Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 522
[522[Tuesday] Dragon Slayer Dragon Slayer
The prisoners strictly kept their verbal promises..
Rather than retrieving the dragon's leg, they prioritized letting the people waiting outside the barrier in..
Until now, due to the pact with the Demon King's army, the truth about the dragon known as the Wind King could not be revealed to the public, so he showed a coercive attitude and threatened him, but now he may have thought that there was no need to do so, and it is incomparable to when he first encountered him. While maintaining a friendly attitude..
Thanks to this, I had to spend time explaining the sudden change to people..
The process of convincing people was definitely tiring, but it didn't feel so tiring when I thought that I was able to provide enough rest to people who couldn't get proper rest even in the city due to financial problems..
As expected, the period of rest that Warchief Redel offered in exchange for the dragon's legs was only three weeks. It was an ample reprieve for us since we had no intention or could stay that long in the first place..
In fact, at first, I thought that the number of people reaching 20,000 might be viewed too lightly, but fortunately, that was not the case. Under his command, the beastmen moved quickly and set up tents for living in the grassland, and filled in the supplies they lacked with the help of other foot print tribes..
When I heard the story later, I found out that all the tribes of the Eight Footprints came together to help..
"It would not be an exaggeration to say that the person who received Krul's recognition is our family, so it is no different from a member of the tribe catching a dragon.."
Although the King of Wind's hind legs are huge, I wondered if it was strange that he not only provided such large-scale support but also prepared a grand celebration for the dragon slayer, so I asked him if it was a bit strange, and the answer I got was that it truly came from a beast-man's way of thinking..
At first, the atmosphere was just to receive favors in peace, since it was a benefit anyway..
However, it took less than three days for everyone to realize that the celebration they were preparing for the dragon slayer was as large as a festival, and on the fourth day, they voluntarily started helping with the preparations for the festival without anyone asking them to do so. did.
No one complained about that atmosphere. People quickly realized why the prisoners had accepted them, even though they were not told the details..
For the first time in a long time, I had a comfortable rest in a relaxed atmosphere, but I was not included in it..
While I was quietly watching the shamans and the church's priests sit together in a large tent prepared by the prisoners and exchange opinions, Emmett, who had just entered the tent, approached me and quietly asked:.
"How is our warrior’s condition??"
At that question, my eyes naturally turned to the bed the prisoners had placed. And after seeing his unchanged appearance for five days, I gave a small answer..
"No change."
It has been five days since the hero, Eldmia, complained of fatigue and took a rest..
He still doesn't open his eyes..
Emmett looked around to see the renowned shamans and high-ranking priests of the church gathered in the Eight Steps, sitting together and talking seriously. He took off the coat he was wearing, levitated his staff in the air, made it into a hanger, and hung it there. Only after letting go did I approach Eldmia's side..
"Magic power... is stable. There was no problem with the magic engine while I was away...."
Although he revealed a lot of money, he was the most skilled wizard among the few wizards on our side, and like other shamans and priests, he did his best to understand Eldmia's condition to the extent he could..
He was wondering if anyone knew of a case where he went into suspended animation after killing a dragon, so he went so far as to use space-travel magic to visit all eight steps, and has now returned. He was probably tired in many ways, but he didn't show it at all and only walked towards me after completing a brief examination..
"It's a shame there aren't two dragon slayers. If something happens, I'll tell you, so get some rest. Looking at you, it looks like you haven't been able to sleep properly for three days.."
"it's okay."
"Well, that's true, but I don't think my employer would feel that way. Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up from a good night’s sleep and be greeted by a haggard companion??"
Although it sounded like a light statement, it made sense..
Even though more than ten talented priests and shamans had gathered, the cause was unknown. The only abnormal symptom is that he continues to sleep. It would have been a different story if something had happened to her body, but Eldmia, who is actually lying in bed, is sleeping soundly without breaking a drop of sweat..
"...That's right.."
I didn't realize it because I was dazed and hoping for a recovery, but after hearing what he said, I realized later that I hadn't slept for about two days..
It was definitely funny that the complexion of a person who was moving normally was worse than that of someone who had suddenly fallen asleep and not been able to wake up for several days. I couldn't remember the last time I had a meal, so I got up to eat something and get some sleep, but my eyes started spinning and I had to be helped by Emmett..
"Was he really not moving??"
"Is that possible? They are the ones who are not moving.."
I was just out of focus, but the tribe's shamans and the church's priests were keeping a close eye on Eldmia's condition to see if there was any problem and were performing holy magic and magic..
I don't know if that really means anything. However, since they fought with the blood of a dragon exposed to the influence of an evil spirit, their claim that there might be some influence made some sense, so we will just let them have their way..
Personally, I just wanted to tell everyone to rest, but I couldn't stop them because they felt like they were going to die of anxiety right now if they didn't do that..
"I hope he at least wakes up before the celebration starts.."
A celebration begins centered around the holy sword Este, which Eldmia plunged into the dragon's corpse before going to sleep, saying that the remnants of the evil spirit must be eliminated as soon as tomorrow..
Even the prisoners from Eight Footsteps joined in, and in the midst of such a bustle that one could believe it was in the middle of a busy city, the prisoners really enjoyed themselves and prepared as if it were their own work, and the group of people who had been with them up to this point also temporarily felt the fatigue of the march and the reality of being fugitives. I put it off and was having fun with the prisoners..
Since we can't pour cold water on such an atmosphere, Eldmia's condition is a secret that only a few people know..
"Like I said, I'll take some rest. I guess I'll have to offer them some food too.."
"My goodness, there are so many people who are extremely sincere. He's like a warrior.."
"That expression needs to be corrected a bit.."
I looked at Emmett, who was asking a question with a puzzled expression on his face, and corrected his incorrect expression..
"'It's like an 'ideal' warrior.."
There are more warriors than one might think who have not received public support since ancient times, so the expression ‘befitting a warrior’ was not the right word..
Emmett said with a small smile, 'Indeed.' He agreed with my opinion in one word..
◈
It's a familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling..
No, the expression “ceiling” was inappropriate. This empty space had no boundaries or divisions. I just rely on my sense of where I'm standing on my feet to distinguish between the floor and the ceiling..
[...It's a bit weird for me to say this, but what on earth are you doing?.]
Epaga welcomed me with the same attitude. The only difference was that, unlike back then, he clearly looked embarrassed..
"It's a bit odd for me to say this, but it seems like he's doing a lot of things worthy of the name of a hero.."
In response, he took a posture as if he was praying and showed courtesy along with a joke..
There was a difference for me too. Ephaga's voice still resonated in my head and my body, but unlike in the past, it was quite bearable. At this level, I think I can listen more comfortably than last time..
[You seem to be aware that you have enough space to joke around, but you don't know where that space comes from..]
In our last encounter, Epacca did not move a single step, but this time, he stood up from his pure white throne and approached me. Then, a pressure that was incomparable to when we were just talking pressed down on me again..
"Hey, Epaga.?"
[Be patient. In order to truly understand your condition, we need to shorten the distance..]
If that can be solved by narrowing the distance, wouldn't it be possible to just sit down and solve it? The words tried to come up to the tip of my chin, but they stuck out..
I saw with my own eyes that the distance between you and me, which until now I felt was just a physical distance, was a problem of a completely different level..
Until he took the first two steps, he was normal, but as soon as he took the third step, Epaga's body, which I thought was roughly the size of a shepherd's body, became as big as mine..
[Even though you understood that it was not a normal space, did you think of this street as normal??]
Epaga, who was quite serious, burst into laughter when he read my reaction. Then she felt a greater pressure than when she first met, and she almost lost her senses..
[This is the limit for now..]
I was really glad that you understood it without me having to explain it. Now I don't even have time to talk, let alone joke. I thought I could get there in 20 steps, but I can't believe that only 4 steps made such a difference. I have no idea what will happen once we get there..
Epacah looked at me for a moment, then turned around and returned to his throne before opening his mouth..
At first, I thought it was consideration for me, but...
[I see something wrong. A piece of divinity that does not belong anywhere.]
...As soon as Epha heard what you said, he changed his mind..
This won't be treated as a heresy because it has a lot to do with the remnants of evil spirits.?
