The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 349



350 – Talent Discovery

The meeting ended just like that. Since we had no other plans until the end of winter break, we decided to do our own thing until the next meeting. Even if it wasn’t this meeting, everyone was busy with their own work.

As soon as the meeting was over, Raelan stood up and went straight back to the north. Just like I did in the other world, he seemed busy trying to use Bella, who would become the emperor, to form a cooperative relationship with Prax.

I was about to go back to the academy when Bella grabbed my arm.

“Ross, I have something to tell you.”

Bella took me to a corner away from the table and asked cautiously, as if she wanted to talk separately.

“Do you know why I made Lamine attend the meeting?”

I thought about Bella’s question for a moment. And she nodded. If you were just putting a leash on a hunting dog like Ian, there was no reason to bring him to a secret meeting.

However, considering that Lamine, who did not receive any memories, was invited to participate in the meeting, it clearly means that there was another purpose. I felt like I roughly knew the reason.

“Do you plan to pass on my memories to Lamine?”

“Yes, I wanted to make Lamine truly help us.”

It looks like he wasn’t able to completely make Lamine his own person. When I think of the iron-blooded Renee I knew, even though she was the princess who would soon become emperor, she was not the kind of person who would easily fall for her persuasion.

To be honest, the idea of ​​recruiting Lamine as our colleague was a novel idea that I had never thought of. So I was very intrigued by Bella’s choice.

“All right.”

I calculated the remaining magical power and used a snow globe to create a memory that would allow me to roughly understand the flow so far. Lamine, who came to Bella’s side at Bella’s call, took a moment to breathe with a nervous look on her face, and placed her hand on the snow globe.

After receiving the memory, Lamine staggered for a moment as if feeling dizzy. Shaking her head to come to her senses, Lamine lifted her head and smiled at me.

“Thank you for sharing your memories. To be honest, I didn’t completely believe what the Crown Princess said. “I had this shameful suspicion that maybe he was leading our family into a trap.”

There was no way Bella, who had the ability to understand the true feelings of others, did not know that fact. So, she seems to have created a place to receive her memories so that she could erase Lamine’s doubts and help her sincerely.

“I’m sorry for causing unnecessary doubt. Now I can trust that you told me only the truth. “I will do my best to help you as promised.”

Seeing Lamine sincerely apologize, Bella just nodded with an expressionless expression. It’s not that I’m offended by Lamine’s suspicions. I just felt nothing and felt nothing.

Because he had a hardened heart, he didn’t feel pain from Lamine’s suspicions. Finding herself being suspected and hated by those around her was a daily occurrence for Bella.

I was worried about this for no reason, so I looked at Bella, but the person in question just gave me a look with an indifferent expression as if asking me what I was looking at. Before I could say anything, Lamine turned to me and said.

“Thank you, if you hadn’t saved my brother’s life…” “I really might have given in to temptation and gone to the church.”

I didn’t know how to answer, so I smiled bitterly.

“And I will take good care of Rakar.”

“Rather, I am receiving Rakar’s help.”

The sight of Lamine smiling happily at my answer made me think that Lakar had a good older sister.

When Lamine took a step back as if she had finished speaking, Bella, who had been silent, took a step closer to me as if she were next.

“What do you plan to do, saintess?”

I scratched my cheek for a moment at the unexpected question. It wasn’t a matter I could think about for long. I had already arbitrarily decided to end the tragic story of the saint.

“I will save it. “Somehow.”

“Then shouldn’t we move quickly?”

“Is there any reason to think so?”

“If breaking the seal on the holy sword means the death of a saint, then I thought Roel, who killed the Fairy King in order to grow faster, would target the saint next.”

It was a highly probable prediction. However, there was something that Bella was missing because she was not given detailed memories of her saint.

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“why?”

“There is a setting in which the saint can avoid Roel until the end if she wishes.”

Although he has the ability not to die at the hands of Roel, the self-sacrifice of giving up his own life to save the world… It was a setting that was included because it was thought to be a fitting end for a saint.

“Until the work of the Great Forest is completed, the saintess will not have the heart to die for Roel. Because she is faster than her scheduled death. So she doesn’t have to worry yet.”

“So, instead of killing the saint, they killed the fairy king, who was easy to find…? “I understand the order now.”

Bella nodded in understanding and tried to pass me by as if she had nothing more to say. I said, urgently blocking the way.

“Can I ask you a favor too?”

I was dumbfounded to see Bella frowning reflexively at the request.

“It’s not difficult.”

“… “What is it?”

“Can you give me one of the Imperial Palace Guardian Golems?”

“I can give you that much, but…” Oh, perhaps because of your knowledge of magic?”

Bella must have realized what she was saying as she raised her hand to cover her mouth with a surprised face.

“Yes, I plan to use my knowledge of magic to deal with the golem.”

The golden eyes that were looking at me sparkled at those words. Bella lowered her hand covering her mouth and spoke with a gentle smile.

“I will send you to the academy within today. “Like the improved portal, if you can efficiently improve the palace guardian golem, we promise you a big reward.”

It seems like he had high expectations for my knowledge of magic. Actually, I thought so too, so I asked for it. Now that I have realized the essence of magic through Quantum Jump, I will be able to develop the Imperial Palace Guardian Golem to be more efficient and powerful.

The moment I nodded and opened my mouth, a warm, soft hand covered my mouth. It was Estelle who quietly approached me and intervened between me and Bella.

Bella tilted her head crookedly as if asking what this was and looked at Estelle as if she were looking down on her intentionally, then raised one corner of her mouth and said.

“I deliberately moved to a corner to have a conversation alone, but you barged in without realizing what I meant… Am I short on learning or lacking in ideas? what do you think about it?”

When Bella suddenly raised her gaze and asked me for my opinion, I reflexively lowered my gaze. Estelle’s pure white head is clearly visible. Estelle lowered her hand that was covering my mouth and placed both hands on her side.

Then, as if she would not lose to Bella, Estelle raised her black cat masked face and spoke in a voice filled with charm that was not usually heard.

“Oh my, you didn’t know. I decided to handle all contracts related to Ross on his behalf… “To leave behind an agent and darkly try to secretly sign a contract, it’s just right to say that it’s dirty and shameful.”

sick. I want to ask why he hits my shin with his heel while talking.

It seemed like a sign of something, but I didn’t want to open my mouth to this fight.

“Isn’t the gloomy one a shy person who still wears a cat mask even after getting so old? why? Have you done a lot of dishonest things in front of your colleagues?”

“Oh my, a woman’s jealousy is really scary. I know of a number of dishonest deviances committed by the Crown Princess. It’s just that when I take off my mask, men only focus on my appearance. word. “I have no choice but to use it.”

“I mean, that’s really gloomy. “I still haven’t escaped the delusions of my childhood.”

“Yes, the sound of a pig grunt is impossible to interpret to the human ear. Gulp gulp―.”

While I was wondering how to get out of this hell, someone stabbed me in the back.

As I flinched and turned my head back, Eunice made a small gesture for me to follow her.

I was able to quietly escape the fight with Eunice’s help and expressed my sincere gratitude.

“… “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

I feel drained in an instant. Even without participating in the conversation.

“Well, it hasn’t been like that for a day or two. “It’s going to be like that for the next few hours.”

At that level, wouldn’t it just be a good fit? If we really hated each other, we wouldn’t fight like that. You tend to pass by by pretending not to know the other person.

“It wasn’t on purpose, but I heard the word ‘golem’ in my ear. Are you planning on working on golems?”

“Yes, I’m going to try using my knowledge of magic. Coincidentally, you can easily obtain the highest quality item called the Imperial Palace Guardian Golem by asking Bella. “I was wondering if there was a way to utilize my abilities to the fullest extent possible.”

Eunice’s eyes lit up at my answer. It’s as if he was waiting for my answer.

“I have something to tell you about the golem.”

“What is it?”

Eunice took out a notebook from the old bag she was carrying, quickly flipped through the pages, and showed me a certain page. There were golem-like things of various designs drawn there.

“Is this a golem too?”

When I asked that question as I turned the next page, Eunice nodded and said.

“If you have time, why not visit Arcadia Academy?”

Arcadia Academy was a northern academy that participated in triathlon. I remember it as a place where there were many soldiers-looking students wearing green uniforms.

“Why are you there?”

“The place on the continent where golem research is most actively conducted is Delot, the city where Arcadia Academy is located. “It’s a place that is so serious about golems that a competition to announce a new golem is held every year as a city festival.”

Eunice added with a smile as she tapped her notes.

“The sketches here are also the golems presented at Arcadia Academy this summer. “Thanks to the academy exchange event, I was able to participate for free.”

Come to think of it, Arcadia Academy was the last to enter the triathlon parade riding a golem.

Triathlon rules prohibited the use of golems, so although they were only used in parade ceremonies, the publicity effect for golems must have been clear. That scene remains vivid in my memory.

“I know that Transcendence Academy is a place where the best on the continent gather, but… .”

Eunice closed the notebook and spoke with a face full of anticipation.

“I’m sure you’ll be able to find hidden gems at Arcadia Academy.”
