Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 186

 

124. Won’t I Become Incredibly Strong?

 

“They’re definitely bringing it dried. It’s hay, right?”

 

Leila looked at the distant marquessate with somewhat anxious eyes.

 

“Nothing will happen, Leila.”

 

“No matter how I look at it, the atmosphere is strange.”

 

Despite Delward’s words, Leila didn’t feel reassured and glared at the marquessate with her arms crossed.

 

This is intuition.

 

Once again, a strange intuition that Dane would cause trouble.

 

‘Something always happened.’

 

Delward thought while looking at such Leila.

 

‘Is she worried about Dane?’

 

Well, they did seem close.

 

She can’t help but worry.

 

That friend Dane has good skills, but…

 

“Brother.”

 

“Yeah?”

 

“It doesn’t seem like he’ll come back anyway, so let’s eat dinner first.”

 

“…”

 

It seems she wasn’t worried after all.

 

“Right, I’m hungry.”

 

“Teachers, shall I cook today?”

 

Even though it’s already been 2 hours since Dane and Priscilla entered the marquessate, everyone is carefree.

 

Delward was so flustered that he stammered and asked.

 

“Ar-aren’t you worried? Your friend went in there?”

 

At those words, the three of them tilted their heads simultaneously.

 

“Why would we worry about Dane?”

 

“Elder Brother, Dane will come out alive no matter where he goes, right?”

 

“That’s right. Delward Teacher, worrying about Dane Teacher is the most useless thing in the world.”

 

Delward was left speechless by their truly composed reaction.

 

What on earth happened between them for that fellow Dane to receive such infinite trust?

 

“If it’s Dane… probably even if he crossed over to Drenik like brother, we wouldn’t worry?”

 

Shocking words.

 

Just how amazing must he be.

 

“Re-really? For real?”

 

“Yeah. He’d probably survive even in front of the Drenik Emperor.”

 

Leila was as calm as if saying ‘the sun rose from the east today.’

 

As if calmly confessing facts.

 

In the midst of this, contact came from Dane.

 

“Dane?”

 

-Leila, something came up.

 

The whole story was quickly conveyed.

 

And Leila nodded, saying she knew it would be like this.

 

“So, you’re going to rescue the children?”

 

-Yeah. I roughly figured out the location, so I need to make a plan.

 

“Our help?”

 

-If you come in, you’ll draw attention first. So there’s something I’d like you to do.

 

Dane’s request was this.

 

Since they had to go to County of Gangpar anyway to reach the Habarosk Mountain Range, he meant for them to guide the children there.

 

He even said he’d already finished contacting the Imperial Palace.

 

“Why are you so fast?”

 

-It’s a matter that needs to be resolved quickly. Sorry. I might be a bit late.

 

Leila shook her head.

 

“No. I would have been angry if you just passed by. You did well.”

 

Mother’s matter is important too.

 

But the ones who need to be rescued are children.

 

Leila learned from Duke Termion.

 

To fulfill the duties of a noble.

 

To help those in difficulty and not take lightly the obligations of the status she enjoys as a noble.

 

“Even if I had gone with you, I couldn’t have passed by. So don’t be sorry.”

 

-Thank you, Leila.

 

Delward, who received the same education, also nodded beside her.

 

“You did well, Dane. Being a little late doesn’t matter.”

 

-I plan to rescue them as quickly as possible, so please prepare.

 

“Good. If you designate a point, we’ll move there.”

 

-Yes, I’ll contact you again soon.

 

And after the communication ended, Delward clicked his tongue.

 

“He’s an amazing fellow, isn’t he? In that short time, he judged all that, made decisions, and then moved?”

 

“Now you understand why we don’t worry?”

 

Delward’s head nodded involuntarily.

 

Being able to judge and move like that isn’t simple recklessness. It means he has that level of skill and confidence.

 

“A place crawling with heretics.”

 

“Brother was right. The aftermath of war must still be severe.”

 

“It is. People living in the capital see everything from within the capital.”

 

After speaking with a bitter expression for a moment, Delward suddenly stood up.

 

“Let’s move. We need to prepare. So when Dane rescues the children, we can move without a hitch.”

 

Delward was full of enthusiasm.

 

No, on one hand, it seemed like he showed a bit of competitive spirit.

 

Delward was unconsciously thinking that he should lead this group.

 

But that wasn’t the case.

 

The true leader was someone else.

 

Of course, this competitive spirit wouldn’t be a problem.

 

Literally, it came from a pure heart.

 

‘He’s an amazing fellow.’

 

Delward suddenly thought.

 

Perhaps someday…

 

The southern Sogress County might become the empire’s greatest family.

 

‘That can’t happen.’

 

Delward burned with determination.

 

* * *

 

Priscilla was in charge of luring and threatening.

 

With word choices that were hard to see as befitting the Theology Department and appropriate physical force.

 

I didn’t want to describe that process.

 

Even I thought it was brutal.

 

“Hey you bastard, won’t you open your mouth?”

 

“Just kill me instead!”

 

But it’s not easy.

 

As expected, brainwashing is brainwashing, I guess.

 

“Damn it, I should have taken the heretical interrogation course…”

 

I stopped Priscilla from continuing her brutal words.

 

“Wait. Let me try.”

 

“Doesn’t look like it’ll be easy?”

 

“Well, we’ll have to try to find out.”

 

I dusted off my hands.

 

I happen to be experienced in this.

 

I’ve been tortured, and I’ve done torturing.

 

I’ve never broken, but I’ve made others break.

 

Therefore-

 

“Mmph, mmmph!”

 

“Block it well. Don’t let it leak out.”

 

I recalled memories from my previous life and ‘lightly’ began the work.

 

And 10 minutes later.

 

Thud, thud.

 

As soon as we removed their gags, the two guys collapsed and fainted, their tension completely released.

 

“…I think I just witnessed something amazing.”

 

“It’d be better if you pretended not to see it.”

 

“Dane, you really know all sorts of things.”

 

I shrugged my shoulders.

 

Just like with Priscilla, there’s no need to describe the process.

 

I did it out of necessity.

 

“You’re really good at everything.”

 

“This isn’t something I want to be praised for.”

 

Though we did obtain information thanks to it.

 

“These guys, well, we can just leave them here now.”

 

Anyway-

 

“What we found out is that children are trapped in a warehouse, and there are several more of the children’s parents.”

 

We organized the facts we had discovered.

 

The children are currently trapped in a huge warehouse. It was originally used for storing supplies, but the Trillion Church is now using it as a detention facility for children and several people.

 

As for the imprisoned adults, most of them were people who had resisted the Trillion Church to protect the children.

 

And there are also…

 

“You said Viscount Eliva’s family is also trapped there.”

 

“Yeah. So we’ll have to rescue them together while we’re at it.”

 

Even the family members who originally ruled this marquessate are there.

 

“The problem is how to get into the warehouse and how to get the people out of that warehouse.”

 

Priscilla’s concern seemed deep.

 

Actually, that warehouse isn’t very far from the marquessate entrance, but-

 

The problem is that there are at least over 100 people who need to be rescued.

 

“It seems like we’ve taken on too big a task… but we still have to do it.”

 

Priscilla was much more serious than I was.

 

Since she fundamentally has a warm heart, she would be even more so.

 

“Isn’t there a way, Dane? If it’s you, it seems like you might have some… solution.”

 

At those words, I burst into laughter.

 

“Do I look like it?”

 

“Yeah. Your expression right now is full of confidence. You’ve always been like that.”

 

At those words, I grinned.

 

Sharp instincts.

 

I had already been formulating several plans and running through scenarios in my head.

 

For instance-

 

“Use a few summoned beasts to draw their attention.”

 

“That’s exactly it!”

 

There are only two of us.

 

Even if we join forces with the resistance, we can’t protect and escort over 100 people.

 

But what if we make it so there’s no need for protection?

 

Without needing to do that, if all the troops are drawn to the summoned beasts and the place becomes completely empty, there would be no problem at all.

 

“Or we could use magic to make a big blast and gather all the people. Though it’s a bit dangerous. There could be civilian casualties.”

 

“That would be the case. Then summoned beasts?”

 

“Yeah. About three Eteraks should be enough, right?”

 

And one more thing.

 

“Screech!”

 

With Karnas’s powerful flames, burning down a few empty buildings would be easy.

 

“The more we can disperse their attention, the better.”

 

Now then.

 

Shall we scout out places to cause chaos with summoned beasts and buildings worth burning?

 

“Oh, Dane. Then I’ll contact the resistance in advance and give them a signal. After that, I’ll go to the warehouse ahead of time while their attention is focused elsewhere.”

 

At Priscilla’s confident expression, I nodded without hesitation.

 

Because I had seen it earlier.

 

The sight of her slamming the guys who were tailing us into the ground, kicking them, and subduing them in an instant.

 

“Go easy on them.”

 

Priscilla answered coolly.

 

“We’ll see.”

 

I can only offer condolences to the guys who will be guarding the warehouse.

 

I suddenly became curious.

 

What if Priscilla had chosen to major in holy knight studies?

 

And this thought also occurred to me.

 

If only she agreed to be trained…

 

Wouldn’t she become incredibly strong?

 

* * *

 

The Trillion Church’s purpose is to offer as many young children as possible as tribute to summon the demon god and bring about a new world.

 

To them, the demon god is not a bad and evil god as the world perceives.

 

He is a savior.

 

This was a fact that had been gradually instilled even before they were brainwashed by the Trillion Church’s doctrine, and now those deeply immersed in the Trillion Church believed that the demon god would save them and lead them to a new world.

 

“More young blood!”

 

“Sacred blood is the fastest path to face the demon god!”

 

They had gathered together and were chanting slogans.

 

And watching them with a sinister smile was one man.

 

‘Yes, this marquessate is almost finished now.’

 

It had been work spanning a very long time.

 

The Trillion Church had almost completely perished due to the Empire’s ‘persecution’ in the past, and only a very few remained to plan for the future.

 

The man, called ‘York’ in the Trillion Church, was one of them.

 

He had infiltrated this marquessate 5 years ago solely for the demon god’s revival and the church’s restoration, these two things only.

 

First the poor, then the farmers who barely scraped by day to day, then the merchants.

 

As a result of steadily working his way up-

 

Just yesterday.

 

He was able to capture even Viscount Eliva’s family.

 

For now, they have their uses so he’ll leave them be, but someday he’ll execute them to drive the remaining ones to despair.

 

Since he hasn’t ‘perfectly’ seized control of the marquessate yet.

 

He killed almost all the existing Holy Church priests, but a few remain and are resisting.

 

If he just eliminates them…

 

‘The marquessate will be ours.’

 

This place will become the Trillion Church’s new stronghold.

 

Starting from near the border, slowly extending from places beyond sight, seizing control of the entire Empire within decades…

 

And once again summoning the demon god to descend.

 

‘Please watch over us, Sect Leader.’

 

He prayed inwardly again and again.

 

It was a wish filled with earnestness.

 

Since childhood, unknowingly devoting himself to the Trillian Sect and living solely for its doctrine for 30 years.

 

Spreading the Trillian Sect throughout the world was the religious order’s dream, but it was also York’s dream.

 

It was then.

 

Thud, thoom!

 

Had such earnestness suddenly reached the heavens?

 

The ground began to rumble with intense vibrations.

 

“Wh-what is it?”

 

York rushed outside frantically.

 

York’s heart was pounding.

 

Could it be that the demon god was bestowing a revelation?

 

“Kraaaaaaak!”

 

Such thoughts vanished in an instant.

 

A massive body too large to take in at a single glance.

 

“A s-summoned beast?”

 

An Eterak, one of the most ferocious among summoned beasts, had appeared.

 

And not just one-

 

Three of them.

 

“Wh-what the hell is this all of a sudden?”

 

Three of those giant summoned beasts had suddenly appeared in the marquessate they had seized control of.

 

“Kraaaaaaak!”

 

“R-run!”

 

“Aaaaaaaah!”

 

The religious order members were helplessly swept away by the Eteraks that began spewing acidic liquid and destroying their surroundings.

 

York was so shocked for a moment that he lost his words and could only stare blankly at the scene…

 

“Fire! Fire! There’s a fire!”

 

“Fire!”

 

Now they were saying there was a fire.

 

York’s gaze turned.

 

Smoke was indeed rising.

 

And it was tremendously thick smoke.

 

“This is insane…”

 

York began running frantically.
