The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 309



310 – Method

“Should I call you the creator of this world rather than my lord?”

Raelan twisted the corner of his mouth and changed his words as if he remembered it too late.

“No. “It would be more accurate to say that it is a copy of the Creator.”

As expected, Raelan did not seem to care much about the fact that he was a character in a novel. She seemed even more interested in my situation, having fallen into a character like herself.

“It’s a complicated situation. Roel is not only our threatening enemy, but he is also our only hope for defeating the Demon King.”

There are currently three beings who can destroy the world. A demon king who hates humans and wants to destroy the human world, and a cult leader who seeks true freedom by destroying the world. And even Roel, who plans to become one with everyone for everyone’s salvation.

When I listed it like this, I could see that it was a really complicated situation. Even the Demon King, like a cliche, has a setting that can never be defeated unless it is the hero Roel, so Roel’s performance was necessary.

“This is Roel, who has already drawn a draw with the God of Chaos through the salvation he believes is right several times. He won’t doubt now that his actions were wrong. This time too, he will blindly become one with everyone, leaving those absorbed by him in a utopia, and he will endure the years of hardship alone.”

Raelan gave a sharp look with a wicked smile.

“How do you plan to persuade Roel like that?”

Part of me wanted to sigh loudly, but I didn’t want to appear weak in front of Raelan, who had just become my colleague.

I spoke, deliberately feigning a relaxed attitude.

“We have to do something. It is unlikely that persuasion will work on Roel, who has already destroyed other worlds several times. However, persuasion is not necessarily the answer.”

In response to my answer, Raelan leaned back in his chair and folded his hands in front of his chest. He pierced my thoughts with his sharp eyes, like a viper curled up and ready to sink its fangs into me.

“It looks like they are planning to kill Roel before he can absorb the powers of the immortal Roman.”

Thanks to the Memorize magic, enough information had been delivered to Raelan. As befits the title of the Mad Trickster, Raelan guessed only from the clues provided and penetrated my thoughts.

It wasn’t that I felt bad or worried. Rather, I was very happy that I was able to accept Raelan as a colleague because of his ability to read my thoughts without explaining anything.

I drew a cool smile on my lips.

“No doubt Roel will try to take advantage of the Emperor’s crazy plan. If we kill the most important immortal in the plan, Roel and everyone will never become one.”

Raelan touched his chin and answered in a cautious voice.

“It won’t be easy. It would be difficult to kill the immortal itself, but Roel, who has memories from another world, would not just sit by and watch the immortal who is the most important to his plan fall into danger.”

I shrugged my shoulders and said slyly.

“Isn’t that why you’re trying to gather outstanding colleagues?”

Raelan, who narrowed his eyes sharply and glared at me, smiled.

“So what do you plan to do next? “It looks like you have a rough plan.”

Before answering Raelan’s question, I decided to first check whether the Memorise spell was successful.

“Have the memories been transmitted properly? “I even included the last conversation I had with Ross of Longing in the Memorize spell.”

Raelan frowned reflexively at my question.

“Yes, the Memorize spell was successful, so don’t worry. It was to the point where I felt as if I had personally experienced even unnecessary emotions that I didn’t want to know about. “Do people really feel that many different emotions?”

I smiled bitterly at the sight of Raelan shaking his head with a sigh as if he couldn’t understand.

“Isn’t that usually the case?”

“It’s normal. “It didn’t suit me, who is exceptional, so I felt intense discomfort because I couldn’t understand it.”

Seeing Raelan nodding as if he finally understood, I confirmed that the Memorize spell was successful and answered the previous question.

“I plan to act quietly for now. By increasing the number of colleagues by passing on memories like we do now. “There are three people that come to mind that I would like to recruit.”

Raelan must have been intrigued by my choice, and raised one corner of his mouth.

“Are you planning to save your colleagues first? Well, since there is not enough information right now, it is better to think carefully about the next move rather than making a hasty move. So who do you plan on having as your colleague?”

In response to Raelan’s question, I said the name that came to mind.

“Conrad, the orchestrator of the world, Eunice, a tactician who read the situation, and Estelle, the leader of the Modest guild. “Those three are the colleagues I’m trying to recruit this time.”

Raelan thought for a moment with a serious expression on his face, then opened his mouth as if muttering to himself.

“Eunice and Conrad will easily become colleagues just by sharing your memories. But Estelle… Well, is it really worth recruiting him as a colleague?”

There is a setting that Modest’s information power is the best in the world. Modest’s help was essential to find out Roel and the church’s plans in advance.

The importance of Modest and all the things he had done with Estelle were all conveyed through memory, but for some reason, Raelan was uneasy about Estelle’s recruitment. I wondered why.

“Are you thinking negatively about Estelle’s family because they are related to the church?”

As if my prediction was correct, Raelan twitched one corner of his mouth and twitched his eyebrows as if he was displeased with having his thoughts read.

“… As Ross of Longing said, the frustration has definitely been reduced a lot. That’s right. It bothers me that it has anything to do with a religious denomination. “I can’t get the thought out of my head.”

“But without the Modest’s intelligence power, it will be quite difficult to block Roel and the church’s plans.”

Raelan rubbed his forehead.

“It is true that Modest’s excellent intelligence is necessary, but it is not so essential that we have to take risks. “Within one year, I will be able to create an organization with information power similar to that of the Modest.”

If you are a brilliant Raelan, you will be able to use the power of the Perlkus family to obtain information power similar to that of Modest. But one year was too long.

I had no idea what Roel, with his blind goal of saving everyone, would do in that one year. It was a situation where I didn’t know what kind of variable-filled being would fill the empty space of the crazy Jamie who died by my hand with a new Confsion.

“The church is the final enemy we must defeat. Even though the Modests are an independent group, they ultimately belong to a religious sect. There is a possibility that they might betray us. Even if it is not their will. Even Estelle’s clan is restricted from resisting the church.”

I shook my head as Raelan thought about the possibility that Estelle would be forced to betray us.

“You never know where variables will pop up over the course of a year. We need Modest’s information power right now. Estelle, who is trying to escape the influence of the cult, is a person who is far from the destruction of the world, which is the goal of the cult.”

I added one word with a confident voice.

“I trust the Estelle I know. “We already have a common destiny.”

The Estelles I experienced in other worlds were all different people, but that was actually why I was able to trust her. From what I have experienced so far, Estelle is a trustworthy person.

Raelan sighed and nodded.

“I guess he tried to convey the memory because he could trust it. If your decision is firm, I will not stop you any further. But let me give you one piece of advice. “Do not pass on any memories related to possession to Estelle.”

I asked, thinking about Raelan’s words again.

“Are you worried that Estelle will think negatively of me for possessing someone else’s body?”

“There is no need to go out and promote your shortcomings. Me, Eunice, and Conrad won’t really care if you’re the creator of this world or if Ross is possessed by a copy of your soul. Because I know what’s more important than that. But Estelle is bound by the restrictions of the church. “Even though we share a common destiny with her, we need to be careful.”

I nodded, thinking the advice made sense. Raelan, who was lost in thought for a moment while stroking his chin, snapped his fingers and said.

“Since this has already happened, why don’t you hand over your memories to Bella? “He could be a very useful companion.”

I was taken aback by the sudden words and tilted my head. Just as Estelle was associated with the church and was dangerous to have as a colleague, Bella was also associated with Roel. The risk would even be greater for Bella than for Estelle. Because Bella was the future emperor.

I asked with a puzzled mind because I couldn’t understand Raelan’s intention when he said such a thing, although he knew it well.

“Are we going to raise the risk even further?”

Bella will definitely betray us if she finds out that we are Roel’s enemies. Even if Bella intellectually understands that Roel is wrong and we are right… It was obvious that she would help the only person who made her life useful.

To Bella, Roel was a person more precious than her own life.

Even in other worlds, Roel’s choice to sacrifice his life for victory did not change. The saying that you would do anything for the person you love was an accurate way to describe Bella.

Nothing will change her settings.

However, Raelan sharply raised his eyes and let out a low, maniacal laugh, like a back alley merchant proposing a shady deal.

“Hehe, our lord still lacks experience in manipulating people by exploiting their weaknesses.”

The mad tactician smiled leisurely at the opportunity to capitalize on his strengths.
