The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 270



271 – How to return home

I showed Fatulga’s spellbook to Ellie to return to the original world. It was an action hidden in the expectation that Ellie, who became the Grand Wizard, would find something I didn’t know about.

Ellie, who slowly and carefully checked the contents of the magic book, frowned slightly at the page explaining the dimensional passage, and even furrowed her eyebrows when she checked the page on how to create a passage to another world, which was newly added to the magic book. .

Ellie, who had been staring at the book for a while, going back and forth several times, broke the silence only after letting out a long sigh.

“Ross, to be honest, I cannot believe what is written in this magic book.”

Ellie shook her head in bewilderment and closed Patulga’s magic book. She rested her chin on her hand with a face full of worry, like a scholar faced with an unacceptable truth.

“Recognizing space as coordinates is never easy. Calculating fixed spatial coordinates to install a portal is a task that takes even an imperial wizard several weeks. Even the magical concept of creating entrances and passages to connect the passages of dimensions realized in the imagination… “I think it’s impossible.”

Ellie continued speaking while rubbing her eyebrows.

“Even you, who freely use it, can’t explain it. Honestly, if someone other than you had shown me the magic book, I would have been convinced that you were a stupid fraudster who couldn’t even tell a plausible lie. “I can’t even interpret the last page magically.”

I was taken aback by Ellie’s words. Suddenly, I felt a sense of déjà vu and searched for memories of having had a similar conversation.

Estelle also said something similar to Ellie. ‘The concept of a dimensional passage is impossible.’ At the time, I didn’t really understand it so I just ignored it, but seeing Ellie say this makes me think there’s something wrong.

“… But you also moved me here using teleportation magic, right? ”

“That’s right, I simply twisted and turned over the structure of the academy’s crime prevention security magic spell that I installed, and set the intruder’s movement result to this room, not the dungeon.”

Saying that, Ellie shifted her crossed legs to the other side.

“But the teleportation magic and the dimensional passage you use are different. “In the first place, unlike portals, the teleportation used by wizards does not use spatial coordinates.”

I was shocked by Ellie’s words. Naturally, I thought that like my spatial magic, I would recognize spatial coordinates and use teleportation magic there. I asked because I couldn’t understand.

“How can you move where you want without spatial coordinates?”

“Rather than creating a passage in space, it is a method that implements the distortion of space with magic power and uses the directionality of the dimension by reading the flow of magic power using the recoil of space.”

Ellie explained in a kind voice, but I couldn’t understand the explanation at all. Because it was so different from the magic I used.

Ellie lowered her gaze and pondered for a moment, then sighed deeply and muttered softly.

“… Perhaps creating a dimensional passage should not be interpreted as the realization of magic, but closer to the manifestation of power. “Assuming there is probability, that is the only plausible explanation.”

At Ellie’s words, I suddenly became curious and asked.

“You just read Fatulga’s spellbook. “Can’t you even create a dimensional passageway now?”

Eli didn’t answer right away. Ellie pursed her lips for a moment as if hesitating, then glanced down at her and answered.

“No, you can make it.”

In response to Ellie’s answer, I looked like I was wondering what the problem was. Then Ellie slightly stuck out her lips and spoke weakly.

“… If you tell me the spatial coordinates and give me enough time, say a week… “At least one.”

“A week… ? “One of those too?”

When I asked again in a slightly surprised voice, Ellie pouted her lips a little more, as if she didn’t like my reaction. But I was so surprised that I couldn’t hide my expression. Ellie, who became an archmage, became a wizard with tremendous skills.

He is a wizard so powerful that he binds me so that I cannot even move a finger, leaving me no chance to resist. The reason for my surprise was that Ellie could not use dimensional passages, the basis of space magic, as skillfully as I could.

“Yes, it is impossible for me to recognize spatial coordinates and create dimensional passages during battle like you. Even Master Nelson couldn’t do it… . “Can you show me how to use space magic?”

At Ellie’s request, I nodded and recognized the spatial coordinates around me. When I put my hand into the entrance to the dimension created in the air and pulled it out to the exit of the dimension created in front of Ellie and shook it, Ellie suddenly grabbed my hand and played with it as if tickling me, and then conversely, she entered the exit of her dimension. even put his hand in it.

After checking several things, Ellie nodded slightly as if she understood something, and then took her hand out again.

“Even if the hand goes somewhere else, the feeling is the same, and there is no problem with using magical power… .”

Ellie, who was muttering to herself and nodding repeatedly as if trying to remember, must have felt my gaze on her, blushed slightly and made an excuse.

“Pyeong, since I usually study alone, I just talked to myself out of habit.”

I tilted my head at Ellie’s words. The lord of the Black Magic Tower who ascended to the position of Grand Mage is alone, so does he have no assistants or disciples? When asked about that, Ellie answered as if nothing had happened.

“… “I’m comfortable alone.”

For some reason, Ellie seemed lonely when she said that. I pretended not to notice and looked away and returned to the original story.

“Like creating a dimensional passage, is there a way to fix the exit of the passage to another world to the world I originally came from?”

Ellie’s eyes lit up at my question. She Ellie seemed to be very interested in conversations about magic, more than anything else. After Ellie came closer to me, she explained her hypothesis.

“I couldn’t interpret the explanation about the passage to another world, but considering that it says that creating a dimensional passage is the basis of spatial magic… “Wouldn’t creating an exit for the passage follow the existing method?”

“If it was before… How to create a dimensional passage? However, without spatial coordinates, a dimensional passage cannot be created. Because I can’t create an exit at the coordinates. “I don’t even know the coordinates of the original world I was in.”

In response to my answer, Ellie lifted her eyes up for a moment, thought about something, looked at me, and asked.

“Can you explain to me what method was used to build the passageway most recently?”

In response to Ellie’s questions, I explained as much as I could about the magical phenomena I felt and the operation of magical power.

Ellie, who calmly listened to my explanation, nodded, mumbled something to herself so softly that I couldn’t hear it, and scratched her forehead that was covered by her bangs.

“The passage to another world may not require separate spatial coordinates. “Because twice you arrived at a place that was far from where you were originally.”

“But the problem is that I don’t know what world I will end up in. I don’t even know if I can return to the original world. “If I keep wandering around in other worlds, I might die as a devil like this time.”

As I sighed and spoke negatively, Ellie’s obsidian-like eyes shined.

“Perhaps it’s like creating a dimensional passage in your mind… “The moment you create a passage to another world, shouldn’t you have an image of the passage’s destination?”

“Image about the destination… ?”

“You said it? “The first time I made a passage, I realized it with the intention of escaping through a dimensional gap, and the second time, I thought I would definitely return to the original world, so I simply thought about making a passage.”

I unconsciously nodded at Ellie’s words. That was true. Naturally, I thought I would return to the original world and only thought about implementing a passage.

“Because all magic books advance to the latter part based on the basic magic. “I think basic space magic must have been used as the basis for the magic of the passage to another world written on the last page of the book.”

It was information that I could not guess, but was able to find out from Ellie’s perspective after reading numerous magic books. The possibility seemed good enough.

After listening to Ellie’s explanation and thinking back to the method of creating the passage, I was able to find parts that were similar to the method of creating the dimensional passage. When she looked happy that she had found a way to get back home, Ellie urgently grabbed her arm.

“Wait a minute, don’t be so quick to like it. This is just a hypothesis based on explanations and theories about magic that has never been used. “When you actually create a passage, the imagery may not have anything to do with it.”

“But that sounds the most plausible. There is no other way than that… “I have no choice but to check for myself.”

At my words, Ellie nodded with a helpless expression.

“But just in case, why don’t you at least write a note in advance? If you go to another world, you won’t be able to maintain your magical power and you will forget the conversation you had with me. Even if you fail, I can help you again if you let me know your hypothesis.”

I nodded at Ellie’s words and took out a notepad from the storage room. Thanks to the blessing of oblivion, I had to write down things related to Ellie because their memories would naturally be corrected by other people or forgotten.

After finishing the note, I checked the condition of the runes on my wrist. There was still a few hours to wait before the passage could be made.

“I think we’ll be able to make a passage in about three hours.”

Ellie’s expression darkened at my words. Although he helped me return home, I think it was a shame to say goodbye when I told him I was actually leaving. As their eyes met, Ellie managed her expression by clearing her throat, and then she nodded her head vigorously. At the same time, she smiled brightly, which seemed to indicate that she was planning to send me off with a smile.

I also smiled as I faced Ellie. There is still time. It will be enough time for the conversation we haven’t had in a while. Thinking like that, she tried to open her mouth, but for some reason she felt a strange sense of discomfort. I feel like I missed something important.

As I pondered what it was, I finally realized the difference from the previous world. As I crossed into another world, the person I needed to be most careful of came to mind.

I asked Ellie with a trembling voice.

“You must have felt my presence, so why didn’t Roel come visit me?”
