How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

The casino manager said with a fearful expression.

“This place is provided when the customer wants it, and at other times, we use it as a place to temporarily store our books.”

In simple terms, it means that it is usually a warehouse, and on special occasions, it is a place where illegal transactions or work are arranged.

I don’t know who thought it, but I was good at business.

As long as security is certain, illegal immigrants with a lot of money will use it.

“Then bring me a list of the people who stopped by here.”

“We don’t know that either. It is not even recorded in the ledger in the first place. Because of that promise, customers pay large sums of money to use this place as a meeting place.”

Leo frowned.

It was fine as a business savvy, but it seemed hard to find a trace of anything here.

‘Even if he had contact with the person who instigated him or another warlock, there’s no way he would have left any evidence.’

First of all, I have to inform Gawain about this place.

Either he devours it, or he will start a new business with a similar model.

As it turns out, this would be a pretty good line of money.

“Gongja. Why don’t you contact the upstairs and take care of the cleanup?”

Drexla said, checking the ledgers one by one, starting from inside the broken drawer.

The top point he was talking about was to contact the royal castle and receive support from the knights.

Since it was a place that even involved aristocrats, it would have been neat to deal with it that way.

“Well. no. Let’s stay for a while.”

However, Leo shook his head.

He was pursuing a black magician related to the Marquis Legret family.

If the 1st queen was entwined at the end, the news of this place would reach her ears, and then it would be a big deal.

‘At least until I catch Doodle, I need to know that I stole here.’

“Drexla.”

“Yes.”

“Take care of this. Just a few hours, as if nothing happened.”

“… Then, what is Confucius going to do?”

“I have somewhere to go.”

Instead of going round and round, I was thinking of going directly to Doodle’s lair.

* * *

– All right, all right.

Leo got into the carriage and set off.

Naturally, before leaving, Drexla widened her eyes, saying she would never be alone.

In fact, it makes sense.

How could the royal family be allowed to roam without an escort attached?

-no. i will go alone

-Then I will follow.

-Leave it here?

– The escort of the lower level is more important than the Gambling House.

-You know my skills. no need to escort And this is also important to me, so Drexla takes care of it.

-But… .

– Are you going to keep coming out like that? Do I really have to go nasty?

-… … .

As Leo spoke with a mixture of requests and threats, Drexla could only nod in the end.

Even Leo couldn’t help it.

I didn’t know what variables would arise if I dragged out more time, so I had to see the end more than one move.

“Did you know the location?”

“Yes. Nome continues to stay at home after work. I will guide you right there.”

“yes.”

Sitting in the driver’s seat and driving the carriage was Vampire Dio.

After chasing the warlock Doodle, he came back and guided Leo.

The carriage ran through the crowded alleys of the capital.

After going for a while, I stopped in front of a house.

The exterior isn’t too bad, but the area wasn’t that great.

“Are you here?”

“Yes. He’s probably still inside.”

Leo nodded at Dio’s words and checked the wall of the house.

A bloody laugh came out.

The magic flowing around the wall drew a certain pattern and created various forms of magic circles.

“Alarm magic and alert magic. There are also binds that simply bind intruders. If you’ve done it this far, it must mean that there’s anything you can rob here.”

“… Yes?”

Dio asked what he was talking about.

Instead of answering, Leo snapped his finger.

A wave of magical power started from his hand like a wave.

At first glance, it looks like she simply spread magic, but it wasn’t.

The magical power that followed Leo’s will permeated the magic circle and began to break it from the inside.

-Pacan!

-Pacan!

With the sound of breaking magic flowing around the wall, the warning magic disintegrated.

Dio, who was watching from the side, opened his mouth wide.

‘Um, what is that? Did you dismantle the magic now?’

It was not broken by force, but the magic circle that had already been drawn was destroyed.

And that, too, by generating waves of light magic power!

It was like finding out the answer to a complex mathematical formula with just a glance.

no. It was more difficult than that.

That’s because the pattern of a magic circle changes little by little as time goes by.

Even a high-ranking mage couldn’t break the magic circle that way.

This is because it required sense and sense rather than state.

Dio also knew how to use magic, so he felt it clearly.

That any wizard would be thrilled to see the same appearance as before.

Dio naturally looked at Leo with respectful eyes.

“Let’s go in.”

Leo casually walked inside the house.

* * *

“excuse me.”

– Kik.

Leo opened the door to the house and entered.

D.O, who was watching from behind, was dumbfounded.

To see him talking politely and entering while destroying all the magic circles.

Inside was plain.

Carpeted, neatly furnished living room.

kitchen and room etc.

It resembled a typical family home.

“… Who are you?”

And after a while, a cautious voice came from inside.

Leo smiled and replied.

“Mr. Doodle. Nice to see you again. I am Prince Leo.”

“… Lowering?”

After a while, doodles with disbelieving expressions appeared.

He really muttered as he looked at Leo who had entered his house.

“no… , How the hell did you do here… .”

“I liked Mr. Doodle’s class, so I came here to get some supplements.”

Leo is still smiling.

Doodle gulped, then moved the corners of his mouth to create a similar laugh.

“ha ha ha… . this is true I am so honored that you have taken good care of my class. But… , How did you know about my house?”

“I had one of my trusted subordinates find out where the teacher resides.”

To put it simply, it means that you did a tailing.

Cold sweat broke out on the back of Doodle.

‘It’s a big deal… .’

If Prince Leo had moved, surely his escorts would have come as well.

Perhaps his true identity was revealed, and more troops than he thought might have been herded outside.

I glanced toward the table.

Originally, the lights that were supposed to be blinking were off.

‘The magic circle to prevent intruders has been destroyed. It’s so secretly that I don’t even notice… .’

Cold sweat now flowed like a waterfall.

What level of troops did you mean?

It was certain that a mage of at least 5th rank or higher had come.

If it wasn’t for that, it would be unreasonable for him to destroy the magic circle he had built over the course of several nights without even knowing it.

‘Can I get out?’

Then Leo said.

“There were several magic circles outside. The level was very poor. Originally, I was going to just call the teacher, but it was too crude, so I just dismantled it. Are you okay?”

“… … ?”

For a moment, Doodle wondered what that meant.

“no way… , Are you saying that you personally dismantled the magic circle outside?”

“Yes.”

Leo grinned.

Doodle couldn’t believe it.

However, it was strange that Leo visited this place alone to dismiss it as a lie.

‘Come to think of it… , Why are you alone?’

Dio was hiding in the shadows before he knew it, so he couldn’t see him.

So I had no choice but to misunderstand.

If the surroundings are surrounded by other forces, why is there not a single escort next to the prince?

No knight or wizard would expose a prince to such danger.

In other words… , I can’t believe it, but Leo really meant that he had come this far alone.

“Heh, heh heh… . Lowering.”

“Why are you calling me?”

“Where is your escort knight? I know there are articles that look good.”

“Well. Are you talking about Drexla? He’s definitely a great performer. Now, I am investigating an illegal gambling den on my orders.”

“… Is that so.”

At the mention of the gambling house, Doodle gritted his teeth.

“I don’t know what you knew, but once you went inside… .”

“Let’s talk a little faster without dragging on. Warlock Doodle.”

“… … .”

At Leo’s confident words, Doodle’s eyes darkened.

‘I was caught.’

It felt as if my legs would lose strength.

Laughter came out.

“hahahaha… . Excuses won’t work. But even though you know I’m a warlock, I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking of coming here alone.”

“Isn’t it strange to bring someone more when we’re only hunting warlocks?”

Leo shrugged.

It was a gesture that seemed to really think so.

Doodle’s voice changed.

“Keukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeu… .”

He looked at Leo with bloodshot eyes.

“You arrogant bastard! Even if your magic skills are a little better, you act like this! You have no concept!”

Of course, Prince Leo’s talent was truly great enough to be entered in the history books.

However, not yet.

No matter how brilliant a genius is, it takes time to blossom.

And there was a time gap of more than three times between himself and Leo.

Right now, you have an edge over that genius!

‘Quickly deal with Prince Leo and get out of here!’

It seems that he really came to catch himself alone, but this was a heaven-sent opportunity.

“You fool! Pride has caught you!”

“this. I should also add insult to royalty. The punishment will increase.”

Doodle opened his hand to Leo who spoke leisurely.

“I see the mage as an idiot, but let me tell you that there is still a significant difference from you!”

Leo is in the 3rd class and he is in the 4th class.

It’s only a step difference, but there’s a wall in between that can’t be overcome.

From the 4th class mage, you can spread magic across space.

It depends on your ability, but at this close distance, you can create a fireball right in front of your opponent’s head.

And Doodle’s mana was radiated into the air.

Casting began as it transformed into a constant pattern in the air at high speed.

At that moment, Leo also bounced his hands.

– I’m sorry.

Leo’s mana spread, interfering with the mana that Doodle sprayed in the air.

Two different magical powers mixed with each other.

“Uh, what!?”

He inserted his own magic power between the magic lines and prevented the completion of the casting.

He even went one step further and transformed it according to his will.

– Damn it.

As a result, Doodle’s magic was canceled and ice spears under Leo’s control appeared in the air.

Doodle muttered with a soulless expression.

“No, no way… .”

I couldn’t believe what had just happened.

It’s also a problem that Leo was a 4th class mage, not a 3rd class… , interfered with his casting, dispelled it, and when that was not enough, he took away the magic.

‘It’s not a dragon in some fairy tale, how… ?’
