Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

The King's conversation with Loki continued.

Paul had completely given up trying to understand and was focused on the food in his bowl; Senis rested her chin on her hand, her face full of a silly grin that said, "My son is amazing"; Rudy stared at Loki's face, lost in thought; Hilfi was still unconscious; and Lilia—she stood at the door with a tray in her hand, her expression saying, "Is there anyone normal in this house?"

Finding he couldn't get a word in edgewise, Paul quickly stuffed all the food in his bowl into his mouth and then took little Sylphie home.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Lord and the beautiful girl continued their meeting in the newly repaired study.

"To be honest, I used to think I was pretty good, but now I'm not confident that I can be a qualified teacher for you." Luo Qixi lowered her head awkwardly, not daring to look up.

A 37-year-old young woman acted shy and awkward around a 5-year-old child, like a student meeting the headmaster.

Then it was as if he had made up his mind.

"But we can't just do nothing."

She raised her head and looked at me earnestly:

"If you want to further your studies in magic, I suggest you go to the magic school in the Kingdom of Lanoa," Lokishi continued, still trying to offer her advice. "However, it's best not to reveal your research and theories, for your safety. You're still too young; at most, you can demonstrate without chanting. As for the rest of your knowledge, I suggest you borrow books from the university library to learn it yourself..."

After giving up her role as a teacher, Luo Qixi, a senior who had switched to studying magic, began to ramble on about her life experiences, starting with magic universities and then rambling on about the three great magic nations, getting further and further off-topic as she spoke, her head bowed lower and lower.

"The king doesn't need a teacher who only knows how to bow his head."

After interrupting Luo Qixi's self-talk, I started to comfort her like an elder.

"It is impossible for a person to know all knowledge. Everyone only knows what they know. As someone who explores magic, I am just walking in areas that you do not know."

Teacher Loki must be an adventurer, right? The roads you've traveled, the things you've experienced—your life is all part of your knowledge. And me—I'm just a child who's never left the village.

In short, I hope you can stay and teach me and Rudy magic without worry. As for other knowledge I want to know, I'll exchange it with you in exchange for my research into magic, how about that?

Luo Qixi's expression gradually relaxed from tense, a slight smile appearing on her lips, before she looked up again with a disdainful expression and flicked me on the forehead.

"This is a lesson for you for acting like an adult."

After adjusting her posture, Luo Qixi said seriously, "The deal is done. I will stay. As for how you address me in private, please don't call me teacher anymore. We are not master and disciple, but partners who are exploring the mysteries of magic together."

Having confirmed Luo Qixi's feelings, Wang stood up and walked to the window, placing his hands behind his back and leaving his aloof figure behind him. He then extended an invitation in his deepest voice.

"I know your intentions. I am the Shadow King who walks between day and night. You—the witch who seeks the forbidden—would you be willing to go with me to the unknown shores of magic and explore the forbidden depths of the abyss?"

Luo Qixi was stunned for two seconds.

"Hahahaha!!!"

Not a polite smile, but a genuine, hearty laugh that makes you double over.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"He really is just a child."

Although the king was underestimated, the outcome was within the king's calculations.

Day two.

The Shadow King forcibly suppressed his instinct to sleep in and came into the morning sunlight. Today's plan was to go find Sylphie to practice magic together. Paul would take me and Loki with him.

With the thought that I shouldn't be the only one suffering, I forcibly took the Sorcerer King Rudeus out of his safe zone.

In short, he's just a three-year-old NEET. He's only afraid to try things because of fear. If you take him out for a walk, he'll be fine.

It was a pity for Paulo's horse wife; four people were sitting on the white mare Caravaggio, although the total weight wasn't that heavy.

But Paul didn't care about the burden Caravaggio had placed on him, and just said to himself, "I talked to Rolz last night, and he has his own difficulties too."

His wife died while giving birth to Silphie, and the child was green-haired, which was seen as an ominous sign.

Roltz himself didn't have much experience as a parent. It's said that his mother only raised him for a short time before abandoning him. At first, she kept Sylphie at home and took care of her alone, but that wasn't a long-term solution.

Not long ago, Roltz tried to get Hilfi to start delivering meals. After all, there wasn't much danger in the village, so he started by using some simple tasks to train Hilfi's self-care ability. As a result, the child became too sensible. Even when she was bullied, she would pretend that nothing had happened because she didn't want her father to worry.

In short, Roltz is still very grateful to you for what happened yesterday. He not only praised me as an excellent knight, but also said that you are now a little knight too.

In the end, the initial gloom dissipated, replaced by pride and joy for their child.

That makes sense, since this is the medieval countryside in another world.

The outside world is fraught with danger, and compared to that, the security in Bouyena Village is almost too peaceful. But why is Roltz's mother such a mysterious person... and she feels like someone I know. Who is she again?

Upon arriving at Silphie's house, Loki first had little Silphie demonstrate the magic she had learned the day before, after which Loki once again displayed a speechless expression.

"Three geniuses have emerged from such a small village; I guess my knowledge is still too limited..."

Afterwards, Luo Qixi took Xilufei as her disciple. This was something that had been discussed last night. To the outside world, we will still be told that the three of us are disciples taught by Luo Qixi. It's not that Luo Qixi wants any kind of title, but that she is protecting us.

Not all magicians are as kind and righteous as Loki; in fact, darkness is the underlying nature of people at the highest levels of society in this world.

Luo Qixi's strength and personality are mismatched.

After all, if I were Loki and needed money, I'd just hire a few bandits or mountain bandits, wipe them out with magic from a distance, and then sneak in to collect the loot. Wouldn't that be faster money-making than being a teacher honestly?

After leaving home with Hilfi, the three of us little kids and the beautiful girl went to the big tree from last night, while Paul went to patrol the village.

A bright morning, a clear blue sky, green grass, and a gust of wind rustling the leaves.

Standing under the tree, gazing into the distance, the king was delighted by the beautiful scenery.

What a beautiful day! The world's future greatest magicians have all gathered here today. I, the King, feel the call of destiny. So be it!

Suddenly, he exuded an aura of authority, standing with his hands behind his back, his voice deep and solemn:

"I have seen it—a guidance from the stars, high above the heavens! Today is the day when our destinies are intertwined by cause and effect."

A strange sound came from behind, coming from Luo Qixi's boots.

Are you trying to break the shoes with your toes?

"Where do stars come from during the day...?"

Wang glanced back. Luo Qixi immediately shut up.

The solemn voice rang out once more: "By the shadow of the abyss, by the light of the heavens, we, Trevor Grellat, Rudius Grellat, and Sylphiet, today, before the search for the forbidden witch, pledge an eternal covenant—our will is not bound by worldly conventions; our path will surely lead to the other side of the source of magic!"

King Wang, arms crossed, walked up to the stunned Rudius, gazing at him intently, and declared once more: "I am the shadow incarnation who walks between day and night, and I vow to protect this oath with the wisdom of the abyss. The path of thorns is my blade; forbidden arts are my shield. We share life and death, our magic originates from the same source—this oath is etched in the corridors of our souls!"

Finally realizing his purpose, Rudeus composed himself and solemnly swore: "I am a magical seeker pursuing truth, and I vow to nourish this oath with endless knowledge. Where the pages turn, that is our territory; where the incantations shine, that is our sword. Destinies intertwine, truth is sought together—this oath is etched into the torrent of time!"

The two kings then turned to look at the adorable little Sylphie. Sylphie was startled at first, but quickly recovered. With a resolute expression, she echoed the oath: "Me too!"

That's good. Although they are still immature, they already have the courage to walk alongside us.

After taking the oath, he then faced Loki.

Perhaps inspired by the three people's beliefs, or perhaps it was simply their nature, Luo Qixi took a deep breath and also became a witness to this vow:

"From this moment on—shadow, truth, and life intertwine, and the Tricolor Demon Star descends!"

In times of distress, magic resonates; in times of crisis, souls unite.

Even if time and space are overturned and the laws are broken, this alliance will never be broken—until the end of the abyss, until the other side of the origin!

The ceremony is now complete.

After racking her brains to deliver her cringeworthy speech, Luo Qixi thought to herself, "...What on earth was I saying?"

The king rejoiced at this bond.

The three brothers from Buena village embraced each other:

"Second brother! Third brother!"

"Big brother! Third brother!"

"Big brother... second brother..."

"Your third brother is a girl..."
