Chapter 397: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
292. There are many treasures.
Nura, who was naturally larger than her peers, dragged her body out of the tent.
The moment you step outside, you are met with stares and people bowing their heads.
It felt thrilling.
A courtesy not received when he was a chieftain.
This is truly a new kingdom, a treatment befitting King Temet.
‘It is still too early to be the emperor. I will proclaim myself emperor after I have devoured some of the imperial territory.’
Everything must be done slowly and step by step. Only then can you be evaluated as a prudent king.
“Ahem. Everyone, get to work.”
Nura waved her hand, and only then did the people raise their heads and turn away.
Noora looked down at her fist with a pleased expression.
This power was discovered in the oasis.
With this power, you will finally be able to become the leader you have dreamed of.
Then, suddenly, Nura remembered the legend of this western desert.
The Western Desert, where demons once resided and then left.
Perhaps, I think, this power is the power of those demons.
The reason why the ‘sanctuary’ was created was to hide the ‘place’ that was discovered after gaining power.
Power is good, but justification is also important.
We need to open a new era, but would it be bad if rumors spread that we gained power by worshipping the devil?
‘We will soon advance beyond the ruler of this desert to the empire.’
Now, this power that you have intercepted will lead you to a prosperous future.
“Your Majesty. Travelers have just entered our ‘territory.’”
Nura smiled with satisfaction at the report she heard at that time.
Territory.
It’s a word I’ve never used before, but that’s why I like it.
I also like this guy who uses that word a lot.
I guess I’ll have to employ this guy later.
“I will go out and pick you up myself.”
If the king came out and met you in person, he would probably be impressed.
Since they are Academy students, I expect they will spread the word about this kind appearance as soon as they return.
Thud, thud.
Nura, who walked with a gait more befitting a commoner than a king, finally faced the travelers.
“Welcome, everyone! Welcome to the desert kingdom of Temet.”
When I spread my arms, I see bracelets and rings filling my wrists.
Ornaments that were hastily made to show the king’s dignity.
When the crown, which did not fit her head properly, became crooked, one of the ministers next to her hastily adjusted its position.
“Ahem. Okay.”
Meanwhile, one of the travelers came out and said hello.
“Hello, Your Majesty. We are students studying at the Imperial Academy. We came to the desert for experiential learning, and we would like to express our gratitude for your hospitality despite the sudden request for a meeting.”
Nura almost opened her mouth slightly for a moment.
These are words and a tone that truly seem to know what ‘dignity’ is.
And that’s not all.
The appearance is also beautiful.
Sleek silver hair and green eyes.
Despite the rough robes worn to block out the desert sand, she exudes beauty.
“Oh my god, there are people like that.”
“No, even though he’s so young, he feels different from us.”
“Academy? What kind of place is that?”
Thanks to this, the tribesmen, or rather the subjects, who had been living in the corners of the desert, were busy gossiping about the travelers who were different from them.
‘My, my authority is falling.’
Noura felt that no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to match that elegance.
Of course I couldn’t admit it.
“I am Dane Sogress, an undergraduate student of the Academy’s Autonomous Major Department. At the same time, I am also the eldest son of the Sogress Count family of the Alteon Empire.”
The Empire of Alteon.
Count Sogres.
‘I’ve heard of it.’
A formidable family whose reputation is known not only to this remote desert tribe, but even to the kingdom.
“The Count of Sogres?”
“Where have I heard of that? It’s a very famous family in the empire, isn’t it?”
“Why did a child from such a family come to this desert… … .”
That’s what I mean.
I thought they wouldn’t be that bad since they’re academy students, but isn’t this a bit too much?
But that’s not the end.
“I am Leila Termion. I am an undergraduate student at the Academy’s Department of Swordsmanship, and also the eldest daughter of the Duke of Termion.”
“… … .”
Why is that?
Why did the two great families of the empire come to this place?

“Termion? Isn’t that a famous family there too?”
“That’s amazing. Could it have been sent by the Empire?”
“They say they do ‘experiential learning’ at the academy.”
“What is that? Experiential learning?”
As the king of the soon-to-be-created kingdom, Noora, who was trying to show off his majesty, could not help but feel embarrassed.
“Ah, ahem. You must have had a hard time coming all the way to the end of this desert.”
“Thank you again for your hospitality.”
Whew.
The bleak sandstorm that blows at that time.
Nura came to her senses.
Aren’t these the children of noble families?
You shouldn’t treat people roughly.
“Your Majesty, I must invite these people in. No, I will do it myself.”
“Oh, I understand, Your Majesty.”
Nura, who was flustered, walked ahead and thought.
Things seem to be going a bit wrong.
‘Wait, this desert is nominally the territory of the Empire, and our tribe, no, the Kingdom… … No, we are still a tribe. In any case, I understand that they recognize our tribe’s autonomy… … Since they already referred to it as a Kingdom, is this a rebellion?’
Noura’s mind was in confusion.
I regret declaring it a kingdom so proudly.
What if they went back and reported that a kingdom had been created in the desert?
‘Then it’s a big problem.’
But it’s already spilt milk.
Nura thought she had to win his favor somehow.
“Come on in, everyone. This is where I will be staying.”
Nura personally walked to the entrance of the tent and guided the group inside.
The inside is different from the tents of other citizens.
A rug made by piecing together the hides of Techeldug.
Stuffed desert sand snake.
A spear that is now considered the weapon of a dead chieftain and a treasure of the tribe.
And then there are the decorations that fill every corner of the tent, and finally the ‘mysterious spring’ that has been passed down through generations of the tribe.
This will be more than enough to satisfy even the children of the empire.
There was just a little problem.
“… … Ahem.”
I couldn’t bring myself to say that it was narrow first.
Too many people to fit in.
So, Nura quickly thought about it.
“Hmm. How about just having one or two students who are qualified to represent us? If too many come, I’m afraid our hospitality will be neglected.”
“Okay, I’ll just go in.”
Fortunately, Dane Sogress, the student who first introduced himself, seemed to understand the intention and nodded his head.
“Your Majesty, treat them with respect as guests. And do not let anyone inside until I say so. We are entertaining important guests.”
“Understood, Your Majesty.”
The chancellor took the rest away, and only Nura and Dane entered the chieftain’s, or rather the king’s, quarters.
As Dane entered, his eyes became more interested than before.
“There seem to be a lot of interesting things.”
“Huh, really?”
Nura smiled happily.
An item that even the high-ranking officials of the empire could afford.
Of course, in the Empire, it is polite not to evaluate trinkets or ornaments before the other person brings it up first.
There was no way Noura knew that.
The fact that Dane brought this up intentionally.
“These are… … stuffed animals.”
“Haha. I hunted it myself. Let me take a closer look.”
Nura proudly showed off her stuffed animals.
I am overflowing with pride.
It seems like he is explaining his achievements as a king.
“This eagle, you know, is the first one I tamed when I was twenty. It went hunting with me on the Tetzeldug hunt, died protecting me, and was stuffed to commemorate its death.”
Taxidermy is one of the luxurious pursuits even in the desert where all materials are scarce.
The very fact that you can possess such a stuffed animal is a statement of status in the desert.
“okay.”
“Would you like to see something else? I have a treasure that I will pass down to future generations.”
“Treasure?”
“Yes. That is the ‘Mysterious Spring’.”
What Noura brought out after saying that was a very ordinary-looking bowl, pulled back from behind her seat and pulled out the curtain.
“I won’t show it to just anyone. This is the real ‘treasure.’”
With those words, Nura drank the water in the bowl in an instant.
And after a while.
“Can you see it?”
Water that rises very slowly in a bowl.
“That is why it is called the fountain of mystery.”
“What a great treasure.”
“This is especially true in this desert. It’s something that has been around for hundreds of years.”
I had no doubt that the Nura I had proudly introduced would have made her presence felt firmly to the students of this academy by now.
Is that why?
Dane also showed interest in other things.
“That’s really interesting. So what is that?”
“Heh heh. Oh, you mean that dagger over there next to the seat? That dagger is… … .”
“No. I’m curious about what’s behind it.”
“What’s that thing behind it?”
“Yes. The thing inside the tent. What should I say… … It seems like there’s something a little different over there.”
At those words, Nura looked at Dane for a moment.
The expression has changed.
It’s not the expression of the boy who was full of curiosity and wonder just now.
“So, I’d like to see it for a moment.”
Also, the voice changed in an instant.
* * *
The expression changes.
And your breathing changes.
That was the information captured by the senses.
And based on that information, there is only one conclusion.
The opponent is nervous.
Of course, I had already anticipated various situations, and the moment I entered the oasis where these tribes were staying, I already sensed the spirit of the demons.
Everything is clear.
It seems that this former chieftain gained power through some means, either through a trace left behind by the Demon Tribe or through an object.
And with that power, he would have started a rebellion and now he would have shared the power among his tribesmen.
“What, what do you want to see? Heh heh. Sorry, but the inside of that curtain is a very secret space, so only I can see it.”
So that’s why you’re answering in such a flustered manner.
What is wrong with interest?
Accepting the power of the Demon Tribe?
Wipe out the tribesmen?
no.
We came here to remove the traces and investigate, but they are trying to do something cruel by eating them all up.
“okay.”
As soon as I said that, I drew up my magical power and wrapped it around the bastard’s body.
The embodiment of magic.
Next is-
“Ugh!”
Approach and control magical powers.
“Do you know what it feels like? If I stir it just a little, all your magic goes wild.”
“T, what is this… … hmph!”
“I think it was like that earlier. Don’t let anyone in until I say so.”
I felt a slight struggle, but it only lasted for a moment.
After confirming that the man had been completely subdued, I opened the curtain behind the chair.
“There are many treasures.”
Dazzling treasures are on display.
When I see that he put it here on purpose, I wonder if he feels a sense of pride when he looks at it whenever he has time.
Anyway, what interests me is the ‘pull’ proudly displayed in the middle of those treasures.
“This is it.”
I feel a very strong energy.
A strong demonic aura, as if it had been soaked in demonic blood for 100 years.
I wrapped my hand in magic and lifted the chisel.
I don’t know how this level of power came to be imbued into something like this, but one thing seems certain.
“It leaves a strong mark.”
The traces left behind by the guys we fought at the Del Orno ruins are considerable.
