Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 49
My proposal passed with the constraint that others would judge whether it was dangerous or not..
There were no more reasonable restrictions on moving as a party, so I gladly accepted it and settled down the story. In the first place, I have no intention of using force in a situation that is beyond my capabilities. You have to cherish your one and only life.
"The enemy's location and personnel have all been identified. According to our guild members' expectations, everything from collecting and executing the plan to round trip travel time will be concluded in 3 days.."
The job of receptionists and adventurer guild members is not limited to simply recording requests and delivering rewards. Identifying and adjusting the difficulty and fairness of requests was their main task and the greatest significance of the Adventurer's Guild..
And those of us who know that fact can relax just a little bit..
"Aside from the fact that you have to move quietly, it's ultimately a measurable request. I spent an hour."
"If something like an executive from the Demon King's Army suddenly pops up, there's no answer.."
"haha. No matter what, I don't pass up a request that hasn't even been measured. I would ask someone above the silver level to do that.."
Ultimately, it is work and business. Even if the guild works for the well-being of the kingdom, what motivates adventurers is money. That's probably why I chose to pick and choose people who will soon be able to improve their ranks..
"As I mentioned, since it is a request from the royal family, the compensation itself is expensive. You will be satisfied with the amount as it also has the meaning of hush money.."
"How much is it??"
Engrim spread two fingers without saying a word, and everyone, including me, was surprised. The meaning of those confident fingers cannot be anything like a mere silver coin.!
"goldfinch?"
"It's a gold coin. That too per person."
Even Gaendal and Gin, who had been very calm until now, couldn't hide their excitement and drank. Yes, Katrina began counting with her hands, and Lelyer leaned back in her chair and smiled innocently. And it wasn't any different for me..
There are no green-level or blue-level requests where gold coins are the reward. Wouldn’t it be around 10 silver coins at most? I heard that gold coins were required for larger quests that had to be self-sufficient, but in most cases, even those were not at a level that could be solved alone..
However, there were not one but two such gold coins, so the royal family was, after all, the royal family. When I thought about the amount of money and benefits the guild received, I began to understand the chocolates and this grand meal that were given to me and Cheryl yesterday..
This should be enough to avoid the stigma of stealing money from the guild later. I'm not sure if it's worth it though.
"I think that's enough of the introduction, and I'm done eating. Let's talk in earnest now.."
The conversation that followed contained so much information that it should have been accompanied by written material..
To put it simply, there are 20 people. It can be said that all of them are powerful people, are located in an abandoned dungeon after being judged to be no longer valuable, and all have extraordinary pasts, all of which are conveyed in detail and majesty..
"It's too much to have to memorize something like this on the spot.."
"haha. I also had a hard time memorizing it.."
I was the only one who sympathized with Catherine's words when she made a loud noise. The others began to memorize the information given by the en picture, feeling that they were already requesting it, and even Katrina, who grumbled only once, eventually began to focus on memorizing the parts she needed to pay attention to..
To be honest, memorizing it wasn't particularly difficult. I don't know if I'm smart or not, but in the end, it was inevitable that all the stories I heard felt like game or novel settings, and the overflow of interest was because I remembered the information on my own..
As a result of remembering and analyzing, the biggest intersection of those who are our target was the past..
Children of families that have run afoul of the kingdom in some form, whether it be treason, tax evasion, or insulting the royal family. On the outside, you can see that they are a bunch of scoundrels who are trying to sell out their country until the very end... but from my point of view, as I was not born in this world, they were just guys with their own reasons..
The difference is whether the target joining hands to take revenge on the kingdom is another country or a demon race..
No matter how much I aim for the head of the demon commander, it is to stamp out a warning to the person in charge of command or the person initiating the plan that they should never touch a bastard like me again, not because I hate the entire demon race. On the contrary, I can confidently say that I do not have any ill feelings toward demons..
Demons are just a different race. The only problem is that it's too strong. They don't specifically eat people, nor are they an evil species that only chooses to do evil things. It is classified as a demon and actually exists separately..
War between nations is everywhere. It's just a problem, but the opponent is a demon who is physically superior, so the reality is that they are treating it as if it is a crisis for humanity with all kinds of media play..
However, because there is a being called a warrior whom God protects, humans dismiss demons as evil beings and follow them without a single doubt..
And that was the biggest question for me..
It is not a world where it is difficult to feel the presence of God, as it was in our past lives. It is a place where records of numerous gods appearing, performing miracles, or acting through incarnations remain as official records and are in full swing. Performing tasks that God did not tell you to do by lying and creating a hero who does not exist is an idea that only a crazy person would do. So, it can be said that the hero exists..
However, there was no story of a warrior being chosen in a war between humans or between different races. A hero is born only during a war between demons..
Of course, compared to any other race, the system called demons and demon kings tend to be different. The structure is so unique that it is difficult to dismiss them as simple heterogeneous races..
It's a world where humans can become powerful with auras and mana, but that's only for a small number of people. The average strength of the general human race stops at a level where you are physically stronger than in your previous life..
But demons are different. It's strong, both physically and magically, as if it was born for it. Since you can't enter the demon spirit, you can't jump to conclusions, but it's safe to say that their average strength is about two levels higher than that of humans..
However, no matter how much this is said, it is nonsense to even say that we should be at odds with God and defeat him through oracles based on that alone..
Not all gods give their blessings to a single hero, and it is said that only the God of Light served by the Imperial Spiritual Assembly always protects the hero, which only deepens the question..
That trust is also a problem. It's not about wiping out all the demons, just defeating the demon lord. If the devil was defeated in this way, a series of events would inevitably be resolved, and that was the history that continued until now..
It is my opinion that if they were truly evil and aimed to exterminate humanity, the continent would have been destroyed at least four times more..
Even I have been reincarnated, so I don't believe in the existence of gods, but it was clear that their purpose was not what humanity thought..
"Even if you hold hands, you guys don't hold hands with demons."
Unlike others who went through such accidents and become serious even when they get involved with demons, the guys in my eyes were just ordinary villains who made a wrong plan and chose the wrong target to control..
"hmm? said something?"
I was a little surprised by Catherine's reaction, wondering how she had picked up my muttering even in this commotion, and I answered naturally..
"I'm just talking to myself. I don't think there will be any major problems except for the demons.."
As an ordinary villain, he was an opponent without much difficulty. It is said that there are about five Auror users and there are wizards, but since they have made an alliance with a god who is hostile to demons, their only means of recovery is natural recovery through potions and mana..
In addition, due to living in a dungeon without proper facilities for a long period of time, my life pattern is irregular and there is a penalty in controlling my condition. Above all, even the dungeon where I live has already been explored by the guild a long time ago, so there is nothing new, so there is no internal map. With just one photo, their location is no different from having it in the palm of your hand..
"I think it's closer to an accurate judgment of the situation rather than confidence. Actually, I feel that way too.."
Gin, perhaps more like a dwarf, had already asked Engrim to check whether there was a map of the dungeon while I was researching the demons, and then drank without any worries and agreed with my opinion. The others did not raise any objections, but they did not seem to let down their guard, as expected from adventurers who Engrim had taken notice of. I only see shy guys, but now that I meet people like this, it really feels like I'm seeing characters in a novel..
"20If Myeong was in the plains, the difficulty level would have increased, but in the end, if it was in a dungeon, it was a different story. Even the internal structure of the dungeon is in our hands, and the only ones that can be said to be abnormal variables are demons.."
Even Catherine gave a firm answer. She was so confident that I, who used to have some insecurities about her intellectual ability, felt embarrassed..
"I have only a little ability to understand people, but I am completely unfamiliar with making plans like this, so I am not sure, but my talented friend who said it would take 3 days said the same thing. It's reassuring to see the same story coming from you too.."
Engrim, very satisfied with our reaction, smiled and nodded..
