Chapter 112

The postwar period progressed without setbacks.

Gareth, who had been sent to take possession of the territories occupied by Calix, returned shortly after with a bright expression.

Among them, there were more than a few who seemed even happier knowing they could now move to Asagrim.

Norvek was returned to the underground dungeon of the White Palace, and the soldiers accepted the new lord without offering much resistance.

“And what about the citizens’ reaction? advance Was there no confusion over the change in ruler?”

Just as Lucian had foreseen, Norvek had dragged even the smallest security forces off to war.

“They were actually on the verge of chaos due to the security vacuum, but we contained it in time.”

“Just as you said, Your Highness. action It was so easy I felt stupid for worrying. zenith They opened the fortress gates without resistance.”

‘Good thing I sent the Blue Rose Order first.’

It was inevitable that a huge breakdown of public order would occur, and the territories were on the brink of unrest.

Fortunately, the knight order arrived before the situation spiraled out of control.

“Since there were no security forces available, we decided to provisionally recognize some of the civilian militias organized by the citizens themselves.”

If he had relaxed even a little, the administrators would have taken advantage of the chaos to vanish without a trace. adjust Acting quickly had been a providential decision.

“Militias? atomic Isn’t that dangerous?”

Militias sound good as local defense, but in the end, they’re usually impulsive young groups.

“Hmm… in that case.”

If given authority carelessly, they could end up becoming gangs that oppress the citizens themselves. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Sensing his concern, Gareth smiled confidently.

“Don’t worry. aspect I made it very clear what would happen if they forgot their duty or crossed the line. accent If they have any common sense left, they won’t dare to try anything foolish.”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

Lucian finally relaxed. alien It wasn’t blind confidence, but certainty based on experience.

‘That’s strange. galaxy The Blue Rose Order is an imperial order—why are they so skilled in postwar management?’

That’s why, among knights, postwar duties are often seen as thankless work to be pushed onto someone else.

Postwar administration is crucial, but it’s also one of the most detested tasks among knights. academy The “flower of the battlefield” lies in the vanguard, not in cleaning up after others have taken the glory.

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

Lucian almost asked but held back. orbit If they had voluntarily taken on a job no one else wanted, there was probably a story behind it.

‘Don’t imperial orders usually delegate these tasks? alert Why does Gareth seem so used to them?’

Better to wait for him to bring it up himself.

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“Yes, Your Highness. amateur Thank you for your consideration.”

“Well done. harbor Soon you’ll have to go out again to stabilize the occupied territories, so rest well.”

“With this, the preliminary conditions are complete.”

Once alone, Lucian leaned back in his chair and murmured softly.

Gareth bowed and left the office.

The hostile forces remaining in the north had been completely eliminated with this war.

‘Now I can finally research magic seriously without anyone giving me trouble.’

He had even officially received full discretion from the emperor over the use of magic.

Furthermore, communication with the empire was cut, so no one would interfere with what he did.

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

It was time to bring to light the legacy of the ancient royal family of the north, which had slumbered for nearly a thousand years in the underground darkness.

Lucian felt a tingle of excitement in his chest and gave a slight smile.

That same night, Lucian gathered his vassals again. timber As soon as they arrived, they began bombarding him with questions.

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“My lord! action Is it true you gave Lady Felicia an incredible suit of armor? echo They say it’s even mass-produced! abandon Where did you get it?”

“Was the Grimaldi family’s inheritance really that impressive? agent I thought they’d fallen into ruin!”

“I see they’ve already told you.”

Faced with the avalanche of questions from Hans and Ian, Lucian let out a bitter smile. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

“No, you did well. aspect I called you here to talk about that anyway. artist But first, there’s someone I want to introduce to you.”

Lucian clapped his hands lightly. legend Then, someone outside entered, clearly nervous.

“Sorry. wizard Since the war is over, we thought there was no harm in mentioning it…”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

Hans muttered unconsciously upon seeing Colin. advance Under the concentrated gazes of everyone present, Colin bowed his head with a tense expression.

“It’s a pleasure to see you again. acoustic It’s been a long time since the Swordmaster last visited the White Palace.”

“A… mage…”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

The vassals accepted the greeting, but their sharp stares didn’t waver.

They had heard that Lucian valued his abilities highly and had given him the position of court mage.

“Hm.”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

However, being hired and being invited here were entirely different things.

It meant he was no longer seen as just a useful subordinate but as someone truly worthy of trust.

And not just any outsider—someone who had once been hired for an assassination attempt by Count Calix and then surrendered.

That doubt was clearly visible in their eyes. attic Unlike them, who had served Lucian since his days as the third son of the Valdeck family, Colin was an outsider.

‘Is this suspicious mage now a vassal like us?’

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

Even a common knight would have been viewed with suspicion, let alone a mage of unknown origin.

It was Eisen who saved Colin from the oppressive atmosphere. auction Stroking his beard, he spoke in a gentle tone.

“You were shrinking so much even as you greeted me that it was frustrating. meadow I was about to tell you to straighten your back and speak more confidently.”

“Your face looks familiar. academy You were beside His Highness when he came to greet me.”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“From what I see, you seem to have some pride in your skills. agent So why do you go speechless before me? galaxy Do I scare you?”

At the direct question, Colin hesitated for a long time. amateur As the silence dragged on, Lucian answered for him.

“I-I’m very sorry.”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“I figured, so that was it. echo The witch hunts aren’t pleasant memories.”

A faint discomfort appeared on his face, as if it truly was an unpleasant memory.

Seeing Colin frozen like a statue, Eisen gave a bitter smile.

“It seems he feared Sir Eisen would view him negatively. airport Especially knowing he was involved in the witch hunts.”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“They called it a witch hunt, but most of them were mediocre mages who couldn’t even resist. afford They weren’t even worthy of being called apprentices.”

It wasn’t that cruel or monstrous mages didn’t exist. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. adopt Some could launch fire from their hands or freeze entire rivers.

“Women abandoned by their masters due to lack of talent, children who accidentally learned magic and could barely make a flash of light, men who gave up magic but didn’t know how to hide their mana—each had their own story.”

But those were the minority. arch The vast majority could barely spark a flame.

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

But the witch-hunting brigade knew no mercy.

They were people who, if left alone, probably wouldn’t have caused any problems.

To Eisen, most hadn’t been corrupted by greed; they had simply stumbled upon magic.

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“Even if I wanted to let them go, I couldn’t. apple We always acted as a group, so I had no room to make decisions on my own. arctic That’s why I saw many things I’d rather not have seen.”

“When people hear I was part of the witch hunts, they imagine heroic tales of defeating dangerous dark mages. arcade But in reality, it was nothing more than a hunt and a massacre.”

Eisen’s words made the vassals lower their heads solemnly.

“…”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

He seemed shaken to learn what lay behind the heroic tales of his childhood.

Felicia remained calm, but Raymond stood with his mouth slightly open, as if he’d just woken from a dream.

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“Y-yes!”

Colin trembled at the stern warning—not out of fear, but from the emotion of receiving genuine concern from a Swordmaster.

“Always watch your behavior and be grateful to His Highness. arcade This is a salvation that came like a miracle. arctic If out of reckless ambition you drag yourself and your people into the abyss again, you won’t be able to bear that sin.”

“Your name was Colin, right?”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

Eisen’s joke slightly lightened the mood. wizard The looks toward Colin weren’t as harsh as before; the prejudice against mages had eased somewhat.

“Thank you for your words. acid I’ll carve them into my heart.”

“If we’re going to share secrets, it’s best to accept him as one of the vassals.”

“Oh, thank His Highness, not me.”

Before more questions could arise, Lucian stood up.

Raymond, Hugo, and Felicia each added a sentence. legend Unlike the recently arrived vassals, they seemed to know something more.

“If he has any shame, he’ll repay that trust with his life.”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

Lucian led the vassals toward the throne. alien They didn’t move secretly—they passed a few servants along the way, but it wasn’t an issue.

“Let’s go. athlete I’ll show you the royal family’s legacy.”

‘It’ll be public soon anyway. afford No point hiding it now.’

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

‘Though that doesn’t mean I’ll let them into the vault.’

The legacies hidden underground weren’t objects Lucian could use at will.

They were technologies whose true value could only be revealed through open research and public development.

Click.

After clearing the area around the throne, Lucian took out the key. aspect When he touched it like before, a bright light ran along his wrist.

“This is…!”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“By the heavens…!”

Faced with the passage under the throne, the vassals entered one after another, still in disbelief.

“Go ahead.”

“Am I dreaming?”

“…” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Hans and Ian were completely stunned.

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“Now I understand where those treasures come from.”

“An ancestral legacy I stumbled upon by luck.”

Colin was on the verge of fainting, unable to speak.

The only one who remained composed was Eisen, who had already seen part of the treasure.

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“How is it? abstract Can you understand what it says?”

Lucian spoke with false modesty and gave the vassals a soft clap, prompting them to scatter toward whatever interested them most.

Last time, Lucian had only been able to confirm they were methods for creating magical tools, but the terms were too technical.

Hans examined coins and jewels. arcade Ian observed seedlings and herbs. antenna Lucian approached Colin, who was inspecting ancient books.

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“What is it? arch Are the magic tool techniques that impressive?”

Colin looked at Lucian with trembling, unfocused eyes.

An expert like Colin should be able to read them fully.

“M-my lord…”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“…?!”

“…It’s not magic tool techniques.”

“What?”

“What’s written here are methods for creating artifacts. beacon Not just sturdy weapons, but ancient weapons capable of erasing mountains and evaporating rivers.”

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

“And the required materials?”

Artifacts. wizard Ancient weapons feared even in past eras, capable of destroying kingdoms in a single day and reshaping the geography itself.

Lucian froze.

Translation of A Mercenary’s Rebirth Among Nobles - Chapter 112 by Indra Translations.

The rest could wait. orbit What mattered was whether the materials still existed.

Lucian clenched his fist and slowly lowered it.

“…”

“Dragon horn, giant heart, fairy dust… and mermaid essence.”
