Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 376

It is said that civilized people are more rude than savages because they do not split their heads even if they say something rude.

Conversely, wouldn’t it be possible to say that those who pour out rude words and actions without hesitation are members of a civilized society? Assuming that, Ethyl is a very civilized nation, and they may have grown up receiving the full benefits of it, so they may not be able to see it.

There were enough possibilities as it was near the destination, the large city of Millean.

“Then, almost all the orcs around here are dead?”

“Yes, yes. That’s right. So, it’s a competition. It’s gotten a little worse. Orcs are a bit expensive now.”

In fact, there was nothing to call it a fight.

Before the corpse of the warrior who was blown away by the ax rolled down the hill, he threw the pot of stew that had become an orc prophet to the wizard who was about to shoot magic, making screams that were not spells come out and threw the ax at the warrior. Just by making them follow, the rest lost their fighting spirit.

To be precise, two people knew me, so the conversation moved quickly.

One mercenary and one adventurer. The former heard the story related to the Oak Gate Incident through the Blue Owl Mercenaries, and the latter was aware of my reputation in the capital.

I didn’t think the rest would agree because only two of them were going to hit me in the head, but fortunately I accepted the fact that I couldn’t follow my movements properly and quickly threw away my weapon.

Thanks to that, I was now taking their food and canteen, cleaning the pot, re-boiling the stew, and listening to the situation.

It is said that they were only staying in a nearby city and partying for a while to make money. It was an action that stemmed from the calculation that since most of the Orcs were disappearing anyway, it would be worth it if the six of them walked together. In order to quickly stabilize the situation, money was released not only from the royal family but also from the merchant guild.

“Other than that, it’s quiet.”

“Yes?”

“really?”

“…Uh…”

I poked it to see if there was anything more to come out, and the eyes of the four survivors began to roll desperately.

Even though I already said I’d save them, I was tasting the stew I boiled again while watching the guys work hard as if they would die if they couldn’t squeeze more information out. said urgently with a loud voice.

“Rumors about demons are flowing out from near Mandela Port! Rumors have only increased lately!”

“…Mandela Port? Hasn’t it already been several months since you were there?”

“Oh, that’s right! That’s why I was wondering! It was quiet until a few weeks ago!”

“Baby… Passed.”

I didn’t expect anything, but when I squeezed it, something came out.

I couldn’t hear more details than that, but this was enough to satisfy me, so I retrieved useful items from the warriors and wizards who had become corpses, and sent them away after providing an appropriate level of information fee.

I briefly thought about whether the demons had come from across the sea or if I had set up a gate somewhere, but I couldn’t come to a conclusion, so I decided to finish my meal quickly and focus on moving. Anyway, if it was really related to demons, there were many ways to get information, so now was the time to go home quickly.

Although I lost some time because of the Amon guys, fortunately I arrived at Millean before the gates closed at sunset, and I was treated like an ordinary adventurer and entered the city. Although it was not possible to fly right away because there was a bank-like business hours from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm to use the gate.

Still, the mementos of warriors and wizards, who were like incarnations of the Red Army, became more money than I thought, so I set up a room at a luxurious inn with a bathtub to celebrate that I was returning safely, and I enjoyed a hearty dinner and the warmth of a warm fireplace. enjoyed and fell asleep.

As expected of an expensive inn, the bed was very comfortable.

◈

After waking up in the morning and having a proper meal at the restaurant attached to the inn, I finally realized that the end of this journey was approaching.

I can say this with real confidence. It’s over.

There is no point in raising a flag and getting involved in an accident. If you just get on the gate today, you will arrive in the capital right away. At most, there are only simple belongings and physical examinations before and after using the gate.

“After I really go back, I have to stay still for a few days and just sleep.”

After packing my luggage and checking my equipment, my steps out of the inn were light enough. To be on time, I had tea time and then headed to the gate while breathing in the cool air. There were more people than I expected in line to use the gate from the morning.

It was easy to guess that most of them were adventurers. Aristocrats seldom moved from such an early hour, and merchants who were good enough to use the gate casually passed through without waiting in line. Even in the capital city, most of the people standing from this early hour were adventurers with skill and money and above the level.

There was nothing strange up to that point, but it was rather strange that so many adventurers gathered at the gate in winter. The city is saturated with adventurers, so unless there is no work, they will try to retain them as emergency personnel.

Even the closer the distance, the strangely noisy it wasn’t a very good atmosphere.

“Everyone. Please, please. I’m not asking you to take the lead in the search. I’ll give you financial support, so please just stay.”

When I stood at the back of the line full of doubts, what I heard was someone’s complaint. At this, I glanced ahead and saw a bald-haired man who looked really cold, standing at the front of the gate, earnestly pleading for something to the adventurers.

“Isn’t that what we’re trying to eat and live for? Guild leader. We can’t deal with the demons with our skills. Even if we do, it’s a dog’s death, but money is important? We’ll beg you too, so just let it go.”

However, the desperate thing was that the adventurers who heard his story were similar.

Contrary to my expectations, most of those in line did not have enough expression on their faces. I arrived just as the conversation between the two was in full swing, and as I grasped the situation, I quickly realized that these were not adventurers with enough money and skills, but rather adventurers who were trying to save money and move to another city.

It was a strange atmosphere. They say that the guild leader is blocking their way, but since it wasn’t compulsory, they could just pass by, but there were no people who acted so ruthlessly, probably because they were originally active in this city. Rather, fear and guilt coexisted on the faces of some adventurers.

“I can swear by the name of the guild. I will never force you to do anything unreasonable.”

“Anyway, there are still people who are confident in their skills.”

“Of course, there are people like that, but where will only demons appear in winter? You know that there are a lot of requests that you can solve without difficulty. ”

Hmm, in many ways, it’s a rare sight. It wasn’t that common for adventurers and guild leaders to beg each other.

But even so, I couldn’t stand the fact that the line didn’t shorten even though the guard was telling people to come to the gate.

“If you’re not going, go first.”

Because I have no reason to be held like this.

Even though I was out to the side of the line and moving forward, there was no one who stopped or restrained me. The twenty or so adventurers seemed to be full of guilt because they were natives who had been active in this city for a long time.

“It’s a passing travelogue. Excuse me.”

Fortunately, the man called the guild leader didn’t catch me either. He didn’t even know his face, so he didn’t seem to think he was an adventurer. I didn’t even have to stand in line thanks to him, so I wanted to thank him, but if I really did, I’d be an ignorant twin, so I shut up and went to the guard and asked him a question while he was being searched.

“Did demons come out around here?”

“If you insist, it’s not the surroundings, and I don’t know if it really came out. Rumors spread that the demons’ boat was found near Mandela. They are scared and want to go to the other side of the inland.”

“Speaking of the other side…?”

“They say… what did they say? They say that some new dungeons have appeared in the city of Ogwen?

Huh I never thought I’d hear Ogwen’s story here. If rumors spread to the east, it must be changing so much and so quickly. As a thank you for letting me know, I stabbed you with a few fairy tales, and the guard’s attitude, which was not bad at all, improved even more.

“It’s not that they don’t understand their feelings, but it’s true that they don’t look very nice. The benefits the guild leader has given them so far are a bit scary, so tsk tsk…” “Well, I’m not saying that. I’m an adventurer.

”

“Haha, isn’t the field of activity different? Judging from the cards, it seems that you are active in the capital city. How did you come all the way to the East?”

“Orc… I went through some unwanted hardships because of them.”

After confirming his identity, he thought it would be meaningless to be honest with the question he asked, so when he smiled and looked around, the guard burst into laughter and shook his head.

“Huh, several people are bleeding because of those beasts that suddenly appeared. Anyway, there’s nothing wrong. You can go inside as you have received the bill without any problems.”

I had been worried that Duke Lesrom would use his hands to make a noise, but it was nothing. I said goodbye to the kind guard and looked at the gate the wizard had activated.

Honestly, it’s funny to come all this way and say this, but I was reluctant even though I knew there was nothing wrong with it.

Maybe it’s because there are more cases where I’ve been out of shape than when I’ve been on the gate and looked good, so my steps, which were light until just before, have become a little heavy. Then the male wizard standing in front of the gate said with a friendly smile.

“It looks like you’re using the gate for the first time. Don’t worry too much. Just close your eyes and take two or three steps and you’ll be in another city.”

chuckle

I didn’t have anything to say, so I said thank you and followed his advice, closing my eyes and stepping out. For a moment, I felt the fluff stand up because of the magic of the gate, but I didn’t feel the slightest sense of difference like when I crossed the gate of the demons.

“…Finally!”

And when I opened my eyes again, the capital of Isthel was spread out in front of me.
