Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 350

“What an unbelievable savage. I can’t believe the Empire was behind him.”

Oswal, the agent, grinded his teeth while wiping the non-stop bleeding from his nose. He was annoyed that his well-dressed clothes were covered in blood all the way to his chest, and it was annoying that the crowd looked at him and the ear hunters following him. Every time the horse takes a step, his nose throbs, making it painful to even breathe.

It was a fact that I already knew that the ear hunters did not intervene. It was such a contract in the first place, and this time, the purpose was to instill helplessness and fear in the enemy while making sure the target was clear.

But after getting hit again, it felt different.

It was Eldmia’s fault for acting so ignorantly, but it was hard to see the Ear Hunters giggling as well. Even Eldmia, whether it was acting or taking her words as lies, or whether she was really crazy or not, was not afraid and was quite confident.

In the end, it’s just that you don’t get the results you want. I have no choice but to feel sorry.

Still, he was going to die soon. Oswal took a few deep breaths and asked the ear hunter.

“…what do you think?”

“what?”

I was annoyed by the short talk that came back, but I decided to ignore it because he was a cheeky guy who spat it out even to his owner. Above all, behind his arrogance, there was enough skill to back him up.

He was the one who was able to fight comfortably even with the three knights who served his master. Oswal continued, looking at the guy who would have become a famous knight somewhere else if he wasn’t an elf hunter.

“If you’re a skilled person like you, you’ll know just by looking at it. How was his skill?”

“You’re sick.”

The ear hunter answered with a shrug and added an explanation while recalling the memory with a smileless face.

“It’s true that the body was built with a lot of effort. To be honest, it might be a little harsh to say that I’m an idiot. But I don’t have any Auras. That’s why I can’t recognize the skills of other Aura users, and I can’t figure out my level. Kel Did you say that in Bast, a knight was split in half with an axe? It’s likely an exaggerated rumor or the weapon is special.”

Or that the knight was a corporal. The Ear Hunter, who concluded his speech with a small smile, was full of confidence.

“…Come to think of it, the mercenaries also said that an ax was suddenly lodged in the chest of the watcher they were with.”

“Huh, I’ve only heard that it was a weapon of a knight named Duberg, but it must have been a great artifact. If you picked up something like that, you’d have no choice but to be proud enough.”

It was an ear hunter who shook his head and laughed. On the one hand, I wondered if it was because I was being insulted on the spot.

“But you hardly feel the aura?”

“Uh. Are you at the level where you finally woke up to an aura?”

“…There’s a rumor that the Empire defeated a hero in Dalian.”

“Hero? That bastard? He can win even with five people. It’s no big deal.”

“Have you ever seen a warrior?”

“Yes.”

The ear hunter laughed pleasantly when I looked at him with surprised eyes because he answered so calmly.

“There’s an elfe house next to the baby. I’ve been tied up for a while for that year. It’s been about 2 years? It was left unattended because of the troops of the empire. I would have had to hire a warrior again.”

Oswal let out a deep sigh as he watched the ear hunter pass through the gate casually telling a very profane story. Please, I hope that the owner will not get into trouble because of that frivolous behavior.

The camp where the ear hunters were set up wasn’t too far from the city. Originally, it was a group of ear hunters with excellent equipment to hunt elves, but now, with the support of their owners, those who wear equipment comparable to a decent army welcomed the ear hunters as soon as they saw them.

“You’re back, Captain. How was it?”

“You’re an asshole. Thanks to you, you can eat seven elves.”

“Are there any women?”

Usually such questions were sexually odious, but they had different meanings among the ear hunters’ subordinates.

“There were three of them.”

“Keuuu, I’d like to touch some money.”

Female elves cost twice as much as male elves. They preferred to live like a king by renting out a window with the money they earned from selling an elf, rather than having an elf like that and filling it with useless satisfaction.

“I don’t think he’s going to run away because he’s lost his head so much, but just in case, I’ll have to send some reconnaissance. Take a signal flare and organize two teams of three.”

“Eek… that expensive one?”

“We can charge our client with a lot of money. That’s better than missing out. Move quickly.”

Since they were the ones who chose the risk because they liked money in the first place, the ear hunters’ men moved in perfect order as soon as the order was given, and in an instant, they formed a group and ran along the road where Oswal and the ear hunters came. Even though it was obviously not prepared in advance, it was unusual to see them moving with their camping gear in an instant.

“I didn’t know because it was the first time I saw it in person… There’s no such thing as an army.”

“Army. You’re talking too much. Those bastards can rest in the camp, but once they enter the forest, it’s hell until they walk out on their own two feet.”

It is hard to describe in words that the surprise attack of the elves, who received the help of the spirits in earnest, was terrible. After all, there is a difference in skill, but skilled elves cut their throats in front of them and fly out of the campsite in an instant to try sniping repeatedly.

“It’s not like the three brothers were beheaded by an elf bitch for no reason.”

They weren’t really brothers, but thanks to that, there were fewer competitors and it was easier to make money. After laughing once and washing away the displeasure from before, the ear hunter handed over the words to his subordinate and washed his body lightly with melted snow water. It was a habit that came from dealing with elves in the forest together.

“That… how are your subordinates’ skills? Their movements are unusual.”

“All of them use Aura. I don’t know if it’s just a user or an expert? They’re weaker than me. Still, at least one or five of them do a good job when hunting in the forest.”

“Boo, didn’t you say you had 20 subordinates?”

All that many people use auras? Watching Oswal ask back, terrified at the answer that destroys common sense, the ear hunter smiled a fishy smile.

“Right. A lot?”

He knew very well what level of troops he had. They are talented people that even moderate lords drool over and covet. But no one offered a better ransom than selling the elves.

“I’m always thankful that the world is big. There are a lot of rich people who want elves, and there are a lot of elves, so it’s really easy to earn money.”

After wiping off the water and stretching happily, the Ear Hunter patted the trembling Oswal on the shoulder, then left and headed for his tent.

I have to go to bed early, so I’ll just have a glass of wine and sleep. With that thought in mind, the Ear Hunter, who casually looked up at the sky, had a strangely curved eyebrow.

“…why is that flying already?”

It was a signal flare. You’ve just left, so you can’t even smell the city?

I looked at the sky with a serious expression, just in case, but the signal ended with that one shot, and the ear hunter, who finally relaxed, sighed.

“Sweep, it looks like it’s a misfire again.”

Signal flares belonging to magic tools are very expensive. The reason hunters can use it as a fixture is because there are traders who take care of defects that occur in the process of manufacturing signal flares at a relatively low price. However, since it was literally defective, there were often cases where it was fired at its own accord due to minute shocks that could not be activated normally.

So the ear hunter taught me to shoot two in a row when giving a signal. Even if it’s defective, there’s a small chance that it’ll be defective two times in a row. And thanks to that judgment, he has lived safely catching elves until now.

“Captain!

“It’s okay. With the target’s skills, I can’t deal with them before they fire two shots. There’s no forest or horses, so there’s no way the elves have already come this far. Look at it.”

“Al…”

As soon as the diligent subordinate received the order and was about to return, his left eye exploded.

‘arrow?!’

The ear hunter’s mouth instinctively shouted as he twisted his body and narrowly avoided the projectile that was flying towards him at great speed.

“It’s an assault!!”

How? who? Thousands of questions passed through my mind, but more important than that was the projectile that had just pierced the head of my former subordinate.

It didn’t just fly to the other side and disappear, but as if it was alive, it made a sharp turn and returned to the direction it came from.

and.

“In a little cafe just the other side of the border.”

At the end of the camp, with his back to the city where darkness had not yet fallen, a figure who shouldn’t have appeared.

The projectile returned to the surroundings as he slowly walked along, singing an unknown song without showing any sign of hurry.

“And I knew, yes I knew I should leave When I heard her say, yeah.”

“What the hell…”

I didn’t know what the song was, but it was annoying to sing it strangely well.

Unlike him, who directly witnessed the surprise attack that just happened, his subordinates, who had not properly grasped the situation, rushed towards him without hesitation.

The subordinates, who had already been trained enough to be trained by hunting elves, moved well without a separate command. Normally, it would be a sight to look at proudly, but this time it was different.

“No way! Around that bastard…!”

“Come a little bit closer You’re my kind of man.”

The Ear Hunter, who had just seen the power of the projectile, had no time to stop it, and three of his men collapsed like puppets with a thread cut off. Only the five talented subordinates I had just spoken to Oswal deflected the mysterious attack and retreated.

Seeing this, the guy with a surprised expression fixed the ax that was slung over his shoulder, stopped the song, and spoke with a faint smile.

“Surprise, Motherfucker.”

It wasn’t that big, but in an instant, silence fell. In response to an audible, meaningless word, the body of the ear hunter and five of his men were fired at Eldmia.

At the same time, a projectile resembling a needle suddenly appeared in front of the ear hunter’s eyes.
