On the train-3

Gathering the remaining poisonous bombs, Leo wiped his dirty hands.

[Is it all over now?]

<No. The engine room remains.>

There are about one or two people in the engine room.

The ability itself was no different from the remnants of the previous ones, but the problem was that it was the engine room.

[Well, if you blow up the engine room itself, it ends there.]

<Besides, it’s even more difficult when you consider taking the engineer hostage.>

[Then are you going to join Aria?]

Leo shook his head.

If he joined Ariaspil, the engine room and party could notice it in the meantime, and there was a possibility that there were a lot of people at a disadvantage.

[then?]

<Let’s go easy.>

Leo stepped back for a moment and started running to the car with the engine room.

<This is a surprise attack.>

There was nothing complicated to think about.

For a surprise attack, Leo smashed the door at the same time as he rushed.

“Ok!!”

As if the surprise was effective, one of the remnants of the warlock blocking the door fell out in shock.

[Isn’t that a frontal breakthrough?]

<That’s it.>

It was in the same vein that both of them suddenly attacked.

“You…! What are you…!!”

Without answering, Leo immediately threw his fist at the other remnant. It was an attack that could not be avoided or blocked because it was wearing an aura.

“Aww!!”

When the two were subdued, Leo hurriedly ran to the engineer’s seat. Even if only the driver was killed, everyone on the train could be slaughtered at once.

“Are you okay?”

“…Yes… I lived thanks to you.”

Fortunately, the mind itself seemed to be in good shape. It would have been possible to drive without a derailment even in such a situation because he was mentally sane.

“Now what?”

“Is there anything nearby to tie up? Even if you knocked it out, it would be better to make it clear.”

Looking at the two fallen novice warlocks, Leo said. But it was a little odd.

This is because, looking at the level so far, there has not been a person who seems to be the captain who leads them yet.

‘I thought the captain would be in the engine room, too…’

At that moment, the engineer opened the drawer of the engine room and said:

“Oh, if that’s the case, here it is.”

As I looked in that direction, poison smoke rose. The mist, a poison with a higher concentration than the previous bombs, hit Leo directly.

“…you…maybe…”

“It was bad. So, you should have checked the engineer as well.”

The engineer turned his polymorphic face back and smiled. He was the instigator and commander of this terrorist attack, so the death of the saboteur must be happy.

“Yes, I admit. I didn’t expect this.”

But Leo didn’t die.

In a sense of acknowledgment, Leo smashed the warlock, who was definitely an engineer, with his fist this time.

“Awkward…?!”

Touching the sudden broken nose bone, he looked at Leo, who was still in good condition, in embarrassment.

A gas mask was placed around Leo’s mouth. They didn’t steal theirs. It looked too clunky to do that.

[Are you using a black stone as a gas mask?]

<It’s urgent. It’s really useful.>

Appreciating the versatile rock, Leo clenched his fist.

“Do you think you can last a long time with such a toy?! The next magic is…!”

“Then we should finish it before then.”

[blizzard]

A magic circle had already developed in the clenched fist. A cold blizzard made thin ice in the engine room and lowered the temperature.

“I can’t even freeze my fingers with that one-circle magic!!”

With such a confident cry, he exhaled poison gas again.

“…uh?”

That confidence was overshadowed, and all of the poison gas turned into an abyss. Not only the poison cloud that was sprayed now, but also the poisons that were already floating were sinking and sticking to the bottom.

“what…?! Why is this…!?”

“The cold air is heavy and sinks. And since this poison is also made of liquid particles, it loses its effectiveness when frozen.”

Even if you were not a regressor, it was a method that could be destroyed if you had common sense and observation.

“Then with fire magic…!”

“Would you like to leave?”

The forward fist completely broke the fluttering snout.

As an added bonus, the cheekbones and skull were slightly crushed, but that was not known to Leo.

“It’s over. Now I just need to call Miss Arya.”

Ariaspil wasn’t too concerned.

It was impossible to defeat Arya in a place like this, unless there was even a 5th circle wizard, and if there was, Leo would have noticed it first.

[But Leonardo.]

<Yes? Why?>

The sage looked at the engine room with a slightly puzzled tone.

[But do you know how to drive a train?]

<…Yes?>

Leo’s face softened, perhaps embarrassed by the sudden question.

[After all, there is no driver to drive. So who drives the train?]

Even if it was a warlock who broke in secretly, it was the criminal who was driving this train.

“…ah…”

[Hey… I hope you…]

Leonardo accumulated various experiences as well as combat skills through his life as a mercenary and training as a warrior in his previous life.

Being able to quickly learn the sage’s harsh magic training was part of that experience.

“…it’s okay. maybe.”

However, driving a train was an opportunity that was not easily given either in the past or in the present.

Besides, whether it was riding or horseback riding, there was no room or reason to learn how to drive a train.

[It can’t be okay!! What’s the difference from riding a wagon without a coach?!]

“It’s okay because I only run on the track. As long as there is nothing wrong with the track, it’s fine.”

As long as you don’t derail because of speeding, the train will arrive at its destination.

[Hey… Wait…!]

The sage peered out through the locomotive wall.

[Fuck!! Stop it quickly!!]

<Why?!>

[A tree fell on the track!!]

<Crazy!!>

Leo hurriedly ran towards the brake. Even if you are a beginner, you know the brake level.

[It’s already too late!! Collide!!]

“Ahhhh!! No way eh eh !!!”

Leo didn’t even hit the brakes. Rather, the sudden stop only overturned the train.

Now only screams came out.

“Leonardo!?”

Arya rushed to the engine room and ran to the screaming Leo.

“it’s okay?! Aren’t you hurt!?”

“…that…that is now… on the track…”

But something was odd. Considering the speed of the train, it was already time for a collision.

Still, the train was moving smoothly.

“…I’m sorry, Miss, but could you please look out the window?”

“uh? out the window?”

At that request, Ariaspil pulled his head out of the window and looked out.

“…why? Nothing?”

“A railroad?”

“uh? uh Haven’t you seen the train station yet?”

Leonardo’s eyes naturally turned to the old woman who was like a squirrel.

[Great… ahhhh

Leo vowed, no, swore, that he would study how to get rid of the evil spirit that deceives his personality when he went to the tower.

***

Fortunately, except for the blemishes, the ending of the story was on the good side.

After that, the railroad guards and the mage knights came to stop the train, solve the black magic of the passengers, and arrest the warlocks.

But the screams from earlier were only suffocating.

“Thank you very much. Without the two of you, something really bad would have happened.”

The head of the professional guards and the magic knights bowed their heads to Leo and Arya and expressed their gratitude.

“What happened to the warlocks?”

“Thanks to the suppression without killing, I think we may be able to find out who is behind this incident and the organization.”

Originally, it had no choice but to follow the strategy of killing because the safety of passengers was the top priority. However, thanks to Leonardo’s scheme, the situation was closed without anyone dying.

After that, there was no better situation for the knights and the guards who had to proceed with the investigation.

“But… can I ask you just one thing?”

Aryaspiel, who had been quiet, asked a question without hesitation, perhaps because he felt a sense of incongruity in their conversation.

“Yes, you tell me.”

“Why did the warlocks do this? Actually, I don’t really understand…”

It would not be easy for her to understand the system of black magic. Rather, it may be a little creepy if you understand it even if you don’t know it.

“There are many things, but the most likely reason is that the black magic sacrifice was needed.”

“…black magic…”

black magic

Everyone says that black magic and general magic are similar because they are called the same magic, but in fact, it is safe to say that black magic and magic are actually different.

Not ethically, but academically.

“Unlike normal magic, black magic develops skills based on magic and emotion rather than knowledge. So, to put it simply,…”

“Magic is mathematical, but black magic is a literary concept. It’s just an example of when I expressed it in a positive way.”

Magic is calculated and calculated individually, but black magic focuses on interpretation rather than calculation.

There are many other differences, but this was the most important point to explain this situation.

“The problem was that black magic was too difficult to cover with one’s own emotions. Yes, it is less effective than magic.”

Therefore, black magic devised an alternative. And this dog shit was one of those ways.

“Slaughtering a large number of people on a train can take away that much vitality and quality emotions like resentment, anger, and despair. The corpse is easy to sell later as a by-product.”

And the rest is simple. By processing that malice with mana, he creates and absorbs magic, or makes a contract with the devil again.

It was one of the most common vicious cycles.

“Writing good feelings…”

“Small anger outlasts great happiness. Such irrationality maximizes the abstraction and power of black magic.”

That’s why the warlocks are condemned and stoned. Because they do not choose any sacrifice or evil deeds for their own strength.

“…you know quite a bit. It must have been difficult to understand at a young age…”

It was a little stingy, but Leo answered calmly.

“If you learn magic, you will hear rumors.”

“…okay. I’m sorry.”

Saying so, he covered his eyes slightly with a hat. A wizard wouldn’t be very happy to hear such rumors about a child.

“First of all, the arrest is over and you have explained it, so you can go. Sorry for taking too much time.”

“thank you.”

Leonardo said goodbye and left the station with Ariaspil. It was a car that I thought was fortunate because it was a car that was noisy because of the investigation and arrest.

“But how do you get to the tower?”

“There are a lot of ways to get there… but the time is ambiguous, so let’s find a place to rest first.”

It’s lunch time now, so it’s a holiday period, so the area around the tower was at its peak. Having seen such a commotion and sight there, I also needed to find a place to rest for a while.

“Then won’t you come with me?”

At that moment, a man walked in front of Ariaspil’s party.

Beautiful blonde hair, fresh green eyes, and wearing a high-quality hat and suit seemed to add to the aesthetic impression.

“…Who are you.”

Leo asked the man with a slightly wary look.

“This is a late introduction.”

The man took off his hat like a gentleman and greeted the introduction. It seemed that dignity was flowing out of the dignified attitude.

“My name is Jeffrey Fednian. I have come to guide Leonardo-sama as the 4th Circle Wizard of the Blue Tower.”

“That’s right.”

Soon, Jeffrey’s eyes turned to Ariasviel as well.

“How are you? little lady. I’ve heard a lot from Rios.”

Saying that, he gently grabbed Arya’s hand and tried to touch her lips.

“Ah, sorry.”

Leo gently pulled Arya’s hand, and naturally shook his hand away.

“There was a big bug on the side of the road. Excuse me because I thought your shoes would get dirty if you step on them.”

Jeffrey looked at Leo with his squint eyes and the tail of his lips raised. On the other hand, Leo’s expression was a little stiff.

“it’s okay. Then let’s go.”

“I’m sorry, but that seems to be difficult. We’ve been through a lot of commotion, so we’ll take a break and then go.”

“Oh, if that’s the case, then I…”

“That’s fine too. I want to visit the places recommended by Rios myself.”

Saying that, Leo took Arya’s hand and walked towards the city alley. Arya had no choice but to express her doubts about the strange behavior she didn’t see often.

‘…Why is Leo doing that?’

As long as he didn’t suffer quarrels or disrespect, he was a more polite Leonardo than a nobleman.

The man wasn’t rude, but he came to help them.

I guess I should have guessed…

“…Leonardo.”

“yes? Do you have anything to say?”

“You don’t like that guy touching me?”

If you think about it, Leonardo’s reaction was just before Jeffrey was about to kiss the back of his hand.

That is,

“Yes, it’s a difficult request, but I don’t think it’s good to be with that man.”

Leonardo’s words gave him confidence.

This is definitely…!

‘You’re jealous…!! to another man!!’

I saw it once in a book that Rios recommended. It is said that once a man has a woman, it is unpleasant for another man to even touch her.

“…uh…”

I couldn’t hold back the laughter. I didn’t know that Leonardo, who was always mature, had such a cute side.

“Are you okay?”

“uh? Yes! I understand everything!!”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

Leo quickly turned around and ran out of the alley.

[You are a man too. I’m also jealous.]

<Because that bastard is a warlock.>

[…What?]

<Exactly later. After two or three years, the ritual of becoming a warlock is held. So I kill him.>

Previously, the sage had his tongue quivered because the discipline of the tower had collapsed.

Leonardo doesn’t deny it either, the reason being simple.

<Now, the tower is full of promising warlocks. The reason I came is to sweep those children.>

It was because it was Leo who had seen and dealt with the evil deeds one by one.

[…ha… crazy… but how do you get it? It’s like a dog, but it’s not yet.]

<The crime you’re committing now.>

Leonardo frowned and gave an unpleasant example.

<If that bastard is the same, there must be a leak of test paper answers through aid fellowship and s*xual offerings.>

[…Shiva, you did well this time.]

Sage and Leo rarely agreed.
