A genius gamer is reincarnated into a famous hero episode 118

Spire of Radiance (1)

There were two major social mountains in the world.

The representative mountain ranges were the ‘Martial Arts World’, which refers to martial arts families including the three great swordsmanship families, and the ‘Magic World’, which includes the five great magic families and dozens of prestigious magic families.

The Dukes of Kaladan and the Dukes of Ainglass, who can be said to be the representatives of the two great mountain ranges, very rarely held official meetings, but if such an event occurred, they usually used the ‘Unification Conference Hall’ in the center of the continent.

So, you could say that something like today is a little unusual.

“Representative Taran Carl Aradella, and His Excellency Gaharam Paul Caladhan. “It is an honor to invite you to Masjid Rafiel.”

Celes Caerion, famous as one of the three lords of the Spire of Radiance, first invited the Duke of Kaladan to hold a formal ceremony.

Rafiel Masjid (Star Shrine).

This place, which means a tower where you can see the stars, was a very special place in the magic world, and it was a place where valuable meetings were held only when necessary, in consultation with the five great magic families, the Spire of Radiance, and Arniel.

Taran changed it diplomatically and expressed it in a classy way.

‘A villa that people only invite when they feel sad.’

Yes. Rafiel Masjid was a place that was only opened when outsiders were invited due to something lacking in the magic world.

Moreover, just looking at Taran’s appearance as a representative, not as the Duke of Kal-El but as the chancellor and diplomat of Kaladan, showed how advantageous his position was.

“It’s uncomfortable to be in a place like this… … “Please, Prime Minister, handle it as you see fit.”

Gaharam, the third son of Duke Kal-El and known as a Knight of the Nine Stars, was very uncomfortable in this diplomatic position. He had no choice but to come out as Duke Kal-El’s order required him to appoint a representative, but he had no intention of speaking.

“of course.”

Taran also had no intention of letting Gaharam speak.

As a pureblood Caladern and a 9-star Polden Knight, he will be able to fulfill his role just by holding this position.

“You might like this position.”

Taran smiled and answered the words given out of courtesy.

“I like it. It’s truly beyond my imagination that such a beautiful place exists. “I hope to visit often.”

This place was filled with natural magic, and the sunlight did not shine even during the day, so you could see the stars at any time. Taran grinned, showing his teeth as if he really liked this place.

Of course, no one took that literally. The wizards’ expressions scrunched up as if they were very uncomfortable with Taran’s words.

Isn’t that a shameless statement that Kaladun wants to continue meeting in an advantageous position?

Fortunately, Ambassador Aldus, who appeared as a diplomat, was a professional who was good at managing facial expressions, so he was able to smile back.

“It is my pleasure to invite you, the Dukes of Kaladan, to Masjid Rafiel. This is the first time that a knight family has been invited to Rafiel. You can also leisurely admire the stars. “It’s probably a sight you can’t easily see there.”

There may be many reasons for using the term knightly family while subtly leaving out the words ‘master swordsman’ or ‘famous hero’, but the tendency of the magic world not to want to label ‘famous’ for non-magical martial artists is largely due to this. I thought it might be something.

And Taran was not a person who fell for such nonsense.

“Well, do you need to relax? haha. I think I will come here often from now on. We found an unusual magic tower a while ago, and, well, wouldn’t that be a pile of very, very old grimoires? “We can’t be the only ones to see these precious things, so we want to come and share them with the ‘magic masters,’ so we hope that you will invite us often in the future.”

The other person tried to implicitly downgrade him by leaving out the word ‘famous family’, but Taran, on the other hand, deliberately added the word ‘famous family’ to elevate his opponent.

At first glance, it seemed like he had lost some respect, but in reality, it was quite the opposite.

The framework of Taran’s words was as follows.

‘We treat you like a famous family, but are you so narrow-minded that you can’t even do that? ‘Tsk, tsk.’

Naturally, Ambassador Aldus’ expression hardened slightly. Of course, it was hardly noticeable. Because he wasn’t a great person who would fail to manage his facial expressions to this extent.

“That’s interesting. What kind of magic tower did you discover… … .”

“I can’t tell you that far. “It’s located on Kaladan’s private property, so there will be security issues.”

“… … “I’m sorry.”

“What about the grimoire you received a while ago? “It must have been genuine.”

“Yes, it is definitely authentic.”

Just a month ago, Kaladun revealed several grimoires to the world. They are all lost secret treasures of magic masters, answer sheets containing answers to difficult problems that cannot be solved, or the second volume of Magic Masters, which has remained a mystery forever due to the disappearance of the middle volume… … .

No matter where they were sold, the only books they found were astronomical amounts of money, or books that were difficult to put a value on in terms of money.

Not just one or two volumes, but dozens of volumes were discovered simultaneously and released to the world, so it would not be a lie to say that a ‘special magic tower’ had been found.

The common question that wizards in the magic world have is ‘Where is the magic tower, and who built it?’ Unfortunately, unless Caladorn opens his mouth, they will never be able to find it.

In addition, one of the reasons why my heart tightens even more is that there is a possibility that Kaladan has not yet revealed all of the grimoires!

There were truly too many lost grimoires in the world, and I was hopeful that if there was a ‘special magic tower’ that collected as many lost grimoires as mine, they might be able to find some of the lost grimoires.

of course.

‘That sly snake would never give it up for free… … .’

What is the reason for creating this place today? This is because the original magic book written by Azier, known by the nickname ‘Wizard of Radiance’, was discovered.

The Wizard of Radiance is the founder of the Spire of Radiance and the author of fundamental magic that has taken root in the world of magic. He is also listed as one of the ’10 greatest wizards of all time.’

Would it be possible to leave such a wizard’s grimoire into the hands of a swordsman?

Even if it hurt the magic world’s pride, they had no choice but to get it back somehow.

Taran leaned on the back of his chair and drank tea leisurely. He had no intention of being the first to speak. He waits for the disappointed side to speak first. That was his way today.

“this… … .”

Even the amazing old men of the Magic Elders’ Council could only make dissatisfied expressions on their faces and couldn’t carelessly point out Taran’s attitude.

Taran felt like he wanted to throw the box and laugh cheerfully.

‘It’s very heartbreaking.’

How twisted was it when those arrogant wizards belittled the master swordsman and called him an ignorant swordsman?

As I watched him whine like a puppy that didn’t want to poop, unable to say anything, I felt like a hundred years of pain was going away.

‘Thanks to the youngest master, I am enjoying a very luxurious life!’

He smiled brightly, remembering the wonderful master.

Ambassador Aldus, who had been waiting for the silence, finally spoke first.

“I was looking forward to our meeting today, Taran Dangro.”

“Of course. “I am quite interested in the recent incidents and accidents occurring in the magic world.”

“… … “What if it’s an accident?”

“They say a devil appeared at the magic school Arniel.”

“… … .”

Aldus kept his mouth shut, but Taran continued speaking.

“It’s the first time in several years that demons have appeared outside of areas where ‘Demonization’ was completed. To make matters worse, demons have appeared in Arniel, which was founded to fight against demons… … “This is an issue that Kaladun cannot ignore.”

Countless families around the world battle with each other for pride and compete to see who is better, but they keep one thing clear.

‘The Duke of Kaladun is a family with a background as demon hunters.’

The legend of Kaladan, the warrior who was the first human being to discover how to fight against demons.

After overcoming the devil’s magic, he spread the word ‘demon resistance’ to humans and later became the person who sealed the devil king and ended the Great Demon World War.

Even though they compete with each other to become the best now, it cannot be denied that all of humanity in the past owed a great debt to the Kaladan family.

Therefore, even in modern times, if a problem related to demons arose, Duke Kaladan always had the authority to intervene.

“There is no reason for us to intervene in Arniel’s defense, but it would be better to ‘convert it into the sacred realm’ as soon as possible.”

Just as devils can be ‘demonized’, humans can also be ‘sacralized’. There was no need to borrow the power of God.

The warrior Kaladan did not have divine power, but he granted divine power to Terandal, creating a space that demons could never invade… … .

Of course, it’s not easy.

Only the weapon used by the hero who hunted countless demons has the divinity that can fight against demons.

For example, like the holy sword Terandal.

In modern times, it has become a very difficult task. This is because the devil has not come out of the demonized area even after hundreds of years have passed since the war was lost.

That also meant that there was actually no need to make a consecrated weapon. The demons are backed into a corner anyway, so why bother?

Arniel knew that too, so he didn’t bother to deify it.

The reason why Taran brought up the story of ‘sacralization’ even though he knew that.

It was simple.

“… … The Caladern Dukes do not need to worry about the consecration of Arniel. We also have ‘Mitiel’, the weapon of Natalen, the hero who has subdued countless demons.”

It was to make them mention Mitiel.

“Oh oh… … That’s right. Certainly, if it is Mitiel, it is definitely a weapon imbued with divinity. But it’s not yet owned by Arniel, is it?”

“… … .”

Because it was a sensitive question, Ambassador Aldous remained silent.

“I have heard rumors that Mitiel’s owner has appeared, but I also heard that it was held by a commoner and treated poorly… … .”

“That’s not true.”

The answer was given by someone else. He was Arniel’s head professor, Delicane.

Ambassador Aldus looked anxious as he saw someone speaking other than himself. Since there was never any nonsense in conversations between diplomats, he thought it was not a good idea to give a careless answer.

But the water has already been spilled.

“Mitiel is a great weapon that is considered sacred even in Arniel.”

“… … It’s not wrong. Arniel knows the greatness of Mitiel better than the Caladern Dukes.”

Another senior professor agreed and nodded.

“Soon, we will recruit Mitiel’s master from Arniel.”

“The boy is showing blind loyalty to Arniel, so Mitiel will soon be put to good use in the deification of Arniel.”

“Hehe, I understand. There was no intention to downgrade Mitiel’s great dignity. Please understand that Kaladun is just deeply concerned about demons.”

This is enough.

Since they acknowledged Mitiel’s greatness with their own words, Taran’s ‘prank’ went exactly as intended.

“… … great.”

Ambassador Aldus felt something uneasy, but since he could not find out anything yet and the conversation went smoothly, he suppressed his emotions and continued the conversation.

“Let’s get to the point.”

Aldous nodded and raised his glasses.

“The Old Grimoire of Radiance unearthed by Duke Caladun is a very meaningful item to us. “I’d like to talk about this.”

“Of course.”

Taran smiled. The previous conversation was just an appetizer, but now it was the real main dish.

“I tell you straight.”

Anyway, it’s Caladorn’s side that wins.

Taran said calmly.

“There are two requirements. The first is to allow Calladan’s formal participation in the ‘Culday Meeting’. Second, the ownership of the land in ‘Barony Person’ will be handed over.”

“… … !!”

Culday Conference.

It was a grand meeting of the magic world held once every three years in the winter, and was a top-level gathering where top magic powers from around the world, including the five major magic families, participated and discussed.

Even if you do not have the right to speak, this meeting is said to be a great family honor just by participating. As it is magic, you cannot attend unless you are a force that has influence on the world, and if you do not have any results, you cannot attend the next meeting.

In other words, it is impossible to attend every meeting unless you are a member of a magical family that consistently demonstrates magical performance.

‘I knew that Duke Caladon was entering the world of magic.’

The wizards’ expressions hardened.

In modern times, Caladern is renowned throughout the world as a family of knights, but its magical skills are also known to be quite impressive.

However, since he was originally from a knightly family, he couldn’t step into the magic world, but this was the equivalent of declaring that he would try his hand at it!

When Aldus winked, the wizards used magic to block some of the sound.

As it happened often, Taran left them alone to hold a meeting.

“Are you really going to keep going like this?”

“… … Can not help it. “No matter what the cost, you must receive the Spellbook of Radiance.”

“Is it really necessary to go that far?”

Would they want to suffer this much loss just because they were part of the magic world? However, the ‘Mage of Radiance’ was the only glory and sore finger lost in the magic world.

I could never leave a master swordsman in the arms of Caladern.

“… … okay. “We have to do it this way.”

Huh, Ambassador Aldus sighed and nodded, and the noise canceling magic was canceled.

“You can attend up to one Calday meeting. “If you don’t show sufficient performance and results, you won’t be able to attend the next meeting.”

“On the contrary, it means that if your performance is sufficient, you can go to the next meeting.”

“You seem confident.”

“As much as you want.”

Taran said with a smile and Ambassador Aldus nodded.

“The second condition is… … “Is this Baron Person?”

The Barony of Perlson was a land that did not belong to any country, and was not particularly valuable.

There are no mines, it is not a transportation hub, and it cannot be used as a strategically excellent fortress. It is just surplus land.

However, the moment it becomes the Duchy of Caladern, the story changes.

The distant duchy and the land of Pulson are connected, and Caladern can influence the countless cities in between, just like a game of Go!

In other words, it meant that by owning a piece of unremarkable land, Calathan’s influence increased enormously… … .

‘You damn old man. ‘You’re asking that much for just one book?’

In name, the Pearlson Territory itself was not a very great piece of land, so it was difficult to ask for other conditions.

However, since it was certain that he would suffer great losses both politically and commercially, he hinted that it would be better to refuse, but the wizards narrowed their eyes and nodded as if to give permission.

‘… … Damn it. It’s a business that only makes losses. What on earth is that magic book?’

Aldus bit his lip as if his pride had been hurt at the thought of being completely outdone by Taran, and had no choice but to agree to this ridiculous deal.

He knew it.

What kind of request will the wizards accept without a word?

What kind of demands should be made so that the wizards can gain the maximum benefit from their inability to judge properly?

What request should I make… … Can Kaladun’s status and influence be maximized with just one book?

It was all planned.

“It was a good meeting. I hope there will be frequent friendly exchanges here in the future. “I never knew looking at the stars could be so enjoyable.”

“… … .”

Taran’s sly words made Aldus and other wizards look dumbfounded.

Regardless, he stood up and calculated today’s profits in his head.

Does the youngest master know?

Thanks to rescuing a few old grimoires, Duke Kaladan was able to make an astronomical profit today that is difficult to calculate in terms of money.

‘I would like to tell you once more, Your Majesty, that it is necessary to give an additional reward to the youngest master.’

It would be okay to just give him Baron Person.

“Hehe, it’s a really good day.”

Seeing Taran still smiling even on the way back, Gaharam Paul Kaladan’s face became strange.

Has Deacon Taran ever made an expression like that recently?

Hello, Paul Calladun. Does that little child really have some strange, unknown power?

It was something unknown.
