Chapter 378: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family

275. The Secret of Mount Ariela (2)

Baron Hexen.

A nobleman who owns a small estate in the West.

There is nothing particularly noteworthy,

If I had to say anything special, it would be that they are a relatively wealthy family that owns a mine that they inherited from their ancestors?

However, that mine is where the ore called ‘Meriless’, which is the main material and core of magic stones, is mined.

“The group that passed by here earlier is said to be doing something near the area that is currently unexplorable.”

Doing something.

How should we interpret the correlation between having the Merrill mine and finding this Ariella mountain?

While he was thinking about such things, the Druid unfortunately continued speaking in a weary voice.

“It will be difficult to maintain the doctrine any longer. I have conveyed the thoughts, so ask the necromancer himself.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a human body, and it’s been a new experience. Please, allow the demons to return.”

I was a little surprised by that last remark.

From a druid’s perspective, monsters are also a type of nature.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the ecosystem that has been maintained for a long time is in danger of being destroyed due to the escape of monsters.

“Okay, let’s find out the cause.”

“Thank you.”

So the order was lifted, and Jenna returned, flying high in the sky.

“Whew. At least I’m glad you didn’t throw a tantrum. You were a quiet soul.”

“great job.”

“What’s the big deal? I’ll explain from now on!”

Jenna’s eyes sparkled.

“First of all, it seems like Baron Hexen’s group is installing some kind of equipment near the unexplorable area.”

“equipment?”

“Yeah. I don’t know exactly what it is, but it’s pretty big. It’s about the size of several human torsos put together? I think they probably brought it in disassembled.”

Judging from the fact that he brought his equipment, it looks like he’s planning to do something.

“What else?”

“There are mercenaries guarding the area.”

“They are mercenaries.”

If they even brought mercenaries, it definitely feels like they’re preparing for something.

Is it a preparation for a simple monster, or is it a preparation for something else?

When leading a group, you have to consider many different scenarios.

“Senior, I will go first and take a look.”

It was Benatio’s suggestion.

Did you feel the need to do something?

Instead of accepting, I added a clue.

“Go with Ernest. Ernest, find out if there are any traps along the way. Especially the alarm system.”

“Okay. Leave it to me. Let’s go, Venatio.”

It’s still hard to completely trust the guy.

Of course, I don’t think there’s any other intention, but it’s better to stick with Ernest anyway.

It would also be easier to observe that way.

After I confirmed that Benatio and Ernest were moving right away, I lowered my head and observed Carnas.

He still looks weak, but his eyes are bright.

“Kkuruk?”

Anyway, guy.

I hope you find something inside.

Before that, we need to find out the intentions of Baron Hexen, who arrived first.

“Let’s move soon too.”

Of course, quietly.

* * *

Mount Ariela.

Near the unexplorable area.

To be exact, it is the point where the ‘abnormal phenomenon’ of going around and returning to the same place begins.

There was a group of people there.

“The wave has been detected once again.”

“Record it. What is the intensity?”

“Our standard is around 6.4. If we continue like this, we will probably reach 8 within a month.”

“What is the expected phenomenon?”

“The intensity of sandstorms will increase by about twice as much as they are now.”

“Pex will be completely buried in the sand.”

The man who casually says such terrifying words that would terrify the people of Pecs is Baron Hexen.

He was looking at the measurement figures with a very indifferent expression.

“But 8 isn’t enough.”

A tone of speech that doesn’t really care if a city gets buried under a pile of sand.

“How long will it take to get to number 9?”

“About two months.”

“It promotes.”

The woman who had received Baron Hexen’s orders flinched.

“But then the flow of magic in this area would be completely broken, and unexpected phenomena could occur.”

“Is that all?”

“yes?”

“Even if that strange phenomenon happens, it’s in the middle of nowhere anyway. There’s nowhere to see except Pecs anyway.”

“… … .”

“Pex has been slowly drying up and dying over the past year anyway. No one would question it being caught in a sandstorm now.”

The woman shuddered and trembled.

It’s not about imagining what will happen in the future.

The citizens of Pecs are estimated to number in the tens of thousands.

I couldn’t understand Baron Hexen, who spoke so nonchalantly while they were all buried in the sand and suffocating.

“Aren’t you going to follow?”

“……I am.”

“Remember who took you in after you were kicked out of the Tower.”

The woman could not answer that question.

A person who saved his life, but at the same time makes him only follow orders now.

Even if it is an unjust order.

“Don’t you know? You have to take away the power you sense within this, Selina.”

“But, Baron, this power… … may be uncontrollable.”

The sorceress called Celinara knew instinctively.

Now, the power of this force is being detected and it is constantly causing waves.

It is a power that is beyond imagination, a power that neither he nor any other living person has ever experienced.

Baron Hexen is now trying to awaken such unprecedented power.

Just… … .

To save his family business.

-You probably don’t know how angry I was at the previous owners who were content to live off of just this one mine.

A man should know his place.

This mine alone is enough.

It’s a remote western town, but it’s still a decent place to live.

Moderately, this is best.

Words that Baron Hexen has heard since childhood, until his ears burst.

“I will make it controlled.”

As it turned out, Baron Hexen did not want to miss out on a life-changing opportunity.

The Merrills Mine, where people can live comfortably with just one mine.

But Baron Hexen was not satisfied.

Two Merrills mines have been discovered recently.

Naturally, the price of Meryleth fell, and one day this family that depended solely on the Meryleth mine would go bankrupt.

“… … .”

Selina realized once again that she couldn’t stop him.

It would have been better if they hadn’t notified us when they detected this wave.

“Keep sensing. Once you figure out how to stimulate it, you can start tomorrow at the latest.”

The detection of the wave was purely coincidental.

That coincidence created the current situation.

“If you have any hesitation, throw it away. It’s already too late.”

Baron Hexen’s deep voice sweeps over Selina’s ears.

Selina was kicked out of the tower.

A very common power struggle.

It’s my fault for taking the wrong line at the Antalion Tower.

Then, he was caught and blamed for his actions.

It was Baron Hexen who took Selina in.

‘Is there really no way?’

I just followed Baron Hexen’s words because I was grateful to him… … .

If this continues and this wave becomes more powerful, the sandstorm blowing in from the western desert will completely destroy Pecs.

And is that all?

Will this sandstorm end here?

The desert is getting bigger and bigger.

In response to this wave of force, sandstorms intensify and the surrounding land becomes lifeless.

If this continues, not just one-third of the western terrain, but the entire region will be covered in desert… … .

‘What should I do?’

While Selina was lost in thought, Baron Hexen approached the mercenaries.

“Report the situation.”

“There is nothing unusual, Baron.

“Don’t let a single bug come near here.”

“yep,”

The mercenaries lit a fire and looked around at Baron Hexen’s words.

However, the two who were actually camouflaged in the tree right above them could not be seen.

“Is this disguise really effective?”

“It’ll work, Senior Ernest.”

“That’s strange. It’s another disguise for Dane. Dane is completely invisible, but you’re barely visible.”

“It feels good to be compared to my senior.”

A whisper that was buried in the sound of leaves rustling in the wind and inaudible to the mercenaries below.

“But what are you doing?”

“Recording.”

“Aren’t you uncomfortable?”

“I learned techniques that allow me to take notes and write records in any position.”

“Oh. I guess you’d like Dane too.”

At those words, Benatio’s eyes widened.

“Does Senior Dane like me?”

“If you take her around, she must at least likes you.”

“ah…….”

Benatio’s moved expression.

Suddenly, that thought occurred to me.

When I write my report later, I can write, ‘Actually, what Dane Sogres likes is Venatio Grun.’

Of course, I soon realized that it was a ridiculous idea and focused on surveillance again.

“Look. The equipment is still measuring something.”

“The danger doesn’t seem that great yet.”

“But do you see something?”

“Yes, definitely.”

And now Benatio was looking at something different from Ernest.

To be exact, unlike Ernest who was focused on the measuring equipment, he was looking at Selina who was absorbed in something in front of the equipment.

“… … .”

Selina.

The Counterintelligence Corps keeps track of every registered magician in the Empire.

Selina is one of them.

It’s been about a year and a half since I was kicked out of the Antalion Tower.

Later, I learned that Baron Hexen hired him as a personal wizard.

‘I guess an update is needed.’

What are they doing there?

Ernest’s question is heard at that moment.

“Benatio, does the measuring equipment look strange?”

“I guess so. Hmm… … It seems to measure something, but it’s something I’ve never seen before.”

Benatio searched his memory and recalled Selina’s appearance.

Selina Aust.

Although he was a commoner, he was a wizard with considerable talent in detection magic.

However, he is a wizard who was unable to join the mainstream and was eventually kicked out of the magic tower.

‘So, was that device developed by Selina?’

That was the extent of the idea.

Suddenly, Benatio had that thought.

Selina is strong in detection magic.

then?

Whoosh.

Selina’s head suddenly turned then.

To be exact, I was looking at the tree under which Benatio and Ernest were hiding.

‘This is a big deal.’

Benatio realized that Selina was up to something.

“Senior, get ready.”

“huh?”

“We will attack this way.”

“… … .”

Ernest seemed frightened for a moment, but nodded calmly.

If you move rashly, you will be attacked.

Benatio pulled several very small assassination knives from his bosom.

‘How many can I send?’

What if I jump down like this, throw my sword, and then draw two daggers and fight him?

I don’t know the level of those mercenaries, but I’ll take at least three or four of them.

In the meantime, if Ernest supports you with his bow from the tree, five or six will be enough.

The problem is that sorceress, Selina.

‘There is no room to open subspace.’

If you open subspace now, you will definitely be caught by the subspace opening reaction.

Considering the time it takes to get it out there, the meaning of a surprise attack disappears.

Meanwhile, Selina stopped fiddling with her equipment and sat up.

A decision must be made.

It was at that moment, amid such worries, that Benatio finally prepared to jump.

bang!

A loud noise can be heard not far away.

“It’s the enemy!”

“Is it magic!??

“Everyone over there!”

Benatio thought of one person, along with the fact that his worries were of little consequence.

“Senior, you came at just the right time.”

“How can you do that without even sending a signal?”

“That’s what I mean.”

It was Dane.
