How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

chapter 12



-Jerbuck. that buck

Leo and Elise walked for quite some time.

– Just a little bit here… Let’s go a little further.

-I think we’re almost there.

-About this… . no. move a little more

It wasn’t too far.

But when I got to the area, I got a little lost.

This is because it was difficult to grasp the minute response at close range.

However, after several trials and errors, Leo soon found his destination.

“… Stop here.”

“yes? here?”

Elise stopped walking at Leo’s words.

It was in the middle of the sewer road that still continued.

There was nothing around.

But Leo was sure.

‘Here the reaction of blood is most intense. If you go further than here, you will fall to the station.’

I checked the reaction meticulously two or three times.

In other words, this is where the legacy of the great Karst is located.

“Is there anything here?”

Elise looked at the blank space from the side and asked.

But Leo shook his head.

“no.”

He came to this ruin once when he was playing a wizard in Lost World.

At that time, I had obtained a small amount of royal blood as a quest item, but I knew this place anyway.

Originally, you have to find clues in the royal library through various linked quests and find out the starter word that opens the sealed ruins.

‘I also hung on to that quest for almost three weeks in real time.’

It was a quest to find the legacy left by the 5 heroes, so I did it without knowing how difficult it was.

Perhaps it was because I found it at the cost of getting my eyes red, but I still remembered that starting word.

“Estel Luna.”

Leo muttered softly.

Then, the air flickered open, and a blue light burst out.

Laughter came out of nowhere.

“found.”

Sitting on Elise’s back, Leo’s eyes twinkled.

* * *

“What, what is this!? Awesome!”

Elise’s eyes twinkled.

A sudden burst of blue light.

She thought Leo made this.

“Let’s go in.”

“Can go?”

Leo pointed forward with his hand.

The way he was sitting on her back was quite natural.

“Yeah, but can I come in? Jerebin told me not to go to places that look dangerous… .”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Jerebin was Alice’s handmaid.

It seems that the early education of this kind was not bad.

but… .

‘Then didn’t you think it was dangerous to come to the sewer like this from the beginning?’

Leo shrugged and said.

“It’s fine. There is nothing dangerous inside.”

“really?”

“yes.”

Really.

This quest doesn’t require you to face monsters or pass difficult traps.

Rather, you have to use your brain to reason and infer.

After passing through it, only the legacy left by the great king of Karst remains.

“Now I will walk on my feet. sister.”

Leo got off Elise’s back.

“Let’s go in.”

“… yes!”

Alice mustered up the courage to follow Leo and set foot.

There was a deep curiosity in his eyes.

As soon as my body touched the blue halo, my vision immediately changed.

They were in the middle of the sewer, and they had entered some stone chamber.

In the middle of a stone chamber the size of a small studio, a blue sphere and a red sphere floated one by one.

“Wow… beautiful… .”

Ellis let out an exclamation.

The halo was spinning in small places, drawing a mysterious trajectory.

Leo went straight towards the ball of light.

And as soon as I touched the blue pile… .

[Obtain <Arcane Magic – Frost Breath>]

Hearing the alarm ringing in his ears, Leo smiled brightly.

* * *

“Ugh. omg! What is this all of a sudden! Why did the knights attack us?”

“I-I don’t know, brother!”

Three men ran through the alley breathing heavily.

They are the ends of the back alley organization, the Casein Guild.

To be precise, they were the sources of funding, who wanted to be at the bottom.

What they usually do is simple.

He collected money from several stores in the name of protection costs and gave it to the Casein Guild.

Even if it’s called the kingdom of magic, the dark side exists.

This is because underworld organizations are like cockroaches that get more and more messy the more they are eradicated.

In particular, the Casein Guild, one of the biggest names in the underworld now, is famous for being particularly powerful among all previous organizations.

Therefore, their dream was to join the Casein Guild.

And almost 90% of them were successful.

He borrowed money from merchants to raise funds, and gave a fairly large amount of money to the Casein Guild.

“Aren’t we caught robbing the shops by any chance?”

“Do not be ridiculous. I didn’t pay attention to the main street at all and only robbed the clumsy side of the alley. How did you find out?”

It is the capital and nowhere else.

If you make a mistake, the guards will catch you and send you to the gallows.

So I did my best and moved carefully.

“I haven’t had any problems with my hard work so far, so what is this all of a sudden?”

The man called big brother, Nerville, recalled the situation from a while ago.

While I was receiving a reward from the owner of a fruit shop, a young guy suddenly got into a fight.

When I glanced at it, it didn’t look like much.

There were only a few attendants who looked like sannims and three kids.

So at this point, I tried to lightly scold the store owner to show them some of their strength… .

“Or brother. Could those bastards we were arguing with at the store earlier be the offspring of some kind of noble family?”

“nobility?”

The attendants who thought they were sandals were strong.

The subordinates approached with a grumpy face, but were knocked down in an instant when the sword flashed.

As soon as Nerville and his two younger siblings saw it, they quickly threw it out the back door.

He realized that he was no match for a fight.

“Well. Or have you ever made a mistake? Like knights, or nobles who got a grudge… .”

“Could that be? If I did, I would have died long ago.”

The younger brothers shook their heads.

Nerville nodded as well.

Resentment can arise only when the class is right.

To get involved with knights and nobles, they were too small.

“Aye. Then what the hell is this… .”

Nerville murmured with a sigh.

Besides, when I noticed, the opponent was chasing them.

Right now, I took advantage of the back alley geography and escaped well, but… .

‘Looking at their skills, they’ll be caught soon.’

If it is discovered that he is a minion of the Casein Guild, it is a medium sentence.

that’s troublesome

I have to somehow escape before then.

While Nerville was agonizing over that thought.

– Knocked up. less so

Suddenly, the cover of the manhole in the street they were passing through lifted.

Surprised, Nerville and his two younger brothers stepped back.

Could it be that the pursuers have already followed you!

“Puha! It finally came out.”

However, what appeared after opening the manhole cover was a girl covered in soot.

The child, who would have looked quite pretty once washed, pulled up the boy who was following him.

Nerville wanted something like that.

All of a sudden, kids come up from the manhole cover.

“Oh!”

At that moment, one of the younger brothers opened his eyes wide.

He whispered in Nerville’s ear.

“brother. Those are the kids I saw in front of the fruit shop earlier.”

“what!?”

Nerville’s eyes widened at his brother’s words.

Looking closely, I was familiar with something.

They were the kids who were with the saengnim and the kid who messed around.

Nerville’s mind went tight for a moment.

‘… Wait a minute.’

The sandals they were carrying were great swordsmen.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Judging by the escorts he brought with them, they must have been the offspring of nobles.

‘Then, wouldn’t it be possible to catch these guys and negotiate?’

If they hold them hostage and make a deal with their lives being spared… .

“Guys! Catch them!”

Nerville shouted.

“Yes, yes?”

“No brother… . Are those kids from aristocratic families?”

The younger brothers hesitated.

What terrifying creatures they are.

If you recklessly incur the aristocrat’s resentment, you will die unconditionally.

“You fools! Even if we don’t touch them, we’ll go after them if we get caught! Do you want to be unable to do anything and turn into a corpse in an alley?”

The younger siblings nodded as if they understood only then.

Then he approached the children who had just come out of the manhole.

“Hey guys. If you listen carefully, the uncle won’t hit you.”

* * *

Leo looked at the big men who came towards him.

‘What is this… .’

Even when I came out of the underpass safely, I thought it was all over.

If they voluntarily appear to the guards who are looking for them, it will be over.

I’m sorry, but… No, it would have gotten a lot, but the gains were greater.

Didn’t you get the legacy of King Karst, who is a whopping 5 heroes?

The level of scolding and punishment was more than enough.

‘But if the price is a threat to life, this is a bit difficult.’

Leo frowned.

You don’t know how strong the men in front of you are.

However, being an adult itself was threatening in the first place.

Aren’t they now 7-year-old and 8-year-old children respectively?

The enemy, on the other hand, is a tall, rough-looking adult man.

Even as many as three.

You can never win by just fighting.

It was then.

Elise took a half step in front of Leo.

“… Alice?”

“who… You should call me sister.”

Alice answered in a trembling voice.

Her legs were shaking a little, perhaps because she was frightened, but she blocked Leo’s way with her fists clenched.

“thing… Don’t worry. My sister said… . Sue, I heard that you took a lot of classes… . Among them, there was martial arts training, right? So… Trust your sister.”

Did you come out to protect your brother?

Leo looked at Ellis with a strange look.

The approaching men giggled.

“Ew? what. You want to fight us?”

“Ha ha ha. little boy How dare you stand against a member of the Casein Guild? Courage is imaginary!”

‘Casein Guild?’

Leo was startled.

The Casein Guild was a place he knew well.

It was a guild that had quite a large force in the shadows of the Roman Kingdom.

‘Guild member… I don’t think so. Are they the scraps related to that?’

Leo immediately recognized the identities of these guys.

If he was a real Casein guild member, there was no way he would sell his name like that.

Before that, I’m going to squeak and finish it.

Leo whispered as he gently pulled Elise’s arm.

“sister. Listen carefully.”

“Uh, uh… ?”

“Did you get anything? When I give you a signal, write right away.”

Leo said with a hard face.

‘I didn’t know I’d be able to write this right away… .’

The legacy left by the great king of Karst.

Arcane magic, breath of frost.

However, Leo wasn’t the only one who got magic there.

Inside the stone chamber, there was not only frost breath, but also fire-type arcane magic.

<Fire-type Arcane Magic – Phoenix’s Judgment>

Arcane magic obtained by Elise, among fire-type magics, its destructive power is counted among the hands.

‘I don’t know why this is in the Ruins of the Great King of Karst… .’

You can find out about that later.

You have to focus on being strong right now.

“You know how to use an arrow of light, right? With the feeling of unfolding it, I will unfold it with the newly acquired magic this time. Okay?”

“Yes… !”

Before I knew it, two men approached me.

“hehehe. Hey guys. You don’t have to be so scared. If you follow me calmly, the men will not harm you.”

They misunderstood Leo and Elise’s whispers.

They thought they were scared because they saw them.

Leo’s eyes flashed.

‘You only get one chance.’

Now that they are caught off guard, we have to deal with it at once.

Leo focused.

Grabbing the mana particles spread throughout nature into his heart, he moved as it was.

Not too long ago, he only dealt with 1 mana particle, but he grew while gaining legacy.

– Ugh!

Three mana particles were sprayed forward along Leo’s control.

[Rising Ice]

– Papapak!

Ice shards shot from Leo’s fingertips.

The ice that hit the chests of the two men suddenly began to emit cold air.

-Passs.

A body that cools rapidly.

The two of them backed away in surprise.

“Oops! Cool!”

“What, what is this!”

Leo shouted at the panicking men.

“Sister, now!”

“Haap!”

Two arrows made of flame pierced the men with a spirit.

-Fury!

– Schwak!

One by one each, a blow aimed precisely at the chest.

An arrow of fire pierced the center of his frozen chest.

His body became cold and he couldn’t avoid it, and the cold and flame harmonized, causing even greater damage.

“aaah!”

“Ahh-!”

They screamed and collapsed.

Nerville, who was watching from behind, widened his eyes.

‘No, he’s a wizard!’

Wizard.

They are the main pillars that lead this kingdom of magic, and are terrifying to back alley gangsters like them.

It was absurd that these little kids were wizards, but I couldn’t deny what I saw with my own eyes.

‘But… It’s not that there’s no hope at all.’

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Judgment was quick.

Nerville took out the sword from his waist at once and charged.

“die-!”

Wizards, of course, are terrifying beings.

But with kids like that, they probably aren’t that strong yet.

He decided that if he approached at once and decapitated him, he would have a chance of winning.

Nerville spewed life and charged.

Leo clenched his fist at such Nerville.

It was an urgent situation, but my head was cool.

The ‘Brain Spinning Best’ trait helps you make the best decisions even in these situations.

‘Damn it, the amount of mana is low now.’

Rank 1 magic recorded in <Frost Breath> – Rising ice.

It is a magic that creates small ice crystals.

Even with the 3 mana particles that Leo can handle now, it showed quite strong power.

If you unfold this one more time, you should be able to block the sword of the guy running right now.

But the problem is… .

‘If that happens, I’ll pass out due to mana depletion.’

If you pass out in this dangerous alley, the next thing becomes too dangerous.

Alice might find the Royal Guard well.

‘But there is no other way.’

If you stay like this, you will die.

I had no choice.

Leo bit his lip and raised his hand to work the magic.

That was the moment.

-puck!

Something suddenly appeared and struck Nerville.

“Keep it off.”

It bounced off with a scream of agony and crashed into the wall.

Perhaps she passed out in one shot, and she was unable to move and slumped.

“uh… ?”

Leo looked at him with puzzled eyes.

I haven’t even cast my magic yet… ?

The doubt was quickly resolved.

A man with a finite impression appeared and was staring at them.

“Prince Leo… . Princess Alice… .”

Drexla, who was the captain of the escort.

“Joe, what the hell was that magic… ? oh no that’s not it… Are you okay… ?”

He approached the two of them with complex eyes mixed with anger, worry, relief, disbelief, and astonishment.
