The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 353



354 – Northern Plan

It was easy to convey the memory to the Fraks and explain our plan. Because it had already been repeated several times. After a long explanation, Illud spoke.

“It was with your help that Ilya obtained Fenrir.”

Come to think of it, Illya got Fenrir. The reason I got it a year earlier than expected was because I deliberately sold information about Fenrir to Modest. Although she thought it was a double duty at the time, it seems that being of great help to her daughter earned her good marks with her father.

At Illade’s words, Illade hit my arm with her elbow and narrowed one eye.

“I knew from what happened at the lighthouse that you were an unusual guy, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent. “Since you created this world, aren’t you no better than a god?”

Seeing Ilade look happy, I was able to smile at ease.

“It’s a copy, though. “There is also a separate entity called God.”

“Hehe, that’s right. Still, isn’t it true that the Praks family has been receiving a lot of help from you without even knowing it? Well, now that you know, you have to pay off your debt. “Helping you also helps save the world.”

After saying that, Ilaid turned his head and said to Ilaid.

“Rather than an unloving granddaughter who doesn’t show her face even though it’s vacation, I think we need a gift to give to our poor lord right now.”

As if he understood what I meant, Illud answered right away.

“I’ll tell you to get the elixir from the warehouse.”

When I looked surprised at Illade’s answer, he hit my forearm with his elbow again. I knew it was a sign of friendliness, but it hurt like a bruise on his forearm.

“Why are we so surprised? The highest family in the North is Praks. “You should keep some elixir in the warehouse.”

“… Thank you. I needed the elixir.”

I didn’t even expect them to give me the elixir so casually, so I thanked them with a bewildered expression on my face. Ilade waved his hand roughly and said as if it was no big deal.

“I know. “Even if you have the knowledge to reach the realm of the transcendent right now in your head, you will be nervous because your body cannot keep up and you cannot fully absorb everything.”

Ilade’s words were correct. Not only was I unable to keep up with the magic power, but I was also unable to keep up with Ross’ body, which had reached the realm of the transcendental with the spear. The efforts so far have not been lacking. There was just a big difference in natural ability.

What you gain from the quantum jump is the experience and knowledge that fills your brain, not the growth of your body. An elixir was needed to fill that deficiency.

“Don’t fret. According to your calculations, there is still plenty of time left to grow. “As a senior transcendent, I believe that within half a year, even without the help of elixirs, you will be able to make the knowledge gained through the quantum jump completely yours.”

Saying that, Ilaide added in a low voice as if muttering.

“But the elixir is the best. It’s not for nothing that everyone is talking about money. “If you get the chance, eat as much as you can.”

I smiled and nodded at Ilade’s antics. Illud, who was watching the conversation, said.

“If there is anything you want in particular, I will give it to you generously. “Feel free to speak at any time.”

I responded that I was grateful to Illud. The elixir alone was enough for now.

My initial goal was to accept the Praks family as colleagues, so this is satisfactory enough. If so, it’s time to get back to the main topic.

“How do you plan to invest in the magic stone bomb?”

Illud answered my question by touching his chin.

“How about creating an alchemy workshop in the north that can produce magic stone bombs in large quantities? “You should be able to create a decent workshop within a week.”

No sooner had Illud finished speaking than Raelan, who had been silent until now, intervened.

“I think it would be better to manufacture the magic stone bomb in the capital’s workshop and ship the finished product to the north.”

When Raelan became a colleague, Raelan’s respect naturally lowered. Illud doesn’t seem to be particularly concerned about that either.

Still, I felt comfortable being treated with respect. There is an age difference, and even though I am their master, they are stronger than me.

“Is there a need to make it in the capital? Even if you use the portal, the time it takes for delivery cannot be ignored. “If we open a workshop in the north, supply will be easier.”

Raelan slightly tilted his head at Illud’s words and twitched one corner of his mouth as he looked at me. She felt like Raelan was sending her a signal to her.

As Illud said, creating a workshop in the northern part not only saves time, but also guarantees safety. There was no way Raelan didn’t know that fact. But why did he insist on building it in the capital? After contemplating for a moment to understand Raelan’s intentions, I soon realized what he meant.

Raelan planned to keep the recipe for making the magic stone bomb a secret.

Kane is a student, so if the alchemy workshop is in the north, he will inevitably have to share the mixing method. However, if there is a workshop in the capital, there is no need to share the mixing method.

Considering the value of the Magic Stone Bomb, protection of the Mixture was a given, but Fraxx is now a comrade who wants to save the world with us. Does he really need to be kept in check?

At that moment, the setting of the character Raelan and the conversation we had so far came to mind. I think I know what Raelan is aiming for. Is that so? If Raelan is watching, I, who lead everyone, cannot back down.

“I agree with Raelan.”

Illud asked with interest in what I said.

“Is there a good reason? “This is why it is necessary to create a workshop in the capital.”

I can’t lose trust with Prax, who has just become my colleague, by telling him the truth. So, it is time to take advantage of my enemies.

“I have no intention of forcing my colleagues to sacrifice themselves in the noble journey of saving the world. Of course, I plan to bring great benefits to the united North.”

Illade asked, exchanging glances with Illade with an expression of interest.

“What is the benefit?”

“Just as we promised in the east, we will install an improved portal in the north and create several additional portal stations direct to the capital.”

The northern part of the continent had the fewest portals. Once the improved portal is commercialized, inconvenient transportation in the northern part of the country will be resolved.

“We will invest the most in improved portals in the north. An improved portal that can be installed on any terrain without environmental restrictions would be a great help in defending the wall. “As there are more portals, life in the North will become several times better than it is now.”

What the North needs most right now is a portal rather than a magic stone bomb. Even without the magic stone bomb, the North had enough soldiers and knights to block the wall, and there were many highly skilled people. The point is that substitute products exist.

But the portal was different. The portal was strictly managed by the imperial family, and there was no replacement. The northern part of the continent has the fewest portals. When the continent was unified, it was the north that resisted the most fiercely, and realizing how strong their unity was, the imperial family deliberately set a policy of minimizing the number of portals in order to check the power of the north.

Therefore, the problem that has been the problem for the North for the longest time has become the portal. The north is famous for having less convenient transportation than other places. A portal that allows free movement from city to city in a place where a blizzard may strike at any time can save the lives of Northerners, save the city, and literally unite the entire North.

As if my prediction was correct, Ilaide, the previous head of the Prax family, was truly happy that her long-standing concerns had been resolved.

“Yes, the lack of portal stations was a big problem for the development of the North. Villages away from the city are gradually disappearing due to inconvenient transportation. “If you can solve that, it will be of great help to the North.”

Unlike Illade, Illade did not seem to be easily swayed by the sweet temptation of an improved portal. With his eyes not forgetting the main point, I naturally started talking next.

“That’s why we don’t set up workshops directly in the north. We plan to keep the matter of the magic stone bomb a complete secret between us. “I have no intention of disclosing it elsewhere.”

“… Are you saying we should only use the magic stone bomb in the northern part of the country?”

“For now. If we keep the magic stone secret, no one will look suspiciously at recruiting troops to protect the wall.”

Illud asked me with a strange look.

“Is there a reason you want to gather troops? “The magic stone bomb alone would be enough to protect the wall.”

“If there are more portals in the north, we can quickly send reinforcements if a problem arises in the east. In the future, if the North and East join forces to stop the demons coming from the eastern border, Roel will be able to buy time to persuade the Demon King with minimal damage. “I think it’s a good idea to start preparing now for that time.”

Illud clapped his hands in admiration.

“That’s amazing. “I can’t believe you were thinking about it that far.”

This is, as Bella said, a plan with multiple results.

“Obviously, those who realize the value of the magic stone bomb will aim for the mixing method. “With the protection of the world’s greatest intelligence guild, Modest, we will be able to safely protect the magic stone bomb mixture.”

Illud, who knew the value of the magic stone bomb, nodded as if he understood.

“I’m sure it will be safe. “Then how do you plan on delivering it?”

“With the help of Modest, I plan to set up a secret workshop in the capital and send the magic stone bombs I made there directly to the Praks family. “In addition, the problem of time could be solved by installing several improved portals to the wall in the Praks family.”

When there were no more issues to raise, Illud also nodded. He vaguely sensed that he had other intentions, but since he was already a friend, he chose something that would actually benefit the North rather than fight for the location of the alchemy workshop.

Of course, I also said that because I expected that Illustrator would make a choice that would benefit the North, based on the way he looked before he gained his memories.

I said with a satisfied smile that things had worked out the way I wanted.

“I have left everything regarding the contract to Estelle, so please take this opportunity to stop by Modest and have a chat. “It will definitely be a good help for other things as well.”

“Good. I also wanted to have a conversation in person. Modest sold us information about spirits at a very high price. “And that too several times.”

I looked away and pretended not to see Illud’s ugly smile.
