Barmoor was taken aback.
The reason he asked Leo about the dragon was because his secret was discovered.
No matter how thoughtlessly he came, it would hurt the pride of the Lycanthrope warchief to have his secret discovered by someone lesser than himself.
That’s why I was thinking of poking it, but I thought I was going to visit the previous warchief sooner or later.
“Okay, good. yes. Louis-nim probably won’t say anything, but she’s probably waiting anxiously for you.”
“I guess so.”
Leo nodded.
Once you reach the end of the 7th class, your life will be limited from then on.
Either jump over a class and become a transcendentalist, or lose your mind after going crazy and wander around as a ruler in the west.
Of course, no one wants to be such a monster.
Louis, too, must have been anxious every day.
“I can’t say I can handle it perfectly yet, but meeting them in person will be more helpful than practicing alone.”
“yes. Ask his doctor first, then schedule a date as soon as possible.”
“Then let me know now.”
Leo clapped his hand.
“The Succubus Clan joined hands with the Casein Guild?”
“hit. To be precise, it was a little bit of support from behind. So that the human world may be confused.”
“… You are crazy.”
“yes. It’s completely crazy.”
At Leo’s words, Barmoore nodded and agreed.
“I’ll tell you in advance, this is the decision of the succubus queen. None of us races in the Abyss want to go against the will of the world.”
A war that took place 300 years ago.
It was the five human heroes who led the war to victory.
After that, they signed a semi-permanent peace treaty.
It was a pact that prevented the humans and the different races of the Abyss from crossing each other’s territory.
Of course, it was possible to move in a way that a small number of people moved briefly.
However, if you move your troops properly and start a war, you will be punished by heaven and earth right away.
It is because all the 5 heroes of that time became transcendentalists and became members of the heavenly world.
‘If you think about it, it’s a one-sided treaty that’s beneficial to humans.’
I don’t know about 300 years ago, but the current humans are too weak.
Even if only one or two of the seven races of the Abyss appeared, it would be settled.
no. Honestly, it was like that even 300 years ago.
However, the 5 heroes were so strong that they led the war to victory.
‘The different races of the Abyss deserve to be angry.’
how frustrating would that be
To have enough power to be locked up in such an old pact.
“The queen of the succubus just became a new queen, so she is still young. He was only about 50 years old.”
“50 years old… Are you young?”
“You can’t think in terms of human standards. He is very young by our standards.”
At times like this, it was obvious that they were of a different race.
“Anyway, she intends to impose sanctions on our own. So far, I only applied a little bit of indirect support, so I thought I could do something that I didn’t have in moderation. Instead, I should warn you firmly.”
The Queen of Succubus was young and didn’t know the fear of the 5 Heroes in Heaven.
However, the long-lived heterogeneous races, including Barmoor.
Currently at the head of each race or serving as elders of the previous generation, they were keenly aware of how monsters the heroes were.
That’s why I never do anything to provoke them.
“If you take care of it yourself, then I won’t have to worry about it any more.”
“right.”
When Barmoor nodded confidently, Leo was also relieved.
‘I can alleviate the emperor’s worries.’
After stealing information from Denaparte, the emperor was surprised to hear of the connection between the Casein Guild and the different races.
He may have heard about the outrage from Bahelm, but the position of the emperor was to be careful in advance if there was a possibility of war.
If we fight now, humans will lose.
Until I was ready, I had to knock on the stone bridge and cross it.
“great. Let me tell His Majesty the Emperor that way. thank you for telling me.”
“What. I was fortunate that the human emperor found out that information. If the succubus queen had gone one step further, it would have been a disaster.”
Barmoor let out a sigh as if he had relieved himself.
“Then I’ll set a date, so let’s see each other soon.”
“All right.”
After saying that, Barmoor left.
* * *
Weeks passed.
During that time, Leo pondered his own enlightenment and took in the knowledge little by little.
An unknown bracelet that is a dragon artifact.
Thanks to the knowledge in my head, I found out that the name of this was ‘Golden Dragon Karmos’ Masterpiece’.
The Masterpiece Bracelet played a role in helping non-dragons to accept their knowledge.
Of course, it couldn’t be anyone, and he had to have the highest level of comprehension and mana affinity.
And on this whole continent, in that field, there was no one greater than Leo.
So, Leo accepted the knowledge little by little.
In the meantime, he did not neglect lectures at the academy.
No matter how basic something is, there is always something to be learned while teaching.
In addition, although he is lacking compared to Leo, the students of the academy are also students with great talent.
That’s why, little by little, there were people who could understand Leo’s knowledge and answer questions.
Of course, after going through the questioning session a few times, I started to look at Leo with even more monstrous eyes.
“professor. Are you going to eat?”
As I was walking down the academy hallway, a dark-haired beauty spoke to me.
It was Ailee, a friend of Olivia’s sister, who had helped her obtain this masterpiece bracelet.
“Yes.”
“If you don’t mind, I wanted to ask you to go out to dinner together… You look busy, hahahaha.”
Ailee looked behind Leo and smiled awkwardly.
A dozen or so students were walking after Leo.
Students with burning passion for learning in their eyes.
Leo shrugged.
“It’s difficult now, let’s do it together next time.”
“Yes. Olivi would love it too.”
Ailee nodded and left.
As she passed by, students from the Faculty of Magic looked bleakly.
“Now, do we have to keep even the kids from the engineering department in check as competitors for Professor Leo’s apprentice position?”
“Usually, I would have said it was nonsense, but… It could be because Professor Leo’s lectures are so unconventional.”
“under. It’s meaningless. Professor Leo is a temporary job, so he might be leaving soon.”
“but… . Professor, please stay. Then I would apply as a research student and study hard under him.”
“I want to work in his lab instead of following him around to listen to a word during lunch.”
The students who were jealous of Ailee at first sighed as if they had given up soon.
Hearing their words, Ailee put on a shocked expression.
‘You want to be a research student? Are they crazy?’
Do you want to enter the professor’s private laboratory?
It was half the same as wanting to be the professor’s minion and slave.
A life in which the present is mortgaged in exchange for a dream-like future.
It’s a position that all students avoid, but to say that you want to do that yourself.
‘Are these guys really the arrogant wizard undergraduate students?’
Even watching this, I couldn’t believe it.
Ailee stared blankly at the backs of them as they walked away for a while.
* * *
“Loui-sama says it’s ready.”
The time in the middle of the night lying down to sleep.
Barmoore slowly appeared in Leo’s room.
Leo, who was lying on the bed, frowned.
“Are lycanthropes always going around like this? Won’t you open the door?”
“… Not necessarily.”
Barmoor scratched his cheek.
In fact, because he was caught stealing by Leo last time, he deliberately went into hiding again.
Even with all the preparations!
The results seemed successful.
‘You didn’t notice at all until I came. whooping.’
he smiled inwardly.
yes. This is normal.
No matter how great a genius he was, it didn’t make sense for his secret to be exposed at a higher level.
“I think we can start as soon as you are ready.”
Barmoor said in a softer voice.
It was because I had recovered my pride that had been crushed last time.
Leo got out of bed and put on his robe.
“Then let’s go right now.”
“as soon as?”
“Yes. Aren’t you going to carry me on your back anyway like last time? If Barmoor-nim isn’t tired, there’s no need to go tomorrow.”
“That’s right.”
Barmoor nodded.
“good. Let’s go.”
Since last time, I knew that I would leave sooner or later, so I simply packed my things in advance.
Leo looked at Barmoor from behind as he strode ahead.
‘I must have eaten quite a bit of age. Totally a child, a child.’
He deliberately pretended not to know about Barmoor’s approach today.
As he reached the 6th rank and melted the knowledge of the dragon little by little, his ability to sense emotions and mana improved.
Combined with the ＜Eye to See Mana＞ trait, Leo’s sensitivity was greatly enhanced.
It was to the point where he was at a higher level and noticed the stealth of Barmoor, the warchief of a race specializing in stealth.
Even in this mansion, Leo has layered his own defensive magic circle.
Even if he couldn’t stop Barmoore, his presence was enough to be noticed in advance.
However, I had roughly noticed that he had been offended last time, so I deliberately pretended not to know.
“Then I’ll pick you up right away.”
“Whoops… greatness. yes. However much. Let’s make it easy for you.”
Barmoor seemed to be in a good mood, even saying something like service (?) and started with Leo on his back.
‘The price for pretending not to know is not bad.’
Feeling the comfortable ride, Leo smiled.
* * *
Barmoor’s speed was incredible.
Since the two of them moved together, there was nothing to worry about, so they crossed the meadow with a gale.
It was quite a distance to the small village where Louis lived, but we arrived in less than a few hours.
‘If I add a little exaggeration, can I compare it to the space movement Vivian uses?’
It felt like a jet was running on the ground.
In terms of physical ability alone, he was considered to be one of the strongest on the entire continent, except for Cheon Oe Cheon.
“Are you here?”
Lycanthrope Warchief Louie.
He was waiting for Leo in front of the house with eyes that could not hide his anticipation.
From the fact that he was out the door, I could tell how anxiously he had been waiting for this moment.
Leo simply said hello.
“Yes. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but it seems like a long time.”
“Right. I’ll stop greeting you here, and I’ll ask you directly. Are you able to handle dragon words?”
“It’s still only a little bit, but I think it will be useful for Louis-sama.”
“Oh oh… .”
Louie was thrilled with just that statement.
“It doesn’t matter at all. It was a daily routine for me to spend weeks in meditation trying to gain even the slightest insight. Any dragon words will be helpful.”
The current Louis was unable to meet anyone recklessly because he was immersed in meditation every day.
If you don’t do that, you never know when you’ll go crazy and become one of the rulers of the west.
The reason why it took so long to call Leo was because Barmoor had to wait until he had finished meditating stably.
In such a situation, even the smallest amount of help was very painful for him.
“then. Come in.”
Leo’s eyes twinkled.
‘Good. I’m going to test the dragon like this and get a clue to enter the 8th class.’
And just as Louis had waited for him, Leo had been waiting for this day for quite a long time too.
