I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

Sophia, dressed in her pajamas and wearing a gown, approached Elam.

Elim smiled and shook her head once.

-He said he would not report anything about Keynes from now on.

“What is that… … .”

-Kaynes… … I would have accepted it as a contractor. It seems that he tried to hand over his own Spirit Stone.

Elim laughed a little at Endairon’s report, then smiled. As Endairon acted as if she were trying to escape from her parents’ arms, she let out a small sigh and scratched her head.

-And I heard that Keynes will never betray you? Besides, his emotional changes are slowly regaining stability, so don’t worry.

“… … I see.”

Sophia was slightly relieved by Elaim’s story, but slightly sullen at the fact that Kayneth was hiding something from her.

– You should go to sleep now.

“… … okay.”

Elim gently stroked Sophia’s hair.

Then she closed her eyes for a moment while looking at Sophia, who was asleep under the blanket.

– No way, I thought I’d capture that child’s heart. What the hell were you talking about?

Elaim struggled for a moment with thoughts about Endairon and Keynes.

and that time. Endairon, who came to visit the Ardennes headquarters, looked at Kaynes and Albert alternately with a slightly surprised expression.

Albert reports the work, and Keynes gives instructions with a cold look.

And when Albert finished the report and left Keynes’s office located on the top floor of the headquarters, Endairon sat down at the desk and began to look through the documents.

-Are you thinking of setting up a business?

“Yeah, I think so now. However, Sanghoe is just a means of securing funds to run this organization called Arden. What I really want is the various information I can get from this Labadian Empire. And even if I don’t move, it wouldn’t be bad to have military power that can easily solve trivial matters.”

In response to Kayneth’s answer, Endairon put the paper down on the desk while touching his chin.

-Hmm… … . Does this have anything to do with the original?

“I don’t know if I should say related. I just created an organization because I thought it would be necessary to know where they operate.”

-Can’t we just destroy the Spey One family?

At Endairon’s question, Kayneth shook his head.

“The spirit king Elaim’s ability is also determined by Sophia’s sister’s mana amount. But how did you defeat Grans, the 6th circle warlock? Besides, the Speywon family is one of the families in charge of the church’s finances. If I touch it carelessly and the fighters of the Death Parade target me and Sophia… … It will be quite a headache.”

– Then now is the time to be strong… … I mean.

Keynes nodded.

Even in the case of the leader, I couldn’t tell if it was the 7th or 8th circle.

A hasty action will only tighten your breath.

‘… … Besides, some high-ranking officers, including Grans, must have already awakened as demons.’

The church used sacrifices to summon demons from the underworld. Then he killed them and retrieved their bodies, and used the bodies to awaken some of the church members as demons.

“By the way, many of the nobles of this Labadian Empire are already cooperating with the Death Parade Church. It means that it is possible to accuse us of being traitors if we set our minds to it.”

-surely… … This and that hurts my head.

“Whoa, so now I have to hope that my sister will move as in the original story. And their help as helpers… … .”

It would be a bit ambiguous to call them helpers. Because the original novel was a reverse harem fantasy novel of Yeoju.

Several men gather around Sophia. All of them had special abilities in areas such as economy, swordsmanship, and magic.

-Among them, Kenneth, what kind of existence were you?

At Endairon’s question, Kayneth hesitated for a moment.

“… … It’s just a supporting role. A person who will later die at the academy.”

-… … .

Endairon was silent for a moment.

and… … .

-If it were you now, things would be different.

“… … it should be Otherwise, all efforts made so far will be in vain. And did you say I will survive to the end, marry a pretty and kind wife, give birth to children, and live 50 years.”

– Kkeuk… … .

Endairon let out a small laugh.

The ability that Keynes possessed was truly unbelievable.

A fraud-level ability that could gain power close to that of the Spirit King, if only gold coins were held in the hand. But even with that kind of power, she wished for a simple dream no different from that of ordinary humans.

“It may look simple in your eyes, but many people find it difficult to achieve this simple dream. The same goes for the guy named Albert who just reported to me. He had a difficult life even eating one meal a day.”

– Hmmm, that’s it too.

It is the same on Earth.

In a capitalist society where there is a gap between the rich and the poor, the lower class had to live a hard life day by day.

In addition, there is fierce competition for employment. How difficult it is to receive a monthly salary of 3 million won.

For Kayneth, who remembered it, the simplicity he dreamed of was so desperate.

“The original novel was not finished. I don’t know how the future will change, but at least I don’t want my sister to get hurt. Because they are my only family now.”

Endairon closed his eyes and nodded once.

“Anyway, I’ll have to go to the auction house soon. I was wondering how much the auction items registered yesterday would be sold for.”

The only entertainment Kayneth could enjoy. That was an auction.

Keynes led the brokerage transaction between the gold shop and the auction house, as if making a fortune in a game.

He even received 360 gold coins by sending an art piece secured from Celtrocell to the auction house, and he did shadow boxing in the air with joy.

“Now, how much can I really earn today?”

Keynes showed the VIP membership to the auction house attendant.

And I sat in the VIP seat guided by the staff.

“The fifth auction item is ‘Aria’s Tears’ made 300 years ago by the famous craftsman Rousseau! Its refreshing appearance appears before your eyes.”

With the voice of the presenter, a necklace with a blue jewel came up on the podium, and the nobles, whose hobbies were collecting, busily held up their numbers and shouted the amount.

and… … .

“That’s what I registered for.”

As Kayneth muttered, Endairon’s gaze turned to the podium.

“I showed up today to soothe your pain. Even in the Labadian Empire, it is said that only a few are produced per year… … Top class potion!”

Currently, the Labadian Empire is still in the middle of a war with the Northern Alliance, is that because of that?

The eyes of some nobles changed.

‘Surely, in the previous war, you said that the Labadian Empire army was greatly defeated, right? Among them, many aristocrats are said to have been seriously injured… … .’

What if someone in your family is seriously injured on the battlefield? Obviously, they will try to buy it even if it is too much.

And as Kenneth expected… … .

“390 coins!”

“400 coins!”

“I will pay you 450 coins!”

The amount skyrocketed like crazy.

Not only Keynes, but also Endairon couldn’t hide his surprise.

-If it’s a top-notch potion, it can activate cells temporarily to regenerate arms and legs like a lizard… … .

Literally temporary.

However, in that short moment, the cells were activated at an ultra-high speed, and the abnormal symptoms in the body, including the cut off area, were alleviated.

The detailed principle was unknown. In the first place, the existence of a potion itself is not a realistic medicine.

“500 coins!”

I broke 500 gold coins before I knew it.

“… … Is this unexpected?”

No way, to break through 500 gold coins. This is an additional 100% of the cost.

Kayneth put on an excited expression.

Was the presenter excited too?

He began to raise his voice in the face of soaring bid prices.

Episode 17

17. Ardennes (6)

“Among the highest-quality potions sold at Karvan’s Night Auction, the highest price ever!”

The host’s shout made the atmosphere even hotter.

But the upward trend did not stop.

“530 coins!”

“550 coins!”

“profit… … ! 560 coins!”

It seems that someone has gone through this.

Well, it’s not something that will be auctioned off at such a high price.

When Hanwha surpassed the 5.6 billion won mark, Keynes tilted his head with a bewildered expression.

‘Does that mean you’re in such a hurry?’

The moment Keynes looked at the customers participating in the auction, a man wearing a wolf mask flashed his numbered ticket! Lifted.

“I’ll buy it for 1,000 coins.”

The voice of the old man silenced the audience.

In the midst of the silence, Keynes got up with his hips bobbing.

Rumble!

“Ji, what now… … .”

Like Keynes, the presenter opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry. It seems I didn’t hear it properly, but how much… … .”

“It’s 1,000 gold coins. 200 gold coins and 8 platinum coins.”

“ah… … .”

The presenter was stunned for a moment.

The highest amount that broke all-time records.

The presenter, who swallowed one gulp, immediately shouted in a loud voice.

[That, 1,000 gold coins! 1,000 gold coins are here! If there are no more, the auction will end in 5 seconds. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… … .]

bang! bang! bang!

While the presenter counted 5 seconds, no one was able to pick up a numbered ticket.

dump.

Kayneth murmured softly as he sat down in his seat.

“… … 400%.”

The highest quality potion purchased at the Gold Shop for 250 gold coins was auctioned off at four times the price.

Endairon let out a small groan at the sight of Kayneth’s wide-eyed eyes and crossed his arms.

– It seems to have sold for a high price.

He murmured softly, and Kayneth put his right hand on his forehead while laughing.

“Rather than just being sold at a high price… … It’s absolutely amazing. Because I made up for 30% of the net profit I could get in a week with that one.”

A net profit of 750 gold coins.

Subsequently, all the auction items registered by Keynes were sold at exorbitant prices.

what the hell is this… … .

When 1 kg of Orichalcon, which had been exhibited at the auction house for the first time in 4 months, was also sold for a ridiculous price, Keynes was able to leave the auction house with a happy expression while bursting out laughing.

* * *

When the successful bidders paid the price and went to pick up the goods, I also handed the number ticket to the reception desk and was handed a huge bag of gold coins.

“Oh, you look even bigger today.”

A female clerk at the auction house handed me a heavy pouch and said,

OK… … .

“I see.”

Despite the employee’s surprise, I answered in the most calm voice.

Fortunately, the gold shop was handling platinum coins properly. This means that the value of one platinum coin is properly reflected in 100 gold coins.

That’s how I secured 670,000 GP gold points in just one day.

“… … .”

Although my face was covered with an eagle mask, I bit my lip and trembled with joy.

-… … Are you that happy?

“of course.”

I answered Endairon’s question without hesitation.

“First of all, keep about 500 gold coins in Arden’s budget, and exchange all the rest for gold points… … .”

I pictured the 5th circle in my head.

A total of 962,500 GP is currently charged in the Gold Shop. I smiled a little at the gold points that had already surpassed 900,000.

After a while, I stroked my chin and fell into trouble.

‘… … What should I do?’

Currently, the Spay One auction house is calling me the owner of gold. It is because he is scratching a large amount of gold coins by exhibiting rare items every time.

I couldn’t help but get attention from a lot of people.

‘It’s better to develop strength just in case.’

I purchased 50 Holy Water of Wiria for 1,000 GP, [one step to becoming a former king-class wizard, 5th circle basic course], [one step to a former king-class wizard, 5th circle advanced course] did.

A total of 450,000 GP was used.

“Is the master course 350,000GP?”

– Hey, hey, wait a minute. What did you do?

Endairon asked in a puzzled voice.

Come to think of it, this guy was next to me, right? It seems that he forgot his existence because he was excited for a while.

I’ve already explained the gold shop, but since I’ve never personally seen the process of increasing my strength, he must have been quite embarrassed by the current situation.
