Chapter 388: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
283. The moment of choice
The story has come to an end.
Dmitry decided to return to Pecs with us.
After meeting Professor Cross there, I’ll probably go north.
“Don’t worry. I’ll keep quiet about everything that happened here.”
“Why are you telling us that?”
“It’s a pledge. If I open my mouth, not only I but also my family will be in danger.”
The existence of dragons.
And countless studies have been accumulated over time.
All of these are things that anyone would want.
In that sense, it seems like the guy is only going to hand over the research materials to Professor Cross and us, and then live as if he were dead.
Well, how you live after that is your choice.
“And thank you. I guess it’s only now that I’ve told you.”
I chuckled at Dmitry’s words.
“You asked me to kill you earlier?”
“That is… … Even if I tell you, you won’t understand. What it feels like when you are free from thoughts.”
“I’m glad you came back quickly.”
The guy suddenly asked.
“But, what on earth did you do? What kind of being are you… to take on the power of a dragon?”
Dmitry then pointed to Karnas as well.
“Are you in a master-servant relationship with the dragon?”
“We’re friends.”
“That might explain it.”
“Aren’t dragons amazing?”
“I’m already so caught up in my old thoughts that I don’t find the existence itself particularly interesting. It’s just that I’m walking around with a dragon like that.”
Dmitry then pointed to the back of my hand.
“There, there’s strength in that left hand.”
“iced coffee.”
I raised my left hand.
To be exact, it’s the back of the hand.
In the process of helping Karnas absorb the power, some of the power seeped in here.
It was an unintended consequence, but I didn’t really have anything to stop it from seeping in, so I didn’t stop it when it did.
“Should I give it back?”
“If I had the strength to handle it, I would have done it a long time ago.”
“Well then, what?”
As I concentrate my magical power on my left hand, a change occurs on the back of my hand along with an alien sensation.
“wow.”
“Dane, what is that?”
The guys’ cries of amazement.
“The race hasn’t changed, has it?”
“No way.”
I looked at the back of my left hand.
It’s definitely scales.
And those golden scales too.
“What happened?”
“As you can see, I am gaining strength.”
“That’s amazing… … but I’m not surprised. Isn’t that how everyone is?”
“Well, because he’s Dane.”
I asked, to a reaction that was no longer particularly surprising.
“Was that dragon called Arigma golden?”
“It was red.”
“Then it’s not that dragon.”
These scales did not adhere to my skin.
To be exact, it is not that they sprout from the flesh, but rather that they are created with some distance between them.
I put the back of my hand against Karnas’s body and compared the scales.
The ending is a little different.
“Kkuruk?”
Karnas came closer and licked the scales on the back of my hand.
“how is it?”
“Kkuruk!”
It looks delicious.
“You said there was related research data. Has there been a case like this before?”
Then Althur asked Dmitry, and Dmitry shook his head even more violently than before.
“No way. This is unprecedented. It has never happened before and it will never happen again. It might be possible for this man’s descendants.”
So how many children should I have?
Well, let’s think about it later.
“How are you feeling?”
“The magic power doesn’t seem to have changed, but it’s not bad.”
In reality, the dragon’s magic power had no effect on my magic power.
However, it only gave me a small mark on the back of my hand and a new ability.
“Dragon scales are known to be the hardest in the world. Dragons shed their scales twice before they reach adulthood, and it is said that dragon scales that have shed their scales for the last time cannot be cut even with the sharpest sword.”
“Shall we give it a try?”
I pulled out my Arcanium sword without hesitation.
A sword that cuts anything.
Scales that can stop anything.
“Then the back of your hand will be cut off… … .”
“By the way, this cuts anything.”
“yes?”
I put away my sword, laughing at the sight of him looking astonished.
If you have nothing else to do later, you should try it.
Now is the time to go back.
“Dane!”
“Mr. Dane!”
“Senior!”
A familiar voice is heard then.
The guys who were outside came inside.
“I came inside after seeing that the barrier had disappeared. What happened?”
Ernest gave a rough and concise answer. Only then did Priscilla breathe a sigh of relief.
“I was a little scared this time. I couldn’t see inside at all. But the sight of the barrier suddenly disappearing was quite spectacular.”
“That’s right, Mr. Dane. As expected, you handled it well.”
“Thank you for your hard work, senior.”
Those guys had a hard time too.
The guy that Benatio had brought in, tied up tightly, was none other than Baron Hexen.
Should I be thankful?
Thanks to that, I was able to get in easily.
But that’s it.
If we had left this guy alone, Pecs would have been buried in the sand.
“That wizard, he never showed up again?”
“Yeah. I went.”
Selina.
I’m sure you’ll figure it out and live well.
At least he won’t return to Baron Hexen, and he won’t be able to exert any more influence here with the power he has.
“Should we hand this guy over to Pecs?”
“That’s right. If you let them know the situation, they’ll take care of it.”
The unconscious Baron Hexen shows no particular emotion.
Just do what you have to do.
The disposal of interest is the responsibility of Pecs, not us.
“Senior. These are items that were in Baron Hexen’s subspace.”
“The object that was in the subspace?”
“Yes. I made it open in a proper way.”
What would be the proper way?
Anyway, this guy is untrustworthy.
Thanks to that, the subspace was opened.
anyway.
A few documents, a voucher, and a few tools here and there.
The voucher was issued by the bank of Pecs.
There’s nothing particularly strange.
The strange thing was the documents.
“There’s nothing written.”
“It doesn’t seem like they would carry around blank documents in the subspace, so I looked into it, but I couldn’t find anything.”
Benatio couldn’t find it.
I put my hand on the paper and expanded my gaze.
Then, a faint trace of magical power is felt.
“A group of documents processed with magic power.”
“Yes? I checked it out earlier, but I didn’t find any traces.”
That’s because your senses aren’t as sensitive as mine.
Woof.
I poured my magic power into the documents.
This is a task that requires extreme caution, as even a slight misunderstanding of the force will cause the documents to turn into dust.
I can feel it inside the document.
Whoever engineered it, they hid the magic circuitry very precisely.
Of course, now that you’ve figured it out, it’s easy from here on out.
“Oh. It appears.”
Ernest, who had been peeking in from the side, let out an exclamation.
Finally, writing was appearing on the documents.
“Wow, that’s amazing, senior. How did you do it?”
“Increase your magical power.”
I looked over the documents after providing a simple solution.
And after reading the contents, he looked at Baron Hexen and chuckled.
“There’s one more.”
* * *
Captain Lancel didn’t know how to come down from the tower to observe the ‘strange phenomenon’ of the sandstorm stopping.
“How long have you been there, Captain?”
“Well, all day?”
“What the hell is going on? It’s been almost a year since we’ve had a sandstorm this long.”
If you can see the fact that nothing happens as a ‘phenomenon’, then it is quite a strange phenomenon.
Now it seemed as if Pecs had gone back to his old ways.
At most, sandstorms would blow at a moderate rate, thanks to Mount Ariela’s steady defenses, once every few days.
That wasn’t blowing right now.
“No matter how I look at it, something happened.”
Lancel muttered, feeling the blowing wind on his whole body.
The wind is tailwind.
It is extremely clean, with no sand mixed in.
How long has it been since I’ve had this kind of wind?
But that’s not the point.
“The view of Mount Ariela has changed.”
A peak near the east of Mount Ariela.
The scenery there looks different, as if it were painted in different colors.
like…….
Should I say that only that place looks bluer and darker?
The barrier around the area disappeared, revealing a sight that had flourished for so many years thanks to the dragon’s magic.
From Lancel’s perspective, who had no way of knowing, it was clear that something had happened.
‘Dane and his party went to Mount Ariela. So… … .’
That was when I was making such guesses.
“Captain!”
A little below the top.
A guard on the wall, watching ahead with a telescope, shouted.
“An unidentified group is approaching!”
An unidentified group.
“How many people?”
“There are… more than twenty!”
“twenty?”
That’s a lot of people.
Did you come from somewhere above?
“If you look closely, nine of them are walking, and the rest are tied up!”
At those words, Lancel immediately pulled out his telescope.
After a while.
Lancel shouted loudly.
“Open the gates!”
It was a Dane party.
And besides the Dane party, there was one guy with his hood pulled down low, and a bunch of guys being carried in tied up in a row.
They are Baron Hexen and his hired mercenaries who have been frequenting Pex recently.
‘I don’t see that sorceress named Selina.’
Of course, what do you think?
The important thing is that they are being brought here tied up now.
Lancel hurried down the tower.
“100 million!”
I almost lost my footing on the ladder and fell down, but I managed to catch myself.
I guess I’m pretty excited.
There was a change on Mount Ariela, and the sandstorm stopped.
These guys are coming here from Mount Ariela, so they can’t help but be excited.
Cuckoo palace.
The heavy gate opened and Dane and his party finally entered.
“Dane Sogres.”
“Captain. Your expression looks bright.”
At Dane’s first words, Lancel raised the corners of his mouth.
“I said that because I think something good happened.”
“There are good things and bad things.”
Dane explained simply.
Except for a few things, though.
Because the secrets related to dragons and liches must be kept hidden.
“Huh… … What should I say… … If it’s true, we have been greatly indebted to the Dane Sogress group.”
“I just did what I could.”
Lancel shook his head.
Even so, what is important is being able to do it.
Who could do such a thing?
“I will tell the mayor about this matter and treat him with respect, and I will also make sure that a petition is submitted to the imperial court.”
But the expression of gratitude is only temporary.
“But on Mount Ariela… … there was an unknown power, and was this power the cause of this?”
“If you think about it, it wasn’t because of that power. There was someone who caused that power to run wild.”
What Dane was pointing to was Baron Hexen.
“You can ask here for more details.”
And he also gave me the evidence.
With witnesses, to be exact.
“They are all mercenaries hired by Baron Hexen.”
“Oh, let us go! We were just being paid to escort Baron Hexen!”
That’s unfortunately up to Pecs to decide.
Dane ignored them and handed all the mercenaries over to the guards before continuing.
“Baron Hexen… … why?”
Lancel was dumbfounded.
It’s surprising that there’s such a place on Mount Ariela, but for someone as big as Baron Hexen to get involved and make things worse?
“To sum it up in one word, is this because Baron Hexen is the one who made the sandstorm blowing towards Pecs worse?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“her.”
I couldn’t believe it.
How did that happen?
why?
“You can see the details when you look at the evidence.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Lancel nodded blankly.
For now, I can only nod.
That being said, they even brought in witnesses as evidence.
But that wasn’t the end.
Dane whispered to Lancel as the guards dragged the mercenaries and Baron Hexen away.
“There is one more.”
“One more?”
What Dane handed over was a letter.
To be exact, it was a document that Baron Hexen had kept hidden with magic.
This is a letter whose contents have already been revealed by Dane revealing the secret.
“This is… … .”
“These are the letters exchanged between Baron Hexen and the person who supported his illegal and serious criminal activities.”
“… … !”
Lancel looked over the letter urgently.
A slowly changing complexion.
“Is this… … true?”
“It came from Baron Hexen’s subspace.”
“… … .”
Lancel gulped and swallowed dry saliva.
If it’s true.
If it’s really true… … .
This shouldn’t happen… … .
“My role ends here.”
Dane said and took a step back.
Lancel looked over the letter again and again.
It is a moment of choice.
If this is true, we need to act now.
“Is this really a letter from Baron Hexen’s subspace?”
“Yes.”
“… … .”
Lancel made a decision.
“Colson, Levy. Assemble the 4th and 5th squads now. Go to the mayor’s mansion immediately.”
