I Became the Wrong Race

59 – Building a Nest (7)

“It’s annoying.”

“… Huh?”

Of course, it wasn’t bad to listen to. It felt good just thinking about the future where I would be called the Lord of the Castle.

It wasn’t the journey I wanted.

“In the end, it doesn’t mean you have to be tied up here and managed.”

“Yeah, that’s true, but if you take care of only the important issues and I help or get a representative for the rest-“

“I want to go on an adventure.”

I don’t like to interrupt, but Lorian’s rebuttal was getting longer.

Of course, I understood the intention. I could understand why he thought that way and why he came to recommend it to me.

“And above all… “Isn’t it too early to say that I won’t rise to the level of national defense?”

She wasn’t a player like me.

The status window was something that only my eyes could see, and she didn’t understand how this world worked.

“Easier said than done… “Do you know what kind of person the Guardian of the Nation is?”

Lorian’s tone became a little harsh. I could understand it.

Lucilla, the protector of the country.

Also, the person presumed to be my older sister was clearly the main character of the game.

It is a being that has lived since the first work of the series, crushing the conspiracy of three clans, and is one of the few monsters in the world that is officially level 20 and classified as the strongest monster in existence.

That was national defense.

“Ho Border first killed a weaponized homunculus when she was just an adventurer. “You are strong now, but that homunculus was a different being.”

I remembered the setting. Information that can be guessed from the flavor text of the item that appears when searching the corpse of a homunculus.

“It was the most successful work of ‘Reconstruction of the Eucharist.’ “He is the closest being to his ‘father’s’ body, and is a monster created with the essence of the clan’s technology.”

The first final boss of the Grim Darker series and the reason I continued to stick with the Homunculus Mourner build.

Assassins of the Five Archdukes. Lucilla, it looks like my sister killed it herself.

“Do you think that’s the end? It was thought that he was barely killed, but he was revived using technology from the Heresy Inquisition. We even became a homunculus by injecting factors from what we considered the most successful creation.”

She contorted her face into a serious expression. It was because her memories she was humiliating.

“The only one with magical power, a soul, and not subject to our control… No, Yuihan Homunculus.”

From then on, Lorian’s story felt closer to a complaint.

It seemed like that too. It is the failure of the three clans, and it was also her failure not long ago.

Even Isla, who had been looking at Lorian with her longing eyes recently, silently pitied her.

But to me, it didn’t feel like it was just a story of Lorian’s failure

Rather, Lorian’s story was a means for me to guess what happened in this world.

At the same time, it was the path my older sister walked.

I didn’t know what kind of lust my sister had for me, or whether it was really lustful.

She was still my sister. I couldn’t help but notice the whereabouts of my only family

“The number of our agents killed during the civil war was beyond what you can imagine. Absurdly, I knew he was an agent before even saying a word.”

The tendency remained the same. My sister didn’t hesitate to get her hands dirty for the best results.

“The strategic plan is evaluated as poor, but that does not mean that its skills are inferior. Defeating the army by defeating five hired Sword Saint candidates at the same time, and defending the castle alone were shocking even within the clan.”

The story’s movements were followed almost exactly. Is it impossible to allow long-term plans to go astray due to unpredictable variables?

“An acquired homunculus. He is of high value as a test subject, but not as valuable as you. Having magic and soul isn’t that important to us. “It would be great to come from the human race.”

My older sister started out as a human and became a homunculus as if continuing through the second part of the save.

It seemed like an intentional choice considering that the main character dies and is resurrected in Part 2, and can then change races.

It was a bit unexpected that he maintained his magic power and even retained his soul.

Is there a difference between the game and reality systems?

“The Guardian also blocked the plan to develop the empire, use it as a seedbed, and gather the necessary resources for my father. At there…”

Lorian, who was speaking, suddenly stopped. Beneath the painful expression, a sense of frustration is clearly revealed.

She took a moment to catch her breath and then shook her head.

“Anyway, do you think you can rise to that level? Of course, your potential is great. Being martial isn’t bad, and more than anything, I have my father’s kindness, so if I do well, I’ll be able to reach the level of a swordsman candidate.”

Her bright red eyes she look at me. How do I appear in her eyes?

The king’s timber?

The Second Coming of the Father?

“But no matter how strong you become, you are still just prey for the clan. Especially if you think about your worth…”

“Who do you think I can rule over and what can I do?”

“I am. “If it were me, I could be by your side, assist you, and take care of you.”

Lorian looks at me with an expression filled with emotions, as if filled with sorrow. Even Isla couldn’t join in on that expression.

“So please do me a favor. Please become the lord of the castle…”

“I don’t like it.”

Is this the expression that the sky has fallen? It was my first time seeing a person make this kind of facial expression.

Although he did not shed any tears, his expression did not seem strange, so I quickly opened my mouth.

“Don’t misunderstand. That doesn’t mean I won’t grant what you want. But…”

“All, just? What? “Tell me quickly.”

Before I know it, he comes over and grabs my collar. She thought it was a fuss, but it occurred to her for a moment that maybe it wasn’t for her.

She betrayed her clan and chose to stay near me. Wouldn’t it be similar to giving up on her family and running away for love?

Of course, I couldn’t understand because I was an orphan and lacked the sensitivity of a normal person, but still.

“I will become stronger.”

“… “What?”

“Seven contractors to the Tiger Guard, the Incandescent Ball, the Sword Saint, and the Dragon King. Whoever it is… “You will never be stronger than me.”

Lorian looked confused, but came to his senses when Isla’s hand gently wrapped around his wrist hers.

Isla’s hard blue-gray eyes meet Lorian’s nervously trembling red eyes.

Isla trusted me. I don’t know if it’s my personality like that, or if there’s another reason.

If I think about it, she said that one day she would risk her life for me.

“My qualities will be greater than anyone else’s in this world.”

“What are you saying…” .”

Lorian with a devastated expression.

I reached out to her and stroked her hair.

She came to her senses late and took a step back, making a whooshing sound, but her hair was already a mess.

“Just wait and see.”

Clearly, no matter how much time my sister spent in this world, she became stronger by receiving all kinds of story rewards and experience points.

Unlike me, my older sister seems to have magic, charm, and inspiration.

A sister like that would also be powerful, even so.

“Because I will become stronger than the Guardian.”

It was me, not my sister, who was better at painting.

My build is perfect.

“That’s what I said, but that doesn’t mean I won’t use this nest.”

A pouting Lorian sits gloomily and then raises her head.

The bewildered expression on his face seemed to convey all kinds of unspoken profanity.

“We will use this as a base to some extent, but we will actively manage it and gather people… “Don’t expect such behavior befitting a castle lord.”

“I thought you were saying you weren’t going to use it at all…” ” !”

The blood in the eyes becomes stronger. Were there any signs like that in blood magic?

Even as I thought and saw his eyes gradually turning bright red, I spoke without being scared.

“I’m not an idiot, so why wouldn’t I use the phone I already have?”

“… Tell?”

Lorian has a puzzled expression. I nodded at the man who was coming down the stairs and scratching his stomach.

“If possible, we are planning to install teleportation signals wherever we think it is safe. Then, we can minimize camping and prepare a shelter to evacuate in case of emergency.”

As she sat down on the floor, Isla laid her head on her legs as if she had been waiting for her. Isla flicked her tail.

It was Isla who directly mentioned the refuge. I also have no intention of using it as a castle or becoming its lord, but it wasn’t a bad idea to have at least one refuge.

“Then we will have to investigate the teleportation device, but there are no wizards or alchemists among us.”

“No. Isla is a hunter, Ajae is a mourner, and I am also a mourner. You…”

“Even blood knights only use a few blood magics for combat.”

“Yes.”

“Then how can you…” “Without becoming the lord of the castle?” ?”

No, I thought I could just figure it out, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it wasn’t that easy.

This was an ancient device.

Even the principle of it has not been identified, and it is something made with completely out-of-the-box technology.

Usually, it is difficult to even understand.

That’s why Lorian thought so.

We have to research and understand with the help of wizards and alchemists.

And I finally realized that it was common sense.

The strange one was me.

No, to be exact, I was not normal with the status window.

[You found out about the Pantheon’s teleportation!]

I saw it in a dream. Not my dream, but someone else’s memory.

Even though I couldn’t figure it out with just that, I figured it out.

No, it would be correct to say that the status window notified me.

Only then did a thought occur to me.

What on earth is this status window?

What is it that gives me these abilities?

I thought that something given without compensation was a power that could be taken away at any time.

Could it be that this world is like a trap created by some powerful being that feeds my soul and then eats it?

It was scary to even imagine it, but intuitively I thought it couldn’t be like that.

Even if that were the case, there’s nothing I can do about it.

It is right to be wary of why the status window is giving me power, but it is right to use what is given to me.

“Well, when I sleep… “Someone showed me how to make and use it.”

Lorian blinks. There was doubt in the eyes beneath the long, pure white eyelashes.

“I thought it was me because it looked just like me… The atmosphere was a bit different. What should I say, he is kind…”

“… No way!”

Only then did Lorian’s expression come to life. A look of surprise yet joy.

I nodded, hoping not to be caught.

“Maybe what you think is right. “I’m not sure.”

“Ah, father… You were looking down on us…”

Lorian is so moved with a reverential attitude that he looks like he’s about to shed tears.

I was relieved.

And then she looked at me and smiled softly, shaking her head slightly.

If you get caught, you’ll be screwed. I can’t even explain it.

So I quickly took control of the situation before Lorian came to his senses. Fortunately, there was the material for that.

“Look at this. This sphere. “There’s something that wasn’t there yesterday.”

On the sphere I pointed to, there was a blue dot at a little distance that I had not seen yesterday.

The flickering appearance was not unfamiliar.

And it wasn’t difficult to guess what it was.

[You can create a teleportation signal by processing blue minerals acquired in the New World, and teleport to the nest through a dedicated platform within the radius where the signal is installed!]

If you want to use this teleportation device, you need a dedicated platform and signal, and if you want to manufacture it, you need something called blue mineral.

Something I’ve never seen before.

If it was a game, there happened to be a teleportation device nearby.

Or, it was right to allow the first teleportation to a place where the resource can be obtained.

“If you don’t believe me, should I go? The person you assume to be your father said that if you go here, there are ingredients for a teleportation device.”

Even before the excitement subsides.

Lorian, excited by the intentional drop and exaltation, hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

I was relieved.

Because there is a basic likability given by a father.

And the fact that Lorian is a blood knight who doesn’t know much about the world.

However, something came to mind at the same time, so I added it right away.

“Isla and I will manage the funds.”

“Yes? Yes, do whatever you want.”

Because I thought that if he had it, he would definitely get scammed.
