Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 104

Asilier's routine is ordinary..

Even though it has been over a year and a half since Eldmia left for the capital, her routine has not changed much compared to the time she was with him. Although she was unable to refuse Alicia's repeated favors and requests and ended up staying at her inn, most of Asilier's work was done in her cabin in the woods..

So today, as usual, Alicia woke up early in the morning, got ready, and came down to the first floor to greet her..

"Good morning Asilier."

"Good morning Alicia. I’m looking forward to today’s stew because it looks really delicious.."

Even though Asilier always wakes up around 6 a.m., Alicia wakes up even earlier and prepares the day's dishes without fail..

Even though it was only two years, there were many changes in Ogwen and the inn. Most of the city's outskirts were surrounded by walls, and the city continued to develop to the point where it was difficult to see what it was like a few years ago, and the inn was now a nursery and restaurant sponsored by the Holy Light Cross Society..

It may have been Eldmia and Ragnis who took the first step, but in the end, the Holy Light Cross recognized Alicia's dedication and decided not to have any doubts. And that part was hard to believe, even for Asilier..

Although the Holy Light Cross Society attempted to carry out many charitable projects in a gentle manner within the city, it was truly rare for them to join hands with worldly figures and provide full-scale sponsorship. If they felt there was a need for an orphanage, they would rather build a building, and being recognized by them was no different from saying that they would treat them as fellow believers..

How on earth in the first place? I had some doubts, but now I know. Alicia doesn't just have a religion, but she leads a life of devotion no different from a religious person..

"Are you coming home this evening too??"

I don't know when she started making it, but Asilier responded with a smile to Alicia, who was serving her a bowl of already-finished stew..

"I think it’s similar to yesterday. There isn't much more work to do, and preparations for winter are almost finished.."

The sun had not yet risen, so while we talked and ate by the lamp, the children got up and started helping Alicia with her work. Among her dogs, there were children who were probably not even 10 years old yet, but she saw that each one of them smiled and moved without complaining, and she felt herself smile..

"Then I'll be back.."

"Come back, sister.!"

"Have a nice trip, sister!"

Asilier came out, responding with a smile to the children who waved their hands and saw them off, saddled and spurred the horse that was resting in a newly built stable..

Her routine was always the same, except when she had adventurer work to do. She goes to the hut, tends to the unused livestock, inspects the house, and then goes down to the ruins where the village used to be, to tidy up the tombs where Eldmia's parents lie and the small pantheon that stands next door..

The pantheon, which was far from sophisticated, was merely an imitation of the previous pantheon carved out of wood by Eldmia. Although the boy did not clearly believe in a specific god, he did not have any doubts about faith, and even though no one taught him, he did not even make an offering to his parents..

Just by taking a short walk around the cabin after finishing her daily routine, Asilier was able to reminisce about the past without difficulty..

I would have rather followed along. In the night when Eldmia left, Asillie thought about a lot of things. Even after Eldmia fell asleep, she looked at his face and changed her decision countless times to go with him..

Amidst countless temptations, she decided to create and protect a place where people who had nowhere to return could return..

There was no option to follow along. In that case, it was clear that he would have blocked the way out of fear of Eldmia's death..

Not for his sake, but for your own selfishness..

Time passed quickly as I worked and thought about all the random things I had always done. To be precise, it was close to moving without stopping in the hope that it would go by quickly, and fortunately, time did pass quickly..

At lunch time, when we finished a quick meal and were taking a rest at the cabin, a visitor appeared, announcing the end of our daily routine, which no one had ever visited before..

"Asilier! Are you there??"

A woman's voice shouts as soon as she rushes on horseback. However, since it was a voice she did not remember, Asilier was on guard and took out her bow and killed her pretender..

For a brief moment, I thought about whether something had happened recently that could have caused trouble, but I couldn't think of anything. Ogwen's adventurer's guild was calm and quiet, as is typical for border guilds, and even if there were minor troubles, it was even more so because it was lenient in many ways toward Asilier, who was more of a settled adventurer..

Above all, there are only a few people who know the exact location of the cabin. It was hard to believe that a situation where someone you had never met before came to see you was a normal situation..

And her predictions turned out to be bad..

"My name is Entire Hayaloi of the Frost Leaf Tribe! I am a colleague of the hero Siegfried, and I have come as an envoy of the empire because I need your help with the matter of Lord Eldmia.!"

Quang! She kicked down the door without realizing it and jumped out, scaring the young elf on her horse, but Asilier didn't even have time to offer her an apology..

"What does that mean? Eldi... I need help with Eldmia's business.?"

"Well, nice to meet you, Asilier. I got to meet a high elf from the Blue Vine tribe...."

Entire quickly calmed down the startled horse and greeted him politely, but unfortunately, it was the worst move in the current situation. Instead of answering her question, Asilier slammed her door and screamed at her self-introduction..

"What are you talking about?!"

"Hehe! sorry! I'll skip it! We need to confirm Lord Eldmia's location! earring! Earrings made by Asilier! It's the only magic tool that Lord Eldmia has! With that, you need to find out the location and teleport.!"

Elves have no class.

Nevertheless, among all tribes, high elves were special. This is not because they are strong or have excellent bloodlines, but because they have passed the trials of the World Tree and have their status recognized..

Therefore, even though the High Elves did not have a particularly high status or power, the Elves naturally treated them with preferential treatment and revered them. And people like Entire, who were accustomed to the human class society, had a fear born of awe..

Of course, it wasn't something Asilier had to be considerate of now..

"Guide me!"

Entire was secretly grateful to Asilier, who shouted as he got on his horse without a word, and immediately rode his horse to do as he was told..

Since it wasn't that far away, returning to Ogwen was an instant. But even that felt too long for Asilier..

When she arrived in front of Alicia's inn following Entire, what greeted Asilier were many unfamiliar faces and the familiar face of Ragnis, but looking at the atmosphere, it was not difficult to guess that she had not come as a representative..

With their appearance, not only Alicia but the entire city was in a state of considerable confusion, but this time Asili had no time to worry about them..

When she hurriedly got off the horse, the first person to speak to her was a girl who looked smaller and younger than herself, with transparent white hair slicked back..

"While searching for her, Eldmia passed through a gate whose coordinates had changed to somewhere in the empire.."

Even though it was clear that he was of a higher position than anyone else present, Asilier knew that the fact that he went straight to the main topic without any greeting was because he was taking the situation seriously, so Asili nodded without any question..

The story I heard from Entire and what I just said was enough reason to follow them. I really didn't want to waste any more time in a situation where Eldmia might be in danger..

"That was enough of an explanation. Let's go."

"hmm. Marquis of Vendet. the gate."

Asilier had to flinch involuntarily at the fact that it was the Marquis who immediately gave orders as if he had made a promise. As the blond man called the Marquis of Vende took out a small cube from her arms and prepared something for her, Ragnis came up next to her and quietly took her hand, and Asilier relieved her anxious heart. I asked her to calm her down a little..

"Ragnis. What did L.D. do again this time??"

"...He saved the princess of the empire from the demons' clutches and flew off somewhere alone.."

Although there was a lot to say up front, I was a little concerned that there was a strong nuance of omitting it for now, but since it was already surprising enough, Asilier decided not to ask further questions about what Ragnis had omitted..

"We will open a temporary gate leading to Itisel's capital. Afterwards, we will go to the capital of the empire and determine the location with the help of imperial wizards. Is there anything else you can ask??"

"no. Not at the moment."

And no matter how much I saved her, I wanted to ask why someone as high as a princess was moving, but now was not the time, so I promised it to later..
