Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 555
It’s bleak.
I suddenly felt that way.
Startled by the sudden rush of chills, he shivered and looked around, but saw nothing strange.
“Why but?”
“it’s nothing. Suddenly, something creepy…”
“Didn’t you catch a cold?”
“Maybe.”
Under the care of St. Deoni and the priests, he was recovering rapidly, but he was not fully recovered yet. He had a strong body that had never caught a cold since he was young, but he might have lost his immunity while overdoing it this time.
If it were Lightor, I would have slept well with the blanket covered, but unfortunately, there is no other way now.
“How can we stop here for today? I still have a few more days to go before I can use the gate, so I think it’s better to take care of your health.”
“it’s okay. It’s not like you use your body a lot.”
When he answered with a light shrug, Emmet cast the spell right away without asking twice. Then, in line with that, the eyes of the demons who were quietly gathering around us began to focus.
Even after they left Leitor and started moving towards the next stop, they were wizards who were trying to get something out of it somehow by looking at the classes that continued steadily as if they were crossing a college course. Even Emmet, who at first looked at her disapprovingly for not paying for learning, responded with indifference, and it became just another part of her daily routine.
It’s a magic that is completed in an instant without adjusting the speed, with the determination that I don’t want to teach them for free, but now that I can finish the analysis surprisingly quickly and interfere with the spell for dispel, it doesn’t matter.
It’s not at the level of disassembling the completed spell and conversely using it to complete Dispel, but it’s easy to intervene. Watching the spell collapse in real time according to my intention gave me a catharsis that was completely different from interrupting the magic’s completion by unilaterally cutting off magic.
Should I say that it is close to the pleasure felt from the results coming out as planned? Of course, since my opponent is Emmet, my dispel has never been successful. It was only natural that there was a vast difference between a chess grandmaster and a person who had just started playing chess.
But just watching him reverse and defend my dispel is a learning experience. It’s much more interesting and fun than sitting at a desk and reading magic books.
“Originally, you can’t study just by looking at it. Having a client who is too competent is also a pain.”
It is Emmet who seems to be embarrassed by words, but does not hesitate to demonstrate his skills.
That his words were not completely empty words could be seen by looking at the wizards who were flocking to learn from us. The intensity of the classes goes up every two days, but after each class, there are more people who are confused or puzzled over what has happened than those who are delighted with a new realization.
As Emmett said, it was only something I learned quickly. Thanks to that, I don’t even care if I use magic poetry or not. Are you sure this is enough to open your eyes? After doing that for a while, I got used to it, and now I
even have time to try intermittent conversations.
“If you don’t even know the basics of magic, it’s right to learn the formula first. But if you’re just knowledgeable, like you, dispel is better. After all, magic develops more through flexible thinking, but there is no training as good as dispel.”
Emmet’s theory is that if you learn according to the textbook, you will stay at the textbook level. I don’t know if that’s really true or if it’s just his subjective judgment, but it was useful to me anyway, so it didn’t matter anyway.
The class, which had been held in the corner of the camp in the evening, ended in just one hour, unlike when they stayed at Leitor. At the same time, the mages’ groans came out, but we decided not to care at all, so we walked away as if we didn’t see anything.
This outdoor class has already been five days. Out of dozens of wizards at first, only five or six remained. The process of getting used to it was also quicker, so by the time I got to the city where Thor and the gate were connected, there was a high possibility that I would give up and leave on my own.
Despite the addition of not only Count Leitor and his troops, but also citizens following the Order, our movement was made very smoothly.
Of course, it wasn’t that there were no incidents of attacks by monsters or groups unintentionally breaking away from the group, but it was enough that they had never faced the worst case of a direct attack by the demon army.
That doesn’t mean the Demon King’s army didn’t show any movement. Because less than a day had passed since we left Leitor through the gate, we had troops watching us. If someone approached in any form from this side while maintaining a certain distance, they would fall for it without hesitation, so it was not unusual to bother them.
Count Leitor, who looked at their movements, in preparation for the possibility of a battle in the near future, looked for places on our route that might surprise the Demon King’s army, and pointed out three places in total.
Fortunately, two of them were in vain, and now only one is left.
“If we move at this pace tomorrow too, we’ll reach the third last position before afternoon.”
At the command post, where she joined on time after class, and started the briefing with key personnel gathered, Saint Deoni’s gaze was fixed on me after looking around the crowd once.
“I’ve been watching the progress of the past few days, but the hero hasn’t recovered enough to fight yet. So, even if the battle with the demon army starts tomorrow, we will fight without the hero. Please operate the troops in the form you have been familiar with in advance.”
[Master, something has become useless…]
I decided to respect the opinion of the saintess instead of being forced to, knowing my physical condition, but after a while, I came to my senses and began teasing Este. I decided to write it down on the list with a promise later.
In fact, strictly speaking, it has recovered enough to easily subdue quite a few soldiers.
However, because I missed Soha with my face uncovered due to my fault, my detailed impression was in their hands, so if I went to the front in this state, I would be safe from the elites of the demon king’s army who rushed at me with lights on in their eyes to send me across the Jordan River. It would be difficult to do that was the conclusion that everyone put their heads together.
At least, magic power is fine now, so I’m learning hard to try remote support through magic, but I don’t know yet if it can really help. In the end, I had to suck my fingers until the end of the meeting.
At the end of the meeting, which was concluded with brief delivery of the business as much as possible, I, who was left alone with the saintess for the reason of a regular checkup, sat down in a chair that was comfortable for the saintess to look at, as always, but the saintess confirmed that the people around her were disappearing. Then he brought up a completely different story.
“Actually, today I don’t need any more examinations. I just made an excuse to tell you that there is additional information about the war situation.”
“Is there anything I should know?”
Anyway, this time, like Eldmia, who listens well, I was going to be quietly stuck in a safe place unless it was a serious affair.
I asked in earnest, wondering if there was anything else I could ask for, but for some reason, what came back was the saintess’ ax eyes and cold gaze.
“Rather than that, I just thought it would be better to minimize the possibility of information leaking. Originally, I was the only one who knew, but there is a high possibility that you don’t know anything and then overdo it again in a situation where there is no need to do so… Well, in that sense, If you look at it, it’s something the hero should know.”
It was a small letter full of crumpled traces that flew along with the saintess’ painful remarks, whose every word she said had become very bitter after my condition worsened. The content of the letter, which I received and read carefully, in case it would be torn, was truly surprising.
Originally, some cities located on the supply route of the Demon King army not only began to oppose the Demon King army as the church’s army grew, but also Levien’s troops cooperated with them to subdue the demon army and advance bases located around them and descend. It contained information that was coming.
Even thanks to the extraordinary speed, it was clear that at this rate, it would reach the vicinity of Thor within a week.
“It’s not from the empire, it’s information obtained through our contacts, so many details are missing, but looking at the Demon King’s response and response, it seems to be moving as silently as possible while destroying the enemy’s means of communication.”
Even while listening to the explanation of the saintess’ wealth, I was fascinated and read it several times. The Levien I knew had no troops like this, so what the hell was going on? Has Ragnis awakened to an unknown power?
“I don’t know what you’re thinking and you’re laughing, but anyway, don’t try to step out because we’re in a very advantageous position.”
I just laughed a little at the long-awaited good news, but it was a saintess who accepted it after misinterpreting it.
