Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 462
[462[Tuesday] Does the summoned hero dream of his past life?.
Princess Messina gave me a very surprised look as I quickly finished the story and began to hastily gather my equipment, but there was no reason or time to explain everything..
I didn't think the demon commander would really have relevant knowledge. Are you saying that you don't even suspect and believe what kind of tricks these guys who have illusion wizards and evil spirits have done??
But that may be a possible idea since I died once and was reborn in this world..
If Siegfried, who had revealed his dissatisfaction with his situation through a brief drinking party and several conversations in the empire, is wavering because he has a different mindset than mine, then the demon warriors help the humans and the human warriors are appeased by the demons. The possibility of a party happening cannot be overlooked..
Then, because I was the one who was in trouble and bothered, my hands and feet naturally became faster..
"Oh my gosh, sword."
I was in such a hurry that I realized too late that my sword had been damaged. I leisurely cooperated with the investigation, held on with my axe, and returned to the capital to make repairs, but I had no idea that my plan would go astray like this..
"...Ha, princess? Can I ask you to send a message to the hero??"
"of course. I will do my best to ensure that it arrives by this evening. What is it??"
When I took out a sword that looked like rat-eaten cheese and showed it to her, Princess Messina, who immediately understood the situation, nodded with a determined expression. Just looking at her momentum, it felt like she was going to deliver it herself, so she was a little surprised, but it wasn't a bad reaction..
Of course, as soon as she made a request that was completely inconceivable and incomprehensible to her common sense, she made a strange expression, but that would have been the same no matter who came, so she could just ignore it..
"Is that really enough??"
"The warrior will understand. Oh, if people other than the warrior have strange reactions after hearing this, please record it all and let us know.."
"It's a strange reaction.?"
"Other than the princess-like reaction of not knowing what this is... 'How on earth can I do this?' A certain reaction would be enough.."
The Princess of Messina still looked like she had no idea what I was talking about, but decided to follow my instructions without saying anything..
While I was busy packing my bags and listening to the sound of her and the guards leaving after sending the princess out, Asilier, who had been outside until the sound of them leaving became so distant that I could not hear it at all, came in late..
"what happened?"
"Something must have happened to Siegfried. But the problem seems to be more complicated than I thought, so I'm going to take a look.."
"complication?"
"huh. I think someone from the Demon Lord's army is looking into this guy because it's related to his past life.."
As I was talking, I realized that being with someone who has already told me everything about me and doesn't need to hide anything anymore is more heartwarming than I thought..
Even without any further explanation as to why I was setting out to check on Siegfried's problem, Asilier understood right away and took his own luggage with me..
"What about weapons??"
"I'm already planning to go to the capital first because of that. I have to report the situation to Seneran and Master.."
The original plan to cooperate with the investigation team seemed to have been abandoned due to Siegfried's problem. It doesn't seem like there's anything to worry about, so I think it will end smoothly just by briefly conveying the situation while the weapon is being repaired in preparation for any unexpected situations..
"Anyway, there's really no time to relax. I guess it's the fate of a hero to be involved in incidents every single day.."
In some ways, it was a good result, but I didn't like the thought of having to do something tiring again, so I carried my baggage on my back and lamented. Asilier, who had prepared later than me but finished it quickly, opened her eyes and said..
"I think it's not a matter of fate or anything, but a matter of L.D.."
My shoulders slumped in response to the resolute will to leave no room for controversy..
This time I feel really unfair.!
◈
Siegfried suddenly woke up, took out the handle of the Nothung that he had unknowingly stored in subspace, grabbed it, and looked around..
It wasn't a reaction I took because I felt life threatening or because an instinctive warning went off. It was just a reflexive move in response to a dream that had been persistently tormenting him for the past few days..
But there was nothing wrong this time either..
The surroundings were quiet, he was still on the bed in the tent with Esselua and other women, and there was no sign of the enemy..
"...Zeke? I had a nightmare again?"
While he was habitually using magic and holy techniques to recover from mental abnormalities, Esselua woke up to Siegfried's sudden movement and asked while rubbing his eyes..
She wasn't the only one who woke up. He didn't just jump up, but he moved with the intention of pulling out his sword and swinging it at any time, so his movements were quite violent. Siegfried let out a silent sigh as he looked at Teneasi and Entyre opening their eyes one after another, and answered with a smile as if it was no big deal..
"sorry. I guess I was under more stress on the battlefield than I thought.."
He smiled as if it was no big deal and tried to fall asleep, but the three women were convinced that this was not such a simple problem..
More than two weeks have already passed since the battle with the special forces of the Demon Lord's army that infiltrated the kingdom's territory..
A lot had happened in the meantime, but the biggest topic of discussion was the heroic actions of the flute knight who suddenly appeared along with the news of victory that rang out from the Margrave of Lévien..
Until now, although there have been cases where they were instantly defeated by the demons, the human army has never had the experience of instantly pushing them back and winning. The appearance of a hero who broke through the outer walls in two days and captured even the commander known as the star-shooter and sent him to the capital was a topic more thrilling than alcohol and women to his soldiers on the battlefield..
There are warriors, and even such heroes have appeared. The war may really end.
Needless to say, as such hope spread, momentum naturally began to rise, and perhaps due to that influence, the condition of the front lines was strangely good recently..
The only one in bad shape there was Siegfried..
It was clear that he was not discouraged by the reports of victory elsewhere. As soon as Ethelrua heard from the imperial intelligence agency that the flute knight was Elde Mia, she clearly remembered the smile he gave Siegfried when she informed him. It was pure relief and joy, it was far from jealous or jealousy..
The problem was with the special forces that had been missed..
The commander of the special forces unit that persistently showed up whenever Siegfried appeared was a high-ranking illusionist with the nickname 'The Tower Builder'. At first, I thought Siegfried would react strangely just because she was beautiful, so I had some dirty feelings, but the reality was completely different..
Every time the tower builder shouts something in a language he cannot understand, Siegfried stares at her in silence and falls into trouble. Teneasi, who tried to dispel it thinking it was a weakening curse, tilted her head, and Esselua, who tried to dispel it thinking it was magic, was no different..
Siegfried listened to the tower builder as if he were understanding the unknown language he was hearing for the first time. Even though he knew that it would distract his nerves, slow down his movements, and create gaps, he could not ignore it..
Not only that, but he suddenly wakes up and tries to pull out his sword, as shown today, what kind of nightmare is he having at night?.
It was hard to believe that something like that could be done without using any magic, but it was absolutely true. Even though I wanted to ask what was going on, the days continued to be difficult due to Siegfried's hesitant reaction and not being able to open his mouth easily, until now..
Esselua let out a silent sigh as she looked at Siegfried's face as he struggled to fall back to sleep, and threw a tantrum at the two girls who were looking at Siegfried with a worried face that was no different from her own..
[Is it because Zeke has a past that we don't know about that makes him have a hard time even in his dreams?...]
Siegfried was clearly an imperial man. Although his actions and thoughts were unusual, he was clearly a native of the empire who had never even left the city he originally lived in before being selected as a warrior. No matter how much he thought about it, there was no reason for a problem to arise with the demons like this..
If they had shown something like this at the Academy, we would have been able to guess, but it has never been like this before, so it is very embarrassing..
[Is there no answer from Hwansanggong??]
In the end, Teneasi asked a question, recalling the letter Esselua sent in a hurry a few days ago, but the answer she received was negative..
[It is said that since it is a demonic magic based on magical power, there is a clear possibility that we have been under illusion magic without being able to feel it....]
Magic, which has a very subtle effect on dreams and the mind, has reached the pinnacle of human illusion magic. Even the most highly regarded illusionists were unable to achieve it..
There is no other way than to wait for the magic planted by the caster to lose its power and dissipate on its own or to kill the caster. Knowing that, the illusionist concluded that there was a high possibility that the person who built the tower was extending his magic by continuously encountering Siegfried..
[If you don't go to battle, your morale will drop, and even if you go to battle, you won't be able to kill that bitch. It's frustrating.]
Entire grumbled as if she was annoyed, but her ears were actually drooped all the way to her shoulders. she's just depressed.
"Hero. I have a message. Please stand up."
While all three women were holding back the sighs that rose up in their throats and groaning, the voice of a soldier suddenly heard from outside the tent, breaking the silence that was not their silence..
in the middle of the night?
