He Was Reincarnated as The Greatest Talent Genius of The Famous Family - Chapter 184

I was reincarnated as an all-time talented genius of a famous family Chapter 184
122. What’s your status?
We prepared more thoroughly than when we went to the north.
Camping supplies and exploration equipment were meticulously packed as spares, and food was also taken in such a large amount that I wondered if this was a bit too much.
“Shall I take this too?”
“Put as much dry food as you can. It will be difficult to light a fire in the mountains.”
In the north, they fought the harsh cold.
But there were no people, and thanks to that, I was able to light a fire to my heart’s content.
But mountains will be different.
We must avoid the rangers, so we must not leave our mark.
Since we shouldn’t even leave a smell as much as possible, we also carefully selected foods with preservation magic.
“I think the stew smells too much. I’ll just go for beef jerky.”
“How about salted meat? This looks fine too.”
And in this regard, Delward was of great help.
“This is better than that equipment. The mountain is steep, but the ground is soft, so if you put an anchor in it, it will come right off.”
“For dry food, take care of things that give you a sense of fullness. Probably because you have to eat like that in the mountains. You can’t move when you’re hungry?”
Delward’s knowledge had been considerably enriched by years of out-of-doors. Thanks to that, he and Ernest seemed to fit pretty well.
“I heard that you are in the Department of Exploration, so you know a little bit? Did you say Baron Dylan?”
“Yes, brother!”
“Layla has many good friends. The scion of a famous explorer. How’s the baron? I think I saw you once when I was younger.”
And again, he was a kind person.
Enough to understand why Leila missed her so much.
In the midst of this, a communication came from Edward.
-Dane, I found out that there is something similar to ‘ruins’ within the mountain range as you said. I couldn’t get a detailed report, but I was able to figure out the location and entrance.
Quite surprising.
This alone is a great harvest.
If I hadn’t, I would have spent quite a bit of time gathering information before entering the mountain range, or if that didn’t work, I would have almost searched the mountain range myself.
“That is enough.”
I should have asked you a little earlier.
I was debating whether to look through the book, find an experienced person, or hire a guide.
“Closed… … no thank you Lowering.”
– Thank you. Considering the help I received from you, this is easier than cutting meat. Oh, of course, after my hand is healed.
Edward’s joke made me laugh.
The very fact that it helped me seems genuinely happy.
-Oh, recently I started practicing with the wooden sword you gave me. Sir Ornette said so. The center of gravity is very well set and the build quality is good, so you can use it very well until you wield the real sword properly.
“You can use it as a substitute for a club. If you are in a hurry.”
-Haha, I’m thinking of sparring with this to my heart’s content when I say that it will never break.
After a chat, we went back to the main topic.
-good. Oh, and according to the ranger-born knight, he couldn’t go any further from the entrance of the ruins.
“Are there other reasons?”
-hmm… … I went through the entrance, but they said it was a dead end.
It’s a dead end road.
It might be a real dead end, or it might look like a dead end but there might be something hidden.
-And again, they told me to be careful of monsters in the mountains. In particular, the ‘Dranius’ that inhabits the ruins are said to be a threat. Even the Rangers are reluctant to face it alone.
Dranius.
I’ve seen it.
It is a monster in the form of a gigantic lizard, and thanks to its large size, it is a hunter who boasts tremendous strength and knows how to ‘camouflage’ to suit the surrounding environment.
It is said that they couldn’t live on the plains, so they only lived on the mountainside after being brought in from the Demon Realm.
Afterwards, Edward shared a few more facts that he found quite fruitful.
And finally… … .
-You know, but… … You are not going to the mountains. I was just asking out of curiosity.
“of course.”
begged me to
It has many meanings, but there are probably two main ones.
One is the concern about the possibility of developing into a political problem.
And the other… … .
-I know you don’t have to worry about me, but this time it’s a little different. Please come back safely.
“Don’t worry, low.”
-okay. And if you ever run into problems… … my one promise I will protect you even at the risk of my position.
This is strong.
To think that the lower prince would protect him.
“It’s just disheartening.”
So this time I had no choice but to answer like this.
Edward probably knew that too, and when he heard the word retaliatory play, he wasn’t particularly blunt.
-Please explore the ruins and hope you get what you want. Then Layla’s expression will become brighter.
By the way, Edward also knows what we take risks for.
So maybe you want to help more.
I probably want to go with you, but… … .
Right now, this help alone is overflowing and sufficient.
It wouldn’t be an easy task to give this kind of help as a prince.
also… … Even as a friend.
“I’ll see you when I get back. Or, see you on the east side.”
– I will.
After finishing the communication like that, while I was organizing my thoughts, Layla quietly approached me.
“Have you finished communicating with the prince?”
“huh. I knew quite a few things. I found the location of the ruins, and I also found the entrance. I’ll have to go see it myself, but maybe… … .”
As I was about to continue my explanation, Layla suddenly spoke.
“Thank you, Dane. For working so hard.”
I was fed up with those words.
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“You may think so, but… … I am not.”
Leila grinned.
“Now I can imagine. Mother wakes up, little brother comes back and we all eat together like before.”
After all, he’s a strong guy.
At such a young age, it is amazing that he has endured without revealing too much.
so… … .
“I will make that dream a reality.”
Now is the time to really do it.
“Thank you, really.”
I nodded, looking at Layla’s tear-stained face.
* * *
We finally set off.
I decided to use the teleport platform to reach the city near the capital.
But from then on, I had to follow the road to the mountains.
The higher you go towards the mountain range, the less developed the city is, and that is why there are many places where the platform has not been installed.
This time, even my older sister couldn’t help.
A place like Demaras was lucky enough to use the existing facilities, but there were many cities and territories on the mountainside that were so underdeveloped that they couldn’t do that.
Above all, the teleport platform is highly likely to be used militarily, so it is said that it is quite difficult to install a new one, unless there is one already installed.
Anyway, after using the last platform for one reason or another, we were now driving with horses.
“Pu hee hee hee.”
And Chiron seemed in a very good mood.
Come to think of it, is this guy’s first time to come out and run to his heart’s content like this?
“Dane, that sounds great. I’ve only heard rumors, but seeing it in reality, I can’t even deal with a lot of words.”
Delward was very impressed.
Not to mention, Chiron is big enough to make the horses the other guys ride look like ponies.
With a guy like this running amok, how hard it must have been to be the stable keeper of the imperial palace.
Ah, Cassard the Forest Keeper.
For some reason, when I went to pick up Chiron earlier, he made an expression as if he had lost a tooth.
“Your stamina must be very good.”
“Puhihing.”
To my words, Chiron reacts as if it were natural.
“haha. It seems to understand people.”
Anyway, Chiron’s stamina will be of great help in his future journey.
Of course, since I’m not moving alone, I have to set my pace, but it’s much better than having bad stamina.
“Five days to the mountains… … If you run at intervals and adjust your pace while resting, it should be six days at most.”
Five to six days to go.
And in between camps and stops at cities and estates, we let the horses eat and rest, and we also take a break together.
No matter how subspace there is, there is a limit to the total amount that goes into it, and the amount of food the horses eat is no joke.
In the meantime, it would be good for us to lie down in bed and rest.
Because of this, there are no rough or difficult roads along the way.
but… … .
“There are often stories about the security of the fort. It was devastated as expected in the aftermath of the war, but since it was not restored, the number of thieves increased.”
As Delward said, security is not good, so you need to be careful.
You can deal with any number of bandits, but it’s also important to avoid unnecessary fights.
Because our goals are different.
“Even monsters should be careful. Especially in plains and forests where people are hard to find.”
Layla’s words were taken by Delward.
“If you don’t know if it’s the capital or major grain belts after the war, there are still quite a few places that are out of control. Some places are dominated by strange religious groups, and some cities are occupied by mercenaries.”
It seems that he has seen and heard a lot about Delward while wandering around.
“Anyway, you have to be careful. Still, it’ll be fun in its own way. while going. Are there too many people?”
Leila tilted her head.
“why?”
“There is no fun at all if you go around alone. I can’t stand the boundary between shifts, so I’m very nervous. How hard it is to set up an alarm every day and fall asleep with only the embers barely left… … sorry.”
Delward, who had been talking about difficult things without thinking, shut his mouth.
He had forgotten that he was talking about Leila.
“That hardship… … I hope it will end with this one.”
“Yeah, that’s right. ha ha ha.”
Delward laughed awkwardly, and Layla sighed.
well, it will be fine
It’s been like this until now, and I’ve prepared a lot for this time too.
More than anything, I’m curious.
The identity of the ruins with Roxina’s Tears.
I wasn’t expecting that there would be an ancient magic concentration, I was just looking forward to seeing something new.
do you know
The ruins might have something to do with the ancient magical kingdom of Arcana, as we encountered in the north a while ago.
Anyway, that’s how we camped the first day.
“Put the holding pin in there, okay. Let’s check the foundation.”
“Perfect. If we do this, even if a storm hits, it won’t collapse.”
“Ernest, are you doing quite well?”
“Hehe, older brother is doing better.”
No one asked for it, but thanks to Delward and Ernest who gave it to me, I was able to rest quite comfortably.
It’s a bonus that the two of them look good together.
Anyway, thanks to that, I was able to sleep comfortably without any problems, and we moved on the next day as scheduled.
“Now, if we go a little further, we will arrive at the Marquis of Eliba.”
“Wouldn’t it be a little annoying if it was the Marquis’s command?”
Delward responded to Ernest’s words as if it were natural.
“So, if possible, you should sneak through. Pretending to be a traveler. If our identities are revealed, there will probably be an uproar.”
First of all, just me, Delward, and Layla will go into any territory and there will be an emergency.
They are the offspring of two powerful aristocrats in the empire, but which noble in the world would just stand by?
I don’t know if I don’t know, but I’m going to try to treat you with the housekeeping that I don’t know, so it doesn’t match our current situation at all.
“You just have to go naturally. Everyone who knows will recognize it, but no one will bother to ask.”
All it takes is for the horses to eat hay and rest for a while.
In the meantime, I can’t help but draw attention, but it won’t be a long time.
However, from the moment we approached the Marquis of Eliba, something happened.
“Why is the state of the territory like this?”
Priscilla was the first to react.
“what’s the matter?”
“The atmosphere inside is terrible. Something very different.”
be heterogeneous
I don’t know about that, but I do know that the atmosphere at first glance inside looks strangely hideous.
“Why are people running around in such a group?”
People who can handle magical powers were stunned to roughly grasp the sight seen from afar.
there’s something strange about it.
“First of all, since we need hay to feed the horses, it would be good for at least one person to come.”
I got off my horse once.
“I think it’s best if everyone waits because it will attract attention if there are several people.”
“That’s right. Dane and I go… … .”
It was at the time Delward had said so.
“I’ll be there. Something is strange. I guess I’ll have to go and see for myself to be sure. I guess this feeling is strange.”
Priscilla stepped forward and said she would come with me.
it’s a sense
“What are you talking about?”
“I can’t exactly explain it. but it’s weird Can’t you guys feel it?”
I know the atmosphere is grim.
But I don’t know if the ‘feeling’ is strange.
wait.
Because Priscilla is from the Divine Faculty… … .
Maybe we’re the only ones feeling what we can’t feel.
“Then shouldn’t we go further, teachers?”
“You have a Dane.”
Priscilla showed strong faith.
“that’s right. You have to go and get some hay. You have to squeeze it tightly into the sub-space.”
It takes at least three days to reach the next city.
But to go back the way they came, they end up the same way.
Go and feed the horses hay, and by this time the hay will run out again.
But it’s taking too long to walk without talking…
“Well, if there is a problem, just solve it. is not it?”
In the end, you don’t have to think for a long time to go in and come out.
“It’s also Dane.”
Priscilla smiled knowingly.
