Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 402

There was no reason for us to stay in the library after we had finished our sparring, so we climbed back into the carriage and headed for the Levien Mansion. In the meantime, there were trivial processes in which Ragnis was cleaning the arena, reviewing the recent sparring with Lord Radnellvandes, and receiving various advice, but it didn’t take too long.

After talking for a while in the moving carriage, it is said that reclaiming the Marquis of Levien was already a plan that was being prepared long before Ragnis returned to the capital.

There was also a bit of talk about the geographic advantage of the area, but I didn’t really understand it because I hadn’t studied tactical strategy.

However, in the process of maintaining a fixed state for several years, I could clearly understand the symbolism of regaining the territory of the only occupied kingdom.

The kingdom was in turmoil and wanted a certain victory to upset the mood. There, the recapture of Levien was scheduled to begin spectacularly as the beginning of a counterattack.

In fact, that alone was enough reason to do everything possible, but it seems that the royal family has become impatient because all sorts of incidents have exploded in the past year.

Mandeli Port was destroyed and it was known that Envelde was preparing for a rebellion, and not only did the leadership of the Holy Light Cross go to the devil, but also sneaked into the capital and summoned the Great Devil, and because of the demons’ manipulation of the gate, western orcs poured into the vicinity of the capital. After losing, the people’s anxiety began to overflow?

It wasn’t really that kind of atmosphere around me, so I didn’t feel it. Rather, personally, it hit me more that I had personally experienced everything except for the destruction of Mandeli Harbor.

It’s fortunate that Siegfried beat up the Holy Light Cross branch. It’s not even a Grand Slam.

In a way, it can be said that the composition is no different from using Ragnis, but what the kingdom needed was a hero, not a throwaway, so Ragnis, who received all the support, was rather close to using the kingdom. Above all, Ragnis himself wanted to participate, so I couldn’t argue.

“So, by any chance, would you like to join me on the expedition…?”

The topic that Ragnis carefully brought up while continuing the conversation was very new. I didn’t know why he asked so carefully, but the answer was fixed.

“okay.”

Anyway, if I hadn’t said anything else, this is the issue I would have brought up first.

I’m a little sorry for Ragnis, but I can’t deny that this expedition is very suitable for battlefield experience. It is a battlefield where there is a high possibility that there are many allies but fewer enemies, and since you must win, support will be better than a decent number of units.

There was no reason to refuse such an opportunity, unless the country was inclined to try an all-out war.

“That, right. Any… huh? Yes?”

The person who actually spoke up acted as if he hadn’t expected my answer at all.

“What’s the reaction like? Did you think you would reject it?”

“Uh, uh uh. Well, now that I’m a Wandering Knight, I knew I would move for your purpose.”

“I don’t have any information right now, but how well can I move? Rather, it’s beneficial in the long run to experience the battlefield in advance in a situation where rear support is certain.”

Even though he explained it reasonably, Ragnis, who reacted as if he was very surprised, glanced up suspiciously and said that he knew how to interrogate the Demon Lord Army by running to the battlefield without worrying about it.

At this point, I was wondering what the hell the perception of me had become… but I

decided to keep my mouth shut because I thought I was going to dig my grave for no reason.

◈

Becoming a wandering knight does not mean that my life has changed dramatically right away.

No matter how prominent people gathered, it was ultimately the domain of nobles, and I lived far away from them, so even rumors circulated, I belonged to the side that had nothing to do with it.

Of course, there was no change at all. Among them, if I had to pick the biggest change, I could say that the adventurer’s guild officially conveyed the story of the medal I received and my appointment, and the children of Tsamdomia disappeared in an instant like cockroaches that were drugged.

It is said that it took less than a week for them to disappear altogether. I heard that the (old) Tsadmi sons often showed up with their dogs, but when I heard that they were the ones I went with because I fell in love with the dog I saved to imitate me, I honestly laughed.

The next big change was the academy.

The students, who had been caught up in the Oak Gate incident and only looked at me on the pretext that I would be tired when I returned, now turned on their eyes and tried to contact me.

There seemed to be a 7:2:1 ratio between students who wanted to be taught, students who wanted to make connections, and students who were looking for romance.

It was a bit better when Cheryl was around. Whenever her pickled radish eyebrows twitched, most of the students who tried to approach her made a U-turn.

Most of it.

“Please teach me one more time!”

“Can’t you take a look at me too?”

Kalitz, who was third in swordsmanship, and Griffith, who was second in swordsmanship, penetrated even Sheryl and clung to them, demanding instruction.

It wasn’t until after seeing Kalitz who was actively appealing and ready to kneel down, and Griffith who smiled like a dark smile and smirkingly tried to put on a ponytail next to him, that I didn’t give up even though Kalitz was urged by Griffith and rejected every time. I could notice that it was coming without it. He was also a member of a merchant family, so he was good at walking a tightrope. Even swordsmanship is sincere, so he’s going to be great.

But that’s it and this is this. It was impossible to spend time on things that didn’t even cost money, so in the days of sending it back every time, the time had already reached the end of January.

And it was only today that I was able to hear why Seneran had told me not to use any skills in front of priests or wizards just before catching the Prime Evil.

“Do you understand now, Eldmia? Based on this theory, the skills you applied are not made of magic alone.

After a very, very lengthy theory study.

To be honest, I didn’t understand even half of it, but since the situation I was in was so special, it was close to half-forced understanding.

“Teacher is progressing too fast.”

“Don’t lie. Looking at the expression, I got a rough idea, but what? Do you have classes for a day or two?”

Seneran, who was trying to clean the portable blackboard with the dense writing on it, put it aside as if it was annoying, then gulped down a cold teacup to quench his thirst and looked at me. It was a nuanced look that seemed unreliable or suspicious.

“There are no exceptions. The divine power is definitely intervening in you. Humans can use magic, but the divine power is also intervening? Do you have a sense of what this means?”

“I don’t know because it’s progressing so fast.”

“Ayy, if I were going to go somewhere else and talk about this, I would have started talking about it right away.

I couldn’t help but nod my head with a puzzled look because it was the limit to look around to evade an answer. Only then did the slightly satisfied Seneran scratch his head and mutter.

“Which god gave a blessing like this…?”

In fact, magic and divine power do not mean that demons can immediately arise. If that was the case, wouldn’t the Demonic Cult have suffered very badly from the moment I learned that I was using magical powers?

Just as dragons can use magic and demons move based on magic to materialize in this world, magic itself is like the air that permeates the world.

On the contrary, there is nothing strange about dismissing the idea that a demon god bestowed blessings on the human race who were fighting fiercely against the demons as a delusion that goes against common sense, and that is why Seneran assumes that my situation is simply a ‘blessing from the gods’.

But that was the limit. It is a situation outside of common sense, so there is nothing you can do but worry. Even if it was her, the idea of a demon blessing the human race seemed like Columbus’ egg.

I couldn’t tell the truth though, so I stayed silent and Laika stroked me. Pretending to be a little worried.

The one who broke the awkward silence was Master, who had been silent for a long time.

“…There was an altar of demons near Eldmia’s hometown.”

Seneran and I were both surprised. I was surprised that there was such a thing near my town, and Seneran seemed surprised at the prospect of finding a connection.

“Why are you saying that now?”

“What? A hypothesis that the demon god might have bestowed blessings on the human race in a country fighting against the demons?”

“I’m sorry. After hearing it, if I had said it, I would have thought I was senile.”

Seneran ruthlessly said whether it was the freewheeling nature of a wizard or whether he was the same age as his real master. Master doesn’t really care about this, but the more I do, the more the Confucian dragon inside me makes me uncomfortable.

Write, should I be a little more polite now? By the time you feel the same way. Seneran, who was lost in thought with his chin resting, kicked out of his seat and stood up.

“let’s go!”

“Yes? Where are you?”

“No, not you. You said you’d be joining the Levien Expedition soon. Widra, do you remember where it is?”

Looking at her, who was full of thoughts of going to the demon god’s altar, Master gave a slightly skeptical opinion.

“It’s a place where I already finished researching Eldmia when she was about 5 years old.”

“Five years old? How many dozens… Oh, right. He’s 16 now. 10 years… vague.”

I felt like I was being treated as an old person by someone who often showed me that I couldn’t live up to my age, so I felt strange, but I was so serious about it that I just glared at it.

Ten years seemed to shake her resolve, but it didn’t last long.

“Just one thing. Maybe there’s something we can check. Let’s go.”

If I return from the expedition, will I learn the secret of my birth…?

Looking at Seneran full of confidence, I pondered for a long time whether I should accept this situation as good or uncomfortable.

Naturally, no answer came.
