Chapter 380: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family

275. The Secret of Mount Ariela (4)

Baron Hexen fled the scene under the protection of his mercenaries after the sudden explosion.

You have to avoid being caught on the scene while there are guys who might have caught wind of something.

There are plenty of excuses to make, but it’s better to prepare for the one-of-a-kind event.

Baron Hexen is quite a cool-headed and well-prepared person. The fact that he has tied Selina up so that she cannot escape is part of that personality.

However, at this very moment, he was completely unaware of the being chasing him, jumping around on the tree.

‘The explosion, did the monsters come back? No, the probability is low.’

While Baron Hexen was lost in thought, one of the mercenaries requested a brief pause.

“Baron, I think we’ve made enough distance. Let’s pause for a moment and contact the guys on the scene.”

“Hmm. Let’s do that.”

“Jack, I’ll take over the communication so keep an eye out for the surroundings.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

One mercenary looked around, and another made contact.

A voice soon leaked out from the communication hole.

-This is the scene of an explosion. Based on our investigation, it appears to have been an explosive trap.

“Explosion trap?”

The word “explosion trap” made Baron Hexen tense.

Why would something this scary explode at this point?

-It seems that a previously installed trap that was lost has exploded.

But that also seems to be true.

Otherwise, something like an explosive trap wouldn’t go off at this point.

‘Let’s think positively.’

In fact, Mount Ariela has virtually lost interest from people due to its undetectable location.

Because it is no longer detectable.

Since he was the only one who had permission to come here, it probably wouldn’t be a big deal.

But that was only for a moment.

-And here’s an additional report. I heard that another investigation team entered the mountain earlier.

“Investigation team?”

Baron Hexen finally couldn’t stand it anymore and asked for the communication crystal ball.

“Tell me more.”

Additional investigation team.

Of course I thought they were the only ones there.

-According to the investigation team at the entrance, they are Academy students.

“Academy students?”

-Yes. I heard it’s led by a young master named Dane Sogres.

Dane Sogres.

Baron Hexen’s mouth opened slightly as he heard a name he had never expected, or rather, the name of a family he had never imagined.

Count Sogres.

Along with the Duke of Termion, isn’t it the best family in the Empire?

Why the children of that family?

-They say the daughter of the Duke of Termion is also there.

“… … .”

There are mountains beyond mountains.

Why on earth?

Why the children of such a huge family?

It’s even stranger because the family didn’t send anyone directly.

-The reason is exploration… … I don’t know much about it. Is it perhaps a hobby of nobles and noblemen?

At those words, Baron Hexen’s eyes lit up.

Yeah, a hobby.

Even the opponents are children of great families.

Money will rot, so what can’t you do?

‘They’re kids anyway.’

If you just let it go after teasing it a little, it won’t be a hassle.

If you act cocky… … .

Of course, it’s difficult to just give up, so we’ll have to think of another way.

“How much is it?”

-It looks like it’s about eight years old.

There are so many of them, it’s disgusting.

Looking at the number of people, it seems like they came to the West to play, full of a sense of adventure… … .

“It doesn’t matter. Keep your guard up. Return to your original position. But be sure to look around more thoroughly.”

-Is there any possibility?

Communication was cut off, and Baron Hexen sighed.

It’s a new headache, but what can you do?

An expedition consisting of children of noble families.

It’s a completely unexpected variable, but it doesn’t mean it will be very difficult.

Dane Sogres is said to be a genius whose name is heard even in this remote corner of the western countryside… … .

After all, they are kids.

Baron Hexen thought so.

* * *

‘I guess I was fooled. And… …I wonder if Senior Dane has made a move by now?’

And Benatio, who was seeing and hearing all this, curled the corners of his mouth.

Even if I think about it myself, this group doesn’t make sense.

An ‘exploration team’ comprised of two children from two great families.

In fact, if you think about it, it’s a combination that will cause chaos and be treated well wherever they go.

So it is not surprising that Baron Hexen thinks so casually.

But you got it wrong.

If it’s a Dane senior you know, he’d probably be moving by now.

‘Then… … I guess we just have to capture Baron Hexen.’

Dane told them to secure Baron Hexen’s men while pursuing him, if necessary.

It seems likely that the purpose is to hand it over to Pecs or something.

I think the same way.

Baron Hexen’s current actions pose a great threat to the Empire.

No matter how remote or deserted the West may be, it is clearly imperial territory.

We can’t just leave alone someone who’s trying to ruin our biggest city.

‘Now that we’ve caught that wizard, there’s going to be plenty of evidence… … and we’ve got mercenaries, too.’

Mercenaries are really good guys for investigating cases.

Those who will do anything for money, on the other hand, risk their lives for things that don’t make money.

Rather than keeping your mouth shut and risking your neck flying off, you should just quietly blow it all out.

“Oh, and Selina?”

“Should I contact the guys in charge of your escort?”

“So be it.”

But Baron Hexen soon had to realize:

Things that I tried to ignore started to turn out strangely.

“… … The communication isn’t working?”

“Let’s try again.”

“I’ve already tried twice. Our mercenary group’s iron rule is to receive all communications.”

“… … Is there a possibility that the communication equipment is damaged?”

The mercenary shook his head, and Baron Hexen became serious.

“What the hell… … .”

A possibility was emerging in Baron Hexen’s mind.

By any chance, did you betray me?

And then, a shadow fell over Baron Hexen’s head.

* * *

From Selina’s perspective, it may be a betrayal, but from our perspective, it is a grateful act that saves us a lot of trouble.

Because I really found a crack.

They say it specializes in detection, but who would have thought they would have found this even though they used equipment?

Selina also told me about Baron Hexen.

“The mine is losing value, so I was looking for something that could save my family, and here I found this power.”

“Actually, I found it out and reported it to Baron Hexen. At the time, it was just a regular research report at best.”

Then, Baron Hexen must have seen the research report and decided that the power within it would be helpful to himself and his family.

“That was a year ago. Since then, I have been coming here and started taking measurements with the equipment I made, and the results have been as expected.”

“Then it even promoted it and influenced Pecs.”

“that’s right.”

His voice was calm, but his eyes were trembling.

Perhaps, the moment the truth comes out, it would not be an exaggeration to sentence him to death, at least in Pecs.

“Will you believe me now?”

But the wizard seemed oddly uninterested in his own death.

“Okay. Trust me. Let’s go back.”

“yes?”

So I untied the strings that bound Selina’s hands.

“Hey, walk at least 300 steps and then take the blindfold off.”

“but.”

“If we stay here like this, we’ll be suspected.”

“… … .”

“It’s not too late. If you say that there was a brief attack and that you fainted and then woke up, things will work out somehow.”

Selina seemed a little surprised by what I said.

“I, I want to get away from Baron Hexen… … If I go back like this, I… … .”

Only then did my true feelings come out.

So I immediately made another offer.

“Then, when you go back, think about what you’re going to say when you report this in the future.”

“then…….”

“There may be room for consideration.”

If this comes to a successful conclusion, Baron Hexen will find it difficult to escape guilt.

And the same goes for Selina, who helped Baron Hexen, whether she liked it or not.

However, if you become the most powerful witness to what Baron Hexen did, the story will be different.

“thank you.”

“There’s nothing to be thankful for.”

“No, really. If I had left it like that, I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life.”

It’s not “thank you for saving my life”, but the other side’s response that is impressive.

“I will stop Baron Hexen from coming this way.”

“As you wish.”

It won’t be needed anyway.

By the time Selina arrived, Venatio would have taken care of everything.

“Can I really send it?”

“Yeah. It doesn’t matter.”

I looked at Selina as she answered Jenna’s question and left.

He is a unique person, although he has helped us.

Who would have thought that he was the one who caused such a big problem and then actually tried to fix it?

Well, I can’t say I completely trust it, but at least it makes our job easier.

“Dane, are you going inside now?”

I flinched at Leila’s question that I heard then.

“That’s right. Either go inside and destroy the power, put it to sleep, or… … .”

Whether drunk or not.

Any solution would make the city of Pecs safer.

Of course, that wasn’t the original purpose.

“Is there really a dragon lair inside?”

“There might be a dragon.”

“If that power is a dragon… … will we all die?”

“Teachers, can you do something about Mr. Dane?”

Originally we came here to explore.

Anything related to Pecs is an additional element.

As for Baron Hexen, Venatio will probably take care of it.

There were a few mercenaries, but they didn’t seem to be any match for Venatio.

“Dane, I can’t go in. In fact, I feel a little dizzy just by being near it.”

In the midst of this, Priscilla shook her head and declared that she would voluntarily give up.

That’s worth it.

There, the magical power flowing out of the crack was considerable.

However, it seems to be a different type of magic from the ancient magic I possess.

“Then, Mr. Dane, I will stay and watch the surroundings together.”

Dorian is good at beating around the bush by saying that he is worried about Priscilla.

“I’m fine.”

“It’s okay. I’m still sweating profusely.”

Actually, Priscilla must be in quite a difficult situation right now.

So, what, Dorian deserves it.

Since Benatio will be back here too, Priscilla doesn’t have to worry.

“What about the rest?”

No answer came back.

Because everyone took their gear as if it were a given.

“good.”

I approached the crack.

The gap between the cracks is very small.

But if I pour my magic into this-

Kookung!

Slowly, very slowly, it begins to react and the points of cracking become visible.

“Karnas. Are you okay?”

“Ugh… Ugh!”

Now what we need is the Flame of Karnas.

Although he was weak, Karnas stuck his head out of my arms as if to tell me not to worry and opened his mouth.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

And the sparks shoot out.

The moment I touched the crack, the inside finally began to reveal itself.

At first glance, the first thing you see inside is the color of the grass and the shape of the tree stumps, which look different from the environment here.

Is it because I’ve been isolated for a long time?

We’ll have to go inside to find out for sure.

“Let’s go in.”

The cracks have the power to heal themselves, and the wide gaps slowly begin to narrow.

We have finally entered the undetectable zone.

To be exact-

Into an unknown space that had been isolated from the outside world for a very long time.
