Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 325

Eldmia looked fine..

It's hard to believe that he single-handedly held off over a hundred Orc cavalry without even a scratch. Even his expression was so peaceful that he seemed to be sleeping, but he didn't respond when I called his name, didn't wake up when I shook him, and his whole body was boiling..

Could it be that I die like this? Ragnis was scared by the thoughts that passed through his mind without realizing it, but because even the sound of his breathing was quiet, Ragnis was able to shake off the ominous thoughts..

"I only heard about it from L.D., but it looks like he trained a lot.."

Asilier, who was looking at him with him, lightly changed the subject. Her voice was a little brighter than Ragnis remembered, but he couldn't do anything about her ears, which were so limp that they almost touched her shoulders..

Suddenly, I remembered Asillie, who had fainted when she heard the story of Eldmia jumping from the dragon in Ogwen. This battle may have been more reckless than that, but the fact that she was able to maintain her composure showed that she had hardened her heart from the moment she decided to stay by Eldmia's side..

"I'm working hard. Fortunately, Master said I had talent.."

There was too much going on for me to feel proud of such praise, but it helped me grit my teeth and continue training. Because Radnellbandes was one of the more cold-hearted wizards in the face of talent..

I felt like his words were close to the truth. Although there were limits to his physical growth, in areas related to magic, Ragnis was able to achieve achievements that were hard to believe. That is why Radnelbandes, who had moved at the request of the Princess of Messina, brought her here under the pretext of actual combat....

"It's probably okay?"

"I want to believe that because I'm not in any pain other than the fever.."

I really thought nothing bad would happen this time. Muttering softly, Asilier replaced the towel that had been placed on Eldmia's forehead with the cold towel that had been placed over her eyes..

The sight was so pitiful that I quickly got up from my seat under the pretense of meeting the commander..

"They say he took on the army alone.."

Radnelbandes, who was standing not far from the tent and silently watching the scene, spoke to Ragnis who approached. It was a story that Gees did not have time to hear in detail..

"'Heyri said it himself. Truly an example of a hero.."

'‘Stingy’ Heyri. The powerful members of the Drake Knights who have sworn to dedicate their lives to the royal family are famous for not praising others as much as their skills. If the story spread that such a generous evaluation was given to a boy who was only fifteen years old, it was certain that there would be an uproar even within the kingdom's knights..

"Have you heard anything about the plan??"

"Those who blocked the cavalry station themselves here and attack with additional troops. The commander is Heyri. They said they would only issue orders without forming a separate command team.."

Since all of these preparations were made by the Princess of Messina in the first place, it was natural that Heyri would take command, as she received full authority from her. Other nobles might have regretted that their opportunities to earn a major were diminished, but Ragnis didn't care..

I just hope they go on the attack quickly. Before Eldmia wakes up.

"It looks like he wants to run wild. No matter how ruthless my training is, it's not enough to change my personality.."

"If the attack is delayed, there is a higher chance that Eldmia will wake up and join you.."

When I told Radnellbandes honestly that I had no reason to hide it from Radnellbandes, who already knew the reason why I was undergoing rigorous training, he burst into laughter and stroked his beard..

But that was all. Instead of continuing the conversation, Radnelbandes quietly looked at Ragnis, who was asking Lenisa for advice on battle..

Until she returned to the capital, she was still like a granddaughter to me. After the death of her father, Engrin, who was her comrade-in-arms and close friend, she cooperated with the royal family's plan to keep the child, who would have only been hurt, away from the nobles' intrigues. For this purpose she prepared under agreement with the royal family even an exile or transfer to the Empire..

Engrin Lien da Lévien did not want his daughter to bear the weight of the position of Margrave..

Although he was a good subject and a good father, he was not a good nobleman, and he did not want his children to inherit the pressure that his position brought. Radnellbandes thought of his friendship and wanted to grant him a wish that he could not fulfill..

In the end, Ragnis' opinion was nothing more than nonsense. The moment he realized his narrow-mindedness was when Ragnis personally came to him and asked for training..

The child who was just a girl had become a woman and a nobleman, and was even ready to become a warrior..

The decision after realizing was quick. At first, we made him push himself to test his will, but soon he trained him seriously and harshly. She decided that she was not good enough to reach the level she wanted..

Even now, I don't think that judgment was wrong, but sometimes I was surprised by Ragnis' talent..

'It looks like he grew up to be stronger than you and I thought..'

I also matured prematurely for my age. It was heartwarming to see her clenching her teeth and running with her husband in mind..

It was a thorny path voluntarily walked for the sake of love, and it was a much more active romance than the women who dreamed of romance in the corner of their rooms through novels. Now that I think about it, Engrin also got married because his hostess actively courted him. Ragnis' personality was likely to run in her family.

If Ragnis had known, he would have scolded him for what he was thinking about a person who is in and out of life and death, but Radnellbandes had lived too long for something like this to put an emotional brake on his personal thoughts..

Looking through his eyes, which has seen countless deaths and revivals of knights, Eldmia is still a long way from death..

◈

The body is light. My mind is clear too..

As if I had woken up from a sleep I had dreamed of my whole life, feeling refreshed and refreshed, the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a burning woman..

No, should I say a woman on fire? Is she a woman made of fire? Whatever it was, it wasn't difficult at all for her to guess who it was, even though it was her first time seeing her..

"Spirit of Fire?"

[This is my first time meeting you in person..]

The fire, which was barely able to take on human form, laughed. As I looked around, I was greeted by a forest with an atmosphere far removed from winter. Flowers that could never bloom in winter were dancing with the flames, and animals made of fire were looking at me among them. In fact, I was far away from not only winter but also reality..

Only then did I realize that it was the spirit's knee pillow that was supporting my head, and I tried to slowly raise myself up, but the spirit's hand lightly grabbed my shoulder and prevented me from moving..

[You shouldn't wake up yet. Your magic needs some more time to stabilize..]

It wasn't particularly coercive, but there was no reason to refuse the advice of someone who always helped, so I laid down nicely and the spirit smiled in satisfaction. Although it was our first real meeting, it wasn't awkward or scary. Because I was one of those people who prayed, gave thanks, and received help. Rather, it feels nostalgic..

Still, I couldn't just lie down like this, so I looked around and asked a question..

"Where is this place? Is it the spirit world??"

[Hmm, if I were to borrow the words of you humans, it could be said to be an image world imitating the spirit world..]

"Oh...then why am I here??"

[Because this is the most efficient way to absorb your magic power..]

If you hear it wrong, it's eating you! It seemed like a statement that could have been said, but she was able to quickly understand what she meant by the answer. I used it a bit arbitrarily, though..

"Was it dangerous??"

[well. I don't know. It was simply an action taken because we thought that it would not be good for our long memories. Maybe it's blocking a path that could have a beneficial impact. Is it a pity??]

"It's a joke. I'm just thankful that this is a healing process.."

It hurt really bad until the last moment I remember, but I don't know what it hurts now. How could you possibly think of complaining to someone who did this to you even though you didn't ask for it? There is no such thing as a thief..

So I decided to just enjoy this situation and closed my eyes in a comfortable position. It doesn't seem like worrying can make you wake up quickly, so I thought I'd sleep better if I got sleepy..

[You are also fun. I wonder why he hasn't shown up until now and why he didn't help directly??]

Then this time, the spirit asked a question first. I think I received a lot of help... But thanks to you, one question came to mind..

"I'm curious about one thing. How is smooth conversation possible now??"

Communication with the spirits was very fragmented. It's all made up of very short words such as this, that, possible, impossible, herb, enemy, etc. Even that was very close to being transmitted through my head like telepathy, so it was very far from everyday conversation..

But not now?

[Hehe, I never thought you'd be curious about that, but the reason is simple. You gain strength through your magic power..]

"The spirit gains strength from me.?"

[To be precise, it means gaining the power for manifestation. Now that you've dealt with demons, don't you have any idea what's going on??]

"ah."

The spirits are ultimately in another space, so the conditions for them to come to our world and exercise their power are similar. The spirit nodded slightly at my reaction and looked around..

[It means that the magic power you spread this time was so great that something like this was possible. It was truly amazing.]

"Personally, I was a little disappointed because it felt like something had opened my eyes but I couldn't feel it. Even if I came to my senses in reality, I wouldn't even be able to imitate it.."

The magical power passed on to Laika was greater than expected, and it was probably more of a coincidental by-product of experiencing abnormal symptoms as a result. As I was licking my lips with regret, the spirit smiled slightly and said,.

[Don't fret, child. You can't tap into the potential you don't have, so you will surely master that power naturally in the near future..]

Is it that kind of structure...? Well, if you live a long time, that's probably the case. Thanks to you, I gained some confidence.

"That's welcome information. Rather, will I be able to move normally when I open my eyes again? There's still work left to do."

[Why do you ask that question??]

"Uh... it was really hard to even lift a finger before passing out.?"

[aha.]

The spirit's answer was a little shocking, as he nodded slightly as if he had finally understood..

[there is nothing wrong with your body.]

"...yes?"

[I wasn't hurt, and I wasn't hurt anywhere in my body. rather very healthy.]

"Oh, the spirit healed me.?"

[No, it was like that from the beginning. All the sensations you felt were just the confusion of your body caused by excessive magical power..]

So, we are absorbing the magic power that causes it..

Unlike the spirit who answered calmly and smiled, my relaxed mind started to become a little complicated..

Why am I fine??
