Chapter 1026 – What Is the Right Heart?
Click. Widely.
The door opened and closed.
Gold returned to his office.
The knight commanders who were waiting in the office. Refeld. Caesar. Orkotz stood up and stood at attention.
The atmosphere in Gold was serious these days, so there was a sense of tension.
Orkotz, who was not very close to Gold, was even stiff.
He looked at Refeld and Kaisir, then at Orkotz and his eyes stood out.
“Orroz…?”
“Gold-sama. Excuse me. That…”
He came to talk about the missing knights, but Gold’s face was so serious that he couldn’t bear to speak.
After a while. Gold made a very tired voice.
“Refeld. Kaisir. Orkotz. A little… Tired. Go away today.”
“Excuse me!”
“Let’s go back!”
“Yes!!”
Refeld and Kaisir, who knew that Gold had gone to meet Gald, looked at each other with puzzled eyes as they left, but they were not in the mood to ask questions right now.
After the knight commanders left the room. Gold trembled and trudged. Turbuck. He walked over to a chair and sat down as if collapsing.
In his head. The words Gald left earlier were swirling around.
Succession.
***
“Go.”
“Yes?”
Frostia-sama naturally pulled away from me and spoke with a relaxed face.
Huh? Go?
“Did something happen? Go and see.”
“But…”
It’s about putting yourself behind you. Aren’t you offended?
After seeing my face, Frostia-sama sneered and said,
“I get annoyed even if I’m with you, who has a heavy face. Come back.”
“…Thank you!”
How can you be so broad-minded!
I lowered my head and stood up, and Mullin spoke to Lady Frostia.
“On the subject of crying and shouting to bring that human back not too long ago…”
“Huh? Are you talking about a toy man?”
“I’m talking about you.”
“It can’t be. I never howl.”
“…”
I don’t say anything with the expression that there is really no such thing. Said Mullin, who turned her head.
“Even if you don’t know what it is, don’t try to do it on your own, but seek help in time.”
“Turn it off.”
“…”
Fast. Trying to ignore Mullin, who has a blood vessel mark on her head. It occurred to her that she could not go without doing anything to this cheeky nun who dared to instruct me.
I immediately thought of a provocation material.
“Come to think of it, Mullin. You have a very cute tone in your letters.”
Wood Deuk!!
“Kwaaaaak!”
Kicked her in the stomach.
It looks like her ribs are broken.
Mullin picked me up, who was rolling on the floor and moaning in pain, and threw me outside the church with a stomp.
For a while I had been languishing outside with a miserable heart.
After a while. Juseomjuseom I woke up hoo woo woo. He sighed deeply.
Good.
I’ve played enough. Shall we go
“Mr Lenea.”
Gying
The warp gate opens as if waiting for it to be called.
The grown-up Maud Renea was sitting at the table in the principal’s office across the warp, staring at me.
“Aren’t you doing too much outside of work?”
“Sorry.”
She stared straight into my face and whew. He sighed.
“I didn’t listen to your conversation out of respect for you. I don’t know what’s going on, but it looks like something very serious. Come on, look at me.”
“?”
I saw her as she told me to.
The next moment her eyes met.
Geeing!!
The warp gate opened.
“I’ve got you where you want to go.”
“…And.”
Did you know where I was going just by looking into your eyes?
There was nothing but admiration for the action beyond imagination.
“Call out my name when you want to come back. Then the warp gate to return to the academy will open.”
“…!!”
Ms. Lenea, who is cooperative with me without being angry. So invincible!!
“Sure. That, hmmmm.”
Mrs. Lenea suddenly cleared her throat and twisted her body around him.
“Everyone, please go… You.”
In the last gossip, you had a voice the size of a mosquito, and even though it was covered with magic, I heard it clearly.
“Yes. I’ll be back.”
Lenea-san, who pretended to be cool hiding her favorite tea, left me behind and went up to the warp gate.
Chow!!
The wavy feeling is momentary. I had arrived at the building where Julis, who had come the other day, was staying.
When I came out of the gate, I saw two strangers and Ulysse looking at me with extremely nervous faces.
“Why is that?”
“…D-You’re Dre-sama…!”
A male user whew. I breathed a sigh of relief.
“The warp gate doesn’t stop even with skills, and even if you try to break it, powerful mana spurts out so much that it’s hard to approach… I thought I was an assassin from the main store.”
Two high-ranking strangers couldn’t block the warp gate on a non-floating island.
It seems that Lenea-san has taken care of me in many ways for my safety.
“Hmm…”
The ninja woman groaned and thrust her sword into her bosom.
The guy who called me while looking away from the two of them. I found Julis.
Apparently, even when I appeared, the guy who was sitting in the chair looked at me and hid behind his post.
“Come out here before I kill you.”
“Ugh…!”
At my words, Julis quickly walked out.
Her face was full of humiliation and fear.
“Uh, come on… Come on… Come on…”
“…”
Did you really think I would hit you? I use respect without replying.
Her frightened voice was so good to me that I didn’t bother to correct it.
“Now. Then. Let’s talk.”
“…Before that… We have to get these guys out…”
The two strangers gave off a look of displeasure.
But I nodded.
“You two. I’m sorry, but please leave.”
The male stranger got rid of his displeasure at my words and quickly left, while the female ninja left her room, curiously glancing at her with her eyes.
I don’t know if this building beyond the room. Detected if there is a power related to eavesdropping in this area.
Even so, he was not relieved and invested his overflowing skill points in the soundproofing skill.
Ulysse, who was staring at what I was doing, cautiously opened her words as I finished her work and stood in front of her.
“I, I… De, I want to… Say…”
“If it was the heart family’s secret, I already knew it.”
Immediately after saying that. I said ‘steal’ just by the shape of my mouth.
Although he had taken all the necessary measures, it was with the intention of being careful nonetheless.
Julis opened her eyes in surprise and trembled.
How the hell did you know A face full of fear for me.
“…Well, that’s…”
“I’m curious. How did you learn the secret?”
Julis looked at me and said.
“The head of the family… Said… It wasn’t… Everything… It was…”
“…”
Seeing this bitch shudder and tremble, I try to flirt with her, but if she continues like this, she will leak me.
“Just use half words.”
“…”
“And I warn you. If you stutter from now on, I’ll hit you twice as much as you did last time.”
“I get it.”
A quick response to an urgent voice. I like it.
“The head of the household told me directly.”
“I’m even more curious after hearing it. Julis. What’s your relationship with Galde?”
Why did he tell Ulis directly a secret he couldn’t tell anyone?
A direct descendant of the Hart family. And a secret he hadn’t told even his terribly cherished son, Gold.
No way. Because Ulysse is Gold’s aide? Did he think he should have known in advance?
However, unlike the others, Ulysse did not join Heart by applying since he was young, but he knew that he had joined since he was quite old.
Of course, the knights who trained to become a member of Heart since childhood. Shall I tell you the truth that Argyll, who can be said to be Galdo’s exclusive knight, might know, just because he is his son’s aide?
I even thought that maybe Gald and Ulis were sexual partners. Even if this bitch is pretty, there’s no way Gald would feel sorry for a woman. He didn’t seem to have much sex drive.
Above all, there was no way that a man who was sensitive to the benefits would reveal a secret that would shake the foundation of the family just because he had slept with her a few times.
There’s a chance that Julis figured it out on her own… But in that case. Wouldn’t it just get rid of it because of Gald’s personality?
Ulyss raised three fingers as his thoughts raced.
“There are three reasons why the head of the household told me the secret. As I said before, I know about the succession. It is because I have strong trust from Gold-nim, and at the same time I have a strong armed force.”
“…?”
Aside from knowing about succession. Julis is strong…?
[He seems to be on the strong side among normal humans.]
[I guess so.]
At Malachia’s words, the disgrace affirmed in a dry voice.
“What’s strong about being defeated by Hanhap? I don’t know what kind of shameless words I’m saying. I’m evaluated as a strong person in my own way.”
“…”
It seems so.
Actually, when I first saw the power of ratio lease, wow, it was really strong. Didn’t you think
In other words. It’s a story that neither mice nor birds know, and it’s a difficult opponent to get rid of, and it’s likely to become noisy.
“Again. I also learned about the succession after working for the Heart family for several years. Since then, as Gold-sama’s aide, I’ve been a fairly large part of the family, so you can’t seem to get rid of me.”
“Question.”
I pointed her finger at her.
“How did you know about succession in the first place?”
“This is it.”
Ulith took out the ice sword from her bosom.
Stranger’s Sword.
It is a privilege that the stranger who hypnotized Julis’s mother to commit an affair in the past had.
“I don’t know why. As time passed and this sword acknowledged me as its owner, the former owner of this sword. That trashy stranger…!”
“Speak nicely.”
“…Memories of that stranger flowed into me.”
“…!”
Could something like that happen?
“Memories flow in only when the power of the perk is activated. Seeing that this doesn’t happen anymore, it seems that the memories have been absorbed…”
Ah.
Is the reason why Ulysse remains silver-haired, is he always activating the perk in case he doesn’t have any more memories left?
But how did that user know about succession in the first place?
Didn’t all users give up on the Teenage Family Quest, sticking out their tongues, saying they didn’t know how to proceed?
How did young Ulis and the guy who was killed by Ulys’s father and friends know that?
When asked about him, Julis’ answer was concise.
“It is history.”
“History?”
“Since a long time ago, strangers have challenged countless times to solve quests about teenage families, and among them there were many strong people who were not like the goofy guy I killed.”
In fact, in history, it is said that there were strangers who physically tampered with artifacts while arguing with the heads of teenage families.
Among them, there was a user who found out about ‘succession’ through a skill with a miraculous probability, and left it as a record, but it seems that he died before he could tell anyone.
“And the scum I killed was a prospecting stranger.”
The stranger whom Julis had killed had found the record.
After all, it is a record that countless strangers have sacrificed for over 10,000 years to find out.
Even so, it’s a plate that will eventually be forgotten. He knew about the succession, but he couldn’t dig into the ‘secret’ of the Hart family.
“So. What is that succession?”
“It’s literally. The source of the power of the Heart family. Recognized by the artifact and unique Ryunar, inheriting the true power and the name of a hero. At least the strangers of long ago knew that.”
Ulis paused for a moment, then sighed.
“Knowing the harshness of succession, I mustered up the courage to interview the head of the household and question him. Master. Do you intend to subject Gold-sama to such a harsh ordeal?”
And Gald is said to have told her the secret of her heart family without even asking where she had found out her succession.
At first glance, Gald’s actions would not make sense.
To reveal the secret the Hart family tried so hard to hide.
But I guess I can understand.
Gald was notoriously overbearing among his men.
Against such a person, taking the risk of losing his life if he did something wrong, Ulith set out to defend his precious son.
The first time Ulysse had just joined the Hart family. If the succession was messed up when the position and skills were not good, neither the mouse nor the bird would have died. According to Jules, around that time, her influence had grown considerably in the Hart family as well.
Secrets are both dangerous and sweet to share.
They have a sense of kinship just by hiding the same secret.
Gald chose to make Julis on the same side.
“Yes… Succession means becoming a full-fledged hero…”
Julis said that and looked at me.
“It looks like they’ve put a soundproofing spell on it, so would it be all right if I talk about something a little more explicit?”
“Yes. I left it there just in case.”
Just in case, I even used the god score ‘transcendence’ to raise my spirits.
Today. I wouldn’t know if it was at the level of Kaitsu, but even if I was the Demon King of True Purgatory, I couldn’t escape my feelings.
Of course, even at the level of Kitz, you have to stay as still as if you were dead so you don’t get caught.
“Before talking about succession, it seems necessary to explain. First of all, let’s explain the history. Descendants of the first generation. Before the two generations of natives entered the continent. I pretended to be these natives. The man who was the owner of the heart at the time wore the artifact.”
After that, he learned the native Ryu Nar from the natives he deliberately kept alive.
It is said that it took a considerable amount of time to figure out how to operate it with skills, etc.
And when I used the unique Ryunar, which was barely acquired, compared to the original. Artifact resonated.
“They met a hero.”
Invited hero.
Thunder in the clear sky.
While thinking of a hero with arms as thick as a log, Ulis continued.
“I don’t know how he did that… Surprisingly, the hero’s will was alive inside the artifact. He made the offer… Even though he knew his clan was half-destroyed.”
“Proposal…?”
“He said that if he defeated him, he would be recognized as the successor regardless of who he was.”
“!”
In other words. If he could succeed, he would not be a thief, but a real man who had received the recognition of the invitation.
“The hero’s purpose is only one. To preserve the military force for Fryunar, who will return one day.”
For that purpose, it didn’t matter if heirs were mere robbers.
Rather, it is said that he expressed his disappointment to his descendants, saying that he had lost to those with such weak power.
It’s a sensibility I don’t understand, but the culture is different. It could be.
Julis continued to explain.
Even after making some kind of deal with Brave, the direct descendants of the Hart family, who continued to suffer from inferiority complexes and insecurities, were delighted with the hero’s proposal. Since then, he has continued to challenge ‘succession’.
And, naturally, they all failed.
It is said that if you fail, it is fortunate, and there have been cases of permanent disability or even death.
Even. It wasn’t that they actually fought, it was just that they met face-to-face.
“No one said anything to complain about.”
Due to the contract, the content of the ordeal could not be disclosed, but those who took the test agreed that the content of the ordeal of succession itself was fair enough to be understood.
“So you said it was my fault then?” “…”
Julis was silent.
The last time I went to see Julis at Gold’s request. Ulysse had said that I was wrong now.
Was it because Gald, feeling pressured by my existence, tried to make Gold a dangerous successor?
When Ulysse was playing the sick, he knew that Galde, who knew her all, was annoyed with her and wanted to separate her. Maybe I was watching the situation while postponing her return?
I wasn’t really expecting an answer. Even Julis didn’t feel the need to talk about him now. She continued what she said earlier.
“The succession became the heart’s secret wish.”
Long time. Numerous direct descendants of the Hart family were born.
However, among them, let alone artifacts, those who could properly handle even the unique Ryunar were selected.
Nonetheless, there was no doubt that Heart was the blood of a real hero.
The artifact is a powerful attack if you learn the unique Ryunar even a little. That is, you can use basic functions.
Even the basic function was a tremendous power in the public perception, so no one could even guess about the secret of the heart.
However, the heads of the Heart always feared that they might be found out as name thieves, and that they would be accused of being fake.
They went through succession, eager to be recognized as heroes. The result is, of course, a series of failures.
Somewhere in the body of the family entering the test becomes an idiot, so the Heart family set a standard for those who take the test to avoid waste.
It is said that the standard was so strict that no one had inherited it for a long time.
And. Many years have passed.
“A strange thing happened.”
What is an anomaly?
“The Bocchan was born.”
Learn the unique Ryunar as polarity. Artifact reacted ‘by itself’. A real man who far exceeded the standards set by the Hart family.
Okay. Invited hero. The lumber that would become a hero recognized by Thunder and his own Ryunar was born.
“…!!”
I couldn’t help but understand.
Gold is. It is definitely a bowl of heroes.
Having met the descendants of real heroes, I, along with Mr. Euclid, admired that he was truly a hero’s lineage.
Even if he didn’t have Hart’s name, he is a man who would one day become great.
Gald’s eyes widened as he confirmed his son’s qualities.
He thought that he would be able to achieve Heart’s long-cherished wish in his generation, which he had not been able to achieve for a long time.
“And I was against it.”
No matter how great the gold was, 98% couldn’t let it go through a dangerous test.
Ulyss confronted Gald in his own way, and Gald respected her even though it was difficult for her because he knew all her secrets.
This bitch, who was nothing more than a mere idiot to me, was a real tycoon in the Hart family that even the head of the family had a hard time with, and was desperate to protect my younger brother.
“The head of the household also followed my will at first. Of course, someday he would have inherited it, but it must have been in the very distant future… But. Things have changed.”
Ulysse paused for a tempo before she spoke.
“A true descendant. The hero’s lineage remained.”
“…!!”
The natives who were kept alive to learn the unique Ryunar were not removed, but they disappeared naturally because they did not pass on the generations.
However, in fact, there were descendants who stayed and escaped.
Okay.
Madora’s ancestor.
“The first Pryunar bestowed his unique Ryunar to the heroes who followed him and set up a device.”
So that the glory of our comrades will last forever. Even if all the people who know the native Ryunar training method die, their bloodlines. If there is a direct lineage left… A certain ‘condition’ is fulfilled, so that the source and artifact of the unique Ryunar are naturally attributed to that person.
And a direct descendant of Madora appeared.
Coincidentally, she was also a genius who would one day become big.
No wonder Galde felt impatient when he realized that she was her successor, no matter how he knew it.
“What are the terms of attribution?”
“The condition is that, when judged by the beings ‘recognized’ by the unique Ryunar, the personality and strength of the remaining direct descendents must have reached the standard of a ‘hero’.”
At that time, it is said that all powers will naturally be transferred to Madora.
Okay. Do you mean you have to be aware?
Then, it explains why Madora’s ancestors have not taken away the heart’s own Ryunar for nearly 10,000 years.
Hearts are the villains who destroyed Thunder’s clan. It is clear that it is an enemy to be avoided from the viewpoint of the descendants.
Even if he wanted to bring back his own Ryunar, he would have to have a minimum background.
First of all, you have to encounter the Heart family to recapture the unique Ryunar, but if you encounter the Heart family, you have to prepare for death, so you must have secured a safe situation first.
And Madora was probably a unique genius among his direct lineage.
In recognition of her genius, it is possible that after she was admitted to Fryunar Academy, her ‘guardian’ decided that Madora could now go out into the world.
Galdo only noticed her existence after hearing Madora’s name, and at that time, she was already under the protection of Pryunar Academy, which was difficult even for him to touch.
And indeed. Heart is in danger of losing its unique Ryunar again.
“Because of her family lord’s personality, you wouldn’t have tried to kill her at her risk. You might have tried to cut down on her qualities so that she wouldn’t become a hero. Or, you might have felt impatient because your movements were suspicious, so you hastened her succession. It could be.”
Ignoring Julis’s resentment. I remembered that Madora was a little fat and that she had been placed in an environment where she was prone to her temptations.
Was that meant to undermine her qualities?
“Perhaps he tried to negotiate with the guardian of that Madora girl.”
“…”
Madora’s grandmother?
If it was Gald’s personality, he might have really visited her home.
I was convinced in many ways, and Julis continued.
“As long as it’s an urgent situation where you don’t know when the secret will be revealed. The family head is probably thinking of two options right now.”
One is to hasten succession.
And the other…
“Elimination of Madora Airaitetsu.”
***
Gold looked down at a note.
The note had an address written on it, and that address… Was where Madora was currently staying.
Gold got up and pressed the magic tool under the table.
It was soon connected to the waiting knight, and Gold said.
“…Prepare the wagon.”
