Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 219
By the time the heretic judges, who had been unconscious, came to their senses and maintained a neutral attitude after being informed of the situation through the saintess, the exploration of the cultist den began to look to the end.
Thanks to the cleanly sucked corpses, we easily finished the search, and we had to go back and forth between the first campsite and the cultist’s lair to move the loot. Among the belongings of the victims who were offered as sacrifices, the amount of things that seemed to be money was collected diligently, and the amount was considerable.
Most surprising of all was that despite the loss of thirty horses because of me, there were still ten horses left.
“There may have been forces supporting these guys.”
Gaendal’s opinion, muttering in agony, was perfectly reasonable. He could have escaped on horseback from the battlefield, but the upkeep of forty horses was nothing to belittle. It is highly likely that the sacrifices were piled up separately, and that they were involved in transactions with fences or other illegal forces.
“It would be better to tell the guild about this later.”
Sen also nodded and said, probably coming to a similar conclusion. It could be a simple fence, but it could also be a group of devil worshipers with a division of labor, so it would be better to warn them. Since the loot was overflowing anyway, it was a situation where I had to stop at a suitable city unlike when I came, so I decided to tell the story at that time.
While bringing all the loot back to the camp and sorting and organizing it, I showed Seneran the by-products the demons left behind, and he gave me a rather interesting answer.
“It’s a byproduct that demons often leave behind when they die.”
Seneran, who had correctly identified the disgusting mass even after showing it without any explanation, looked around but did not show much interest.
“You manage to look at that disgusting piece of flesh casually.”
Seeing him closely examining a mass that seemed to be moving at any moment was amazing, and when I unknowingly helped out with a word from the side, Seneran asked back with a strange expression.
“I didn’t expect you to say that. Don’t you think the corpses of the people cut up by your hands are more disgusting?”
“That’s nothing more than burning garbage, waste left behind by demons, isn’t it? Comparing the objection to a corpse, which is a part of the world, with something evil that shouldn’t exist in this world. I think it’s rude.”
“Wow, I’ve never seen a person like you who reacts as if a hatred for the devil is imprinted on their souls. Right now, the priest, the heretic judge of the Demonic Church, also responds better than you.”
In fact, rather than sympathizing with me, the saintess was looking at my demon hatred with Seneran as if in amazement.
no god They are worse quality than cockroaches and mosquitoes, but isn’t my reaction quite normal? i can’t understand
“Anyway, this is a very valuable item, regardless of your personal taste.”
Seneran continued, examining the lump that, to my eyes, looked no different than a lump of shit he had dumped.
“As you know from fighting, the body of a demon incarnated is very strong. It looks no different from a living being on the outside, but in reality it is more like an artifact made of magical power. In many ways, they are beings that make a very losing business.”
So, for quests like subjugation of demons, in most cases, after providing a recording device made in the demon library to adventurers who have definitely been verified, they receive it as proof of the completion of the request. I heard that in areas where support for such equipment is not readily available, there are not a few cases where compensation is in arrears until an investigation team is dispatched after the subjugation and clear traces are found.
Seneran’s evaluation can be said to be quite accurate, as there have been cases where he tried to eat adventurers as an excuse and was split from the top of his head.
“A very small percentage of demons leave behind these things, but the exact cause is still unknown. Regardless of the demon’s strength, they come out very indistinctly. Some speculate that they appear with a high probability if the process of gathering mana and forming a body is hastened. But… Actually, that’s not what’s important right now.”
The words she spat out in a casual way, digging her ears as if it were not a big deal, were shocking and did not match her attitude in the slightest.
“Because it’s important that a by-product of that size contains magic power. Even if it’s only put up for auction, it’s an item that will move at the price of five or more top gold coins.”
“… on? What?”
Did I hear you wrong now? I think I heard it’s the top gold coin?
Judging by the heads of the other people who were sorting out things around them turning at the same time and turning toward us, I must have heard them correctly. Seneran didn’t care about the reaction of those around him and threw the devil’s by-product to me with a light motion like a catch ball with a very calm attitude, and I hurriedly caught it with my whole body, fearing that it would be damaged if I dropped it.
Now it starts to look like gold instead of shit, so I can’t feel any disgust!
“The demand is certain, but the supply is short… Oh, the word is a bit difficult?”
“I know that much. More than that, I don’t understand why this is such a popular product?”
To modern people who dared to go to college, to brag about their academic abilities with mere words of supply and demand. The modern man’s pride almost got scratched, so he looked at it with a puzzled expression, but Seneran seemed to have lost interest in the by-products and began to lie down on his sleeping bag. It was said that he shot magic quite flashily, but he seemed to be quite tired.
“For some wizards, you can think of them as jewels. Since they are for research purposes, not decorations, they are expendable items, and difficult to obtain.
Do you treat such things like this? Truly a golden wizard.
I wanted to ask where it was used to make it so popular, but after hearing her conversation, other people flocked to look at the by-products, and it became a mess, so I handed the devil’s by-products to Mr. After giving it away, I decided to avoid the seat for now.
“Then Deoni Birei Heresy Judge? For now, shall we take a break and discuss the details with the others?”
“Bire is enough, Mr. Eldmia. First of all… I think that would be good. It’s a situation where I need some time to think about it too.”
After lightly bowing her head, the saintess headed for the tent that the other heresy judges were diligently erecting.
It’s late today anyway, so it’s better to have a conversation with a clear mind after waking up. I was also tired in many ways, so I headed to the tent where Asilie was.
“Is the story over?”
Asilie, who had taken off her shoes and lay down as if asleep, opened her eyes only to hear the sound of someone approaching, noticing that it was me. It seems that this older sister was also resting first because she overworked herself while performing spirit magic and magic at the same time.
Seeing that Relli and Merdella were in a similar situation, it might have been annoying in many ways if they hadn’t finished it quickly.
“Yeah. I think we’ll talk about the specifics tomorrow. We’re both tired today, so we finished it in moderation.”
“Huh. Why are people suddenly making a fuss?”
“Something fell on the devil I caught today, and it was very expensive. At least five gold coins from the top?
As I lay down next to her with her shoes off and her equipment loosely removed, Asilie, who wiggled and wiggled to create space, smiled lightly, surprised at the amount.
“Really, Eldy gets caught up in incidents wherever she goes. But this time, it comes with a big reward, so can you say it’s a relief?”
“It’s fortunate, isn’t it? To be honest, I’m thinking it’s fortunate that I brought Gaendal and Sen’s party. If only we had come, we wouldn’t have taken most of those things with us.”
“Worrying about the loot first rather than worrying about how difficult it would have been to fight, I guess it wasn’t that difficult for Eldi this time? He was a demon.”
“Um… I honestly did.”
The devil was beaten unilaterally as soon as the full-scale battle started because of the close compatibility with the extreme hard counter, and even though the cultists were at the level of using a knife, in the end, they could not exceed the limit of the deserter. Even those who could be called variables were destroyed in an instant by the appearance of the saintess and company.
While the story happened to come out, I decided to tell Asili the story of dealing with the devil and the saintess. Assilie quietly listened to the story that I might be the ultimate hard counter of the demons and that the god I had been praying for and believing in was Ephaga, the one I drank.
“It could be.”
It’s still hard to tell everything, so I skipped a lot more than I thought, but I was rather puzzled by the reaction that was so natural.
“Isn’t that too easy to accept?”
“To be honest, I think it makes no sense that Eldi uses magic.
indeed. wise and reasonable
