Helmut: The Forsaken Child - Chapter 325

Helmut

Episode 325

‘I don’t know what you’re going to do.’

Although Terra has shown a majestic appearance at times, she is fundamentally a finite character.

Terra was like a gentle lady from a rural village who never pressured or confronted anyone.

Rodril’s spirit wizards have always been like that. Until now, Rodrile has never had a conflict with any country.

There was no reason for anyone to touch them as they lived quietly in the mountains.

There were people looking for him to lend his strength, but Rodrill never responded.

It was the will of the Earth Spirit not to interfere with the affairs of the human world, and Rodril always followed that will.

‘It was a peaceful tone. However, if we clash with King Beneta this time, it will be a problem even if we win.’

The reason everyone allowed Rodril to be peaceful was because they were not a threat.

Because he has great power, but has never once shown off that power.

If Terra makes an example of King Veneta, nearby monarchs will see Rodril as a potential threat.

That wasn’t a good thing. Rodril’s power was powerful, but Terra was the only one who could use the power of the Earth Spirit.

There were also Azer and other elemental wizards, but they were not of great power.

Even when you have tremendous power to threaten others, the best way to avoid chaos is to remain quiet.

King Veneta led such Rodrile to Teresa Fidelis.

Xian’s brow furrowed.

‘That’s also Teresa senior’s calculation. ‘Rodrill wouldn’t want a conflict.’

But Mother Terra said: Even Rodril, who pursues peace, will not submit unjustly.

My mother used the expression surrender, not yield. This means that this situation was accepted as one-sided.

A resident of Green Cana has been kidnapped. Rodril has a duty to protect Green Cana. Even if it’s just one resident.

Therefore, Rodrile will not get over this situation easily.

‘You said the hostage was safe, right? That must be true.’

Because there is no reason to lie.

When Teresa visits this time, she will at least bring proof that the hostages are safe.

One thing was clear. You have to face King Veneta face to face. And Terra would like to talk to him on an equal footing.

After organizing his thoughts, Xian went to visit Helmut and Area.

“So, Helmut and Alea, what do you guys do?”

Xian asked cautiously. For some reason, I didn’t say it was Teresa Fidelis, but I did let her know that someone from Fidelis would be visiting soon.

Terra and Azer’s plans are unknown, but a conflict could have occurred.

I was reluctant to get the guests involved in this. This is definitely Rodril’s job.

‘Besides, those two.’

There were two monsters that were difficult to control, Elaga and Ygrel.

In fact, Sian hoped that these two would take them and leave.

In particular, Ygrel’s existence was stressful itself.

It looks like he used himself as a peanut to pass the time, but he completely refused.

The problem was that among the unmarried men in Green Cana, only Sian did not have a fiancee.

That was because he left Green Cana and attended Greta Academy since he was young.

‘Anyway, I was there to rescue Helmut from the Forest of Pahe.’

In the forest of digs, they provided at least a little help. Now that Helmut is out of the forest, it’s no wonder their paths diverge.

Of course, Helmut was currently unemployed and had nothing to do. Helmut, an unemployed man, answered simply.

“I will stay in case there is something that needs our strength. “Let’s watch.”

“All you have to do is change your appearance.”

Area added. Her eyes suddenly became sharper.

“But you’re hiding something, right? “Why did you look like you were being stabbed by something earlier?”

“Hmm? Oh no. “There is no such thing.”

Sian stuttered without realizing it. Actually, it was a long time ago, wasn’t it?

Moreover, there was nothing between Teresa and Helmut, so she couldn’t understand why she was hiding it.

‘Maybe it’s just that Area is scary.’

After leaving Greta Academy, Area no longer had any shackles.

She was a wizard who would soon reach the level of great wizard.

If she faced Teresa, with whom she already had a bad relationship, and started a fight, I didn’t know what would happen to the Kingdom of Veneta.

After thinking for a moment, Xian asked.

“Then can you promise me this? Even if there is a conflict, I will not step in unless it is an emergency.”

Helmut answered willingly.

“Sure.”

Area slightly tilted her head as if she was skeptical and answered.

“okay.”

“And I want you to change your appearance too. “Don’t get caught.”

They both agreed to follow Xian’s words. Charlotte and Asuka have already been discovered by Teresa. I didn’t have the power to hide it.

Now they just had to wait.

Until Teresa Fidelis visited Green Cana at the behest of King Veneta.

*

Immediately after Xian and his party returned to Green Cana, Teresa immediately tracked them down. The work is over, but we need to make sure everything is done.

But she soon tilted her head.

“That’s strange. Four people entered Fidelis with Xian. “There are five people in total, so why did only three come here?”

The memories of some people I recognized were strangely hazy.

I remember those two people being there, but I couldn’t remember what they looked like at all.

Moreover, even if you try to read the earth’s memories, you cannot. That means that one of the two people who did not meet is a wizard with better skills than Teresa.

“Perhaps…”

Inevitably, one wizard crossed my mind.

Area. Xian’s friend and the head of the magic department in the year below her. The person who made Teresa feel what eternal defeat was like.

“Area is here…?”

Immediately after graduating from Greta Academy, I was eligible to enter anywhere, but I never heard any news from Area.

Area has completely disappeared. It was the same with Xian. It bothered me that two of my close friends, Area and Xian, disappeared at one point.

So wouldn’t they be together?

In her head, Teresa added one more powerful force to Rodril’s side.

It’s negative news, but if the issue with Rodrill is resolved smoothly, it won’t be a big deal.

‘Then who is the other one?’

One of the people that comes to mind slowly. A cold boy with black hair and dark eyes embedded in Teresa’s memories.

As the daughter of Duke Fidelis, you are attracted to commoners! It had special meaning even for the cool-headed Teresa.

A feeling you can never have again. It was a childhood memory where even the calculating woman was able to like someone with a pure heart.

Strangely enough, it reminded me of that blond man standing in the village. Teresa tilted her head.

‘Hmm, is that guy my type too? It seemed like something similar.’

But now, there is a big task ahead. This is not the time to worry about such things.

Teresa shook her head and shook off the useless thoughts.

*

The day before she visited Green Cana under the order of King Veneta. Late at night, Helmut was deep in thought. While holding the sword he was swinging in his hand.

The night air was cold, which made my mind clearer. The stars were twinkling clearly in the sky. There was a figure approaching him.

“Helmut what are you thinking?”

A clear voice awakened my still, still mind. Her silver hair sparkled like a spiderweb in the moonlight.

Area. Helmut looked at her blankly. Soon his mouth opened.

“Blackhawk.”

“Why Blackhawk? Because of the one remaining piece of information?”

“…No, that’s not it. I am.”

Helmut’s eyebrows moved.

“From shade to sunlight. “I was thinking about it.”

At some point while swinging the sword, that fact flashed to me. As if a dot had been placed in my head.

The spot slowly spread and grew in size, eventually taking over the entire head.

Black Hawk is an underworld group that operates in the shadows. From criminals and troublemaking mercenaries to assassins and gangsters, they are all gathered together.

Although there were quite a few talented people, the morality of many of the members was problematic.

It must have taken a lot of preparation for them to emerge from the shadows to the sun.

Although it has not yet been completely achieved, the fact that it is possible has become an image in itself.

Even though it is the same shade, if Black Hawk’s place is a shadow, then Helmut’s place is deep in the cave.

“If Blackhawk is actively operating in the Kingdom of Veneta, Talon will also be in Veneta.”

I thought I should meet him. I still don’t know what to talk about when we meet. Area asked back.

“Are you planning to visit him? What if your presence becomes known at the Rinosana Temple?”

Helmut’s black eyes glowed coldly.

“I am not afraid.”

“I’m not afraid either.”

Area also responded. They were on one side. On the other hand, he is more trustworthy than anyone else.

On one side of the vacant lot, Elaga, who was lying on her butt like a cat baking bread, opened her mouth.

[I’m not afraid either. No, if possible, I wish I could just hang out with those temple guys. It’s no better than fighting against the sacred barrier. It’ll be fun.]

The white cat’s eyes sparkled.

Ho Seung-sim. The temple was a new and good enemy for Elaga, a powerful monster who could not find any enemies even in the Forest of Pahe.

Although his existence may be a double-edged sword as he poses a threat not only to the temple but also to other humans.

‘Balance… is it?’

Coming out of the shadows into the sunshine and having your existence recognized. So that it can exist on its own rather than under the threat of publicity or royalties.

Just as Black Hawk’s cooperation with King Veneta earned recognition for their existence, Helmut may be able to do something similar.

That was the first clue thrown to Helmut. I still have no idea how to hold on to that clue.

But what is clear is that Helmut was strong. More than Rodril. So much so that no one dares touch it.

That strength was something he achieved in the end after being abandoned once again in the forest of Pahe. It was the power he had built up that could not be denied.

And Helmut was not alone. Cian, Asuka, Charlotte, and Area were by his side.

Even if we assume that Ygrel is not on this side, Elaga is above all else.

“…Let’s do it.”

Anything. To not hide from those who have sinned without committing a crime.

Area quietly held his hand.
