Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 662

As expected, Este screamed and screamed about her own divinity, but my nerves were already at the point where I could hear her arguments on one side and let them flow on the other.

To be honest, it was a bit difficult to ignore the cries of the warriors who rushed in like a swarm and made a fuss asking to see it, but somehow I was able to look at the magical organ coated on the sword and contemplate.

I was a bit skeptical because I couldn’t see the magic organ with my eyes… but no matter how many times I checked, it was definitely a magic organ. It was a finished product that functioned so well that it was hard to believe it was made from just a piece of scale.

There were three possibilities: Ephaga gave her protection, Baazkal gave her blessing, or Niath-Ezelf gave her a gift. Naturally, the first possibility is naturally discarded by the law of elimination.

If that were the case, Este would have noticed it long ago.

“Why don’t you try harder and try the rest too?”

[···It’s not a matter of effort. Even the owner feels like ‘I can’t eat any more’ when he eats the food. That’s what it is.]

And based on Este’s claim and the fact that there were three Yongrin, the possibility that it was a gift from Niath Ezelf is also low. In the first place, no one knew that Este had this ability, and even if Niath Ezelf alone knew that fact thanks to living for thousands of years, how could he know which of the three he would use and do something like this?

“I don’t know the cause… It seems that Bazcal has favored me.”

Only after making that judgment did he shrug his shoulders and hand over the esthetics to the warriors, and then he brought up the last possibility as calmly as possible.

The warriors who had rushed towards Este at that moment looked at her with expressions of disbelief and gazes full of the meaning of ‘You really end the situation with just those words…?’ However, even if you think about it more, the fact that you can’t know is the same, so what does it matter if it’s like this or that?

As expected, even though the warriors held onto Este and wrestled with her for a long time, there was no answer.

“Ah, ah, I’m sorry for being rude. It’s not that I don’t have any regrets, but since you’re busy, I don’t think it’s polite to be greedy and waste your time any more.”

“Hahaha, I also received a lot of help, so this is okay.”

It must not be just my illusion that the beards of the brave generals who were waiting for me to say that it would be okay to look into it a little more seemed to have lost their energy. I feel sorry for them, but I was also in a position where I couldn’t just waste time since I was helping the church.

I don’t know if it was because I drew a clear line, but the warriors gave up quickly. Maybe it was because of the Jangseongjong’s unique belief that today was not the only day, but even while I was wearing pouches and belts made to my request in addition to armor, they no longer paid attention to Este.

“I will make sure to carry out what you have said as soon as possible. I hope that only blessings will come to you in the future.”

As I left the workshop, leaving behind the warriors who were politely bowing to me, led by General Miwood, as if nothing had happened, the captain of the guards, who had been stamping his feet without any room to get in, approached me cautiously and asked me a question.

“Wherever you go, you always find something new.”

“I’m also dissatisfied with that. I don’t have any free time in my life right now.”

On the surface, I thought it would be a humorous answer since I was only 16, but contrary to my expectations, the reporters just nodded with serious expressions.

“Still, somehow, we managed to finish our schedule here safely. You can now take the train back to the vampire town whenever you want, Hero… What will you do?”

If all my business is over, I should go back, but the fact that I asked for it means that there are still some small things left to do. Fortunately, I didn’t have much business that could be called my own during this visit to the Dwarf Kingdom, so it wasn’t that difficult to infer this.

“It looks like the byproduct settlement hasn’t been finalized yet.”

Even though he didn’t say it in a particularly reprimanding tone, the captain of the guard bowed his head as if he felt sorry. In the first place, it’s not up to the knights to buy or sell things, but seeing them react like that makes me feel sorry.

“It is true that there are many records to refer to because many transactions have taken place, but it has been a long time since the property was put up for sale, so the price seems to be fluctuating in various ways. They say they are working hard for the best result, but···”

Even if I wanted to wait, I couldn’t afford to delay any longer because the world didn’t stop while I was resting. The captain of the guard probably knows that too and feels sorry as if it were his own business.

“Since it’s an item, finding a buyer will be a problem. I think I should leave the transaction to the negotiator and go back. King Dena has also said that he won’t be keeping us around, so we can just go with this, right?”

“Yes, I was informed that the repairs to the train and the tracks have been completed, so you can return home whenever you want. They also said they will contact you separately at a better time.”

I am grateful for the consideration of the generals and King Dena who did not arrest me right away, so it is ridiculous to waste time trying to feel the money that will come in anyway.

“Good. I’ll go back.”

Now is the time to go back cleanly. The knights, including the captain of the guard, accepted my decision without a second thought and went back to their quarters to pack their bags.

In that way, we were able to prepare for our return in such a short time that our stay felt like a lie.

◈

Ambassador Huelgen turned his head out the window without realizing it, hearing the sound of a train coming from afar.

He could tell the difference between trains just by the sound of the engine, so he knew it was an imperial train the moment he heard it. He turned his head reflexively, not because of the train, but because of the passengers on board.

“I wonder if it wasn’t right to at least ask for a favor. Are you regretting it so much?”

The king’s voice coming from the throne is calm. Even though all the vassals gathered here are at a loss due to the seriousness, he knew how to maintain his dignity as a king.

“Don’t be sad. Thanks to General Miwood’s successful deal, you’ll be in a position to ask for help at any time.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust my brothers in the kingdom, but…”

“The size of the enemy is so big that you must be feeling anxious. There is no fool here who can misinterpret your intentions, so you don’t need to be so careful.”

The joke that King Dena made was a bit silly, but the vassals all agreed and burst into laughter. It was not an action that came from the idea of ​​laughing even when sad because the king said it, but an action that came from the desire to lighten the serious atmosphere a little and come up with a solution.

The kingdom’s front was turning urgently.

If King Dena had not expressed negative opinions, no one would have tried to come forward and negotiate with the warriors of Mashin or the empire.

“It is true that the number of monsters like worms has increased, and it is also true that the situation is so urgent that we have to pull trains from all over the kingdom and turn them around for defense. However, Eldmia is a warrior of the Demon God.”

Even though he didn’t take off his helmet, his expression was unknown. However, King Dena’s voice was calm as he spoke about the reality of the kingdom. Thanks to this, his vassals were able to infer what King Dena would say next.

“We can endure even if the damage is severe, but the Masin Church cannot. We have a few more months left even if the kingdom is in danger of being overthrown, but they cannot. I think everyone knows that there is no use in trying to hold onto their hopes.”

King Dena’s words were correct. Everyone thought so. At the same time, they could not shake off their regret because of the anxiety brought about by the imminent threat. King Dena also understood the feelings of his vassals, so instead of saying more, he decided to return to the main topic.

“Have you even heard of it? The movements of those coming over from the border have changed in a planned manner?”

“Yes, the four-legged ones are not much different from the past… but the two-legged ones are the problem.”

Clearly conveying ‘orders’ and changing the movement of the troops. The report from the dwarf sitting in the general’s seat was enough to further depress the mood.

There are few who do not know that Niath-Ezelf is called the Lord of Winter and that he has declared the entire frozen mountain range as his territory and protects it. However, even fewer people know exactly ‘what’ he is protecting the mountain range from.

That was also the wish of Niath Ezelf. He thought that it would be no good if the fact spread widely that beyond the frozen mountain range there was a land that was so corrupted by evil spirits that there was no way to deal with it, and that unidentified monsters were being born there even at this very moment.

It is a threat that cannot be completely eradicated and a threat that can be blocked. He judged that if the whole world were to know about the problem that cannot be completely solved anyway, it would only result in people belittling the achievements of the past gods and increase the number of followers of evil gods.

Until now, that judgment seemed to be correct, but recently, something has started to go wrong.

“These days, the Demon King’s army uses the power of the evil gods and even creates followers of the evil gods to do so… It’s good that we don’t have to worry about why such deformed people suddenly start appearing.”

It was a joke that made everyone burst into laughter, but this time, no one could laugh easily.

For some reason, the evil spirit’s energy was being born and its followers were slowly regaining their former power.
