Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 554

[554[Tuesday] Eldemia, what does that mean?

The commotion caused by Asilier falling down holding the back of her neck wasn't even a commotion..

"My brother caught a dragon?!"

The problem was that the baggage was so heavy that the beastmen spent an entire year just unpacking the bundles while humming about Eldmia's achievements. I don't know where on earth he heard the story, but when Siegfried came running with a very serious expression, Ragnis had to think about whether his memory was wrong..

Didn't I tell you to call me brother? What happened in the meantime that made you voluntarily become my younger brother??

"brother? Are you Eldmia's younger brother??"

Ragnis was not the only one who reacted to his appearance. Warchief Redel turned his head to Siegfried, stroking her chin as if he was very interested, and the other prisoners who were unpacking also began to show great interest in the story about Eld Mia's younger brother..

Even though he was suddenly under the attention of all the prisoners, Siegfried was truly confident. It was obvious that he was embarrassed for a moment, but the sight of him extending his hand for a handshake as if nothing had happened was tongue-in-cheek..

"Ah, sworn brothers, sworn brothers! Nice to meet you. His name is Siegfried. He's a hero.."

Does one have to have that much courage to be a hero? While Ragnis thought that there was a good chance that Eld Mia looked like she usually showed, Redel opened his eyes and burst out laughing in surprise..

"ha ha ha! Are you the hero of that Ete? Our dragon slayer has really wide feet! Nice to meet you! His name is Redel, the Warchief of the Eight Footprints.!"

"Haha, nice to meet you too. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear more details...."

Siegfried was still conversing with Raedel as if he were shameless and calm in many ways, but for some reason, this time, his actions seemed to show a sense of desperation..

While Ragnis was sending Asilier and Sheryl back to the office and checking things with the troops, his complexion became more subtle as he heard the story of Eldmia from Redel. Princess Esselua, who appeared a little later, grabbed his back and dragged him. Until the moment I left, I was talking about something I couldn't understand..

"No, is it real? If my brother comes back like this, he will make fun of me no matter what? Is there an inevitable reason for that to happen? So, is there a decent dragon nearby? I really need to catch a dragon."

"I wonder if the dragon is some kind of wild boar in the backcountry.?!"

Ragnis felt absurd at Siegfried for saying things that did not make common sense, and felt strong envy at the sight of Esselua, who somehow caught him at once and disappeared with the apple..

Yes, that is correct. The dragon is not a mountain animal you encounter along the way, so is it reasonable to catch it or fight it??

Watching Siegfried desperately talk about needing to catch the dragon right now, but unable to resist Esselua's touch, I thought to myself, 'How much more comfortable I would feel if Eldmia followed me even half as well as I did.' After thinking this, Ragnis rested his chin seriously and fell into trouble..

"......I need to carefully ask myself how I can live with it...."

"hmm? what did you say?"

"Oh, nothing.!"

Ragnis, whose true feelings came out without realizing it, hurriedly adjusted his posture and opened his mouth, clearing his throat as if nothing had happened..

"Hmm, hmm! We have confirmed that they are all dragon by-products. Thank you for your cooperation, Warchief Redel.."

Even though I was distracted for a moment, it was true. That's how long the story of Saddam between Redel and Siegfried was. Even though she talked alone for quite some time, Redel, who didn't look tired, still nodded at her with a hearty smile..

"In the realm of the human race, shouldn't we follow the laws of the human race? ha ha ha."

It was a very pleasant and smooth conversation, but it's not over yet..

"However... it's difficult to let them pass right now. If you don't mind, I'll take the time to explain the situation to you.?"

It was an experience that went beyond being mind-boggling and even dizzying. It's clear that we are communicating well and things are progressing cooperatively, so why should we feel at a loss?.

Actually, there is nothing to worry about. Of course, it was because Eldmia caught the dragon..

"hmm? Why??"

"Well... Eldmia is actually quite famous here in EthisL...."

Where should I start the story?.

If you take it like this, Eldmia will be salivating and targeting by-products from the city near the transit point before you return.?

Rather than showing a polite attitude like himself, many nobles will use all kinds of strange excuses and reasons to extort at least a portion of the by-products.?

Even if they somehow manage to reach the capital, they might get caught up in the machinations of the noble house and a fierce war of nerves might break out over the by-products.?

If all the four moons occur at once, Eldmia, who returned from the Demon Territory, will not fight against the Demon King's army, but will start by splitting the bones of those nobles in half, so you have to prepare in advance when you are in Levien to avoid any setbacks.?

...When I thought about it, I realized that it all needed to be said..

"Claiming the right to the dragon slayer's loot... isn't that a bit too brave?...?"

However, Redel, who listened to the story to the end with a very serious attitude, tilted his head and asked back as if he could not understand, and Ragnis ended up explaining the concept of taxes to Redel, and then used that as an excuse to give additional explanations about those who attempt to plunder rather than plunder. continued.

It was an explanation that had in mind those who were so blinded by material greed that they felt self-destructive as they spoke. But what can I do? There are many people who give priority to the dragon in front of them over the invisible dragon slayer..

Ragnis was able to put an end to the confusion caused by the sudden visit after spending a considerable amount of time to not only convince Redel, but also arranging accommodations for Redel and the prisoners, who showed a very polite attitude and obediently complied with his requests, on the sofa in the office. I looked at Asilier, who was lying down and groaning with a wet towel on her forehead, with pitiful eyes..

Next to Asilier, who occasionally mutters things like, 'It's not a dragon, L.D.... but it's not a dragon...', Cheryl, who is looking very sullen for some reason, is looking depressed with her head down. In an atmosphere that could not be called bright, even with empty words, Ragnis, who did not let go of reason alone, brewed a new cup of tea and began to think about how to solve the problems that would arise in the future..

If those items had been destined for the empire, there would have been no problem..

The people of Itisel did not have any ill feelings toward the empire even before the war. This is because Itisel was safe even at the moment when the kingdom of Eshnua grew into an empire through numerous wars of conquest in the past..

Of course, the intention was to use Itisel as a breakwater whenever there was a demon invasion, just as the Western Kingdom area was neglected, but it is more appropriate to say that the evaluation could not have been bad because they did not just neglect it but also actively supported it..

There is no one in power in Itisel who has the justification to prevent or overcome the movement of the dragon's by-products towards such an empire..

This was especially true because the empire had been taking more active steps recently, including dispatching warriors, and Eldmia was clearly able to use the situation to its advantage and safely. If you had just contacted Esmueh right away, I would have welcomed you with open arms..

But instead, Eldmia chose her small house in the capital as her destination..

"At this level, it's hard to tell if you're just not interested or if there's another intention...."

It may be that he simply doesn't like the situation where it can seem like he is running wild with the power around him on his back, but anyway, even if he didn't ask for it, the people around him have no choice but to move on their own. Otherwise, blood and wind will blow..

Ragnis, I'm the type of person who doesn't care about such bloodshed, but... I can't be happy about flying insects clinging to the loot that Eldmia risked her life to obtain. So she sent word to the capital in advance..

It was delivered urgently with the help of Radnell Bandes, so the news must have reached you by now..

"Just when you think you've caught up, you're still moving forward a long way...."

I wanted to hear the royal family's answer directly and take action, but I know I can't. Even if the royal family makes a decision within the shortest possible time, the House of Lords will unconditionally voice opposition in order to secure their own interests. I hope Lenisa can solve the rest later....

-smart.

The knocking sound that interrupts my thoughts is somehow familiar yet awkward..

"...? come in."

This time too, it was Ragnis who had told Lenisa not to come back until dinner, as he would take a break unless it was really urgent. I had already organized other tasks in advance, just in case....

"That, lady. A letter in the name of the royal family..."

"How already...?"

How many more incomprehensible things have to happen in just one day for me to lose my senses? Ragnis was feeling suffocated for some reason, but he summoned Lenisa with a gesture..

And after checking the contents of the letter she handed him, he rubbed his eyes..

"The royal family celebrates the birth of the dragon slayer and recognizes the wandering knight Eldmia Egar's full right to the spoils....?"

The reason Ragnis doubts his eyes is not because of the content. There is no reason to hate someone who accomplished the crazy feat of becoming a dragon slayer at the age of 16, so this content itself was expected. Now the process was the problem..

The fact that the letter came in the name of the royal family, rather than the king, princess, or prince, is ultimately an expression of the royal family's intention to maintain a close relationship and clearly reveal the royal family's favor toward Eldmia..

And from a political perspective, it is never a good thing for the noble family for someone as powerful as Eldmia to establish friendly relations with the royal family. Of course, I thought they would drag it out to get even a little bit of benefit..

'Please inform me.' This is an agenda that can last for over a week just by repeating one magic word. They may try to make the relationship awkward by making excessive demands under the pretext that the royal family does not have authority..

The House of Nobles uses various methods to hinder the royal family, which wants to make things happen quickly, and obtain something beneficial to them..

So, if the royal family takes something, the people whose goal is to take something away to balance the situation, the leaders of such a group are.

"The bill was passed without any compensation....?"

Ragnis frowned as he felt the fatigue that seemed to have eased slightly with the cup of tea building up again..

Because there was no way to know about the collusion between the Duke of Lawinera and the royal family, the concerns continued for a long time without a conclusion being reached..
