Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 535

[535Tue] Brave Meets Brave

There was no process to recover the bodies of the eroded bodies. They say that's what other units should do..

I heard that a priest is called in to purify the body and burn the body. Just as I was wondering if the remnants of the evil spirit were disappearing in that form, Este, who had read my concerns, took the initiative to explain..

[are you okay. I looked at it during the fight earlier, and their energy is so minimal that it will disappear quickly..]

It was a really helpful answer, but on the other hand, it meant that if the energy wasn't slight, it wouldn't go away and could have a negative impact, which made me even more disturbed..

"Two in the square, one near District 3, and the one I caught earlier... four in one day. It's not good."

The reasons were different, but I wasn't the only one who was disturbed..

Just because the battle itself ended easily does not mean that the threat of the corrosive body is easy, Taji's expression was even more serious than when he confronted us..

"Since it was quiet yesterday, wouldn't it be okay to just say that it happened by chance??"

"If it is a structure that is driven like that, it is a problem. What if twenty of those guys come rushing in? Or if you have more reserves?"

Taji scratched his head nervously, took out a leather pouch from his pocket, opened the map inside, and began to look around. Then he explained to the soldiers with a more serious expression..

"Even the location where it appeared was quite far away. It was purely by chance that our group was able to come here. If we hadn't guided Saint Ravisher and pioneer Karl Kansi, who helped us, to the Count, we would have gone on patrol to the western intersection. So what do you think it was like??"

Tension appears on the faces of the soldiers listening to the story. The reaction was so clear that even I, who did not know the terrain of Raitor, could tell that the result was not good. Instead of clicking his tongue and saying that these soldiers were pitiful, Taji changed the topic by saying that he should have understood them..

"I'm waiting until the cleanup unit arrives. I will guide those friends back.."

And that was a good thing for us. The purpose of coming here was to understand the situation and meet with the count, not to kill the corrosive body..

Perhaps because he wanted to prepare for an unexpected situation, Taji walked faster than before, so it was an instant for him to leave the plaza and head to the gate where the headquarters was located..

Taji stopped under the gaze of other soldiers in the middle of the renovated city center, which gave the impression that it was a military camp. He grabbed one of the guards on duty, explained various things about the situation, and greeted us..

"Because of the situation, I can't have a long conversation. I hope we have a chance to talk separately later. I know you guys are all busy, but thanks for your help.."

In addition, before the corrosive body appeared, he had arrived and excitedly asked to tell his story, but it seems that today was not the right day. Still, without hesitation, I turned around and saw Taji off on his way to work, and followed the soldier into a large building that had originally been used as an inn..

This is not just an empty word; it was so large that even the stables made you wonder if it was really the largest inn in the city..

The stables, which seem to fit up to five six-horse carriages, are filled with war horses, not the horses of adventurers or travelers, and the flower beds that appear to have been beautifully planted with flowers have stakes. I don't know if there had actually been a battle before or if it was brought in from somewhere else, but a couple of the stakes had changed color from blood..

While Carl Kansi and I, who discovered that there were traces of walls being broken down and space expanded, were seriously betting on whether the innkeeper would have sold the building for a reasonable price or been forced out, the soldier guiding us was sitting on a wide table. He looked at the large map and objects placed there and spoke a little loudly in front of those who were seriously skeptic..

"The guests introduced by Sergeant Taji personally would like to meet the Count.."

Then, as if it were a lie, the murmur stopped and all eyes were on us. There was nothing up to that point, but it was a bit surprising that the voices of the soldiers in other spaces without walls naturally quieted down as the people in charge of the meeting fell silent..

Is the situation so critical that even a single soldier pays attention to the mood of the commanders, or are they worried about abnormal situations because they are so trusting?.

Even though the inside story was unknown, the person who responded was a middle-aged man with hair so shiny that it seemed like a halo would form when the sun shines on it..

"Tajji?"

The horns rising from the forehead are not demons, but are reminiscent of demons often passed down from a past life. There may have been a recent fierce battle, so half of the left horn was cut off, but I can assure you that if both horns were still intact, it would have been possible to hit a headbutt so fierce that it would have slapped a Deoni saint..

That alone is impressive enough, but the armor he is wearing also looks heavier and thicker than what others are wearing, which once again attracts attention. With a fur cape draped over her shoulders, her stomach felt huge even though she was about the same height as me..

However, unlike all those combinations, another point is that the face that slowly raises its head is strangely naive. He doesn't even have a beard, so he looks strangely younger than others who grow beards..

"yes! The guests are pioneer Karl Kansi and Saint of Retribution Ravisher, and they are said to have information on the current status of Rengi Epagasiera and monsters.!"

The soldier's answer created a murmur again..

Some people reacted to the word Rengi, and some responded to our name, but most of them reacted the most to the fact that it was information about monsters, so it seemed like the corrosive creatures were quite upset..

"Good work."

Count Raitor was the only one who reacted calmly and consistently. When he held out his hand with a brief congratulation, the soldier gave a polite salute and left the place without even looking back, and Count Raitor began to stare at me with an expressionless face that made it difficult to tell what he was thinking..

To the point where I feel like it's a bit excessive. As he was about to look to see if something was wrong, another driver next to him cautiously opened his mouth..

"Count. You have to say it first.."

"Oh my. I made a mistake. I'm sorry."

I almost burst out laughing at that moment, but I barely held back. His expression still didn't change, but I could feel his sincerity in his reaction as he slightly raised his eyes and flinched with a feeling of 'Oops!'.

"These days, the only time we have guests from outside is when we split the heads of monsters. Nice to meet you. I am the lord of this place, Pasirosa ur Sepia del Raitor.."

He was a man full of gaps, from his appearance to his behavior to his name..

"My name is Ethan Ravischer.."

"My name is Carl Kansi.."

Unlike the other people's curious looks on me, who was greeting me according to the etiquette learned from Count Timsiv, and Karl Kansi, who was greeting me as politely as possible, even if it wasn't etiquette, Count Raitor nodded lightly and naturally offered me a seat..

"Taj has vouched for your identity, so there is no need to doubt. The rumor about you spread all the way to Raitor. It's nice to meet a true believer who appeared in difficult and difficult times.."

After chatting with him briefly, I found him to be a very simple person for a nobleman..

It wasn't just because they were demons, the other nobles in the church procession, led by Count Timsiv, also looked like nobles, and the other commanders present here also had a very noble feel..

However, none of them objected to Count Raitor's simplicity. Since he looks very familiar, I guess he's really this kind of person..

"Is it even better than Count Raitor, who did not give in and raised his voice despite the persecution of the Demon King's army?."

"Unlike you, I am a noble so I just didn't have a choice. As the successor to Raitor, I cannot ignore my duties.."

There are so many people in the world who ignore that..

He, who was accumulating a stack of favors every time he spoke, stopped the meeting for a moment and moved to a room that had been converted into his own private room, and even showed consideration by asking him to bring food and drinks before getting into the main topic..

"It might be uncomfortable to speak while surrounded by soldiers. I can't even leave my lieutenant in the name of security, but I can trust this guy, so talk to him as comfortably as possible.."

I was wondering how to naturally create an environment where people could be alone while keeping an eye on others, but I never thought things would turn out so easily..

I was once again impressed by the humanity of the Count of Raitor and without hesitation, I unlocked his magic and divine powers..

"Actually, I am a warrior, and the church is nearby to help you.."

And to ensure a clear visual effect, I didn't forget to carefully select the aesthetics so as not to overwhelm..

Count Raitor and his adjutant, who had been watching my actions with a calm expression until just now, looked at each other, then looked at Este, then slowly looked at me, and were shocked when they saw the light pouring from Este once again..
