How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

The cold wind feels cold.

It was cold enough to make your body tremble if you stayed still, but Leo felt rather hot.

There may be an effect that the heat of the battle that took place a while ago did not go away, but it was because of the magical power emitted by the magician in front of him.

Because he had deeply learned blood magic and fire magic, he could feel the blazing heat from magic alone.

Countess Hermery said, waving straight red hair that perfectly matched it.

“So did you achieve level 5?”

“… Yes?”

“this. You haven’t forgotten what you promised me, have you? We were supposed to meet again after reaching the 5th rank and learning the frost tracking technique.”

At her words, Leo suddenly came to his senses.

Apparently it was.

Countess Hermery was pursuing the cause of her bereaved husband.

Until now there was no hope, but Leo said there was a way.

Frost Tracing.

In fact, it was one of the visions of Breath of Frost that could be learned after the 5th rank.

The key point of the deal he made with her was to achieve the 5th rank.

“Well… Nope. Not yet.”

Leo shook his head.

was very lacking in time.

No matter how talented he was, it didn’t take a normal amount of time to get there.

“what. I thought it would.”

The Countess also nodded as if she had only said it once.

She also didn’t think that Leo would rise to the 5th rank in one year.

Leo asked.

“By the way, why is the countess here?”

“Are you going to ask the life saver like that?”

“Everyone has no choice but to do this when they meet the head of the Casein Guild.”

Even at Leo’s words, Countess Ermeri showed only a smirk.

“Do not worry. I didn’t come with that status today. I came as the official leader of the magic corps.”

“… Are you the leader of the magic corps?”

“Yes.”

what is this sound.

* * *

Thanks to Countess Ermeri, you can easily defeat Vampire Dio.

After asking her to save him, Leo moved to the fort.

What was waiting for him was Duke Lyant, who was looking at him with fearsome eyes.

“Lowering! I heard you were in great danger this time!”

he hastily approached

The duke had already received a report of what Leo had been through through other soldiers.

“It’s not another ordinary monster, but a vampire.”

He is a duke who knows how dangerous the alien race is.

If Leo had met a high-ranking vampire, he wouldn’t have lasted even a minute with his level 3 skills.

That’s why the duke was sending a worried look that didn’t go well with his muscular body.

“I am okay. I got there safely. Commander.”

Leo said, raising both arms as if he was not hurt.

Seeing that, Duke Ryant was relieved.

No matter how much Duke Ryant is a person whose body is ahead of his head, he can’t help but worry about the safety of the royal family.

The Duke brought Leo into his office and handed him a cup of tea.

“Whoa. I didn’t understand when I heard that it was a troublemaker, but now I think I understand.”

“Who told me that?”

Leo put on a disgruntled expression.

It’s a bunch of accidents.

It’s embarrassing to think of yourself, but your nicknames are only genius wizards and pretty boys from the future kingdom.

“His Highness the King said so.”

“… My father might think so.”

Leo gasped and licked his lips.

There were so many things that I did on my own, so it was justified.

Leo took a sip of the tea and asked.

“Rather than that, I have something to ask the commander.”

“You know what. Isn’t it about Countess Ermery, who came to support?”

Leo nodded his head at Duke Lyant’s nuance.

“Yes. Why is he here?”

“This is a support unit from the Empire.”

“Suddenly, the Empire sent support to our kingdom?”

“Yes. To be precise, reinforcements have been sent not only to the Kingdom of Rome, but also to all countries bordering the West.”

The bordering kingdoms were in trouble due to the monsters in the west.

The Empire was located inland, so there was no problem, but they couldn’t stand still as they always wanted to play the role of the leader of human kingdoms.

[The threat of monsters in various kingdoms is a threat to humanity. From our empire’s point of view, we can’t just stand still!]

Since it was an empire that wanted to exert a huge influence, it quickly dispatched troops to all kingdoms because it wanted the right time.

It wasn’t a show-off, but rather a selection of elite troops.

“But isn’t it still enough for someone like Countess Ermeri to come?”

Leo asked, stabbing himself to the core.

The duke was inwardly amazed.

To the extent that you know things like international dynamics and personal relationships at such a young age.

However, the duke did not show it outwardly.

The Duke of Lyant, who has been living with Leo for the past month, has learned how deep and mature he is.

So, naturally, I just answered.

“Of course, it’s unusual for a bigwig like Countess Hermery to come here. So I looked into it, and it turned out that there was a strong request from her. He said he wanted to go to the Roman Kingdom himself.”

“… okay. thank you for telling me.”

Leo swallowed a sigh that seemed to come out on his own and pressed his temples.

‘You really wanted to come here?’

One of the officers of the Casein Guild. An enemy witch who will rise to the guild leader in the future.

I don’t get along very well with Countess Ermeri.

By proposing a trade to her future villain, I thought I had recruited her as a half-mate.

However, apart from that, it is still difficult to face them face to face.

Because the memory of having a fight with her is still vivid.

That’s why when we meet again, I wanted to achieve at least rank 5 to learn frost tracking, or to achieve a level where I wouldn’t be pushed back even if I fought… .

I hope to see you sooner.

And there was another important problem.

‘She might hate it if she finds out that I made a separate deal with Logan, the Black Tower Lord.’

I am an executive of the notorious Casein Guild, but I am a woman who hates black magic.

It’s probably because she thinks black magic is involved in her husband’s death.

If you see Logan, you might immediately attack her personality.

‘And if she gets involved in finding and killing Charpeng, it’ll be troublesome.’

Leo’s goal is to kill the vampire prince Charpeng and obtain the blood serum.

The serum, which instantly gives immunity to curses and poisons when taken, is a very valuable elixir.

However, although it is at the level of elixir for Leo, it is a completely different story for Countess Ermeri, who has learned blood magic.

You can get a huge increase in mana as well as magical enlightenment.

A treasure of heaven that can raise her to the next level after reaching the 5th class… as.

‘My nose is a stone, but I can never pass it. cancer.’

Leo looked down at himself.

Serum is essential to protect this fragile body.

If your stamina is not good, but you get cursed or poisoned, you’re good! and die

“By the way, it worked out better. From now on, go with Countess Ermeri’s magic corps.”

“… Yes?”

Leo asked back at Duke Lyant’s sudden words.

what now… ?

“If it’s a lower talent, wouldn’t it be better to work with a wizard rather than a normal soldier as it stimulates each other?”

The eyes that could be seen through the lion’s mane-like hair were smiling wide.

Of course, that was unacceptable to Leo.

For now, you need to get as far away from her as possible.

“I… , Commander, is it really necessary? If it’s a magician, it’s also under the Commander’s command… .”

“I am well aware of the level of the mages under my command. There are a lot of ignorant knights following me, so wizards are definitely behind those from the empire.”

“… … .”

“And it’s a bit of a shame to leave the deterioration of not just normal monsters, but even alien races like vampires. An escort is also required, and in that respect, the magic corps with Countess Ermeri is the best choice.”

It was the right word.

Leo proved his skills and instead of being escorted, he wallowed with the soldiers on the front line.

However, since vampires appeared, they could not be left alone like now.

The duke had a determined expression, as if he would not accept any further objections.

In the end, Leo had to nod his head.

“… All right.”

“Good idea. Lowering.”

* * *

The sun was setting and darkness fell over the Duchy of Lyant.

It was an old moon today, so there was almost no moonlight.

Leo, wearing a robe in the middle of the night, moved cautiously.

The target was a prisoner of war camp.

It was also the place where the vampire Dio, who was captured during the day, was located.

Countess Ermery readily agreed to his request to hand over Leo.

– Hmm. I don’t know if you know it, but a vampire who has learned blood magic is a big help to me. Nonetheless, I am handing it over to you. You know?

-ha ha ha… . I will never forget and remember.

-That’s enough.

It was a regretful expression, but she seems to have judged Leo as more important.

‘Whoa. I’m grateful, but it’s difficult if the debt keeps piling up like this.’

Since she wasn’t a perfect colleague, wouldn’t it be a big deal if she suddenly asked for help with the casein guild?

‘I have to quickly reach the 5th rank.’

You will be able to get rid of this debt quickly if you do not lose to her in terms of skills and resolve your grudge.

After thinking about this and that, I quickly arrived at the camp.

– Kik.

Among the prisoner of war camps, Leo went into a solitary cell with a restraining magic circle engraved on it.

Vampire Dio opened his eyes at the sound of the door opening.

He looked at Leo and smiled.

“Khehehehe. Who is this? Isn’t that the little wizard I almost tore to death?”

Dio provoked Leo with his shiny eyes.

“I’m so sorry. If it wasn’t for that damn woman, I would have chewed you alive.”

“That must be very sad.”

Leo shrugged.

I’m not a kid, so there’s no way I’d fall for such a provocation.

Of course, the body is a child.

Perhaps feeling that none of his words were getting through, D.O. kept his mouth shut.

He only glared at Leo with angry eyes.

Leo chuckled.

“what. try more Weren’t you trying to provoke me into doing something? Did you try to release the restraints and ask them to stick together properly?”

“… … .”

“Looking at your expression, it looks like the answer is correct. But I’m not stupid, can I?”

If it was Kizan who was here, it might work.

Suddenly, I wondered if our two little boys in the castle were training hard.

I need to finish my work here quickly and go back.

Leo took the chair next to him and sat down in front of Dio.

“I have a question for you.”

Perhaps this guy is one of Charpen’s vampires.

The reason why Charpin came from the Vampire Kingdom in the east to this far west must have been because he was defeated in the road scramble, but that doesn’t mean that the famous prince could not have moved without a single subordinate.

“Just kill me, son. The woman who caught me before you came also came briefly, but I didn’t say a word. No matter what I do, I won’t solve your curiosity.”

Dio quickly turned his head.

It was an expression of intention that he would not care about any kind of torture.

Leo stared at him.

He also had no intention of opening D.O’s mouth as torture.

It’s not my taste, and there’s something better than the barbaric way.

It was the way only Leo could do it.

“Hmm. Loyalty is high and mouth is heavy. I haven’t heard that Garibaldi has a guy like you. I guess Charpin is doing better than I thought?”

“… … !?”

Dio’s eyes widened.

The prince who finally won the road battle.

One of the seven Grand Dukes of the Abyss, located at the peak of the alien races in the eastern part of the continent.

The current Vampire Lord, Garibaldi.

“you you… . how did you name it… ?”

When the name came out of Leo’s mouth, Dio made a shocked expression.

Leo shrugged.

“Is it just a name? I’ve been with him many times before.”

Where are you alone?

Even though it was only in the game, he even met and killed him in person.

“… … !”

D.O was surprised and looked at Leo with his mouth open as if his jaw was about to fall out.
