Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 465
[465[Tuesday] Does the summoned hero dream of his past life?.
Time passed quickly just by finishing my business at the workshop and briefly seeing my acquaintances..
Among them, what I spent the most time on was the process of calming down Cheryl, who turned into a mad dog and ran at me like a mad dog. She already knew not only the series of events that took place in Levien, but also the story in Oh Gwen. Still, she did not make as much of a fuss as she did when she faced the Great Demon, perhaps because she thought it was meaningful that she came out safely. did.
But why compare it to a crazy dog? She wasn't as worried as Ragnis or Asilier, but that was because she was very persistent in asking to spar..
I don't know if it was a situation where I could kill time and set off leisurely, but since I didn't know when and where Siegfried would fly or what additional tricks the demon illusion wizard would do, I tried to make a promise for the next time. The biggest event in my itinerary in the capital was that I was asked so persistently that I couldn't refuse..
At first, I was planning to just give him a moderate amount of correction... but after we actually sparred, I could understand why he was so stubborn. In that short amount of time, the child's skills have improved tremendously. It was worth devoting time to sparring to meet a few people..
The reason why I was able to easily subdue the swordsman even though I was tongue-tied at the precision of his swordsmanship, which was so sharp that I thought it was a bit of foul play, was because I, too, had achieved unusual growth due to a series of recent incidents..
As a result, Cheryl grumbled again, but the conclusion was so clear that no refutation was possible, so she was able to safely escape from the guy's clutches..
In the meantime, preparations to leave for the front line were completed, so Asili and I set out on our trip, receiving a send-off from Tie..
"But... is it okay for you to keep staying here??"
"Don't you need it??"
"No way. It's because I'm curious because I don't know the standard of compensation that your church says.."
There was no reason to refuse a free, talented maid, but even if it were me, I wasn't the type of person to look on indifferently as someone wasted her life just to repay the kindness of saving her life without even thinking about it..
I don't know if it's based on a fair transaction and contract, but it seems a bit like a hard sell.?
"The denomination's transactions are carried out with certainty. I'll tell you in advance when it's time to go, so don't worry.."
I don't know if he understood my intention, but he just smiled strangely and responded indifferently. After saying that much, I had nothing more to say, so I headed to Flying Dragon Station while being seen off by Tie, who I am now very familiar with..
"Nice to meet you, Sir Egar. My name is Bella and I am Kingdom Gate Level 1 Controller. In the name of the royal family, I have come to see Lord Egar to help him head to the front.."
When we arrived there, what greeted us was a wizard we had never seen before..
The voice seemed to be a woman's, but it said, 'I am a wizard.' There is no way to see her face because there is a dark veil wrapped around the brim of her hat that makes you wonder if she can even see..
The robe he was wearing was probably meant to hide the curves of his body, but it looked really suspicious as it was loose and round, but there was no room for suspicion because the manager of the flying dragon station was next to him..
"Was there a gate leading to the power lines??"
"Some, but not all, of them extend to key outposts near Lord Egar's destination. And for security reasons, there are guidelines prohibiting the use of some gates in certain directions. You can think of it as the key to breaking through it.."
In other words, it was a problem that could have been resolved with a royal official letter, but in that case, it would have been time-consuming and inconvenient to check each and every time I crossed the gate, so they gave me the master key. It's a bit odd that the key has a very unconventional appearance, but it's not bad..
In any case, Master Key Bella, who seemed to be confident in his performance, simply bowed politely and took the lead to guide us. I didn't even order it, but I calculated food for my car and prepared it in advance for the distance I would travel after using the gate, so all I had to do was follow..
And we found out that calling ourselves the Key was no pretense..
Just approaching the gate created a path for us to move through, and when she approached the gate herself and cast a spell, the gate became activated. The guards guarding the gate did not pay any attention to Bella's movements, so she moved quickly, feeling as if she had become invisible..
After going through the gate six times, we found ourselves in the middle of an outpost that looked like no ordinary person would ever be able to come to it..
"This is all I can help you with. If you take this letter to the command center, you will receive detailed information about the location of the imperial hero.."
"...thank you Thanks to you, I was able to save a lot of time.."
"...I just did my duty. It was an honor to serve the hero of the kingdom.."
Our Master Key, who left behind a scroll and a response that seemed to be filled with joy for the first time in response to the thank you given in a dazed state, gave a final polite greeting and disappeared through the gate..
Since I couldn't just stand there and admire it, the attention of those around me slowly started to focus, so I headed in the direction she pointed to when she mentioned the command center..
Is it because we shortened the distance in an instant and arrived there??
Unlike the peaceful atmosphere of the capital city that I had just felt, the air and atmosphere of the outpost, which seemed to be full of rain, felt very unfamiliar..
◈
"Hero. Have you heard that rumor??"
Siegfried, who returned to the command post after a battle that was unfailingly tiring due to the illusion wizard and was chewing beef jerky, looked with helpless eyes at the knight who suddenly approached him and spoke to him..
He was one of the kingdom's knights who was recently assigned to his unit and showed off his impressive sword skills. Although we fought together for quite some time and didn't even know each other's names, we got to know each other and talked at length a few times..
As soon as I thought about it, I felt like I was acting bleakly in accordance with this bleak battlefield without even realizing it, and I burst out laughing..
"I don't know what the rumor is, but I know that I don't even know your name. We've talked quite often and I don't know how this can happen.."
"ha ha ha. The hero is also the same person, right? This is a common sight among those experiencing large-scale battlefields for the first time. Because we are so anxious to survive, we lose our leisure time, and because we lose our leisure time, we become indifferent to those around us. Just call me Darren.."
Rather than being offended by the fact that he didn't even know my name, he actually smiled cheerfully, which was truly a good thing. ‘Yes, Darren. I'll remember this time.' When Siegfried laughed with the answer, he also nodded loudly and returned to the story he had first told..
"anyway. It seems that the flute knight who played a major role in the Battle of Lévien is finally coming here.."
Despite what he said, Darren seemed very excited. So much so that you wouldn't mind having a child next to you who has heard that Santa Claus will bring presents tonight..
Definitely a flute player... Eldmia's reputation in Levien was worthy of raising expectations. There was a story that the attack unit called the Silver Eagle Brigade was able to attack the outer castle of Lévienne in two days. If that is true, then it means that the castle was destroyed in less than half a day..
Although they are now exhausted by reality and the battlefield and only survive out of a sense of duty, they once spent their childhood filled with excitement and infatuation with personal strength and knightly feats. In a way, it was a natural reaction to be excited about the story of a legendary hero arriving..
"Didn't that rumor spread a few days ago? Now, once again?"
"They say it will arrive in two days. The story has already spread that someone was seen moving around at the outpost with his dragon, an elf who appears to be his lover, and, somewhat unexpectedly, a dog.."
It was a description that others might have frowned and questioned, wondering what kind of unexpected combination it was, but of course Siegfried didn't do that..
"It looks like you're really coming."
"Of course, what does this mean... huh? Do you believe it? Other guys said what a strange combination it was and that I had taken hallucinogenic mushrooms.."
Siegfried laughed at Darren's dumbfounded reaction as he tried to continue the story, believing that a rebuttal would naturally come out..
"One Welsh Corgi is definitely a scene stealer.."
"Well...? Scene...? ah! Do you mean that dog? Oh my god, did you even know the flute driver??"
"then. We are like older brother and younger brother.."
"Wow crazy world!"
It seemed that this meeting would bring about a huge change in the hierarchy that had continued until now... but it was not a lie, so Siegfried answered calmly but looked at Darren's reaction as if it was amusing..
"Are you more surprised by the fact that you get to know the flute knight while fighting next to the hero??"
"...what? I see it after hearing it.?"
"This, this, he was on the battlefield, so he couldn't see his surroundings, so he understood my situation at once.?"
"Hey, this is a little different. The hero is from the empire, right? Although he may not be a warrior, he feels proud of his heroic feats as a member of the same kingdom.."
Actually, I can't stand soup. Thinking of that, Siegfried chuckled once more and stood up, chewing the remaining beef jerky with a clearer head..
"Be more grateful to me. Because you're coming because of me."
"yes? Are you serious??"
"Why would a warrior have any regrets about lying?."
Darren did not stop Siegfried from leaving. Instead, they just move around excitedly to share new and updated information..
Siegfried relaxed his shoulders as he watched the knight step forward to maintain the morale of his allies on a battlefield lacking entertainment..
"let's go."
Then, one of the imperial knights who had been watching the two from a distance approached and spoke cautiously..
"Wouldn't it be better to rest a little more? You haven't slept properly for two days.."
"You have to crack that damn shoulder to be able to sleep. She's had enough rest, let's go.."
The imperial knights, who looked at each other's faces and the back of Siegfried as he walked away while speaking as if it was no big deal, eventually let out a short sigh, lowered their visors, and followed behind him..
There was no sign of Entire in it..
