How to Live as a Tyrant’s Spoiled Brat Chapter 153

How to live as a tyrant's spoiled brat, episode 153

(153)

As soon as I returned to the villa, I took a pill of 'Eternal Life'.

Eternal Life was a slightly elastic red bead the size of a human eyeball, too hard and tough to chew in the mouth, but it melted as soon as it entered the throat.

“Ugh… … .”

I felt the heat of something like a fireball entering my body.

Unlike when I ate 'Hwajeong', my body itself felt like it was on fire.

Rudy was horrified to see my skin turning red.

“Valen, are you okay? Is it okay for me to eat one of these at a time?”

I smiled faintly and nodded.

“Isn’t it refreshing?”

During the Hwajeong, I felt like my body was on fire, but this time, I felt like my entire body was being engulfed in fire.

My arms and legs felt light, as if I had loosened up enough to sweat.

After the Yongchan ritual, my body, which had been somewhat weak, seemed to have tightened up again.

Since I had received 27 of these, I figured I wouldn't have to worry about being lazy for a while.

… … If I continue like this, I won’t be able to reach the realm in this life either, right?

“Let’s go to bed early. I want to go shopping tomorrow for the first time in a while.”

Rudy smiled brightly and nodded.

Her green eyes, hidden beneath her brown bangs, were as lively as wet grass.

“Yes, Lord Valen. I like anything with Lord Valen.”

For a moment, a look of anxiety crossed her face.

“But I heard you got another long-term mission today. You’re coming back after a month and then going out again? You’ll get sick later. How about taking a few days off?”

I too have thought about stretching a little.

After living on horseback for a whole month, my pelvis hurt so much that I had difficulty sitting or standing.

Even Tentia Kyung-do skipped training today and went straight to the official residence.

But this was a critical mission that required every second.

If he wanted to obtain the swearing of allegiance from the High Lords within the year, he had to quickly purge his opponents and issue a decree to bring them back to the capital.

“I received 27 medications that I couldn’t buy with money, so I have to do this much.”

“… … It seems like you’ve become sincere again. It’s nice to see you.”

“… … I see you saw me receiving a bribe in a carriage a while ago.”

“… … .”

Rudy opened his mouth wide, speechless.

I said goodnight and quickly went into my bedroom and threw myself onto the bed.

The ivory tower was destroyed before the return.

Not long after I came to my senses, all the elders of the Ivory Tower had become corruptors, and the Ivory Tower Autonomous Region had become a den of demons with several demonic realms opened.

Jaylilith gave up on any attempts at rescue, search, or recovery of the grimoire, and instead called in his battle mages, who began to pour out spells, magical tools, and scrolls like crazy from outside.

Even after going in after clearing a considerable number of large and small foreign objects and eroders, more than fifty knights died.

Considering that Jaylilith was at the forefront, showing off all her magic and sword skills, the casualties were enormous.

Of course, nothing like that has happened in this life and it will never happen again.

The 'Ulgrim's Pen' still remained in the imperial palace, and the ancient Elvish grimoire was also either strictly sealed or burned after being moved to the imperial palace.

That is, in this life, as long as you have money, you can buy as many magic tools of decent quality as you want.

Considering that before the return, the Ivory Tower had evaporated, causing the level of magic on the entire continent to regress by about 500 years, and that Jaylilith had personally drawn the circuit diagrams to create the knights' magical weapons, it was very fortunate.

“The Bracelet of Swiftness costs 300 gold coins, and the Ring of Secret Magic costs 350 gold coins.”

I remember 40 years ago when the obvious thing that you could buy magic tools if you paid the right price became a thing of the past.

“Ah. The stationmaster’s ring? That one is a bit more expensive. 700 gold coins?”

So there was no need to tremble, grit your teeth, or break into a cold sweat when you heard that amount.

“Why are you like that?”

… … I received a formal letter of introduction from Sereraji, and came to the Ivory Tower as the first guest together with Rudy and Sir Tentia.

As if treating a noble guest, the Ivory Tower assigned a wizard to guide and explain things, and I started shopping for magical tools under the guidance of Niar, who I was familiar with.

He knew that the Ivory Tower's magic tools were as expensive as their quality, so he was prepared to squander the wealth he had accumulated through corruption.

still.

“Niar. What kind of magical circuitry was engraved on the ring that would cost the same as building a castle?”

A wizard with long, cream-colored hair with red tips and red and cream colored eyes.

Gestarte's disciple and Sereraji's junior.

She smiled monotonously and arrogantly, slightly raising the corners of her indifferent lips.

It was like he was telling me to eat some shit.

“Because you engraved the magic circuit that goes into a castle into a ring? This is truly a precious technology. I heard that only Ivory Tower magicians can enchant with words alone.”

“I know that Silver Magic is a pretty high-level spell, and I also know that the Force Master is a very, very dirty spell, but is it really that great that you can receive 700 gold coins?”

Instead of answering right away, Niar picked up his stationmaster ring and chanted a long spell.

Then, a complex series of lines, shapes, and circuit diagrams engraved with spells appeared in the air like an illusion.

The circuitry surrounding the ring, inside and out, was so tight that the illusion contained the shape of the ring.

As Niar enlarged the illusion enough to read the writing on it, it grew large enough to fill a fairly large room.

The 'station master' sorcery circuitry was so complex and delicate that it took a great deal of training to be able to discern the Elvish language and formulas written within it.

Niar glanced at me and said.

“Did you know that this was such a dirty spell?”

Even Lord Tentia and Rudy, who would normally have said, “Watch your words, how rude!”, just opened their mouths and let out exclamations.

Niar said, dispersing the welcome.

There was a look of extreme fatigue on the little girl's face.

He seemed like a craftsman who had been looking at a statue he had made for ten years and had been asked what the difference was between one made from a plaster mold or one made with earth magic.

“The stationmaster is a really, really hard magical tool to make. The ones sold on the magic street are for storing completed spells, so you know that they’re over after about 10 uses. This one absorbs mana in the air to help activate it, so the user doesn’t need a lot of mana.”

Given the grandeur of the Archduke, it was impossible to complain any more when he said this.

Besides, the price of the magic guns and magic books I've stolen from the ivory tower so far would be thousands of gold coins.

I reached out to Lord Tentia and took the leather bag.

“Just give me one each of the Stationmaster Ring, the Silver Magic Ring, and the Swiftness Bracelet.”

Niar asked.

“What kind of bracelet would you like for the Swiftness Bracelet?”

“What do you have?”

“The basic ones are based on wind magic, but there are also ones that use the blood magic and electricity magic to enhance physical abilities. There are also ones that use time acceleration, but they are not for sale.”

Then why on earth did you say that? I swallowed my doubts and looked at Lord Tentia.

“What do you think is the best thing to hear?”

* * *

Sir Tentia glanced at Rudy with her red eyes and said.

“The reason I have been against Rudy’s use of magical tools up until now is because if you get into the habit of relying on them to draw strength, you will neglect your training. This is especially true when it comes to mana control.”

The fact that she, who was ordinary, was able to become a mana user even though she started training after becoming an adult was also due to the harsh training methods of Lord Tentia.

"yes."

That's why, even though I had money, I couldn't buy magic tools that would be of direct help until now.

I tried to buy it for her secretly, but Lord Tentia almost knocked me out and stopped me.

“Now that you’re a mana user, I think it would be better to look at it with a bit more leeway. Of course, I personally recommend using the acceleration of the life-giving power. That’s because the magical effect doesn’t directly assist the body, but rather the current generated by magic stimulates the muscles appropriately to accelerate.”

“Hmm.”

I thought about it for a moment and then asked Niar.

“I know it’s dangerous to wear two of the same type of magic tools, but are ‘Life and Death’ and ‘Wind Blessing’ the same type?”

Niar shook his head.

“Type classification is based on process, not phenomenon. They both accelerate the body in the same way, but they accelerate the body in different ways, so there is no problem.”

“Then give them both. Use the Life and Death Blessing when charging, and use the Wind Blessing when retreating.”

Niar opened his eyes wide as if he was surprised, and Rudy made an awkward expression as if he was overjoyed.

I said, lowering my voice.

“Rudy. Come and choose the shape you want. Decide which finger you want to wear it on. One for the power field and one for the silver magic. You’ll need two for the acceleration bracelets, so choose carefully.”

This time, I didn't want to hear things like, "You don't need to spend this kind of money on me."

As if he noticed my intention, Rudy smiled brightly and kindly like an angel and said.

“Thank you, Valen.”

The stationmaster's ring was made of a thick platinum body with blue diamonds set into it, and the silver magic ring was a solid ring that could not be seen unless you looked at it properly.

The Life and Death Acceleration Bracelet is made from Drake bones and silver, while the Wind Blessing Acceleration Bracelet is made from Ent sprouts that have been preserved permanently.

The Wind Blessing Acceleration Bracelet and the Silver Magic Ring went well with Rudy's wildflower-like impression, and the Raw Bird Forest Acceleration Bracelet was also okay.

However, the stationmaster's ring was crude, more suited to a knight in his fifties than a maid in her twenties, and even after being reduced as much as possible, it was still so large that it had to be worn on the left thumb.

Seeing the thick ring that was worn over the gauntlet on Rudy's white hand, Sir Tentia finally burst into laughter, and Rudy's face turned bright red.

… … Next time, I should buy a thinner ring.

If something like that comes out.

As we were leaving the ivory tower, Rudy asked.

“Valentine, how much was it all?”

I hesitated and answered.

“1750 gold coins?”

Rudy covered his mouth with his palm and let out a sigh.

Her green eyes contracted and trembled.

“That’s my 145 years’ salary.”

"haha."

“It’s still too much, but… … I’ll do my best so you don’t feel that way.”

Sir Tentia nodded.

“Good attitude, maid. Our knights live like that too.”

Her full body armor, if you had to put a price on it, was something you couldn't buy even by selling an entire barony.

Because it was full of magical circuits carved by dozens of wizards and artisans who did their best in their respective fields.

Lord Tentia looked at Rudy as he adjusted to his lighter body by clenching his fists, as if she found it cute, and then turned her head to me.

“But Your Majesty Valen. You will soon be going to the Marquisate of Gremorius, the ‘Black Wall’. Why did you buy her such a magical tool now?”

There was a sense of anxiety that didn't match his dignified voice.

“I heard she will not be accompanying you on this exodus. She will be accompanied by me, Her Majesty the Sereraji, and a few other administrators. Of course, I am prepared to die with Her Majesty. However, if that is some kind of legacy or inheritance for her, you should definitely convey your feelings… … .”

There was no hesitation in uttering the phrase, “I will die with your Majesty.”

Now that he knew his father's sincerity, he felt that he had no regrets as a human being about carrying out his lord's will.

I shook my head firmly, trembling with sincerity.

“No. I have a favor to ask. It’s something that neither Kyungdo, me, nor Sereraji can do. Take the carriage and go to Wyvernpit. I’ll join you soon with Rudy.”

Sir Tentia's expression grew even more anxious.

“Where do you plan to go?”

“There’s one more person I have to go with.”
