Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1)
At the highest spire of that structure, which symbolized the power of the Empire, Kohella sat alone, gazing at the night sky.
The glittering firmament looked like a sea made of stars.
The Palace of Gremport, regarded as the most lavish, vast, and refined building ever constructed by human hands.
Extending her hand toward the center of that sea, the elderly mage murmured to herself.

What kind of inspiration might that cluster of seven brilliantly shining stars have given Adelbert, the great mage?
The Big Dipper, discovered among the multitude of stars.
‘I have almost found them all.’
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
Recalling the depth of that magic, she gently closed her eyes once more.
Combat, confusion, transformation, summoning, exploration, the forbidden, and something that extended beyond all of that.
The seventh domain that Adelbert never set down in his writings and kept jealously hidden.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
That was the conclusion Kohella arrived at.
To reach it, it was necessary to gather in one place those who had reached the limits of each discipline.
Six-star mages, those who had touched the threshold of human limits.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
Kohella, mage of the transformation system.
Melverot, mage of the combat system.
Drest, mage of the exploration system.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
The memories of Adelbert that she had glimpsed could not have been mistaken.
There had to be more six-star mages who did not show themselves to the world, who even escaped Kohella’s eyes.
The world acknowledged the existence of only those three, but Kohella was convinced that could not be all.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
They might not yet have fully awakened their talent, or they might be living hidden from the world.
Just as the positions of the stars do not change, that was a natural truth, part of the order of the world.
It was said that, blessed by the stars shining in the sky, there was always at least one six-star mage in each system.

“I think something is happening in the house of Baron Tigris.”
The territory of Baron Tigris lay at the southeastern edge of the continent, a small, remote mountainous region. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
All that remained were the system of confusion, the system of summoning, and the forbidden system the necromantic system.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
Baron Tigris had received those lands from Count Elvester, one of the figures with the greatest real power in the east of the continent, and was responsible for administering the surrounding area.
The territory of Baron Ravenclaw, which Dereck managed, was also modest in size, but Tigris went even further, being little more than a couple of villages.
His contribution consisted of containing the creatures that prowled the Lockrail mountain range, the backbone of the east, or subjugating occasional labyrinths.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
The territory of Tigris itself was not particularly fertile, had no distinctive products, nor did it control trade routes or strategic points, so there were not many reasons to give it great importance.
Due to its small scale, for Count Elvester it was nothing more than an auxiliary force under his command.

Inside the spacious dressing room of Count Elvester’s palace, Katia stood with her hands behind her back, presenting her report.
“Hmm…”
After making a long journey to the southwest of the continent, fatigue showed on her face, but even so she maintained a serious expression, as if it were an important report.
Late in the afternoon.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
“Internal affairs are not your concern. alien I don’t know why you are suddenly showing concern for the house of Baron Tigris, but coincidentally, this very morning a report arrived from the baron himself regarding the recent situation.”
“I thought you would bring back a relevant report after going all the way to Ebelstein, but you have brought up an unexpected topic, Katia.”
Count Elvester, one of the most influential nobles in the east of the continent, was adjusting his coat with the help of his servants.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
He was an authoritative and dominant man, worthy of the head of House Elvester, but his trust in Katia was firm.
For that reason, even when she seemed to be meddling in the internal affairs of the house, he showed no obvious displeasure.
Having had her as a vassal for so many years, he knew her wisdom well.
Through the large mirror in front of him, he met Katia’s gaze, revealing his sharp features and piercing eyes.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
She seemed to want to say that that could not be true, but presenting a warning without evidence before the count could bring consequences.
At those words, Katia swallowed silently.
“That’s right. voyage As always, the territory of Baron Tigris showed no significant changes. arrow I personally confirmed the baron’s seal as well, so I would like you to stop worrying, Katia.”
“…You say a report had already arrived?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
“What I expected from you was not that kind of concern. adjust From what I see, you also passed through the territory of Baron Ravenclaw. audit How were things in the high society around Ebelstein?”
“House Elvester has always reigned at the center of high society. arrow Even if these events occur at the far end of the continent, if the waves are large, they will undoubtedly end up affecting the high society of the east as well.”
“Ah, yes. anxiety I verified both the state of construction of the Ravenclaw Academy and the situation of Ebelstein’s high society. apple Their momentum is remarkable; it seems that major changes are approaching.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
Katia bowed her head and replied firmly.
“Yes.”
“I know you have a keen eye for the education of young nobles, so I don’t think you will fall behind. airport But I want you never to forget this. apron No matter what happens, House Elvester cannot lose its authority in high society. antique And you are on the front line of that battle.”

Even so, Fina had taken no further action.
It had already been quite some time since Fina caused that uproar in the house of Baron Ravenclaw.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
And that silence, far from reassuring her, made her increasingly uneasy.
“When the weather becomes milder, the Ravenclaw Academy will also be finished. sphere Lately, it seems that Lady Aiselin has been very busy recruiting teachers and administrative staff.”

The maids, who had been waiting in a corner of the training grounds, immediately approached with cloths and wiped his back with quick, coordinated movements.
The residence of Baron Ravenclaw.
After finishing a long session of magical training and wiping away his sweat, Dereck listened to the report from the butler, Delbriton.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
“I share that concern. aspect But I didn’t dare stop her.”
Even so, he did not press him to go on.
Dereck noticed that Delbriton had hesitated before continuing his report.
“I’m worried she might collapse again from overwork…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
He knew perfectly well what was making him hesitate.
The image of Aiselin completely absorbed in her work seemed to radiate an almost demonic energy.
The passion burning in her eyes was such that, if someone tried to stop her by force, she seemed capable of reducing everything to ashes without distinguishing between allies and enemies.
‘Another new task…! aluminum Personnel management seems complicated, but it also has surprisingly simple aspects…’
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
She was the woman who, with her own hands, was rebuilding the Duplain family.
Lately, even Dereck had begun to feel a certain fear toward Aiselin.
“…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
“Additionally, regarding the incident that occurred last time, we ordered a thorough search, but no traces of any intruder were found. echo I truly apologize.”
A silence laden with tacit understanding.
An odd silence settled between Delbriton and Dereck.
Judging her only by her delicate appearance was a sure way to get burned.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
She had attacked Katia and had also directly threatened Dereck.
Fina had passed through the strict security alone and had sat in the reception hall of the residence, covered in blood.
The next thing Delbriton reported was the matter of Fina.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
“Leave it. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. legend In any case, she’s not someone the vassals can track.”
However, the wrecked reception hall could not be completely hidden, so only formal investigations were ordered as a cover.
Of course, all of this would be kept secret. portal There was nothing good to be gained from it becoming known that they were involved with a black mage.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
When Dereck closed the matter, Delbriton expressed no further opinions.
‘She definitely didn’t look normal.’
He seemed to sense that his lord knew more, but he had no intention of probing into what Dereck was not saying.
“…Understood.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
He had never seen her tremble, cornered like that.
Fina had always been a young woman who acted with elegance and composure, maintaining a haughty façade.
Dereck brought a hand to his chin and fell into a brief moment of reflection.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
And yet, at that moment, she seemed to harbor an intense and twisted desire of possession toward Dereck.
She was someone who seemed to have lived through everything, incapable of forming attachments.

But nothing had happened. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
After sharing all the information with Katia, Dereck had been carefully observing the movements around him.
Becoming the target of a six-star black mage was not something that could be taken lightly.
‘At least, if I knew what happened in the territory of Tigris, it would be easier to assess the situation…’
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
Even in the midst of all that, he had to handle the internal affairs of the barony, review the academy’s construction schedule, and not neglect his magical training.
That unnatural calm, far from reassuring him, gave him an unsettling feeling.
Even so, it was not a situation in which he could act rashly, so he merely kept all his senses on alert.
Without noticing, almost a week had passed.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
Daily life continued to move forward, without stopping.
“Are you sure? atomic That the lord himself was attacked in the heart of the barony is no minor matter.”
“Regarding the incident, I have a rough idea of what happened, so there’s no need to continue with further investigations. airport There are too many things to attend to inside and outside the residence to waste the vassals’ time.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
When Dereck made a gesture indicating that it was enough, the maid who had been drying him flinched and immediately stepped back.
“Understood. portal As for other important reports—”
Looking at the group of maids with an indifferent gaze, it was clear that they were novices, newly arrived.
“The person involved says she is fine. zenith Limit everything to what is necessary and make sure the residence functions without problems. adopt From what I can see, things outside might get a bit noisy. wizard At times like these, the inside must not waver.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
Lower-ranking maids, still inexperienced, often felt an inexplicable fear when seeing Dereck train magic.
Destroying, freezing, distorting, or ravaging an entire area ceases to be something exceptional.
From the four-star rank onward, the magic one begins to use no longer seems human.
Dereck did not scold them upon noticing their obvious nervousness.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
“In your study, you will find a letter from the Duchy of Rochest.”
The admiration and respect of ordinary people only reach up to the three-star rank.
It was not strange for commoners, with no prior knowledge of magic, to feel a certain distance.
And those who could truly understand that difference were not many across the entire continent.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
“You see… he requests that you visit him soon in the territory of Rochest.”
“…Lord Melverot in person?”
“Was it sent by Lord Melverot? sphere Now that you mention it, it’s been a while since we last exchanged messages.”

He could not so easily ignore a request from Melverot, who had pulled many strings for Dereck to obtain his noble title.
It felt as though another matter had been added to the list.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
“Did he indicate the reason?”
“So suddenly?”
“Yes. atlas He said not to worry about your schedule and to come to the territory of Rochest immediately.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
“…”
One of Dereck’s disciples, Miss Siern, came from the distant and frigid Duchy of Rochest in the north, covered in perpetual snow.
“He said that… it had been a long time since he had seen his daughter’s face.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
He would never have imagined that the cold and aloof Lord Melverot would order a busy Baron of Ravenclaw to travel back and forth just because he wanted to see his daughter.
However, he had never considered the opposite.
Although she seemed to have adapted to the warm and gentle climate of the southwest, at times Dereck wondered if she missed the snowy lands. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
‘Is there another reason he can’t write in a letter…?’
Dereck had already noticed it.
He knew how to use his subordinates. academy Calling someone from so far away without a compelling reason was not an intelligent decision.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
Even so, if that was the pretext, the proper course was to go along with it.
“My father sent a letter saying he wanted to see me…?”
That Melverot was calling him with such urgency, and that the reason was simply wanting to see his daughter, did not fit his character at all.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
Even so, outwardly she still appeared calm.
If she had had a tail, she would probably have been wagging it nonstop.
When Dereck brought the news to the private residence in Ebelstein, Siern began making small hops, her eyes shining like stars.
After frequenting the Rose Hall and gradually learning the etiquette of a lady, her demeanor had become noticeably more refined compared to the days when she lived secluded in the tower of the Duchy of Rochest.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
Her hair, her eyes, and even the ruffled dress she was wearing were completely white.
“Yes. riddle It seems we’ll be going to greet the Duchy of Rochest soon. amateur You will come with us, Miss Siern.”
Although she normally maintained an expressionless face, those who knew her well could easily read her mood.
And yet, the energy she emanated seemed to shine with all colors.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
“Choose them yourself, Dereck. canvas I think my father will like it more if you choose them.”
“Of course. apron I have to show him everything I’ve learned at the Ravenclaw residence and at the Rose Hall… Dereck, if you’re not busy right now, help me choose the clothes I’ll wear to the north before we leave.”
“For that… other ladies or the maids would know more than I do.”
Her voice was calm, but her attitude and expression revealed how excited she was.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 167: Ancient Hero (1) by Indra Translations.
Seeing her so happy, Dereck could not help but feel satisfied as well.
