How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

Chapter 90

“I was really lucky. master. Even if I met Garibaldi-sama, I thought he would be safe… .”

Dio was talking gibberish.

I wasn’t that crazy.

To meet the Vampire Lord.

Wasn’t Dio even a subordinate of Charpeng, who had once participated in the road scramble?

If you get caught, you will definitely die.

Of course, Garibaldi wouldn’t be able to recognize even a small pike like that, but he couldn’t help being nervous.

“Be quiet. My head is ringing.”

When Leo raised his hand, Dio closed his mouth.

His fussing was also bothering me now.

‘Let’s think about it. What did he say?’

Vampire Lord Garibaldi.

I was really unlucky to meet him here.

To be honest, I was surprised that he didn’t die.

If Count Guillotine had been here, and not himself, he would have died.

‘They misunderstood me as King Karst.’

Let’s say it’s possible because the part exposed to the outside because of the ice armor is about the eyes.

It’s because I use Frost Breath with the same silver eyes.

But he is a person from 300 years ago.

Even if you live to be 100 years old, it is normal for you to have died at least 200 years ago.

But if you listen to what Garibaldi says, wouldn’t he speak as if he were alive right now?

‘Besides asking if it was a violation of the agreement, and asking if it was a personal will… .’

He spoke as if he belonged somewhere.

It was strange.

‘There was nothing like that in the game settings… .’

I’ve read the setting book dozens of times and invested years in this game.

Even if he didn’t know something trivial, there was no way he wasn’t aware of big information like the survival of King Karst.

‘I’ll need to look into this in more detail.’

I’ll have to roll my head to see how it moves.

Meanwhile, seeing Leo struggling, Celise clenched her fists.

‘I couldn’t get out… .’

When Garibaldi appeared, she was immobilized by his fighting spirit.

If it was a living thing, of course it was.

The intangible momentum emitted by someone as strong as Garibaldi was not something that could be overcome with willpower alone.

However, Celise blamed herself even more for that.

he is a knight

What use is a knight who cannot protect his lord?

＜A knight does not suit you.＞

For a moment, I remembered my father’s words and bit my lip.

That was the moment.

– Took.

“What are you thinking?”

When Leo touched him, Selize suddenly lost his mind.

“Lowering… .”

“I can tell just by looking at your expression. Don’t beat yourself up. He’s like a natural disaster. They are opponents that we can’t do anything about yet.”

“… … .”

“I’d rather try harder with that feeling. So that this never happens again.”

“… All right.”

When Celise struggled to answer, Leo clapped his hands once and refreshed the atmosphere.

“You both know that today’s work is a secret, right? Forget everything you saw or heard today.”

Neither Celise nor Dio were ignorant, so like Leo, I was guessing that the great king of Karst was still alive.

However, the moment Leo tells you to forget, you have to forget.

“Okay, low.”

“Yes, Master.”

Dio is a slave subject to black magic, so of course he couldn’t refuse orders, and Selisse is also Leo’s most trusted knight.

I didn’t think she would reveal a secret.

After issuing the silence order, Leo looked at Hydra.

He was still with his head lowered near Leo.

‘I can’t even leave this guy alive.’

Although he was now ruled by Leo, this authority was not his in the first place.

If Hydra recovers his body and strengthens his mental power, Leo’s dominance will easily escape.

As originally planned, it had to be dealt with before then.

“Selise.”

“Yes lower!”

When Leo chinned it, Selise, who understood the meaning, kicked off the ground and rushed at it.

Blue mana flowed over the ice sword Leo had made, and it was shot straight into the remaining neck of the hydra.

[Freezing Structural Formula – Great Sword Fall]

At the same time, Leo also summoned a huge sword above his head and pierced the Hydra.

-Suddenly!

– Kwajik!

The head of the one who couldn’t resist was cut off.

– Kyaaagh!

The hydra struggled with a scream of pain, but that was only for a moment.

Because all nine heads were cut off, no matter how strong the regenerative powers were, they had no choice but to die.

At the same time, Celise and Leo felt their stomachs fill up.

Because he defeated a powerful enemy like a hydra, his inner ability to deal with mana grew.

“ah… !”

A feeling of pleasure ran through my body for a while.

Moments later, the hydra’s blood dripped like a fountain on their heads.

It was so much that Leo, Celise, and even Dio were all drenched.

said Leo.

“Don’t avoid it because it’s dirty, but get hit a lot. Taking a bath in the blood of a hydra has several effects.”

“Awesome.”

“right. You won’t have to worry about minor illnesses in the future. You will have immunity to weak miasma, and your natural healing power will increase.”

Of course, there is no dramatic effect.

Maybe it’s just a little bit helpful.

This was especially true for Leo, who had taken the serum.

-Suddenly!

Leo summoned the greatsword of ice again and ripped through the body of the hydra.

The greatsword, which was shot several times towards a specific part, opened the wound wide, and something fell out of it.

“Lowering. that’s… ?”

“It is the core of the Hydra.”

A dark red orb the size of a child’s head.

Hydra core.

Even simply taking it, it has the efficacy of an S-class elixir, and if you process it, you can look beyond that.

Besides, it was a bonus to be immune to poison and debuffs like serum.

Leo carefully took the core in his bosom.

This was for later use.

Leo looked at Dio.

“It would be a pity to leave the corpse of the Hydra like that. Can I take it with me?”

“Yes? It’s unreasonable for me to carry that big guy on my back. master.”

“can not?”

D.O broke into a cold sweat as Leo looked at him with a pouty look.

“… … . Let’s do it, let’s do it.”

“It’s a joke. How can I move this big thing by myself?”

“thank you. master! You understand my heart like this… . I will give my allegiance!”

“I’ll contact Gawain and ask him to send some of his men. Wait here, join them and take this body.”

“… Are you saying I’ll wait here alone?”

“This is so precious that I cannot leave it behind. Can you do that much?”

Dio couldn’t answer.

Aside from how dangerous the hydra’s poisonous ground is, isn’t this the place where I met Garibaldi!

‘If we stay like this and meet again… .’

But refusal was impossible.

At Leo’s staring gaze, D.O finally lowered his head.

“… All right.”

“yes. I understand what you’re thinking, but the chances of Garibaldi returning are infinitely low, so don’t worry too much.”

Leo patted him on the shoulder.

Leo and Celise returned to the garrison.

Other troops who went out to search also returned one after another.

“Are you not injured during the search, my lord?”

“You are fine. How about Sir Hanson?”

“I am fine too. There weren’t many monsters in the poison area. It’s probably because the ones that came before have been wiped out.”

There was no damage to the forces that went out to search, whether it was the Imperial Army or the Kingdom Army.

A lucky few didn’t encounter a single monster on their way back.

“Okay. I need to go in, Sir.”

“You look tired. Okay. Leave the troop management to me and rest in peace, my lord.”

Normally, the commander should rest and the deputy commander should do minor tasks.

However, it was not a problem because Hanson was only a nominal position as a commander, and he took care of Leo’s convenience.

Leo headed to his quarters with Celise.

“Selise. What do you think of what you just heard?”

“I haven’t heard anything.”

“I asked you to forget it, but now tell me your opinion.”

“… … .”

Celise was troubled after hearing Leo’s words.

she’s not stupid

On the contrary, it was quite clever.

He speculated on Leo’s situation and what Garibaldi had said.

“… Perhaps the founder, King Karst, is still alive… I would like to.”

As I was speaking, I had doubts.

How can humans live so long?

“Isn’t it? But that’s it. I didn’t read one or two books when I was in the royal castle, but I’ve never seen a record that the great king of Karst is alive anywhere.”

“So do i.”

It was the first news that Leona, who had once read countless books to obtain information about this world, and Sellies, who had studied miscellaneous knowledge as a lady-in-waiting.

Leo was troubled.

It seems difficult to find additional information, at least in the literature in the royal castle.

So how do we know this?

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.

“Is there any place related to King Karst? Well, they set up a museum, or put items they used in their lifetime… .”

While talking, I thought, of course, that it wouldn’t be.

If there was such a thing, he would have stored it in the castle, so Leo wouldn’t know about it.

“there is.”

“there is?”

Celise’s answer was unexpected.

“Yes. There is a war memorial where several items used by King Karst were enshrined.”

“It’s a war memorial… . Where is it?”

“that’s… .”

It was then.

A cautious voice came from outside the house.

-I… Lowering. This is John. All wizards have gathered.

Leo gave several lectures to the kingdom’s wizards while coming this far.

Wizards with a higher level than Leo were also impressed by Leo’s intuition and novel interpretation, so there were a lot of wizards who wanted to take the lecture.

Even when he was at the garrison, there was nothing to do, so he gave several lectures, and each time it was Yohan’s role to convey that the wizards had been convened.

Anyway, it’s Leo’s body.

So the dangerous role of whining to the prince to give him lessons was always taken on by John.

“I’ll be leaving soon, so wait.”

Leo also had a lot to learn while teaching, so he wasn’t the type to reject such a request.

I was thinking of just finishing the conversation with Celise and going out.

When Leo gave him a look, as if to continue, Celise opened her mouth.

“It’s in the Viscounts Borden’s.”

“A war memorial?”

“Yes.”

Viscount Borden.

It was a familiar place.

“… … .”
