Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 314

I was surprised because I did not expect that Ekatrina, whom I regarded as a perfect warrior, would have a weakness, but I did not intend to play around with it, so I just tried to move on.

“I’m high, but I’m good at climbing. In Lovell…”

Yekatrina started making cute excuses hurriedly, as if she had been exposed to the worst of her past. Well, I climbed the tallest tree in Lovell’s Keel Mountains. Anyway, the stories were obviously out of the ordinary… It felt like it, so there was little inspiration.

She did not give up until after asking Visquente for an appropriate understanding and moved her seat, and only after adjusting to Ekatrina, who denied her fear of heights, she stopped speaking satisfactorily.

no wait Are you so confident that the excuse worked? After all, was the appearance of a civilized warrior often shown wrong? Seeing that, one day, when Yekatrina uses an aura, she wants to join Eldmia’s flying dragon diving and show off her spicy taste.

“Did the other people decide to ride the dragon?”

“No. I’m the only one here this time.”

“Huh? Weren’t you going to a party?”

When I asked back at the very unexpected answer, Ekaterina licked her lips and explained.

“Lellie originally stayed in her room for research in the winter, and Mr. Gin said that he helped out with an acquaintance’s workshop for circumstances. And Mr. Gaendal decided to go back to his hometown during this winter. A mountain village that is rarely visited. That’s why they often go down in winter to clean up the area around the village.”

Just as cities want to have adventurers in the winter, even small towns want adventurers who, if possible, can slay the monsters that attack the village during the winter. Of course, it costs a lot of money, so it’s usually hard to hire even a government official, but I never thought he would take care of his hometown that much.

“Hey, a town that uses enemy class adventurers as winter adventurers. I can brag about it anywhere.”

“Hahaha! Who said no? Anyway, that’s why I came here.”

It was a disappointing story, but it was really fortunate that Ekatrina didn’t go anywhere. To be honest, in the current situation, he was a more reliable colleague than anyone else.

“It’s really fortunate that Ekatrina didn’t have any problems. It didn’t look easy to deal with the orcs while protecting the village. Thanks to that, I was relieved.”

In the first place, when dealing with guys like Orcs, Yekatrina and Mr. Gin are the best talents. You can’t fall for the magician Lelly, but it’s not easy to protect the magician because they push and see with their bodies. Even if you burn dozens of them at the same time, dozens of them will step on the burned corpses and run after them.

For now, since we are working together with Visquente, we decided to discuss the details at a later meal, and returned to our seats after telling them the location of the hall. Then Visquente, who had been examining Ekaterina with great interest, implied a question.

“Could that be Catherine of the famous siege tower?”

“Uh… I think there was a nickname like that. How did you know?”

I was able to fully understand from the short amount of time that I was interested in rumors and stories, but did Ekatrina know? I wondered if he had a great interest in adventurers, but the answer was unexpected.

“About three years ago, she was famous for her bravery for a brief moment on the battlefield in the west, where there were frequent land battles. In one land, her war hammer severely dented the iron gate, allowing people to enter without even bowing their heads. He said it was enough.”

What the hell were you doing? It was a ridiculous story, but it seemed so possible that I couldn’t react properly, but Visquente burst out laughing and continued.

“Oops, I guess you didn’t know. I know that the nickname of the siege ball came about at that time.”

“I just thought that War Hammer was called that because it was as big as a battering ram.”

“That’s not wrong either. Anyway, at the time, it was very famous that a dragon descended from Lovell.”

“Dragon… Are you referring to the dragon blood clan of Lovell?”

“That’s right. It’s a clan that believes that their ancestors inherited the blood of dragons. It’s a story that the neighboring countries are talking about… but in reality, among the heroes of Lovell, people with skin like steel and people who can walk in fire often appear. It’s very likely true.”

And there was a possibility that Ekaterina might have been given superpowers by that characteristic. This is a series of surprises. Come to think of it, I said at the first meeting that I have the ability to respond to spirits to some extent. Maybe that’s part of the ability of blood relatives…

…huh? something weird?

“Could it be that the only rumors spread at that time were Ekaterina? No rumors about the wizard she was with?”

“Ah, you’re referring to Rellie, the magician who embraces the stars. Are you sure she goes with you too?”

“Yes…well, I heard they didn’t accept this request due to personal reasons…” ” Ah! What a pity. It’s not

common to have a chance to see people worthy of being called heroes…”

I was very sorry, but I couldn’t even match it properly because I was rummaging through the memories of the past.

Apparently, on the day she met Rellie at the market after robbing Envelde’s mansion and being released from prison, she said that she acquired knowledge related to reagent manufacturing in Lovell and came to accompany Ekatrina. And when I asked the braggart Gish about the Dragonblood Clan…

As if it had nothing to do with Ekaterina at all.

“Still, even one person has come, so there is no such thing as a thousand troops or horses. I think there will be many things to tell my father when I go back.”

The polite Visquente once again aroused my admiration by acting as if she had never seen anything like it, despite seeing Ekatrina scrambling to refute my statement that she was afraid of heights right in front of her nose. My reaction didn’t last long.

I don’t know the details, but Lely definitely has a special friendship with Ekaterina. It was to the point where I called her by the nickname Kasha when I was drunk. There’s no way he doesn’t know the story of the battlefield he just heard from Visquente.

Did you hide it? why? Aren’t you friends yet? Or is there a good reason? If it’s the latter, why else would you have to hide that you’re a member of the Dragonblood Clan?

“Ummm…Are they really royalty…?”

I was a little hesitant about something, but I decided to push it into my head somewhere with a shake of my head. It’s not like it hurt me or something. Even so, it doesn’t seem like they’re being chased by anything, so there won’t be anything bad about them.

Even if something happens, there is no turning back on a competent colleague who has no reputation.

After organizing my thoughts like that, time passed without much happening. The sun began to set before we knew it, just by welcoming the steady stream of adventurers and exchanging opinions on the current situation with Visquente from time to time.

“Then, this time, it’s a story that may have been caused by a gate that was left unattended or the demons arbitrarily installed.”

“It may sound like a far-fetched story, but personally, it is. From what I’ve experienced in the Empire, they even managed to build their own gates.”

The story of discovering the gate of the demons for the first time in the abandoned dungeon was strictly a secret, so I couldn’t tell it here, so when I took the example of the Empire, Visquente nodded with a serious face and took my opinion seriously.

“Then, I’d rather hope that the gate was installed by demons. If it was used in ancient times, it would be rather troublesome.”

“Can you tell me why?”

“As you know, now there is a limit to the distance of the gate due to the limitations of degenerate magism, but it wasn’t like that in the ancient times when it was shining brightly. As for the Orcs who have the greatest power in the steppe? The Orcs that Sir Ega discovered are only the vanguard.”

Visquente’s remarks, which keenly dig into things I hadn’t thought of at all, made me serious without even realizing it. To be honest, I have no idea how many green monsters live in the prairies beyond the Western Kingdoms, but Visquente didn’t seem like the type to worry about trivial matters.

Sure enough, he quickly erased his serious expression and spoke cheerfully, as if trying to lighten the mood.

“It is right to be vigilant over things that are not yet known, but I have learned that worrying is a problem. For now, it would be the right choice to wait for Asili-sama to return after scouting.”

He’s a smart guy indeed. After such a brief thought, we left our seats and headed for the hall only after the pilot who had disembarked from the last flying dragon notified that there would be no more adventurers today.

The number of adventurers who arrived today was about 50. Since only the red rank was thirty and the blue rank was twenty, it can be said that the power was replenished in an instant.

“The number of adventurers increased, and the Orcs were quiet…”

It was a day that was rightly called the eve of the storm, but fortunately, it was fortunate.

Thinking positively and thinking that it was time for Asilie to return, it wasn’t long before I stepped forward, but Asilie appeared like a ghost from a distance.

To be precise, I found it a little late, and it seemed that she had already found me from afar and was waving her hand first. At first, she smiled spontaneously at her appearance, but as she got closer, she realized that her face was quite serious, and she had a hunch that something had happened.

“Eldy! Orcs have increased!”

No matter where you go in the world, it seems that fucking clichés are inevitable.
