Chapter 496

there have been three fortunate events.

First thing first. Aila was successfully saved. Although it was a long way away, I still returned to Whitlin territory in time to stop Aela before anything serious happened.

And second.

-Snap…!

tub.

Not just a bathtub, but a very spacious and nice bathtub.

The city of elves also had a VIP room with a nice bathtub. Of course, I knew this from the last time I visited this place, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t feel a new sense of happiness.

‘Kyrie.’

‘Yes, my prince.’

‘I was supposed to teach you swordsmanship, but I’ll show you today.’

After last night, when I ran to the Whitlin territory and rescued Aela, I saw Hina fainting and the world collapsing, didn’t I? He held it in for a long time and returned to the forest near Siegfried Territory, where he tyrannized Danu. After that, I got caught in the rain while trying to get Plants, and after that I met Danu again.

After completing the deal with Danu, he took his entire party back to the city of elves and met Grand Elder Narzan. Negotiated.

‘Are you talking about swordsmanship?’

‘huh. Instead, I’m a little tired now, so I’ll take a quick bath and then later at night.’

Having accomplished so many tasks, no matter how energetic Kalyan is, there is nothing he can do about it. I have no choice but to become exhausted. That’s why I was glad I had a bathtub.

And one more thing. Third and last.

‘No, prince. Rest. I am okay.’

‘I’ll take a look. I never taught you properly after becoming an Auror. If you go back to Whitlin or go straight to your brother’s territory, I won’t be able to tell you again if I get busy. ‘You should watch it when you have time.’

‘Prince, you need to rest more. it’s okay.’

‘I’m hungry Kirie. I’m very hungry. ‘A lot.’

‘That… there’s nothing I can help you with.’

‘Nothing.’

‘yes. doesn’t exist.’

‘I won’t be able to sleep anyway, so if you can’t help me, then I’ll just stay hungry without doing anything. ‘Keep going on and on.’

‘…… yes.’

‘Overnight. Until I eat beef jerky tomorrow morning.’

‘Yes… it will.’

‘therefore. ‘I’ll take a look at your sword skills.’

‘…… All right.’

‘huh.’

It’s a good thing Plantz has beef jerky.

If it weren’t for that, I would have secretly gone out into the forest and caught a wild chicken, roasted it, and eaten it. Now that I knew it existed, I was able to patiently wait patiently until morning.

If I hadn’t waited, it would have been clear that Hina would have scolded me again. So anyway, there’s beef jerky so I’m

like, “Come out.”

Plantz has beef jerky.

Fortunately….

“Right away.”

is not it.

Isn’t it a good thing that I came with beef jerky, meat, and my older brother, that pale guy? Because I ended up running around with that guy who doesn’t know manners, patience, or even his younger brother’s precious personal life, I couldn’t enjoy this nice bath time again, and I couldn’t take care of my own time, and I ended up doing what that guy told me to do again. .

“yes.”

Did it happen that he quietly left while taking a bath?

“I’m going out…….”

I think I need to edit the last of the three fortunate things that happened today. It was not fortunate that Plantz had beef jerky. That wasn’t an unfortunate thing at all.

That’s not it.

“My brother arbitrarily set the price of my life.”

I’m glad we negotiated with beef jerky first.

Otherwise, something really big would have happened.

If I had decided on the price of Plantz’s life before the topic of beef jerky came up, I would not have even been able to see beef jerky tomorrow morning or during the day. Until I was able to get Danu’s branches, roots, or anything else, I almost ate only the grass that the elves gave me. Or really eat the chicken.

“Was it too little to pay for your life?”

So, I’m glad I found out about the beef jerky first before negotiating over the price of Plantz’s life. Calian smiled, feeling a sense of relief that he had never experienced before in his life.

Either that or not.

Plantz quickly changed his clothes, dried his hair, and came out of the living room with a very blank expression on his face. He looked at his younger brother, who was sitting across from him, and his eyes narrowed.

“No. Shouldn’t you have discussed it with me?”

“Are you talking about how much you will receive in return for your life?”

“okay.”

“It is said that Siona is trying to stop Zeon, but in the end, it is because of my brother and I that he came to Whitlin and even broke the sword. Thanks to Siona, all the Vulcan members and servants in the villa are alive and well. That is a lot of compensation. “I thought I could do it.”

“Even if we don’t have to go through Danu, we can compensate in other ways.”

“Either buy me some mithril or get me that heavy iron found near the Cispanian’s nest.”

“okay.”

Calian, who had expected Plantz to question him like this at some point, nodded.

“So, what are you going to ask Danu for in return for your brother’s life that you saved?”

Then, he quietly leaned back against the backrest of the sofa and opened his mouth.

“If I were to ask for the land of the great desert facing the sea, this is Arnaizel’s territory anyway, and to ask for permission to use the forest path, not only would there already be a moving magic circle, but I didn’t feel like putting in the same conditions as Zeon’s guys, Kai. “The crop yields are already too good to ask us to pay more attention to Reese’s farming… Isn’t there something else that’s worthy of it?”

When Danu is asked to give something, he is told that there is no suitable compensation.

I didn’t know that fact, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t ignore it, so I came to Kalian. Therefore, when Plantz demanded new compensation, he opened his mouth to speak.

But Calian’s words were heard first.

“Or perhaps you don’t like me setting the price for your life?”

“no.”

“If you don’t like it, just stay.”

Calian paused for a moment, then a low voice continued.

“Give up the idea of trading your ‘past’ memories for your life.”

Plantz’s eyes frowned once more.

I wonder if that little brother is even on top of his head.

“Is that what you came to talk about?”

okay.

right.

I will tolerate this incident, so please tell me what happened in the past. Plantz was planning to make such a request to Danu. Please let me know the events of that life like Chase and Louise did.

The corners of Calian’s bright red mouth rose up, having completely blocked Plantz’s ambitious plan by first mentioning Siona’s sword.

“Anyway, my brother is so intuitive.”

This is how they say that thinking is simple.

“Bark.”

“I’m hungry. I should at least bark.”

“You bark even when you’re full.”

“Because I’m full. Let me digest it.”

When I say barking, the sound of barking continues.

Thanks to this, Calian laughed as if he was spitting out wind as he saw the corners of Planz’s eyes frowning heavily. Then he reached out and lifted the glass in front of him, which contained the water he had already drunk until his stomach was full all day.

Pure white hands without any visible scars.

Plantz, who was quietly watching the hand, moved his lips.

“Are you afraid that I will find it difficult to actually see what your brother told me about?”

“Do you think I don’t know how much your brother has changed? I know that even if I were to stop him in front of the castle gate right now, he would watch over everything. How did I raise him…” “Then what is it?

”

The question came back as if to urgently interrupt Calian.

Calian, who was about to laugh, looked at Plantz.

I can feel Calian’s magic moving along with him.

When I looked around, a silent film had been created. I wonder if anyone will hear the story here. Since Danu could not penetrate the magic, he must have blocked it.

Soon Calian’s voice was heard.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It’s not because you don’t trust me. Or because you’re too smart.”

The light green life that had been raised with so much effort, and it was impossible to guess how much it would grow in the future, looked at Calian. Even with that good brain, I couldn’t understand what Calian meant.

“What do you mean?”

“I must turn back the axis of time. It was written like that in the first and last letter I sent you. At the time, I only read those words as a dog barking.”

“…… so.”

“He must have had an idea. Whatever. He probably didn’t come without a plan. There was a teacher, too, so there must have been a reason why he couldn’t hold his hand and come to the Secretia palace right away. There must have been a reason, but he thought it was urgent. So he must have brought all of Balkan to visit him. Sending such bullshit letters. But.”

Sweet.

Calian put down the transparent glass of water and looked at Plantz again.

“… I guess it wasn’t bullshit.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Now I know. Now I know that you’re not crazy. I really don’t think you’re a crazy bastard who would attack someone else’s country after saying something like that. So, I’ve been thinking about it.”

Click again.

Calian lifted the glass of water he had just put down and opened his mouth while holding it in his hand.

A low sigh-like voice continues.

“I wonder if you turned back time to save me or simply to start your life over again. I’ve thought about it, but I don’t think so.”

Calian’s eyes stared at Planz.

“The older brother I saw back then wasn’t the kind of guy who wanted to live properly again.”

“…… maybe.”

I would have given up.

No matter what I did, I would have lived a life where everything was wrong in the end, so I would have given up on everything in the end, unable to hold anything in my hands. I wouldn’t have been the type to start a war to turn my life back around, but even if my personality were different from now, I would have been so exhausted that I couldn’t even make the decision to turn everything back to square one.

So much so that I can’t make up my mind to go back and live again.

“That said, he didn’t look like someone who wanted to give up everything and say let’s end the world.”

Anyway, why do I have such a big heart?

I’m trying to understand this guy and that guy.

Calian muttered as if he were lamenting and shook his water glass as if he were holding a drinking glass. And then he opened his mouth.

“Nothing happened in Secretia before the sudden invasion from Kairis. The Sejaks also didn’t bring any other strange news. So, what did you see on your own? Perhaps you were dreaming at that time. “Maybe he thought I had the same dream. Maybe that’s why he said only such a short word. But I’ve never had a dream, so maybe that’s why I didn’t recognize it.”

Memories of my first life.

Just like Chase and Louise now, Plants at that time probably dreamed of the memories of his first life. I guess I didn’t rush to send those words because I thought Bern at the time would understand what I was saying.

It seemed to mean that he thought so.

Therefore, Plantz opened his mouth to ask if the meaning was correct. But no words continued. No voice came out.

It was forbidden.

“Why are you covering your mouth again?”

Calian chuckled at that and shook his head.

In any case, it is a possibility.

It is unknown why the current Danu does not show any memories of his first life. If Bern really moved the axis of time in the first life, it is also unclear why Danu only blames Plantz and does not say such things to Calian.

It may be that they cannot tell you, or they may not know. In any case, since Danu’s current abilities are not complete, it is impossible to say that all of Danu’s memories are accurate.

“So, I was going to ask you too. What happened to my brother in his last life? By the way.”

Jangle jangle.

Calian said as he looked down into the shaking and sinking glass of water.

“If it wasn’t a dream. If it was just that my brother was really smart. That’s what I’m thinking again.”

“Are you saying I may have just figured it out on my own?”

“Yes. Isn’t this the head that digs into every strange thing?”

“But why can’t I ask Danu?”

“When I met Rashid Briesen.”

Calian raised his head.

With a face that had lost all smiles, he glanced at Planz, then lowered his gaze back to his glass and continued speaking.

“When I first met Rashid Brissen. What happened between you and Silike and Rashid Brissen. Brother, can you tell me that story?”

“…… there is.”

“Then, while I’m talking about that, I smell the scent again. When I smell the scent, I think of the days I smelled that scent. When I think about it, the things I experienced that day come to mind again. It all multiplies at once. You’re so smart.”

“It’s been like this forever. I said I was used to it.”

“One more head like that is coming in.”

Plantz’s eyes narrowed.

“Brother, do you know what kind of calculations you made when you came here? Didn’t you put all of the 50,000 assumptions, number of cases, and variables into your head and then judge the number of cases to come up with the most ideal answer?”

“…… that’s right.”

“Then at that time, I don’t think you did that.”

The most basic problem.

Therefore, Kalian continued, who pointed out a problem that Plantz himself would not have thought of.

“It is obvious that the smart mind of now will go about its own way to go through all the new memories, classify them, judge them, find the problem, and figure out a solution. With that smart mind, it figures out that something is wrong, calculates it, and eventually runs out of time. “It means that one more memory of ‘Planz Lu Run Kairis’, which led me to the conclusion that it must be returned, is included.”

Sweet.

Calian put the endlessly shaking glass of water back on the table, and his red eyes turned to the green color that had not yet fully grown.

“Brother, can you handle that?”

asked. And I watched quietly.

As if giving you time to calculate with your smart mind while keeping your mouth shut. As if giving you room to imagine. As if waiting for an answer.

“doesn’t exist.”

The answer comes.

I’m glad that I’m not stubborn or overconfident.

Calian smiled slightly and nodded.

“I’m saying this because I’m worried. It’s not that I don’t trust you.”

“know.”

“I don’t think you’re a burden just because you don’t know such things.”

“I don’t either.”

“yes.”

I’m glad you don’t think I’m a burden.

It’s not a burden, but I’d like you to know that sometimes you have accidents that are incredibly shocking.

Well anyway.

“I’m not saying you shouldn’t use that good mind to calculate and predict the future. However, I’m saying this because I think you shouldn’t be hasty in finding out about your older brother at that time. I’m trying to prevent your thoughts from spreading without your knowledge. “Once you figure out how to control it so that you only have to think about that one thing when you think of it, it’s never too late to think about it then.”

“If it’s late.”

“I’m stopping it.”

“…… okay.”

“You don’t need to know even a single memory of the past. I can prevent it all.”

“huh.”

“yes.”

Anyway, how gentle it is.

I listen very well to what is said.

Calian smiled slightly and stood up.

“Let’s go out.”

“where.”

“I decided to watch Kirie’s swordsmanship.”

“Brother.”

At these words, Calian made a slightly surprised face and opened his mouth.

“Brother, do you know how to take care of Brother Randel now? Have you become so close before you know it? Is it no longer necessary for me to take your side since you two got into a fight?”

“……When did you listen to me?”

“Anytime you feel like it.”

Plantz let out a short sigh and walked out without any further reply.

“We should take Brother Randel too. I know someone will be here.”

Calian said as he followed Planz.

Plantz nodded briefly and changed direction. It was not toward the outside, but toward the room where Randel would be.

“He might be sleeping. Would you like him to wake you up? Since we’ve become so close.”

“Bark.”

“I like it. I heard you became friends.”

“no.”

Smile.

I can’t believe I’m seeing the day when Plantz, who didn’t care what happens to Randel, comes forward and talks about Randel. I’m really good at farming.

Calian, with a truly happy expression on his face, took a step forward.

And then I knocked lightly on Randel’s room door.

– smart.

There was no answer.

“Are you taking a bath?”

Calian muttered for a moment before putting his hand on the door again.

– Jump up!

And instead of going through the trouble of knocking twice, I just opened the door to that room.

“Wait a minute, Kalyan.”

Plantz, who broke the window of a resident on the 5th floor and entered my brother’s room on the 3rd floor without hesitation, tried to stop Calian.

However, he could not say anything more and slowly closed his mouth.

“Ah. I came to the prince’s room here to avoid running into you, but I got caught.”

Lively voice.

“Anyway. Hello?”

This is because I heard a greeting from a lively voice.

Of course it wasn’t Randel.

Therefore, a light of relief appeared in Calian’s eyes as he hurriedly looked around the room.

Not only Randel but also Kirie, who Kalian had asked to escort Randel while he was taking a bath, were all completely in the room. However, Kirie looked very nervous and Randel looked ridiculously carefree.

Calian turned his head again.

He gave an answer to the greeting sent to him.

“Sounds like hello.”

The white-haired archmage who was sitting across from Randel turned his head and said hello.

“Adelia.”

Toward Adelia.

“I said I was sorry about that. I said I would help you?”

“Then bring him back right now, Rashid Brissen.”

“No. You didn’t say you would help me right away.”

I thought so.

Calian smiled.

A smile like a red rose under the sunlight blooms on beautiful lips.

There was no trace of nervousness on Calian’s face as he faced the archmage.

He didn’t even go out of his way to kill Adelia, whom he met again earlier than expected. He didn’t even utter a curse word about what he had lost right before he killed Rashid Briesen. They did not block Plantz’s path, nor did they put a shield in front of Randel.

– Demirea.

– ……Why are you calling me again?

– Please, Master.

– yes.

Instead, I called my dad.

“Wait a minute! Don’t call me. Don’t call me Alan Manasil.”

Adelia, who saw the light coming from Calian’s bracelet, spoke quickly.

Calian raised his head.

Then I heard the words of Adelia, who looked very sad.

“Why on earth are you so impatient?”

“Then can I bear to see you again?”

“So you’re calling Alan Manasil right away?”

“Otherwise, how would I kill you?”

“Why are you killing me?”

“Then you won’t kill me?”

“Why do you always speak like that?”

“You’re just saying it nicely, aren’t you?”

– Did you find it?

Alan’s voice, which I had longed to hear, was heard.

Adelia, who saw Calian’s bracelet shining again, quickly spoke.

“Don’t call me. If you call me, I will run away right away. I will just leave without telling you where Rashid Briesen is.”

Calian narrowed his eyes.

– What’s going on?

– There is… but wait a moment, Master.

Calian, who had postponed calling Alan for now, opened his mouth.

“where.”

“Fabian.”

The answer has been delivered.

Randel’s territory Fabian.

Rashid Briesen is there.
