Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 562

“What were you thinking when you acted like that?”

It was Saint Deoni’s question that flew right after the lord of Thor, sweating and leaving the papers.

There is no feeling of being questioned or criticized. Well, if that was the case, he wouldn’t have taken my side, even without an explanation. I put the answer to the question in my mouth only after confirming that the presence of people outside the waiting room had disappeared.

“I think it’s clear that Del Thor is acting.”
“…I don’t think it’s an explanation for the action you just took.”
“Your personality is also impatient. Now, let’s think about it. Assuming that the return of the demon king is true, and I assume that I am a variable that destroys the benefits of his return one after another. The fact that we came all the way to this place must have never happened in the previous world. ?”
“……That’s right, that’s right.”
“Under that assumption, in the world before the return, Del Thor has never rebelled against the demon king, so isn’t he still acting as a lord?”
“ah.”

It’s not that I doubt the divine power. However, not all priests can make unilateral sacrifices for others.

I don’t know how to dedicate myself, but as a lord, Del Thor has the duty and responsibility to protect the territories.

“Just because he accepted us, we still thought it was too early to consider him fully on our side.”
“So did you come up with a plan to put pressure on it?”
“Yes. Actually, I thought I should wait a little longer or leave a precipitation… I was able to advance it because I made an unintentional mistake over there.”

Although it was a brief moment, he is by no means incompetent. You can be half-assured just by catching my gaze. If I hadn’t been able to grasp the value of the trinkets he bought, I would have thought he was nothing more than a thoughtless, immature idiot.

I think that the fact that he came this far and clumsily appealed his incompetence is likely because he didn’t want to step into something important, unlike what he showed on the outside.

“Perhaps he can throw us away as much as he wants for the sake of his family and city. At least he must have done that before the return, and because of that, I think the demon lord also established del Thor as his lord.”

Perhaps, even at this moment, the Demon King may think that Del Thor will slap us on the back of the head and side with the Demon King’s army. Wouldn’t they think we drank from the poisoned chalice?

First of all, it doesn’t look like Del Thor has such thoughts.

“That means he’s a ball-like person who doesn’t know where to bounce just by maintaining the status quo, so it’s better to give him an excuse to move a little more actively.”

There is nothing good about leaving room for other thoughts, so I plan to use my hands in advance.

◈

Even before the church entered the city, Del Thor understood at once that their movement would be an opportunity for genius.

No one could have imagined that the Church would be able to inflict enormous damage to the Special Operations Department by arriving at Leitor with no damage after taking unconventional steps from one to ten.

And in general, just because nobody foresaw it means that only the fast-footed can jump on the bandwagon and benefit from its ramifications.

Of course, no matter how dramatic the movement is, there are cases where it is only a temporary change stemming from thorough coincidence. However, the feats that the Church has accomplished from the moment Rengi and Epaga Sierra left until now are too unusual to be dismissed as mere coincidence.

Because of that, Del Thor was sure that the church would provide the most perfect timing to wield the blade of vengeance he had sharpened so far. Even if he didn’t provide it, he thought that he could use it sufficiently if he and everyone else joined forces.

To be exact, I thought so until a few days ago.

“The champion… noticed my acting.”

At a meeting held by only those who had been loyal to the family for a long time, only those with extraordinary loyalty, Del Thor, who had been hesitant for a long time, struggled to open up his power, and the ten retainers became visibly embarrassed and began to mumble.

It’s about ten years.

Del Thor was the man who acted as a prodigal son and a pervert by deceiving the entire demon tribe for decades, deceiving many people even to the point where he was not sure even if he had doubts. Some, whenever they reflect on his past, often say that it may be fortunate that Del Thor survived.

Because they had been watching the prudence and meticulousness from the side, no one could easily believe it even though the person in question said it himself.

“Young…no, Sogaju, could you tell me what the reason for making that decision?”

Because of Del Thor’s belief that he could not be the lord until the day he avenged the family’s resentment and that he couldn’t be the head of the household because he was beaten, not obtained by proving his qualifications, the vassal forced himself to use an awkward title and asked a question, He was an elderly man who had worked as an aide and butler to the former lord of Thor all his life.

“I’m not taking the hero’s abilities lightly… We’ve seen how well Sogaju has been fooling the outside world, so it’s not easy to believe what you just said. Sogaju Didn’t you even deceive the eyes of the special operations department? How could you figure out Sogaju with just that brief meeting?”

Externally, he is known to have retired from the front lines and educated employees normally, but he is not only a mentor and advisor to Del Thor that everyone acknowledges, but also that Del Thor often has the possibility of making mistakes under depression and self-pessimistic judgment. He was also a person who knew exactly what to do.

It may be the same this time as the giant is on the verge of death. Thinking so, he carefully brought up the story, but there was no hesitation in the answer that came back.

“I’ve already heard the circumstances to some extent through the saintess… but the decisive factor was the ornaments.”
“yes…?”

Less than two days after the troublesome plan to spread absurd lies about dragons and demigods was passed, the hero Eldmia came to Del Thor in person. that happened this morning.

Even if the original hero was annoying, he was going to visit and act frivolous. It would have been like that right away if he hadn’t been entrusted with the heavy duty of unleashing a huge lie that he couldn’t handle and spreading it to his enemies.

The original purpose was not to leave an unreliable impression and take on a heavy responsibility based on the distrust that stemmed from it, but to take on the role of conveying the decisions the hero and saintess made, and to grasp the intentions and abilities of the two.

I didn’t know at the time how the plan had been ruined from the start. There was no time to find out if both the hero and the saint were ignorant, good people, or had other ideas.

Now that this has happened, I have warmed up my hospitality more than usual in order to find out what the hell he was thinking while building a friendship with the hero.

‘I see, the lord’s aesthetic sense is unique. If it were me, it would have been less than half the price you said.’

Realizing that it was a handshake, it was already after a long time of heated explanations about accessories and jewelry.

I laughed it off at first. He seems to be interested in jewelry, so I just asked him a few things to suit his interests.

If so, how do you see this, how is this, and so on.

A really insignificant conversation ensued, but each time something cold gradually ran down Del Thor’s spine and climbed up to the back of his back.

“I don’t know why, but that warrior has knowledge that only butlers would know.”

The hero calculated by reducing the value of all accessories by half.

At first, I took out the jewelry that I didn’t tell you about the value because I thought I was measuring myself, but the warrior’s eyes were accurate.

‘This… after talking about it, instead of properly judging from one to ten, they calculate it at half price. If it were me, I would never have dreamed of investing like the lord.’

I realized it only after seeing the brave warrior. Just as he tried to understand the hero, the hero also tried to understand himself…

‘Come to think of it, even when I entered the reception room, he accurately noticed my gaze. That keen eye seems to be on display even in a place like this.’

…that I quickly figured out.

‘For such a lord to take charge of this plan, there must be good results. I’m looking forward to it.’

How many thoughts did you have in that short moment of just a few seconds?

It’s not del Thor’s hobby to play the idiot, the prodigal, and the idiot.

This is like a lifeline that you must hold on to forever unless you are certain that you can decapitate the demon king. It was for that reason that he could not immediately reveal his acting on the spot.

There is no certainty that the hero will protect this secret, and there is no certainty that the hero and the church will always win against the demon king. However, there was a certainty that even if they helped with their plans, dramatic changes in the charter world would not occur.

No matter how powerful rumors are, these rumors do not have enough ripple power to shake the demon lord’s army. It could have been so ineffective that it was hard to understand why they would bother to spread such rumors.

It was appropriate to help moderately and create moderate debt. In some cases, while unraveling information clumsily enough to claim to the Demon King’s army that he had bowed down to act as a double spy.

If you actively intervene for no reason and the church collapses, you can’t take it out or remove it. With the bat-like image that has been built up so far, it is no longer a matter of the area where you can somehow endure.

So I used my head, but I thought the opponent was on top of it.

Thinking that the world is a series of absurdities, Del Thor, who burst into laughter at the same time, opened his mouth slowly as he looked around at his retainers.

“My mistake… I think I’ll have to make a decision in a hurry.”

It is clear that those absurd remarks were aimed at himself, not at the Demon King’s army.

If you solve the problem halfway through, the warrior who notices your performance will respond. In order to prevent that, you have to act as if you are completely on the side of the Church and actively work.

“I think this situation is extraordinary. The human race’s offensive is extraordinary, and the Church’s miraculous actions are continuing day after day, so there may be an opportunity to really kill that demon king.”

However, even in such a dramatic offensive, the Demon King’s army was only pushed back at first, but quickly stabilized the front line.

“But if you jump on the bandwagon and fail, I think there will be no turning back.”

Everyone gathered here knows what that means, without having to talk about it. The vassals looked at the old man in the role of advisor as if they had promised, and the old man nodded briefly before speaking in a calm tone.

“We are always ready to follow Sogaju’s decision from the day Sogaju inherited the will of the head of household.”

Do as you please.

Del Thor quietly closed his eyes, seeing his vassals pledging unwavering loyalty with the utmost sincerity.
