Chapter 390: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
285. You must have a conscience
Professor Cross had just arrived and, without looking around, went straight to the accommodation to see Dmitry.
“Hmm. Hmm. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a skeletal Lich.”
Thanks to that, Dmitry was facing Professor Cross with a rather bewildered expression.
“How is it?”
“Originally, the best way would be to make yourself a lich, including your physical body, but unfortunately, only I can do that. A temporary body would be the answer.”
“Is it possible here too?”
“Why would I bother to spend a day here?”
Professor Cross immediately opened a subspace and laid out the materials.
“I’m late because I was looking for materials. I’m going to use this to make a temporary body.”
“You’re not really making it, are you?”
“Of course. It’s hard to make something that looks like a human body. It takes a long time. It’s also hard to make a temporary body. So I’m going to make it look like that. I’m going to cast a semi-permanent illusion.”
Dmitry asked Professor Cross with a dumbfounded expression.
“I…….”
“Just call me professor.”
“Oh, yes, Professor. So, from now on… … I can live in a physical body?”
“It’s actually a bone hand.”
Professor Cross immediately cast a spell on Dmitry’s hand.
“Well, does it look like you have hands now?”
“Yes.”
“But try to catch this.”
What he handed me was a cup.
As soon as Dmitry accepted it, I realized that it was not just the sound a person makes when they hold a cup.
Dalgrak.
“Okay. Can you hear the sound?”
Because that hand is welcoming, and it actually touches the bone.
“Yes.”
“You can think of it as something like this. That’s what illusion magic is. However, in my case, I can make it look like that semi-permanently. As long as the magic is sufficient.”
Professor Cross then opened the front of Dmitry’s robe and pointed to the center of his chest.
So, it is the empty space between the two ribs.
“I’m going to put the core in here.”
Of course, if it ends here, I am not Professor Cross.
“But if we’re going to do it, wouldn’t it be better if it was perfect both visually and aurally?”
“Yeah… … I guess so.”
“So, I’ll also place a magic spell on your core that makes anything that touches your body inaudible.”
“… … Is that possible?”
“It’s possible.”
Professor Cross.
No, because it’s Saul Hangston.
It was Saul Hangston who first came up with the idea of becoming a lich while maintaining his physical body.
[That’s amazing.]
The mini golem, who had been watching the situation, added a word.
“Do you think the mini golem is amazing, too?”
[Yes, Professor Cross. It is extremely difficult to add properties to an existing Lich.]
“Right? It wasn’t in Arcana either?”
“Arcana? What does that mean?”
Dmitry asked with wide eyes, and Professor Cross gave a vague answer.
Of course, it’s nonsense for a guy like that to say something that looks like an ornament hanging from his waist.
“There is something like that. Anyway, I plan to add a body like that.”
“If that’s possible… … I guess I can continue living.”
“That’s true. It’s a bit strange to ask if Richie is alive.”
The conversation between the two Richies was going quite constructively.
Roughly speaking, my conclusion was this.
Cast a semi-permanent illusion spell to make Dmitry’s body appear to have a physical body.
And considering that it’s actually a bone, there’s even a magic that makes no sound when something touches Dmitry’s body.
“Thank you… … Thank you so much.”
Dmitry was endlessly grateful.
“Once you’ve become rich, you can’t be anything else, but try to live your life to the fullest.”
“Thank you, Professor. But, if it’s Professor Cross… … .”
“Haha, there’s someone else who knows my name. Hahaha.”
“I heard you’ve been focusing on researching a really good magic potion for men… … .”
“Hehehe, that’s my masterpiece. Hehehe.”
Maybe because he’s lived so long, he’s developed a lot of different things.
Well, it could be very important to some people.
Like ‘New Dream’, which is currently in production with research materials obtained from the southern jungle.
“I made some money with that. Hehe.”
“You are truly amazing.”
“Big. The problem is that neither of us can use it.”
“… … .”
The two briefly shed tears at the sad reality.
“Ahem. Anyway, it’ll take a few days, so keep that in mind. I’ll start with the head to make it look nice, then move on to the upper body, then the lower body.”
“Okay, I understand. Thank you.”
“Oh, by the way, I heard there’s research data on dragons… … .”
“It’s here. You can look at it anytime.”
Dmitry seemed to have little interest in the treasures and research materials contained within.
I just don’t want this to be released indiscriminately.
Professor Cross is someone I vouch for, so he’s giving it to me so easily.
“Hoo, this is… … .”
And Professor Cross is not a great man who would overthrow the country or take revenge with this material.
After all, it was just my curiosity as a wizard that came into play.
“I’ve never seen a dragon before, except for that little dragon belonging to my disciple. It’s an incredible one, though.”
“I was surprised too. I didn’t know there were still dragons left that hadn’t gone beyond the horizon.”
“Speaking of which, do you know anything about what’s beyond the horizon?”
“Oh, if you look at this research data here… … .”
This is truly an exciting conversation between two rich people.
[Can I see that research material too?]
“Of course. But what should I call you?”
[You can call it a mini golem.]
“Mini Golem… … .”
When he showed a strange reaction to the name he proudly introduced, I quickly changed the subject.
“Dmitry. When you go to the family home, do you plan on bringing your mother with you?”
At the word ‘mother,’ Dmitry’s hand, which was taking out his research materials, suddenly stopped.
“Maybe… … it will be like that.”
“What after that?”
“I haven’t thought about it.”
The person who caught my intention exactly was Professor Cross.
“Then the Magic Tower would be better. With your level of skill, I’m sure they’ll accept you.”
“But I’m from… … even rich. I’ll probably get caught.”
“Not all magic towers are like that.”
Wizards are strictly managed through a registration system.
But there are always holes.
There is at least one magic tower that avoids that hole well.
And that tower is the Niroxion tower, where someone I know is the tower master.
“Sidrain, that guy would be a good fit. Don’t you think so?”
“That’s enough.”
Dmitry looks dumbfounded.
“Why are you doing this to me… … .”
Research materials.
And a significant amount of goods.
This alone would be enough, plus a little bit of regret.
However, this is just a human regret, and we have no regrets about what we did.
“Professor, then I will go.”
“Oh. Are you leaving for the desert right away?”
“I’m leaving tomorrow.”
“Have a nice trip.”
“My disciple is going to a dangerous place. Shouldn’t you give him some artifact that could be of help?”
Professor Cross laughed at those words.
“Danger? Help? You? You little punk. You need to have a conscience.”
* * *
We were treated with the utmost hospitality by the city.
It was to the extent that wherever we went, servants would follow us around and offer us anything we wanted, and the meals were always top-notch.
Lancel said that he would not only provide guards as an escort, but also use the entire city budget if there was something he wanted.
They even gave them free use of Pecs’ main facilities.
Of course, we haven’t done much.
We hadn’t expected such treatment in the first place, and we had no intention of staying long.
Instead, there was one good thing.
It’s a tart.
“It’s so sweet.”
“Our Pecs and surrounding lands produce a lot of high-quality honey and fruit. Tarts and desserts are quite developed.”
I’ve heard of it.
There’s not much to see on the western side, but the desserts are top-notch.
As Lancel said, it is thanks to the good quality honey and fruits.
So the tart was very sweet, but strangely enough, the sweetness wasn’t unpleasant, but the savory flavor was the best.
“Everything else is fine, but could you please pack a few of these tarts?”
“If you want, I can provide enough for Pecs to eat for a whole year.”
This is a huge offer.
I’m tempted.
But I turned down the offer with extreme patience.
“Thank you for your kind words, but just a few will do.”
“Of course. I’ll tell the kitchen in advance.”
Pex’s Honey Tart.
I just discovered this absolutely incredible dessert.
I’ll have to stop by and eat some more on my way back from the desert.
“Oh, by the way, the royal family says that the investigation is going very smoothly. They say that Baron Hexen and the mayor, no, the former mayor, have confessed to all of the crimes.”
“okay.”
I don’t really care what happens to them anymore.
It never existed in the first place.
We explored the hidden areas of Mount Ariela to find traces of the dragon, and additionally gained Karnas’ growth and my growth, as well as research materials and treasure.
“Baron Hexen will probably be sentenced to death or indefinite imprisonment… … I’m not sure about the former mayor.”
“Then the market place in Pecs will be empty.”
“Well… … it’s a little embarrassing, but I’ve been given the position of interim mayor. It’s the council’s decision.”
“okay.”
I don’t know what kind of person the mayor is, but he’s the one who’s going to be the interim mayor, so I’m sure he’ll do a good job.
We’re leaving anyway.
“Thank you again, Dane Sogress.”
“If you’re grateful, please take good care of the tarts later.”
“Is there any possibility?”
We even got some really delicious tarts, so was this adventure a success?
“Oh, and do you have any good quality meat?”
“Meat? If it’s meat… … Yes. I have some. Are you going to use it for cooking?”
“Fresh raw is enough.”
I can’t keep all this delicious food to myself.
After receiving the meat from Lancel and returning to my room, I came face to face with Karnas, who was flying towards me as if he had been waiting for me.
“How have you been?”
“Kkuruk!”
“Let’s eat meat.”
“Kki-kki!”
I looked at Karnas, who was eating meat without thinking, in amazement.
The body size is the same, but overall it has matured.
Mini dragons do not change size even if they consume the magic power of other dragons.
Should I say that it feels like a dragon that has grown to a certain extent has just been scaled down in size?
Why, isn’t there something like that?
It feels like looking at a statue that was carved in scale from something that was originally large.
[By the way, the mini dragon has grown quite a bit. Of course, its size remains the same.]
“Kki-kki!”
At those words, Karnas stopped eating the meat and landed on top of the mini golem.
It’s almost like a victory declaration pose.
[Go down, mini dragon.]
“Kkuruk!”
[Get down. If you keep doing that, I’ll get angry.]
“Kki-reuk!”
[This fucking mini… … .]
I chuckled at the sight of the two bickering.
“Kkuruk!”
And after a while.
Karnas flew in and tapped the back of my left hand.
“this?”
As soon as you inject magic power, a dragon scale appears on the back of your hand.
I thought about pulling out my Arcanium sword and slicing it open, but I stopped when I realized Priscilla wasn’t there.
No matter how great a country is, if its hand is cut off, there is no answer.
For your information, quick treatment is key for amputation, and Priscilla, who will be performing the treatment, is currently taking care of the sick at the Temple of Pecs.
Of course, Dorian will be there too.
Well, let’s try it out little by little later.
“Won’t the range expand?”
[It seems likely to be a fixed value.]
At best, it covers the back of the hand.
This alone should be enough to block most swords and axes.
But then suddenly this thought occurred to me.
Is it really true that something as strong as a dragon scale is all that matters?
I opened the subspace, took out a few books, and started looking for the section I wanted.
“Kkuruk?”
“This is it.”
It didn’t take that long.
After closing the book, I immediately installed the magic reflector.
A prototype my older sister gave me to use when needed.
It is an object that reverse-engines the internal code and returns projected magic the moment it touches it.
It’s very expensive and disposable, but for the experiment I’m trying right now, there’s nothing better.
“good.”
While I was wondering what would be good, I floated a magic spear into the air.
As it is made of my magic power, the reflector can withstand it.
“good.”
A magical spear that flies with the snap of a finger.
Thud!
And the moment it touched the mirror, a spear of magic was instantly regenerated in the air and flew towards me.
I raised my left hand and injected magic power into it-
Just as the spear of magic was about to touch the back of my hand, something unfolded on the Dragon Scale.
Wow!
And the spear of magic shattered into pieces.
Now, on the back of my hand, a shield of magical power spread out around the dragon scale.
“Kki… … kkiruk?”
“This is good.”
I giggled and raised the corners of my lips.
Dragon Arygma.
He’s a tough guy, but I got something good out of him.
A shield that automatically reflects magic.
[You’ve got another ridiculous thing going, Dane Sogress.]
“I know.”
Appreciating the mini golem is a bonus.
