◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (173)

Adelson let out a small laugh as Ryan’s eyes widened.

“Hehehe, I was planning on telling you this later…….”

Then he got up from his seat, went somewhere, and came back carrying a small box.

The box looks quite sturdy and even has a lock on it.

I don’t know what was inside, but it was definitely something of considerable importance.

Lian asked.

“What is this?”

“It’s processed Kranium. It was made through many tests based on the method that Mr. Lian had previously taught me.”

I spoke to Adelson about Cranium a long time ago.

In relation to that, he commissioned Adelson to study Kranum, and although it was slow, he was gradually making progress.

Now, kranum, which is only used as a precious metal, can be combined with copper and processed in a special way to allow for the storage and even amplification of magical power.

It was because of this background that Lian was able to talk to General Sangklen about going to the Kaiser Mine.

“But it’s quite unstable right now. I guess it’s like I might only succeed once or twice out of a hundred attempts?”

“Is this… a success?”

“Yes. If Sylvia were to use this, she would be able to produce magical powers close to that of a 4th circle. Of course, she wouldn’t be able to use 4th circle magic.”

“For example, you’re saying that the same Fireball can be raised to the level of power used by a 4th circle magician?”

“That’s correct.”

Adelson said with a grin.

Lian nodded to him.

If that’s really the case, then it’s a completely different story.

Anyway, the magic that wizards use in war is limited.

What’s more, if you’re a wizard who can use a 4th circle level fireball,

‘Every unit will want it.’

However, it is highly unusual for a wizard to belong to a private independent unit rather than to the royal palace.

There will be strict control from others, and above all, it is impossible to predict what will happen in the palace.

Ryan seemed to think for a moment, then said to Adelson.

“First of all, please keep Sylvia with you, Mr. Adelson. I will also find a way to keep her.”

“Yes, in the meantime, I will try harder to reduce the chances of failure.”

If the processing method of Cranium is properly realized, the map of the continent may change.

“How many successful Kranums are there in total?”

“Unfortunately, there are only two.”

“You said the success rate is 1-2% now? Then how long does it take to make one?”

“Haa…… Well, if I’m lucky, I might be able to make one or two a year. And that’s if I’m lucky. It takes at least two to three weeks to process one.”

If we increase our workforce, our possibilities will increase, but we cannot increase our workforce haphazardly.

Not only was the processing of kraanium a very advanced technology, but the processing method had to be thoroughly prevented from leaking out.

‘In reality, it is almost impossible to commercialize it… … .’

In that case, the only way is to dispose of what has been created at the highest possible cost.

Of course, Adelson is much more of an expert in that regard.

“Then should I give this to you later?”

“Yes, we can talk about this again once the matter with Sylvia is resolved.”

“Let’s do that. I hope it turns out well.”

“I’ll try my best, hehe.”

“I’ll always support you! Oh, and I forgot to mention this.”

“……?”

“Meldir is also helping me create attribute weapons. He’s a genius, isn’t he?”

“Meldir? Is he there?”

“Yes, I’m learning magic from Sylvia and making attribute weapons at the same time, and the speed at which I’m learning them is no joke. I joked that I could easily get into the 3rd circle in a year.”

Ryan smiled faintly at Adelson’s words.

Sure, that could be possible, given the guy’s talent.

As Lian smiled happily at the news of Meldir, Adelson continued.

“So, I will try to provide as much support as possible from above, along with Lady Sylvia. If we do it well, I think a new talent may be born in the magic world.”

“Thank you for always being considerate.”

After talking a few more things about what was going on with Adelson, Ryan stood up.

Isn’t there one last thing left to do here?

The next day, Lian went back with a piece of shattered wound.

Because Diana sent me a message asking to meet.

Giggle.

Lian entered with the sound of an old door creaking.

A heavier atmosphere than usual.

Everyone was waiting for Lian in silence, their mouths tightly shut.

Diana, who was in the center of the pub, stood up from her seat.

“People have a lot of questions they want to ask. Can you answer them?”

“of course.”

Despite the heavy atmosphere, Lian seemed completely unconcerned and answered briefly before sitting across from Diana.

And then I looked around at the mercenaries around me.

“Hmm…….”

A wide range of age groups gathered together.

Below, there were guys in their late teens to late thirties.

Lian nodded and asked Diana.

“You mean my answer comes first before you answer?”

Nod.

“Okay, what do you want to ask?”

As soon as Lian finished asking her question, a man next to her opened his mouth.

“What do we do when we become soldiers? Do we become dogs of the kingdom?”

“……ha.”

This is what the first question is like.

But judging by the way the mercenaries’ eyes sparkled with murder at that question, it seemed like it was one of the most important questions.

‘It’s one of the bad things.’

One of the reasons mercenaries dislike the military is the image of them as the ‘dogs of the kingdom’.

He is a soldier who values ​​orders above all else, so he has the image of doing anything the kingdom orders him to do.

Lian shook her head.

“That’s the wrong expression. It’s too strange to say ‘dog of the kingdom.’ Then let’s ask the opposite.”

Lian looked at the guy who asked the question and said.

“Are you a money dog? You mercenaries will do anything for money.”

“what?”

“Money is a dog! We still have to consider things to some extent!”

The backlash suddenly burst out. Lian spoke calmly to him.

“The same goes for soldiers. It’s true that they follow the kingdom’s orders, but they don’t give out ridiculous orders.”

“Huh, are you saying that without knowing what the soldiers did?”

“You too often take bribes and harass or kill good people. Soldiers have done wrong things too, but they were all killed or punished.”

The mercenaries kept their mouths shut at Lian’s words.

Because there was nothing to refute.

“Hey, listen. If you haven’t heard anything, then get out. There are other people waiting too.”

After that, the mercenaries’ questions poured in.

I don’t know what on earth Diana said that had so many questions, but Lian silently answered them all.

“Then, what was the name of that…… territory?”

“Adelant.”

“Ah! Are we also settling in the Adelant territory?”

“okay.”

“Then can we get married too? Not like we’re at war every day?”

“War doesn’t happen that often. Of course, you have to train every day, but that alone provides a steady salary. Well, if you have a partner, you can get married.”

Actually, when we moved to Adelant this time, quite a few of the unit members’ families came with us.

Lian glanced away and looked at the window.

So much time had passed that the sun was already setting.

I think this is enough sincerity shown to Diana.

“I understand what you are worried about, but no matter where you are or what you do, there will always be problems and concerns that come with it.”

Knock knock.

Lian stood up from her seat.

“I have no intention of forcing you. The choice is yours. But one thing is certain…….”

Swish.

Lian turned her head and looked at them.

The mercenaries who were there looked at Lian with their mouths tightly shut at Lian’s gaze.

“Perhaps this offer could be the first and last opportunity of your lives.”

“……Thank you for your time. I will go to the top of Hamel tomorrow myself.”

At Diana’s words, Lian nodded and left the bar.

I talked so much that my mouth started to stink.

But I felt relieved that I had done everything I could.

“Should I ask Mr. Adelson to buy me a meal?”

On the way back, a small curve was drawn at the corner of Lian’s mouth.

The next day, Diana came as promised.

Diana, who came to the top of Hamel, came with two men, the guys I saw at the pub yesterday.

“Have you made a decision?”

“I will follow. But before that, there is one thing I would like to ask.”

“Do it.”

It was a cool answer, just like Diana’s personality.

I felt a sense of relief when I started talking about the conclusion first.

Lian nodded in response to Diana’s question, who had remained silent yesterday.

“How many people can it accommodate?”

“……?”

It was a completely unexpected question.

Lian asked Diana with a puzzled expression.

“How many are you planning to bring with you when you ask that?”

“Around seven hundred people, at most.”

“seven hundred?”

“……Is it too much?”

At Lian’s question, the expressions of the guys on either side, including Diana, darkened slightly.

Lian shook her head.

“Not at all. But that’s surprising. There are so many mercenaries who want to become soldiers?”

“Because everyone feels a strong sense of skepticism about life, not knowing what will happen tomorrow.”

The two mercenaries nodded with bitter expressions at Diana’s words.

They became mercenaries to survive somehow, but on the battlefield, they were worth less than flies.

Lian nodded.

“Of course. But you must follow the rules I mentioned. Diana, you are responsible for that part.”

“Okay. So, would you be able to promote these two people to executive positions?”

“You can find out if you take the test.”

Nod.

“What more could you ask for?”

“Nothing. It’s just… something feels strange.”

Diana was at a loss about the current situation.

They had lived their entire lives as mercenaries, but now they were joining the military that they considered their enemy.

But all of that was possible because it was Lian.

If it had been someone else’s recommendation, I would have just cut off the guy’s head.

Diana stood up with those who had come with her. Lian also stood up and extended his hand to Diana.

“Welcome. It’s going to be tough from now on, so you better be prepared.”

“Hehe, don’t expect it.”

“Then, when you’re ready, come to Adelant. I’ll be ready.”

“Get everything ready and go within a month.”

With those words, Diana left. Then Adelson came into Lian’s room, where she was alone.

“It seems like the conversation ended well.”

“Yes, it’s all thanks to Mr. Adelson.”

“What have I done?”

“If it weren’t for Mr. Adelson, I wouldn’t have known about Diana.”

In a way, it seems like I met a lot of people starting with my chance encounter with Adelson.

Since starting her new life, Adelson has been a benefactor to Ryan.

“So when will you be returning?”

“I have to go tomorrow. I have to accept applicants soon.”

“Whew… With the fame of the Arrowhead Unit right now, I bet a lot of people will flock there?”

“Well, I wish that were the case, but…….”

It is true that the Arrowhead Unit has achieved many successes, but it is the Unit that has suffered more than any other Unit.

Just looking at the amount of training they undergo, other units frown and turn away from it.

But how many people will come to this unit?

But after returning to the unit, Lian was speechless as he looked at the crowd of applicants.

* * *

The move from Kurtein to Adelant was not that difficult.

This is because everything had already been prepared by royal command, so all that was required was to literally just ‘go with your body.’

“……Are you excited?”

Isaac, who was moving beside Lian with the procession of many carriages, could not hide his pounding heart.

Just receiving a title is a huge deal, but who would have thought that you would also be granted a fief?

Of course, it is not large in scale and is located in the outskirts, but the fact that the territory was granted is a huge achievement in itself.

When we almost reached Adelant,

“……uh?”

Many people, including Lian, could not hide their bewildered expressions as they looked at the road leading to Adelant.

A territory adjacent to the border and with fertile land, yet neglected by many.

That’s why this territory came to Lian…

“Haha… So this is a place with such a twist.”

Isaac looked ahead, letting out a small laugh.

This road seems far from what is meant by fertile land.

Lian just looked at the road and spoke softly.

“There’s a lot to do from the start.”

And at those words, Isaac had to force a sad smile.
