Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 120

despair. fear. chaos. sadness. unrest.

Unlike his body, which couldn't hold back all the negative emotions rushing in at once and screamed, Zikmel's head moved toward the best option to deal with the situation..

"this person!! I know who it is!! I did something stupid.!"

Siegmel, who saw Ben with a swollen face that clearly looked like he had been crushed and grasped the situation, flew into the air with a loud cry to save his sanity and hit Ben with a spectacular flying kick..

-Wow!!

"Ugh! sorry! sorry!!"

Ben, who tried with all his might while stomping on the documents on the desk, hit the target with a flying kick, and Zikmel, who attempted a flying kick, fell on the floor together. Not only did he kick his subordinate with all his might, but he also stepped on and jumped on him with all his might, making a mess on his desk, but Siegmel showed no regrets whatsoever..

Rather, Sikmel had the confidence to confidently assert at any time that it was the ideal choice that took care of both himself and his subordinates in this situation. But that wasn't enough, so Siegmel couldn't even think of getting up from his fallen position, so he hit his head on the floor with a loud thud and cried out..

"Have you been on a high level during this time? Eldmia Eganim!!"

"right? You know me, right??"

I thought that if I showed such a strong reaction, it would have been enough to make me hesitate, but I wonder what kind of life I have been living, and the fear that manifested itself was so calm..

I clicked my tongue at the sight, but thought, 'I'm sure I've seen it, but where have I seen it before?' Zikmel's whole body got goosebumps because of Eldmia worrying..

You can't hide it..

Even what Eldmia thinks of first can be a risk factor. Zikmel's intelligence and instincts, based on years of experience as an informant, sent the same signal..

At that time, I already sent him away with both legs broken, so it is clear that there will be no end to it. On the contrary, Zikmel judged that he could be punished for being vaguely silent, thinking that he was trying to avoid a mistake, so he taunted his tongue..

"This is Zikmel, who said insulting things about his housemate, the elf, in Ogwen without even knowing the topic, but was able to survive safely because he showed mercy by only breaking his leg!! Hello after a long time!! And I'm sorry for not educating her subordinates properly.!!"

Zikmel hit his head on the floor repeatedly to the point where it sounded like a bang, but there was no time for him to feel any pain..

For him, the second coming of fear, which he felt for the first time in many years, did not allow him to feel pain..

"ah! At that time, I told you about the warehouse.?"

"That's right!"

"Wow, the world is such a small place. was in the capital?"

Siegmel thought that even though it was really narrow, it was so narrow that it would burst and if he could get through today safely, he would want to pack his bags and go to the Empire..

However, taking into account his reaction, which seemed like he didn't even think he was there, the fact that the gang member he brought in was a person selling stolen goods, and the fact that he didn't storm in and destroy the hideout even though he was brought in, he approached him as a guest. After evaluating it calmly, I was surprisingly hopeful..

"Now, thanks to Eldmia Egan, I have gained new insight and am keeping my distance from violence and working as an information dealer! Just because you came in so quietly without destroying everything from the entrance, I heard the story through Ben and expected that my skills as an information dealer would be needed! Hey Zikmel! I'll do my best to find it, so just leave it to me.!!"

"Huh. I don't know anything else, but I do know that you have become very smart. From speaking to understanding the situation, it's not an easy bet.?"

"I am proud that I am doing well here! please! It would be helpful!"

Please, please don't just pull out the knife..

4I was tall even a year ago, but now I feel like I'm looking at a knight in armor even though I'm just wearing a uniform. Siegmel stopped breathing and waited for Eldmia's answer, suppressing the strong question that was creeping up on him as to what kind of person he could fight with..

"I originally came here with the intention of destroying half of them, but how good is it that we can communicate so well? You will pass just because you have clearly instilled your beliefs. wake up. My head hurts. But now that I'm the head of the organization, I have to take care of my face.."

And Zikmel's wish came true..

It worked. survived.

Siegmel almost shed tears of joy as he looked at the horrors of the past that lifted him up..

◈

"But what I need is something related to nobility. I'm not familiar with your industry, but I know that it's a distinct field. Is it possible??"

I asked a question while helping Zikmel, who was hitting his head with the threat of splitting his own skull, to his feet..

To begin with, the past was the past and he had already had his beliefs instilled in him, so it didn't matter if he just treated me normally, but since he reacted so dramatically, I naturally started to treat him kindly too..

By the way, Zikmel, who paid the price for his poor vocabulary with his bones, not only became disabled, but also managed a side job by proudly running an intelligence business in a corner of the capital. It must have been only about 4 years, but he must have lived a very harsh life..

"I have been feeding my family with only information related to nobles from other cities! It could definitely help!"

"Confident look, very cool! Still, this is a bit ambiguous. First of all, I want to finish talking about that guy after he gets bitten...."

"Sure! Ben! Go outside and don't let anyone come in until I say so...no, no car! Just bring the car and don’t let anyone else come after that.!"

"four captain!"

Ben, who runs out with lightning speed, seems to be quite good at leading the organization, as is his attitude. I don't know what he realized after being beaten by me, but at this level, it's a natural change..

I went back to the desk where I had made a mess, pushed all the documents on the desk to the side, and sat down on the chair, impressed by Zikmel, who greeted me neatly, and then got straight to the point..

"There's a traitor in the capital. I want to find some information about that bastard. I know it's dangerous, so I won't force you to find out. I'm just giving it a try because I got a chance.."

Siegmel, who had become an ordinary citizen with extremely common sense, began to panic, his eyes widening at the mere mention of treason. Yes, I completely understand. Because the word treason originally has that much weight..

"Well, how did you know that??"

"Today... wait. The tone is a bit strange.?"

Rather than asking how you got that feeling... I feel like I'm asking you how you knew the 'fact' that there was a traitor? if...?

"do you know something?"

"...yes."

It's nice to see that you're accepting rather than trying to fool me or pretending not to know. If I had tried to hide it, I would have had to think about the possibility that this guy was involved in treason..

By the way, I didn't expect that there would be such a thing as a raffle draw. is not it? Should we still wait and see??

After gathering his thoughts for a moment while stroking the stubble that had begun to grow on his chin, Siegmel continued speaking without any sign of hiding..

"I moved to the capital about three months ago, and I heard some stories from the city I was in before. It is said that in some areas, actions that violate the king's orders are often observed. I thought this might be an opportunity to settle down in the capital, so I left it to my subordinates and ran. Still, I haven't been able to find a single clue for fear that someone might be treasonous... About 5 days ago? What did you keep spilling?."

"Spilling? what?"

"Ah, information. Should I say that I can't control it well, or should I say that I keep missing things one by one because I'm in such a hurry to hide things that I've been meticulously hiding. I would say it looks like someone sprayed it on purpose... I'm not sure I can explain it well, but it feels that way anyway.."

Muttering that he must have organized it somewhere here, Zikmel deftly rummaged through the mountain of documents piled up on another desk, and continued speaking as he found several pieces of paper and laid them down in front of me..

"At first, I thought that Margrave Levien, who was simply visiting the Empire, was preparing to branch out in a factional fight with the King faction in the House of Nobles due to his sudden success there, but his movements were a bit strange. Rather, isn't the King's faction quiet and noisy within the Noble House? Aren't the young emerging nobles suddenly becoming quiet amongst themselves in an unusual way? Some members of the old aristocratic faction suddenly distanced themselves from some of the new aristocratic faction with whom they had been getting along well.."

It turns out that the back alley bum I treated as a half-asshole has actually evolved in terms of information.!

Is it because it's a field I don't know anything about? How can you talk about such trivial things and feel so professional even though you're just touching a piece of paper??

"And then this is what I found out. Several years ago, after Margrave Levien was devastated by the Demon King's army, his fate was unknown at the time. So, there appears to be a nobleman who invested quite a lot of wealth and manpower to find Ragnis Lienne da Levien, the daughter of the previous Margrave Levien.."

"I searched through old times and found it.?"

"There is a lot more gold dust information found this way than you might think.."

The document handed over by Zikmel contained detailed personal information of a nobleman..

"Of course, I thought it would be because there was a legacy from the previous Margrave Levien, but it looks like he was secretly moving like a thief. So, after digging a little harder, the result was... that's it.."

"The loan business, the slave market, and the number of private soldiers raised in the border area weren't enough, so they may have even come into contact with demons.?"

"You don't know how scary the law is, so you run wild as if it's your own world and everyone you see is shaking.."

Isn't this a charge of treason that cannot be dismissed? No, but the kingdom didn't know information that even Zikmel could know....

"Knowing this is why Duke Lesrom reacted that way.."

"Oh, the duke.?"

"uh. I was on my way back from a recent meeting. I don't know if this bastard is that bastard, but that's where I heard about the traitor.."

".....oh my god. An attendant of Margrave Levien who was said to have been stabbed in a temporary detention center. Was that Eldmia??!"

"and. It's really amazing. Has that information already arrived? No, information is provided so quickly, but why did you respond by saying you didn’t know I existed??"

Isn't it even more surprising that the guy who was just pouring out so much information had no idea that I was in the capital or that I was still active??

"This is because stories about nobles ultimately flow out of relationships. The more nobles stay confined to their homes, the more difficult it is to obtain information. Margrave Levien is definitely that type... huh? Then, in this imperial incident, he defeated the hero and saved the princess....?"

"Wow, I'm so embarrassed to hear this again in a place like this.."

I was truly embarrassed and burst out laughing even though it was a serious situation..

Separately, I started to feel fear when I saw Zikmel looking at me, and in order to resolve this trivial misunderstanding, I had to argue with him until his subordinate came out..

I don't know why there is so much fear in a subject who has such an insane talent that he was able to gather so much information on his own in just over four years. In fact, isn't this the equivalent of being caught and stabbed to death if you miss a step??

When I asked that, the answer I got was simple..

"In the end, these guys still haven't found me, but isn't Eldemia right in front of me?."

It's so true that I have nothing to say..

I think it's worth considering that the effect of instilling beliefs is so good..
