Chapter 1031 – What Is the Right Heart?
“While blocking rumors for a while, I came to ask for help… It’s a pretty shocking story. Eight days. Why didn’t you tell me until now?”
There was a lot of regret in Kitz’s eyes looking at me.
So I hit her on the head.
“It’s disgusting. It sucks.”
“…”
Thump thump.
When the respected warrior was assaulted, I was afraid of Garcinido, who always approached me, so I hid behind an intangible, and the son of a bitch pushed me forward.
“You traitor bastard!”
“What.”
The giggling intangible is disgusting.
Anyway. Okay.
A warrior with a familiar face and a warrior party. And gold. One last unfamiliar old woman. Madora’s grandmother.
In this way, they gathered at Madora’s laboratory and had a meeting about the future.
I explained to them all the secrets of the Hart family and my quest.
My quest is to correct lies. In other words, it is to bring back the name of Thunder.
But on top of that, I have to prevent the Hart family’s extinction for my brother’s sake.
At least I want to keep my current status.
By the way, Mr. Euclid is not present as he left after receiving my secret request.
After thinking for a bit, Katz said.
“From my point of view, it is better for the Hart family to perish.”
I noticed Gold’s notice involuntarily, but he was calm.
“False blood will be destroyed and lies will be corrected. The main quest ‘Heart’… No. ‘Thunder’ clear… I think it’s okay. I guess I could ruin things by going back for nothing.”
“You truly have the wisdom of a warrior.”
This time, it was a very squeaky, old voice to put it bluntly.
Everyone looked at the owner of the voice.
It is Madora’s grandmother who is full of a sense of incongruity among the familiar members.
Note that. I brought
“It is right to root out the filthy traitors…”
As she said that, she glared at Gold fiercely.
The eyes are too harsh to be the eyes of an old woman with an appearance that seems to have lived the whole world.
“…”
Gold was silently looking down at the floor.
Then Kitz stepped out.
“I want to confirm. You are a teenage family. Are you a survivor of Thunder?”
“It is the lineage of the glorious ‘Totora’ who served as the chief’s attendant for generations.”
Totora is like a sworn brother in their Kur language.
In other words. This is the story of the lineage of Lee, who was the bloody brother of the clear sky, the first hero.
“I see. They said that dozens of our knights were subdued. It must have been strong.”
Gold alone quietly understood, and Madora’s grandmother glared at him.
“Shut up. You dirty thief.”
“…”
Gold shuts his mouth, and this time I warn him.
“Grandma. I won’t go so far as to tell you not to hate Gold, but please stop arguing with me. If you do that one more time…”
“It’s okay. If it’s your order, I’ll follow it. Heir.”
Grandma bowing her head to me as if it was like that.
It is said that he is concentrating on his research with his back turned away, but there is also a magician nearby, and this polite attitude is too burdensome.
How to say It feels like Gald.
Kitz, who had been listening to the story silently, asked the question again.
“I heard that you know the details of Thunder’s succession.”
“It is.”
In response to her immediate answer, everyone around her looked at Madora’s grandmother with interest.
“Question~”
Rae Band raised his hand.
“How does Grandma know about the succession?”
“I can’t help but know. It’s a mission given to the tribe by the great ancestor, the clear sky.”
Ten heroes. The mission given by the first Thunder.
I had already heard about it, but I did not stop talking because the eyes of others interested me.
Soon. Grandma changed her voice solemnly and spoke like a singer.
“The mission he gave us. We are certain to be able to help our friends. Cultivate strong warriors!!”
A light flooded from Madora’s grandmother’s eyes as she talked heartily.
Laband tilted his head.
“Friend… What is it?”
“It must be Prunar.”
Katz’s plaintive words were the correct answer.
In the first place The reason why he was extremely polite to me was because I found the ‘hidden book’ and recognized him as the successor of Prunar.
“The great ancestors wanted to preserve power for Fryunar, who would one day reappear in the world. That’s why he split his own mind in half and put it in an artifact to directly test the successor. But that noble meaning is… Tsk. “
Grandma who is looking for gold.
He just glared at Gold because of my warning, but couldn’t say anything.
Again, Raband tilted his head.
“Uhh… Does that mean that the first Fryunar will return someday…?”
“That’s up to interpretation. To be honest, even the Kurs couldn’t figure out what it meant. We accepted that it didn’t matter whether Fryunar returned or had a successor. The one who found the book he left behind Because it’s Pryunar. This is what the clear sky also said.”
At the end of my words, my grandmother looked at me, and after receiving everyone’s attention, I took out a book.
“Everything about succession is written in this book.”
“Yes. This is a book made in our tribe’s special way.”
Grandma made a proud face.
“This book, made of wood that has been blessed by nature and is different from spirits, is assimilated with nature and will never corrode. It will not burn or get wet.”
“Oh oh…!”
The scholar hyung showed curiosity with his eyes shining.
“A natural tribal special processing technique…!”
“I know you’re interested, but ask questions later. Scholar. Eight days then. Can you explain basically how succession works?”
Katz, who stopped the scholar-type, looked at me and said.
Judging by Grandma’s mood, it was obvious that the story would be long as she added all sorts of rhetoric about her ancestors during the explanation, so she asked me to explain.
I cleared my throat and opened my mouth.
“The premise is to be recognized by the hero.”
“Are you recognized?”
She nodded her head at Kaitsu’s question.
I’m explaining it to everyone, so let’s be respectful.
“A person who has possessed an artifact for a certain number of years and has mastered the unique Ryunar casts a special spell on the Artifact of the Heart family to infuse Ryunar into a virtual space and fights against the hero.”
“Wait. More than a certain number of years? How many specifically?”
“That’s a good question. Scholar.”
Pointing at him, I continued my explanation.
“Unique Ryunar is important, but how long you’ve had the artifact is key. At least 10 years. In fact, rather than carrying it, it’s okay to have it nearby.”
“Ten years…”
While Kitz muttered, Grandma added.
“The great ancestor, the clear sky, believed that only those with a strong sense of purpose could pass the ordeal.”
“I see. Ten years of training is the minimum condition.”
After 10 years of training with the unique Ryunar with the artifact, it is bound to become very powerful by general standards, and he must be a person full of motivation to succeed.
“But a hero’s recognition? Sounds like you don’t have to win?”
It was an intangible question this time, and I nodded again this time.
“It was written that only recognition was required. Although the exact criteria for recognition were not written.”
“Ha. It’s filthy ambiguous. I don’t know if you’re asking for more trouble than just winning.”
At the intangible words, the grandmother glared at him.
Katz said before the two of them got into trouble.
“The gap between the power of the hero who was directly suggested by Pryunar and his descendant must be wide.
“That’s not it, Kitz. The standard of recognition will be higher than you think.”
“Do you have any basis?”
“Of course not. Do you know what the incantation you must recite when entering the virtual space?”
Again, my gaze was focused on me, and I and Gold said at the same time.
“”I want descendants who will help my friends.””
A moment of silence passed.
“…Friend.”
“What a great camaraderie.”
These were the words of Homun, who had been silently listening with his arms folded behind him.
By the way, she is the youngest cardinal and a beautiful girl with neatly tied blonde hair that I haven’t seen in a long time. And she probably has one of Kitz’s girlfriends, but she just sat and listened, dark with her dead eyes.
Kitz this kid. No matter how worried she is, how much she neglects her child will make her like that…
I glared at the kitz, but he confidently ignored my gaze.
Raband was still tilting his head as if he still didn’t quite understand.
“If what the clear sky wanted was a descendant strong enough to help Fryunar… Shouldn’t it be at least the level of a demon king?”
“The current gold is the level of the demon king.”
If not up to 1 purgatory, it will be 2 purgatory.
If the level of a demon king is the standard for recognition as a hero, he should be able to inherit it.
However, this time, the scholar-hyung denied it.
“It’s a foolish idea. The era when Prunar was active was the time when true demons were active. A gentle demon king wouldn’t be able to stand out. Maybe the clear sky set its own military power as the minimum standard?”
“Ah~ If that’s the case, I’ll just tell you to beat yourself from the beginning~”
Rae Band said with a face that he couldn’t believe it, and she replied that the scholar hyung had a point.
“But you have to assume the worst case. Never know again The criterion for recognition may not be just victory, but overwhelming victory…”
Having listened to the opinions quietly, I expressed my thoughts.
“I think the standard for recognition is between a normal demon lord and a true purgatory demon lord. I think it’s somewhere in between.”
The intangible scratching his cheek murmured.
“…Very vague.”
I agree with the intangible words.
There is a huge difference between the fighting power of Jin Purgatory and the Demon King, and it is difficult to say where in between.
“But, as Kaitsu said, the difference between a hero and a descendant is bigger than you think, so the conditions we mentioned are too harsh.
“…Come to think of it. Didn’t you say Ilkito?”
I raised two fingers while nodding to Kitz, who understood my meaning.
“Succession can be performed by multiple people at the same time. Also, for each of those who have met the qualifications for succession, we can take one additional person.”
“I wondered why we called. Was it like that?”
The intangible replied calmly.
However, her eyes were shining with anticipation of battle.
“This is the member. I, who has to solve the quest, and Gold, the owner of the current artifact, are fixed. Madora was originally a descendant, so he said he could enter without any conditions. She hasn’t mastered the native Ryu Gnar, so she can’t take anyone with her.
“Then are the three of you going?”
I shook my head at Katz’s words.
“There is one more heir. That makes a total of five. That’s why. As for the other one.
Kitz narrowed her eyes and the warlike intangible clicked her tongue.
“Why are you such a parasitic brother?”
“Because of course Kitz is the strongest among us.”
In terms of attack power alone, even if I and intangibles were special, overall, I couldn’t keep up with Kitz.
Reincarnated jjambab is not in vain.
Katz was smiling with a very proud face.
That face was so bad that I tried to fire a flame bullet, but Garcinido kicked it from behind. As she was glaring at her, she quietly lowered her hand.
“Well… In normal cases, one shot would have taken a cowardly intangible that was strong and somehow managed to hit the attack…”
“?”
“Joy.”
From Kaitsu’s slightly shocked face, she changed to her intangible funny yet elated face.
Why are you laughing I thought I was cowardly looking at you right now?
“Actually, I think Garcinido would be fine too. Honestly, if it’s a simple melee fight, isn’t it the strongest?”
The other warriors’ party is also very strong, but it is not comparable to Garcinido.
Unlike Garcinido, who was in charge of combat in the first place, all other warrior parties dispel traps or interpret spells. Cure. Because they have roles such as manipulating public opinion.
At that time, Kitz asked with a puzzled look on her face.
“But who is the successor to the other one…”
Rattle!
“It’s me!!”
The door burst open and a girl appeared.
A blonde bun girl who had forgotten her existence because she hadn’t seen her until now. Gold’s half-brother. Charles Hart.
I thought I would be frightened by this conversation for the first time since I didn’t explain anything other than that I inherited the power of my ancestors, but surprisingly, I was very excited.
Are you a giant? Or is the goal empty as it looks?
“Chit.”
When her grandmother clicked her tongue, Charles glared at her.
“Oh my God. Who is this person, looking at me and clicking her tongue?”
I tend to notice it very much just because that bitch told me it was this person.
If she knew her grandmother’s identity or purpose, she would swear.
“Charles. Don’t be rude and sit down.”
Unusually, at Gold’s subdued voice, Charles said yes, yes. He was embarrassed and sat quietly next to him.
Seeing her grandmother, he is nodding her head as if flirting with her.
“Dre. I have an opinion.”
Then the scholar brother raised his hand.
“Would you like to entrust the artifact to me? I’ve seen cases similar to this succession a few times. If it’s a fight in a virtual world… We might be able to ignore the conditions and invade.”
Grandma’s eyes sharpened at the scholar’s words.
She wondered if she would tarnish the divine succession with justice.
I nodded her head as I restrained her with her eyes.
“The situation is difficult. The higher the chance of victory, the better, so of course I have to leave it to you. Is it okay, gold?”
“Okay.”
“Where is that artifact?”
In response to Kitz’s question, Gold quickly held out her necklace.
Grandma said it was theirs. She gritted her teeth, but she didn’t say anything.
The scholar-type accepted it cautiously.
After a few words of conversation with the scholar-type, Katz suddenly spoke to me.
“But eight days.”
“Ok?”
“I want to hear your plan.”
I stuck out my tongue, saying, “You’re a quick-witted bastard.”
“When you hear about the circumstances so far. Even if you pass the time quietly, Madora Thunder will inherit the power someday.”
Then automatically “Correct the lie” Will be completed.
He was saying that there was no need to take risks and do succession or anything like that.
“But in that case, the Hart family would be destroyed.”
I said in a clear voice.
“My purpose. Madora will inherit the power. And the Heart family will be maintained.”
“…Are those two things possible at the same time?”
Originally, it is impossible.
If one side takes over, the other will have to wait until the next generation.
If the foundation of power is lost, the Hart family is bound to be shaken.
Even so, he couldn’t help returning the power to Madora.
But.
“I have an idea.”
“Well. I guess so.”
Katz readily acknowledged it.
“It’s true that Madora, who will one day inherit the power of the Heart family, has to participate in the succession even if she stays still. You must have your own thoughts.”
“Okay.”
If you know it, I glared at it in the sense of killing it, but our Diamental Cheats didn’t kill it either.
“I’ll tell you. Unique Ryunarga. Power isn’t the only problem. Rather, the bigger problem is after the succession ceremony. The world’s perception.”
Even if you have power, the eyes of the world are that the root is not a thief.
If that were the case, the Hart family would have no choice but to be threatened at any time.
“I’ve been thinking about that too.”
I clenched and opened my fists.
“I’ll do something.”
Katz nodded his head.
“Yes. Then… When will the succession ceremony be held? If the scholar’s work ends in failure, you and I will participate in the succession. Madora Airaitetsu. Gold Heart. Charles Heart. Are these five?”
“No. If possible, I want to invite one more person to the succession ceremony.”
Everyone was puzzled by my words, but ah!! It made a sound.
“Come to think of it, there are two more direct descendants of the Hart family.”
Gold, who kept bowing her head at Kitz’s words, raised her face and said.
“Topaz had been studying abroad for a long time, so he couldn’t fulfill the 10-year requirement.”
In other words. Only one left.
The owner of the house is Gald.
“Then let’s convince Gald Heart while the scholar interprets the spell… Let’s manipulate public opinion considering the end of the succession.”
“Then I’ll stop the head office from spreading bigger rumors.”
Homun said in a rare angry voice.
The recent rumors were quickly dispelled by her ability and the Duke of the Gryze family, but it seems that her pride was hurt by not stopping the rumors in advance.
She murmured softly.
“They act like they’re reading my movements. Okay. Let’s see who wins.”
It seems to read movement?
It looks like he’s acting secretly.
…
What. Good night.
I shook my head and said.
“The help of the head of the heart or the scholar-type interpretation of the spells will surely be helpful, but it can’t take too long. The decisive battle is tomorrow.”
Tomorrow. We inherit
We don’t know why, but come all at once! Gave a shout
Good. It’s going well.
But what?
This… Anxiety of missing something.
