Magic is Learned for Nothing – Episode 277
# 277
Earl! Legion 2
Others might not know, but they know the truth.
Vassrava Bob and the three Guardian Mages couldn’t hold back their laughter.
They had to pinch their thighs to keep from bursting out.
At least they knew that the person who defeated the Bone Dragon was Legion, the Baron, contrary to the rumors.
The gossipy shuttle [referring to rumors spreading quickly] had already proven it to them.
“What? You’re asking me not to tell anyone? You’re okay with someone else taking the credit? Really? Ah, you’re so selfless. A hero who saved the kingdom. It brings tears to my eyes. If anything happens, look for me. Even if the sky falls, I’ll stand by your side.”
Vassrava Bob grabbed Legion’s dark hand and spoke with a deeply moved expression.
Thanks to this, only a very few people knew what had happened that day.
Almost everyone praises ‘Don Quixote Man and Jack Nitzer’.
But they had nothing to do with this incident.
Vassrava Bob and the three Guardian Mages couldn’t understand why their names were being mentioned.
The hero who saved the kingdom was right in front of them…….
“Pfft.”
Ah~ It burst out after all.
Vassrava Bob was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes, but the three Guardian Mages didn’t seem to be able to hold it in.
Overlock turned his head and burst into laughter. When Overlock laughed, Gunflake, who had been holding back, couldn’t resist and rolled on the floor.
You crazy bastards.
Legion seriously considered throwing these crazy old men out the window.
“Sorry, I’m sorry.”
Overlock wiped away tears with the back of his hand and apologized. Then he looked at Legion again and burst into laughter.
These old men, really.
“I apologize on their behalf. It’s because you’ve become so… unique. Cough.”
Joint also seemed to have a hard time holding back his laughter. He laughed the hardest in 30 years while looking at Legion, the hero who saved the kingdom.
When he was wearing the full plate armor, he was somewhat bearable.
But once he took off the helmet and the armor, it was just….
They told him to at least put on some clothes, but he said he couldn’t because he gets too hot. Still, they told him to wear them in crowded places.
“I have a disease where I die if I wear clothes.”
Joint was so dumbfounded that he asked again.
“In the world, what kind of disease makes you die if you wear clothes?”
“I didn’t know either. I heard that if I wear clothes, my body temperature rises and my organs fail.”
“Such a bizarre… Did the full-body plastic surgery magic fail?”
“……Yes.”
Legion hung his head.
It’s hard to say it completely failed.
He became a man with incredibly cool muscles, and he was able to activate the ‘Explosion of Coolness’ passive skill he had so desired 24 hours a day.
But this appearance was very far from the ideal he wanted.
The appearance he wanted was a sparkling, prince-like appearance. Handsome and delicate. Just looking at him would make tears fall.
He never wanted this kind of muscular, well-built appearance.
Now, he should carry a staff like a mage.
As a memento, he put the heavy iron sword on the used market and sold it.
He will never carry heavy objects again. He will not do anything that builds muscle.
“Is that why you can’t take off your helmet because of your skin color?”
“Yes.”
“Haa. This is really something.”
Vassrava Bob sighed briefly.
The situation of imminent civil war was resolved in an instant.
The Gong King’s side was chasing after Don Quixote Man and Jack Nitzer, who had ended the civil war situation. It wasn’t to ask them about any wrongdoings. It was to try to win them over by any means possible.
But the King knew the truth thanks to Vassrava Bob.
Baron Legion, a super strong person who had been hidden in seclusion.
A man among men who has no interest in power and only risks his life for the well-being of the kingdom.
Vassrava Bob only said good things, so the King had a very good image of Legion.
So, he promised to put aside other matters and prioritize Legion’s promotion.
“I will arrange a meeting with His Majesty in a few days. His Majesty was so surprised by this incident that it will be difficult for him to spare a lot of time.”
Legion also declined the uncomfortable meeting with the King.
“Ah, well, thank you.”
Legion only wants two things.
First.
I hope that this opportunity will allow me to make a good impression on the King, and at the same time, I hope to catch the eye of the King’s daughter and get married. What is the name of the King’s daughter? I should find out.
“The promotion will proceed as originally planned.”
“Then?”
“You will become an Earl. I have to do this much to save face for you.”
This is the second thing.
Yes!
Legion clenched both fists.
Even if he doesn’t know anything else, he really liked hearing the word Earl. It means he’s on par with Earl Persimmon, who is busy raising his intelligence.
“Thank you.”
Legion sincerely thanked Vassrava Bob for working so hard for him.
“What have I done? It’s all your good fortune. No, it’s the kingdom’s good fortune. Thanks to your efforts, the kingdom will last for a thousand years.”
No.
Vassrava Bob was not aware that Legion was cutting off the momentum of a thousand years with the momentum of one year.
No, even Legion himself is not aware of it, so who knows where the fate of the kingdom and the continent will flow.
That’s why Jushin [likely a deity or higher power] is sending angels to persistently deliver oracles [divine messages] throughout the continent, but no one believes them.
The angels grabbed their heads and shouted.
Why don’t you believe it!
It’s an oracle!
Oracle!
The angels gave even stronger oracles. They even made the black pig bigger than a planet. The sight of a black pig bigger than the moon invading the continent was obviously a pipe dream to anyone.
“The Earl’s appointment letter will be sent by registered mail. It should arrive in a few days.”
“Ah, I would be very grateful if you could do that.”
“Well, are you going to your territory now?”
“No. I think I should go to the Dark Elf village.”
“To get plastic surgery magic again?”
“I’m just going to fix it a little.”
“Someone told me. If you keep getting plastic surgery magic, you’ll become addicted. In the end, you’ll fix everything even if you don’t like it a little. Money is money, but I’m worried that you’ll lose yourself.”
“…….”
Legion couldn’t answer.
Then should I live like this wearing a helmet?
As a black-skinned human wearing only underwear?
“Thank you for your concern in many ways.”
“Come to the Magic Tower for a while after visiting the Dark Elf village.”
This old man.
Anyone would think that the Dark Elf village and the Magic Tower are close. It takes more than fifteen days to just walk straight.
It takes more than ten days to get from there to the territory.
Because I keep wandering around, it seems like the Dark Elf village and the Magic Tower feel like next-door neighborhoods.
Of course, he couldn’t say that. He’s even being promoted to Earl. If I don’t know, I’ll be granted a territory about ten times larger than now.
Wouldn’t the population naturally increase by about 20 times?
This is something.
Jackpot!
There must be many pretty girls.
It’s fun just thinking about it. When I can take off my helmet, I should go to the club that’s popular these days.
Bacon and his exclusive servants go very often.
Some of them brag about having girlfriends they met at the club. In fact, Jo Nane has been dating a girlfriend he met at the club for several months.
But Legion has never been to a club yet.
While others were playing, Legion, the lord, really worked like a dog.
Now, let me rest a little.
“I will definitely go when I have time.”
He will go someday, but he didn’t give a definite answer.
When the re-plastic surgery magic is over, he really wanted to rest.
Legion left Vassrava Bob’s room. He’s so tired that he’s going to rest for a day today. I should sleep well and leave tomorrow.
He was really tired.
* * *
Freeza visited the Rose Castle, which can be said to be the First Royal Castle, to attend the noble inauguration ceremony.
He couldn’t hide his uneasy heart throughout the journey here.
Originally, he should have visited Baron Legion first to say hello. But he couldn’t find Baron Legion in the chaos.
Baron Legion is the epitome of a man, but Freeza didn’t necessarily think so.
He is quite vindictive.
So, as soon as he arrived at the Rose Castle, he asked the maid who was guiding them.
“Have you seen Baron Legion?”
“Um, I saw him, but he didn’t look very well.”
The beautiful maid answered.
Freeza and Vegeta thought they misheard.
Who doesn’t look well?
Baron Legion?
Freeza, no, now Viscount Freeza, snorted. Although from a distance, they clearly saw the back of Baron Legion.
A sharp-bodied man fighting a giant Bone Dragon. Even if Legion took off his armor, he could be recognized at a glance just by looking at his back.
Legion can be recognized at a glance.
I don’t know why. You could say that Legion has a unique energy. Once that intense light is imprinted in your head, it doesn’t leave.
Seeing the unbelievable lightning pouring down on the Bone Dragon’s head…….
Freeza swore.
Even if the sky falls, he will not attack Legion. Even if there are 10,000 troops by my side.
If that monster is determined to attack, what can we do to stop it?
“Can you stop Baron Legion?”
Freeza asked Vegeta.
“Even if I join hands with my greatest rival, Kakarot, it is impossible to stop him.”
“Kakarot? Who is he?”
“A descendant of the King God. He will probably never lose even if he fights the top 7 strongest in the kingdom.”
King God?
It must be a cult.
“Anyway, you’re saying you can’t beat Baron Legion.”
“Does that look like a human to you?”
“If not human, then what?”
“Then you can believe that…… but I would rather not believe it if possible.”
That’s right.
Since then, Freeza decided to exclude Baron Legion, no, Earl Legion, from the discussion.
But he couldn’t just go back to his territory, all happy and excited because he received the title.
He found Earl Legion with the thought that he should report it first.
Oh oh oh!
He’s here. He’s here.
Earl Legion.
It’s been a long time. He’s changed a lot in the meantime. It was better when he was wearing armor.
No, why is he taking off his clothes?
Is this allowed in the royal palace?
Why doesn’t he take off his helmet?
He was dressed in a way that made it easy for someone to shout, ‘Guard! Guard! There’s a pervert here. A pervert has invaded the royal palace!’ The only fortunate thing was the bottoms. He was wearing aristocratic pants underneath.
It’s fortunate, but…… why is his skin color like that?
There are many rich people in the port city of CM. So, they don’t hesitate to do rare things like tanning their skin.
Did Legion also get a tan?
If he did, he did it too much.
It was like the skin color of a five-year-old son who was burned black while his mother was grilling mackerel and suddenly went to the bathroom.
At least take off the helmet.
No matter how you look at it, it’s strange. It would be perfect to write on his forehead, ‘I’m someone with something,’ and walk around.
Freeza thought again.
Wearing the armor again seemed to play a role in stabilizing the minds and bodies of the people around him in many ways.
“Congratulations on your promotion to Earl.”
Freeza and Vegeta bowed deeply to Legion.
“Yeah, ah.”
Legion also saw Freeza. He runs a gladiatorial arena and made a meteoric rise…… I can’t remember suddenly.
What was his name?
“Bulma?”
“It’s Freeza.”
“Ah, that’s right. That’s right. Sorry. Yeah, it’s been a while.”
Legion spoke in the voice of Sergeant Kim, who had returned from hell. He still can’t take off his helmet, so his voice is the same. The smell of squid dying in droves after bathing for several hours no longer smelled.
It’s just that his appearance has become more bizarre.
An incredibly cool body.
A face hidden by a helmet.
Naked upper body.
The voices of the female servants whispering can be heard.
“He must be very handsome if he takes off his helmet.”
“No. He’s too ugly to take off his helmet.”
“Wanna bet?”
“Let’s do it. Do it. A bet. I guarantee he’s handsome. Oh, look at that chocolate-like skin. It’s so unique.”
“I think it’s disgusting.”
“Disgusting? I wish I could be hugged by that body once.”
Was it because he was wearing a helmet? Rumors about Legion spread quickly throughout the Rose Castle. They wondered why Legion didn’t take off his helmet.
But Freeza and Vegeta, who heard Legion’s voice, trembled with fear. They’re curious about everything.
His voice is really terrible now and then.
In the past, there was a man named ‘Darth Vader’ among the most famous evil knights.
He was also the commander-in-chief of the evil empire who caused great damage to the continent. If he were alive, Earl Legion’s voice would be similar.
For some reason, it feels like he’s going to say ‘I’m your father’ to me.
Earl Legion is my father who I was separated from when I was young?
Ah! The delusion went too far.
“I heard that you promoted me to Viscount.”
“Yeah.”
“I am deeply grateful.”
“Deep gratitude, what. It’s all about eating well and living well together.”
The word ‘together’ shook Freeza’s mind severely. I am me, and you are you. Together? Since when did we start using the word together? It’s very unsettling.
