Helmut
Episode 309
After a while, they passed through the village and arrived at Xian’s house amidst all the attention.
A huge cedar tree occupied one side of the house like a pillar, and the leaves extending from it covered the roof.
A house with a natural feel. It was a scene very suitable for the home of a spirit wizard.
“Oh, it’s Xian. “Debaucher, are you back?”
A girl peeked her face out through the crack in the door. The girl, who had just entered puberty, had sparkling eyes with a bold look.
It was a face that resembled Sian’s in a different way.
Unlike usual, Sian reacted firmly to her sister whom she had not seen in a long time.
“Go in, Sienna.”
“Tch, what is it?”
However, when I took a quick look, my parents’ expressions hardened. Moreover, the group felt strange for some reason.
She quickly closed the door and went inside. Asuka gently tapped Xian’s shoulder.
“Sian, didn’t you say you have two younger brothers?”
“Uh, one younger sister, one younger brother. “But my younger brother is not here because he entered Greta Academy this time.”
Among Baden’s academies, Greta is the best in magic.
Due to its special nature, the family of Xian, a spirit wizard, all graduated from Greta Academy.
Terra opened her mouth.
“The house is small, so it would be better to talk in the yard.”
In the yard, there was a large outdoor table and several stump-shaped log chairs made from cut trees.
Everyone went there and sat down. Elaga was still riding on Helmut’s shoulder.
“Since we have a long-awaited guest, we should treat them to a meal, but I think the conversation comes first. “The guests that Sian is said to be bringing are so much more than expected.”
Although it is the house located in the innermost part of the village, it attracted the attention of the villagers on the way here.
It was probably not a conversation that anyone could overhear.
Terra chanted a spell. Having made a contract with the most powerful spirit on earth, her magic surpasses that of an archmage.
Grumble! The floor rose up around them.
A huge wall three times the height of an adult man surrounded them, as if it had suddenly grown from the ground.
Ygrel was impressed.
“wow.”
This is Igrel, who has reigned as a predator in the forest of Pahe all his life. Although he didn’t eat humans, he thought they were weak beings, but somehow that perception was distorted.
It hasn’t been long since I left the Forest of Pahe, but I have skills that can’t be underestimated by all the humans I’ve met so far.
“No sound will pass through this wall. Now, shall we begin the story?”
Terra’s eyes sparkled mysteriously.
*
Sian talked about her relationship with Helmut and what had happened so far.
He was an excellent speaker. Especially when it comes to reducing what is disadvantageous and expanding what is advantageous.
It would be an understatement to say that leaving the Forest of Pahe twice was unusual, but the story of Helmut being abandoned by his mother twice was truly shocking.
Meanwhile, Xian, who risked his life and headed to the Forest of Pahe to save his betrayed friend, was portrayed as a loyal, cool, and brave wizard, but the expressions of people around him changed strangely.
It’s definitely true, but for some reason, it was uncomfortable to listen to.
Helmut’s expression became increasingly odd as he listened to him talk about himself as if he pitied him, and Charlotte’s expression became more and more stern.
In Xian’s words, Helmut was a lamb who could not be pitied, and the temple and the Grand Duchy of Linosa were truly the evil enemies of the world.
“Yeah, that’s what happened.”
Terra calmly accepted their story, as if she was used to her son’s speaking style. Of course, that didn’t necessarily mean in a good way.
“So, you, as the son of Rodril, helped two monsters, one who holds the sprout of darkness and the other who is the ruler of the area, escape from the Forest of Pahe. The story is that he actively cooperated in something that could put humanity in danger, without even saying a word to his parents. “Am I wrong?”
“He was a guy who had never had an accident in his life, so this was his first accident.”
“As a parent, I don’t know what to do with these types of accidents,” said Azer. What was clear was that a double kick would not be enough.
The two couples exchanged quiet glances with each other. It seemed like a storm suddenly raged in their once peaceful lives.
Xian opened his mouth.
“Mother, my name is Sian Rodrile. I’ve never been upset, right? Please trust my choice. I’ve been to the Forest of Pahe, am friends with Helmut, and have experienced them. I also thought about it and made a choice. And I believe my choice was right.”
Area gave him a suspicious look as if asking, ‘When did you worry?’
Didn’t both Asuka and Xian nod their heads with indignant faces as soon as they heard it? I thought she was a pretty emotional character.
‘Actually, magic is an implementation that excludes emotions. An emotional person cannot be an excellent wizard.’
Xian is the deputy head of the Department of Magic. His excellent grades were not simply because he was a spirit wizard. Because he is a truly wizard-like wizard.
“Then let’s ask the person involved. Helmut, can you live up to Xian’s faith?”
The look in her eyes as she faced Helmut was immeasurably deep. In those eyes, it seems as if Helmut’s abyss would not be that heavy of a color.
Helmut knew that this wasn’t just a question he was asking as his friend’s mother. Those who have power have obligations. Just like Darian did.
The two archmages were relatively free beings there, but Terra, an elemental mage, was not. She is a being who carries a duty to power as much as a priest.
Helmut gave Sian a look. He knew that Sian hadn’t invited him here just to meet his friend’s parents.
‘This is an opportunity… … .’
I’ll be on your side, but others differ. Show yourself and turn those who could one day become your enemies on your side. If you need strength, your parents can be that strength too.
It seemed as if Xian’s intentions were understood.
Xian’s mother, Terra, is arguably the most powerful spirit contractor on earth.
Even if Sian had faith in Helmut, that faith had to be separated from reason. As long as the variables Ygrel and Elaga come together.
Therefore, by showing her mother the existence of Helmut and the two monsters, Sian foreshadows possible danger.
That was his duty as a spirit mage and Rodril for the choices he made.
To control a risk, you cannot simply trust that the risk will be controlled. That kind of complacency is not what a wizard is. As a wizard, he had to be aware of the possibility of danger and be able to prepare for it.
Xian wasn’t a thoughtless guy like Asuka. He acted like he was thinking nothing, but he was a spirit wizard.

The spirits value the maintenance and survival of this world above all else. Nature is a constant cycle of life and death. Spirits are like the will of the natural world.
It is simply different from what humans call peace without war.
A low baseline that life in this world can be maintained, even if it is in the destructive form of war and massacre. It was different from Lumen, which pursued stability and survival by human standards.
‘But the Demon King’s War violated that minimum baseline.’
Xian, a spirit wizard, is no different from a spirit priest. As long as he commands that power, and as long as he is Rodril, he cannot betray the spirit’s will.
Helmut gently closed his eyes and opened his mouth. A calm voice came out.
“Elaga and Ygrel do not eat humans. He won’t harm anyone or destroy the world, as long as they don’t pose a threat to him. You will know that when you watch. and I… … .”
His voice suddenly became firm.
“I came out of Pahe Forest twice. “If enduring the sprouts of darkness is a miracle, I have had two miracles, so there will be a third.”
Terra shook her head.
“A miracle is a fluke. “Maybe I was lucky.”
“It’s not a fluke. It was achieved. And I will make it happen again.”
Helmut’s black eyes became deeply colored. A subtle vis bloomed from his body.
Vis is the will and power of the swordsman. Also, the strength of the mind. It was evidence of the hardships of swinging the sword countless times and overcoming hardships.
Helmut’s age was much younger than Darian’s. Nevertheless, he reached the level of Darian.
It was not something that could be explained simply as a sprout of darkness or a realm of talent.
Everything he has experienced so far has tempered him and he has finally completed the sword Helmut. Even if humans break, the sword does not break.
“You are dangerous, but your potential for risk cannot overcome your other potential. “I also think that no one can decide that in advance.”
Terra smiled. It was a gentle smile that resembled Xian’s and was like another gentle wave.
The earth has the power of embrace, and as a spiritist of the earth, she resembles the earth.
She looked at Helmut and found some understanding in his answer. That was enough for now.
“Now then, let’s eat. “We will prepare it soon, so please wait for everyone.”
And she frowned slightly as she walked toward the house.
“Welcome to Rodril.”
Azer, who was trying to follow her, tapped Sian’s waist and whispered.
“But there are so many beautiful women, so why isn’t your girlfriend among them?”
He clicked his tongue as if he was pathetic. Sian, who was in tears, was about to say something, but gathered his thoughts.
Even though he was not popular throughout his time at the Academy, he was always close friends with Asuka. The golden academy days flew by in a gloomy way.
But in reality, Asuka seemed to be in a flower field these days.
Even when he was at the academy, he was a guy who denied his feelings to the point where I thought he was a really stupid idiot.
As he enters the Forest of Pahe and stays with Charlotte, he naturally follows his heart.
Charlotte’s feelings were unknown, but in Sian’s opinion, Charlotte had a fairly simple personality.
She was attracted to men who were stronger than her. And because she was dull and indifferent, she took it in stride even when Asuka got angry.
If things continued like this, there was a good chance things would go well with Asuka.
‘But it won’t happen that easily. ‘I’ll disturb you as much as I can.’
Xian usedlessly burned his will. It was a beautiful demonstration of friendship.
