Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 555
[555[Tuesday] Eldemia, what does that mean?
be sad.
I suddenly felt that way.
Startled by the sudden chill, I trembled and looked around, but there was nothing strange..
“why but?”
“it's nothing. Suddenly something felt creepy...”
“Don't you think you have a cold??”
“Maybe so..”
Although he was recovering quickly under the care of Saint Deoni and the priests, he was not yet fully recovered. I have a strong body that has never caught a cold since I was young, but my immunity may have weakened as I overexerted myself this time..
If it were Lighter, I would have covered myself with a blanket and slept comfortably, but unfortunately, there is no other way now..
“How come this is all for today? I still have a few more days to go before I can use the gate, so I think it's better to take care of your health..”
“it's okay. It's not like I'm using a lot of my body..”
When I answered with a light shrug, Emmet cast the spell right away without asking twice. Then, the attention of the demons gathered around us began to turn to us..
Even after leaving Raitor and starting to move towards the next stopover, they were wizards who studied the classes that continued steadily as if they were taking a university course, trying to somehow get something out of it. Even Emmet, who at first looked at me disapprovingly for going to learn without paying, responded with indifference, and after that it became just another part of my daily routine..
It is a magic that can be completed in an instant without adjusting the speed because I don't want to teach them for free, but it doesn't matter because I can now complete the analysis surprisingly quickly and interfere with the magic to dispel it..
Although it is not yet at the level of disassembling a completed spell and using it to complete a dispel, it is easy to intervene. Watching a magic trick collapse in real time according to my intentions gave me a completely different catharsis than unilaterally cutting off magical power and preventing the magic from completing..
Should I say that it is closer to the joy felt when the results come out as planned? Of course, since my opponent is Emmett, my dispel has not been successful yet. It was only natural that there was a greater difference than a match between a chess grandmaster and someone who had just started playing chess..
But just watching him reverse my dispel and defend against it is a study. He's much more interesting and fun than just sitting at a desk reading magic books..
“Normally, you shouldn't be able to study just by looking at that. It's embarrassing to have a client who is so talented..”
Although Emmet seems embarrassed by his words, he has no hesitation in showing off his skills..
I could see that his words were not completely empty just by looking at the wizards who were flocking to learn from us. The intensity of the class increases every two days, but at the end of each class, there are more people who are puzzled or rack their brains because they don't know what's going on, rather than people who are happy with new knowledge..
As Emmett said, I was the one who learned very quickly. Thanks to this, I no longer care whether I use magic poetry or not. Are you sure that your eyes have been opened at this level? After doing that for a while, I got used to it and now I can even afford to try conversation from time to time.
”But is it okay to just dispel all the time??”
“If you don't even know the basics of magic, it's better to learn the techniques first. However, if you have accumulated knowledge like you, dispel is better. Magic ultimately develops further through flexible thinking, and there is no training better than Dispel..”
Emmett's theory is that if you learn from a textbook, you will remain at the textbook level. I don't know if that's really true or just his subjective judgment, but it doesn't matter since it's useful to me anyway..
The class, which was held in a corner of the camp in the evening, ended at exactly one hour, unlike when I stayed in Raitor. At the same time, the wizards groaned, but we decided not to care at all, so we walked away as if we hadn't seen anything..
This is already the fifth day of outdoor classes. Of the dozens of wizards at first, only five or six remain. The process of getting used to it was fast, so by the time I got to the city where Sor and the gate were connected, there was a high possibility that I would give up on everything and go off on my own..
Despite the fact that not only Count Raitor and his troops but also citizens who followed the church joined in, our movement was very easy..
Of course, it was not that there were no unfortunate incidents such as monster attacks or groups unintentionally leaving the group, but it was enough that they never faced the worst situation, a direct attack by the Demon King's army..
However, this does not mean that the Demon King's army showed no movement. Less than a day after we left Raitor through the gate, troops were stationed to monitor us. If you keep a clear distance and approach from this side in any way, he will run away without hesitation, so it was quite annoying..
Count Raitor, who observed their movements, searched for places along our movement route where the Demon King's army could make a surprise attack in preparation for the possibility of a battle in the near future, and pointed out a total of three places..
Fortunately, two of them were in vain, and now only one remains..
"If we continue at this pace tomorrow, we will reach the third and final position before the afternoon.."
After class, Saint Deoni began the briefing with key personnel gathered at the command post where we joined on time. Her gaze glanced around once before fixating on me..
"I've been watching the progress for the past few days, but the warrior has not yet recovered enough to fight. So, even if the battle with the Demon King's army begins tomorrow, we will go into battle without the hero. Please use your troops in the manner you knew in advance.."
[Master, something has become useless....]
Knowing the condition of my body, I decided to respect the saintess's opinion instead of acting unreasonably, but Este's outrageous remarks, which came to her senses for the first time in a while and started making fun of my snout, were an issue that could not be taken lightly, so I decided to write it down in the list, promising to do it later..
In fact, strictly speaking, he has recovered enough to be able to easily suppress a decent number of soldiers..
However, due to my mistake, I lost sight of Soha with my face down, and the specific impression has fallen into their hands. If I go to the front in this state, I will be safe from the elites of the devil's army who are rushing at me with their eyes lit to send me across the Jordan River. The conclusion we all came to together was that it would be difficult to do..
Fortunately, my magic is fine now, so I'm working hard to learn to at least provide long-distance support through magic, but I don't know yet if I can really help. In the end, I should have just sucked my finger until the meeting came to a close..
After conveying the business as briefly as possible and the meeting concluded, I was left alone with the saint for a regular checkup. As always, I sat down on a chair so that she could take a look, but the saint saw that no one around me had disappeared. Then he told a completely different story..
"In fact, I don't need any more checkups today. I just made an excuse to pass along additional information about the situation.."
"Is there anything I need to know??"
Anyway, this time, like Eldmia who listens well, I was planning to stay quietly locked up in a safe place, unless it's some serious trouble..
I asked sincerely, wondering if there was something else I could ask for, but what I got in return was the saintess's glaring eyes and cold gaze..
"Rather, I just thought it would be better to minimize the possibility of information being leaked. Originally, I was planning to keep it to myself, but since you don't know anything, there's a good chance that you'll overdo it in a situation where there's no need to do so... Well, in that sense, it's something the warrior should know.."
For some reason, it was a small letter full of crooked folds that came along with a painful warning from the saint, whose every word had become extremely bitter since my condition worsened. The contents of the letter, which I carefully received and read to avoid tearing it, were truly surprising..
Not only did some cities originally located on the supply route of the Demon King's army begin to oppose the Demon King's army as the church's forces grew larger, but Levien's forces cooperated with them and suppressed the surrounding Demon King's army and advance bases. It contained information that it was coming..
Moreover, thanks to the unusual speed, it was clear that if things continued at this rate, we would reach the vicinity of Sor within a week..
"Since the information is not from the Empire but obtained through our contacts, many details are missing, but looking at the actions and reactions of the Demon Lord's army, it appears that they are moving as quietly as possible while destroying the enemy's means of communication.."
While listening to the saint's additional explanation, I was so fascinated that I ended up reading it several times. There was no military force like this in Levien that I knew of, so what on earth is going on? Has Ragnis awakened to an unknown power??
"I don't know what you're thinking when you're laughing, but anyway, we have a very advantageous situation, so don't try to step forward.."
She was a saint who only smiled slightly at the long-awaited good news, but accepted it in a strange way..
