Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 465
Time passed quickly just by briefly reflecting on his face to his acquaintances after finishing his business at the studio.
Among them, the most time consuming was the process of calming down Cheryl, who had become a mad dog and ran towards her. She already knew not only the series of events in Levien, but also the story in Ogwen, so she didn’t make a fuss like she did when she dealt with the Great Devil, perhaps because she had a meaning in that she had been able to travel safely.
But why are you comparing it to a mad dog? He wasn’t worried like Ragnis or Asillie, but it was because he persistently requested sparring.
I don’t know if it was a situation where I could start off leisurely while killing time, but I didn’t know when and where Siegfried would jump or what tricks the demon magician would do additionally, so I tried to promise the next time. It was the biggest event during my schedule in the capital that I couldn’t refuse because he asked so persistently.
At first, I was going to go after correcting it moderately… but after sparring, I could understand why he was so persistent. In that short amount of time, his skills have improved incredibly. It was not a waste to spend time in Dalian to meet a few people.
The fact that I was able to subdue it without difficulty while sticking out my tongue at the sophistication of swordsmanship, which had risen to the point of being a little foul, was thanks to the unusual growth I had achieved due to a series of recent events.
As a result, Cheryl sighed again, but since the decision was so certain that it was impossible to refute, I was able to escape safely from the guy’s clutches.
In the meantime, the preparations for leaving for the front line were all over, so Asilie and I always went on our journey, receiving Thiet’s farewell.
“By the way… is it okay for you to stay here forever?”
“Don’t you need it?”
“That can’t be the case. It’s because I’m curious because you don’t know the standard of price that your church says.”
There was no reason to reject a free, competent maid, but no matter how much I say it, I’m not brazen enough to stare calmly at the way I risk my life to repay the grace that saved me without thinking.
I don’t know if it’s based on a legitimate transaction or contract, but… It’s like a strong sale, right?
“The Church’s deal is guaranteed. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you in advance when it’s time to go.”
I don’t know if he understood my intentions, but Thie gave a strange smile and answered indifferently. Having said that, I didn’t have anything more to say, so I headed for the flying dragon station, receiving a send-off from Thie, whom I had grown accustomed to.
“Nice to meet you, Sir Ega. I am Bella, a first-class official at the Kingdom Gate. In the name of the royal family, I came here to help Sir Ega head to the front line.”
Upon arriving there, we were greeted by a wizard we had never seen before.
The voice sounded like a woman’s, but ‘I am a wizard.’ There was no way to check his face because a dark veil was wrapped around the brim of his hat, making him question whether he could see the front.
The robe he was wearing looked really suspicious, probably because it was meant to cover the curvature of his body, but there was no room for doubt because the manager of the flying dragon station was with him.
“Was there a gate leading to the wire?”
“Not all, but Sir Ega’s destinations lead to key outposts. And for security reasons, instructions have been placed not to use certain gates in certain directions. I can see them as the key to break through.”
In other words, it could have been an issue that could have been ended with a royal official letter, but in that case, it would be annoying to check every time I went through the gate, taking up time, so it means that I gave the master key to me. The fact that the key has a very unconventional appearance takes a little time, but it’s not bad.
In any case, Master Key Bella, who seemed confident in her performance, bowed politely and took the lead to guide us. I didn’t even order it, but I calculated the food for my car and prepared it in advance as much as the distance I would travel after finishing using the gate, so I just had to follow it.
And we could see that calling ourselves the Key wasn’t bravado.
Just by approaching the gate, we have a way to go, and when she directly approaches the gate and casts a spell, the gate is activated. The guards guarding the gate did not pay any attention to Bella’s movements, and the movement was carried out quickly, feeling as if she had become invisible.
After riding through the gate six times, we found ourselves in the middle of an outpost that, at a cursory glance, seemed unlikely to be reached by ordinary people.
“This is all I can help you with. If you take this letter and go to the command post, you will be able to hear the location of the Imperial Soldier in detail.”
“…Thank you. It saved me a lot of time.”
“…I just did my duty. It was an honor to serve the kingdom’s hero.”
Our master key, which left behind a scroll and a response that seemed to contain feelings of joy for the first time to the thank you handed in a bewildered state, disappeared through the gate with a polite greeting.
It was not enough to stand there and admire it, so I slowly started to focus on the surroundings, so I headed in the direction she pointed out while mentioning the command post.
Is it because they arrived by shortening the distance in an instant?
Unlike the peaceful atmosphere of the capital city that I had been feeling with my skin until just now, the air and atmosphere of the outpost seemed very strange.
◈
“Hero. Did you hear the rumor?”
Siegfried, who had returned to the command post after a battle that was always tiring because of the illusion wizard and was chewing on beef jerky like food, looked at the knight who suddenly approached and spoke to him with helpless eyes.
He was one of the knights of the kingdom who were recently assigned to the unit they belonged to and showed off their cool sword skills. Even though we fought together for quite a long time, we didn’t even know their names, but we got to know each other and we talked at length several times.
When I got to that point, I felt like I was acting desolate in this desolate battlefield without even realizing it, so I burst out laughing.
“I don’t know what the rumor is, but I know you don’t even know your name. I don’t know how this could be, as we’ve talked quite often.”
“Hahaha. Wasn’t the warrior the same person? This is a common appearance among those who have experienced a large-scale battlefield for the first time. Because they are in a hurry to survive, they run out of space, and as they run out of space, they become indifferent to their surroundings. It’s just Darren. Please call me.”
Rather than being offended at the fact that he didn’t even know my name, he was a really nice person who smiled kindly. ‘Yes, Darren. I will remember this time.’ With the answer, Siegfried laughed.
“Anyway. It seems that the flute knight who played a big role in the siege of Levien is finally coming here.”
Despite what he said, Darren looked very excited. To the point where it’s not enough to have a child next to you who has been told that Santa Claus will bring you presents tonight.
Certainly, the flute knight… Eldmia’s reputation in Levien deserved to raise such expectations. There was a story that the attacking unit called the Silver Eagle Brigade only saw the liver on the first day to attack the outer fortress of Levien in two days, so if that is true, it means that the castle was destroyed in less than half a day alone.
Although they are now tired of reality and the battlefield and are only enduring with a sense of duty, they were once engrossed in individual strength and feats of knights and had a heart-thumping childhood. In a way, it was a natural reaction to be excited about the story of the arrival of the legendary protagonist.
“Didn’t that rumor spread a few days ago? Is it a new thing now?”
“They say it will come in two days. The story has already spread that they saw her at the outpost with her flying dragon, an elf who seemed to be in love with her, and a bit out of the blue, but a dog.”
It was a description that others would have doubted, frowning at what an unexpected combination it was, but of course Siegfried didn’t.
“It looks really good.”
“Of course, what’s this… Huh? Do you believe it? Others say what kind of weird combination it is and that you ate hallucinogenic mushrooms.”
Siegfried smiled at Darren’s bewildered reaction, who was about to continue the story, believing that a refutation would come out of course.
“Certainly, one Welsh corgi is a singular scene stealer.”
“Well…? Thin…? Ah! You mean that dog? Oh my God, did you even know the flute driver?”
“Sure. It’s like brother and sister.”
“Wow, crazy god!”
Through this meeting, it seemed that a huge change in perception would occur in the hierarchy that had been going on until now… But since it wasn’t a lie, Siegfried replied calmly, but looked at Darren’s reaction as if it were fun.
“Is it more surprising that you know the flute knight while fighting alongside the hero?”
“…Huh? I heard that, right?”
“This, this, since you’re also on the battlefield, you couldn’t see your surroundings, so you understood my situation in one shot, didn’t you?”
“Ah, this is a bit different. You are a member of the Empire, aren’t you? Even if you’re not a hero, as a member of the same kingdom, you’re proud of the feat of a hero.”
Well, I can’t stand the soup. Thinking of that, Siegfried giggled once more and stood up from his seat chewing the remaining beef jerky with a much clearer head.
“Thank you even more. You’re here because of me.”
“Yes? Are you serious?”
“Why would a warrior lie because he regrets it?”
Darren did not stop Siegfried from leaving. Instead, they move excitedly to share newly updated information.
Siegfried relaxed his shoulders as he watched the knight step out of his way to maintain the morale of his allies on the battlefield where there was not much to enjoy.
“let’s go.”
Then one of the imperial knights, who had been watching the two from a distance until now, approached and spoke cautiously.
“Wouldn’t it be better to rest a little more? You haven’t slept properly for two days.”
“You have to cut that fucking shoulder off so you can fall asleep. I’ve had enough rest, so let’s go.”
The imperial knights, who looked at each other’s faces alternately with Siegfried’s back as he spoke as if it was not a big deal, eventually let out a short sigh and lowered their visors and followed him.
There was no figure of Entire in it.
