It was Gilbert, the tower owner who led a school, but it was unreasonable for him to last long with Vivian, who was supported by Leo.
He resisted, continuously pulling out the outrageous demons from his body, but soon after, he was decapitated by a blade of wind and died.
“Sigh… .”
“How do you feel? You avenged yourself.”
“Well… It’s just okay now.”
Vivian shrugged.
Leo found a fist-sized pouch in the dead body.
It wasn’t just a pocket.
It was an artifact enchanted with subspace expansion magic.
“This guy. There were no valuables in the tower, but he was carrying them all.”
I still don’t know what’s inside, but this pouch alone was worth it.
This is because subspace pockets cannot be manufactured in this era.
“The storage area is also large… How much is in this?”
Leo, who was rummaging through the inside of his pocket, frowned.
All kinds of bizarre things were caught in his hand that he pulled out.
The devil’s horns, the heart of an unknown creature, the eyes and legs of a demon, etc.
“eww… .”
Vivian backed away as if seeing her upset her stomach.
Leo looked at Logan.
“Do you need this?”
“Um… Not my favorite ingredients, but there are a few worth using. If you give it to me, I will use it for later experiments.”
“yes.”
After roughly putting them aside and starting to rummage again, I found something useful this time.
It was a small piece of clothing.
Clothes, shoes, belts, gloves, etc.
Vivian opened her eyes wide.
“uh!? They are the treasures of our race!”
“this?”
Leo looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Because, in his eyes, there was nothing special about these items.
It seemed a bit old, but it didn’t hold magic.
“yes. These are the things the previous queens wore. Even if they do not have special abilities, they are precious things that have been passed down from generation to generation in our species.”
Leo nodded at Vivian’s words.
Rather than practical value, it is a shape of historical importance.
Other than that, there were gold coins, gold bars, or small black magic artifacts.
No matter how much gold there was, it was not enough, so Leo took care of it, but he gave Logan all the black magic artifacts that he could not even use.
And at the end, the thing he wanted came out.
‘finally… .’
Leo’s eyes lit up.
It was a black robe.
It was unusually shaped without a hat, and the robe was luxuriously decorated with gold thread.
‘I finally found it.’
It was the robe of King Karst that I saw in the game illustration.

“Lowering. How have you been?”
After the rough tidying up, Logan asked Leo.
“The troops who went to Hydra’s place have already returned a long time ago, but the servant didn’t even come. I didn’t expect to meet you out of nowhere in the West. To think that even the Fairy Queen is with you.”
“In other words, things are long.”
Leo shrugged.
“Looking at you, it makes me think that the story in the old children’s book wasn’t a lie.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Isn’t there a story about getting stronger with just breathing and having legendary friends around you?”
That’s how Logan sees Leo.
How long has it been since I haven’t seen you, but I’ve grown another level and reached the 5th class?
In addition, it was surprising to see the fairies, who are difficult to meet, and even talk to the queen as if they were friends.
“by the way… Did you stay at the 1st Queen’s Palace until now?”
“Yes. I was resting well because Her Highness the Queen treated me as a guest.”
“Then, do you know the atmosphere of the royal castle? For example, they are looking for me.”
“Of course I am looking for it. I don’t know the details, but they say that the King’s Highness or the Marquis of Merverde are waiting for when they will return.”
“… … .”
Leo touched his forehead.
I thought it would be like this, but when I heard it from the person in charge, my head hurt.
‘I can already imagine how nagging my father or the marquis will be.’
At least, it would be this much because he contacted Gawain from time to time to tell him not to worry because he is fine.
If there was no such thing, wouldn’t he have raised troops and chased after himself?
“Eh. things will work out. Logan, are you going back to the kingdom too?”
“Nope. While I’m here, I need to take care of the tower. I do a little research and experiments that I haven’t been able to do before.”
Thanks to Gilbert, Logan unexpectedly traveled a distance of more than a month round trip.
While I was here, I was thinking of taking care of the things I had been putting off.
“What about you?”
“I can’t return to the castle right away either. I need to go to the fairy forest and finish things up.”
“hahahaha. It’s a fairy forest. I’ve only seen it in old books, but it’s really amazing to actually go to such a place.”
Logan shrugged.
“Then, how about coming back with me later?”
“together?”
“Yes. I have something else to tell you.”
“Well, then.”
Leo nodded.
After that, Leo and his party stayed in the Medith School’s Black Tower for a day.
It was strange for the prince and the fairy queen to be with the warlocks, but the atmosphere in the School of Medith was good.
“The kids here don’t look very warlocks, do they?”
Of course, Vivian, who had thought it to be dirty and disgusting like the Grenoch School, was surprised to find that it was completely different from her thoughts.
Logan chuckled.
“Not all warlocks are like Gilbert. Rather, his Grenoch School is particularly filthy.”
There, the tower lord is the guy who uses his power by contracting with the devil.
Of course, the black magicians below did a lot of obscene things like human sacrifices and sacrifices.
On the other hand, Logan’s School of Medith is famous for being normal among many black towers in the west.
Thanks to that, I was able to rest comfortably.
Staying for a day, Vivian regained the power to open the teleport gate again.
“I’ll come back here later.”
“Yes. I’ll be waiting for you, lower.”
With Logan seeing off, Leo, Selize, and Vivian moved back to the fairy forest.
* * *
“Sup-ha. The air here is definitely different.”
“Is not it? There is no better place to live than our forest.”
When Leo reached the fairy forest and breathed in the fresh air, Vivian smiled.
It seems that the praise for the area where he lives feels good.
After a while, they went inside the town.
Then, he was greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the fairies.
“come! come!”
“It’s the queen!”
“There is also a great prince!”
“A pretty human too!!”
The fairies fluttered their little wings and flew around nonstop.
Vivian naturally took a few steps forward while being welcomed by the fairies.
Then she turned around and looked at Leo, smiling brightly and bowing her head politely.
“Leo. my dear friend Thank you so much for helping us fairies.”
At the same time, the fairies that were messing around around also stopped and bowed their heads in the same posture.
The sight of countless fairies bowing in unison seemed grand and sacred.
Leo tilted his head, wondering what he was doing all of a sudden.
“Vivian… ?”
“I wanted to formally say hello like this once.”
Vivian smiled as she returned to her original position.
“This is a etiquette passed down from generation to generation, which we fairies do when they have something to be thankful for.”
The solemn atmosphere from before was gone for a while, and the fairies flew around excitedly again.
Climbing into Leo’s robes, beating Celise’s hair, using her shoulders like slides… .
“So that’s what I mean. Leo, I want to repay you.”
“As a reward, this is enough.”
Leo shook the robe he was wearing.
Robe of Karst the Great.
This alone was worth coming here.
“Nope. I’m not at ease. have to give something So, the human mages love the things in our forest.”
“right.”
“I’ll take care of those things as much as possible.”
“Five.”
It was a pretty decent reward.
Vivian clapped her hands loudly once and commanded the fairies.
“Guys. Bring lots of things Leo will like from the forest.”
When the queen’s command came, the fairies moved quickly.
“Kyaaak! I’m going to bring you jellyfish herb!”
“I am with Crystals! It’s really delicious!”
“lol. I know where the moss mushrooms are!”
“Golden Honey is mine, so don’t touch it!”
As if competing to see who could bring more, the fairies giggled and disappeared into the forest.
After a while, all kinds of materials from the forest began to pile up around Leo.
Looking at the materials being piled higher than Leo’s own height, Leo smiled happily.
“hahahaha… .”
I’ll have to share it with Sonia later.
* * *
There were a lot of gifts from the fairies, but I didn’t have to worry about storing the ingredients because there was a subspace pouch.
After cleaning everything up, Leo started working in earnest.
Logan had to give him a little time to manage the tower and research magic, so it was leisurely.
“Gawain. How are you?”
– yes degradation. To be precise, I’m having a crazy day.
Gawain’s voice coming from beyond the crystal ball looked tired.
Of course, his intelligence organization has been spreading all over Hamtroy Kingdom lately.
As the chief, there seems to be little time to rest as there are so many things to take care of yourself.
“It’s a lot of trouble. Is there anything wrong or something that needs to be reported to me?”
-Yes. There were a few times when force was needed, but D.O handled it well each time.
“Because he’s a very useful guy.”
– Indeed, low.
Vampire Dio was really versatile.
Stealth, blood magic, combat abilities based on hardened bodies, and more.
None of them were great, but they were not bad all-rounders.
He was a perfect fit for Gawain’s intelligence organization, which had a lot to do.
Moreover, since he was with the Hydra when he defeated it, he was also covered with the Hydra’s blood.
Because of that, he became even stronger than before, and now he has become the second-in-command of the information organization both in name and reality.
-Oh. Come to think of it, there was a message from the Duchy of Ryant some time ago.
“suddenly?”
-Yes. The Duke asked me to tell him that he is looking for Mr. Leo, and if he knows the news.
“Hmm… .”
Duke Ryant would have known to some extent that Gawain’s information guild was related to Leo.
That’s probably why he contacted Gawain in search of Leo who had disappeared.
“Okay. Anything else?”
-Yes. yes lower.
“great. It will be difficult, but please continue to work hard.”
-It’s hard. Since you saved me, every day is fun and rewarding.
Gawain said in a voice full of joy, even though he was tired.
After cutting off communication, Leo went to see Celise.
She was having a good time, buried among the fairies.
“Selise.”
“Huh! My dear, are you here?”
“You can be comfortable.”
“I am comfortable with this.”
As soon as Leo arrives, Celise sits in a firm posture.
Leo said to her.
“I’m thinking of visiting the Duchy of Ryant one more time this time.”
I don’t know why the duke asked to see him, but since he’s the first sword in the kingdom and the highest ranking noble, there’s nothing wrong with meeting him.
Even the distance from Logan’s Black Tower was not too far, and it was a perfect course for a brief stop on the way to the royal castle.
But there is one problem.
Leo said with a serious expression.
“If I go this time, the duke will frantically try to trick me into becoming his disciple again, is that okay?”
It was clear that the man would turn a blind eye to Sellize, so it was necessary to ask her doctor once in a while.
