Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 84

084. Bruno Green (2)

After recovering, Bruno Green sat down as a guest at Jinju Palace.

I thought to myself, ‘I have no reason to be treated like this!’ I thought that they might end up screaming and going back to the slums, but I was worried for nothing.

He sat in one of the few guest rooms in Jinju Palace and naturally relaxed while being attended to by the maids. His attitude seemed so aristocratic that no one could have guessed that he was someone who had been living in a slum for years.

A man who, despite coming from humble backgrounds, made his way to the top with only his talent.

An unfortunate commoner knight commander who lost everything due to a moment of bad luck.

Although it was such an image, the real Bruno Green was full of leisure in everything he did, and there was not a single shred of misfortune to be found on his bright face.

And, strangely enough, the first thing Bruno Green did at the Pearl Palace was to elaborately trim his mustache.

“… “That’s a nice mustache.”

At dinner time, Seongjin blurted out these words as he faced Director Bruno. Because her unique mustache stole her attention.

His hair was still messy because he hadn’t had a haircut yet, but his smooth, trimmed mustache was stretched out in a graceful curve, maintaining an angle of precisely 165 to 170 degrees.

Hearing Seongjin’s praise, he pulled his mustache to the side with a serious expression.

“This is my attitude as a military officer, sir.”

“huh?”

“When I go to battle or face a duel, I always sharpen the angle of my mustache and strengthen the sword in my heart.”

“… … ?”

“Even now, I trimmed my beard with the mindset of going into battle. A second life given to me by Your Majesty and Your Majesty. You can’t show half-hearted determination. “A mustache is the most accurate measure of a man’s mindset.”

Well, that can’t be possible?

Lee Sung shouted that it was all just bullshit, but without realizing it, Seong Jin was groping around his smooth mouth, which still showed no signs of whiskers.

And, there arose someone who was strongly influenced by his beard. A representative example was Sir Calmen.

“that… To strengthen my resolve as a military officer… … .”

Calmen, whose attitude was still awkward, but who had now begun to show a polite courtesy to Seongjin, touched his chin and spoke.

Unfortunately, after only a few days of growing it, it only looks dark and dirty without any indication of its resolve. Still, Seongjin thought that it was a sign of respect for his teacher.

The problem was that the teacher didn’t even pretend to see it.

“You should practice swordsmanship properly before you control the sword in your heart. You poor disciple who was beaten by only seven people. “Don’t go somewhere and boast that you are a knight of the imperial palace.”

“Captain!”

As Kalmen cried out in tears, Director Bruno snorted.

“why? “Did I say something wrong?”

“At that time, I couldn’t help it… No, but hasn’t your attitude changed a lot? “Not long ago, you encouraged me by saying that I was quite talented!”

“what? Did I tell you something about talent? No way? Have you forgotten that I was Prince Logan’s swordsmanship teacher?”

Director Bruno, who had been called a genius, seemed to feel that everyone was of the same talent as Prince Logan.

Then Kalmen got frustrated and stamped his foot.

“You said it while having a drink together! It’s clear that one of the best things you’ve done in your life is to leave at least one disciple like me… … !”

However, the leader just rolled his eyes with a puzzled expression.

“Well, that’s fine. “I remember you sometimes bringing me good drinks.”

“So then… … !”

“But I don’t remember sharing it with you? “Why are you giving me that good thing?”

“profit!”

Seongjin sighed as he watched the skit between the two priests.

Well, that guy, Carmen, has a very fiery temper, so he’s jumping around without knowing anything. In the eyes of Director Bruno, who pretends to be calm and teases him, anyone can see that there is affection for his student.

However, Seongjin knew that the leader was not just teasing Calmen.

-There will be rare gaps in memory. It was the best for now.

This was the first thing Seonghwang said as he finished treating the leader and took off his eye patch.

Certainly, restoring a completely damaged brain would not have been an easy task.

As evidence, several small flame crystals still remained like scars in the leader’s mind.

[There are parts where I can guess.]

After thinking for a while and organizing his thoughts, the Demon King explained.

[A salt crystal is an organ that can normally form in the body. The only problem is that it was created in an unfavorable location and with abnormal numbers.]

That was the devil’s guess.

In fact, the flame crystals are not the traces of a disease invading the area, but rather the result of the human body’s natural reaction to something emitted from Loperum’s eggs.

[Isn’t that why the divine power doesn’t work well? Just like getting treatment for sunburn from a priest doesn’t mean moles or freckles will disappear together.]

It was the story of Sir Claudia, who suffered a minor burn while training under the strong sunlight not long ago. At the recommendation of Councilor Ninnias, she received treatment from a priest, but her freckles, which were her charm, were still intact.

In other words, burns caused by strong sunlight are subject to treatment by divine power, but the body’s natural reactions to them remain the same.

‘then… … .’

In the end, there is only one treatment method for the gray plague. This is to completely return the body to how it was before the salt crystals formed.

However, before considering whether it is possible to manipulate time at will, the Demon King explained that completely restoring one person’s time would inevitably involve an unimaginably enormous amount of cause and effect.

[That’s why I forcibly reconnected the body by leaving as much of the healthy parts intact as possible and only returning the parts damaged by the burn crystals to how they were before. Since the flame crystals would have been formed gradually, the reversal time would have been different for each part.]

At that time, I was not entirely mistaken in feeling that Seonghwang was dividing the leader into cells.

[The part that wasn’t possible with just that was the trick of overturning the definition of divine power several times. Even though I did that, a huge amount of causality was twisted and this world was shaken by shock. You probably felt it a little bit too.]

surely.

Seongjin recalled the strange flow of manpower that gathered towards him and Manager Bruno at the time.

[Besides, the brain is not an organ that can be easily manipulated, right? Even a slight change in nerve junctions can cause memory loss or disability. We restored it with almost no damage. Do you now understand just how absurd your father did something?]

‘omg… … .’

Seonghwang, what on earth have you done?

After committing such a terrible act, did you say that you would pass all the consequences on to me? What on earth are you planning?

Regardless of the complex nature of the incident, the scuffle between the two priests continued.

“Didn’t you tell me this many times since you were ordained a knight? Becoming a knight is only the beginning, the real training begins now, so work harder! But why hasn’t your guy made any progress since then?”

“Oh, that’s right! And that day, you said that to me! I can’t believe I’ve become a full-fledged imperial knight, and now even the leader has no regrets… … !”

“Well, that’s fine. “I don’t remember anything like that.”

“Kaaak!”

Well, it was a convenient memory given the circumstances.

And after resting for a few days, Director Bruno began to appear at the Jinju Palace dance hall.

“The Auror is recovering.”

The leader said that he had already started gaining muscle all over his body after eating well for a few days.

Even if he didn’t say it, most people would have guessed it. Because his auror activity has noticeably improved over the past few days.

“Looking at the activity level, it seems to be close to the 3rd floor.”

“Yes, Lord Masaine. “I think it will be on the third floor soon.”

“Wow, that’s really incredible speed. Even though I feel the activity myself, it is not easy to believe it.”

Director Bruno smiled at Masain’s admiration.

“It’s a path I’ve already walked down once. “Isn’t it different from accumulating Aurors for the first time?”

A Dekaron Knight is a person who has reached the 10th level of Auror and seen the ultimate outcome of his training.

Without some kind of enlightenment, you can never reach the 10th floor, and after that, the number of floors you build up is not considered a measure of strength.

Balthazar, said to be the greatest knight on the continent, was a Dekaron Knight who had accumulated 12 levels of Auror. However, this is only because his sword is more suitable for operating the 12th floor, and the level of auror balance in an ideal form is not much different from the 10th floor.

The same was true when the level of Aurors became lower. Director Bruno could not reach the 10th floor simply because the total amount of Aurors accumulated in his body was small, but the level he reached remained intact in his experience.

As proof, the leader was still able to create Aura balance at any time if he wanted to. This is the ideal state of Auror concealment that Dasha was talking about.

“Is it because of my mood? It seems that the body’s aura affinity has increased significantly compared to before. “I don’t know what’s going on.”

“Is that so? “That’s really fascinating.”

Ah, I think I know what that is.

Didn’t Seongjin Daum, who was caught up in an Auror storm before, feel the same way? It must have something to do with the success.

‘… The more you know, the more amazing you are.’

Seongjin thought so, but he was so focused on the conversation that he didn’t hear the resident knights whispering about him.

“… Hey, then what is Prince Mores?”

“Are you currently accumulating auras at a rate that exceeds that of Dekaron Knight? Beginner?”

“What on earth am I really?”

Anyway, it was good news. Because it meant that with a little time, the general manager could return to his former glory.

The birth of another Dekaron Knight in Delcross is guaranteed.

“So what do you plan to do now? “Are you going to return to the Knights?”

Seongjin suddenly became curious and asked the leader.

Although I am now staying at the imperial palace under the pretense of being a guest, this situation will not continue forever.

At that time, the position of leader of the 2nd Knights was vacant. I heard that after Masain stepped down from his position as leader, there was no suitable successor yet, so his lieutenant and former knight leader were filling the position.

Bruno Green is currently [suspended].

No one wants to make an issue of the old incident anymore, and there are no disciplinary records for it. It wouldn’t be that bad for him to become a knight commander again like this.

The problem was Bruno Green’s doctor.

Does he really want to regain his former glorious status, or does he want to live a new life free from the memories of his miserable past?

“If you want to work in the Imperial Guard again, we will support you both materially and spiritually so that you can return as soon as possible.”

However, the leader smiled brightly and responded to Seongjin’s cautious suggestion.

“I really appreciate your words. But don’t worry, lower. “I have some thoughts about my future plans.”

“okay?”

“yes. Actually, not long ago, I received an offer from an organization asking if we would like to work together. Do you know anything about [Arenja], sir?”

For a moment, Seongjin couldn’t believe his ears.

“… “Arenja?”

“yes. “It is an institution directly under His Majesty the Emperor, and is not very well known to the world.”

And the explanation I heard from him was surprising.

Arenja was a small, elite organization created in the early years of Seonghwang’s reign. Because his activities were so secretive, no one knew the details except his closest associates.

Perhaps, [Arranger], if the budget had not been executed regularly every year from now on, its name and even its existence itself would not have been known.

It was not a group made up of priests, as the intelligence department had suspected. Instead, a certain rare [ability] is required to enter there.

It is said that such an ability was recently revealed in Bruno, and there was a cautious contact from Arenja.

“ability?”

“yes. There are two main types of agents in Arenja. There are agents who guard the ecliptic from the inside using their psychic powers, and agents who move from the outside in the form of a point organization. “I happened to have the skills to be an external agent, so I was recommended to join the agency.”

Director Bruno tugged at his mustache as if he was embarrassed.

From his explanation, Seongjin was able to guess a few facts.

The identity of the soul bead I encountered a while ago was not an angel or a ghost, but a psychic, that is, a human.

And even among people with the same psychic abilities, there are some differences in their abilities. While there are some who cannot communicate at all, like those we first met, there are others who are more powerful and capable of communication, as shown later.

And maybe they were keeping a close eye on Director Bruno before. It may not have been just a coincidence that Seongjin was delivered to Director Bruno at the right time while patients with the Gray Plague were being forcibly taken away from all over the imperial capital.

At that time, the Demon King shouted in an excited voice.

[They were humans? How can that be? That wasn’t even a proper soul? Ask me more details, Seongjin Lee!]

I already thought so.

“So, what kind of abilities have you gained? “Can you explain?”

“hmm… … .”

In response to Seongjin’s question, Director Bruno paused for a moment, looking into space.

“For example, yes. I can hear the voice of the person who just spoke to me. “He is the [Red] mentioned in Arrange.”
