Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 489
[489Tue] The Stowaways Guide to the Demon's territory
The bleak atmosphere of the outlaws sitting on a small boat, spying on the people next to them out of the corner of their eyes, and being wary was something that could be said to be truly refreshing and downright shitty..
Even considering the situation of walking on the sea relying on three or four lanterns shining in the thick darkness, it is serious..
Carl Kansi said that on average, among the guys heading to the Demon Territory, there were a lot of them at the end of their lives, but they were so gloomy, as if they were overcome with remorse and would try to dive as soon as they stuck their heads out of the ship..
"I'm not usually this gloomy. There are quite a few people who go over to do business. But somehow it looks like this today."
In that sense, it was a very good achievement to open the conversation and build a friendship with Karl Kansi..
The ship's crew and captain were the superstitions that they had to say as little as possible to survive long after boarding the ship, and the other passengers did not care even though they all looked like they were about to die, and laughed and talked as if they were in charge of the ship's vitality alone. am.
"You bastard is so loud."
Of course, there were some gloomy guys who felt sorry for such liveliness, but Carl Kansi was relaxed throughout..
"The sea at night is dirty and cold. If you don't want to fall out, get crushed.."
Confidence that comes from skill.
I remain calm despite being scolded because I know very well that the other person can't do anything except use his mouth..
Contrary to what I thought was a possibility of getting into a fist fight at least once, it didn't even turn into an argument. I heard later that he was famous in the tunnels under the strange nickname ‘20-sword sword Kanshi’..
"It's a nickname given to me because my claws are as sharp as blades. Since there are many people born in Itisel, there are some exaggerated depictions of them, likening them to the King's Ten Swords.."
"It's a really sick nickname.."
"ha ha ha! What do you know? But even if you look like an asshole, it’s still fun, right? So I left it alone."
Indeed, it was so. When he put his hands and feet together and curled his hands and toes, I started laughing too..
"By the way, why are you really going to the Demon Territory? Is someone really going to kill me just to get some money and make a splash??"
After chatting about trivial topics for a while, Carl Kansi again mentioned something that had been passed off as a joke before leaving. Considering that he mentioned earlier that he rarely gets a chance to see strong guys on a consistent basis, he seemed quite curious as to why someone as strong as me was doing this..
"no. To meet a friend. They said they needed help.."
It didn't matter as long as it wasn't detailed, so when I told him the truth, Carl Kansi opened his already round eyes even wider and was amazed..
"Oh my, you must be a very important friend. They even went so far as to smuggle people into the country.."
"In many ways... he's an important friend.."
She is a saint of the Demon God Church and is also the leader of the rebel army that is currently revolting within the Demon Territory..
Karl Kansi, who had been thinking for a moment while stroking the underside of his neck at my appropriate cue, continued to ask questions while wiggling his ears here and there..
"Even if I look like this, my feet are wide in the Demon Territory? It's fate that we met like this... If you offer the right price, I might be able to help you quite a bit.?"
When I arrived at Demon Territory, I was shocked at the meticulousness of the guy who said he was unemployed and immediately tried to find a job, but other than that, I was intrigued..
"okay? What type of help is this??"
"Things like finding hidden people through personal connections or providing shortcuts. The customers are from the mainland. You won't need a trustworthy guide on your first trip.?"
The problem was that Saint Deoni was revealing her presence too openly, so the former had no meaning, but the latter was a bit different..
"There's a gate. I think it's actually more than inland.."
It's not like they're trying to rip off tourists who don't know what's cool. There's a gate, so why make an offer like that??
Carl Kansi answered the question with a mysterious smile, wondering if anyone could use the gate because the conditions for using the gate were different from ours..
"Wow, that looks like a lot of money. It was just like that... but now it's a little different. Inside the Demon Territory, it is chaos itself.."
"chaos?"
Karl Kansi nodded slightly, took a quick look around, and said, 'Don't show too much surprise.' He whispered in my ear in the quietest voice possible..
"The Demon God Church declared a holy war against the Demon King's army.."
Since I had somewhat expected that things I already knew would come out, I thought it would be more difficult to act surprised, but fortunately, Carl Kansi's whisper was much quieter than I expected, so I was able to be surprised..
"That... is amazing.."
It wasn't like the sound of an ant's footsteps, and I never imagined that I could speak so softly. Fortunately, Carl Kansi nodded slightly, thinking that my reaction was based on his own information..
"This means that the historical moment in which the demon spirits that have been united for a long time are splitting apart is now. Because of that, of course, you can go to some gates and some places you can't, and there's a lot of talk about whether you're a member of the Demon Lord's army or a fanatic of the Demon Religion. Maybe the customer's friend got caught up in something like that and asked for help. I didn't hear anything?"
I wondered if he was trying to get something out of the way, but since he was talking about it as if it were his business, I decided to put my doubts aside for a moment. Still, I didn't trust her enough to tell her the whole story, so this time I only said what I could say in moderation..
"I'm not sure. I heard it's in a city called Renshi...."
However, the exact city name was not mentioned. I thought it would be suspicious to memorize that complicated name accurately, so I used my brain, but Kal Kansi took the bait very well..
"In Rencie? Wasn't the name Lengi Epagasiera??"
"Oh, that's right. That must have been the name. It was so damn complicated. Is this a place you know??"
"I know. Now, that is where the great incident began.."
Carl Kansi, who thought for a moment with a serious expression while bursting into laughter, spoke seriously with a face and voice that had removed all laughter..
"Customer, this may seem like an act of solicitation... but don't be too surprised this time. Maybe my friend got involved a little bit.."
"Why again? What was the origin of the great incident??"
"That is the headquarters of the Demonic Religion. I think a customer's friend is stranded there and needs help. Maybe he's related to the Demon God Religion.."
Fortunately, I was able to be moderately surprised this time thanks to Karl Kansi's appropriate reasoning..
"Even if I have an acquaintance at the headquarters of the Demon God Cult... what do you mean it's related to the Demon God Cult??"
"As I said, the Demon God Cult and the Demon Lord's Army are attacking it on a large scale, and the Cult is strangely losing ground. In fact, that's why supporters of the Demon King's Army are raising their voices even more. 'If the Demon God really protected you and declared a holy war, does it make sense for you to lose?' In this way."
At that moment, the Confucianism in me... No, I nodded, barely holding back the thought that Epa was about to stand up and lash out..
Now that I think about it, there was a part in the report that strangely said the divine power was not showing its full power. If that is true, then we cannot ignore the possibility that something similar to the pseudo-sanctuary used by illusion wizards has been weaponized and spread throughout the demon realm..
"It seems that faith within the Demon Territory has fallen to the bottom.."
"That's right. I wonder why the world is like this. I understand the position of the Demon God Church. If there's a guy who says that shit to my face, I'll rip his chin out.."
"You guys, if you insist, you'll be disparaging your family, so it's bound to happen.."
Even though they are a race of beastmen that have the shapes of animals so diverse that one wonders if they are the same race, the reason they are able to unite as one is because of the vertical repetition of hunting and wind, which are their ancestral gods..
In fact, he is often seen as the god of hunting and beasts, and is often worshiped by human hunters. My father would also pray separately after hunting, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a fairly universally believed god..
However, unlike those humans, the beast people believe that the descendants of the god live in fifty different forms, and that their dead ancestors become guardian spirits by the side of Cerro Lipiti..
So in the end, cursing God in front of them is no different from cursing our dead ancestors to their faces..
When I casually mentioned that, Karl Kansi laughed brightly and naturally patted me on the back to express his interest..
"This was a very knowledgeable guest. I like it more and more."
"I did some studying to live as unbiased as possible. Anyway, I understand what you said.."
He didn't call me in the first place, he was visiting me personally, but his attitude of predicting that and giving me advice based on what he had roughly heard was really likable..
Above all, it was a great achievement to learn that the gate was moving differently than expected thanks to Carl Kansi's ingenuity. Among the advice written in the note was how to use the gates of a specific city to shorten the time..
"I want to get to that city as quickly as possible. Is it possible to predict how long it will take??"
"If you can get on the gate, it will be a breeze. But considering that they get stuck in the middle of fighting among themselves... it's a bit difficult for people with mediocre skills.."
"You're saying it's possible."
When I expressed what I guessed from Karl Kansi's attitude, he answered with a relaxed smile..
"Full moon. If you can reduce it further than that, you pay extra. I'm confident?"
His confident attitude was so pleasant that when he slightly provoked him, Karl Kansi hit his knee, smiled, and held out his hand..
"When we arrive at Demon Territory, let's start by writing a contract.."
