Chapter 399: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
294. I will remember it.
The incident was concluded more easily and simply than expected.
When I came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
The source was sealed, and those who had gained power from it lost their power again.
There seemed to be some side effects, but I didn’t die like someone else.
“Your Majesty… … ?”
“What happened here?”
They probably realized that their power was gone and came here to find their king.
“Soo, don’t breathe!”
“Why did you suddenly collapse?”
And a faint scream can be heard from afar.
Perhaps the closest aides who received power directly from Nura also died together.
Dane asked them with confusion, suspicion, and hostility.
“Have you lost your strength?”
“How, how about that… … .”
A look of surprise and astonishment.
They seem to think that only they know.
“It can’t be helped, since the person who gave me the strength is dead.”
“You, no way!”
An ominous atmosphere.
I nodded and pointed to the passage behind me, leading down into the underground space.
“Look inside. There is evidence that your king worshipped the devil.”
Their eyes were full of suspicion.
Some even came running with their weapons drawn.
Although they did not attack right away, they were prepared to attack if they were stopped.
I waited patiently for some of them to enter and emerge from the underground space.
And shortly after-
“It came out!”
“What happened? The chief, no, His Majesty!”
In an ominous atmosphere.
The first person to come out of the underground space opened his mouth blankly.
“Devil worship… was… true… … .”
Everyone seemed shocked by those words and the place became quiet.
The second person to come out then came out with the evidence I had left behind.
A camel skull with engraved six-pointed star.
There’s even a weird looking skeleton lord there.
Then, as evidence came out one after another, any room for doubt completely disappeared.
“Ah, devil worship… … .”
“Somehow… … I feel strangely tired on days when I use my strength… … .”
“The devil’s power entered my body… … .”
Perhaps the guy named Nura didn’t have much persuasive power or authority among these tribes.
All rebellions are like that.
Even if we proceed with securing legitimacy and justification, we are still lacking in gaining trust.
From what I’ve heard, it seems like Nura used this power to forcefully push through the rebellion.
“Did you see the underground space under the sanctuary? There are a lot of demonic symbols in there… … .”
“I think I’ve seen this sentence somewhere. A merchant from the Empire told me about it.”
“Yes, Demon. Demon!”
In that sense, other citizens, or rather, tribesmen, were quick to accept this situation while also denying it.
“What should we… …do now?”
“Joe, the chief… … is dead… … .”
That’s something you have to figure out.
We simply took steps to retrieve the demon’s power and prevent it from spreading further.
We have considered in advance the ‘secondary’ matters that will follow in the process.
That’s why I did various things for Priscilla and Nura while I was there.
“Can we go now, Dane?”
I shook my head at Leila’s question.
“No. There’s still some left.”
It’s almost time to come.
I mean, Benatio and Jenna, who were sent in advance.
“There, here it comes.”
As I looked outside at Ernest’s words, I saw a group of people approaching me, crossing the desert sand.
A flag held while riding a camel.
The emblem on the flag is that of the Smar people.
That is, they are from the patriarch’s side.
“Huh, huh?”
“Over there… … Chief… … Is that you?”
Those who had joined the rebellion without even knowing English were now at a loss.

Benatio and Jenna probably did a pretty good job.
“You really convinced me.”
Priscilla’s face turned into a look of surprise.
Of course, it wouldn’t have been easy to explain and convey the inside story to someone who didn’t know each other and then persuade them to come this far.
“It went down well, Dane.”
It’s just like Leila said.
It went down well.
We’ve completed the loophole we needed to get out of here, and now it’s up to the ‘Smar Tribe’ to resolve this amongst themselves.
“I’m sorry if I’m being rude, Mr. Dane.”
Dorian, who had been preparing for any eventuality, breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not that it wasn’t, but if things went wrong and the story went something like ‘the king was killed’, they would have had to be subdued in some way.
Adventure is important, but more important than that is avoiding dangerous situations as much as possible.
“Are you Dane Sogress?”
In that sense, the Smar tribe that Benatio and Jenna had successfully brought in approached me with a friendly gaze as soon as they saw me.
“That’s right.”
The man who spoke to me was quite large in build and had a Smar tattoo on his face.
“I am Mukhtar. I am the eldest son of the deceased chieftain and the rightful leader of the Smar tribe.”
He continued, emphasizing that he was a legitimate leader.
“I heard the story from the two of you. I came here and saw that something must have happened. That is, since these rebels did not attack me even though they saw me.”
Mukhtar looked at the helpless ‘rebels’ behind me.
Even if Nura pushed through with force and led the rebellion and I had no choice but to participate, it wouldn’t look good.
“It feels a little different, you know. What happened? Seriously, is that guy worshipping the devil?”
“Come and see for yourself.”
Seeing once is believing.
Mukhtar, who had just returned from his search for the underground space, spoke to me with a dumbfounded expression.
“It really was. You really did worship the devil. Then, being intoxicated by the devil’s power… …you did things like that.”
“Only the dead would know. In any case, he died from a magical outburst.”
There are research results that show that the power of the demon amplifies evil spirits.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that a new intention emerged where none existed originally.
In the end, it was because Noura had such feelings that this happened.
“It’s embarrassing. Not only what our tribe has suffered because of this, but… … to receive help from outsiders.”
“We just took back the dangerous power. It’s just one of the consequences of that process.”
“No. Thanks to you, our tribe may be able to become one again.”
Mukhtar shook his head, got down from his camel, and walked past me to stand in front of the trembling people.
And shouted.
“Listen, everyone! Your chieftain speaks to you now!”
A booming voice.
A sound so loud that it seemed as if it was filled with magical power spread throughout the desert.
“You all participated in the rebellion for whatever reason, and because of that, our Smar tribe was brought to the brink of collapse!”
At those words, fear spread everywhere.
For any group, the failure of a rebellion, or the punishment of its participants, is simple.
death.
To prevent it from ever taking root again.
but-
“But! Considering the threats made by the leader of the rebellion, Nura, and the power received from the devil, I will not punish you for your sins this time!”
The eldest son of the chieftain, Mukhtar, seemed to have chosen mercy and a future for the tribe over revenge and punishment.
“You… forgive us?”
“oh my god…….”
The Smar tribe must have suffered greatly from the last rebellion.
That’s why everything is lacking right now.
Also, if we leave these people who broke away from the Smar tribe alone, it is obvious that they will fight each other at some point.
So Mukhtar made a pretty smart choice.
“So, those of you who wish to participate in the rebuilding of the tribe, prepare to leave now!”
At those words, everyone bowed down to Mukhtar.
Is this just the desert tribes’ way?
Anyway, things seem to have worked out well.
And after a while.
“Dane Sogress. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you and your companions.”
Mukhtar’s behavior was quite surprising.
He folded one of his arms and held it out to me, then took something out of his bosom and handed it to me.
“It is the treasure of the Smar tribe. It is another treasure besides the spring water that Nura stole.”
That was a kind of sentence.
Judging from the fact that it’s called a ‘treasure’, it must be something that is held in very high esteem.
“Thanks to you, I was able to uncover this issue and solve it.”
Mukhtar seemed genuinely grateful.
“Although those who rebelled met a meaningless death… … .”
It was beyond vain, it was stupid.
Even if they had created a kingdom and invaded the empire’s territory outside the desert, nothing would have changed.
Because Alteon isn’t a country that can collapse to that extent.
“Vain thoughts have taken many precious lives from this desert.”
Mukhtar seemed genuinely sorry.
And, he seems to be a person who can see a little far ahead.
“Dane Sogress. You said you were an Imperial. Then you must be of considerable standing within the Empire.”
“It’s more my family than mine.”
“Yes. They are a family known even in this remote desert.”
Mukhtar sighed and asked me.
“If it’s okay, what happened in this desert… … .”
“You can rest assured about that.”
“… … Thank you.”
I think I know what you’re trying to say.
“Although they participated in the rebellion, in reality it was only because they were afraid of Nura’s power.”
So, they don’t want the empire to be known as ‘a tribe in the desert has declared a kingdom’.
Because this desert is nominally imperial territory.
“You don’t have to worry.”
“hmm.”
Mukhtar nodded and took something out of his pocket.
“This is a token of gratitude. It is a treasure of our tribe.”
I was a little surprised by the word treasure.
“Can you give me the tribe’s treasure like this?”
“I plan to get it back someday.”
I thought it was a strange thing to say, but when I heard what he said next, it made sense.
“If you ever need our help, whisper this spell while imbuing that sentence with the power of your magic. Say ‘Sap.’ It means ‘oath’ in the traditional language of our Smar people.”
Safra.
I accepted the sentence.
“Then we will come to help you. One way or another.”
“I will remember that.”
It seems like I gained quite a bit from this adventure.
Love in a city called Pecs.
And the oath of the Smart tribe.
There are also treasures, knowledge, and countless other rewards to be had.
of course-
The adventure is not over yet.
The way back.
We must finally uncover the traces of Arcana, the greatest goal of this adventure.
“Professor Dane, Priscilla said there are still a few people left to treat. And she said we need to drive out more of the remaining demon power in this area.”
Well, there’s no need to move in a hurry.
“It’s already a blessing, but you’re even getting treatment… … .”
“They were the ones who had the spirit of the demons just now, so they had to be purified like that to avoid any trouble later.”
Mukhtar seemed impressed by my words.
“Thank you… ….”
“I hope you thank Priscilla over there rather than me.”
“Are you a priest?”
“Yes.”
“You are the perfect person to drive away the evil spirit that Nura has been carrying.”
I wonder if he is qualified to do so.
Even though his mouth is a bit rough, it must be because of his nature that he cannot pass by an injured person.
“Dorian, it seems like it might take a while?”
“Yes, Mr. Dane. It might take some time.”
“We have to consider Priscilla’s rest as well.”
Well, then there’s nothing we can do.
“Let’s stay for a day.”
I have no choice but to spend one more day in this desert.
“Is that okay?”
Mukhtar smiled brightly at my words.
“There is a long-standing custom in the desert of entertaining nobles.”
I think I’ll be able to sleep somewhere with a ceiling today.
