Chapter 389: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family

284. Are you suddenly praising me?

Bolas, the mayor of Pecs, was a pretty good-natured man.

To be exact, it is okay to treat the strong well.

He was not treated that way by his subordinates, but in fact he was quite well regarded in the capital.

Of course, that evaluation is just money-based lobbying.

Bolas had a dream.

Go straight to the center.

To get out of this westernmost corner of Pecs and into the center, and live a glamorous life there.

Born in the West, a place with nothing much to offer but sand, and now serving as the mayor of the largest city, one could almost call oneself successful, but not for Bolas.

I’ll leave this place someday.

Something you say habitually when no one is around, so that others won’t hear.

And now it’s really starting to heat up.

The problem is that the place you leave here is not the center.

“Damn. Why on earth was that guy caught?”

Baron Hexen.

The guy was caught.

To the Dane Sogres party whom he had intended to treat with great hospitality.

Thanks to this, the danger signal firmly embedded in Bolas’s head is screaming at him to get out of the way quickly.

Of course, if you avoid it, that’s the end of it.

Baron Hexen is literally a baron.

Even if you mention your own name, you can just say that it never happened and cover it up.

Moreover, he is the mayor of this place and has already established connections in the center.

But there’s one thing Bolas doesn’t know… … .

That we have not yet heard a report as to ‘why’ Baron Hexen was captured.

Another problem is that Bolas has been receiving money continuously from Baron Hexen under the name of ‘donations’.

“I guess I should just take care of the things that make money.”

There is a risk that the ownership of securities, including vouchers, may be forfeited on paper.

In times like these, the real thing is the best.

It was at that time that Bolas opened a subspace and was sweeping up all the gold coins and jewels he could get his hands on.

dripping.

My heart sank at the sound of a knock on the mayor’s office door.

“Sir, the security guard has come to see you.”

“… … .”

A cold, flowing silence.

dripping.

“Mayor? Aren’t you inside?”

At the secretary’s voice, Bolas couldn’t even respond and just swallowed dry saliva.

‘watch?’

Why are you coming from the guard?

For reporting?

Or to catch it?

“It looks like you’ve been away for a while, Captain.”

“Then let’s wait inside.”

It’s Lancel’s voice.

It’s too late to run away now.

Bolas had no choice but to clear his throat and answer.

“Big, big. Come in.”

The door opened and the person who appeared was Lancel.

Bolas was relieved to see that only Lancel had come.

“Mayor.”

“Um, Captain. What’s going on?”

“I have come to you to report an important matter.”

“Reporting matter?”

Bolas pretended not to know and asked back with a blank expression.

Lancel stares blankly at Bolas and answers.

“Yes. It has been confirmed that Baron Hexen has committed a serious crime.”

“Huh. Baron Hexen… … Isn’t he someone who has been coming and going from this city quite often recently?”

“Yes.”

“What crime did he commit?”

“It was something that could threaten anything from Pecs on the small scale to the entire empire on the large scale.”

“… … !”

This is more serious than you think.

To the point of mentioning the entire empire.

“The entire empire. What does that mean?”

“There was a power dormant in Mount Ariela, and Baron Hexen attempted to awaken it by force. As a result, the sandstorms that blew into Pex were much shorter in frequency.”

“… … .”

A cold stream of sweat runs down my back.

‘He was crazy.’

I accepted it with a smile because I heard it was a good thing to donate.

In return, the market leased almost the entire Ariela Mountains to Baron Hexen.

As there were outside views, it wasn’t to the extent of restricting entry to only Baron Hexen… … .

anyway.

We also exchanged letters.

Secretly, of course.

With a magic letter that can never be found out.

That’s the only consolation, but the problem is that the scale of the accident is too big.

“Huh… is that true?”

“Yes, but fortunately, Dane Sogres and his party from the capital uncovered the truth and brought the new recruit to our side.”

Bolas took a deep breath.

Dane… … Sogress?

A scion of one of the most prominent families in the empire, from the capital, uncovered this and identified Baron Hexen as the culprit?

Now the cold sweat flowing was not just one or two drops.

My back started getting soaked.

Sometimes, the fame and power one possesses serve as evidence, regardless of the evidence.

Just like now.

Of course, the evidence now seems clear.

“So, we are tracking down the people involved.”

“Yes, the person involved. Yes. We have to find them.”

“By the way, sir, don’t you know anything?”

“… …Why are you asking me that?”

“Well… … because Baron Hexen donated a large sum of money to our Pecs. I was wondering if you knew anything about it.”

“… … I, I don’t know.”

Bolas cried out inwardly.

I just received it because I gave money.

But I can’t believe I had that kind of accident.

If I had known, I would have absolutely stopped it.

Of course, ignorance does not make the sin disappear, so Bolas decided to evade his responsibility.

“Mayor.”

But Lancel astonished Bolas.

“I know everything. If you confess honestly and pay the price, I will give you some leniency.”

“What is that… … .”

“Mayor.”

Lancel looked at Bolas pleadingly.

“But aren’t you the mayor of this city?”

“T-Tell me, how can you frame me like this! What did you know about me?”

“The fact that Baron Hexen’s donations were laundered and embezzled… … and that a criminal environment was created for Baron Hexen.”

“No! What is that!”

Bolas was about to be caught.

but-

Bam.

I couldn’t help but turn pale when I saw the letter on the table.

“Are you saying this after seeing this?”

“… … !”

“Baron Hexen has already confessed.”

There was a tense silence for a while.

Bolas shook his hands, not even noticing that the sofa was getting soaking wet.

“That guy… … confessed?”

“Yes, sir.”

“… … .”

It was then that Bolas suddenly stood up, unable to control his trembling hands.

“… … So what are you going to do with me?”

“Do you admit it?”

“Admit it? Yes, I admit it. But then? What are we going to do?”

“You will have to pay the price.”

“Just you?”

Bolas burst into laughter.

A true nature that is gradually revealed.

“I am the mayor of this city. Do you understand? I am the mayor appointed by the royal family! No one in this city can arrest me!”

Bolas growled in anger.

There is plenty of time.

You can just get out in the meantime.

But Lancel looks at Bolas with pity.

As he felt a strange sense of foreboding at the sight, Lancel sighed.

“The report must have already reached the royal family.”

“what?”

This matter would have been reported to the royal family who appointed you as mayor.

At those words, Bolas’ heart began to pound.

“Dane Sogress said that the Imperial Court will also pay attention to this matter.”

“… … .”

“No matter how many times I’ve asked, you’ve never come. It’s really strange. Don’t you think so?”

Well, all those requests were ignored by Bolas and never actually done.

“… … .”

Bolas fell back down onto the road, crashing down.

An investigation team is coming from the imperial palace… … .

“You have admitted your guilt, so I am sorry, but I will take you to the dungeon.”

The struggle ended here.

There was nothing more that could be done.

widely.

As Lancel gave the signal, the door opened and two guards who had been waiting came in.

Their expressions are just as bitter as Lancel’s.

After all, it is a market.

“Tie your hands with an example.”

“yes.”

It tastes bitter.

But what can I do?

The guilt has been revealed.

of course-

“For your information, Baron Hexen did confess, but he didn’t mention the mayor.”

“……what?”

But with a little bit of trickery added.

“Take it and go.”

“La, Lancel! This damn… … Let go! Let go of me!”

The anger didn’t last long.

“Get your hands off me! Shit! Ugh! It hurts! It hurts!”

Soon, he was dragged away by the guards and disappeared.

Left alone in the office, Lancel let out a deep sigh.

“You must have a lot to do.”

Sandstorms will only occur very occasionally, as before.

But so much has been broken in just one year.

Now is the time to turn back.

“Huh. Thanks to that, things worked out pretty well.”

But I couldn’t stop being amazed.

Dane Sogres.

The person who solved all this.

By uncovering the secrets of Mount Ariela, we were able to reverse the sandstorm and even uncover the mayor’s sins.

What on earth is this guy doing?

“Are all geniuses like that these days?”

Lancel left the office muttering.

widely.

There was silence in the closed office.

* * *

The Imperial Investigation Team managed to find out about this and came looking for me. To be exact, they contacted me.

I was suspicious of Venatio, but in any case, the matter itself needed to be reported to the imperial court.

If we weren’t careful, the entire empire could have been buried in sand.

If you think about it, the royal family must have had a really hard time.

It is difficult to manage everything that happens in this vast territory.

Anyway, the imperial investigation team flew in on the teleportation platform in an instant.

And that too in a matter of hours.

“Dane Sogres, it’s been a while.”

And then there was a familiar face.

Aren Dorment.

An article written by an invited lecturer in Professor Esteranza’s lecture.

He was also a knight who had a duel with me.

“Lord Dorment. It’s been a while. How have you been?”

“Thank you. I learned a lot from that training session, and I’ve made a lot of progress since then.”

He looked at my sword and smirked.

“I won’t get hurt next time.”

Yes, Sir Dorment ‘officially’ won then, but it was effectively my victory.

I guess I still remember that.

“Anyway, it’s nice to meet you like this.”

“I didn’t know the Imperial Knights would come this quickly.”

“Because it’s an urgent matter.”

I didn’t ask how he knew since I didn’t even contact him separately.

After all, it was something the royal family had no choice but to know.

So I anticipated that and gave a sneaky hint to Captain Lancel.

“Something quite surprising has happened in this city. The unknown space that exists in Mount Ariela… … What exactly happened?”

“There was an unknown force inside, but it was destroyed when the barrier was lifted.”

“iced coffee.”

The power of the dragon.

And the research data resulting from that power must be hidden.

However, I decided to leave some treasure behind as bait.

There is so much of it that even if you set aside some, it won’t be noticeable.

“I just took a quick look at Baron Hexen’s newspaper files and it looks like something very big could have happened. On behalf of the royal family, I would like to thank you.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

“It is only valid for those who can do what needs to be done. Stopping rebellions, arresting heretics… … It would be even more strange if His Majesty the Emperor did not favor it.”

I’m worried that the favoritism will get worse because of this incident.

Of course it would have reached your ears.

Anything more delicious tart would be more than welcome.

“How long do you plan to stay in the city?”

“I think it will leave in a day or two.”

“Ah. Then, I guess I can ask you to investigate as a witness for a while.”

“As much as you want.”

After regrouping, we head into the desert.

But before that, there are things I need to do while staying for a day or two.

“Then, I will contact you later when I need to investigate. The modification code is… … .”

“This is it.”

“Oh, thank you. Okay.”

After a brief reunion with the Dormont Lord, I headed straight to our lodgings.

To be exact, it was the best place for visitors to Pecs to stay, near the market hall.

Although it was only for one day, we had the whole place to ourselves.

It was thanks to Lancel.

“It’s good, it’s good.”

It’s not a fancy place, but it’s a good enough place.

A good place to recover from this event before heading out into the desert.

“It’s a trace of the demon tribe.”

Our specific objective is to find traces of the Demons at the end of the Western Desert.

And the real goal is desert exploration.

I think it would be fun.

[Dane Sogress, it may be quite difficult to find traces of the Demons.]

Mini Golem opens his mouth after a long time.

“Even if it’s difficult, you have to do it. You’re curious. But why do you say it’s difficult?”

[It won’t be easy to get in. It’s probably hidden away.]

“It doesn’t matter. What’s important is the process of finding it.”

In adventure, the reward is important, but the process itself is also very important.

It’s interesting and fun.

[But I’m sure you can do anything.]

“What? Are you suddenly praising me?”

[I felt this when I saw you find the dragon’s rare this time.]

Yeah, I found the dragon lair.

Strictly speaking, it is a space where annoying tricks are used, but considering the research materials and goods, it can be said to be rare.

[I’m a bit excited about those research materials. I want to take a look at them soon.]

I chuckled at the mini golem’s reaction and moved straight away.

Because there was something to look into.

“Oh, you’re here?”

“professor.”

This is Dmitry’s temporary body that Professor Cross will create.
