I was reincarnated as a famous genius with the greatest talent ever. Episode 261
169. Jungle Shaman (2)
Their eyes are full of despair.
It’s worth it.
Because they were attacked by a power they believed to be ‘witchcraft’.
Based on my guesses, their world is probably limited to the inside of this jungle and, at most, a village.
In that sense, my ‘magic’ is probably at an unheard of level for these guys.
or… … .
Familiar.
“You’re a wizard.”
Altur added confidence from the side.
Although not as good as me, Altur is also a high-level wizard.
It seemed like he immediately sensed the magical power flowing through the bodies of these two ‘apostles’.
“But I feel the same way as you, Dane. What happened? Sure, it’s similar, but it’s definitely different. “It can never be compared.”
It’s just as Altur said.
The magical energy that flows through their bodies is similar to mine.
In other words, what is in that jungle is a concentration of ancient magic power.
And the sum of that is currently held by a being called ‘mother’.
Of course, I couldn’t move by guessing alone, so I used gravity magic first.
“Ugh, huh. “Huh.”
“Whoop, whoop.”
As soon as they were released from the pressure, the guys were beside themselves.
In that gap, Ernest quickly captures both hands and feet with a rope.
“good job.”
With this, the interrogation environment was completed.
After checking the magic field I had set up in advance, I opened my mouth to them.
“Now let me ask you a few questions. If you don’t answer the truth, you will be fine.”
“… … .”
After all, how common is it for a guy with no loyalty to answer right from the start?
So I prepared.
A method that can only be used against these guys.
“This is what will happen if you don’t answer or tell lies.”
I placed my hand near the heart of the male apostle.
“Well, what are you trying to do…” … “Huh!”
Then, the circle formed inside its heart, a circle filled with ancient magical energy, responded to my magical power.
Simply put, I can take this power away.
I don’t know if it’s any other general magical power.
The circle formed by the concentration of ancient magical power is already resonating on my side.
To absorb them.
“how is it? “Are you feeling a little scared?”
What is the most important thing for a wizard?
It is definitely magical power.
To be exact, the source magic gathered in the circle.
The moment it is destroyed, the wizard’s life ends.
Well, since it is located in the heart anyway, destroying the circle is the same as destroying the heart –
If the circle can be removed in this way, it would be an absurd situation where the circle disappears even though the person is alive and well.
“S-Stop it!”
Because of this, the expected screams erupted.
I rolled up the corners of my mouth and took my hand away.
“Do you feel like answering now?”
“Okay, I will answer. “I answer!”
“good.”
Altur asked from the side.
“What did you do?”
“I threatened you with a circle.”
“… … “Such a cruel bastard.”
“Did you imagine it?”
“It’s something I don’t even want to imagine.”
Altur trembled.
I chuckled at that and focused on the two again.
“Now, let me ask you a question.”
There are three things I’m curious about.
first.
“What exactly is your ‘mother’?”
second.
“Where is ‘Mother’?”
They both answered faithfully.
It is said that the mother is a powerful being who uses ‘magic’ and lives in a ‘tree castle’ deep inside the jungle.

There were other miscellaneous stories, but aside from that.
The key is this, the third question.
“You and all those who call themselves ‘mother’… … You’re from the village, right? “All children offered as ‘sacrifices.’”
“… … !”
There was no answer.
But it was a reaction that was almost like an answer.
“oh my god… … .”
Letake, who had been examining his son next to him, collapsed and sat down.
“Well, then everyone… … The children who were sacrificed are now living there, calling the shaman ‘mother’… … ?”
That’s the way it is.
Since it was said to be a ‘sacrifice’, I thought he had sacrificed his life somewhere, but when I combine the facts I have found out so far, I come up with that hypothesis.
First of all, it is a tattoo in a similar location on the body as Le Take.
It’s blurry, perhaps because it was forcibly erased, but it’s still recognizable.
And the unique way of speaking and using words among the people of this jungle village.
Linguistic habits are not something that easily disappears.
Like I still remember the Draenik language, and I can hear just the slightest hint of its accent.
“It’s just a guess.”
The villagers always regarded the apostles sent by the ‘shaman’ as objects of fear, so they probably didn’t even have time to look into this.
“How many scoops are there… … .”
Griffin seemed so excited that he didn’t know what to do.
“A jungle untouched by the empire, a village that rejects strangers, a shaman in the jungle, and the truth about the shaman… … “If this is the case, it’s free reporting from now on!”
I guess we just need to remove the ones related to ancient magic from there.
However, there are still unanswered questions.
“Then what does that ‘mother’ plan to do with that power?”
“Mother… … You are looking for a ‘suitable person’. “He is the right person to fully accept that power and bring the ‘kingdom’ to this place.”
The dream is too dreamy.
Even though I have three, I can’t think of building a country.
Well, it’s not difficult to rule as a king in a place like this.
What is important is that the reason for gathering the children has been revealed.
A concentration of ancient magical power.
Finding a child who can accept that power.
“But so far, there has not been a single child who was a ‘suitable candidate.’ Even her mother could not fully accept that power, and she was merely borrowing it… … .”
Anyway, I figured it out.
“What now?”
Ernest’s question.
I finished thinking and opened my mouth.
“Let’s go see the witch doctor.”
First, we sent away Letake and the two children who were almost sacrificed.
Of course, I don’t go to the village, but join Leila, who is waiting on the other side.
I added Ernest as my companion. Since you can’t take him all the way inside, this is the best option.
“Thank you thank you. benefactor… … “Can I call you that?”
“Let’s come back later and think about the title slowly.”
Letake expressed his gratitude repeatedly and left with Ernest holding the children.
Now, Altur, me, and Griffin walked towards the jungle on the other side.
Together with the two ‘apostles’ whose hands were tied and whose magical power was limited.
“… … .”
“… … .”
I don’t know if they were desperate or thinking of something else, but they didn’t say anything.
But whatever.
If you do just a little trick, you can suppress it right away.
They only opened their mouths after walking for a while.
“We’re almost there.”
Then, a magic field of a different concentration than before began to come into view.
Indeed, it was said to be ‘mother’s’ territory and it seemed to be clearly protected.
“It’s a high-level magic field.”
Altur stuck out his tongue.
It’s as they say.
However, it seemed that the power of the ancient magic concentration could not be fully used.
I guess I wasn’t able to absorb it.
Good.
In the midst of this, one of the apostles opened his mouth.
“… … “If you go past this place, you will see the ‘wooden castle’ where my mother is.”
“Then take the lead.”
“Previously… … “There is one thing I would like to request.”
I tilted my head.
“You are not in a position to say such things right now.”
“Wow, we answered all the questions and even guided you to your ‘mother’!”
“okay. But we’ll have to see until the end whether it will benefit us.”
“… … .”
In this situation, there is no need to listen to the other person’s request.
It’s enough after everything is over.
Until then, I plan to put as much pressure on them as possible.
I’m not sure what they’re ‘requesting’ for.
I ignored them and stood in front of the magic field.
We could just disperse and dismantle the magical energy array, but if we had arrived at this point anyway, that ‘mother’ would have sensed our intrusion.
So I prepared.
“Karnas.”
“Kikreuk!”
A flame that melts, burns, and pierces anything.
Grumble!
The flames that spewed out from Karnas’ mouth covered the magic curtain and instantly melted it, creating a hole large enough for two people to pass through.
“let’s go.”
I passed through the hole, leaving behind the blank-faced companions.
At the same time-
“You’re coming.”
Just then, a huge fireball flew towards us.
This is perfect.
One spark is enough, right?
“Kiruuuuuu!”
Karnas once again spewed out flames, which covered the incoming fireball –
Just like it did before in the Khabarosk Mountains cave, it engulfed the fireball and turned into an even bigger fireball and flew to the other side.
Kwaaaaang!
And binge drinking.
The other side is quiet.
What happened?
As I raised my energy, I could see the flow of magical power.
I immediately realized that there was no need to raise my spirits any further.
In the fireball that Karnas had just made bigger, the ‘wooden castle’ of the ‘mother’ was burning brightly and lighting up the surroundings.
Then it appears.
“oh my god… … .”
A group of people standing around the wooden castle.
And, even the existence of ‘mother’ who stands at the center of it all.
“iced coffee.”
What I had only guessed became certain, and I confirmed that confidence with my own eyes.
They are all wizards.
Suddenly, the flow of magic that was felt in the two children who almost became sacrifices came to mind.
The person called ‘Mother’ eventually brought children from the village who had the potential to become wizards.
To become a wizard and find the ‘suitable person’ in the process.
“You… … “What!”
A cry full of embarrassment is heard.
It must have been my mother’s.
Judging by his rough and hoarse voice, he appears not only to be flustered but also not in very good health.
“Do not disturb our peace…” … “Go away!”
“Go!”
“Send our child back!”
“Send it back!”
It was truly bizarre to see them singing along to their mother’s words.
Brainwashing? Or, is it the affection of the ‘mother’ who really raised me?
I’m not sure about that.
It’s not a particularly important fact.
“I sent the children back.”
I said and added:
“Looking for the right person?”
A startled voice.
“How could a stranger do that…?” … .”
‘Mother’s’ gaze turns to the two apostles I have captured.
The two apostles, whose hands were tied, bowed their heads and trembled under his gaze.
It’s an obvious fear.
“You have betrayed me… … .”
“Oh, mother, that’s not it!”
“How could you betray me, who gave you strength…?” … .”
Before going to the new wave, I chuckled and said something.
“Let’s talk straight away. “You gave me a temporary loan so that I could use my power, which I couldn’t use properly, only in this jungle, right?”
“… … !”
‘Mother’s’ eyes open wide.
That expression that asks how did you know.
“So, you’re looking for the right person. “I need someone who can fully use that power.”
“How did you… … .”
At this point, a question arises.
Is creating a ‘kingdom’ really the goal?
If I try to create a kingdom or something in that state, I might soon die of old age or illness.
Then what is it?
Whatever the reason, it will be enough to find out.
“Speak! “What are you!”
I answered the difficult cry.
“I am the ‘suitable person’ you were looking for.”
