Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 511

[511Tue] Miser, miser

Just because a castle was built by demons does not mean that there is a huge difference in defensive performance compared to a castle built by humans..

No matter where it comes from, isn't a stone a stone and a tree a tree? Unless those dwarves made it with magic and modified it, it was that guy. The only thing that is stronger is the one made by someone with better materials and better construction skills. However, since this is a fantasy world, one more factor is added to determine the durability of the castle..

Countermeasures against magic attacks. Just as the church repaired the walls and gates of Rengier by pounding castle laws every day, wizards in other castles diligently drew magic circles to prepare for magical attacks. As a result, siege warfare naturally proceeds in a way that is not much different from the Middle Ages in the previous life..

Either stick and break through, or someone stronger sticks and breaks through. Faced for the first time with what kind of repercussions the magic locked in the castle gate would have if such a major premise were to be broken, I could not help but stop in my tracks and wonder a little..

"It was so cool.."

In one blow, everything from the iron door on the inside to the wooden door on the outside was completely shattered. Yes, if Katrina had seen it, she would have felt threatened by her position as a battering ram and it would have ignited her competitive spirit..

"At this level, it can be considered a completed transaction.?"

"Sure. Best of luck in the future, Emmett. Salary will be paid according to the procedure one month later.."

Emmett lightly landed next to me and offered to shake my hand with a very satisfied smile, and I also held his hand with a satisfied smile..

The only ones who seemed dissatisfied were the soldiers and some civilians watching us shake hands below..

"Um, Emmett? What the hell are you doing now?...?"

The man who had been directing his soldiers with spit flying in all directions just a moment ago opened his mouth with an expression like a beaver looking at a zookeeper destroying his house, but Emmett only answered informally and politely without any hesitation..

"That's it. There was a problem because the count cut his salary.."

"Well, salary? cut? You mean the Count??"

It's not 'Count'. Noticing the small difference, I slowly tilted my head towards Emmett and added a word..

"If you play the role of a wind catcher, I will increase your salary by 2 trade gold coins.."

"...haha."

It wasn't a laugh that came out of absurdity. It was a very, very satisfied smile. As proof, Emmett nodded his head slightly to make his intentions clear and continued his speech, drawing attention to himself..

"Even though I have not been in contact with you very often, I think everyone knows that I have tried my best to benefit Birrae according to the contract that has been in place since the previous era. You used to distribute food at your own expense every winter, right? Occasionally added to maintenance."

"Well, I know that..."

Surprisingly, I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ There is no same reaction. I guess this is what it means to be good at spending money. Despite being an advisor next to someone in power, their first glance upon seeing Emmet's defection was closer to 'Why on earth, you?'.

The feeling of being betrayed by someone they thought cared about them. Thanks to this, I felt like I had a little idea of ​​what kind of person Emmett was..

"Even though the birares of the time were irredeemable trash, because of my connection with that bastard, I had a strong desire to persevere, believing that they would someday become human beings. It must have been a very difficult time for you, but since I was only a hired wizard, I couldn't help you more actively.."

It was a strange sight. Everyone in the area where his voice reaches is looking at him..

There's a lot of chaos over there, like there's an emergency or something. I wondered if this was magic, but looking at it, it seems to be just the charisma shown by Emmett, who has managed his image thoroughly..

"However, it was difficult to bear seeing him being so extravagant and joining the side of the devil's army, even going against the will of God to satisfy his own self-interest. In the meantime, he even took a pay cut. For them, money may be for their own self-interest, but for us, isn't money the reward for our own valuable labor and pride? I tried to resist the attack just a moment ago in order to do my job at least for the meager salary... but it was no use.."

Even though the gold coins he touched could never be tied to them as 'us', Emmett really shamelessly mentioned 'us'. Before this man was a wizard, wasn't he already a politician?.

Kal Kansi as well... Demon spirit, you have a lot of talent..

"I wouldn't know if the miracle of the demon god didn't shine on us, but after encountering the hero like this, it was hard to believe in the demon lord who denies God and keeps people who only care about his own interests.."

"Yo, warrior?"

Attention is now focused on me, following Emmett's hand politely pointing at me. While I was sweating, wondering if my reaction should be dramatic, against my will, a bright glow began to seep out of the beauty salon. The wicked esthetician said, ‘In times like this, this is the best way to get results!’ While they are talking about such things, they are shocked as if they have seen something sublime, and I feel embarrassed..

But whether I did or not, Emmett didn't miss the opportunity that was created..

"I think everyone knows the rumors from the front. The story is that divine punishment fell on the Demon King's army, and not only did the hero possessed by Light Ete, who had always opposed the Demon King, appear, but even the Demon God's hero joined with the humans to defeat the Demon King's army. It was true. He didn't just join the human race, but came alone to the depths of this demon territory to help the demon religion and believers who were being persecuted by the demon king's army.."

"Even though I'm not a demon??"

"As you can see."

In fact, the response and response are so good that I wonder if they planted another wind catcher. In the distance, trumpet sounds and noise announcing an emergency were still spreading, but it seemed that they had no longer heard them..

"It was decided by the demon god. In fact, people of all races arrived here to save the faithful, so is there any room for doubt??"

Not to mention the civilians, now even the soldiers are confused as they look at each other. Emmett gave me a signal from next to me, but I naturally knew that I had to drive the wedge now without having to do so..

I was clear about what I had to do, but I was still very embarrassed to speak with my bare face, so I took out my helmet..

"The devil does not abandon his children. However, since I have become a warrior according to His will, I will show no mercy to those who turn their backs on Him.."

When I put a little pressure on the handle, the beauty treatment that I recognized like a ghost glowed a little brighter. Just as I was about to burst into laughter at the heartbreaking reality that I was now participating in this gigantic fraud that was not a fraud, the person commanding the soldiers opened his mouth..

"Well, we have never turned our backs on the Demon God.!"

"prove it."

"yes?"

"Prove it. In the past, the faith you held was proof, but due to the devil's army's insidious tricks, an era has arrived where this is no longer possible.."

As I lightly jumped down from the roof of the building, people started rushing out of the way to make room for me..

"Now is the time to prove it with action."

After a brief thought, the commander nodded, put the sword he was holding into its scabbard, and knelt down. The action quickly spread to the surrounding area..

"Is there a script in that helmet??"

Emmett, who naturally came down next to me, asked a question in a low voice with a deep smile as if he was curious, and I quietly answered by holding up three fingers..

"It's different from a wizard who doesn't need a script. I'll pay you three gold coins.."

"You're the best employer."

We didn't completely dominate the city, but it was a good start..

With the help of Emmet and the commander, I quickly rallied the soldiers who had gathered around me to chase me, and quickly moved to advise the others to surrender as well..

"The Demon God is watching over us! Do not follow those who are obsessed with self-interest.!"

"Follow the saint and the warrior! Emmett is already with us.!"

Even while walking to the place where the fight was taking place, people around them started to create slogans and shout out. Then the commotion grew and people joined in one by one, increasing in size..

According to the information given by the saint, it may be because it was a place where public sentiment toward the lord had hit rock bottom in the first place, but there were more people who sympathized with it than those who resisted. Of course, Emmett's name also played a part in it..

"What Emmett said was true.."

"What do you mean??"

"The nickname ‘miser’ is unfair.."

In fact, it didn't just take a small part, it took up a fairly large share. Those who tilted their heads at the sight of saints and warriors become visibly shaken when Emmet's name is mentioned. This person is definitely not a good person, but it is obvious how good he has been in politics..

"Isn’t this just a politician? what kind of wizard..."

"You have to be smart to be good at trickery. Since you're so smart, shouldn't you be a wizard??"

Failing to control my facial expression as I watched the crowd of people suddenly multiplying and waving flags with clothes hanging on some sort of laundry rack, I thought it was a good thing I had taken out my helmet quickly and took offense to Emmet's boasting..

"It's all about the brain suffering because the body is stupid.."

"......What on earth did I just hear??"

It was quite a sight to see Emmet pondering, rolling his eyes from side to side with an expression as if he had seen something strange in the world..
