Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 317

204. More Than Enough

It can summon dragons.

At this unexpected information, I briefly looked at Karnas.

“You can summon dragons? To this world?”

“Ki…reuk?”

The Mini Golem looked toward Karnas and answered.

[That’s correct. This ‘mini dragon’s’ potential appears to exceed that of ordinary dragons. How long has this dragon been awake?]

“Less than a year.”

[Considering the average growth rate of dragons according to age, this individual is confirmed to be a mutant. And among the various mutations of dragon individuals, such small specimens are often born with the fate of dragons.]

Today I had simply planned to learn about Arcana’s civilization through this Mini Golem if the opportunity arose.

But it seems I’ve learned something rather tremendous beyond that.

“An individual born with fate.”

“Kireuk…”

Karnas suddenly became serious as well.

Fellow seems completely oblivious.

Actually, that’s true.

Born surrounded only by humans rather than its own kind, how could it understand words that feel not just grandiose but even fatalistic.

“What’s the source of that statement? Dekanius?”

[That’s correct. Lord Dekanius had great interest in dragons and personally possessed many records. Of course, he never actually saw a dragon individual himself, but he still possessed a considerable amount of information. Information about mutant dragons and stories about ‘dragon’s fate’ are well documented in his writings.]

Dragon’s fate.

“So is it a duty that must be fulfilled?”

[It would be a fate that applies when there’s a need to summon dragons back from beyond the horizon.]

What reason could there be to summon those powerful entities back to this world.

A great war?

Or something beyond that?

I don’t know.

It’s something that hasn’t happened, and I don’t know what it would be.

More than anything, I probably wouldn’t understand it, or rather wouldn’t want to understand it.

Fate and such things, aren’t they all just forcing choices on individual lives.

“Karnas, what do you think?”

“Ki… reuk…”

Fellow shook its head as if it didn’t really know either.

“Let’s leave that to Karnas’s choice when the time comes.”

I shrugged and gently scratched the top of its head with my fingertip.

Then Karnas made a purring sound as if pleased and rubbed its face against my hand.

Cute fellow.

Personally, I’d like us to live together for thousands of years, growing old together.

But even that I can’t force.

After all, the world is a series of choices, and I think one’s own contemplation is more important than others’ thoughts in those choices.

That’s exactly the kind of life I wanted in my previous life.

Not a situation where I had to move according to orders or others’ gazes and then die.

[Dragon’s fate cannot be defied. It’s like a massive wave.]

“Waves can just be surfed against.”

I simply dismissed the Mini Golem’s words.

I’ll keep it in mind for now though.

[…You’re a curious person. Has the king perhaps disappeared from this world?]

“There is an Emperor who’s more than what people usually think of.”

An impressive Emperor in many ways.

“Why do you ask that?”

[Well… your way of thinking resembles that of Arcana’s ‘free people’.]

“Arcana’s free people?”

[They were those who denied the existence of kings and sought to change the system. In the end, all their heads were hung on the castle walls, but they rejected fatalism and advocated revolution. A world where everyone is equal, not one determined by bloodline, power, or magical talent.]

I pondered those words for a moment before speaking.

“Remarkable people.”

[You think so too.]

“But at the same time, it’s hard to sympathize. You can dream of equality, but everyone being equal is a difficult thing.”

Well, I just think ‘individuals’ are important.

That ‘individual’ includes the people around me, including myself.

I’m not very interested in any national loyalty or great cause. Only I, and my family members and friends are important.

That’s all.

That’s what I, having experienced much in my previous life, want.

“Rather than that, tell me about Arcana. I’m curious about many things.”

[Please ask anything. However, don’t forget that information searching consumes energy, so appropriate charging is necessary.]

Charging.

There are various methods.

Of course, there’s someone else who knows the best method.

“…What exactly do you learn and find every time you go on an expedition, our youngest?”

Big Sister’s reaction was exactly as I expected.

I told her about three things.

First, our expedition story.

And the Golem’s Core.

Plus the Mini Golem’s existence.

The demon story was too headache-inducing to add here, so I postponed it for later.

“Mini Golem… so cute…”

And Little Sister’s reaction, whom I met together, was unexpected.

“Little Sister, did you like this kind of thing?”

[This kind of thing? Please be careful with your words, Dane Sogress.]

The Mini Golem bristled at my designation.

Regardless, Little Sister carefully lifted the Mini Golem by slipping her hands between its arms as if picking up a puppy.

“Isn’t it so cute…? This tiny little stone has arms and legs…”

Big Sister fiddled with the small stones attached to the stone, that is, what the Mini Golem claimed were its limbs.

[Please put me down. Your touch is unpleasant.]

“Is it a summoned creature by any chance? Can I take it and raise it?”

Whether it liked it or not, Little Sister was making a fuss.

I called her thinking she might know something about summoned creatures from beyond the horizon, but maybe I should have called her later.

“Claire, please. It’s not even a child. How fascinating can it be.”

“Then how fascinating is it for Sister to have laid out all those analysis tools?”

“This is purely for examination…”

When I saw signs of an argument brewing between the two, I slipped in.

“Big Sister, let’s start with a simple examination first.”

“Anyway, dealing with Claire gives me a headache.”

“Sister is the one who…”

[Sibling rivalry seems to transcend eras.]

What is this Mini Golem saying.

“So, Dane, you’re saying you need a mana stone to attach to this Mini Golem? A ‘rechargeable’ one at that?”

“Yeah. Something like that.”

“There are two problems for now. First, I don’t know how this Mini Golem operates.”

“And?”

“Second, by my standards, realizing the structure of a rechargeable mana stone is impossible.”

The one who answered that was the Mini Golem.

[Both are very simple problems.]

“Simple?”

[Yes. My knowledge, or more precisely, the knowledge that Lord Dekanius embedded in my mana programming, makes it possible.]

I can already feel Big Sister’s heart racing.

She’s someone who would do anything for new technology, discoveries, and inventions.

What if it’s technology that was lost in the past but is far more advanced?

[First, my operating method follows a mana algorithm that Lord Dekanius designed independently.]

“Algorithm?”

[It might be an unfamiliar term here. For convenience, you can think of it as meaning ‘procedural steps’.]

The Mini Golem’s explanation that followed was like this:

[According to such algorithms, I repeatedly think and derive conclusions for problem-solving. I can be said to be an existence created through such processes.]

A created existence.

I just let it pass, but Big Sister seemed quite shocked.

“Such advanced thinking is possible… even though you’re not a living being.”

[I was Lord Dekanius’s masterpiece, after all.]

Anyway, it seems certain that gentleman was a remarkable mage.

Professor Cross would be shocked if I showed him this.

Of course, magic has different fields, and just because those fields are different doesn’t mean Professor Cross isn’t great.

Above all, isn’t this the Ancient Magic Kingdom Arcana?

A kingdom that possessed magic and technology more advanced than now, but disappeared in an instant.

[Since understanding my operating method would take considerable time, it seems priority should be given to first applying a method that allows my energy to be recharged at all times.]

The Mini Golem presented several proposals.

[From what I’ve heard, there are already quite efficient mana stones. The first method to be discussed should be periodically replacing these.]

But the first method was quickly rejected.

[However, considering my energy consumption and the efficiency of mana stones, I judge that even the most efficient mana stones would require replacement five times a day.]

Then the replacement method is rejected.

Making and possessing mana stones isn’t difficult, but it’s very troublesome.

Another method, the concept of ‘carrying’ a rechargeable location, was also explained but similarly rejected.

Because it becomes even more complicated.

[Even with a rechargeable mana stone attached, the problem returns to square one. It’s a matter of where to supply that mana from.]

The moment I heard those words, I tilted my head.

“Isn’t it a simple problem?”

With everyone’s attention focused on me, what I said was this:

“I can just charge it myself.”

“You, Dane?”

Big Sister immediately understood the meaning of my words.

“Right. Dane’s mana capacity has been enormous since he was young.”

“With Dane’s mana capacity, it might be a feasible method.”

Little Sister was the same.

Only the Mini Golem didn’t understand.

[Are you saying that you, Dane, would directly supply the mana for attaching a rechargeable mana stone to me?]

“Something like that.”

[That doesn’t make sense. The mana possessed by humans generally, or even in special cases, cannot handle the amount of mana I require.]

The two sisters laughed at those words.

I also chuckled a little.

[Surely… you don’t mean becoming a ‘biological mana stone’ that doesn’t move at all and does nothing?]

At the Mini Golem’s cautious question, I extended my hand.

“Do you happen to have a magic power measurement function too?”

[Of course.]

The Mini Golem toddled over and placed its tiny, blunt hand on top of mine.

“So cute…”

After Little Sister’s murmur, not long after, an incredulous voice flowed out.

[This is… impossible…]

Naturally, it was the Mini Golem’s voice.

[H-how can this level of mana quantity…?]

To think it would stammer from being flustered.

That mage Dekanius really created something amazing.

[How… can one person possess this amount of mana?]

Well, it’s thanks to the Ancient Magic Power concentrate.

[The mana contained in one circle is this much… it’s impossible. Even Lord Dekanius wouldn’t have believed this if he saw it.]

Wondering if it was really that amazing, I shrugged my shoulders while looking at the two sisters.

“It seems more amazing than we thought?”

“Right. But we’ve seen it since we were young, so. We’re not particularly moved.”

I watched the two sisters agreeing for the first time with satisfaction, while asking the Mini Golem.

“With this much, constant mana supply is possible, right?”

The Mini Golem’s answer was simple.

[More than enough. Dane Sogress.]
