How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

‘Whoa. Fortunately, it seems to have worked.’

Leo looked at Belena.

At the words she spoke, her eyes were constantly shaking.

I could guess what he was thinking.

‘Through me, you must be thinking that you can find traces of your dead husband.’

I said that on purpose.

She even entered the Casein Guild as a countess in order to find her husband’s evil beast.

Nevertheless, there has been no proper performance yet, so are you going to miss this thread of hope?

‘Never.’

Leo was sure.

She can never be against herself.

The third reason he came to Daesurim Mountain by himself was because of this.

Even if he did get into a combat situation, he knew a sure way to stop her.

Leo smiled and looked at Belena.

“Why is that? Are you afraid of me tracking you?”

“… … .”

Belena had a confused face.

She bit her lip hard with trembling eyes.

Then he asked in a trembling voice.

“that that… It’s called tracking magic… What is the exact mechanism?”

“If you’re a wizard, you probably haven’t read the legend of King Karst. Have you not heard of ＜Frost Tracing＞?”

“… I know that.”

Karst King’s Arcane Magic ＜Frost Breath＞.

Although the magic has not been passed down, there are quite a few traditions about what the magic actually was like.

Belena knew them well.

‘Frost Breath is said to be all-round magic, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it the best magic.’

King Karst was a mage, but he could do all sorts of tasks such as melee combat, long-distance combat, tracking, concealment, and sealing.

‘And frost tracking… . It is said that this is definitely a magic that can retrace traces of the air remaining in the atmosphere.’

Legend has it that after becoming a great wizard, King Karst met the King of the Ice Spirit.

At that time, he was inspired by the Spirit King’s Spirit Spells and created the Frost Tracking Spell.

‘It says that by reading the memories engraved in the air, traces from years ago can be traced back… I snorted… .’

Since it’s a fairy tale, I thought it was bluffing.

Even Belena, a 5th-class wizard, couldn’t have imagined such a thing.

But Leo denied her suspicions.

“The air you breathed in this Great Forest Mountain. Traces left in the air. Even if it becomes very subtle, it does not easily disappear even after several years. And in those few years, that’s enough time for me to rise to the fifth rank and practice frost tracking.”

“… … .”

“It doesn’t matter if we go back like this. ‘Cause I can’t stop you But later on, you will definitely be caught by me.”

Leo looked at her with his eyes wide open.

Belena had no choice but to admit it.

‘It’s not a bluff.’

Looking at Prince Leo’s expression now, it didn’t seem that way.

I wasn’t bragging or exaggerating, I was just telling the truth.

I felt it.

“… Sigh. Leo degraded. We make a deal.”

In the end, she held out the white flag first.

Then, Leo gave a subtle smile that was barely visible.

Of course, I was cheering on the inside.

‘It worked!’

red witch. Countess Hermery.

It’s easy to make her an ally before she completely corrupts.

‘Whether it’s a skill, an item, or a special ability. I just need to show them that I have a clue to find my dead husband.’

Then, even if she was an enemy, you can immediately recruit her as an ally.

Leo did it perfectly.

He asked, tilting his head as if he didn’t know.

“A deal?”

“Yes. Listening to it, both you and I must be satisfied enough.”

Beneath the moonlight, Belena smiled and held out her hand.

* * *

“Sir Drexla. In a little while we will arrive at the top of Daesoorim Mountain.”

“late. Speed it up a little bit.”

“all right!”

Five knights were climbing Daesilim Mountain at breakneck speed in the middle of the night.

They were knights of the Royal Guard, including Drexla.

Drexla had a worried expression on her face.

‘Lowering… . No matter how much you say you’ve been granted free entry, to think you’re running away from home in the middle of the night like this… .’

It was Celise, his maid in charge, who discovered that Leo had disappeared.

Today, Leo went to bed early.

I came to check in the middle of the night to see if I was sick, but I saw an empty bed.

All that was left was a small note lying on the table.

[I like the moonlight, so I will take a walk to the top of Daesurim Mountain. I’ll be back before morning, so don’t worry too much.]

It was a note that made the viewer very upset.

Leo is a third-class wizard.

It’s not an intruder in the royal castle, and it’s difficult to stop a third-class wizard from going out from the inside.

In addition, Leo is well aware of the structure of the royal castle, and since he is a member of the royal family, he is not subject to security magic.

It was a complete runaway success.

Selyz, who found the note, posted a report right away, and the guards, led by Drexla, were dispatched.

Of course.

It wasn’t even during the day, but in the middle of the night, the prince went out on a picnic. how would you look at it

‘Why don’t you take me out from the beginning… .’

If you want to take a walk at night, you can accompany them enough.

If so, I wouldn’t suffer like this, and I wouldn’t have worried.

The knights kicked the ground with all their might and ran up the mountain.

They quickly reached the top.

Then, I was surprised to see the scenery of the summit unfolding in front of my eyes.

‘What the hell is this… .’

Was there some kind of war?

The summit of Daesilim Mountain was a mess.

a deeply sunken land. Scattered ice crystals and piles of wet dirt on the floor.

There was not a single corner that was intact, as if something powerful had hacked through it.

Drexla gripped the handle of the knife in tension.

“ah. Drexla. I’m here?”

– Sabak.

Then, under the moonlight, eyes shining silver appeared.

The one who emerges from the darkness with silver hair fluttering.

“… Lowering.”

Seeing Leo, Drexla involuntarily swallowed her saliva.

The atmosphere I felt from Leo was unusual.

‘Mana… .’

It felt like the remaining mana was flying around Leo, no matter how violently he used the magic.

“… Are you okay?”

“It’s fine.”

“The surroundings were a mess… .”

“Oh, this?”

Leo grinned.

“I came to Daesurim Mountain because I couldn’t sleep. It’s nice that this place is rich in mana.”

“… … .”

“So, I was excited and practicing magic, so I made it like this. lol. Looking back, I think it was too bad.”

Drexla was stunned to hear that.

‘… magic practice? Are these signs of practice?’

No matter how much Leo is called a third-class wizard, he is only 7 years old.

He knew from the king that he had succeeded in the progress of Karst the Great.

‘But this much… .’

There was no uproar in the surroundings, as if a storm had passed by.

It was too destructive to say that it was only created by a third-class wizard.

‘If I had been at this scene, would I have been able to stop it?’

I don’t know.

It was such a shocking sight.

“But why is Drexla here?”

“… Didn’t you sneak out at night? I followed you in case it was dangerous.”

Saying that, Drexla smiled inwardly.

What a danger.

I saw this and knew for sure.

Leo is not a child to be protected.

He was a full-fledged wizard.

“Oh yeah? My father gave me free entry, so I thought I could just walk around at night.”

When Leo said that, he was at a loss for words.

In fact, there was no condition to use the pass only during the day, and Leo had the skills to protect himself.

As a result, I had nothing to say.

Drexla hesitated and continued.

“… If you don’t go to bed this late, you won’t grow taller, my dear.”

“Oh yeah? That doesn’t work. I want to grow taller quickly.”

Leo shrugged.

“yes. Then let’s go back.”

After saying that, Leo hurriedly walked towards the mountain path.

It seems that there is no regret anymore.

Drexla and the Knights of the Praetorian Guard followed suit.

On the way down, Leo glanced up at the summit of Great Forest Mountain.

Those traces were the traces of Leo and Belena’s battle.

However, just before the knights arrived, he covered up new traces just like he did.

Thanks to that, when I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn’t see any traces of Bellena’s magic.

‘Countess Ermery. It was a good deal for both of us.’

Leo smiled softly.

* * *

Runaway after obtaining free entry.

The king was very tense.

This is Leo, who has been out for a walk at night since the first day he got the pass.

How surprised I was when I saw it.

But since then Leo has been quiet.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Quite often, he traveled around the capital, including the capital, but it was all daytime outings with escort knights.

After the first deviation, I spent more calm days than I thought.

‘I’d like you to keep quiet like now, Leo.’

For the first few weeks, the knights secretly watched Leo on the orders of the king, but there was nothing to worry about.

It was because I was confined to my room and investing all my time in studying and research.

She looked so nerdy that the king later told her to go for a walk.

like that.

A year and a few months flew by like lightning.

* * *

– Tup.

I closed the book Leo was reading.

He leaned against the bed and got up from his seat.

The 7-year-old had just turned 9 after his birthday.

There is a saying that children grow up quickly.

Like that said, Leo has grown greatly over the past time.

He is growing taller and the atmosphere he exudes has become a little more mature.

Of course, he is still 9 years old, but at least he looked 2-3 years older than his peers.

Right now, Leo was dissatisfied with his expression.

‘Tsk. It’s very tight.’

The wizard’s realm was divided into 1st to 9th ranks.

Among them, ranks 1-3 are wizards.

And starting from the 4th rank, they are called ‘mages’.

Not too long ago, Leo reached the end of the third class.

He has lifted his label as a wizard and is moving toward the realm of being called a wizard.

But why would there be a standard for dividing wizards and wizards?

Between the 3rd and 4th classes, there was a huge swamp of enlightenment.

It was such a huge wall that many wizards were frustrated because they couldn’t cross this place.

No matter how great Leo’s talent was, it couldn’t be helped that he had to spend a lot of time here.

‘I think if I train like this for one or two more years, I’ll be able to easily overcome the wall… .’

The level of being at the end of the 3rd class at the age of 9 is insane.

But no matter how talented you are, it takes a lot of hard work to rise above that.

But Leo is running out of time.

There are 11 years left before turning 20.

You have to reach the 9th class in 11 years, but how many years do you spend at the 3rd class?

absolutely unacceptable

So Leo thought of another way.

‘Because I don’t only have magic talent.’

Leo’s biggest advantage.

That is, he was a deceased person in the game of this worldview.

How many shortcuts do you know?

Already in his mind, several artifacts that could increase his level of magic came to mind.

And that’s what we need most right now.

‘I’ll have to go out soon.’

for the past two years.

I eagerly wandered around the capital and searched for ‘that item’.

Along with arcane magic frost breath, the weapon representing the great mage Karst.

‘Not in the capital. That’s for sure.’

I needed to go out a little further.

I have to visit my father after a long time.
