Chapter 442: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family

323. It’s a bit strange.

The South is a warm place.

The climate is good and the natural environment is also good.

So it is a popular place for aristocrats during the vacation season.

During the holiday season, nobles from all over the empire gather, and the nobles in the south make money by providing villas to these nobles or selling fruit at high prices.

That’s why most people don’t really feel the need for ‘refrigeration’.

But according to my older sister’s theory, a good invention is ultimately ‘something that is made to meet a need.’

“To put it simply, it’s something that you didn’t actually need, but the moment you experience it, it makes you feel like you need it.”

For example, it is like this.

“You suddenly appear in places where it is difficult to get fresh ingredients and provide them?”

“Yes. For example… … .”

“Battlefield?”

“… … Well, that’s a pretty apt metaphor, isn’t it?”

Because that’s the only place that comes to mind.

How it feels to find food that has barely made it to the front lines half-rotten.

The experience of bread growing mold and meat smelling bad.

Thanks to that, fresh vegetables were unimaginable.

Even then, when the frontline situation was bad, there were many times when we had to force ourselves to eat rotten food.

When I think back on it, it’s not a very pleasant memory.

“Let’s create that kind of experience. Our South is rich, so we actually have a lot of ice and fresh fruit, but… … .”

“But that doesn’t mean everyone can enjoy it.”

In particular, this is true of the ice candy I often buy and eat.

A product made by freezing hard candy and then melting it so that it can be eaten.

In fact, it is such an expensive item that there have been more than a few times when I have encountered children looking at me with envy while walking down the street holding a popsicle.

“Then, how about we try installing it as a pilot project in the South?”

“Yeah. First… … let the people of Yeongji experience it.”

ah.

A good idea just occurred to me.

“It’s almost the second vacation season, right?”

The weather in the empire will soon turn cold.

So the nobles come to the relatively warm south for vacation.

This is the ‘second vacation’ that begins in the Empire’s winter, following the ‘first vacation’ in summer.

“yes?”

“Aren’t there nobles flocking to our South?”

“ah.”

My older sister seemed to understand what I meant.

“Let them experience it and spread it. The nobles are sensitive to trends and rumors spread quickly.”

“Very good. As expected from our youngest. Let’s see… … I guess we should prepare some high-end items for those nobles as well?”

I don’t know if it’s human nature or the psychology of the nobles, but people with money and high status want to enjoy things ‘only for themselves’.

To put it simply, it means wanting something ‘special’ that others cannot enjoy…

From their perspective, they probably don’t want to enjoy what everyone else is using.

If that’s the case, I’d like to enjoy it in a slightly different way.

So that’s why my older sister was talking about ‘high-end’ now.

“The invention will happen quickly, so let’s distribute the prototype to the South first.”

“Okay. Are you going to go yourself?”

“… … If I go, will Father leave me alone?”

“hmm.”

Honestly, I can’t guarantee that.

Because my father was so upset.

It’s been a while since my older sister went south under the pretense of inventing something.

But this time, I’m going to the South under the same excuse, so I wonder if my father will acknowledge my consistency?

“But I really have no intention of continuing the family line… … .”

“Why? I think you’ll do well if you do it with your older sister.”

“I think I’ll do well. It’ll be fun.”

You’re not denying it.

“But what I’m doing now is more fun. And I’m not sure if I can do better than this.”

My older sister thinks similarly to me.

Living without regrets and doing fun things.

And if possible, let’s do something that is fun and something that we are good at.

“Honestly, I don’t really think about it. What does Claire think?”

“It’ll probably be similar. Even if I ask now, you probably won’t be able to answer.”

“Right. Now that you’ve been hired, what about your family background? And from what I know, there are many cases where professors become professors because they’re not the eldest sons.”

As my older sister said, those who really want to continue the family line are unable to do so and end up becoming professors.

They are greatly respected in academia and academia, but if you think about the meaning of being the head of a household, they are the ones who are pushed out of the competition.

So, if you think about it, this isn’t something that siblings can compromise on.

Other people don’t hesitate to shed blood and fight with their own families just to become the head of a family, but we all say we won’t do that to each other.

If someone saw me, they’d think there was a curse on our family that would kill me the moment I became the head of the household.

“… … Does Father know that we are all so thoughtless?”

“huh.”

“What should I do… … I think you should have another child… … .”

Well, it seems like your mother is positive about that anyway.

“Anyway, it’s right for me to go. Since I’m the one who invented it… … .”

My older sister then looked at me with a secret gaze.

“You want to go together?”

“As expected, he’s our youngest.”

Actually, strictly speaking, I don’t have to go.

But what can I do if my older sister wants it?

“Go and when your father brings up family stories and your mother nags you, change the subject, okay?”

There’s nothing I can do.

I think I go there quite often these days, but should I go there once for my older sister?

Woohoo.

The communication crystal ball that rings when you think like that.

It was a familiar name, yet one I hadn’t seen in a long time.

“who is this?”

“Professor Cross.”

“aha.”

You said you were going to investigate the Arcana, but you didn’t come back even after the semester started, and now you’re only contacting me.

“Yes, professor.”

-Dane? Are you okay?

“I’m having a pretty good semester.”

-Oh, right. Yeah, the semester started, right?

I think he’s probably just pretending not to know.

-No, it’s nothing else. I was just wondering if you could go somewhere with me when you have time this weekend.

“Weekend?”

I glanced at my older sister.

I think it would be better to just say no.

But that thought only lasts a moment.

-I found traces of Arcana. But, it’s a bit urgent. I think it would be better to go this weekend.

I answered immediately to the following words.

“Yeah.”

And I quietly muttered to my older sister, who opened her mouth at me, feeling betrayed.

sorry.

It’s Arcana.

I’ll take care of it when I get back?

* * *

Arcana.

It’s not like you’re obligated to reveal any secrets, but it’s not like you can just ignore it when it’s right in front of you.

Because it’s interesting.

Because very little has been revealed so far.

Until I started collecting the ancient magical powers one by one.

In that sense, the adventure that will take place over the weekend seems like it will be fun.

“How did you get the original?”

I asked Professor Cross.

He had just entered the lab, saying he would return to the academy and explain.

“I wandered around a bit during the vacation. I got a disciple and shared my vision magic with him, so I thought I’d go on a wandering trip.”

Professor Cross’s eyes sparkled.

“Then I discovered that the flow of magical power was strange… … When I look at it, doesn’t it have a strong Arcana feel to it?”

“Where?”

“think.”

Professor Cross took something out of his bosom and showed it to me.

I noticed something a little strange.

“This is… … .”

No, it’s a bit weird.

“It’s not imperial territory.”

“He’s quick-witted.”

“This is information that anyone can immediately recognize.”

The place where the map was taken out and pointed at is clearly outside the empire, not inside it.

Simply put, outside the Alteon Empire.

On the other hand –

“Are you saying we should enter the country illegally?”

“Shh. Who can hear?”

“Who was that person who was talking loudly earlier?”

Within the Draconic Empire.

And that’s not far from the border.

It’s fortunate that it’s close to the border, but on the other hand, the border is where security is the tightest.

“But it’s not like it’s a place you can’t go, right?”

“Yeah. You can go.”

The problem is that if we get caught we all die.

Well, if you think about it, that’s not really a big problem.

Because you just have to not get caught.

[Dane Sogres, this may be a place I know.]

Amidst all this, a delighted mini golem appears.

“Oh, does this guy know this place?”

By the way, Professor Cross knows about the existence of mini golems.

Probably next to my family and friends, he is the person who knows the most of my secrets.

[This looks almost identical to the location of the temporary research lab that Dekanius had set up.]

“okay?”

[It was hidden under a small village, so it is certain that excavations are taking place.]

If so, it’s worth a visit.

Decanius.

A famous wizard from the Arcana era who created this mini golem.

We’re finally meeting.

However, there was a bit of a problem.

“Okay. Then… … I think it would be best to disguise myself as a war merchant.”

I tilted my head at the word war merchant.

That’s not the kind of word that should come out here.

Especially if you have to choose a status to disguise yourself.

“Why?”

But there must be a reason for saying this.

Professor Cross isn’t the type of person to just talk nonsense.

“That’s because the place where the traces of that Arcana are located is located in the Dranek Army’s garrison.”

The problem is that the location is beyond imagination.

“I heard that before the excavation of the ruins, the Drani army was stationed there to control the entry and exit. The size of the army is not that big. At most, about 2,000 people?”

It’s big.

That’s pretty much it.

No matter how good our skills are, we have no problem with illegal entry or infiltration, but going to a place where enemy troops are stationed in groups is a different matter.

“So, are you saying that we should go in before the full-scale excavation?”

“As expected of my disciple, he understands quickly. According to what I found out, the excavation will begin next week, and they are waiting for the excavation team until this weekend.”

I want this.

Once excavation begins, penetration becomes virtually impossible.

It might be possible somehow, but the problem is that it’s Dranek territory.

It’s not like it’s impossible to turn everything upside down…

Then excavation would be impossible and it wouldn’t be fun.

“I have to go quickly.”

“Yes, that’s it.”

I’ve always vaguely thought about going to Drenique someday, but I never thought it would end up like this.

It’s a bit embarrassing to say I went and came back.

Because I just went in and out briefly near the border.

There will be another chance someday.

Who knows, if I come out this time, I might gain some know-how.

“Phew.”

In the midst of this, Professor Cross suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hmm… … And by the way. This really makes me laugh.”

“What do you mean?”

“Go, go. I can imagine that our excellent disciple will just sit there and not say a word.”

I tilted my head at those words.

“You can’t say a word?”

“Yeah. Of course.”

“The professor is a war merchant, and I am disguised as a porter or something?”

Until then, I thought Professor Cross was just happy to be given that role.

“Hey kid, have you been to Drenick?”

“no.”

“I’ve been there! And I’ve been there, and I’ve been there for hundreds of years. That’s why I’m very good at Drani.”

iced coffee.

That was the story.

“is it so?”

“Yes, no one will ever suspect me of being from the Empire of Alteon… … .”

What interrupted Professor Cross’s continued speech was the Drani language flowing out of my mouth.

And that too, incredibly fluently.

“… … I will not doubt… … .”

“I don’t think I’ll be suspicious at this point, right?”

“… … .”

Why is that?

There was a strange sense of defeat on Professor Cross’s face.
