How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

Chapter 92

The war memorial was a huge temple-style structure.

Originally, this was a land where only traces of the past war remained, but the viscount built a huge building in front of it.

If you enter through that place, you can see the traces of the great king of karst.

Through the perfect strategy, it has been able to successfully develop into a famous tourist destination.

“It’s quiet since it’s evening.”

“Yes. People usually gather at inns or bars at this time.”

John answered Leo’s question.

5pm.

Now that the entrance time for the War Memorial was all closed, there were only people coming out, but Leo and Celise were going now with the Viscount’s permission.

– John. Come and give me directions.

-Me, me?

-yes. I’ll have to say at least one more conversation with you on the way. If you see this later, it’s all an opportunity.

-ah… Okay.

At his father’s insistence, Yohan had no choice but to take on Leo’s guidance.

In my heart, I just wanted to rest in my room, but I couldn’t refuse my father’s order.

“The War Memorial must be very popular. Even after the deadline, I see people sparsely.”

“It is, but it is much less than in the past.”

“is it?”

“Yes. If you go in, you’ll know, but it’s good to come once or twice, but it’s not worth coming more than that. Since it has been almost 300 years since the memorial was created, the number of tourists is gradually decreasing.”

John said as if he was sorry.

It is said that the Viscount Bordens in their heyday earned much more money than they do now.

If that was the case even now, John, the third son, would have been able to inherit a considerable amount of money.

However, the territory became difficult now, and Yohan had no choice but to find a way to live on his own by training magic.

‘But why am I telling you this… ?’

John was startled.

It was a thought I used to think about often, so it came out without me noticing, but now that I think about it, it wasn’t something I would say to Prince Leo.

“I said something useless. sorry.”

“no. I didn’t know there was such a problem. Still, I’ll use my heart a little more carefully and live.”

“… Sorry. I am deeply reflecting on my work at the academy. When I see Sonia later, I will formally apologize again.”

John bowed his head.

Leo stared at the back of his head.

I don’t know if he’s apologizing because he’s fed up with himself, but lately, Yohan’s temper has gotten better.

Leo wanted to believe that Yohan had at least a little bit of self-reflection.

“yes. The guide is up to here. You’ve arrived now. You don’t have to wait, so go back.”

“Yes. Then I hope you have a good trip.”

Leo nodded and entered the war memorial with Celise.

* * *

The War Memorial of the Viscount Borden.

This was the place where the different races invaded during the war with the Abyss 300 years ago.

In a situation that could have turned into a mess if he made a mistake, the great king of Karst alone stopped the great army of the Abyss.

It is said that at that time, the great king fought day and night for a week.

“It is incredibly spacious.”

Leo looked around and said.

Celise answered.

“It’s because the area destroyed by the battle at that time was so large.”

Karst the Great blocked the large army of different races with the wall.

Traces of it remain even after 300 years.

The sunken floor and the ferociously torn ground seemed like a place where the wrath of a god had fallen.

“What kind of magic can you use to leave something like this?”

Leo said while touching the half-destroyed wall and the ground.

A mark hundreds of times greater than the Earthquake that Earl Guillotine showed.

It’s amazing that one person made this.

Leo said he’d been hearing a lot of genius lately, but he didn’t have the confidence to create a scene like this.

The two walked a little further inside.

After the broken wall and the ground, what appeared was the exhibition room.

There were items of knights and wizards who participated in the battle at the time, and at the end, there were clothes and accessories worn by King Karst.

Leo checked every nook and cranny, just in case.

No one would guard it anyway, so I carefully avoided the access prohibition badge and even investigated the inside.

I even projected mana to check if there was anything suspicious.

Unfortunately, there were no results.

“I don’t think there is anything special.”

“If there was such a thing, wouldn’t it have been retrieved from the royal family a long time ago?”

“That’s right.”

No matter how much the royal family allowed it to be made into a tourist destination, if there were valuable artifacts, they would never have placed them here.

Leo clicked his tongue in regret.

“It’s all just junk.”

“Isn’t it a place that has its own meaning?”

For the kingdoms, it was a truly meaningful place.

Because it was a place that symbolized the greatness of Karst.

However, the problem was that there were no clues that Leo was looking for.

“Let’s move on.”

After the junk area, again, like the first area, there was a large piece of land.

Likewise, the scars of war remained intact, with one difference being the presence of frozen ground in the middle.

“That’s the ice cap of King Karst.”

Celise said in an admiring tone.

perennial snow.

Snow that does not melt for 10,000 years.

As the saying goes, it must have been a land frozen by the magic that was spread 300 years ago, but that ice still hasn’t melted.

Even after the war, during the restoration project, they tried to melt it somehow, but there was no way to do it.

Even though they invited 5-6 class mages, it was a phenomenon that showed the greatness of Karst the Great, who was once again the great mage.

A light flashed in Leo’s silver eyes.

‘The ice crystal structure is too meticulous.’

His insight ability to face the structure of mana looked inside the ice cap.

The hexagonal lattice pattern was densely arranged, and it was full of protective magic as if it were coated on top.

‘It’s not offensive ice. It seems to be used to prevent or seal something from coming.’

If it wasn’t for that, there’s no way they’d be so overly defensive.

I could tell because it was Leo who had learned the same Frost Breath.

Leo moved while examining the space where the ice was.

Celise followed carefully behind him.

He was ready to reach out his hand at any time, in case Leo accidentally stepped on it and slipped.

“uh!?”

“Why are you doing that, my dear?”

“Is there an empty space down here?”

“Yes?”

Seeing the direction Leo was pointing, Celise tilted her head.

The ice was opaque, so the interior could not be seen through.

So it was indistinguishable from other frozen lands around it.

Leo reached out.

-ssss

Dozens of mana particles extended from his fingertips and stuck to the ice.

Ice that did not melt even with the fire magic of the 6th class wizard.

If you look at the defense, you can say it’s the best.

Of course, none of Leo’s offensive magic would be able to pierce it.

But this time, it wasn’t a simple attack.

Frost Breath is a magic that even Leo has mastered.

Although the structure was solid because it was ice that the king of karst had spread himself, Leo’s eyes caught the tiny cracks.

Carefully inserting mana particles into the gap, slowly opened the space.

-That’s it!

There was a sound like ice grinding, and little by little Leo’s mana penetrated inside.

A skill only available to Leo with mana control skills reaching the sky!

Beads of sweat formed on Leo’s forehead because it required repeating the microscopic process.

I poured my mental energy into one place to the point where I wondered if I had ever been so focused lately.

How much time did you spend on that?

-Kick!

Finally, Leo’s mana succeeded in widening the gap between the ice caps and completely digging into them.

– Damn it!

Structural formula of ice that begins to collapse from within.

The ice cap suddenly cracked, and then shattered.

It was only then that Leo let go of his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Whoa. It was hard.”

“I, low… !”

Celise looked at Leo with a shocked expression.

She knew how precious the ice at this war memorial was.

Not only historical value, but also traces of a great wizard that made the people of the kingdom proud.

it broke it

“How are you going to talk to the Viscount… .”

“It will work out somehow. By the way, look here, Celise.”

“?”

Celise’s eyes widened.

“Didn’t I say I felt like there was a space here?”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Just as he said, an open space appeared under the shattered ice.

“… … .”

Leo said with a triumphant expression on his face, but Celise couldn’t answer.

A war memorial where traces of the great king of Karst remain.

The discovery of a hidden space beneath it was a huge event that had to be dealt with at the national level.

“Let’s go down.”

“Lowering. It may be dangerous. Wouldn’t it be better to ask for support from the Viscount Borden?”

“And what if a secret that only we need to know comes out?”

“… If so, I will take the lead.”

Celise drew her sword and moved in front of Leo.

Leo smiled brightly.

“great. very supportive Let’s go down.”

Leo’s eyes lit up.

* * *

The space that came down after breaking the ice was deeper than I thought.

Since both Leo and Celise could handle mana freely, this level was easily reached.

With Celise arriving first, Leo landed next to him.

However, the ground was uneven and my ankle sprained.

Leo frowned.

‘Can’t I just jump this high?’

It was absurd.

Even a training knight who still had no mana could easily jump from this height.

However, Leo sprained his ankle even after using mana.

If I have to make an excuse, it’s because I’m not used to dealing with a body that has grown even more as a side effect of having grown incredibly tall in the past few months.

“Are you okay, my dear?”

“It’s fine. It’s a little crooked, so there’s no problem walking.”

“So, if you were carrying me, you would have come down comfortably… .”

“… … .”

Now that Leo is almost 170 cm tall, he wanted to stop being carried by Selize to hurt his pride.

“It’s okay, let’s go.”

Leo pointed forward.

“Yes. I will go slowly.”

With Celise leading the way, the two moved cautiously.

Leo lit up a light, but the inside was an ordinary cave.

I eagerly turned my head to see if there was something left by King Karst, but there was nothing special.

It was a moment when I was so cautious.
