The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 283
284 – Speaker
I was filled with anger when I heard that the ordeal I had been through was a result of God’s arbitrariness, but the words about causality at the beginning made my head cold. causality. That was what Conrad, the orchestrator of the world, was most wary of.
Conrad said that a small leaf that passes into another world causes a big disturbance in the balance of the world and affects the causality. So why did God try to obtain causality?
I asked in a calm voice.
“Is causality important? “Isn’t that the same concept as probability?”
Jin Xian smiled at my question.
“Probability is an absolute law of the world. It is the foundation of fiction. Causality is the power that allows deviation from probability.”
When Jin Xian clapped his hands, the wall that made up the living room disappeared and a vast universe suddenly appeared.
“In your world, causality was especially necessary to an excessive degree. “Because it is the final decision that will decide everything.”
As Jin Xian said, I looked across the vast universe and thought for a moment. Was there a place where causality was needed where I was?
After thinking for a while, I muttered to myself the thoughts that came to mind.
“Could it be because of a discarded setting?”
Jin Xian did not answer. Rather, he looked at my face as if observing with strange eyes. Somehow, that gaze gives me an ominous feeling.
“It seems like your talent is focused on reading the flow of probability. That’s correct. Among the many worlds, there were only a few that used discarded settings.”
“You said there wasn’t much?”
“Yes, for the most part, Ross failed to respond to the variables created by the discarded settings and ended up in a place where progress was lower than before. So, except for the beginning, there were no worlds where the discarded settings were used.”
Jin Xian’s words made me think back to what I had heard so far. In a situation where God was using me as a pawn on the chessboard, why did I have to pull out a card called Discarded Settings that I had never used before?
I still can’t figure it out, but I thought that maybe this could be a crucial hint to save the world. After saying this, Jin Xian smiled and stroked his chin.
“The revival of the discarded setting is what Ross of Hope, who most recently reached the ending, requested from the saint.”
“I asked the saint… ?”
Was Ross of Hope in partnership with the Saint…? ? Maybe he rescued the saint and recruited her as his companion. If other Ross did it, I might be able to do it too. As I looked at Jin Xian with expectant eyes, he spoke in a voice filled with laughter.
“It looks like you are planning to recruit a saint.”
“It would be a great help if I could recruit you as a colleague.”
Jin Xian snorted at my answer.
“You idiot. A saint is just a spokesperson for God. If there was a way to save the world, it would put us in hell for eons. “A puppet without will can never be a friend.”
Jin Xian’s sharp words left me speechless and I scratched my forehead. It felt stupid to have thought of recruiting a saint as her companion simply to increase her power.
If she wanted to cooperate in the first place, she would have approached me first. Her saintess was secretly making plans of her own, and there was a possibility that those plans could become an obstacle to reaching the ending I wanted.
“… You’re right. “I’m sorry, that was stupid.”
Jin Xian smiled broadly and put his arm on my shoulder.
“It’s okay, because I know why you’re so eager to recruit colleagues. Making up for what we lack with others is a strength of human sociality. Recruiting Eunice as a teammate was also a good choice. If you recruit Raelan later, it will be a great help to your stupidity. “Because the two best strategists in the world are assisting their foolish lord.”
“… “I’ll take that as a compliment.”
As he said that and removed his heavy arm from his shoulder, Jin Xian frowned and smiled brightly.
“Ross of Hope was an archmage who had reached the level of a wise man. He saw through all the truth and realized for himself the role of a saint. After negotiating with her saint, Ross of Hope, who accepted her promise, confirmed all of her Akashic records previously recorded by her saint, and gave up his world on the condition of reviving her discarded settings. “I chose to be trapped in her bondage.”
I asked Jin Xian’s explanation with an expression of disbelief.
“I chose sacrifice… ?”
“It’s not sacrifice, it’s hope. “The foundation was laid in the hope that the next Ross would break all the bonds and save all Ross.”
I felt my hands shaking. Would I have made that choice if it were me? Can you give up all your relationships and life for Ross in the next world that you don’t even know about? I will never be able to do that.
Jin Xian, seeing my expression harden, shrugged his shoulders.
“You idiot, don’t take it so seriously. You didn’t ask for it, Ross of Hope chose it himself. Because I believed that that choice would save everyone in the multiverse. “Can’t you just think of it as giving you the money?”
I turned my head and glared at Jin Xian, who had a calm face. Even though it was my face, I never thought my thoughts would be so different from mine. As he shook his head and sighed, Jin Xian frowned.
“I can’t do this because it’s frustrating. “I feel like conversations with you, a guy who hasn’t regained his essence, keep going astray.”
Jin Xian held out his hand, showing his palm to me. As he looked at her palm and face alternately with his blank eyes, unable to understand her meaning, Qin Xian said with an annoyed expression.
“I want you to show me the Farrell family’s magic book. “It seems like another causal law is applied there.”
I tilted my head in response to Jin Xian’s question. If it was the Farel family, it would be the person who said that Estelle was their progenitor. I didn’t have the Farrell family’s magic book.
“Are you talking about Fatulga’s spellbook?”
This time Jin Xian tilted his head. Jin Xian, who was looking at her as if asking her what kind of bullshit she was talking about, suddenly flashed an eerie look in his eyes.
“Wait a minute, is it possible that the Fatulga spellbook you mentioned is not the spellbook that contains the spatial magic that Rosaleen possesses?”
“… ? Of course that’s right. “The name of the spatial magic book that Rosalind will have is Fatulga’s magic book, right?”
Our gazes were tangled in the air. And I could tell by the look in Jin Xian’s eyes. Jinxian thought that Rosalind’s wizard was the ‘Farrell family’s magic book’. But something was strange. How could Jin Xian be confused about that?
I hastily took out the settings book and checked once again the name of the magic book that Rosalind would obtain. Fatulga’s magic book. I wasn’t wrong.
“That’s right! Fatulga’s Spellbook! “It’s even in the settings book!”
Jin Xian suddenly burst into laughter. The eyes are smiling. Jin Xian said with a truly happy face.
“Pukkuk, the name Fatulga has never appeared in all the multiverse. It’s a name that doesn’t exist even in places where discarded settings are resurrected. “It’s something that only exists in your world!”
Jin Xian, who started walking around the living room with excitement, laughed to himself and turned to me. I think Jin Xian is misunderstanding something about her, and she recalled her memories of Fatulga’s spellbook.
If you think about it, the word Fatulga’s magic book has never been mentioned in other worlds. I simply explained that I had acquired Rosalyn’s spatial magic. I’d never even heard that Rosalind’s magic was called the Farel family’s magic book.
Aside from me, Estelle was the only person who read Patulga’s magic book. But even then, Estelle seemed to have said to herself that Patulga’s magic book could not exist.
What the heck is the difference… ? As I was scratching my head, Jin Xian, who had been happily walking around the living room, approached me. And then he suddenly grabbed my shoulder.
“Quickly show me Patulga’s spellbook! “I need to find out right now what the differences are from the original!”
Jin Xian’s eyes looked dangerous. This is… It’s a longing. Eyes filled with longing to gain everything. So, was Jin Xian watching everything from here? As she was secretly wondering if it would be okay to obediently hand over Fatulga’s magic book, she tapped her forehead as if Jin Xian was frustrated.
“If I use my power, I can manipulate everything in your head to my will. The reason I didn’t do that was because I was worried about what variables my intervention would create. But if you don’t cooperate, we will have no choice but to open your head by force.”
Jin Xian, growling like an animal, looked as if he would lose his temper at any moment. Her desire seems to have been stimulated by the joy of being able to find out something she didn’t know. She couldn’t help but take out Fatulga’s spell book from the space storage. Because I was sure that if Jin Xian really used force, I wouldn’t even be able to resist.
Jin Xian, who received Fatulga’s magic book from me, immediately sat down on the sofa and began to read the contents eagerly, like an avid reader who has read a new work by his favorite author for the first time in several years. Then he stopped his hand on the newly added page, looked at it for a while, and then looked at me with a dumb expression.
“This is… what?”
“It’s a page with instructions on how to create a passage to another world.”
At my answer, Jinxian looked at Patulga’s magic book and then at me with an expression of disbelief.
“Can you read this? “This isn’t even a letter?”
“No, I don’t know.”
In response to my answer, Jin Xian distorted his face viciously and said,
“Pukeuk, you swindler! Then how was it possible to use something you didn’t know to go to another world? I’ve been watching you since you were possessed! You’ve never practiced this in the original world! “How dare you lie to me!”
A great sense of intimidation was felt around Jin Xian. It had power, as if it had form. The living room floor cracked with a crackling sound, and the sofa Jin Xian was sitting on was pushed back. I answered urgently as the pressure felt like it was weighing down my whole body.
“It suddenly appeared from a dimensional gap! Of course, I didn’t even have a chance to practice! “I didn’t know how to use it, so I kept traveling to other worlds!”
As soon as I finished speaking, the surroundings became calm, as if it had never happened before. Jin Xian, who had a ferocious face that exuded an overwhelming sense of intimidation, changed into a face full of curiosity, and the pressure that had been weighing down her entire body disappeared without a trace.
Jin Xian asked with a gentle smile.
“A dimensional gap? “What does that mean?”
“what… ? Are you saying you’ve been watching me? When I was trapped in a dimensional gap due to the mad Jamie, Patulga’s magic book suddenly popped out of the space warehouse, and the number of pages that did not exist before increased. What was written on that page was a spell that created a passage to another world. “Didn’t you know that too?”
When I explained that in confusion, Jin Xian shook his head and laughed.
“Hehehe, I thought you killed Jamie and went straight to a world on the verge of destruction. Was there some contact in an unobserved gap in the dimension?”
Suddenly, Jin Xian stretched out his hand and grabbed my head. I struggled against him, embarrassed by his magical power that heated my scalp, but I could not escape his grasp. Jin Xian removed his hand, feeling something liquid-like flowing through the top of his head.
“What have you done!”
“It’s no big deal. Because I just read the traces of memories from the dimensional gap that came to mind while you were talking. “This is okay.”
Jin Xian, who said that, laughed, clutching his stomach with an expression of uncontrollable joy, and then leaned over to me.

“It wasn’t a random coincidence that I met you. This is the fate of a vast universe that surpasses the will of God. “The manager was already involved.”
Jin Xian covered my face with both hands and shouted with eyes full of madness.
“I don’t know? I, Ross of Longing… I existed as a speaker to convey all this information to you! Puk puk huh!”
