Chapter 529: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
362. The Legend of the Dragon (4)
“Ugh… Ugh!”
Karnas is on guard.
“Caeng! Caeng!”
Torki was scared and lifted his buttocks.
And the mini golem is… … .
[Is this… … magic power having a will?]
He was telling a story I had never heard before.
But those words were not wrong.
This magical power that I am feeling right now.
Because it came to me and spoke to me as if it were alive.
Is this really the dragon’s magic?
But why are you able to talk to me now?
[Release me… … .]
Although the voice was occasionally interrupted, the communication was clear.
I examined the dragon’s body.
It looks like he hasn’t woken up yet, as his back is still going up and down.
If so, then this is… … .
[It’s a kind of ideology, Dane Sogress.]
Thought.
It is a concept that has almost disappeared now, but it is said that in the past during the time of the Kingdom of Arcana, very powerful magicians were able to leave behind ‘thoughts’ by putting their will into their magic.
Then, the thought will work according to the will of the magician.
To possess a person.
Sometimes it explodes.
Or transformed by some magic.
But even at that time, the concept of an idea that spoke as if it were alive did not exist.
Is this really a dragon?
[Never be possessed. There’s no telling what will happen when you become possessed by the dragon’s thoughts.]
So, the dragon isn’t speaking directly, but it seems like the remaining thoughts it had before being cursed are somehow conveying their will to me now.
But it seems to be a pretty high-level idea.
[If you release me… … I promise you great power and wealth… … This is a magical oath… … .]
You know how to set conditions.
I’m starting to get interested.
[Dane Sogress, you’re not going to listen, are you?]
“I have to hear it. I’m curious.”
[Oh my god… … .]
The mini golem added, looking dumbfounded.
[Well… … where would there be something you wouldn’t be interested in?]
It was a good thing I didn’t bring the other guys.
I feel it instinctively.
This idea can never be withstood by ordinary magical power.
It’s fortunate that my magic power is special, but if it were another person, I would have been possessed the moment that thought spoke to me.
In the midst of all this, Torki seemed to be foaming at the mouth and hid in the pocket closest to my magical power.
“Caeng… … .”
“It’s okay. Don’t be scared.”
On the other hand.
“Kkuruk!”
Karnas was burning with hostility.
[I guess it’s because I think I have to protect you. And more than I thought… … you’re not being pushed around.]
“okay?”
[The scale of the fights between dragons and dragons is so great that they are recorded in relatively great detail in the records of the Arcana. Usually, only dragons that are ‘capable of fighting’ engage in fights.]
“Otherwise, why wouldn’t we have fought in the first place?”
[The hierarchy is set. You can’t even think about opposing them. That’s the world of dragons. But looking at that mini dragon doing that now… … I don’t think it thinks it’s being pushed around.]
For a moment I was dumbfounded.
A guy smaller than me, not pushed around by the guy filling up this huge structure?
[Isn’t this guy a mutant in the first place?]
“It’s a mutation.”
[Then it is quite possible. Even though it is just an idea, it is not pushed back even though it contains the dragon’s magic power… … .]
Karnas means that this guy is a more amazing dragon than you think.
[I promise you… … power and wealth that no human can experience… … release me… … .]
In the midst of all this, the voice of thought is heard without ceasing.
Power and wealth.
[This is… … the oath of magic power… … .]
But what’s more interesting is what comes after that.
“Does the magic oath apply to thoughts as well?”
[If your magic is applied, it will be applied the moment you mention the oath in any way. Not only thoughts, but even dragons are no exception. According to Dekanius’s expression… … Many wizards have suffered greatly after making a bad oath.]
What happens the moment you break a promise is simple.

In some way or another, you will lose what you pledged to do.
In simple terms, it means that what was promised in the oath is actually lost.
In that sense, the ‘wealth and power’ that this ideology talks about now have no meaning.
Although it may be an incredible force by human standards, by dragon standards it is nothing more than scooping up water with a spoon from a huge lake.
Paradoxically, this is why dragons can make as many oaths as they want.
Because the oath works on magic power, it is sometimes said to have divine power.
Anyway, I lightly ignored the words of the ideology.
Even if there is no intention to harm anyone, it is an intention, but even if something stronger is put forth, it is not appealing.
strength.
wealth.
If I wanted that and was obsessed with that idea, I wouldn’t be here now.
Perhaps he would have devoted himself to developing carriages, or before that, he would have sold a large quantity of special magic stones and used the gold to build a castle as big as our count’s.
The same goes for strength.
By now, they’ve probably scoured the continent and even Draenic in search of more ancient aggregates.
But that’s not what happened and I came here.
For Karnas.
It is enough to just confirm that the legend of the dragon is true.
[My thoughts… … are not reaching you?]
I just shrugged my shoulders and looked around.
The body of a giant dragon.
It is something that can never be awakened unless the curse is lifted by force.
“How was the document we looked at earlier?”
[The curse will probably be difficult to lift. It completely restrains your magical powers, and even created a sleeping potion with ridiculous ingredients to put you into an eternal sleep.]
“Then don’t worry.”
An idea is just an idea.
If it doesn’t make an impact, it’s just a voice.
Ben, who had separated from them on the mountain, must have heard a voice following this ideology.
He found Ben, who had just arrived at the place where his thoughts were drifting away, and he continued to send voices to Ben.
To free myself.
But where would Ben have had any power?
You caught a strict person and ruined his life.
So I decided.
“First, I need to get rid of this annoying thought.”
If possible, let’s get rid of this annoying thought.
[Is that okay? Will it affect the dragon?]
“It seems to be separate from the curse. As long as you don’t directly touch that room or the body, there shouldn’t be a problem.”
Of course, problems can arise.
But that’s unlikely, and considering this constant nagging thought…
I need to get rid of it here.
[Stop doing useless things… … Release me… … Please… … I’ve been trapped here for too long… … .]
well.
That’s your business.
“Karnas.”
“Kkuruk?”
“What do you think?”
“Kkuruk! Kkuruk!”
I don’t know exactly what he means, but judging by his expression and reaction, he doesn’t seem to have very good feelings towards this dragon.
[There must be a medium for the thought. Since thoughts are usually made to manifest after the person dies or something happens, even a dragon would not be outside that general category.]
So then, what is the medium of thought?
The way to find out is simple.
I magnified my senses and guessed the direction of the direct force of the thoughts that were speaking to me.
It was only visible for a moment.
The direction in which those thoughts flow.
It was right there, inside the door I had just tried to open.
“This is what I mean.”
I grabbed the doorknob without hesitation.
Crunch, crunch.
The door won’t open.
Unlike the previous two rooms, it appears to be locked.
I considered breaking it open with force, but soon discovered a mechanical device visible through the gap above the door.
[It seems that the mechanical device was installed because the magical power in this area belongs to the dragon, making it difficult to do anything with magical power.]
Well, it’s just a machine.
There are countless people I met on the battlefield of my past life.
Among them was a professional thief, a man who had robbed five noble houses cleanly and was caught while robbing the last one, and was dragged into the battlefield.
Click, click.
At that time, there was a ceasefire and there was no fighting for a while, so I learned it to pass the time when I was bored.
Crunch.
I never knew this could be used like this.
[… … What on earth do you do?]
“Because my mother is an assassin.”
[ah.]
I just talked around a bit.
Even if I tell you, you won’t believe me.
Of course, I have no intention of saying anything.
[I don’t know what your talent is. You’re always opening doors.]
Is this also considered talent?
After getting good at a few things, it seems like they’re giving me talent for everything.
[I think Decanius would have been very happy to meet you while he was alive.]
“why?”
[There was not a single person who met the standards of Lord Decanius. All the wizards who came to become his disciples were rejected and kicked out.]
Hey, maybe you have a weird personality or are someone whose standards are too high.
Anyway, what I encountered through the open door was a much ‘narrower’ space compared to the previous two rooms.
Even though it was small, it was enough space for ten people, but compared to the previous two rooms, it felt shabby.
“There it is.”
But the size of the room doesn’t matter.
The important thing is the cane floating in the middle of the room.
It’s not a particularly special staff, but the jewel embedded in the tip of the staff is a bit unique.
The color is… …black.
I’ve never seen a black gem before.
“I wonder if Wendell would have recognized me.”
If it were Wendell, he would have been very excited, touching it here and there, taking out various tools, and examining the jewel.
Well, does it really matter what the jewel is?
Just the thought of the thoughts flowing out of that jewel right now makes me frown.
[That’s the staff. Be careful, Dane Sogress.]
But before I could even approach with my cane.
Wheezing!
A storm of magical power began to rage in this narrow room.
“Creak? Creak!”
“Caeng!”
[Dane Sogres!]
A voice of thought cut through the cries of the other three.
[Thank you… … Thanks to your magic, I think I can become whole again… … .]
The storm of magical power soon gathered into one point and began to tremble as if it was about to shoot at any moment.
indeed.
The dragon’s thoughts are different, but is this something quite different?
[You must avoid it. Scroll down right now… … .]
I shook my head at the mini golem’s words.
“No, you don’t have to do that.”
[What the heck is that… …the opponent is a dragon!]
“That’s right. It’s the dragon’s will, so why would it be like that?”
I muttered, looking at the core of magical power that seemed to have almost gathered.
“It doesn’t seem that strong.”
