‘Okay.’
Fire Arrow.
As your body learns how to activate this magic, the second time around it will be overwhelmingly easier than the first.
Because it’s always been like that up until now.
If you mix in the original secrets here, you might be able to further enhance its power.
After turning off the magic like that.
He looked at his empty right hand and smiled.
Aside from this magic, there were still countless 2nd circle magics left.
The first things to make were the two-circle magics representing each attribute.
Fire, water, wind, earth.
Since each attribute has its own advantages and disadvantages, it is best to utilize all four.
That’s how I started to focus my mind.
* ? ?* ? ?*
day.
It took me a while to create a hybrid driving method of two-circle magic representing each attribute.
Ice Fog, a water-type magic.
Wind Fist, a wind-type magic.
And even Earth Moon, which is an earth magic.
Creating these three hybrid drive modes wasn’t that difficult.
This was because I had already raised my level of understanding to 100%.
‘The attribute affinity also seems similar.’
Attribute affinity.
Every wizard had attributes that suited them well and attributes that didn’t. Usually, they showed strength in one or two attributes, but I was different.
All four attributes were showing good responses.
‘That kid Kyle.’
It turned out that his body was much more usable than I thought.
To be exact, I would say that the mana body that has formed on this guy’s body is amazing.
After completing the magic to some extent, I immediately called Leonhard and Ersiel.
“Both of you, do you have time?”
“Do you have anywhere to go?”
“Oh. There’s a place that just popped into my mind. Prinus. I’m thinking of going there.”
The escort knight immediately frowned at my words.
I think I know the reason roughly.
Prinus.
This is a medium-sized city right next to Trasden, and if I had to define it in one word, it would be…
‘A city of luxury and pleasure.’
It meant that it was a very nice neighborhood to play in.
Especially for the children of wealthy families like Kyle, it could be considered a heavenly place.
Of course, when this guy was a total idiot, listening to Prinus was almost a daily occurrence.
That’s probably why.
I smiled brightly when I saw Leonhard.
“Don’t worry too much, I’m not going out to play like I used to.”
“Then why… … .”
“There is someone you need to find.”
Early May, year 298 of the Imperial Calendar.
By this time, the main character of this game would be rolling around like crazy.
Right in the arena, where slaves are gathered?
It was also a place with the word illegal in front of it.
Illegal dumping ground.
It was the starting point where you would move when you first chose the main character.
The main character of this game.
I don’t know if this guy exists or not.
If there was even a 1% chance, the answer was to definitely go and see.
This is because, as expected from the main character, he was a truly amazing talent.
‘In the beginning, two talents were given randomly.’
The talents that were given to him were all extraordinary. In just one month from now, he will attempt to escape from the arena.
That is, if the story of the game as I know it goes as planned.
I didn’t know where to go next.
Because it is a game with such a high degree of freedom, there are no given routes except for the early stages of the arena.
so.
‘I have to find it before I leave.’
Of course, next time I thought about making him my subordinate.
* ? ?* ? ?*
An illegal arena where the main character of this game resides.
It was located in Prines, a town right next to Trasden.
‘The location is perfect.’
It was a nearby city that could be reached within a day by horsepower carriage.

‘Was it ruled by the Earl of Remington?’
As it was a medium-sized city, the status of the nobles ruling the city was not very high.
No, actually, if you make it yourself, you’ll have a good shot.
Roughly speaking, I could say that he is at a similar level to me.
Although he was a Viscount, Viscount Remington was not very powerful compared to his peers.
This is why bloodlines are important.
Especially in a caste-based society like this.
Because he was the youngest son of a noble family, he was able to attain a position similar to that of a Viscount.
It would be fair to say that the illegal dumping grounds were effectively under the jurisdiction of Viscount Remington.
If not, the place where all kinds of illegal activities were rampant would not have been so active.
The manager of the arena is probably bribing the Count with a lot of money.
‘It’ll be easy to get in.’
Kyle Celtharion.
This guy was one of the great suckers on Prinus’ VVIP customer list.
It is only natural for humans to visit cities of luxury and pleasure.
So, the count was likely to welcome me without any suspicion.
‘Even the fact that it has changed is probably treated as half a rumor.’
Originally, people tended to believe only what they saw with their own eyes.
My appearance has changed since I overcame Hermemu, so it might be shocking at first.
If I just showed a slightly mischievous side, it was obvious that they would be relieved that my true nature had not disappeared.
Because improved skills are not synonymous with improved character.
After reassuring him like that, I thought I’d ask him if there was any place where blood would splatter.
He’ll probably introduce you to an illegal dumping ground.
If Hogu offered to give me the gold, how could I refuse?
I’ll make sure to prepare the best seats for you.
After entering the arena, all I had to do was find the main character.
‘After you find it.’
I was thinking of trying to buy it for now.
It was common to buy and sell slave gladiators.
But there was a variable.
‘This guy might have some talent, but he doesn’t know what it is.’
gladiator.
In the arena, gladiators were usually classified into five tiers:
Lowest, lower, middle, upper, and highest.
The criteria for distinction were simple.
How bloody is the fight?
And how much can you excite the audience?
Because the grades were roughly divided into these types of things.
If this guy had any talent for being a knight, he would have achieved a high rank by now.
If you give me a reasonable price range, I can just buy it.
‘I don’t think they’ll call it cheap.’
It was obvious that he would think highly of them, thinking that he had caught a strong opponent.
Otherwise, I might not have sold it at all.
If there were talented gladiators, it would naturally attract more customers, so it might have been an obvious choice.
‘Then we should sweep it away.’
What if there is a main character?
I had to get it in my hands, even if it meant sweeping away all the trash from the illegal dumping grounds.
With the combined power of Leonhard, me, and Ersiel, it wouldn’t be difficult to destroy those punks.
Illegal dumping ground.
As the name suggests, it is a place with a strong copper smell, so the people here could be said to be the worst kind of people who commit evil deeds.
Murder. Drugs. Kidnapping. Human trafficking.
These were the guys who were everyday people.
So there was no guilt.
The only thing I’m worried about is the aftereffects of my own work.
‘The Count won’t be able to move easily anyway.’
There was a reason why the word ‘illegal’ was attached to the front of the stadium. Why would they go wild about such a place being destroyed? If they demanded an investigation, there was a high chance that they would be beaten to death by the imperial judicial officers.
So direct intervention would be impossible.
Because that in itself was no different from saying that he was supporting an illegal gambling site.
The best they can do is probably just attack the street with masked men.
If only I could get the main character,
‘That’s about it.’
I was able to accept it with a smile.
Anyway, once you’ve been there, you’ll never want to go back to Prinus again.
‘The best thing is to just buy it cleanly and pay for it.’
If it didn’t work out, there was nothing I could do.
There is no choice but to strike it down with the hammer of justice.
If the protagonist were there, I could easily make him mine since he is now a slave gladiator, but if only a little time passes, he will start to soar with his talent.
‘Then it will never happen.’
Then, it was no different from the difficulty of pulling you into my arms increasing rapidly?
Wouldn’t it be more touching to receive a helping hand when you are having a hard time and feeling tired?
The time to extend a helping hand was right now.
After thinking about it, I immediately sent Leonhard to Abel.
The purpose was to borrow platinum.
Just seventeen.
You should probably throw in about thirty gold coins, the same amount as the entrance fee or tip to the arena.
In terms of money, it was around 30 million won.
It may be considered quite expensive for the amount of money that is just the entrance fee and tip, but since it is a place where all kinds of high-ranking officials gather, it is something that is almost mandatory.
Just as the children of the rich in modern times spend a lot of money on pleasure, it was the same here.
Rather, during the period of true centralization, it would have been more severe than modern times, if not less severe.
Fortunately, I had that much money left.
‘Seventeen platinum coins.’
It was the most I could offer those punks.
If I wanted to give more, I’d have to borrow a lot of money from Abel, which I feel a little bad about.
However, I had no intention of reaching out to the Marquis.
Because I had already obtained the mana stone.
‘Surely you won’t become a top-class gladiator.’
If you do well, you will become a high-level gladiator.
Then, I could have purchased it easily with this amount.
As long as those punks don’t slash the prices.
1.7 billion.
This was a fairly high price for a single gladiator.
‘What if I hit you?’
If you just act according to the given answer, that’ll be the end of it.
After Leonhard borrowed the money like that.
After telling the Marquis that he was going to the neighboring village, he immediately started to head towards Prinus using the magic carriage.
* ? ?* ? ?*
day.
It was the time it took for the magic carriage to arrive at Prinus. After showing my ID and passing through a simple security check, I took a quick look around the city before the knights began to approach.
Their business was simple.
Because it was Count Remington who was looking for me.
In the past, whenever I came here, I would throw money around, so maybe this was natural?
Perhaps the purpose is to provide special care in advance for the visit of VVIP guests.
“Is your Majesty busy right now? I would like to see you right away.”
As soon as I finished speaking, the knights nodded.
“No. Then now… … .”
“Let me guide you right away.”
The overbearing attitude, the condescending look, and even the way he lightly cuts you off mid-sentence.
The knights’ eyes furrowed slightly as he displayed an attitude that was no different from when he was a previous scoundrel.
Well then, that’s right.
That was the look in his eyes.
If you continue to show this attitude, it won’t be difficult to enter the illegal dumping grounds.
Isn’t this a thrilling space that’s perfect for a punk?
Since I had already told Leonhard and Ersiel that I would act this way, my companions’ expressions didn’t change much at my sudden change in attitude.
After moving towards introspection like that.
Wait a minute, Viscount Remington has appeared.
Oily face.
And there’s that belly fat that’s all over the place.
His appearance was that of a truly greedy nobleman.
Immediately afterwards, the pig greeted me happily.
“Oh! Sir Kyle. It’s been a long time. Your complexion has really improved!”
The guy who greeted me started looking at my face carefully.
There was a faint wariness in the guy’s eyes.
You may be very curious as to whether your personality has changed as much as your appearance.
Now it was time to live up to the guy’s expectations.
“Haha! Aren’t you Viscount Remington? Oh my. It was really hard to get out of that damned annex. It’s been so long since I’ve visited this delightful city… … I really missed you all this time, didn’t I?”
“Haha. I heard that you were given a disciplinary action. Your Majesty, you are too much. To imprison such a great man as Sir Kyle for so long.”
“That’s right. I’ve had a really hard time since I stopped getting allowances. Seriously. Even though he’s my father, isn’t that too much?”
“Ah! I completely understand Sir Kyle’s feelings.”
As I showed my agreement with what the guy was saying, even ticking a little, relief began to cross the pig’s eyes.
Because the attitude you’re showing now is no different from your previous behavior.
As I placed my legs on the desk and started shaking them, the pig started laughing hysterically.
“Haha, as expected! Sir Kyle’s generosity is still intact!”
“Well, I’m always the same. I live each day as if it were my last. My belief hasn’t changed.”
“Ah, that’s how a man should live. As expected. Sir Kyle is a real man!”
He gave a satisfied smile to the pig whose eyes were shining like that.
“In fact, if it weren’t for your surname, would I be able to be this comfortable? Oh, my. I can’t rest comfortably in my own home.”
“You have worked very hard. You should rest comfortably. Would you like a drink?”
After finishing speaking, the count took out a glass of whiskey.
“Isn’t that obvious? How did you know that I like alcohol? After all, there is no one else but you, Your Highness. Please give it to me quickly.”
Since I had already broken through the barrier near Jeongsu-ri, I could use mana to get rid of the hangover that was rising to my head.
While we were giving and receiving whiskey like that.
Perhaps he was gradually becoming intoxicated by the atmosphere, but the Count looked at me with slightly relaxed eyes.
“Actually, when I heard the rumors about Sir Kyle, I was a little worried.”
“Are you worried?”
“I’ve heard so many rumors that the once generous Sir has changed a lot. In fact, I’ve always been very welcoming to Sir Kyle because I like him the way he is. I was really worried that I might lose a good friend.”
What about friends?
He must have been worried that he might lose one of his customers.
Because with Kyle’s spending power, you could be considered a VVIP customer, one of the top twenty in this city of pleasure.
“Haha! What could you possibly have done to escape from that damned annex? In fact, if you hadn’t pretended to change, you would have never been able to escape from there.”
“Heh heh… Is that so?”
While the Count smiled happily at my words.
After pretending to be slightly drunk and letting his face relax.
He looked at the Count with a disheveled appearance and smiled.
From now on, it was time to show what a real loser was.
