“I’ll let you enter the warehouse one more time. Pick another one!”
When he heard the emperor’s words, Leo was uncommonly taken aback.
‘No what… .’
It’s not even a convenience store 1+1 event, it lets you enter the Venus warehouse one more time?
does this make sense?
Unknowingly, Leo looked at the nobles around him.
They are nobles who looked at themselves with eyes that they did not like from the beginning.
It was like that just by visiting the Venus warehouse once, but what would happen if you went again?
No matter how much the emperor’s power is indiscriminate right now, he doesn’t know when he will seize.
This was such a shocking statement.
But… .
“Ugh. One more warehouse… . In principle, this is not possible.”
“But it’s also something you can’t just oppose to such a great person.”
“From the Venusian warehouse where so many treasures exist, to bring His legacy just because you respect His Majesty the First… Heh heh true.”
The old nobles were looking at Leo with very favorable eyes.
The older you get, the more important traditions and examples become.
From their point of view, it was not an ordinary thing for them to go all the way to the Venus warehouse and bring the unknown inheritance of the first emperor.
‘Did you say you’re 12 now?’
‘It’s much better than my grandchildren.’
‘hahahaha. How can you have such a mindset at that age… I want to ask my son, who is over 30 years old, to teach me.’
He personally showed respect and honor for the empire.
That’s how the Emperor and the old nobles completely opened their hearts to Leo.
‘Well… .’
Of course, Leo slightly avoided the emperor’s gaze.
The legacy of the first emperor looks very useless on the surface.
That’s why it was much better to make an excuse than to explain the reason why I brought this out.
‘I didn’t mean to, but… .’
of course.
If you give me another one, of course I will gladly accept it.
* * *
Leo came back into the Venus warehouse.
“I never expected to come back here like this.”
I wanted to come back someday.
Because there were not one or two coveted treasures in this place.
However, in order to do so, a big ball had to be built.
It is Leo who qualified for entry by playing a decisive role in sweeping out the Casein Guild and defeating the trash nobles.
I expected that it would take quite a while to build up that feat again.
By the way… .
“what. Good is good.”
Leo focused on the items inside the warehouse.
Unlike before, this time I was thinking of taking a closer look at the second floor.
Since he took the pills he had picked up from the dragon’s ruins, he had to take what he needed the most.
‘But what should I bring?’
After checking the third floor once more, I also went around the second floor, which I hadn’t seen before.
A cloak that brings out the magician’s abilities to the maximum, a necklace that memorizes up to 5 magics of 7th class or lower, and an energy stone that raises attribute affinity…
There were too many eye-opening treasures.
What other types of elixirs are there?
‘Oh my gosh. Is there a Thunderbird hack?’
Thunderbird is said to evolve when a spiritual creature is struck by lightning more than 10,000 times. I thought even that core would be here.
If a magician or a swordsman who handles the power of lightning takes it, it is an item that will have rare abilities.
If you bring it to Olivia-noona right away, you’ll see a tremendous improvement in your skills.
The hydra core that Leo captured in the past was at the level of the 1st floor, and the ones on the 2nd and 3rd floors were amazing.
That made me even more worried.
‘What to do with this… .’
Leo thought of three directions.
one to have one’s own.
It is to drink the elixir that will increase the amount of mana that is currently lacking.
If the amount of mana increases, someday you will get enlightenment and jump over the stage, even if it’s a little bit of support.
‘Or you can help Elise-sister or Olivia-sister.’
These two are the most likely geniuses Leo has ever seen.
What would happen if you gave Ellis the ring of Gerang on the 3rd floor, or Olivia the core of the Thunderbird you saw earlier?
I don’t know, but it will play a big role in helping them succeed.
There is a limit to what one person can do.
Even though we only have two hands, humans are inherently cooperative animals.
“… … .”
However, Leo’s gaze turned to his elixir.
Yearning flashed in his eyes.
Prince Bahelm, the lycanthrope warchief, and even the former warchief.
He met many mages who had recently risen to the 7th rank and martial artists comparable to him.
Monsters that the current Leo would not be able to deal with even for a minute.
‘I want to go up there too.’
Even now, it was a growth trend that will remain in history, but people always look up.
He wanted to chase those who were ahead of him as soon as possible.
It was like that originally, but seeing a lot of people like that recently, my desire to become stronger grew even more.
In addition, he must also get rid of this infamous heavenly punishment that is strangling his body.
Right now, the state of the archmage was urgent.
“Sigh… . no. objectively. We need to decide in a way that will help us as much as possible.”
Leo sighed and tried to keep his cool.
like that.
Among all the artifacts and elixirs, Leo made a decision after agonizing over it for 12 hours.
* * *
“… … .”
Returning to his mansion, Leo was lost in thought.
Is this really a good thing?
There were two objects on the table.
One is the legacy that the first emperor saved from the remains of the dragon.
The other was a red elixir that made my heart thump just by looking at it.
[Heart of Behemoth]
is the name of this elixir
The lord of the sea and one of the giant monsters.
There is a difference between land and sea, but Hyde is the strongest monster to win if you face it without risk.
He was a guy whose body size alone exceeded 500m, and it was an elixir made from the heart of such a guy.
He has a heart as big as a house, but I don’t know how to process it to make it this small.
Still, since it was made by the best alchemist in the empire, the effect would be certain.
‘Come to think of it, I don’t know if Sonia is doing well.’
She should quickly become a great alchemist, and quickly make an elixir for me.
After getting rid of this and that thought, Leo swallowed the elixir in one go.
The heart of the Behemoth that gulps down the esophagus.
Immediately, I felt my internal organs burning and my body became hot.
“Suck!”
Leo widened his eyes.
Enormous mana wriggled from inside the ship.
This elixir is the compressed core of a giant monster hundreds of meters tall.
One individual will not be able to handle it, and the body will explode.
– Ugh!
The sense of crisis in the body suddenly surged with willpower.
Cheonju (天柱).
A pillar piercing the sky was formed.
It is God who enables the human body to handle the enormous power that shakes nature.
The power of the Heavenly Lord began to control the huge elixir.
Enormous mana dwelled in the Pillar of Will.
A pillar of willpower that grows stronger and thicker.
Leo sat still and breathed as if meditating for hours.
body, willpower, mana.
These three things interlocked to form the three primary colors.
After a while.
Leo widened his eyes.
A spark of light flashed in his silver eyes.
The energy emanating from his body filled the inside of the mansion and then was sucked in again.
“Sigh… .”
I let out a breath I had been holding back.
“It’s tough, this.”
The exhilaration that still lingers on made me feel as if I had inhaled a drug.
Of course, I’ve never taken drugs.
Leo put his hand on his belly.
The mana wriggling inside his body, he couldn’t feel any lack of mana at all.
On the contrary, it was too rich even if it was rich.
He was so confident that if he faced Denaparte, who was the head of the Kesane guild, again, he would win.
‘And… I have to eat that too now.’
With a hazy mind, Leo averted his gaze.
It was a moment when it seemed like something was going to happen now that he was in ecstasy as he rose a little.
Leo also swallowed the sweet pill of inheriting the first emperor.
As soon as it goes down the throat, it is gently released.
‘ah… .’
Leo raised his eyes.
The dragon’s knowledge that had been gathered in his head was melting.
The knowledge he had only acquired but did not know was reorganized to suit Leo’s level.
In addition, the bracelet she was still wearing on her wrist gleamed.
The dragon’s head on the bracelet vibrates, acting as a buffer so that Leo can accept the knowledge.
-In the basement of the drafting academy, there is an artifact that allows different races to handle the power of dragon words to some extent.
What Louis, the former warchief, had said was true.
Leo closed his eyes and frantically coveted the knowledge that filled his brain.
* * *
Leo hid in the mansion for a few days.
The students who were waiting for his lecture were naturally upset.
I was eagerly waiting for Professor Leo’s special lecture, but he suddenly didn’t come out!
Some of the students who were worried that he might be sick came to visit Leo.
However, Leo, who is absorbing the dragon’s knowledge, refused all visits.
I didn’t have time to spend on that now.
However, there was a visit that even Leo could not refuse.
He, who was still indulging in knowledge in his room today, opened his eyes.
Looking around the corner of the room, he murmured.
“Come out.”
At first glance, nothing was there.
However, Leo spoke with confidence.
“Barmoor. It’s no fun.”
“… … .”
Only then did a person appear from within, as if removing a space.
A different race with gray hair.
‘Do you notice this?’
Lycanthrope warchief Barmoore was startled inside.
The last time we met, it was Leo who hadn’t even guessed about his hiding place.
But now, even if it’s subtle, he’s detecting his presence.
‘Did I become stronger in that short amount of time?’
Barmoor, who has been called a genius countless times since he was a child, but this was a speed that even he could not understand.
Confused or not, Leo opened his mouth.
“Why are you here?”
It was a voice that was a little annoyed at being interrupted.
“… I came today because of the investigation you requested.”
As the Emperor subdued the Casein Guild, he noticed that they had teamed up with some of the different races.
When Leo heard that, he entrusted Balmoor to investigate him.
Barmoor came to tell me about it.
“Hmm. Before that, ask me one thing. What happened to the previous warchief’s request?”
“I think I will be able to use the dragon sooner or later. I was going to contact you sooner or later, but you came at the right time.”
“… … !”
Barmoor opened his eyes wide.
Was this just a question?
“already… Will that work?”
