Genius Gamer, Reincarnated into a Heroic Family Chapter 293
Garden of Life (2)
Upon returning to the Wilzed family, Ailka wrote a detailed report on the events that occurred at the ancient ruins.
Unlike Princess Citrine, whose outside activities were greatly restricted, the Wilzed family did not interfere much with Ailka’s activities.
In other words, there was no one who could touch her. She was also the one who contributed the most to saving Rowan Wilzed from death, and it could be said that she had established a solid position within the family.
Of course, the elders of House Wilzed did not look very kindly on her.
As a talent who will take over the next family, I can’t stand the sight of a rascal who is running wild in the world as he pleases, even though he should be receiving education from now on.
“A demon has appeared in the ruins of Kaladan… … This is going to be quite a commotion. And an unknown mercenary even took care of it?”
“The name is written as ‘Hawon.’ Princess Ailka, are you sure?”
When the elders questioned her, Ailka tried hard to hide her annoyance and answered politely.
“Yes, that’s true. However, the reason he was able to deal with the demon was because of the critical blow dealt by Herael and our Wilzed expedition team.”
“But in the end, it was written that he played almost all by himself. Wasn’t he an amazing person in his own right? But this is the first time I’ve heard his name… … .”
The council seemed suspicious of Ailka. It was obvious that she was hiding something, but they couldn’t figure it out.
There were more than one or two questions.
It is recorded that there are only four noble-level demons in the world. If someone has defeated such a being, they are at least a 9-star, or maybe even a 10-star that is not recorded, so why bother hiding their name?
“There is no need to hide your name for fear of his power, Little Princess.”
“No way.”
Ailka laughed in vain.
Even if they are a 10-star strongman, they cannot dare to harm the Wilzed family. The family’s thorough defenses can thoroughly defend against even an attack by a 10-star strongman.
If there had been no such defense, now that Rowan Wilzed was crippled, he would have been attacked by other forces.
There were countless 9-star knights and wizards, and even the defensive system was at a level that even a 10-star powerhouse could not dare to surpass, so Ailka had no reason to be afraid.
Even so, the fact that she was hiding some secret meant that there was another reason other than fear.
“… … Lately, I feel like the princess’s secrets have been increasing. I don’t understand why the princess, who will continue the Wilzed family anyway, would keep secrets from us, the pillars of the family. We will soon become the princess’s arms and legs, eyes and ears. It would be bad if our trustworthiness diminished.”
Ailka snorted inwardly.
Whether male or female, the head of a wizarding family is usually the one with the most ability. So it is not strange that Ailka is the head of the family.
However, she is too young now. However, she is already being forced to receive education as a successor, and she is planning to force her into the position of head of the household within the next five years and use her as a puppet.
If you tighten your grip on power while Ailka is still young and ignorant of the ways of the world, it will become irreversible even in the distant future.
Ailka was well aware of her own ignorance. That was why she did not take over the family headship when Rowan Wilzed fell. Now, she had no intention of taking over the family headship right away.
For now, I wanted to live freely, doing as much as I wanted, and slowly study while building my own foundation.
More than anything, I didn’t want to be swayed by the old and cunning council of elders in front of me.
“Hmm… … Okay, good. I guess I should also tell you about the spoils the little princess took.”
Finally getting to the main topic, the elders’ eyes changed. Their eyes were filled with greed.
“We should discuss the ‘Seat of the Table’ before any other loot.”
“This is an item that is also known as one of the world’s top ten magicians’ sacred relics. If news of this spreads, people will probably come after it and come running.”
“This ability to amplify magic and draw on magical power is excellent for improving or developing high-level spells.”
“It would be a perfect fit for the research being conducted at the Blue Tower. If used here, it would surely raise the level of magic of the Wilzed family several times.”
“If it were to be used in war, our council could use it to inflict very powerful damage on a wide area.”
“The research value is also excellent. If we can just figure out the principle of amplifying magic, Wilzed will definitely be able to surpass Ainglas.”
“This will be retrieved by the Council of Elders, studied, and put to good use. Once the princess has established herself as a wise woman, she will be returned to her.”
It was so obvious. He still saw me as a child.
After all, most of the children of wizarding families in their 20s were immature. They learned magic no matter what their families told them to do, did only what they were told, ate only what they were given, and did what they were told.
If you live a thoroughly planned life, you won’t be able to do anything on your own. If you receive successor training like Ailka, you will learn how to think for yourself…
The Council of Elders is trying to quickly retrieve the Seat of the Table before Ailka gains her ego. It is something that any wizard would desire.
“Hmm, if you were to borrow the table seat, when would you like to return it?”
“I will return it to you when I believe that the little princess has definitely grown as a sorceress. It is not yet time to use it.”
It was so absurd that I couldn’t help but laugh.
If I become the head of a household, or if I achieve a certain level of realm, I will take it without any goal plan.
Probably, once they get it back, they will hide it somewhere and not give it back, saying they need to do this research, they need to do that analysis, etc. I know that.
“Then I will use the table seat as my personal item.”
“What! Little Princess, that would be a great loss to the family! To use such an amazing item as your personal possession!”
“It seems that the princess doesn’t know the value of that item… … .”
“No, I know that. But it was a gift from someone I respect. I don’t like the feeling of it being touched by someone else. I’ll just use it myself. Then there’s no need to worry about it being misused, right?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! Princess, are you really planning to bury the infinite value of Seon-tak’s seat like this?”
Ailka answered shamelessly.
“I will soon become the head of the Willzed family, and the stool of the Suntak is the most suitable item for me. I think it will be most effective if I, the next head of the family, use it rather than using it for any other purpose.”
“The little princess is not yet skilled enough to use the throne… … .”
Ailka raised one hand and opened the Blue Hole. The elders swallowed their breath as they looked at the mass of magical power that had now gone from a deep blue to a near-dark blue.
When the Blue Hole magic is mastered, it completely loses its color and turns completely black. A ring of blue magic circles around it, which is why it is called a ‘Blue Hole’, but to be precise, it is closer to a black hole.
The Blue Hole in Ailka was a dark blue color, closer to black than blue.
This also meant that she had almost mastered the Blue Hole.
“I think I have no shortcomings as a wizard. Do I still look like a child to you?”
“that…….”
“That’s enough. There’s no point in continuing this conversation. I’ll take good care of the loot. Please, elders, leave it alone.”
Ailka hummed as she left the council of elders behind, who were clenching their fists and swallowing their anger.
The air is fresh and the sky is blue.
Perhaps sooner or later, a mercenary named ‘Hawon’ will become known to the world.
Personally, she thought it would be cooler if Harang Paul Caladan was rumored to have defeated the demon noble… … .
‘I’m sure you all have your own thoughts.’

It was not for Ailka to interfere up to that point. Harang was drawing a bigger vision than adding a line of subjugating demon nobles to his achievements.
If it were Ailka herself or Citrine, she would have gone around advertising that she was the one who defeated the demon, but Harang has a dream that is on a completely different level from her own ambitions.
‘I don’t know what you’re planning, but… … .’
As long as Harang does it, everything will be fine. * * *
Taniya followed Harang around, and for the first time, she felt regret.
“It’s… so humid and hot here.”
The jungle. It’s a natural environment that drives people crazy. It’s humid and hot, but sweat doesn’t evaporate and there’s no wind.
Even though there were so many bugs, including mosquitoes, it would be amazing if I didn’t get mentally ill.
The path was extremely rugged and difficult, as if it had never been walked on by human feet. It was not an environment that Taniya, who had slightly better physical strength than the average person, could endure.
‘I haven’t seen what the jungles of Earth are like, but I’m sure they’re just as bad, if not worse.’
Harang also shed a cold sweat.
Even though he had superhuman physical abilities, he was still mentally exhausted after walking for a long time in hot and humid weather.
Although I was able to cool my body down with the aura, I didn’t feel the discomfort of sweating profusely, but I still couldn’t avoid the annoyance of bugs swarming me.
-Why don’t you try using divine power?
“Can insects be affected by divine power?”
-Normally, no. But the bugs here are infected with magic. I don’t know why they haven’t evolved, but they’re practically no different from monsters.
At those words, Harang immediately unleashed his divine power. Then, a brilliant light spread out and the bugs fled away in an instant.
“Wow… … If there was something like that, you should have written it a long time ago!”
-You stupid shaman kid. If you engraved the spirit-exterminating spell on an amulet and wore it around your neck, you’d be fine.
“… … !!”
At those words, Taniya immediately used a spell and hung it around her neck. Then, the effect was even more excellent than Harang’s divine power. Not a single bug was attracted within a 10m radius!
-oh…….
Chelain was purely amazed.
Exorcism is a spell that exorcises a large number of evil spirits at once, and it is quite difficult to cast, so it cannot be cast carelessly unless you are a ‘Great Shaman’.
It was quite an impressive feat, as it took four sorcerers to sit around, block the four directions, and pray for three days and nights, but it was completed with just a few strokes of the brush.
“Hehe, hehe. So, I guess we’re on the right track?”
Taniya said, looking at the compass.
This ordinary-looking compass was also a special magical compass that could find the exact destination and geography you wanted. In many ways, it had many mystical functions that were more special than magic.
“We’re almost there.”
Even though the bugs were gone, there was nothing I could do about the heat and humidity. It would be nice to use magic to dispel the cold, but I had to conserve my magic power because the monsters kept appearing. Above all, I couldn’t use my magic recklessly because I didn’t know what would happen in the Garden of Life.
“This is the hundredth time I’ve heard that we’re almost there… … .”
“Wait a minute, shh.”
Harang stopped talking and covered Taniya’s mouth. She nodded quickly and bent down.
Harang, who squinted her eyes, noticed that there were quite a few people in front of her.
‘Is there any noise here?’
He used magic while spreading his influence as widely as possible.
[Silence Field]
Harang, who had completely erased any traces of human presence, turned his eyes white and magnified them like a telescope.
‘……what?’
Then he frowned.
Because I noticed a family seal that I never expected to see here.
Quite a number of articles and researchers.
They were secretly researching something near the Garden of Life, wearing the family seal of ‘Kaladan’.
