Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 445
[445Flower] Flowering
After talking with Jin, I gathered my supplies and hurried back..
Since I was planning to rob Madam Alicia's food warehouse for a while anyway, it wasn't really a problem, and when I arrived at the camp, I hurriedly called Seneran aside. She looked shocked when I returned much earlier than expected, and after I told her the story I heard from Jin, she reacted as if she knew what was coming..
"It must be a demon.?"
"I guess that's the case. Maybe those half-penny guys were behind it.."
"...Did they even notice that I had engraved it??"
"If you decide to kill them or not and try to pull them out, it's not like there's no way... but that's not them. It would be correct to say that they just caught the tail because there was some kind of method.."
"Is there a reason??"
I was surprised by Seneran's reaction, which seemed like there was no need to worry at all, so I asked her again, and she gave me a strange look as if she was really asking me seriously..
"You said I broke the rules back then, right? If I wanted to live, I would never have gone back to the tunnel. The Demon King's army would not have been able to comfortably pursue those who did not return to the tunnel in the land of Itisel.."
"Huh, is that what discipline is like? I was thinking about sticking to it.."
"Either you're stupid, or you've been offered a commission fee so large that it makes you stupid, aren't you? Anyway, there's no point in worrying about them now. The only difference is whether they come here late or early.."
"What are you going to do??"
"Why are you asking me that? You have to decide."
Senelan calmly expressed his thoughts while wiping his glasses that had become dirty without knowing it..
"The reason they move to such extremes is probably because of the existence of this temple and religious order. I don't know if he's just following orders or if he's the mastermind, but it's definitely not a situation where he just talks... If I guess the reason for ultimately taking the relic, it's a situation where there's a possibility that he'll risk his life as soon as he sees you.?"
The fact that the Demon God's hero is a human race is never a good story for the Demon King's army..
Seneran, who put his glasses back on, turned his gaze towards me more clearly than ever before and spoke..
"So you, the center of the case, decide. Being influenced by others is not a good fit.?"
It was indeed a reasonable guess, and from my point of view, it was an understandable conclusion. I didn't know that Seneran, who had spent a lot of money, would be the first to tell that story..
Anyway, they said they would give me the power to decide, so I decided to accept it gratefully..
"Well... then let's put it all together and talk about it.."
"story?"
"When it comes to figuring out how to stop them and find out, it's more efficient when several people work together, right?."
Even though we may seem like a fighting people who are impatient to fight, since we are connected to our village, the main premise is to strike them down first..
◈
After briefly explaining the situation to Asilier, we returned to the ruins together, and the people who had already heard some of the story from Seneran greeted us with stern faces..
No one raised the possibility that it was a rumor that had nothing to do with us. In fact, the church and the saint looked back at their actions and actively considered the possibility that they may have left traces, and through a smooth exchange of opinions, which can be said to be part of the hope section of the group assignment, we became convinced that the pursuer was clearly the devil's army..
The real problem was what happened next..
"I think it would be better for Widra and Seneran to hurry their return.."
Both of them drooled at a suggestion made by Saint Deoni, but were unable to refute it..
Everyone knew that it was not a very good decision to exclude two people who could be said to be of great strength in a situation where the enemy's strength could not be properly assessed, but due to their position, direct combat was not possible..
It is a foregone conclusion that a fierce battle will take place, as this is not a situation that can be ended by lightly clashing. They may not have even thought about the hero, but they won't move with half-hearted effort to deal with a wizard who is making a name for himself in the kingdom by following in the footsteps of saints and heresy judges..
If two such forces collide, no matter how secretly they fight in the forest, rumors will inevitably spread and traces will remain..
The traces caused by magic, magic, and holy laws will not be erased until the kingdom that heard the news belatedly begins an investigation, and once it is known that the two people were together in the battle, the royal family will also begin intensive questioning..
"If you are unlucky, even your involvement in smuggling will be revealed. It would be better if you withdrew early and the demons caught up with you later.."
I nodded and helped the saintess, but in fact, it was probably an unnecessary action. Master nodded calmly as always, and Seneran admitted with difficulty, using all of his arrogance, and then got up first to prepare a magic tool for my safety..
"By the way... Are you and other members of the church okay??"
No matter how much I am a warrior, there is no way that it will be easy for me to fight against my own people for the sake of the human race. When asked the question she had in mind, the saintess instantly threw away the calm demeanor she had shown just a moment ago and answered in a voice tinged with anger..
"Could it be okay??"
At best, I thought there would be a reaction of regret for having to fight a meaningless battle with their own people, but the saintess's reaction was completely different..
"Epa not only dared to go against God's will and committed such atrocities, but instead of repenting, he continued to increase his sins. How can he be okay as a servant of God?!"
"Ah... yes... I see.."
I quickly forgot about it because I was concentrating on the holy law class, but when I looked back on my memory, I realized that Saint Deoni was the one who couldn't control her anger and hit the wall with her horn as soon as she heard the story about the separation from the holy relics that Epa had heard from her..
Seeing that other Heresy Judges who heard the story took similar actions, I thought that perhaps this was a fairly common way of expressing anger among demons. Thanks to the reaction of Priest Mender, who looked at them with cold eyes, I was able to realize that their reactions were not typical at all..
After a while, it became quiet as if nothing had happened, so I thought it was okay, but it seems that wasn't the case at all..
"Even if the devil himself ordered it, it is an act of violence that can never be forgiven. Even if they come right away, kneel down and confess, it wouldn't be enough, so you use violence to chase them down? This is a clear display of hostility, an attempt to murder a priest, and blasphemy itself.!"
correction.
It's not just that it's not like that, it's that it's so angry that it's ready to attack anywhere..
Even the Heresy Judges who were quietly listening behind her were gnashing their teeth together instead of trying to stop her, so I quickly spoke up to calm them down..
"Well, wouldn't it be possible for soldiers to just follow orders and not know what they are doing? Maybe there are people coming here who don't even know that there is a temple here.."
If that was really the case, I would be very, very disappointed, but there was still a long way to go before we could fight, so it was better to say something than to lose energy and lose energy. Fortunately, the saint and the heresy judges withheld their anger, saying that it was quite possible, and when the story began to settle down to some extent, they began discussing how to deal with the bastards..
But there was nothing special about the tactical strategy right away. Since the enemies had a clear target, the ruins, they decided to target the rear and create a surprise attack situation. As a result, people started to get up to do their jobs again, and I couldn't understand why the story wasn't coming out. I had to open my mouth again to clarify the topic..
"Lastly, we want to capture as many enemies as possible, but do you have any other opinions??"
Unlike Master, who was not interested because he had to leave anyway, and Asilier, who responded positively, the expressions on the faces of the church members were truly diverse..
The reaction was as if they had heard that cancer cells are also life. As half the reaction as if seeing a saint forgiving an enemy who tried to kill her poured out towards me, the saint asked a question without any time to wonder what on earth she was thinking to get such a reaction..
"Hero. Just because we are demons, you don't have to worry about that. As I just said, they may be the ones who have taken actions that can easily be called heretics...."
crazy god.
Judging by the reactions of the church members who kept shaking their heads as they listened to the saint's words, it seemed like they took it as if I was showing them some kind of great mercy..
"I think there is a misunderstanding. This is just a matter of practicality. Since you can't find out who's behind the corpse, of course you have to keep it alive.."
There was no benefit in letting that fantasy grow, so I said it clearly, but for some reason, what came back was, 'Indeed. The warrior has his own thoughts.' It was a strange mixture of satisfaction and admiration. Even the saint.
Wow, this is really hard to get used to..
