Helmut: The Forsaken Child Chapter 332

The conversation with King Veneta is entirely left to Terra. Because it’s Green Cana’s job.

The remaining personnel had promised not to intervene unless it was a tolerable situation.

But Area had no choice but to ask.

“How did you know I was Heike’s granddaughter?”

Talon answered calmly.

“The reason she disguised herself as a man and went to the academy while hiding herself was probably because there was someone targeting her. It’s not easy to make enemies on your own at a young age, so it’s probably a hostile relationship created by your superiors. Silver hair and purple eyes. A wizard with a striking appearance and outstanding skills. Magic is not absolute, but it is an inherited talent. Blood cannot be faked. “If you look for it, you can find out.”

From the perspective of buying and selling information, it wouldn’t make sense if you couldn’t find out that much.

A sharp light passed through the purple eyes staring at Talon. I didn’t like the fact that I had become someone’s weakness.

And in such an unexpected way.

Was it a problem that Teresa discovered that she was a woman? Or was the problem the fact that its existence was discovered?

I thought Teresa wouldn’t be able to get there in a short period of time. The problem wasn’t Teresa.

There was a solution.

‘Wipe it all away?’

Although Veneta is not famous for being a military powerhouse, the knights protecting the king are formidable.

But I am confident of that. Because Helmut is with us and Elaga is with us.

Wouldn’t it be okay to kill King Beneta and the man named Talon right in front of us and silence them?

But Terra sat down again. That was her decision. Area tightly clenched her fists.

‘Even if we silence these two, it will be inevitable that the truth will be relayed to the temple.’

They were not complacent enough to bring up the story without taking the minimum measures.

Terra cannot choose war with the temple anyway. Because there is a village called Green Cana that needs to be protected.

Therefore, the King of Veneta also seemed to understand that she could not go to extremes.

However, Terra did not completely empty her mind.

‘If you don’t like the King’s terms of the deal!’

I could have retaliated in some other way. Because the Earth Spirit Wizard has many ways to use it!

But those feelings disappeared when he saw the amount the king offered.

Although it was not enough to mention the national budget, it was an amount that could be considered a reward for a high-ranking noble who had made a meritorious service.

‘I’m not planning on just making up for it with threats.’

Sincerity is not only visible in words, but also in the amount of money. It was a pretty big reward.

There was a reasonable line of compensation that the king thought.

The amount was not small, and Terra knew that he had not intended to chase her away by giving her an unexpectedly small sum.

Unlike Teresa, who was too comfortable with Rodríl, the king was prepared for other situations.

Terra thought as she glanced at the king.

‘I’m not the kind of person who would lose money to anyone.’

Even if Teresa made a mistake, should we say that she has prepared a plan to correct it?

Perhaps because he ascended to the throne with difficulty, he is thorough in every detail. No matter how great Rodil is, he is a wizard who has rarely revealed his power.

It is easy for a group to look down on an individual, and a king is naturally overbearing, but his attitude was not like that.

It is hoped that this issue will be resolved without further provoking Rodrill.

Terra said as she returned the document the king gave her.

“Looking at you, Veneta’s future looks bright.”

Anyway, there is nothing bad about talking to the King of Veneta, where Green Cana belongs.

He must have realized that Rodril no longer wanted to have anything to do with Veneta.

“I’ll take that as a compliment. “I, too, was amazed at the strength you showed.”

“If you are surprised, I hope Rodril’s power will never be exercised in Veneta again. I am a body that follows the will of the earth spirit. That power cannot be used in the human world. “Even by someone’s selfish desires or needs.”

The Earth Spirit is a being comparable to Lumen.

However, while Lumen had numerous believers, the Earth Spirit had only one contractor.

Even though there are limits to using all of that power because we are humans, its power can be guessed.

Instead, that power could only be used when necessary.

If Terra abuses her power, the Earth Spirit will break the contract and turn her into an ordinary sorceress.

It would be difficult for a spirit to unilaterally break a contract, but the Earth Spirit was free from such restrictions.

The king nodded his head.

“…I understand what you mean. “I was hoping for an easier and more pleasant conversation, but it’s a shame it didn’t happen.”

“So do i.”

“If you don’t plan to leave the capital right away, will you give me a chance to make it up to you? “I don’t want my guests to leave with unpleasant memories.”

Terra responded to this proposal faster than any response she had ever given.

“Good.”

“You said you wanted to live in the royal castle, but you were serious?”

Xian narrowed his eyes. After the last conversation, they moved to the lodgings where state guests were welcomed.

So, this is a better accommodation than before. They said a banquet would be prepared tomorrow to send them off.

If their visit had been unofficial before, they will now record it in an official document.

Terra’s face naturally bloomed brightly. From her perspective, it was a deal with no losses. Even though I received compensation for starting a fight from the other side, I still got what I got.

Terra glanced at Xian.

“If you don’t have the ability to treat your mother well, why don’t you just be quiet when she says she wants to enjoy some luxury?”

“Are you telling me to get a job as a royal wizard somewhere?”

Xian felt aggrieved. It’s not that I couldn’t get a job because I don’t have the skills, it’s that I have skills that would be welcomed wherever I go, but I guess there was a gap for a while because I was looking for a friend.

Moreover, Xian is more talented as a magician than any other person in Rodril.

The Earth Spirit also chose the most outstanding wizard among Rodril’s bloodlines, so he will be the Earth Spirit contractor after Terra.

The succession does not occur only after Terra’s death, and in fact, it may not occur when.

It is up to the spirit of the earth. If I made a contract with the Earth Spirit, I would have to live in Green Cana without being able to get a job anyway, so

it was like my career path was set.

Terra clicked her tongue.

“It would be better than being unemployed and not making any money like I am now. “At best, it’s a waste of money to pay tuition at Greta Academy.”

“I’m the deputy head of the magic department, right? I received a scholarship for all 6 years because I ranked second in my grades at school, but I don’t think it’s a waste to pay tuition. “I didn’t pay anything other than the admission fee.”

Xian pointed out the facts one by one, as if he was astounded.

The fact that I was only in second place the whole time was a bit bitter, but to think positively, there were probably third placers who never got second place because of that.

Terra responded as if she would not lose.

“You also received pocket money.”

Of course, I also received pocket money. However, it was difficult for a wizard to experience financial hardship, and Rodril was well-off, so he did not receive much support.

Xian immediately went on the attack.

“So, what were your grades like when you attended Greta Academy?”

“…It’s been a few years since I graduated from the academy, do you even remember that? Don’t be noisy, be quiet. “Mom, I need to think about something.”

Block unfavorable conversations. It was a good tactic. Like a model son, Xian did not fight back further and responded dissatisfied.

“Yes yes yes.”

Helmut, who was watching the skit unfold next to him, looked at Area.

Area’s brows were furrowed from earlier, and it looked like she was thinking intensely about something.

Something like the so-called ‘Black Hawk Destruction Plan’.

Talon is a capable man, but he messed with the wrong person.

Because Area was the type of person who would always punish anyone who touched her, no matter how long it took.

“It doesn’t matter what you do with Blackhawk, but you won’t do anything right away, right?”

Area responded slowly.

“huh? Ah yes. Blackhawk… didn’t you have something to talk about with that guy named Talon?”

“It did. And I think they will contact me from there.”

Helmut lowered his voice and spoke. As I left the conference room earlier, I made eye contact with Talon.

He intentionally focused his gaze in that direction.

Helmut realized. That Talon knows who he is. Talon moved his lips.

‘night.’

Helmut understood. He said he would contact him tonight. It was a good thing that he happened to have something to say.

The king wanted to make sure his guests left on a good note, so he delayed their stay a little longer.

Helmut did not consider himself excluded from the decision.

‘You mentioned Area even though you knew about me.’

Although Helmut was actually more useful as a target of intimidation.

Didn’t they know that Helmut was of Linosa’s blood? That may be so.

However, that may not be the reason why Talon did not mention Helmut.

‘Is it a favor?’

Blackhawk did not want to lose Helmut and Chuck. So, I first showed him the favor of providing him with three pieces of information.

This time too, he showed his determination not to mess with Helmut.

Of course, I touched the wrong person. However, Black Hawk does not know that Area is no different from Helmut.

‘If I knew, I would compensate.’

Four years ago, he was just a swordsman with exceptional skills for his age, so Helmut couldn’t figure out why Talon was doing that.

However, even Talon knows. If Helmut hadn’t been playing around, he would have been stronger than he was four years ago.

Area raised her eyes and asked.

“Do you mean I shouldn’t participate?”

“I am not a child.”

It’s unfair that Elaga is treated like a weakling, but isn’t it better to leave this to yourself? Anyway, he always had conversations with Talon alone.

Area nodded.

“You’re saying you’ll take care of it, right?”

“Okay, I’ll talk when it’s over.”

“okay.”

Area accepted obediently and that was the end of their conversation.

Now all Helmut had to do was wait. Doing what you always do. Sword training.

And as expected, someone approached Helmut, who was swinging his sword alone in the training hall late that night.
