Genius Is Taught by Geniuses

When night falls in the penthouse, we usually do what we want to do.

If you want to train, train; if you want to read, read a book.

However, most of the ‘humans’ in the penthouse of Tigris were training enthusiasts, so they usually trained in swordsmanship.

Sora raised her tongue while watching Charlotte, Irene, Linia, and Trisha training in swordsmanship.

“It’s really great. That’s how you do swordsmanship training at the Imperial University all day and then practice swordsmanship again. Aren’t you tired?”

Hearing Sora’s words, Charlotte said, sweating.

“I don’t think I’ve ever thought of it as boring.”

“Then are you having fun?”

“It used to be fun, but I don’t think it’s particularly fun now.”

“Then why are you training? Don’t you want to play like the others?”

“It’s the only thing I can do.”

“what?”

Charlotte raised her sword again and said.

“It will help Instructor Tigris.”

Trisha stopped the sword she was wielding and said.

“You want to play. conch. Come on, swing the rapier.”

“shit! Aren’t they all just guys with brains and muscles? Let’s watch our play, go shopping and play!”

“Isn’t it still not enough for you to play? If I were your skill, I wouldn’t have even slept.”

“Strictly speaking, I am a telecommunication magician! No wonder you can’t handle rapiers!”

Nemesis sighed and said.

“But it’s true that your needles have gotten sharper since Tigris-sama taught me the rapier.”

“So it’s true that I can’t quit, but… oh I don’t know.”

Sora sighed and picked up the rapier again.

At that moment, the terrace door opened and Tigris and Rain Rover entered.

“uh? Is Tigris here?”

“Tricia, do you have a minute?”

Trisha nodded her head.

“yes.”

* * *

Tigris, Rain Rover and Trisha entered the study and sat down.

Trisha drank the cold water and opened her mouth.

“What are you doing this for?”

“I have one question for you. Do you know anything about the Demon King’s constellation?”

Trisha’s expression hardened slightly at the word of the demon king’s constellation.

And after thinking for a while, he shook his head.

“no. I don’t know.”

“You have a celestial map of Byeolbagi, but you don’t know the constellation of the Demon King?”

Trisha furrowed her eyebrows in thought and opened her mouth.

“To be precise, I could find it, but I didn’t have to find it. Do you want to see the demon king’s constellation?”

“Yes. Is there any reason why we shouldn’t be looking for the Demon King’s constellation?”

“That’s why I made an appointment with Captain Teho. Don’t ever tell anyone about the Demon King’s constellation.”

“Is there any reason the Elder told me not to show it to others?”

Trisha wondered if she was thinking as deeply as the wrinkles on her forehead, then drank bottled water once and opened her mouth.

“It is said that there is a long tradition passed down to the beasts who use this celestial map of Byeolbagi. That’s why we never visit the Demon King’s constellation.”

Rain Rover opened his mouth.

“Then Sir Trisha could find the Demon King’s constellation, but didn’t he have to?”

“yes. Well, that’s a promise. And I cannot break a tradition that has been passed down for over 1,000 years.”

“Then do you know why I told you not to visit the Demon King’s constellation?”

“You only said it was taboo, so I don’t know. However, it is a little strange that Captain Teho was very careful even to mention the word “Demon King” itself.”

Trisha recalled the time when Teho received a map of the starry sky.

– You must never look for the constellation.

-Thinking about the constellation avoids mentioning it, even more absolutely not writing it down.

Tigris tilted his head.

“Did you forbid writing?”

“yes. Oh, by the way, the word ‘Demon King’ does not exist in the mermaid language. Instead, they call it ‘the tree slayer from the north’.”

Trisha took out a piece of paper and a pen from the desk and wrote ‘Tree Killer from the North’ in her sign language.

However, the number of characters was a whopping 36 characters.

“Very long.”

“It is the longest and most complex of the sign language. Originally, there were a total of 51 letters, but I wrote a few letters off.”

“Is it a taboo to write everything down?”

“yes. Right. There are very few beasts who know all the spellings. Maybe even a cow doesn’t know?”

One thing is certain.

The beasts are afraid to even mention the Demon King and are avoiding it.

Trisha said, looking at Tigris carefully.

“If you want to see the constellation of the Demon King, I’ll leave the starry sky map here for a while…”

“Okay. I will ask you later when I meet Elder Teho.”

Trisha let out a small sigh of relief.

“Thank you. But why do you want to find the constellation of the Demon King?”

“It’s a secret.”

“Well, it almost seemed like it. Do you have any more questions about the constellation? I can tell you everything except the Demon King.”

Then, Rain Rover said.

“Are there any constellations of the hero Pereira or the sword castle Hoth?”

“Oh, I can tell you that. I’m also nicknamed the Relic Hunter, so I was really curious about the relics of those two heroes, so I searched diligently. But none.”

“No?”

Trisha nodded her head.

“yes. It’s not just those two. The indomitable warrior ‘Ahad’, the fang ‘Elysia’ who guards the World Tree, and ‘Archipiter’ who looks down on the sky, there are three constellations, right? But there is no constellation of Hero Pereira and Sword Saint Hoth.”

“Does that make sense? Why are there no constellations for those two? I heard that the constellation is born naturally when it comes and goes in people’s mouths?”

“I know that too. But I don’t know if it’s something more necessary or if it’s for some reason. However, there is an interesting saying among adventurers who chase after relics.”

“what is that?”

“The constellation and man do not exist at the same time.”

Trisha randomly drew constellations on the paper.

“For example, I will say that your Majesty the Emperor himself made a constellation to represent Lord Tigris and made it known throughout the empire. Then, since the constellation symbolizing Lord Tigris was born, it is correct that the Holy Relics should be created, right?”

“Ummm… is that right?”

“But no one has ever appeared holding a relic that symbolized him. But there is one exception.”

Tigris seemed to know the answer.

“Devil.”

“yes. Right. Only the Demon King ruled the continent with the armor and sword that symbolized him. Isn’t it strange?”

“I heard it and saw it.”

Tigris was in trouble.

Neither Pereira nor Hoth fought with the sword that symbolized them.

But how did the Demon King walk around the continent carrying two of his own relics?

The more I learned about the demon king’s identity, the more strange the demon king was.

“So, in fact, many adventurers say that it is an artifact made using dragon scales and bones, rather than the armor and black relics that the Demon King was holding.”

“But the Holy Sacred will be right. If it weren’t for the holy relics, after the demon king disappeared, the holy relics that symbolize the demon king should have appeared in this land.”

“Right. First of all, when adventurers speculate that the Demon Lord is an exceptional case and the reason why there are no relics of Hero Ferreira and Sword Saint Hoth, there is a saying that the reason why the two relics are not there is because they are still alive.”

“·················ogue.”

Tigris and Rain Rover got goosebumps for a moment.

Pereira is currently sealed in a mysterious land with the Demon King.

I don’t know if it’s correct to call it alive, but according to Amoris, Pereira’s soul and body are trapped in that mysterious land.

So, if Pereira’s holy relics don’t exist, there’s a chance that the sword castle hose is still alive.

“Come to think of it, after the sword castle Hoth also went to extinction, no one knew where it was.”

“Ah, I was just joking, do you believe me? How are those two alive…?”

Trisha’s pupils trembled when she saw Tigris and Rain Rover’s hard expressions.

“Ah… isn’t it? Are you kidding me?”

“·················ogue.”

“a······.”

Trisha looked at Tigris, who was speechless, and her heart sank.

Tigris would rather not have said it, because he is not a liar.

“······really?”

“I don’t know the hose, but Pereira is alive.”

Trisha dropped the bottle of water in her hand.

* * *

Tigris opened his eyes as the morning sunlight tickled his eyes.

As I got out of the meditation practice conducted every morning, the green terrace of the exceptionally bright terrace filled my sight.

Tigris turned his head and looked to the side.

Next to him was a Rain Rover.

He said he wanted to meditate at dawn a while ago, so he gave me permission, and he seemed to be doing pretty well.

“Ummm…”

‘······is not it.’

Rain Rover slept more than expected.

When I heard it, he said that he sleeps a lot because empathizing with his summons is more mentally exhausting than I thought.

When a person who normally always seems perfect becomes so sloppy, I involuntarily keep looking at the Rain Rover with a strange feeling that tickles my chest.

Tigris decided not to wake up the Rain Rover.

Instead, I decided to meditate for a little longer.

It is not a time to look down on the red abyss of Tigris, but a time to reflect on what happened yesterday and think about the future.

Tigris took a deep breath and remembered what had happened yesterday.

Yesterday, I spent all day in the library looking for materials and chatting with Trisha, but there was no income as expected.

Because I couldn’t find out about the Demon King’s constellation, and I didn’t get any hints about Uno.

I could only understand that there were more secrets than I thought in this world.

Although it was a pitiful ending, I knew that all my questions would be cleared if I finally entered the dwarf archives, so it wasn’t that I wasn’t without income.

‘In the end, we have to bring back Uros.’

Uros, the holy relic of the dwarves.

Tigris promised to receive access to the archives in exchange for returning the relics to the dwarves.

Because he had experience overcoming the ordeal of the constellation of Uros before the return, he will be able to overcome it much more easily than before the return.

‘The Uros must have appeared around this time next year. But not in my current state.’

After Uros appeared on the continent, there is a reason why he couldn’t find its owner for 6-7 years.

The difficulty of the ordeal of the constellation of Uros is truly heinous.

This is because Uros is actually against dragons, as Dwarves were made to escape the fear of dragons.

Of course, you don’t kill the dragon, you just have to endure the dragon’s attack until Uros is completed, but it’s almost impossible to withstand the dragon’s attack with a determined and ruthless attack.

If it were not for the Sword Master at the time of entering the Trial of the Holy See of T-Christ, he would not have been able to overcome the Trial of the Holy See.

‘Two rings by this time next year…’

Completing the sixth ring is somehow possible by early next year.

There are still a few roots of red manacho that Emperor Todd gave him, and he has been training his body steadily until now.

But the 7th ring is different.

In order to freely use the sword, the symbol of the Sword Master, the body must basically support the Auror sheep aside.

The magic circuit, the passageway through which the aurors pass, must be tougher and wider, and the muscles and bones must grow to the limit that humans can make through training.

‘Should I find a golden carp that appears only in legends?’

Red manacho is an elixir that is specialized in increasing the amount of aurora, not an elixir that increases the body by leaps and bounds.

Just like the golden carp or green carp that Pereira ate, you have to take an elixir that will completely renew your muscles and bones if you eat it, which is not so common.

Of course, the royal road is to develop the body while training.

Although Tigris is completing her body faster than anyone else with cell growth technology, it is unreasonable to complete her body by next year.

At least two more years are needed.

Of course, becoming a sword master at the age of twenty-two is very fast.

However, the situation before the return and the future has changed a lot.

So far, they have been taking advantage of the future they know, but now they are in a situation where they have to overcome the uncertain future only with this body.

Tigris felt his heart beating slightly faster.

it will be hasty

Tigris took another deep breath and concentrated on meditation.

‘Should I get help from Rakan?’

Rakan found and ate the elixir even in the barrel of war.

I probably didn’t find it, but I bought it at the point shop, but it’s very hopeful that you can get the Elixir of Heaven, which is likely to come out in the century, if you only have points.

But now, Rakan also has to grow, so even one point is not worth it.

Investing points in Tigris is not a good option as Rakan’s growth rate is much higher than that of Tigris compared to point investment.

At that moment, I heard a shout from the side.

It looked like the Rain Rover had just woken up.

Tigris continued to meditate without opening his eyes.

No, I pretended to meditate.

Rain Rover’s heart was beating fast, perhaps embarrassed that he fell asleep while meditating.

Tigris slowly opened his eyes as the Rain Rover’s heartbeat became more frequent.

“Kuhm! I was meditating, so the time has already come?”

Tigris pondered for a moment what to say.

It’s okay not to meditate, so is it better to sleep comfortably in bed?

Or is it better to ask him to sleep more until he eats breakfast because he looks tired?

Tigris knew that sometimes not giving an answer could be a wise answer, so he asked a question instead of an answer.

“What would you like to have for breakfast?”

“I do not know. I’m going out today. I’ll have to ask Lenny to cook the meat stew.”

Rain Rover stretched and stood up.

“I don’t know anything else, but it feels pretty good to face the morning sunlight from such a high place. It’s nice that the wind blows coolly.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. Thank you for making me feel this way. Sir Tigris.”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“You were there with me. I probably wouldn’t have felt this way in my entire life without Sir Tigris. I sleep a lot in the morning.”

Rain Rover said with a bright smile.

“So, wake me up every day. You know?”

“······All right.”

Rain Rover said as he stretched.

“Oh, and it suddenly occurred to me while I was meditating. The gold dragon in the imperial palace. Did I mention that Arpem is targeting you?”

Tigris nodded.

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Is there any way to deal with that dragon? I think it would be better to deal with it when it has already been sealed for a long time and has fallen into a state of complete disorientation.”

“It seems there is nothing I can do. If you want to break through the dragon’s scales, at least Bergang, who can open the Auror Blade all the time, must solve it.”

“Can Sir Bergang kill the dragon?”

“It will not be easy. It’s completely annihilated, but it doesn’t mean you can’t feel pain. A catastrophe will happen the moment you touch it and then unconsciously swing your arm.”

Rain Rover sighed in disappointment.

“Then we have to deal with it with a large-scale teleporting magic like that time… It’s a bit of a waste. It would be great to use those gold dragon scales and bones to make weapons.”

“But if you want to handle it safely, that’s right.”

“Ah, sorry. I was going to take the Dragon Heart and give it to Sir Tigris as an engagement gift. I can’t help it.”

When he heard the word “Dragon Heart”, Tigris was instantly awakened as if struck by lightning.

dragon heart.

Isn’t it the best of all the elixir that exist in this world?

Dragon Heart is sleeping in the Draco Requiem, why are you thinking about where to find the elixir now?

“It may not be that there is no way at all.”

Even if there is no way, you have to find it.
