Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 163

It's not as good as the potion I received last time in the Empire, but I can clearly see the wound healing, so Envelde's potion must have been surprisingly high quality..

But apart from that, this experience was a bitter one in many ways, so I couldn't help but sigh deeply..

"Ha, it's time for a cigarette. Does this guy not smoke??"

This wasn't a joke, so I actually searched the desk, but unfortunately, all I found was a case containing a liquor bottle and a glass..

It was like the calm before the storm right now. I couldn't drink alcohol when I knew I might have to have another one soon, so I just sighed and waited for my body to heal..

Physical abilities? He says he's 15, but I look like I'm 18. In fact, he has grown to the point where he doesn't need to be any taller, and his muscles are solid. It's close to what I accumulated while swinging a sword and running around, so I can confidently say that it's a compression of actual combat..

fence? I can't boast that I have any knowledge of it, but honestly, I think it's true that I wasn't impressed..

Just because this world has magic and aurors, fighting doesn't mean that you're fighting by trying to attack the phone like you see in common cartoons. In the end, it's just that transcendent people who surpass ordinary physical abilities use their transcendent power to demonstrate human skills..

They say that the skills are similar, but the abilities have been leveled upward..

Rather, it's almost like it would be quicker to refer to a cartoon I saw in my past life for something subtly realistic yet fantasy-like. When I swing my sword in a certain situation, I hold the pommel just in the nick of time to extend the range as much as possible to cut, or something like that..

"It wouldn't be unfair if there was something like the fish and swords in the world.."

Then, since the swordsmanship I have learned is ordinary, I will be able to achieve the mental victory that I am only relatively weak..

Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no world where such special sword techniques exist. Please, I'd like to get some somewhere, but I don't think it's available..

In other words, the biggest reason why I got stabbed by Envelde was not a physical or swordsmanship issue..

experience. and auror.

In the end, the biggest cause was there.

It's an experience... Well, I understand. And there is a way to do that. But Aurors are a completely different matter..

"I can't have a near-death experience every time, it's really embarrassing.."

My senses were enlightened when I crossed the gate for the first time, and it is certain that my eyes opened a little while fighting the demon. At least, we can be sure that at that time, it was not possible to perform stunts such as swinging a sword with magical energy like now. I also know that ordinary Auror users have achieved great results that cannot even be imagined..

However, the problem was that it could not overwhelm even a single Envelde that was scared by the demons..

This is a very serious problem because I only deal with humans and my goal is not to be unmatched. Aurors have predecessors, but my magic has no predecessors..

"Should I at least look for a demon teacher?."

I can't just vaguely think that I will grow up someday, so I have to find a way, but I can't find an answer within my common sense and knowledge, so it feels like a sweet potato is stuck in my throat..

"First of all... I should at least discuss it with Asilier.."

In the end, there was nothing flashing until the wound healed to some extent and movement was no longer impeded. The only thing that is there is a murmur slowly coming back from below and the rain that has stopped..

I won just fine compared to when I pulled out the devil's head, but I'm not even half as satisfied, so it's just miserable..

"Yes, how many times have you had your way in life?."

I took my body off the desk I was leaning against with the feeling of taking care of some chores I had put off, put Envelde's sword on my waist and put Gish's sword back in my case, and then approached Envelde's body..

The nobles in the capital do not have many private armies. There is no need to deliberately create an environment where it is easy for them to band together and commit treason.?

I think the number of people I cut down after entering Envelde House was around 30, but even so, there were people who followed Gish's words and ran away, such as lying about the number of people hired, or filling all the people to run the house with combat personnel. This is a story at the level of putting it in..

But it still shouldn't be as loud as the buzz below..

"Then who are they?."

Could it be the Kingdom Army that rushed in to sort out the situation? Or are they other nobles who took advantage of the opportunity and sent support to Envelde to score more points? Either way was good. Because both were problems that had to be resolved in the end..

"If it's the former, some people will give up the fight just by confirming Envelde's death.."

It was a bit hard to cut off the head of an already dead guy, but it was necessary..

"I'm sorry about that."

I meant it..

Because there was no longer any grudge against Envelde, who had become kind..

◈

Even though the rain stopped, there was no change in the darkness in Lethrom's heart..

He was someone who never spoke out loud about his true feelings, but this time, it was difficult for him not to mutter something in a very low whisper..

"It's really... mind-blowing.."

When a person who identified himself as a person who serves dreams suddenly came in, I was honestly excited to see if something interesting would happen. And while something did happen, it was never fun. I could have sworn it was the worst thing ever..

'They should have put up surveillance at least....'

Unfortunately, reality did not even give us time to leisurely regret such regrets. The moment he heard that Elde Mia had entered Envelde's home alone, he took out her contact crystal ball before she could believe his ears..

My thoughts were shallow. Since I only touched the surrounding area, I thought it would follow my movements..

The royal family also predicted that there was a possibility that they would pay a price if they made a mistake, but they thought that it would be after everything was completed..

Who would have thought that just because there was a threat of assassination, they would immediately rush into the mansion of the capital's nobles, especially the count??

There were more than one or two problems. The first problem is Envelde’s skills..

No matter how unrivaled talent Eldmia was, Envelde was an Auror expert who had spent half her life on the battlefield. He was a person who was well-regarded at the time, so much so that the fact that many knights and soldiers joined his rebellion was related to his experience. No matter how much had happened in a short period of time, it was not easy for Lethrom to picture Eldmia defeating Envelde in his mind..

The second problem is the aftermath of Eldmia's defeat or death..

The Iron Blood Princess has already clearly stated her position. Although she did not have an official position, and she was a very principled gatekeeper, she was a bit squeamish, but her royal associates certainly accepted her position..

But what if Eldmia dies? She is unable to defend Envelde's self-defense, which she was planning to deal with because she plotted treason anyway, but if that happens, she will not be able to open her mouth even if the Iron Blood Princess holds the royal family responsible for neglect of management..

It was too big of a deal to say that he died after running wild. Since there is no way to clearly prove the injustice, no matter what you say, it looks like an excuse. Just because the empire doesn't even listen, puts us in a position where we can't even claim that it's unfair..

"Answering Zen questions and questions like a snarky snake is only possible when the level is similar...."

The third problem is what if Eldmia really devastated Envelde Mansion alone and then killed him?.

Since we had made a lot of preparations to deal with Envelde anyway, it was not impossible to ensure his safety and give probability to his actions..

However, it is not enough to completely ignore it. It will cause a huge backlash, and the movement calling for him to be checked or sanctioned will grow, and if things go as planned, many of the plans that were intended to be attempted through Eldmia will be grounded or postponed..

"Like a bold friend."

Eldmia must have calculated the situation and acted to some extent, even if not perfectly..

15The boy, who I couldn't believe was a year old, always made a move, aiming for exactly when there would be no problem..

"dismissal. The scouts are back."

In order to resolve the whole situation as quickly as possible, I turned my head towards the knight who reported to Duke Lesrom, who was heading to the mansion with his soldiers on horseback instead of a carriage in the heavy rain. The scouts who had been ordered to come were running down the street..

"Report! The Envelde Mansion was completely destroyed, even the main building! Those who appear to be private soldiers of other nobles are guarding the front, and their number is about a hundred.!"

The core report, which omitted the scouting process that clearly recognized the seriousness of the situation, was extremely satisfactory..

It was said that at least five traitors led a private army and rushed to lick the Congo water. Of course, in Lethrom's opinion, it was not soybean paste but rat poison... but it was none of his business since other people were going to eat it anyway..

"The situation inside the mansion?"

"There was no movement. However..."

Lethrom prayed, feeling that it had been a long time since he had been so anxious about the words that followed the conjunction..

I hope they're both still alive.

"We confirmed that a person who appears to be Eldmia Egar... is standing in the main building holding a supply belonging to someone believed to be Count Bosha.."

His prayers were betrayed, but once again Lesrom had to press on with all his might without any room for resentment..
