Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 559

While the story with Emmet was elaborated more deeply and closely, we were able to arrive at our destination safely, except for the process of notifying Thor of our arrival in advance through a separate contact.

The city that decided to join us by providing a gate leading to Thor did not have a specific name, only being called the Southern Stepping Stone City of Thor for administrative purposes.

I was surprised to find that the gate was created, and even though it was a city of considerable size, it had no name, but Saint Deoni explained that such a city was very common in the demonic territory.

“Compared to the history of the Demonic Spirit, crimes stemming from convenience brought to the fore by the Gate have emerged relatively recently. It has been less than 200 years since the story first appeared, and it has not been more than 10 years since it began to take root. It was later.”

It has the convenience of being able to connect the entire demonic realm, but ironically, this causes security problems and eventually puts restrictions on the convenience. It is said that a strange situation has occurred.

“What these cities have in common is that the gate is located in the center. Being close to the gate is convenient.”
“Is Thor even that new?”
“No, the thor originated for a tactical purpose. To get the troops deployed quickly anywhere.”

At first, there are troops sent to protect the gate, so people flock to it, and as they flock, a commercial district is formed, and as it grows, it becomes a town or city.

The name to classify such cities was ‘stepping stones’.

“In fact, it is rare to establish a city like this. The purpose of the gate was not to build a gate in consideration of a habitable environment, but to prevent crime. Most of them can be seen as serving as outposts.”

Even though they are citizens of a place that has achieved urbanization at best after such efforts and conditions, they move along with the denomination. It would not have been an easy choice, even if it wasn’t leaving forever, but I thought it was great in many ways, and when I told the saintess, she nodded her head and lightly agreed.

It wasn’t that I had a conversation like this out of a sudden surge of interest in the history of the city. Although we have entered the city without any conflict, we are only taking our time because we need to categorize and organize those joining here according to our system for the journey ahead.

Originally, the task should have been carried out over several days, but since the citizens were all prepared according to the contact made before coming here, it was possible to shorten a lot of time by playing human Tetris and adjusting the organization.

I wonder if they talked for about three hours while standing in front of the gate across the city like that.

Count Leitor, who rode up from afar, said with a face full of blood.

“Saint Maid. The organization will be completed soon. The gate will open according to the signal from the trumpeter, so please deliver the message after talking with Lord Thor.”
“It’s fast. Were there any problems?”
“Yes, most of the problems were solved by the residents themselves.”

Hearing the sound of a trumpet sounding in the distance, along with the word that we have prepared well even the areas where problems arise even if we designate food, luggage, transportation, etc., we turn our bodies toward the gate that is starting to open according to the following signal…

” Why do you flinch every time the gate opens?”
“I suffered a lot.”

No matter how strange you look at it, there’s nothing special about it. I don’t think it will get better for a while.

Fortunately, the fortified city of Thor was right behind the gate, following the saintess and the minimum escort force while receiving glare from the surroundings.

I had no way of knowing if it was Thor or somewhere else, but thanks to the visibly relieved saintess and the attitude of the man who showed up to greet us, I was able to tell right away.

“Hey, it’s nice to see you again, saintess! It’s clear that Epaga-nim’s blessing is with you! Oh, is that too obvious for a saintess?”

Draped decorations on thick fur coats. Even that alone was extremely splendid, and he didn’t have to ask to know that the young man, who was so dazzling that he wore jewelry all over his body and was so dazzling that the expression that precious metals were scattered all over his body was lord of Thor.

Not simply because he was dressed in fancy clothes or being the first to speak to him, but because he was alone among the stark stone buildings and soldiers clad in rugged-looking armor.

“It’s the same. Lord Thor.”
“It’s still the same? These are newly added earrings.”

I really had to look like that before, unlike the saintess who was so calm, I had no choice but to manage my expression desperately.

Looking at him with a smirk and pointing to one of the five or six earrings hanging in his ear, it is hard to believe that he is a lord with trustworthy faith.

“Then… this person must be the rumored warrior… but, like the rumors, he’s not as big as two demons combined. It’s a pity.”

No, there are rumors like that again?

While I was about to have a harder time managing my expression, the lord of Thor naturally approached me and bowed his head in a more polite manner than he had shown to the saintess.

“I’ve heard of the hero’s heroic story of trying to save us from a group of wicked people by obeying the will of the demon despite being of different races. I am Del Thor, the lord of the fortified city of Thor.”

But the self-introduction that came out of his mouth was strange.

Del Reitor or del Thor is just a local name attached to the name. In the case of Count Leitor, of Pasirosa Ur Sepia del Leitor, Pasirosa is the first name, and the rest are the middle names of one of the ancestors or parents.

If you shorten it simply, it eventually becomes ‘Leitor’s Pasirosa’. Now that the lord of Thor has excluded all the names that should have been in front of him, it is no different than introducing himself as ‘of Thor’.

“I don’t think you mentioned your full respect.”

I carefully pointed out this part, wondering if he had a geeky temperament, but what came back was a smile and a short nod.

“Hahaha, no. That’s right. I gave up my name.”

Lord Thor, who was shining with all sorts of decorations, even the horns, straightened his back with an answer of unknown meaning, and asked for a handshake, the manner he had just shown was nowhere to be found.

“I heard that I have a job to help you with. I read the outline and found it very interesting. I am very glad to have had the opportunity to use my skills as soon as I saw you.”

My hand was almost robbed for a handshake, but the feeling of bewilderment was stronger than displeasure. It was Saint Deoni who came to our side who cut off the intense handshake that seemed to last forever if left alone.

“You will have time to say hello later. For now, open up your surroundings and prepare to receive people at the stepping stones.”
“Of course, you’re doing this with everything prepared. The saintess just needs to send someone to tell you to come over the gate. First… let’s guide the two of you to a resting place!”

After letting go of my hand, Lord Thor, who spread his hands wide open and showed a smile on his face, clapped lightly, and calmly smiling maids appeared among Thor’s armored soldiers.

Its appearance is also strange. Humans, demons, and maids should not laugh.

“I’ll tell you as we go.”

I was about to turn my head, wondering what this was, but the saintess spoke quietly first, so I kept my mouth shut.

It wasn’t a particularly serious attitude, but the saintess’s mouth opened only when she was in a situation where she could keep some distance from the maids as well as Lord Thor, who was still noisy behind her.

“Lord Thor’s family served the previous demon king. It was such a famous loyalist family that no one would believe it even if they entered the ranks of the current demon king who became the demon king through a rebellion.”

Even though it was a story that started all over again, I understood what he was saying. As if it was obvious that she couldn’t manage her expression this time, the saintess glanced at me and nodded her head slightly without stopping.

“That’s right. They were actually people who had no intention of entering the current demon king, but they tried to bow down to protect the family, city, and people. However, as I said before, their loyalty was so strong that there was only one option: an unconditional purge. It wasn’t left.”

who abandoned his name. Even so, the one who reigns as the lord of Thor.

“In order to get in the eyes of such a demon lord, the lord of Thor had to purify the former lord of Thor, his aides and his family with his own hands, and offer their heads to the demon lord. Regardless of his own will.”

Thor’s pervert.

It was an acronym for Lord Thor in the world.
