Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 526
[526[Tuesday] Dragon Slayer Dragon Slayer
As the atmosphere grew, I realized that I was too drunk..
As to how strong it was, Redel, who was drunk, fought a battle with all the nameless eight-footed chieftains that he had brought with him in the evening, and he was strong enough to survive alone..
Thanks to this, an amphitheater has now been created around me with onlookers looking in astonishment at the numerous barrels of liquor we have cleared away and the warchiefs whose complexions have lost their taste..
"This is ridiculous...."
Redel, who seemed to have the strongest drinking power, was the first to collapse a long time ago. The one who held out until the end was the matriarch of the fourth footprint..
As soon as she put down her glass with difficulty, she saw me hitting the liquor in the glass with one shot. She couldn't hold on and crawled on the floor, cheering and exclamations erupted from the audience at the same time..
"The dragon slayer defeated all the warchiefs.!"
Incongruous with living in a ger, the prisoners' drink was closer to whiskey. Since it was something I was used to, I planned to drink it in moderation and stop when I got tired, but it went on beyond my imagination and I felt strange later..
I certainly drank a lot when I was working on a masterpiece with Siegfried in the Empire, but it couldn't be compared to that. At first, I thought it was because the alcohol was weak, but the reason was completely different..
The body is recovering on its own as if it were a sacred method for detoxification. When I roughly check the speed, it seems like I can get rid of the drunkenness by about one drink if it takes two drinks in one shot..
Neither I nor Este secretly used sex magic, nor was there anything like this in the hero buff, so the culprit was clearly the dragon birth control that Iranoreff had excitedly scattered..
"Do you usually drink that much??"
"no. I think it's because of the dragon's blood.."
At first, I was looking at it with interest, but now I was looking at Emmett, who was looking at me with a bored look. I calmly answered the questions and recalled my memories. This time she didn't even have to ask for Emmett's wisdom. This is because Epaga has already vaguely told us about the symptoms that dragon blood will bring..
According to Epaga's explanation, dragon blood was a debuff for some, a buff for others, and could cause some people to die of shock as they could not resist magic just by being covered in blood..
However, drinking Emmet's blood and taking a bath with it doesn't mean you can get the benefit. It is said that only the blood shed while the dragon is still alive has the same effect as this lucky draw random draw..
They said it was a symptom that appeared because the dragon's life force was so deeply connected to magic... but I couldn't hear the principle. The information that Epaga did not explain was at the level of being forced out of the room of time and mind the moment I heard it, so I had no other options..
All I could hear was that the dragon's characteristics could be transferred. Whether it's good or bad. Since such a danger could arise from just being hit by scattered blood, it is said that even when Epagar was still mortal, unless he was quite crazy, it was common to prepare a definite countermeasure and confront the dragon..
Yes, that's right. As Epaga looked at me while saying that, his gaze was clearly directed at a crazy person. I defended myself by saying that if I had that knowledge, I would have been careful and prepared, but it didn't seem to have much effect..
Fortunately, I haven't had any debuffs yet, perhaps thanks to the magical power added to the hero's buff and the fact that I've exploded two of Teneasi's recovery orbs, which are no wonder even if they are treated as miracles. Perhaps one of the reasons is that Iranorev's status was low..
"If I had known this would happen, I would have run and hit her when the blood started spouting.."
"If it only had a curse-like effect, the contract would have been canceled.."
Emmett chuckled, saying, 'That's not possible.' Carl Kansi, who was listening to the story from the side and regretting not being there one more time, withdrew his regret..
"By the way, there was no information about the blood of a living dragon having such different effects, as it was very rare for a dragon like Iranorev to be caught. Just figuring this out is not a bad harvest.."
Thanks to the drunkenness and enthusiastic shouts of the onlookers, our quiet conversation was not heard by others..
Emmet, who was sipping pseudo-whiskey like wine and writing down various things, used magic to lift the eight warchiefs who were in a state of intoxication and unable to move, and left, offering to move them to their lodgings. After the warchiefs had retired, the rain poured down on us. Interest cooled down quickly.
To be exact, if there was an event, we would gather together, but if not, it was closer to the feeling that they were considerate so that I could eat and enjoy comfortably. Once again impressed by the kindness of the prisoners, I had a drink with Karl Kansi, vowing that I would beat up any bastards who captured these prisoners and sold them as slaves..
"As soon as we get out of here, we'll head straight to Raitor, right? How did you decide on the route??"
What came out as soon as I took a sip of my drink was, surprisingly, not a trivial chat, but something related to work..
"Seeing as he was talking about work instead of resting, I guess he enjoyed it enough.."
As the number of people riding on their backs reached 20,000, the attitude of preparing in advance was actually welcome, but I did not expect Karl Kansi to speak up first..
If I had to use an analogy, I would say that I felt like a boss watching an intern do his job without asking him to do it. It was very unexpected, so I said it in an appropriate teasing way, and he responded with a polite smile..
"Anyway, I told you that the tribe members will send the customer's loot separately. In that case, it means that the departure will take place in two to three days at the most, but from the guide's point of view, time is running out.."
As expected, he is a friend with a strong work ethic. I was already getting tired of doing this from lunch to dinner, so I reflected on as much as I could what I had heard from Saint Deoni and shared the information with Kal Khansi..
According to him, Raitor's rebellion, which we heard about even before we left Epagasierra in Lenghi, was still going on..
What can be said to be a change is that the supporters of the Demon God Religion, who were on the defensive side, began to be pushed back more than expected. According to the information Kal Kansi heard, it seems that a new helper has appeared for the supporters of the attacking Demon Lord's Army..
"Of course, it is more likely that the Demon King's Army intervened than that a supporter of the Demon King's Army who was walking down the street helped. Maybe the rumored special task force was involved.."
special task force.
It was a name that could not be overlooked..
"Are there any rumors about those guys from the special task force??"
"There are a lot of rumors. They are the devil's direct troops, there is no blood or tears, even high-ranking military generals bow their heads when the Special Operations Unit appears, etc. Oh, there is also a story that the hero is actually a member of the Special Operations Division.."
It's a ridiculous story, but it's true. Unlike Karl Kansi, who considers it to be a useless operation, I couldn't help but be bothered by that last rumor..
"That last rumor, is it just a rumor? Or is there some kind of believable sighting??"
"What, I didn't expect a customer who was a true hero to care that much.?"
Karl Kansi's eyes widened as if in surprise, but instead of needlessly asking why, he tried to recall his memory to answer my question..
"Ah, I remembered. It was a bit vague to call it an eyewitness, but since the rumor has spread since then, it's probably true. It's been 3 years since the war broke out with Itisel? 4 years? It was around that time, and at that time, there were still many demons left who followed the ideology and policies of the previous demon king.."
It is said that the evaluation of the previous Demon King, who advocated peaceful exchanges with the humans, was just average..
I also admire the mindset of the previous Demon King who worked hard for peace, but from the perspective of the parties involved, the period of biting each other would have been longer than the period of friendship throughout history, so it would have been great for the approval rating to be even in the middle..
"By now, most of them have been suppressed or disappeared, but at the time I'm talking about, there were still some rebels left? It was a fairly large force that attacked right in front of the capital... It is said that there was an incident where almost half of the troops were blown away in one blow and they surrendered unconditionally.."
"I don’t think it’s a solid rumor.."
"Rather, the content was so absurd that everyone just shrugged it off. They said that a kid with a spear came out and swung the spear and half of the troops disappeared.."
Karl Kansi was still talking as if it was no big deal, but I couldn't help but flinch..
"...window?"
"Eh? Pay more attention to the window than to the word kid?"
"The weapon Epaga used was the Holy Spear Este.."
"Huh, you really are a warrior of the Demon God Cult. I also studied history. That's right, so when I heard that rumor at the time, I thought it was nothing more than an obvious operation by the Demon King's army. It was a time when the church was silent, unlike now, but handing over the Holy Spear to the Demon King's army was no different from giving full support. It was too quiet for that, so the back and forth was incoherent.."
Through some sharp reasoning, Karl Kansi decided that it was a rumor spread by the Demon King's Army to secure legitimacy, but it seems he was wrong this time..
There is a very high possibility that he is a salt warrior..
"After that?"
"I heard it consistently at regular intervals. But the Special Operations Unit itself is so secretive that there is nothing you can trust. Above all, now the church has not only rebelled against the Demon King's army, but has also unleashed a blow on the battlefield. I don't believe them unless they are really passionate supporters of the Demon Lord's Army. They are just crazy people who say that the church created fake heroes and that the real heroes are in the devil's army, so it doesn't mean anything.."
Carl Kansi shrugged his shoulders calmly and laughed it off, saying, ‘Whatever happens now, it’s best not to run into him.’ But I thought differently..
Those bastards were the ones who caused my hometown to disappear in the first place, so it was best to meet them no matter what..
Especially if it involves a salty warrior..
