Chapter 377: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family

275. The Secret of Mount Ariela (1)

Pecs’s investigation team brought back some more useful information.

“There’s a path leading inward, so if you just follow it, it won’t be too hard. Well, since they’re all Academy students, if they use magic powers, it’ll feel like taking a walk.”

To the pioneer.

Confirmed.

“It’s unlikely, but if you get stranded, eat the fruit from different trees carefully. If you eat it wrong, you could get poisoned.”

“All right.”

“And… … there are often traps set by hunters, so it would be best to avoid them. This too should be fine as long as you just follow the path.”

It’s a trap, don’t worry.

Ernest will find out for himself.

The key was this:

“The danger has decreased since the monsters disappeared, but the terrain is very rough. In particular, it is best not to look at the third peak. Sometimes, people climb it to conquer it, but nine out of ten fall to their deaths while climbing. The remaining one falls to their death while coming down.”

The third peak.

I’m curious because you said it’s dangerous.

I’ve climbed a few times in my past lives, but I don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance to climb it.

Because we’re going to see unexplored areas.

I asked while I was at it.

“I heard there are areas that cannot be marked on the map.”

“Ah. Now it seems everyone who should know knows. There is. There will be a sign about halfway up the pioneer road. If you go up the path north from there, you will feel something strange.”

“What does it feel like to be strange?”

“It’s literally true. It’s like spinning around and then coming to your senses and finding yourself back where you were? Even people who have explored dozens of times have barely managed to figure that out.”

To that extent, it seems clear that something magical was at work.

“I’ll give you a brief explanation since you seem to know. The wizards have been here several times because of that matter. They definitely suspected that there was something magical about it.”

“And yet the secret hasn’t been revealed until now… … .”

“No one got any results. Everyone just guessed. Some wizards even ran away in panic.”

I’m in total confusion.

“It was as if… … he was terrified. When I asked him why, he said he didn’t know, that he didn’t know why he was feeling that way.”

The smell seems to be getting stronger.

The fear of wizards.

Althurna, maybe I should do that too?

“That’s why wizards don’t come anymore. They’ve been to the famous magic tower several times, but the results were the same. Since they all failed, it seems like they don’t have the courage to investigate any further.”

That’s worth it.

This is a far place from the capital.

There is no reason to bother with this place.

“Anyway, be careful. They seem to be children of noble families, so it would be a good idea to go back before something bad happens.”

It was a strong request, but I shook my head.

“Thank you for your concern. Okay.”

“Good luck.”

So we parted ways with the investigation team and finally entered Mount Ariela.

“It’s definitely different.”

As soon as you step inside, you can definitely feel the flow of magical power.

The other guys are still at a level of distortion that cannot be felt, except for Althur.

It’s not that the distortion is weak, but rather that the feeling itself is not felt.

“Dane, this is definitely weird.”

“Right? It’s centered somewhere.”

Althurdo is a well-known talent in the magic field.

Because that’s what Seedrain evaluated.

A subtle distortion that even a guy like that can barely feel if he comes inside.

“You felt it from the outside.”

“What are you doing, comparing yourself to me all the time while being so jealous?”

“That’s because it makes you jealous.”

Anyway, we started walking along the pioneer trail as the investigation team had told us.

The mountain was strangely quiet.

They say all the monsters have disappeared, and thanks to that, there are no strange sounds or unpleasant sensations.

“Why did the monsters disappear?”

It was Ernest’s question.

Priscilla seemed to think for a moment, then answered.

“Um… … Usually, monsters leave their habitat in one of two ways.”

“What kind of farming is it?”

“The first is when the habitat is destroyed. Naturally, it is a difficult place to live and eat, and since the ecosystem is not maintained, the food chain is also destroyed.”

“But this mountain is fine, right?”

“So the second reason is more likely. Instinct.”

“instinct?”

“The instinct to avoid threats. A threat strong enough to make you leave your habitat. Same context as the first one, but different.”

I looked up at the dense forest at those words.

At first glance, it doesn’t seem like Priscilla’s first suggestion.

Well then, that’s the second story.

“A powerful threat.”

“So it’s really a dragon?”

“Kkiruk?!”

The other guys were terrified, Karnas let out a joyful howl, and I took a moment to reflect.

It’s a dragon.

Let’s go back again.

We analyzed the terrain based on Karnas’ ‘drawing’ and finally arrived at Mount Ariela.

And there are areas on Mount Ariela that cannot be explored.

There might be a dragon there, or a dragon’s nest, or something else.

But when I came here, I found that this unexplored area was causing more damage to the surrounding area than I had imagined.

To be exact, it’s just a guess… … .

“Let’s go for now. If anything seems strange on the way, we’ll consider getting off.”

“What if there’s a real dragon?”

“I’m sure Dane will figure it out.”

The last words were from Ernest.

If you look closely, I think these kids probably think I can stop all natural disasters.

Well, I’m not sure because I’ve never tried to block it.

I guess we’ll have to go there to find out for sure.

“By the way, you said earlier that Baron Hexen went first. Did he come knowing something like we did?”

Jenna’s worried voice was heard then.

Then Jenna suggested.

“Shall we try summoning a Druid?”

“Druid?”

I asked while everyone else was confused and questioning what I was saying.

“Friend of nature?”

“There is such a thing as tinnitus.”

Druid.

Beings who are born with an innate affinity for nature.

For reference, it is almost non-existent in Alteon.

Being targeted for oppression like the dwarves were.

Because he displayed his supernatural powers based on his affinity for nature, the Catholic Church treated him as a heretic.

“But how do you know, Dane? He’s been gone for quite some time.”

“In the book.”

Well, you could see it quite often in Drenique.

The Draenics did not persecute other races like the Alteons.

That doesn’t mean the treatment there was good either.

“Anyway, if I summon the soul of a hunter nearby, I can send the bird to scout out.”

“That’s useful. Necromancy, isn’t it really useful?”

Jenna shook her head at Ernest’s words.

“The spirit must be present in that location, and my duration is still short.”

“But where is that? You’ve built up a lot of stamina these days.”

Summon the Druids.

It’s an unexpected method.

“Okay. Let’s do it.”

Jenna was delighted by my words and immediately prepared to perform the necromancy.

And after a while.

“… … It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a human body. I thought I had returned to nature, but did I still have regrets about life?”

It’s a bit strange how the voice changes just by saying the platform.

“The owner of this body is a talented necromancer. Hmm. I don’t feel like rejecting him.”

Considering that the most difficult part of practicing necromancy is the battle for control over the spirits, Jenna is exceptionally talented.

Whee!

As she whistled, surprisingly, a falcon flew near Jenna.

The hawk landed lightly in front of Jenna.

Jenna, or rather the druid possessed by Jenna’s body, whispered to the falcon in a language we could not understand.

Then the falcon immediately flew up, and the Druid who was watching it added:

“You’ll hear from me soon.”

The druid seemed quite excited.

“I’ve seen so many people come here, but no one has ever called me.”

“Did you die here?”

“I was born here, and I died here. It’s been about three hundred years.”

Three hundred years.

“Then you must have seen and heard a lot here over the past three hundred years.”

“A lot. I’ve seen and heard a lot. It’s nothing compared to the history of the mountain, but I’ve seen a lot. Even the monsters running away a while ago.”

At those words, not only I but everyone’s eyes sparkled.

What is Jenna thinking when she sees this sight right now?

“If the monsters ran away, why?”

“I ran away in fear. It happened overnight.”

“Does this mean there’s something here that’s so scary that even monsters would tremble in fear?”

“I think so.”

I think so, La.

“Can you guess what it is?”

“You know, there is a place in this mountain that even our souls cannot go to.”

This soul doesn’t seem to know much either.

“But what is certain is that it was a wave of power powerful enough to affect our souls.”

It’s a wave of power.

“About a year ago, signs began to appear, and one by one, strange phenomena began to occur, until finally, a wave of power erupted, causing the monsters to flee. Several souls were also lost.”

There was a moment of silence at the mention of souls being lost.

At that moment, the voice of ‘Jenna’ was heard.

“Let me explain briefly.”

“Jenna?”

“We just switched the initiative for a moment.”

If you work hard, something like this becomes possible.

“This is probably the first time you’ve heard this story. The soul is not easily lost. The soul is made up of a spiritual body that cannot be reached by physical force.”

Soul, Jenna probably knows better.

In that sense, it’s a bit interesting.

“Of course, something magical is also unlikely to work. In almost all cases, only divine power can have an effect.”

However, it is difficult to believe that there is something sacred here.

After all, the reason is… … .

“Something transcendent that can influence the soul?”

“It’s likely, Dane.”

Then, the fact that it is a dragon becomes more and more clear.

In fact, the flames of Karnas are so powerful that even my older sister’s analysis has not been able to fully verify their power and effectiveness.

Even a simple flame spewed from the mouth has such powerful power, so what kind of being must it be?

“Kkuruk… … .”

In the midst of this, Karnas showed a strange reaction.

“Karnas?”

I lowered my head and looked into his arms, and Karnas raised his head weakly.

I thought there had been no response since a while ago.

“what’s the matter?”

“You look weak.”

I took out his favorite snack and put it in for him, but it’s still the same.

Of course, I received it well.

A guy who never turns down a snack, no matter the situation.

“Karnas, are you okay?”

“Kkuruk… … .”

“Are you getting weaker as time goes by?”

“Kkuruk… … .”

I think so.

The condition is not good.

“I might have to go back.”

“Kkuruk!”

Karnas shook his head violently at my muttering.

The response is that it absolutely cannot be done.

“If you do that, you might get into big trouble.”

“Kkuruk!”

Is this what it feels like when your child throws a tantrum?

“They say Karnas is really bad at it?”

It seems that Leila can see this too.

I was lost in thought for a moment because I was about to ask.

There is still quite a long way to go until we reach the unexplored area.

But if I go back like this, I have a feeling Karnas will resent me.

Above all, this is a place I came to because of Karnas’ ‘painting’.

“Karnas, if you think it’s serious, I’ll come down right away.”

That’s why I made a promise.

Exploration? Good.

Finding something unknown? Sounds good.

But nothing is more important than life.

“Ugh… Ugh.”

“Promise me.”

“Kkuruk… … .”

“good.”

The Druid looked at this sight with curiosity.

“What kind of creature is it? Even I don’t dare approach it.”

“There is only one of you in the world.”

“The one and only?”

It was at that moment that the Druid asked back with a puzzled expression.

-Beep!

A cry was heard, and the falcon that had been sent earlier returned and landed in front of the druid.

The Druid conversed in his usual mysterious language, and finally opened his mouth.
