The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 381
382 – The sincerity conveyed
Lumiel looked at Roel. Meeting her gaze, Roel predicted her next move. She either refuses to forgive and attacks those who put her beloved city in danger, or she calmly weighs the losses like a merchant and gives the Holy Grail in consideration of the value of El Dorado.
But Roel’s prediction was wrong. Lumiel leaned her face over her arm across the sofa, showing no anger or embarrassment, just looking at Roel with her usual bored, brooding eyes.
Roel had no choice but to doubt his memories due to the unexpected reaction. The ‘Lumi El’ he knew was basically lazy, but he had a tendency to be obsessed with the traces of his lover, to the point where he fought the Demon King to protect El Dorado.
So, Parvati used El Dorado as a bargaining chip. If it was the Lumiel that Roel knew, he expected that she would definitely hand over the Holy Grail due to her affection for El Dorado.
Lumiel, who was looking up at Roel with his head cocked at an angle, smiled slightly.
“It’s a good threat.”
While saying that, Lumiel gestured towards the corner of the room. When Roel, who was puzzled, followed the gesture and turned his gaze, a huge mirror attached to the wall caught his eye.
“If there wasn’t a customer who came first.”
With those words, the mirror opened like a door. The person who crossed the passage and entered the room was someone Roel was also familiar with. Roel’s strong ally and wise advisor who always chose the right thing. A person who always fulfills his or her role determined by fate in the whirlpool of fate.
It was the wise man Nelson, the principal of Transcendence Academy, the archmage, and Ellie’s teacher.
“Principal Nelson… “How come here?”
“I thought you would be here.”
Nelson approached Roel with a gentle smile. When Roel, embarrassed, hesitated and tried to get up from her seat, Nelson put his hand on her shoulder to stop Roel from standing up and sat between Roel and Lumiel.
“By the way, Parvati has already been saved.”
Roel’s brow furrowed at Nelson’s usual voice. Nelson’s intervention was completely unexpected. Roel sighed, lowered his gaze to the floor, and asked.
“Are you going to disturb me?”
“Then, with all your might.”
A strange current flowed between the two. However, unlike Roel, who showed caution, Nelson simply stroked his well-maintained beard calmly. Roel, who hesitated for a moment before speaking, asked carefully.
“… “Why?”
“Because I know your choice was wrong. “The principal of the academy can’t just sit back and watch students go down the wrong path.”
Roel suddenly lifted his lowered head, as if flinching after being pricked by a needle. Roel glared at Nelson with eyes filled with terrifying emotion. So much so that Lumiel, who had been lazily watching the conversation, reacted slightly.
Roel, who stared at me in silence for a while, asked.
“… “Are you saying I was wrong?”
Instead of answering Roel’s question, Nelson asked with a gentle smile and a friendly voice.
“What did you plan on making when you get the Holy Grail?”
“… .”
Roel did not answer. But even in that silence, the wise man found what he wanted. Nelson said to Roel, who had a lot of strength on his shoulders and was ready to swing the holy sword at any time.
“You are the main character who will lead the story to the end. “If you disappear, the story will never be finished.”
At those words, Roel reflexively chewed his lips.
“You, who are drawn to the saint’s prophecy, will never understand.”
In response to Roel’s rebuttal, Nelson slowly shook his head.
“This matter has nothing to do with the saint. “She doesn’t know your plans.”
“… “She doesn’t know if she’s a saint?”
Roel’s eyes widened slightly. Meanwhile, Nelson was always on the saint’s side. From the beginning, Nelson did as her saintly woman told her to do, and acted for her.
The saint used information from the future to move Nelson to help Ross and create several variables. So naturally, she thought that the reason Nelson was interfering with her plan was because of her saint’s orders.
However, Nelson spoke with a voice full of sincerity, as if it was not a lie.
“I came here entirely of my own will, and it is all for you.”
Roel couldn’t believe that. He was making excuses for interfering with his own plans. However, the Nelson that Roel had experienced so far had never deceived himself with a vain plan or a lie. Nelson said to Roel, who was hesitant about how to act.
“Can you explain how you predicted your actions?”
At Nelson’s suggestion, Roel wiped his face and asked in a heavy voice.
“… Was there really no intervention from the saint?”
Instead of answering, Nelson smiled kindly and took out a cane from his pocket. Then he waved his wand and performed magic. For a moment, it seemed as if the area around the sofa was in a huge water droplet. The transparent curtain slowly froze, creating a unique pattern.
A wave of magic was heard moving around the sofa. Soon, the unusual patterns around the curtain began to overlap and spiral translucently. The water droplets collapsed and the spiral pattern became one and radiated light.
A very small jewel-like sphere flew towards the tip of Nelson’s staff. Lumiel, who was lazily watching the magic, looked blankly at the small glowing sphere and said.
“This is… It’s impossible. How can all elements mix harmoniously without colliding? ?”
The magic Nelson used was impossible even with the dragon’s abilities. Even though that small sphere contained the colors of all elements, it did not emit black light, but rather a vivid light that illuminated everything.
A sphere without the chaos that inevitably comes as things become more complicated. It was a magic that contained the innate uniqueness of a special wizard.
“This magic… .”
There was only one person who knew how to manipulate all the elements. The uniqueness of Nelson’s magic left her mark so clearly that Roel could not deny it.
“It would be a magic that couldn’t be done without Ellie… .”
Muttering that, Roel looked blankly at Nelson. Ellie’s current level of magic is impossible to even attempt. But the timeline was not distorted. The fact that Nelson is still alive tells the story of the timeline.
Nelson smiled at Roel, who glared harshly at him as if asking for an explanation, and lightly waved his wand to make the sphere disappear. As the sphere emitting light disappeared, Lumiel, who had been staring blankly, let out a faint groan.
Nelson, who put his cane in his pocket, touched his beard and said.
“Once upon a time, I did a special experiment with the Adjuster. I wanted to test the hypothesis that another world exists. Our experiment was a success. “With the Adjuster and my magic, I was able to briefly open a passage to another world.”
Roel already knew the story Nelson was telling. He had been warned of the dangers several times by Nelson and his pacer in the past.
It was a story about a leaf brought from another world being brought in, and the world’s balance being shaken greatly, affecting the causality, and the leaves brought from another world were denied and turned into ashes.
Roel, who did not want to waste time telling a story he already knew, spoke first.
“… Are you talking about the leaf that has been denied the world?”
Nelson smiled at Roel’s words.
“Yes, originally I would have talked about leaves. But have you ever thought there was something strange about this story?”
In response to Nelson’s question, Roel momentarily tilted his head without realizing it. It was Roel who experienced the most, suffering the denial of the world and becoming ashes in exchange for transmitting memories. It was no wonder that the leaves turned to ashes due to the world’s negativity. The answer to the question came from Lumiel’s mouth.
“umbrage.”
Roel’s gaze rested on Lumiel for a moment and then returned to Nelson.
“That is correct. “The leaves are a contradiction.”
Roel frowned and thought. Is there some contradiction in the leaves? He thought for a while, but Roel could not find an answer. Roel swallowed his saliva and said.
“What kind of contradiction is this?”
“It’s about remembering the world’s injustice.”
“… !”
Roel flinched involuntarily at Nelson’s answer. If the world has been denied, it means that the existence of the leaves brought from another world will disappear. However, Nelson and the coordinator had memories of the leaf being denied by the world. That’s a contradiction. How can we remember something that has been denied its very existence?
“… “In reality, it wasn’t the leaves that were denied by the world, but something else.”
As he spoke, Roel realized something. The reason why Nelson was able to use the magic of Ellie, who became an archmage.
“Yes, because of the probability created by the world’s negativity, I thought it was a leaf for a while and forgot about it… In the end, with the power of the wise man, I was able to resist the world’s negativity and regain my memories.”
Nelson smiled with genuine joy.
“In another world, I taught my students well.”
There was only one being in many worlds who could do that. Roel, who already knew the outcome, prevented the same attempt from the beginning.
So, the first and last time Nelson met… She could only be the girl who poured out all her magical power to create a variable, splitting the sky of the world and disappearing.
“He handed over all his memories to me, even losing his own existence, to save his loved one. “To create the final swing and for you to win in the end.”
That person is,
It was Ellie from the first world.
