Magical Genius With Quantum Magic

Attackers Guild

Leon, who came out of the jewelry store with the 10 gold and 40 silver he had obtained from selling the Manastone, fell into thoughts for a moment.

He needed some time to organize his thoughts about what had just happened to the jeweler.

In fact, Leon knows how he looks to others.

Rather than being the eldest son of an aristocratic family, he is a timid little boy who is likely to hang out in the alleyways.

Of course, it is an appearance that can only be looked down on by others.

That is why Leon wore only his shoes out of the three artifacts he stole from Silen, and put the other two artifacts in his pocket and put them out of sight.

It was also the idea that, at best, an 8-year-old child would have only to argue with expensive things hanging around.

But now, for Leon, rather than a bastard who threatens his identity and extorts money, it is true that he is more wary of scammers who openly cut their noses in front of him with his eyes wide open.

Even if he really thought the bastards were going to rip him off and dragged him into the alley, Leon was confident that he would get out of there.

After finishing his thoughts, Leon immediately went to a nearby clothing store and bought a robe that could cover his body.

Although it is impossible to deceive the small body and young age, he decided that it would be better for Leon to at least hide his sloppy clothes and hide his identity.

It’s unlikely, but just in case you’re walking down the street, you might run into a family servant.

Leon’s situation was difficult if they even recognized Leon’s face.

He took out the accessories he had hidden in his pocket and put it on his body.

One is a bracelet-type artifact that can deploy the defensive magic ‘Magic Shield’, and the other is a brooch-type artifact that strengthens the physical structure of leather or cloth to enhance strength while maintaining good bending properties to make everyday clothes look like sheet metal armor. It was a permanent artifact.

The brooch is attached to the robe to strengthen it to block cold weapons and magical projectiles like body armor.

But Leon’s wearing it wasn’t just for protection.

The reason that the owner of the jeweler looked down on Leon was that Leon’s appearance was comfy no matter who looked at him.

However, after that, the sloppy outfit is covered with a robe, and an expensive bracelet that anyone can see on the revealing wrist and a brooch that looks like a brag on the chest of the robe causes incongruity with Leon’s small body.

To those who are trying to determine Leon’s identity, Leon will look like a nobleman who secretly went out on a street outing.

Of course, as Leon was also the illegitimate son of the Marquis Parostel family, it was not a big mistake, but at least for the current Leon, he could not naturally create such an atmosphere without deliberately making up and directing himself.

The effect was immediately confirmed at the pharmacy I visited.

little girl.

The pharmacist, who was dozing off at the sound of the door being opened, looked at Leon with his eyes less awake, and jumped up to welcome him.

“Hey, guest! How can I help you!”

No matter how much he thought about it, Leon couldn’t help but laugh at the attitude that was so different from the jeweler’s owner he had just experienced.

“The patient complains of dry cough, headache, and lethargy. As far as I know, the disease has been going on for five years, and in the winter when the weather gets colder, it is accompanied by a fever.”

“Oh my God, why did you have such a terrible disease!”

The pharmacist accepted it as if he was really sorry and opened his mouth carefully.

“Perhaps it looks like chronic pneumonia, but the best way to make a definitive diagnosis is to see the patient in person. So, by the way, can we not see the patient?”

“It seems difficult for some reason.”

It was never easy to jump over the high wall with this small body and get out by myself.

It was impossible, at least for now, to come out with her mother in her arms.

Fortunately, the pharmacist didn’t delve too deeply into that.

The pharmacist already knew that the brooch on Leon’s robe was the ‘Daily Protector’, a permanent protection artifact, and assumed him to be the son of a noble family.

As a pharmacist for many years, he had dealt with many customers, and he understood well that curiosity is poison when dealing with nobles.

“Then I will have no choice but to try various drugs.”

Instead, he suggested the best method within the given conditions.

“The causes of pneumonia vary, but if it is chronic pneumonia lasting five years, we can rule out some conditions. Among them, we will prepare some medicines for the most common conditions. In addition to that, the fact that you only have a fever in the winter when the weather gets colder is presumed to be because your immune system is low, so I will add some medicinal herbs with a warm nature.”

“How much will it cost?”

To Leon’s question, the pharmacist counted his fingers and answered.

“I don’t know which drug will be effective yet, but I think it will come out roughly 2 gold a month.”

Leon nodded at that.

It was a higher price than I thought, but it didn’t matter how much money it cost as long as it could cure my mother’s illness.

“Then I will prepare the medicine from now on. You can come back at this time tomorrow.”

Leon, who heard the pharmacist’s answer, left the drugstore and then found the Temple of Water.

The pharmacist said he would prepare various drugs suitable for the condition he heard from Leon, but in fact, the most effective treatment for pneumonia was holy water with divine power.

The Temple of Water was a religious organization dedicated to the goddess of the sea, Primiti.

In this world, the Radiant Continent, there were seven gods praised as the Seven Gods, and the most active religious group among them was the Water Temple.

It is also true that Primiti, the goddess of the sea, was not only a god in control of ‘water’ but also a god in control of ‘life’.

According to the myths of the heavens recorded in their Bibles, in the beginning, the human world was a barren, lifeless land, where the earth and the sea divided and gave birth to life.

According to what was known during the binary archetype, the most likely hypothesis for the origin of life on Earth was that the organic layer produced by the catalytic action of pyrite around the deep-sea hydrothermal vents evolved into early cells.

A hydrothermal vent is a place where water heated by the heat of the Earth’s interior is ejected from the crust beneath the sea.

To translate this into a myth, it was quite a plausible story that the earth gave birth to life by spewing energy into the sea.

In any case, the most basic conditions must be met in order for the early cells thus born to evolve into the present animals and plants.

Cells that are mere substances are constantly dividing, combining, and sharing roles.

Leon recognized that Primiti, the goddess of the sea, was the god who programmed the functions of those cells.

And just like the hypothesis, the effect of holy water containing the power of Primiti was simple.

It was the recovery of wounds, or, more clearly, the acceleration of cell division.

It is the magical power given to water by the power of the gods to rapidly differentiate the cells of the damaged area.

Naturally, it was treated as a kind of panacea because it was effective for injuries such as trauma, bleeding, and fractures, and boosted metabolism and strengthened immunity.

As it was a denomination that produced such miracle water, it was able to show its authority throughout the continent.

the problem is,

“The lowest level holy water? Just give me 1 gold.”

The point is that holy water is treated as a kind of medicine that monopolizes the water temple.

The recovery ability of potions produced by alchemy was only dependent on the effect of holy water.

Other than that, the drugs used were only nutrients to support the effect.

When creating new cells by accelerating metabolism, it is possible to create intact cells even with the power of magical and divine powers, but more effective performance could be expected if the nutrients to create those cells were supplemented with medicinal materials. .

Around the age of 16, when Leon was rolling on the battlefield, there was a recovery potion made of only medicinal herbs that did not contain even a drop of holy water, called a pure potion.

Because the holy water, which was monopolized by the temple of water, was not used, the price of the potion fell, and the potion’s efficacy increased, which had the effect of significantly reducing the number of victims on the battlefield, which was praised by the soldiers.

But again, the potion appeared when Leon reached the age of 16.

Now that Leon is 8 years old, something that will appear 8 more years from now.

Of course, there was no way to save it at this point.

‘lack of money.’

10 gold is a huge amount of money that an ordinary soldier has to accumulate for almost two years.

So I thought that there would be no shortage of money for a while.

‘Even the lowest level holy water is so expensive.’

Since the lower level potion was a recovery potion with medicinal herbs added to the lowest level holy water, the effect of the lowest level holy water would be less than that of a lower level potion.

Now, he had 10 gold in his hand, but this was not money that could be used carelessly.

The family’s guaranteed supply to Leon in the future is one E-grade manastone worth 1 gold and 30 silver.

In comparison, if Riel’s monthly treatment cost was 2 gold, it meant that the family’s supplies alone would not be enough.

The 10 gold he had now had to be left as an emergency fund to make up for the shortfall.

In the end, Leon had no choice but to return to the attic where Riel was waiting with only a bottle of holy water in his hand.

Collok!

There, Riel was still coughing with a blanket covered in a helpless look.

“mother. Get up and drink this.”

Leon woke up Riel and poured a sip of holy water into his mouth, and after drinking it, Riel quickly found stability.

Although it was expensive, the effect of holy water was certain.

Watching that, Leon was able to make up his mind.

‘Let’s make money.’

There were several ways.

However, one of the easiest and fastest ways to make money is probably one of them.

This world has already been at war with the demon realm for 100 years.

The battlefield on which Leon rolled before his return was also a war to protect his succession against the numerous demons that invaded through the dimensional rift and the demons who led them.

The demons had already devoured the southern tip of the Radiant Continent for a long time, and from there they gradually expanded their territory and invaded the human world.

However, wars did not always take place on borders.

The most stolen land was the southern tip of the continent, but the dimensional rifts that were used to invade the human world from the demon realm were springing up from all over the continent and pouring out monsters.

If it was the national soldiers to block the demonic raids at the border, the dimensional rifts and dungeons that sprang up one after another in each territory were being protected by adventurers called raiders.

However, this did not mean that the attackers had a great cause, risking their lives to protect the territory from monsters.

The heavenly realm, a force that is hostile to the demon realm, would reward them if they attacked the dungeon corresponding to their outpost in response to the demon realm that began to invade the human realm.

The by-products and magic stones that come out of killing monsters are also money, but in addition to rewards from heaven, it was an opportunity to secure a share if you were sure of your skills.

The next morning, when the sun came up, Leon once again crossed the wall and moved to the outskirts of the territory.

There is bound to be darkness in any realm.

And to give that darkness a name, it would probably be a slum.

It was no different from the plesis, the territory ruled by the Marquise of Parostel.

The closer they get to Yeongjuseong, the center of the territory, the brighter the faces of the residents are, and the more prosperous they are, but even a little bit away from there, naked refugees are lying on the roadside begging for money, orphans without parents committing pickpockets, and drinkers who almost live in bars. There were voices fighting amongst the fields, and prostitutes who were flirting with men on the street to somehow make a living.

Commonly referred to as the poor people of the slums.

And among them, the most conspicuous were the attackers armed with thick armor and weapons.

Among them, they were the typical ghetto people who walked around naked with only a single weapon hanging around their waist, those who smelled sour because they had been drinking too much, and who had a prostitute on their side and laughed wildly. It was also familiar to

Soldiers living only today, as if there was no tomorrow.

Or it was a kind of dangerous body odor that can only be felt from animals wandering the battlefield.

It was the status based on the lineage that ruled this world, but in the end, the power to maintain the status system was force, so the beasts who live only by their own abilities ignore the rule of law and live.

They only bite when someone threatens their own safety.

In such an atmosphere, only Leon was walking the streets of the slums, separated from each other as if floating.

A young boy, who appeared to be the son of a noble family with high stature, was walking alone in the slum without an escort.

Soon after, Leon opened the door and entered the building of the attackers guild, which was located in the deepest part of the slum.
