The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 448



449 – Declaration

Ellie used the librarian’s book to find a book about an ancient demon in the forbidden book area, placed several books on the desk, and began to read the book with concentration. I opened one of them and read about the devil everywhere. She spent an hour doing that, but she didn’t achieve much. Should I say that finding out the name of the devil that was the purpose of coming to the library was an achievement?

Aegyn in the north, Uricus in the east, Paimon in the west, and Mammon in the south. It seems that the four devils were called the Four Demons in ancient times. It was so long ago, and there is no way that dangerous information, such as the place where the devil was sealed, could be written in the book.

However, Ellie looked satisfied as she carefully copied the knowledge she gained from the book into a notebook. It seems that the fragmentary information in her book is of great help to Ellie, who has read numerous books in the library. Is this the difference in knowledge? As she was thinking that, she held out the book Ellie was looking at to me and she said,

“I think I can infer the area where Paimon was sealed. In this book, it is said that Paimon built his own castle and used his numerous subordinates to increase his power in the West. Of course, the castle that the devil built would not have been left as is, so there would be no trace left now. “If we examine the records of ancient castles left by historians, we will definitely be able to find out where Paimon’s castle was located.”

After hearing the explanation, it seemed like it would be so. At her nod, Ellie began looking through another book without further explanation. I lowered my head to concentrate on the book again. But my lost concentration had no intention of coming back. After staring blankly at the unreadable text for a while, I slowly raised my head.

“… .”

My gaze was tangled in the air. Was it coincidental timing, or was he watching me the whole time? Ellie raised her eyebrows at me and fixed her eyes on the book again with an incomprehensible expression on her face.

After spending a full day at the Academy library, I returned to Modest. Ellie said she would look for more information and she stayed in the library. She said there was no need to overexert herself, and Ellie replied that it was okay for her to read a book. So she was the only one who returned to Modest.

First, I asked Amber to investigate with the information Ellie found. Paimon in the West and Mammon in the South. Among them, the one with the most information was Paimon of the West. After Ellie showed her what she had organized in her notebook, Amber quickly began filling out the document. As I was watching this, I became curious and asked vaguely.

“With this amount of information, can we find out where Paimon is sealed?”

The information was estimated based on names, descriptions in books, and ancient records. The name Paimon was so old that it was forgotten even by Westerners. Even though Modest is the world’s best information guild, I thought it wouldn’t be easy. However, Amber’s expression was bright as usual.

“It’s much better than starting without any information. Sometimes you start without even knowing the name. In particular, records about the devil are kept in detail in the church’s records room. “I’m sure if I entrust the investigation to someone in the church, I’ll be able to get some good information.”

If Amber is so confident, she will definitely get some good information. She was a capable guild member who did not disappoint her expectations, and now she is the leader of the Modests. After finishing my business, I was about to get up to go back to the basement, but a thought suddenly occurred to me and I sat back down in my chair. Thanks to this, Amber, who was trying to stand up together, put her butt on her chair with a confused look on her face.

“I have something special to ask of you.”

Ember nodded and with a familiar movement took out the document with Modest’s form from the drawer and prepared to fill it out.

“Yes, please ask me anything. Lady Estelle asked me to give Lily’s request the highest priority.”

Estelle, the most important person in our relationship, was an indispensable presence in our conversation. I smiled bitterly and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“… “Please investigate Nelson.”

“Are you the former academy principal?”

Amber’s eyes sparkled with interest and she quickly began filling out the documents. He said, recalling the woman named Mormot he met in her paradise.

“When you were vice principal, did you ever adopt a girl named Mormot? Or please check if Nelson has any other children or adopted children. “I also want to know information about a woman named Mormot.”

Amber nodded and filled out the document without asking why. While quietly looking at the paper being filled with letters, I added a word.

“… Also, please confirm that Nelson met Bella before Luna died.”

“All right. “I’ll find out as soon as possible.”

The pen that had been moving hard stopped for a moment, but soon it started moving again and started filling in the letters on the document. Having nothing more to ask, I took Ellie’s notebook, left a request, and headed to the basement.

The 5th floor of the labyrinth.

Inside the huge tower reaching up to the sky, which was the only way to the sixth floor of the endless plain and labyrinth, there lived more monsters than all the monsters on the continent. There were many monsters that disappeared from the continent, and monsters that were dismissed as legends were commonly seen in this tower.

This tower was called paradise for the monsters that lived on each floor, guarding the stairs leading to the upper floors of the tower. No shortage of resources, a perfect environment, and a floor that expands endlessly as the number of monsters increases. They adapted perfectly to this environment and lived. And I never forgot the teachings that had been handed down for a very long time.

It was a warning that as more people reach the top floor of the tower, resources and the environment rapidly decrease starting from the lowest floor. Therefore, the monsters living on each floor thought that stopping those trying to climb the stairs was a ‘duty’ more important than their own lives. In order not to lose paradise for his race, he desperately tried to prevent anything from climbing the stairs even if it appeared.

However, the group of humans that appeared this time climbed the stairs in the blink of an eye. As soon as the alarm sounded, the monsters on each floor stopped what they were doing and flocked to the stairs, but they had already killed all the elites guarding the stairs and went up the stairs. The monster’s response was fast, but the speed at which the group of humans climbed the stairs was even faster.

The lower levels of the tower were in chaos. They couldn’t stand by and watch their paradise get ruined even just a little bit. There was talk of somehow climbing the stairs and tracking down humans, and there were also suggestions of trusting other races guarding the upper floors. However, climbing the stairs was against the rules of the tower. No race dared to do such a thing.

Meanwhile, a servant of the Dragonian, a race that lives at the highest point of the tower and is in charge of maintaining and maintaining the tower’s balance, came down the stairs to settle the situation. Although it was expected that the problem would be resolved, the Dragonian’s minions delivered the Dragonian’s warning to the rulers of each floor not to pay attention to the human crowd.

Everyone was puzzled and asked the reason, and the servant answered that a group of humans had climbed the stairs, cleared the middle floor of the tower, and settled there. Since the group of humans seemed to have no intention of going up any further, the lower levels were told not to act rashly and just leave them alone.

“Are humans taking away the lives of monsters again?”

Tuhulakfu, the ruler of the fourth floor, the lizardmen’s paradise, roared, but did not dare ignore the Dragonian’s warning. As the level of the tower was determined by strength, the Dragonian was able to kill the strongest Lizardman warrior with just his breath.

If the rulers of other layers are also Dragonians, then so be it. With that thought, everyone forgot about the group of humans who had climbed the stairs. In the end, I thought Dragonian would solve all problems. I thought it was just their bad luck that the elves on the 8th floor lost their floor to humans.

A group of humans, the leader of the Chaos Cult and his followers Confsion are on the 8th floor of the tower. The elf paradise was completely destroyed. It was a great dress rehearsal for their blind goal of destroying the world. The countless elves who lived on the 8th floor were all dead, and the brilliant culture and legacy they left behind was consumed by chaos, leaving no trace.

And they all gathered on the stairs. The only thing left on the 8th floor was stairs to go up or down. However, the stairs were wide enough to be called a plain. So, we built a long wall like a castle wall and created a single ‘door’ through which you can climb the stairs.

“Do not allow anyone to climb to the 6th floor of the labyrinth.”

In response to the absolute orders of the religious leader from the headquarters of the newly born religious order beyond the door, the assistant religious leader and Confsion guarded the door to block anyone trying to climb the stairs like monsters on other floors.

“This will be the end of the story.”

It was a declaration from the religious leader.
