Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

[Some time later, in the Principality of Lanoa, in the magical city of Sharia]

Um......

Well, how should I put it?

I am astonished by this city.

The largest city I've ever seen before was Roya, but compared to this place, it's really nothing special.

Roya... always gives off a messy feeling...

Upon closer reflection, there is indeed some truth to it.

It's probably because of their different positioning.

Historically, Roya was an important defensive line in the war between humans and demons, and it placed more emphasis on the defensive attributes of the fortress than the function of a city.

Therefore, the walls of Roa were high and thick, the gates looked very solid, and there were watchtowers all over the walls.

The places where ordinary people live are quite ordinary.

Most of them have wooden frames, mud walls with plaster, and sloping wooden tile roofs.

The better ones could be considered middle-class areas, with a one-meter-high bluestone wall on the ground floor for moisture protection and a half-timber structure on the upper part, similar to the style of medieval German houses. They are all two-story buildings, with shops on the ground floor and living quarters on the second floor facing the street.

The lord's Boreas manor did look pretty cool at the time, but it was clearly a residential area converted from a castle.

It certainly isn't very artistic.

It's more like a larger town; it has everything, but it's just so-so.

Chariah's side is truly awesome.

The basic public facilities far surpass those of Roya; paved roads seem to cover almost the entire city.

The architectural style is also quite beautiful.

Although the houses in the working-class area are also in the German timber frame style, with pointed roofs, they are all covered in a layer of white. I can imagine that the scenery after a snowfall must be very beautiful.

And these are just residential areas for ordinary people.

Besides these, there are many more beautiful buildings than in Roya.

I didn't see any city walls here.

From a distance, one can see a series of Gothic-style towers encircling the city.

I heard that the headquarters of some kind of magic guild is located in the middle of the city.

To the east is the Magic University, which gives it a bit of a fantastical, otherworldly feel. It's a huge Gothic college complex, with a bunch of towers, castles, and gardens all connected together.

The building materials are also quite different.

Most of them are standard-looking stone bricks, easily distinguishable from the sandstone and rammed earth walls of Roya.

There is also a commercial area.

The Gothic-style multi-story row of shops features large stained-glass arched windows, and the plaza fountain seems to have a built-in circulating water magic.

The buildings here have all become high-rise modern structures made of cement and brick, somewhat resembling the Haussmannian style of Paris, France, only more austere.

Combined with the beautiful paved road surface, it makes me feel like I've returned to modern society.

There are no pointed-roof houses like those in the working-class areas here. Is there some kind of magical way to deal with the snow?

Um......

压力马斯内~

This gives the feeling that magic has replaced modern technology in creating the city.

[After some time]

To be honest, suddenly arriving in such a big city, I didn't know what to do for a moment.

The original plan was to find a good place to buy a house and settle Lilia and the others in first.

But it seems this matter can't be resolved anytime soon.

So we rented a room near the magic university for them to stay in for the time being, and then we'll find a suitable place to live later.

I must first go to the Magic University to register.

I thought it would be very troublesome, but after I went in, took out my letter of recommendation, and waited for a while, someone found me in a panic and then politely led me a long way.

He said he would take me to the principal's office.

"Your Excellency Principal, Your Excellency Vice Principal, the person has been brought."

"Okay, thank you. You may leave now."

"..."

Um......

What happened?

The two people in front of me both had white hair, but they were very respectful to me and even bowed to me.

My apparent strength is probably only that of a Sword King, right?

Does Old Deng have that much influence?

And more importantly, I've spent too much time with those idiots and have long forgotten how nobles should bow...

never mind......

Let's do it my way...

After I found a comfortable sofa to sit on, another middle-aged man even respectfully poured me tea.

"Isn't that a bit too polite?"

"No, no, no, it should be said that we were the ones who were rude."

"I see. Then let's not waste time on formalities. My purpose in coming here is to borrow your school's library to research some necessary magic. I have no intention of attending classes like ordinary students."

"We understand that it would be a waste of talent for a genius like you to be grouped with ordinary students, so our school has a special [special student] system. You won't be forced to attend classes, and there are basically no restrictions on your movements on campus. You only need to attend a special student class meeting once a month at the end of the month."

"Class meeting? Is there something important?"

"Studying alone will always lead to a bottleneck, and the purpose of the class meeting is mainly to give all the special needs students an opportunity to communicate, get to know each other, and exchange ideas."

"So it's for making friends, huh? Then I won't be attending..."

"Only once a month..."

"In addition, please also prepare a research room for me, the kind where no one will disturb me, and I will pay for it."

"About money..."

"Also, don't spread my name around carelessly, or it will cause me trouble."

"..."

Um......

really

The problem lies with the name...

The demands I made before were quite rude, but they all accepted them.

When asked to remain anonymous, they simply remained silent...

In Old Deng's letter of recommendation, I'm just a Sword King, and frankly, in the eyes of a magician, a swordsman of the Sword God style should be practically illiterate, so the treatment shouldn't be that outrageous...

"So... how did you learn of my identity?"

"...Some time ago..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door was opened again.

"From me."

This time, it's... who walked in.

The burly, white-haired, golden-eyed, center-parted man – Ankylosaurus Perkius.

Beside you and with someone...

A blond man wearing a cat-face mask...

Apart from me, the other two immediately stood up and made way for Per, who unceremoniously sat down opposite me.

"Hey! Per."

"How rude of you, Holy Sword Jax."

"Didn't I come here specifically to greet you? And what's the deal with [Holy Sword Jax]?"

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network, the new Seven Great Powers."

"Eh? I've become one of the seven great powers?"

"Huh? You don't know yet?"

After some explanation, I learned that I am now the sixth of the seven great powers, and the symbol on the stone tablet is the Holy Sword of Milis...

As for the reason...

It's like a comedy story...

It must be because I accidentally injured Old Deng at the beach, bringing him to the brink of death, that I took over Old Deng's original ranking...

"So who is now the seventh of the seven great powers?"

"Now you are my master, the Sword God—Gar Farion."

"So it's because the Sword God is still alive that he replaced the Northern God, who was originally ranked seventh?"

"That's right."

Hehehehe~

LOL!

What kind of roadside figure is Bei Shen? How dare he be on the same list as me?

"But didn't Laplace, the demon god, die too? Why is he still on the list?"

"That's because he's not completely dead; he'll be resurrected and return."

"I see... So, Lord Ankylosaurus, were you waiting specifically for me to discuss this matter?"

"That's right, but you're too slow! I heard you set off from the Sword Sanctuary a long time ago, and you've kept me waiting for so long?"

"I couldn't help it, the scenery along the way was just too beautiful, and I also had a cute little one with me, so I unconsciously enjoyed it a little longer with her."

"Indeed, it's cold in the north for most of the year, and only at this time of year can you see signs of life. From the foot of the Red Dragon's Upper Jaw, and that pine forest, the scenery along the way is truly beautiful."

"Yes, that's right! It seems you know how to enjoy yourself, Per! Along the way, with its misty mountains and flowing streams, I couldn't help but waste some time drawing several pictures with my little darling."

"In that case, please make sure I can admire your paintings when the time comes."

I didn't expect Per to be so fond of art; I feel we get along quite well.

"Of course, but... why, why must I reveal my identity?"

"Since you are a hero, a role model, why do you hide yourself?"

"Since you are one of the three heroes, why don't you interfere in the Kingdom of Asura?"

"......Feel sorry."

"So, how many people still know my identity?"

"Well, I didn't spread rumors." Per turned to the other two people whose names I didn't know. "You didn't tell anyone, did you?"

"No! No! We still know..."

"That's good......"
