chapter 33
Thank you
Leon found a single flower placed on the altar of reward and doubted his eyes.
While aiming for the elixir of this dungeon, Leon became quite interested in the existence of elixir.
In some cases, the magic stones of monsters do not form crystals, but gather in the intestines to form an inner stage, so I thought it might be helpful to know in advance.
Thus, Leon was able to recognize the identity of the flower at a glance because he had accumulated knowledge about the elixir.
“Elixir of fantasy, Pungbihwa.”
Like the name of a flower that blows in the wind, Pungbihwa had the strong wind energy.
It is not as helpful in increasing circles by boosting mental strength like the nectarine, but just as the cheonhwagwa added the energy of a thousand fires to Leon, there was a rumor that Pungbihwa gave the user the blessing of the wind god, Flopia.
The reason why its efficacy is not certain and it is transmitted by rumor is that the last person who took Pungbihwa was a being talked about only in legends.
It was a thousand years ago that the first wizard’s tower, or magic tower, was established on the Radiant Continent.
With the founding of the Millennium Empire Ibrium, the four great mages built a tower, one for each, and recruited disciples.
Among them, the one who established the Wind magic tower and took office as the first green magic lord was the great mage, Zephys Glofus, who ate the Pungbi Flower and acquired enormous talent.
It is said that it was pure luck that Zephys Glofus discovered the fern flower, and it has a very special nature.
When a creature approaching nearby is detected, it scatters like the wind and disappears like an illusion.
Those who encountered Pungbihwa by chance saw the flowers shattering in front of them and were engulfed in grief.
In fact, the flower bouquet placed before Leon’s eyes was placed in a tightly sealed glass bottle, and even now, its petals are scattered and regrouped, maintaining a fantasy-like shape.
There are reports that it is often found due to such characteristics, but there is no record of success in taking it and taking it.
If you take the glass bottle containing this windbreak flower to the Wind magic tower and show it to them, they will pay billions of dollars to get it.
However, Leon didn’t have enough money yet, so he pulled the cork from the glass bottle without hesitation.
Then, the Pungbihwa immediately scattered in the wind and tried to disappear, but Leon, who already knew such a characteristic, was able to inhale the windblown Pungbihwa by plugging the mouth of the glass bottle.
Whoops!
It is a strange feeling as if your body is filled with cool wind.
As Leon raised his magic power, a wind made of light began to swirl around him.
‘This is the magic resonance of the wind attribute.’
Until now, the only magical resonance that Leon has dealt with was that of the fire attribute.
Magic Resonance was able to exert various powers for each attribute, but the magic attribute that had the best compatibility with Leon’s mental wave was fire.
However, Leon, who had consumed the rain boots, was now able to create wind attribute magical resonance.
Leon was able to return to the villa with a feeling of satisfaction, recalling the rewards he had obtained from this dungeon attack.
* * *
“thanks.”
A few days after attacking the direct dungeon, Aria, who had fully recovered, visited the villa of the Farostel family and bowed her head to Leon.
All the servants of the villa watching the scene had no choice but to open their eyes.
It was unbelievable that in the Rosbane family, a rivalry between the Farostel family and the mage family, that a genius who is also called Rothbane’s hope came to Leon and bowed her head.
A remarkable achievement that no one in the Farostel family has achieved in at least the last 100 years.
However, Leon responded indifferently.
“It wasn’t a big deal.”
“I heard that if I went to my doctor for a long time, I could lose my circle. So thank you.”
Leon suddenly looked into Arya’s face, who continued to say thanks in a cold tone.
She still had a cold, expressionless face, but soon after receiving Leon’s gaze, she could see her cheeks glowing.
Arya was dreaming with her eyes open at the time of the seizure.
Excessive oxygen rushed into the panicked brain, showing hallucinations.
In that dream, Arya was left alone in the middle of the snowy field.
A blizzard swept around her, and nothing could be seen, but a rabbit doll, a dog, a girl and a woman, all seen as silhouettes, were moving away from her.
I’m here, please save me, no matter how much I shout, no one finds her.
She couldn’t stand the blizzard that was raging around her.
At that moment, it was none other than Leon who came to Arya, who was trembling in fear of being left alone in a cold world.
It melted all the snow in the snowy field with the magical resonance of the warm sense she had once felt and hugged her softly.
At the time, I thought it was just a dream, but when Arya came to her senses, she was able to hear from the escorts how she received help.
She understands that she was forced to help herself, but when Arya realized that all the sights she had seen in her dream were real, she was embarrassed for some reason and could hardly make eye contact with Leon.
“So, you mean you came here to say thanks to the children of your rivals?”
“What is strange?”
Leon shook his head, thinking it was all right.
Still, Leon was looking for an opportunity to get away from the royal road for a while before entering the academy.
However, from the position of Leon, who is being watched by the Knights of Repulsion, he could not leave the royal road for no reason, so he was in trouble, but he thought that he could use Arya.
“But I think you came empty-handed?”
At those words, I could see Arya’s escorts raising their eyes.
As a courtesy, it was not easy for Arya to come to her first and bow her head like this.
Arya’s position in the Rothbane family did not make sense as she was defeated in a friendly match and taken care of in the Direct Dungeon.
In addition, no matter how much the person who saved his life, bowing his head to the illegitimate bastard of a rival family vying for power would never look good.
Naturally, the guards serving Arya opposed the death and ripped it off, but Arya was forced to say thank you, so she came to Leon like this.
Arya raised her hand to calm the excitement of those escorts and asked.
“Is there something you want?”
“Is November 11 your birthday?”
“…why do you know my birthday?”
“You don’t need to know that, invite me to your birthday party.”
“…is that the reward you are asking for?”
“okay.”
Arya was silent for a moment.
Leon’s request was very confusing.
Even so, it is common sense that a birthday party is a place to congratulate the person who is celebrating that birthday, not a place to entertain guests.
There was even a suspicion that Leon might have different feelings for him, but there was no sign of such a thing in Leon’s empty eyes.
At that moment, Arya somehow felt disappointed.
Perhaps the expectation that Leon might have in her heart was betrayed.
But Arya couldn’t understand why she felt that way, and she was just confused.
In the end, Arya chose a poker face.
He didn’t want to show other people the emotions he couldn’t understand himself, so he hardened his face and made a cold expression from the usual cold wind on his face.
“okay. Then see you again on your birthday. The invitation will be sent to you later.”
Leaving only those words, Arya hurriedly left the place as if running away.
Looking out the window at the back of Arya and her companions leaving, Alan, the old butler, opened her mouth as if worried.
“I don’t know what the master thinks.”
At first, Aylan thought of Leon as just a 10-year-old child, just like the children of an ordinary noble family.
But now, Aylando knew well that Leon was not just an ordinary child.
So it was even more confusing.
“Why did the master help Aria Young-ae in the first place?”
Arya is the hope of the Rothbane magic family, who are at odds with the Farostel magic family.
It may be a cold story, but if Arya had not been saved then, from the perspective of the Farostel family, it would have been an opportunity to eliminate their rivals without touching them.
Aylan didn’t think that Leon was young and didn’t know that.
At least for the past 7 months, the Leon he has watched has a personality that can never be considered a 10-year-old.
So, what was Leon thinking about helping Arya?
“Do I have to think of him only as a rival?”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
“Maybe I can have her as a companion.”
At those words, Aylan and the Knight Commander Isaac opened their eyes.
Tina was also there, but only she took Leon’s words for granted.
“…are you saying that you are going to have an Aryan girl called Rosbane’s Hope under Parostel?”
At Aylan’s words, Leon smirked.
Leon’s words do not mean that Arya will be placed under the Parostel family.
He said that he would put him next to Leon.
There was a deep emotional gap between them that could never be narrowed, but Aylan, an old butler who faithfully served the Parostel family, did not seem to feel any difference between the two.
He just had an expression on his face that was impressed with Leon’s will.
Because of the family’s interests, I couldn’t have imagined such a thing, but if Arya truly reveals her intention to follow Leon personally, the superiority of the two families will become clear.
But right now, Leon was not interested in Arya.
Of course, if she could recruit her as a colleague, there would be no other person as reliable as that, but it was entirely up to her whether she would become Leon’s partner or not.
On the other hand, Leon knew of one talent he could recruit if he had money.
The Witch of Condemnation.
The woman, who would later become the natural enemy of all wizards, was locked up in the slave market without knowing her worth.
The reason Leon insisted on inviting Arya Rossbane to invite her to a birthday party was to escape the royal capital and visit her as an excuse.
