Chapter 443: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
324. A bit suspicious (1)
The older sister’s whining didn’t last long.
And they came up with a pretty good solution.
Rather than going right now, I would like to go with you when I can.
To be more precise, I’m going down south next week, not this week.
Anyway, that was the end of the eldest sister’s story, and I started making various preparations with Professor Cross.
“Just trust this master. Who am I? Have I not been in and out of Dreniques for hundreds of years?”
For some reason, he was a bit too bluff this time, but he still seemed excited, so I decided to go along with it.
“Hmm, this sounds good. This is the Draconic outfit.”
“Has the trend changed?”
“huh?”
“No. This is good. Black.”
“Yeah, you can just put that on. If you’re a war merchant, you should wear a black coat.”
So I chose the clothes and decided on the concept of what kind of war merchant I would sell since I had already started.
I don’t want it to attract too much attention, so I think it would be good to have something that soldiers wouldn’t be too interested in even if they saw it.
“I’d rather have these kinds of sundries than the corrosive ones.”
Although corrosion varies depending on the type, it is a dizzying sight for soldiers in uniform.
Back in my day, all the side dishes that came out as food supplies were tasteless. It was fortunate that they at least provided us with some staple food.
So, on days when war merchants would come with only food or luxury items, they would often steal all the wages and vouchers.
“How do you know so much? Did Count Sogress teach you such things when you were young?”
“Isn’t it possible to have indirect experiences these days through adventure books?”
“… … I read a book by a gentleman who writes adventures so vividly, even though I don’t know who he is.”
To be exact, it’s more of a war story than an adventure story.
The author is none other than me.
This is a war log that will never be used again.
“Even you can speak Draconic. Are you a spy sent by Draconic?”
“You noticed.”
“Damn, I raised a spy.”
As we were finishing our preparations, giving and receiving attention, Professor Cross suddenly asked.
“Wait a minute, did you have a good trip? I heard you were going around here and there during the vacation?”
“Oh, yes. That went very well.”
“I’ve been going around a lot, so I’ve been hearing your name a lot.”
Did I become that famous?
“It makes sense, since he’s solved so many problems in the West.”
“Is that so?”
“It would be impossible for you to be that famous at your age, unless you become His Majesty the Emperor.”
When you become too famous, you get tired wherever you go.
“Anyway, it’s a blessing that someone like you was born in this day and age.”
“Is this a blessing?”
“Yes. If only he had been a few decades later, he would have made a name for himself on the battlefield. As a human weapon.”
An experience that left me speechless after a long time.
Indeed, without any hesitation, my power would be a tremendous threat to the enemy.
He can unleash large-scale magic multiple times, summon menacing and gigantic summons, and is a friend of dragons, summoning a giant sword to sweep across the battlefield.
Even close combat that works for ordinary wizards doesn’t have much effect against ordinary opponents, and if it’s dangerous, you can hide in the shadows.
Therefore, this power does not need to be used in war.
I hope there won’t be any war in the future.
“So, you should consider hiding it a bit. Of course, it’s still noticeable, but the real power you possess should be hidden as much as possible.”
“I know. I’ll keep that in mind.”
“You rascal. You rascal, at times like this, huh? You talk back and say, “What’s the big deal?”
I was so dumbfounded that I just laughed.
Anyway, the preparation didn’t take too long.
I’m ready to go to bed and I don’t feel awkward at all.
Since both of them speak Draconic fluently, there’s no chance of their identities being revealed.
I’m even confident that I could live in Drenique right now without being suspected at all.
“There are all kinds of ways to get there, right?”
“What do you think I am? You and I can easily teleport. But if you use it twice, you’ll need to recuperate for an hour. Well, if you add some magic power, it’ll be easier.”
Well, that’s about the level of cooperation.
By the way, Professor Cross, or a wizard like Saul Hangston, seems to be able to teleport without a separate device.
“Actually, it’s possible because I’m a lich. I use it by changing my body. You know? If you don’t use a separate device, your body will be torn apart during teleportation. But it will be restored anyway.”
I just realized that this was a rather ignorant method.
“For your information, I will be going in your stead, including the person I am moving with.”
“That’s gruesome.”
“Sometimes only the upper body remains.”
This also solves the problem of getting to the border.
“Oh. Two more people are going with me.”
“huh?”
I opened my waistband to reveal a mini golem, and Karnas popped out from my arms.
“Kkuruk!”
[Well, we are also living beings.]
I pointed at the guys and asked.
“Is teleportation okay?”
The answer I got back was quite excellent.
“… … If I do something wrong, I’ll teleport and only my head will remain?”
* * *
If you do it wrong, you’ll end up with no head at all, let alone a scalp.
Ernest.
Leila.
And Priscilla and Dorian asked if they could go together.
Actually, I was the one who brought it up first.
But Professor Cross, who checked the net, shook his head.
“No. This time it’s illegal immigration. It’s on a different level.”
I’m not sure if it’s okay to just throw around the word “illegal immigration” like that, but that’s what they say.
Unfortunately, I can’t go with the guys I always go with this time.
“Dragoncrane. It’s a place I may never be able to visit… … .”
“That’s too bad. You know what? There used to be a lot of people traveling to Draenic. Before the war.”
“Even if I get caught, if I do something like asceticism, they won’t kill me since I’m a priest.”
Anyway, the conversation ended with everyone not going.
Funnily enough, as soon as the three of them left, Professor Cross breathed a sigh of relief.
“Whew. Looks like we’ve managed to avoid the situation where only our eyes are left behind.”
“You’re not really saying that’s the reason?”
“Why not? You and your five friends, move them all at once? You might as well not go at all.”
I guess he was sincere.
Even a wizard as powerful as Saul Hangston seems to have clear limitations when it comes to teleporting without a platform.
“But can I learn that later?”
“If you want to learn, you have to come back after finishing analyzing the codes of all 8-chain level magics perfectly. I wonder if I should do that. But for someone like you… … wouldn’t it be quick? What do you think, do you want to learn?”
“I’m not rich.”
“Ah. Your body being torn apart? With magic power, you don’t have to worry about that.”
Well then, what?
“But there’s no romance.”
“what?”
“The fun of adventure lies in moving.”
Professor Cross lets out a blank laugh as if it’s ridiculous.
It’s such a long distance that I have no choice but to use the teleportation platform to move around more efficiently, but…
If that happens every time, isn’t it a lack of romance?
Well, romance and efficiency are inversely proportional.
And one more thing.
“It’s a bit complicated.”
“Is that so? Hmm. That’s true. I’m used to it now, so I can do it with my eyes closed.”
It doesn’t seem like a simple enough magic to use in an emergency situation.
“What about that powder?”
“It’s a kind of catalyst. Should I say that it increases magical reactivity and removes the restrictions on teleportation?”
There’s just too much to prepare for without leveraging the platform.
Of course, these drawbacks don’t mean anything since you can move around without a platform.
“While we’re on the subject, I think this is the course we’ll cover this semester.”
“Good.”
Anyway, the preparations were completed, and I took the hand that Professor Cross gave me and injected magic power into it.
“Hmm… … This is truly a different kind of magic.”
Even the faint admiration was fleeting.
I felt like I was being surrounded by magical powers surging from all directions… … .
“Close your eyes.”
Ddddddd!
I felt as if my whole body was vibrating and everything around me was spinning.
It feels longer than the platform.
Unlike teleportation platforms where the entrance and exit are already set, does the process of activating the coordinates of the destination take a little longer?
We’ll learn more about it in class this semester, but it’s definitely an interesting magic trick.
How long did the throbbing sensation last?
“Okay. Now heat it up.”
When I finally opened my eyes, the gloomy scenery typical of the East came into view.
The eastern region is somewhat slower to develop than other regions due to its proximity to the border.
“That’s amazing.”
“Right? You really want to learn?”
I nodded my head in agreement and looked around.
It seems to be quite close to the border, and it seems that this place was once a post station.
A place used as a supply base.
It is no longer in use now that the war is over.
Now, only the ruins remained, and I felt strangely lonely.
“If you want to teleport without being seen by anyone, there’s no better place than a post station. Probably no one will see us coming.”
Is that really true?
I watched the breathing of a person I could sense not far away.
“First, sit down for a moment and prepare your disguise… … .”
“wait a minute.”
My mother said so.
The breathing of a person preparing something is very thin and shallow, but at the same time, it is tense as if it could burst out at any moment.
That’s the breath I’m feeling right now.
To be exact… … ‘breaths’.
There are two types of breathing.
One is because I’m nervous.
One is fear.
“Someone is coming.”
As soon as he finished speaking, people started walking out from the surroundings one by one.
Judging from their appearance, they certainly don’t seem to be serving in the Imperial Army, and they have a strangely rough impression, and the weapons they hold are closer to individual weapons than official ones.
However, there is something strangely restrained… … .
I should say that he feels more like a mercenary with a military background than a simple mercenary.
But there are five of those guys.
“What? Are you travelers?”
That’s not all, some are hiding behind the walls.
The numbers are the total column.
That’s not the end.
“Yes. I was just taking a break.”
While I was answering, I raised my senses to assess the situation around me, and in the meantime, one of the guys tapped the blade of his sword against my palm.
“But what should we do? We were here first. The place isn’t that big. Can’t we go somewhere else?”
The atmosphere is strange, and the situation is odd.
These guys asked us if we were tourists.
So in general, there is no reason to be wary of travelers.
Because I am literally a tourist.
But now their attitude is very aggressive and they seem to be keeping their distance.
With the intention of using force if necessary.
“Why should it be like that?”
“Well… because we got here first?”
“Hey guys, these two guys don’t seem to understand when you speak nicely.”
Why is that?
It doesn’t seem like we directly saw the teleportation.
like…….
It looks like they’re trying to get us out of this area somehow.
“Damn. We have a long way to go, so why don’t we just take care of it and leave? We didn’t see any of those guys on our way here anyway.”
There was a hint of urgency and fatigue in the words that came out as if the guy was annoyed.
and-
“Ugh, ugh.”
Even some very faint sounds can be heard.
These guys, there’s something fishy about them.
