“Nonsense.”
“Is this a duel between wizards who haven’t even reached the 6th circle yet?”
“Is the Yongin really different?”
“But, what happened to the closet? How did you suddenly have a magical resonance…?”
Those who watched the duel between Leon and Closet could not help but be astonished.
Undoubtedly, Leon and Closet’s fighting abilities were far beyond what they had imagined.
Now, all of Leon’s upper ranks are children of 6 circles or higher.
Among them, the 4th, 5th, and 6th children had the status of the 6th circle, but none of them competed with Leon for male or female and it was difficult to guarantee victory.
If you reached that level at the age of only 11, how fast do you plan to grow in the future?
When Leon glanced at them, they all shut their mouths for a moment.
Cold sweat runs down my back.
Leon smirked at their reaction.
On the other hand, Leon’s concerns were no different.
‘Should I reveal the fact that the closet was mine?’
However, in the first place, it is a rumor that is close to superstition.
Since no one could prove their existence, calling someone a ‘Main’ had no choice but to be a witch hunt.
However, it would be nice if it was really a demon, otherwise, the attitude of creating innocent victims with a barbaric attitude is deserving of criticism.
In particular, the reason why witch-hunting was possible in the history of the earth was because it was a form of persecution of the socially weak by the socially strong.
If witches existed on Earth and had absolute power in their hands, would the witch hunt be successful?
Leon shook his head inwardly.
As such, the witches and demons here possessed absolute power.
Closett also has a higher status.
The fact that Closett’s magic ability suddenly jumped twice or three times was doubtful, but even if Leon used it as a basis, the Farostel family had no choice but to deny it.
Is it true that a demon who worships a demon comes out of his own family?
Because everyone wants to deny it.
But before Leon could judge him, a pillar of light fell from the sky.
Whoa, whoa, whoa——!
Leon was forced to retreat in a hurry due to the enormous heat energy emitted from the pillar of light, and the closet, which had become an idiot in the place where the light was poured, evaporated without a trace.
Leon lifted his head and looked at the master who developed the magic.
Mellit Flare Farostel.
Leon’s father and Closett’s father.
“Why did you keep your opponent alive?”
“Why?”
“Did you notice that your opponent is a magician who uses unusual tricks?”
Leon closed his mouth.
Indeed, he seemed to have noticed.
“I heard that it is taboo to take your opponent’s life in a duel for succession.”
“But it’s a different story if the opponent is Mine.”
And he looked at Leon with a meaningful expression.
It felt as if the whole world was weighing down on Leon.
The spirit wave, the soul material Rielon, took shape and applied psychological pressure.
“It’s no different for you.”
did you hear it?
Leon took the horn of the closet and plundered the power of the demon?
He doubted that, but he just looked at Leon for a while and didn’t do anything more.
Instead, he speaks to those who are shocked by Closett’s death.
“Closet was a demon who served the god of the demon realm. I will not question the attitude of chasing power and using any means to obtain it. However, if there is a possibility that the reputation of our Parostel magic family will be tarnished, I will never allow it.”
At those words, Leon let out a sullen laugh.
His words were simple.
As long as you can become strong, you can serve a demon.
But don’t get caught.
That was the meaning of the Marquis of Parostel.
After such a tumultuous duel, Leon was officially able to rise to the 7th place in the line of succession to the Marquis Parostel family.
* * *
“insect! Our Hwarang Magic Division has been commissioned exclusively by Master Leon! I will serve you with all my heart in the future.”
“insect!”
““Chuwoong!””
This time, Leon was ranked 7th in the succession line, and they were the new servants of Leon.
Strictly speaking, it was difficult to say that the Iron Knights were Leon’s servants as the guards assigned to them by the family to protect Leon and Riel.
Of course, due to the relationship of trust that has been built up over the years, the Knights of Cheol Eung are also Leon’s servants.
However, while the Cheol-Eung Knights were made up of knights from commoners despite their excellent skills, the Hwarang Magicians were all regular wizards with noble bloodlines.
Sorcerer (魔法師) means one who uses magic,
Sorcerer (魔法士), which means the title of using magic, has a completely different meaning.
All the Hwarang Magicians had graduated from the academy and formally obtained the title of wizard.
But they could never underestimate Leon as a bastard.
A child of the Marquise of Parostel, whom they swore to serve.
At the age of 11, he was placed in the 7th place in the succession line, and the possibility of growth was limitless.
Leon was growing his presence within the family as a dark horse who could easily rise to the top at any time if he served well.
Their spirited appearance is probably for that reason.
But, ironically, in Leon’s eyes, their skills were poor.
Compared to the Knights of Repentance, which consisted of at least 7 to 9 stars, the Wizards with no 6-circle wizards were nothing but bright apricots.
But Leon wasn’t worried.
In this way, Leon was able to lead 11 new servants and return to the royal capital.
Summer vacation is over.
And Leon’s dormitory was also changed.
From the general dormitory to the most luxurious dormitory in the special building.
He succeeded in taking the first place in the whole school with the results of the first semester final exam.
In the process, the biggest problem was how the scores of the cannabis battle group task were handled, but it seemed that he couldn’t give Leon, who even gave him a medal, because he couldn’t ‘cooperate with the teammates’.
Once that was fixed, the rest was simple.
Leon’s practical skills are at a level that only hurts his mouth, and Leon’s memorization skills were proven by Lee Won-hyung’s record, who was nominated for a Nobel Prize.
And Leon went to see Angelica.
“Angelica, won’t you be my servant?”
“yes. I will.”
“…so simple?”
Leon had a hard time coming up with the words, but Angelica accepted them as if they were waiting for them.
In fact, what Angelica was waiting for was not her servant, but something else.
So Angelica joined the 12th member of the Hwarang Magic Division, and Leon began a plan to reinforce the fighting capabilities of the Hwarang Magic Division.
Seven minor engineers dispatched from the mining city of Aios.
I was planning to use them to print artifacts and arm the Hwarang Magician Division.
Leon first ordered them to make ordinary weapons.
First of all, it was a matter of assessing the level of skill of the miners, and like their reputation, there was a surprising part in the skill of the miners.
What stood out the most was the alloy technology.
It was excellent in the ability to mine pure minerals using microorganisms living in the rumen and to create new metals by mixing metals of the correct weight.
The average lifespan of a miner is 800 years.
Among them, the skills of the blacksmiths, who said that they had been hammering iron for half of their lives, were also excellent enough to make a sword in a single day, and the quality was as good as the masterpieces that humans barely made after spending a month.
However, that ability was limited to ‘metal’.
It was natural.
No matter how much they nurtured in their stomach microorganisms that deal with not only metal oxides but also inorganic compounds, they could not give orders directly to those microorganisms.
That was the reason why Leon dared to accept Angelica as the 12th member of the Hwarang Magician Division.
“Angelica. Can you make a slime eat the microbes in the miners’ stomachs and mimic their abilities?”
“I’ll give it a try.”
Thus, Angelica’s slime had acquired the ability to decompose and handle metal oxides and inorganic compounds.
The material that Leon was trying to create with that ability was a material that existed only in theory.
The most powerful material discovered in modern science is carbon nanotube.
A high-molecular allotrope of carbon, in which carbon is bonded in a hexagonal honeycomb shape to form a column.
Its tensile strength and modulus are hundreds of times that of steel.
In addition, it was known that excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, flexibility, and even electrodynamic properties have the potential to be used as artificial muscles.
It’s like a real magical substance.
What Leon was trying to make was a real magical substance with the chemical structure of such carbon nanotubes.
A material with high flexibility that can be made into clothes like textiles, and at the same time is hundreds of times stronger than steel.
However, the material composed of nanotubes and nano-scale columns was causing problems in its utilization.
But what if there is an entity that can manipulate the matter atom by atom?
What if nano-scale microbes could intentionally synthesize materials at will?
Leon threw the magic stone at the slime.
Manastones are soul substances that are chemically combined with the souls of monsters.
Using the chemical properties, Leon was thinking of breaking the crystal structure of the magic stone and reprocessing it in the form of nanotubes.
The problem was that the shape of the nanotube was not as easy as it sounds.
Like the name of carbon nanotube, modern science predicted that the carbon allotrope in the form of a hexagonal honeycomb was rolled up to form a tube, but the truth is that graphene, a carbon allotrope with a two-dimensional planar structure, was twisted into a ribbon-like spiral structure. The truth was later revealed.
But fortunately, the soul of the slime that Angelica deals with is an artificial spirit created by Leon.
The structure had the same shape as that of the dice.
“Angelica. From now on, I will transfer the knowledge in my head directly to you using spirits and slimes as intermediate bridges. You just have to understand the structure and order the slime to make it yourself.”
Saying that, Leon took Angelica’s hand, and she rubbed her face red and frowned.
and linked thinking skills.
Leon tried desperately to block all the emotions, memories, and thoughts that flowed back from her, and only to pass on his knowledge.
As soon as her efforts were not in vain, Angelica, who soon let Leon’s hand out, made slime to decompose manastones to create new substances.
To put it bluntly, the name of the material is Rielon nanotubes.
Leon immediately ordered the miners to build the weapon again.
“But this time, make sure you put this material in the steel instead of graphite.”
So far, miners have made steel using graphene, an allotrope of carbon contained in graphite.
I don’t know what kind of principle it is, but if it is processed according to the traditional method passed down to the miners, a characteristic wave pattern appears on the surface of the blade made of steel, but Leon knew the name of the steel well.
A metal that is said to be a legend even in modern science, the Damascus steel.
Obviously, the background was the Middle East in the Middle Ages, and when the material of the sword was investigated, carbon nanotubes, which were called the new dream material discovered by modern science, were found.
In this world, the steel called the Osu River, which means earth dragon in the ancient language, was the Damascus River.
The miners put ryelon nanotubes in place of graphite to forge their swords, and they couldn’t help but be amazed at the results.
“Is this a substance given by the God of Steel…?”
