Chapter 161
But instead of getting upset, Adolf smiled broadly.
“Hahaha…”
Fernan couldn’t tell what Adolf was thinking, he could only detect a faint trace of anger at the corner of his eyes.
A heavy silence filled the air.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“…”
“I understand. adopt I heard what happened during the meeting of the prince-electors.”
“Sorry if I put you in an awkward position. aluminum I recently bought a music box, but it had a problem and I couldn’t use it properly.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“I knew I couldn’t deceive a Pellenberg. alert Thank you for understanding.”
Adolf looked forward again, and the conversation ended there. alert Silence returned.
Fernan smiled slightly.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
There were hardly any trees. ability The place was arid, rocky, and majestic. anchor If someone planned to develop it, it was understandable that the elves wouldn’t oppose too much.

“We’ve arrived.”
After two days of travel, they reached a rocky mountain range full of steep formations.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
After surveying the surroundings, Adolf gave the order, and the team set up a base at the entrance of the range.
Two days passed since the expedition began, with no sign of mineral veins.
Thus began the exploration.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
And that was precisely why Fernan had chosen this mission among many options—it allowed him to stay longer while he investigated.
That was normal. apron Finding a vein wasn’t something that happened in a day or two.
“I brought him.”
Early in the morning, as Fernan was washing his face, Aria appeared accompanied by a knight.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
He was a member of the Order of the Guardian Tree.
“Fernan.”
“It’s a pleasure. alpha I’m Jeffrey, knight of the order.”
Jeffrey was the one who wrote the letter Aria had shown Fernan before.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“And what did she say?”
“Aria has told me a lot about you.”
“…That you’re a good person.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“I only said good things. apple I swear. voyage But this isn’t a conversation to have standing up. wizard Let’s go inside.”
Aria led them both into the tent. silence Hyde served tea, and Fernan handed Jeffrey the letter.
A brief pause. sphere Fernan could imagine the insults she had probably really said.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“Did you write this one?”
“And this one?”
“Yes, that’s my handwriting. meadow I wrote it.”
It was a simple letter, with mundane, everyday content.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“What is this?”
Jeffrey’s face tensed as he read it.
This time he showed him the letter that said Adolf collaborated with the corrupt.
“Aria.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
At Aria’s order, Jeffrey nodded reluctantly.
“Jeffrey, just answer what Fernan asks. riddle Nothing more.”
“But, miss…”
“Quickly.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“And this one?”
“Yes, I wrote it.”
He handed him a third letter, where everything was denied as a misunderstanding.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“Wow, you wrote three completely contradictory letters in just one day.”
“That remains to be seen. orbit We can’t be sure it was just a mistake.”
“It was a misunderstanding.”
“…That one’s mine too.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Jeffrey stood up, indignant.
“Sit down, Jeffrey.” All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
“Miss!”
“Are you saying the subcommander is a corrupt?”

“…”
“I told you to calm down. alert Cooperate with Fernan. auction It’s a direct order from my father.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Jeffrey pressed his lips together and sat back down.
“I didn’t write these letters. adopt You did. amber And I wish everything you wrote was true.”
Fernan lightly tapped the letters with his fingers.
“Are you implying I lied?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Jeffrey frowned.
“No. riddle It’s very likely you told the truth.”
“But we don’t know if that ‘truth’ is actually true.”
“Then…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“So the mineral vein was just an excuse from the beginning.”
“I want you to tell me exactly what happened the day you wrote that letter.”
“What do you want from me?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“Understood. ability That day…”
If there were no veins, they’d compensate him with something of equal value. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
That was the deal Aria and Fridian had offered Fernan.
“The expedition is real. antenna If we find something, we get the exploitation rights.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
The marquis quickly dispatched part of the Order of the Guardian Tree, including Jeffrey.
They had received a report about a group of monsters appearing in the south of Fridian.
***
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“They’re ogres!”
In the area, they encountered a group of ogres, known as the kings of the mountain.
“Five of them together?!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
It was rare for them to move in a group, but in the middle of battle, there was no time to think about it.
Kieeeek!
Under Adolf’s command, they began eliminating the ogres.
The problem came afterward.
“Split up and take them down one by one!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“What is that?”
A wave of flying insects descended on them like a black tide.
“They’re monsters!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“Don’t panic!”
On their own, Crichter weren’t too dangerous. anxiety But being attacked from the rear while fighting ogres was devastating.
“Orgae Barka?! admire They said it was just normal monsters!”
And that wasn’t all.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
The Crichter were just the beginning.
“Regroup!”
“Hold formation!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“Khff…!”
Not even Fridian’s best order of knights could handle such a massive ambush from both flanks.
More monsters began swarming them from all sides.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
He fell down the slope, rolling several meters.
He broke his arm and several ribs. agent The pain was unbearable.
He managed to climb a Barka’s back and slash its neck,
but he lost too much blood, and before he could recover, Crichter ambushed him from behind.
“Ah… help…”
Jeffrey was unlucky.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Battle cries could still be heard above.
His consciousness began to fade…
His voice was too weak to stand out amidst the chaos.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“S-Subcommander…”
“Sorry I didn’t get here sooner. meadow The situation was complicated.”
“Are you okay?”
Then, a shadow covered him.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“Glad you’re still alive.”
“This is just emergency treatment. altitude We need to get you to the city as soon as possible.”
“No… it’s not your fault…”
Adolf Fridian applied a potion to his wounds.
Half he poured on the injuries, the other half he made him drink.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
The knights loaded Jeffrey onto a horse.

“Yes. zenith Were you expecting more?”
“That’s all?”
“Didn’t you mention earlier that Subcommander Adolf made some aggressive remarks?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“It was just a passing comment. ability He only said he wasn’t satisfied with the current situation. harbor And well, that’s understandable, isn’t it? orbit Even though we’re one of the prince-electors, everyone knows how Fridian is treated.”
“But there’s something I find strange.”
“Of course, I know that.”
Fernan slowly placed something on the table.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“Yes, that’s my handwriting.”
“What is it?”
“Then why does the content not match what you’re telling me now?”
“You said you wrote this letter, right?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“It literally says here, ‘If you want to live, answer me honestly. audit Do you really believe Fridian is on the right path?’”
“What do you mean?”
“It says that…?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“There’s no need to reread it.”
“Place your aura here and tell it again.”
“Ugh, I hate those things…”
Fernan pulled out a crystal orb.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
And a few seconds later, the orb emitted a faint gray glow. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
It was a demonic energy detection artifact made by the Church.
“W-wait, it must be a mistake…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“How did this thing work again?”
“Being a victim is also experience!”
“Leave it to me! timber This kind of thing is for experienced people.”
“Weren’t you the one who was a victim?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Aria poured holy water into a container.
“Miss? accent What are you doing?”
“W-what are you talking abou—grrgggh…!”
“No matter how painful it is, endure it, Jeffrey.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“This is injustice… blghgh…!”
“Don’t resist! apron If you do, I’ll tell my father you’re a corrupt!”
After about ten minutes of immersion in holy water, the artifact stopped showing the gray color.
“Now that I’m the one doing the purification, I’m starting to understand that damn Saint’s expression.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Just like with Aria and Verian, it didn’t seem like the memory had been completely erased, so he managed to recover part of it.
“Subcommander Adolf came to me while I was injured. abstract And…”
“…I remembered what happened!”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“I don’t remember clearly… just fragments…”
“…He threatened me while giving me the potion.”
“What exactly did he say?”
He frowned.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Jeffrey’s words came out as scattered fragments.
“Even so, say it, Jeffrey.”
“We have to fix the empire. wizard The elves must rise.”
“The empire is rotten. arch Elves aren’t treated as they deserve under human rule.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“Even if we must ally with the corrupt. arctic What do you think, Jeffrey?”
But that was enough.
That was the key part. adjust That he clearly remembered.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
After that, his memory faded.
“Then there’s no other choice…”
“And then I woke up in a bed. aspect Everything felt confusing…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“…I wish it weren’t true. academy What do we do now?”
“Get solid proof.”
“That’s enough. armor That’s all we need.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“For now, we continue the mission and buy time.”
Jeffrey’s testimony was a great lead, but it was still just that—words.

Without clear evidence, all they’d do is provoke the enemy.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
That was the last resort.
As long as they stayed together, he’d make a mistake eventually.
‘And if I can’t get proof, I’ll capture him and torture him.’
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
***
Fernan’s eyes turned cold.
Aside from that lead, the mining expedition continued, though without much progress.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
— Kyuu.
But Wooden wanted to try.
That wasn’t a problem, since Fridian had promised a reward even if they found nothing. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
That made him an excellent tracker.
After all, he had eaten roots of Itarium, a plant that feeds on minerals.
“All right. artist Do as you like.”
“You want to try? legend Well, it might work…”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Fernan headed to a remote part of the range with Hyde and Wooden. airport If he found anything, it would be better to keep it hidden for now.
“Obviously. artist Let’s go, Wooden. apple Give it a shot.”
“It’d be nice if you do find something.”
— Kyiii!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Normally, it’s not easy for roots to penetrate solid rock.
Crack, crack.
But Wooden’s roots weren’t normal.
Wooden planted himself in the middle of the mountain and extended his roots from all over his body.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Several hours passed.
They spread quickly and deep.
Born from Itarium, nourished by the World Tree and sacred metals, they began drilling through the mountain like butter.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“What is it?”
Wooden let out a sound—he had found something.
— Kyuuu!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Turns out Wooden wasn’t just good at detecting demonic energy, he was great at finding minerals too.
“Iron ore? afford And quite a lot?”
Fernan smiled in satisfaction.
— Kyu!
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“Would you like me to go with you?”
“Hyde, wait here. august I’ll go down to check.”
“You really found it?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
He kept going down.
Fernan placed his hand on the ground and activated his magic.
“I’m going to drill through the rock. adopt It’s easier alone than making room for two.”
Crack-crack-crack, a tunnel opened and led him downward.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
— Kyuuu!
“Why is this so deep? alpha Are you sure there’s something here?”
And down.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
At that depth, mining wasn’t profitable.
And even worse, it was in a rocky mountain.
Fernan kept descending, using a large amount of mana.
“You don’t want me to doubt you? harbor Feels like I’ve gone down hundreds of meters.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
He found an iron mine. acoustic Quite a big one.
Finally.
But his expression wasn’t exactly pleased.
“…Yep, here it is. crystal You were right.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
It wasn’t adamantite, orichalcum, or mithril.
“I’d better only come back for it if I really need it.”
It was too hard to extract to be worthwhile.
Even that wasn’t very efficient.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
That’s when—
One of the walls collapsed on its own.
Crack.

“…A dwarf?”
“…A human?”
Through the opening, a face appeared.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“Waaaah!”
With a scream, the hole shut immediately.
Their eyes met.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Footsteps could be heard hurrying away on the other side.
No, that wasn’t the most urgent question.
What was a dwarf doing there?
“…What the heck?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Fernan placed his hand on the freshly sealed wall.
“I don’t know why you’re here, or why we ended up meeting.”
Crkk.
Mana surged. absorb The wall split open, revealing a new path.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
He wasn’t going to ignore a dwarf he found by chance.
But he wasn’t going to waste that opportunity.

Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“Huff, huff…!”
***
The dwarf Ahgrot panted as he ran.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“What’s a human doing here?” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
As he ran, he sealed the tunnel he had dug.
It was a shame to seal a tunnel he had worked so hard on, but that didn’t matter now.
A skill not all dwarves possessed.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
Had the elves been defeated? anxiety No, impossible.
“This territory belongs to the elves! advance How could a human get this far?”
When he went out recently, everything was fine.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
He tripped on a stone and tumbled several times along the ground.
He had to report this to the mayor.
“Ack…!”
No, that wasn’t the important thing right now.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
He tried to get up, but stopped cold.
That was unacceptable for a dwarf.
“…Did I trip on a rock in a tunnel I dug myself?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
And for something like that to exist in his tunnel…
He slowly turned his head.
It wasn’t a rock—it was a lump he hadn’t left behind.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
A voice came from ahead, freezing his blood.
“…”
“Yes, that’s what makes no sense for a dwarf.”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
A man, standing as if he’d been there from the start, blocking his path.
And there he was.
He slowly, very slowly turned his head.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“Does that matter?”
How had he gotten there before him, through a tunnel he dug himself?
The man brushed the dust off his clothes and spoke.
“How…?”
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“What…?”
“What matters is that we’ve met here.”
The man extended his hand.
Translation of A Cadet Becomes a Prophet?! - Chapter 161 by Indra Translations.
“I guarantee you the best deal possible. wizard Would you like to work for my company?”
The dwarf’s eyes went blank with sheer confusion.
