Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 312

I don't know if it was because the project was carried out in a situation where everything was on the verge of being blown away due to treason, but Raviel's reaction was so immediate that even a guard in the village could tell..

How do you know? In just one night, the sky became as clear as a lie, and the movements of the dragon flying in all directions could be seen even from the village watchtower. I've heard that when they need to send an urgent report, they fly at a normal altitude, but then fly at a higher altitude than usual to eliminate the possibility of friction with other flying dragons, but even though I lived in the capital for about two years, this was the first time I actually saw one..

"Hmm, isn't it? Was it simply that I was looking at the sky less??"

Looking back, I think that may be true. Even in her past life, when she didn't have much time to spare, she lived for months without ever raising her head higher than a two-story building. It's such an open world that I wasn't particularly aware of it, but it's also true that I can't completely rule out cases where I'm suddenly attacked from the air, so I have to consciously look at the sky..

I was sitting in the watchtower leisurely, lost in such sentiments, when I heard Abnam calling me from below..

"Eldmia! The mercenary who went to Raviel has returned.!"

When I called him the guy whose arm was cut off, he carefully told me his name. It was already difficult to sing, but I have definitely evolved into a perceptive person..

"alone?"

"no! I came with a driver! Administrator Ciel told me to come by for a moment because the representatives will meet at the pantheon for a meeting.!"

It was a very positive story to come with someone, but the subject was unexpected. There are only three knights who can reside in the gateway city, so they selected one from there and sent it? It comes out strong?

"Aside from the meeting, the article? Age is?"

"Uh... he looked young?"

What, why is the back in question?.

I looked at Abnam with suspicious eyes as it was an unexpected reaction to an unexpected visitor, but he just hesitated, and with the confidence that it was too late to get a proper answer, I came down from the lookout..

"Please stand on duty for me for a moment. I will be back."

"yes! Take your time leisurely!"

I felt uneasy because it felt like I was being scammed during work, but since I had taken over the position of representative of the adventurers by force, I had no choice but to go, so I promised myself that I would at least buy a bottle of alcohol from the kitchen and give it to him when I returned later, and headed towards the Pantheon as he had told me..

It was natural that the orcs did not arrive during the night, but it was very refreshing that a knight visited on behalf of Raviel so early in the morning, even though additional reports were made late. As I thought that this could mean that Raviel is currently short of adventurers, I wondered why there was such a shortage of workers..

Did the guild leader do more things than expected? In that case, Englem and the Gateway City Adventurer's Guild can only be said to have had a screw loose. I think I'll need to find some time later to catch up with Badna and ask her what the atmosphere is like..

"Ah, you're here! Everyone is waiting inside!"

Since the distance from the watchtower was not that far, arrival was instantaneous. After giving a quick hello to Jacob, who was on duty today as usual, I went inside and naturally the eyes of the people inside turned to me. My gaze fell on the knight in gleaming armor, and I felt like I knew why Abnam had reacted so ambiguously to the question about his age..

No matter how many times you look at the blond young man with a sad look who looks quite normal on the outside, he looks like he is only in his early twenties..

In other words, unless you are a genius, you are a knight who has just been ordained. In contrast, the armor he is wearing literally shines, and the sword he wears around his waist is not cheap, but rather has appropriate decoration and gold leafing to appeal that it is worth the price..

These are equipment that an average knight starting out without any background can never dream of..

"Lord Visquente, this is Eldmia Egar, a class adventurer who represents the opinions of adventurers. Eldmia? This is Sir Visquete da Raviel, a knight dispatched from the gateway city of Raviel.."

Fortunately, Ciel took the initiative and saved us the trouble of figuring out his identity. Anyway, I thought Raviel was just a gateway city that could be swayed at every turn, but that doesn't seem to be the case. At my age, I would definitely be the heir, but I never thought I would be thrust into a place where I might have to deal with hundreds of orcs..

It is a very calm reaction to believe that he simply used it as a throwaway card to prove his loyalty to the royal family, so it is likely that he is confident in his abilities or that he intends to receive stable support and achieve an achievement no matter what means and methods are used..

"This is Eldmia Egar, a low-level adventurer. I am also a witness who personally went on this reconnaissance and confirmed the Orc village.."

When I greeted him with a simple bow, the corners of Bisquente's mouth, which didn't look like he was smiling, naturally went up..

"It's nice that the witness is the manager, so I don't have to go through the hassle of working. Raviel did not take the story about the appearance of the Orc army as nonsense and began to mobilize everything he could. If your observations are correct, you will be greatly rewarded later.."

He is a smart friend who knows how to maintain a position of power, use honorifics, appropriately package his actions, show trust, and even threaten. It smelled like a good talent, so I smiled politely and responded..

"If the village's safety is secured, it will be entirely thanks to Raviel's quick and wise response. The reputation of Lord Visquente, who will lead this subjugation, will also reverberate throughout the capital.."

Now that you're the conductor, the moment you act like shit, you're a bitch too, so behave yourself well..

Bisquente, who had the air of a smart person, immediately understood what I was saying and nodded and smiled. Smile?

"indeed. They say that rumors are usually unreliable, but I feel like the story about Lord Ega is believable.."

It's my rumor. I don't know what it would be like among the commoners, but it must have spread eagerly among the nobles, so it wouldn't be strange to say that they knew about it. However, if they understood what I was saying, it would be normal to frown and say it's arrogant, but instead, they reacted looking happy, which feels strange..

As long as it makes me feel good to be cursed, I don't want to get anywhere near it, as I am a natural cursor.?

"I don't know what rumors you've heard, but I'm not in a position to be called a sir.."

"Even if one rejects power and status, one's greatness and dignity cannot be hidden. Moreover, he can be said to be an example to all people as he directly condemned traitors and established the authority of the royal family and the laws of the country. I never thought I would see it in this form, but it is an honor to see Levien's guillotine.."

Wow show.

It was not only a completely unexpected and polite response, but also a truly aristocratic response..

Even though the lord of Raviel was very lucky with his subordinates, did he hit the lottery when it came to farming for his children? Bisquente didn't even mind the looks from Ciel and Karl Gulls and stood up and shook my hand. I thought it was rude not to take it again, so I awkwardly held out my hand and a polite handshake followed without any struggle..

"Thanks to Gyeong, I was able to recognize the seeds of treason that had been hiding in the city and pull them out, albeit belatedly. I would like to thank you for that alone, but since you have helped Raviel once again, I will make sure to live up to your expectations.."

I barely suppressed the feeling that my face was about to convulse due to the friendly response, and I forced a smile. Karl Gulls and Ciel, who had begun to look at us with very strange eyes, adjusted the mood appropriately and remained silent. reacted as if it had been decided.

Bisquente, who still politely offered me a seat, continued his story in a very dignified manner..

"But unfortunately, Raviel currently does not have any troops to take out. In order to avoid any misunderstanding from the royal family, the family's private army, excluding the city guard troops, was hastily reduced. Instead, they decided to open the family's coffers, but in this urgent situation, time is something that money cannot buy, so it seems difficult to get satisfactory reinforcements right away.."

It was something I fully understood and expected, so I wasn't impressed at all. Rather, it is even more surprising that a nobleman whom I have never met before reacts so flawlessly and favorably..

I didn't cut the troops under my command, nor did I turn a blind eye to them, but are you really being so friendly to me? In fact, isn't it a high-level psychological warfare??

For the first time in a long time, one thousand Eldmia began to have a heated debate over Bisquente's intentions, and Karl Gulls naturally heard the story..

"You have indicated your intention to hire additional troops from our mercenary group before you arrive, but we do not have any that can be brought in right away. I think the limit may be that we can receive support from adventurers remaining in the nearest capital and private armies from some friendly nobles.."

It's obvious that adventurers will run away excitedly if you throw money at them, but the private armies of nobles are ambiguous. In fact, those in the capital must obtain permission from the royal family when moving private troops outside..

The problem is that although this incident is an anomaly, it is not such a rare occurrence. It may be that there has been a report that the gate is suspected, or that the royal family has been considering the possibility from the beginning. Otherwise, it will take up a whole day just to approve it..

It is obvious that there will be no nobles ready to go out at any time for an agenda that is even uncertain whether approved or not, so even after permission is given, it will take a day for them to come here..

The minimum it takes is two days, and the orcs' attack will be in two days at the earliest..

"The key will be how convenient the royal family will be, but the orcs could try to attack as early as tomorrow. It would be better to think of the actual strength as the adventurers of enemy level or higher who remain in the capital. Although it may be difficult to wage a war, I think it is worth it from the perspective of subjugating monsters.."

There was no need to explain the situation in detail in front of civilians and mercenaries, so I summarized it in detail, and the two people were convinced that it was so, and Visquente also nodded and expressed his agreement..

"But... isn't it dangerous if even the adventurer doesn't arrive on time??"

"That's true, but you don't have to worry about that.."

In response to Ciel's question, Visquente spoke with a polite yet confident smile. When we showed our curiosity with just a look at his confident reaction, which made us wonder if he was moving by chartering a carriage, Visquente shrugged his shoulders and answered..

"I told you that I decided to crack the safe. Adventurers will come riding drakes. We have already received royal permission to mobilize Raviel and all drake pilots in the capital.."

And within me, my evaluation of the Lord of Raviel and Visquente began to rise vertically..

I don't know anything else, but I'm planning on doing a really good job in front of the royal family..
