The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 320



321 – Strategy

There has been a big change in my daily routine. Whenever I have time, I challenge the Chamber of Trials, and in the remaining time, I read books about magic at the library.

Although the essence of magic was obtained through a quantum jump, there was a big difference between simply understanding a phenomenon and mastering it.

The more books I read, the more I realized that I could do more with magic than I thought.

Even the improved portal, which was already thought to be complete, was strengthened with the knowledge of magic to become an improved ‘large’ portal that is safer and can move more people.

I told Bella this right away. He is now my colleague, and he seems to have been greatly shocked by Roel’s secret, as he has been looking quite depressed lately.

As the explanation about the large, improved portal continued, Bella’s gloomy appearance disappeared, and Bella, who returned to her snake-like appearance from before, headed towards Modest as soon as the explanation was over.

It seemed like he was planning to end the contract quickly before Estelle found out that the improved portal was several times more advanced than before.

Knowledge of magic not only influenced improved portals. Nelson was able to maximize the magic efficiency of basic spatial magic and dimensional jump, which he had once improved.

I was able to solve my fatal shortcoming of not being able to recognize the spatial coordinates of places that were not in my field of vision through guidance magic.

Guide magic is the magic Luna showed in previous practice. Guide magic was a magic that drew a magic circle on the floor and released magic power to check the internal structure of the dungeon from a distance.

I modified the guide magic to create a structure that can recognize all spatial coordinates around me. Now, if you are within the effective distance of the space magic, you can pierce the head even if you are hiding yourself in the wall or floor.

Nevertheless, I did not pass the final test. Nelson in his prime pierced my heart in so many ways.

Unlike regular wizards, he seemed to encourage melee combat, so I created a beanstalk from the beginning to increase the distance. It wasn’t long before I realized that it was the wrong choice.

The reason Nelson chose close combat was because he could beat me ‘even at close range.’ My plan to win through spatial magic and infinite javelins in an advantageous terrain using the beanstalk clearly showed me why swordsmen and spearmen risked losses and tried to close the distance from wizards, a reason I had forgotten.

Nelson waved his wand and created a huge magical fortress. You can now prepare for attacks using javelins and space magic, and at the same time fire magic with great ease.

While dodging hail the size of my head falling from the sky, dying from lava rising through the floor taught me a great lesson not to carelessly distance myself from wizards.

As it was my last ordeal, it was difficult to overcome it right now, but I felt pure joy in my fight with Nelson. Even though he was losing repeatedly, he could feel that he was growing at a tremendous rate thanks to his fight with Nelson.

I attacked Nelson in ways I never would have thought of before, and repeatedly raised my senses to the extreme to avoid the magic that was constantly flying at me.

As you deal with Nelson’s magic gloves that explode or shoot magical power at close range, your spear skills and steps are forced to improve regardless of your will. Now I was swinging the spear naturally, and my body was reacting first to take the next step.

He is incomparable to someone like Cormo. Realizing how lucky I was to spar with Nelson, I asked Kane to set up a tent in front of the room of trials and challenged him whenever I had the chance.

A few days passed, and Eunice and Raelan finally arrived at the capital.

“Holy shit… .”

Those were the first words Eunice spoke after receiving the memories from me. Eunice opened her mouth once again with an expression of excitement, embarrassment, and dizziness.

“This is crazy… .”

“Is a strategist who reads the situation shaken to this extent? “Don’t be rude in front of your lord and come to your senses quickly.”

When Raelan, who was sitting next to her, joined in with a pathetic voice, Eunice snorted loudly and glared at Raelan.

“scene? You might be okay with receiving the memories first, but I just found out that the world I lived in was a fake made up of fiction? If I were in your shoes, I would have given you plenty of time to gather your thoughts. “Because it’s that shocking!”

Eunice said the last words emphatically and turned her head to me. Then he spoke in a sarcastic tone.

“I think I know what you mean when you say that everything I’ve ever known is a secret that makes me feel insignificant. “Because everything I knew is actually a trivial fake created by your imagination!”

At those words, I firmly shook my head.

“It’s a world created based on a novel I wrote, but that doesn’t mean the world is fake.”

Out of thin air, Eunice’s eyes met mine. She asked in a heavy voice, chewing her lip and glaring at me.

“… why?”

“Because I, the writer of the novel, think so. “This is a real world, different from fiction.”

Eunice lowered her gaze after hearing my answer. After watching Eunice who was looking at the table in silence for a while, I spoke in a quiet voice.

“That’s why I recruited you. “I think this world is real, and I want to somehow save it in a better way.”

Eunice slowly raised her head and rubbed her forehead with a deep sigh. From that look, I could tell that Eunice’s heart had relaxed.

“… Yes, I know you are serious about this world. Ha, whatever it is, I have no choice but to do my best to help. “Fake or whatever, I will cooperate with you to survive.”

There was some conflict, but Eunice eventually became my colleague. The world’s greatest strategists were on my side. Not long after receiving the call, Estelle and Bella also came to Raelan’s mansion in the capital.

“I guess you two have become a bit close?”

I said it without thinking because I was surprised that they came together, but Estelle and Bella immediately glared at each other fiercely, like they were dogs, then turned their heads and sat down a long distance away. And they both spoke to me almost simultaneously.

“Who could become friends with such a greedy pig?”

“Is there really a way to become friends with a kid whose greed is bigger than his height?”

Once again, cold gazes tangled in the air. Stuck in the middle, I blinked and looked at Raelan and Eunice alternately, then sighed and scratched my forehead.

The reason these two fought like this was because of an improved portal. Estelle wanted to extract as much benefit as possible from this transaction and modified the contract to her advantage, and after several negotiations, Bella eventually accepted the terms.

However, Estelle, who belatedly found out that the improved portal had been improved once more through my hands, learned that Bella had hurriedly ended the contract by hiding this fact and making her believe she had an advantage in the transaction.

Raelan, who checked the contract, explained that the contract ended up being 5:5 rather than fair because the two parties tried to benefit each other by undermining the other party. However, the two merchants who wanted to make the most profit were never satisfied with fairness.

Bella thought Estelle was a greedy kid who tried to rip off her fellow companions, and Estelle thought Bella was a sneaky pig who deceived her innocent self.

The fight between the two sparked sparks even in me, who was standing still. Estelle was very dissatisfied with me for going to Bella first to find out about the improved portal rather than to her.

I, who was in the middle, had the most difficult time because of Estelle, who expressed her anger by being banned from entering Modest and throwing three daggers at his head, and Bella, who came to the club room with her guard every day and poured out her anger about Estelle’s actions.

Whatever it was, it was the first time that the colleagues who would save the world had gathered in one place. I stood up and clapped my hands at the two people who were still having a bloody snowball fight.

match-!

With a sigh, Estelle and Bella stopped their snowball fight and focused on me. Feeling the eyes of everyone in the living room focused on me, I cleared my throat and spoke.

“Finally, the colleagues who came together to save the world have gathered together. “Nice to meet you all.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Raelan asked.

“So, what are your future plans?”

Everyone seemed to be curious, as their curious gaze fell on my face. I explained what I was thinking.

“First of all, everyone knows that I plan to quietly increase the power of the force without touching any major trends for a year.”

I took out the continental map I had prepared in advance from the space warehouse. When I unfolded the map on the table, the magic of the map activated and the terrain and cities appeared in detail on the map.

“I changed my mind.”

I pointed to the western side of the map, a colorful city filled with fireworks and balloons.

“Six months later, when second year summer vacation began. “We will attack this place.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the map. Raelan spoke in a low voice with a deep smile.

“Ludwig, the city of pleasures.”

It was Roel’s target, a city ruled by the immortal Roman.
