Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 336

I couldn't shake the feeling that I had screwed up the first button because of one uncivilized helmet racker, but I had no regrets because I had no mercy to show to the thief..

A whole day passed before they captured a demonic beast that had failed to escape two days ago and forcefully rode it. I was so sensitive from chopping off the heads of orcs that they came and did it all of a sudden. What? legal ownership?

Although there were more than a hundred orcs sent on the express train to their Valhalla, the Prairie of the Sky, for almost a week, it was already known from the time when I fought Kakula that the ax that was not missing was an unusual item. So, as the knight said, I fully understood that it was a hero's weapon and all..

Yes, it may be a very important symbol, and even if it is not, since it is a weapon of this quality, you may want to return it at least for its performance..

But no matter what, I was faced with a person who wanted to rip off the top of his head just because the poop that they hadn't cleaned up had flowed into my hometown through the gate, and I mistakenly thought that this was an opportunity to use the weapon that I had neglected until now because I was afraid of getting knocked out. Trying to eat it right away is crossing the line..

If you really want to get this ax back, you have to send a letter directly to the Itisel royal palace, resolve all issues of responsibility and compensation for the Oak Gate incident, and then stand on your head and make a joke and offer a huge amount of money..

But since this crazy guy was talking about the law and tried to pull out his sword, is there a way? I have to split it up.

Fortunately, unlike the helmet rack, the gatekeepers were very communicative. Since I was a civilized person different from the uncivilized helmet hanger, instead of showing off my uneducated behavior by taking out my anger on the enemy, I stood with the strangely calm gatekeeper, offered him a small fee for information, and asked him about Kelvast's mood and current situation. I tried to communicate as a way to kill time..

Had about twenty years passed like that? At first glance, someone who looked like a very high-ranking person appeared accompanied by three guards..

"Oh my fucking god. I haven't heard anything about this situation.."

Looking at his outfit and the reactions of those around him, it's clear that he's a high-ranking person, but his tone of voice is more cordial than I expected..

Contrary to what came out of his mouth, he didn't seem that embarrassed. Of course, no matter how panicked he was, the people who followed him as guards saw that he was a knight and blocked his path, drawing their weapons, but that was a completely normal reaction, so I turned the ax upside down and looked at them in a leaning position and asked..

"do you know the law?"

◈

Margrave Kelvast thought as he watched the man confidently come out even though he was clearly watching him reach the gate..

I don't know where this came from, but it's something unusual. Cutting a knight to pieces of his armor and being so proud could be said to be something extraordinary, but it seemed like that wasn't the whole point of the other person's true value..

While he was using his brain as much as possible to understand the other person for the first time in a long time, the knights who followed him as escorts came forward and stood between themselves and the man and shouted..

"impolite! I dare you to know who this person is!"

Even though they were his own escort knights, they truly showed incredible courage. How can you do that even if you see a dead body right in front of you?.

Margrave Kelvast lived a life far removed from direct combat, but he was not so ignorant that he did not know what a corpse with not only its body but also the arm that was trying to hold a sword cut off meant. And it is clear that he died from a single blow without even being able to resist properly. He was one of the most skilled knights in Kelvast..

Even compared to the three knights he was accompanying, his skills were not that far behind. I couldn't keep him around because he had a tendency to force his ideas on others, but I remembered him because he was a capable soldier..

Therefore, Margrave Kelvast was deeply impressed by the knights' willingness to do their duty even after witnessing his death..

"Of course I don't know who it is. If I knew that, would I be from here or Itisel??"

The man's attitude as he frowned and muttered as if chewing his teeth in response to the article was truly dignified..

Even though there was no other movement, the two knights blocking the Margrave's path flinched slightly and took a very slight step back..

'I was scared. It's worth it.'

It was proof that he understood their skills very well, so instead of belittling them or feeling sorry for them, the Margrave chose to step up and save face..

"stop. According to the gatekeeper's report, his ignorance is not a sin. to step back."

"Hahahaha..."

"Okay. If their goal was to cause trouble, they would have tried to kill me right away or tried a thousand other methods. Isn’t that right, a stranger??"

The man answered Margrave Kelvast's question by simply tilting his head to the side. It was a move that seemed extremely arrogant, but Margrave Kelvast came forward to dissuade him, so the knights said nothing more..

"But aside from that, as the lord of the fortress city, I need to properly understand this situation. Is it true that you killed that knight??"

"yes. you're right."

When the Margrave of Kelvast quietly looked at the man and continued to answer naturally without being embarrassed even after hearing that he was a lord, he added:.

"He was a common knight named Vilen, and he was one of the important figures who took the lead in protecting the Kelvast Wall and ensuring the safety of the people.."

Are you confident that you have killed the city's main troops??

He wasn't that important of a person, but he exaggerated the words a little to test whether he understood the meaning behind his words, and the answer he received was different from what Margrave Kelvast had thought..

"That cannot be a shield that justifies looting that comes from ignorance.."

Margrave Kelvast groaned quietly at the attitude of the man who finished his explanation by simply tapping the ax he was leaning on. An adventurer who is gruff but carries on a conversation with a slight hint of aristocratic speaking style. Although I was curious about his identity, his answer was more serious right now..

Margrave Kelvast also had eyes and knew that the ax holding the man's body was the double-edged ax that he knew belonged to Sir Dubert. Therefore, he was able to know from the answer he had just heard that the knight Villen died due to conflicting opinions while claiming ownership..

Judging by the extreme expression of looting, it appears that they were demanding the return of something belonging to Lord Dubert....

If that's true, it's not that he died unfairly, but it was more like he made the worst choice and made the people behind him suffer and then died. Margrave Kelvast, who had suddenly found himself in an awkward position, had no choice but to make a sound of regret..

"With your skills, I think you might be able to get a ransom.."

"If this place had been Ethisel, I might have done it, but I couldn't afford it because one of them, who had neglected his duty to guard the grassland and posed a threat to my hometown, was rude.."

Oh my god, I never thought the day would come when we would be accused of the ridiculous story that orcs from the plains flew all the way to Itisel and caused damage. Also for adventurers. Even my late father jumped up and said what nonsense was this..

However, there is no way to know now how much is true and how much is false. Therefore, Margrave Kel Vast turned his brain to understand the situation only with the information given to him..

It was definitely a big blow for a knight to suddenly die. However, the story was a little different because the subject was someone who came across the plains carrying Kakula's axe..

The fact that Kakula's ax is here means that Kakula is either dead or has suffered such a fatal blow that he cannot protect the axe..

It was true that it was hard to believe even when you saw it with your own eyes, but it was a more believable story than the possibility that the man who killed a knight with one blow was a century-old thief who could silently steal the chief's weapon from an orc village..

And since that man couldn't have had a fair one-on-one duel with Kakula, it goes without saying that in the process, collateral damage was caused not only to Kakula but also to his army, and this was a feat that a single knight could never achieve..

Even if the author killed Billen unjustly, it was an achievement so great that it would be beneficial to enshrine it in this place..

However, given the circumstances, it was not even an unjust death, so there was no reason for Margrave Kelvast to show loyalty to him here. It is enough to give a generous amount of consolation money to the family later..

Margrave Kelvast, who had gathered his thoughts up to that point, could vaguely guess the man's identity..

'prairie devil.'

I thought it was a ridiculous rumor, but after thinking about it, I started to believe the man's claims..

An unidentified ghost story appears in the grassland that has been consistent for a long time, and as soon as the orcs begin to behave strangely, an adventurer appears, carrying the ax that was taken from Kakula, and claiming that he was caught in a gate from Itisel, in the far southeastern corner of the country. Now that I know, it's harder to keep doubting.

At the same time, it was also the beginning of the worst major incident in history. You'll have to listen to the details to find out, but considering the man's reaction just now, it goes without saying that a large number of orcs have flowed into Itisel. If we make a mistake, we will be witch-hunted for intentionally conspiring with the western kingdoms to harm Itisel, so we had to quickly find out the truth and take action..

After completing the calculation, his actions were quick..

"As the lord of Kelvast, I would like to apologize respectfully. I don't know if he heard it, but that ax has a deep connection to our city. It seems that something unpleasant happened because it is treated as a holy object among some knights.."

"He paid for his rudeness with his life, so don't mind. Rather, I want to know if I can enter the city.."

Even though the lord of Kelvast, a city in the West who could not treat even kings carelessly, apologized in person, the man's reaction was sour. Even if you are from far away Itisel, you would know what kind of place Kelvast is... Now, I was almost curious about what kind of life one must live to be so confident..

“of course. Rather, I would like to invite you to the castle as a guest. We would like to offer our deepest condolences for the misfortune you have suffered and at the same time apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you. Above all, I would like to receive advice and help from the parties involved so that we can find an amicable solution to the gate situation you mentioned..”

But due to the problems faced, Margrave Kelvast's curiosity had to be postponed until later..
