Magic is Learned for Nothing – 341

The Parrot Cried with Its Body (2)
Legion was beaming. He hadn’t felt this good in a long time.
“Ooh! What’s this? Looks really good!”
Legion exclaimed, looking at the bracelet with the snake emblem.
-Sacrament Resurrection Bracelet.
“The name is super cool, isn’t it? Is it the kind of bracelet that revives the dead or something?”
-It’s a bracelet for men who hang their heads. Don’t worry about it, dude.
“What is that?”
-Bachelors don’t need to know.
Ah. What is it? I’m really curious.
-I’ll teach you about the Sacrament Resurrection Bracelet when you get married later.
Okay. Okay. Let’s see then.
Legion stared at the Sacrament Resurrection Bracelet. Then, he slyly grabbed it and put it into his subspace [a personal storage dimension accessible only to the user].
“Good. Make sure to teach me then.”
-Well, you have to work hard for the precious Alexander family. According to the original plan, you should have had about two kids by now. You can’t even date.
There was no need to reach the 8th Circle, 8-Star level. He should have just gotten moderately strong, created a harem, and spread his seeds to ensure his descendants lived well for generations. The plan was quite messed up. This is a big problem.
“I need to see you to reach for the stars.”
-That’s true, but…
He has no lover and can’t even restore his vas deferens [the duct that conveys sperm from the testicle to the urethra]. At this rate, he might have to live as a seedless watermelon at a young age.
All! Because of that messed-up eye.
He doesn’t know why his narcissism is getting stronger as time goes by, but his standards for women are getting lower. Is it because of the skill? If he doesn’t fix it quickly, he might fall in love with a 300-year-old zombie.
Legion swept all the high-end items into his subspace.
It seemed to be items that the Duke of Gong had collected throughout his life. There were quite a few legendary items. There were also many items whose names were known but whose performance was veiled. He decided to put them in unconditionally and figure out the performance later.
“Wow! There are so many amazing items. Can I take a few too?”
Mamon peeked out of the subspace and asked. He was pulling Daganda Z and working on the disaster site he had caused whenever he had time. But as time passed, his master’s anger seemed to have subsided a bit.
He said in a coquettish voice, watching his master’s mood.
“Take them.”
“Really? There’s even an Infinite Circle Lens.”
“What’s that?”
“It’s a skill that shoots the power of the sun through your eyes.”
Emit magic power through the eyes? Ah! No thanks. He had fired a fireball with his eyes due to the upgrade of the Iron Eyes passive skill. He thought his eyeballs were going to explode back then. He vowed never to use that skill again. He would refuse such an item even if it was given to him for free.
“Take it.”
“Ah! My great and glorious master. Thank you.”
Mamon disappeared into the subspace, very pleased.
“He seems to be in a good mood.”
Saibi-man approached, chuckling.
“Ah, thanks to Saibi-man, I got a lot of amazing items. Thank you so much.”
“Don’t mention it. I got quite a few items too. With this much…”
Legion glanced at the space behind him. He swept away all the high-end items whose value could not be converted into money without leaving a single one. It was enough to fully arm at least one magic squadron.
Not only that.
There were many magical items with great power, so they also played a role in greatly increasing the abilities of magicians. If he armed high-level magicians with those swept-away magic items, they would exert terrifying power.
He didn’t feel bad.
Hadn’t he taken quite a few items himself?
He was even grateful.
“The Duke of Gong… must be very angry.”
“He’ll be angry, but that’s all. He’s a man who aims for the throne. He won’t bat an eye at ordinary things. But he’ll be quite bitter inside.”
“I see.”
“Let’s go. He’s distracted by your subordinates right now, but the Knights will be here soon. If they surround the building tightly, it won’t be easy for you or me to escape.”
“I understand.”
Like that…
Legion and Saibi-man thoroughly looted the Duke of Gong’s item vault and disappeared leisurely.
* * *
There was something different from Saibi-man’s expectations.
The item vault was what the Duke of Gong had collected throughout his life. They were his most cherished possessions. The satisfaction he felt when he admired them alone was enormous. When he explained the items to his closest aides, they all looked envious.
The pleasure that the Duke of Gong felt at such times was indescribable.
Then he received an urgent report from the Fortress City of Poman.
-A large number of items stolen from the item vault.
“W-what? A large number of my items have been stolen?”
The Duke of Gong trembled as he looked at the letter. He read the letter with a feeling of disbelief.
-454 top-tier items. All stolen.
The remaining items are 1,215 mid-tier items with quality.
“T-this…”
The Duke of Gong staggered. It was too much of a shock. Maids rushed over to support the Duke of Gong. The maids saw this side of the Duke of Gong, who was always as strong as steel, for the first time.
“G-give me another letter.”
A letter that came with the urgent report.
He didn’t know who sent it. But since it came with the urgent report, he expected it to contain important information.
The maid carefully held the letter with both hands and offered it to the Duke of Gong.
The Duke of Gong had not recovered from the shock. He drank cold water in gulps and then tore open the remaining letter and read it carefully and meticulously.
-This letter first started near the border. It must leave your hands within four days. You must pass this letter on to seven people who need luck. This is by no means superstition. If you don’t believe it, you will be cursed.
…
The Duke of Gong suffered from inner demons and collapsed.
* * *
All the prisoners knelt before Dreizger. He was a lone wolf. He had lived that way all his life.
But his thoughts changed as he served his master. He, the master’s right-hand man, couldn’t live as a loner forever.
The master seemed to be born with a certain fate. Misfortune and good fortune are repeated even if he stays still. And unintentionally, the master’s power was growing exponentially.
He often felt like he was riding on a high-speed express train.
Rich Mamon, who was fighting with him for the master’s right-hand man.
He was using any means to win against him. He acquired the Golem Summoning Scroll of the 8th Circle Black Wizard Monmeogeodogo and was studying it fiercely.
It was certain that he would break through the wall of the 7th Circle soon.
As a bonus, he obtained a super-giant weapon called Daganda Z. Not only that, but a considerable number of mass-produced humanoid golems were also subordinated to him.
In short, he alone was able to command the undead and golem legions. Furthermore, Shuttle was in the same category as him. Naturally, Shuttle considered Mamon as his superior.
If their stats were the same, he would be much more disadvantaged.
So he decided to gather his own forces.
The prisoners kneeling had considerably high stats.
The biggest gain was that Mamma Yujiro and James, the kingdom’s seven strongest, had sworn allegiance.
In addition, there were countless 4-Star and 5-Star prisoners. These were not heinous criminals. They were political prisoners. Many of them were people who had opposed the Duke of Gong’s faction and were imprisoned without a trace.
About half of them said they would return to their original lord.
But the remaining 300 all swore allegiance to him.
In terms of the entire kingdom, it was a force that was not even the dirt under a baby’s toenail.
However, if he raised them well, he wondered if he could create the kingdom’s strongest combat unit.
Um, let’s exclude the exclusive servants.
If you think about it, those guys are also a collection of monsters. All of them use magic and aura at the same time. They went through terrible training, but it was clear that they were becoming abnormally strong.
In particular, Bacon reached the 6-Star, 6th Circle Master.
In addition, Lotto, Jonnaen, Poop, and Piranha were 6-Star, 6th Circle Walkers, and the others were at least 5-Star, 5th Circle Masters or Walkers.
Each individual was at the level of a knight commander.
In Bacon’s case, it was only a matter of time before he became a Sword Master.
I guarantee it!
There is no knight order in the kingdom that can fight and win against these monsters.
Then let’s create the second strongest combat unit. Knight order? Let’s not imitate the nobles. Let’s be true to myself. Let’s create a combat unit.
“You are now my exclusive combat unit.”
“I understand. We will become the strongest combat unit.”
Mamma Yujiro replied.
He cleanly admitted defeat.
Dreizger was not an existence that he could win against even if he challenged him a few more times.
Mamma Yujiro felt it to the bone. He was mistaken in thinking that his skills had improved here. He was outdated. His basic hand-to-hand combat skills may have increased a little, but his overall stats were greatly downgraded.
Who can he blame?
It was all his fault.
His fault for being afraid of Precia and being stuck here for 10 years.
Dreizger said with a smile.
“Let’s go outside. The world right now is quite interesting.”
“Interesting? How so?”
“What should I say? It’s like the feeling of the eve of a storm. Of course, it will be difficult for ordinary people to live. But it’s something you have to go through at least once. Once you go through a measles, there will be a fairly long period of peace. Assuming that my master stirs things up greatly.”
Mamma Yujiro was curious about the person called Count Legion.
Dreizger, who had become his lord, was an unapproachable person. In short, he had never met a man who went beyond this. No one was greater than Dreizger.
Count Legion, whom such Dreizger cherished so much. It seemed like he would give his life for him without hesitation.
He actually asked.
“Can you give your life for Count Legion, my lord?”
“Of course.”
He didn’t hesitate for even a second.
He didn’t even think about it once.
It was amazing.
He wanted to meet Count Legion, who had drawn out the loyalty of this great man.
“Aren’t you afraid of going out into the world?”
Dreizger asked.
“No.”
The prisoners shook their heads.
But they knew. This place, called the worst prison in the kingdom, was a frog in a well. They could become Emperor Yeomra [a mythical ruler of the underworld] for the newly introduced prisoners from the outside.
But what if they went outside?
They also knew that they could be in the opposite position if they were thrown into the world individually.
“Trust me and follow me. I’ll show you an exciting world.”
“We will trust and follow you.”
The prisoners answered loudly.
“First…”
Dreizger looked at Las Vegas, which was shining with colorful lights across the sea.
It was a city that never sleeps.
It seemed like a city where the lights would never go out for thousands of years.
Of course, that won’t happen.
Because that place will soon get a hot taste.
“We’re going to Las Vegas.”
Dreizger smiled brightly, revealing his gold teeth.
