Never touch Eldmia Egga-Episode 558

[558Tue] Fair and fair

Being too strong in your faith is not always a good thing..

Even Saint Deoni reacted that way based on the mere hypothesis that there might have been a power that could deceive even God, whom she had no doubts about believing in. It was a shame that I only told the saint, but if I had brought it up in a public setting without thinking, the rumor would have spread uncontrollably and confusion might have increased..

Fortunately, after quickly clearing up the saintess's confusion without any untoward incident, she was able to understand quickly after that..

"Surprisingly... it might be worth it.."

It may not be as easy as it sounds to create illusions for the military..

But now, as the saint said, there was so much groundwork laid down while heading to Sor that we were in a situation where we could achieve quite a big result if we just combined the rumors spreading appropriately..

While heading to Epagasierra in Rengi, he earned the nickname of the Saint of Punishment and achieved a series of achievements. Not only did he save the city, which had been unilaterally destroyed by the power of the erosion body, but he also completely killed the erosion body and then stationed himself there as a demon king. The military destroyed them without even giving them a chance to report to their superiors..

Among the many cities, he went to Revere, where the financial relationship between the miser Emmett and the then Count of Revere had gone sour, bribed him, and unleashed a spirit of digging backwards from the inner castle to the outer castle..

After disappearing for several weeks, he suddenly crossed the territory of the beastmen and suddenly appeared in Raitor. Needless to say, in the process, they killed the dragon that was coiled up in the beastmen's territory..

And in that Raitor, Soha Shinore, who may have been the Demon King's hidden card, was driven to the brink of death..

Meanwhile, the church's losses were nil. This is the result even though not only the troops are leading the movement, but all kinds of civilians are moving together..

If the Demon King is truly a returnee, then only the worst incidents have occurred, one after another, with all the items in his office being reduced to dust..

"To be more honest, it seems that the level of what can be said to be surprisingly worth doing has gone too far. I am so ashamed of myself for being blinded by delusion and trembling in fear in this situation.."

The devil will be madly curious as to why we acted like this. Was the information leaked somewhere, or was it a result of complete coincidence?.

Or is there a regression that you are not aware of?.

"Even if, by chance, the Demon King is not a returner, it is still an advantage. In that case, you will eventually have no choice but to doubt the inside.."

It would be a different story if we were stuck in a city or something, but fortunately, we are a group that moves around like nomads, so the information the devil wants exists only within us. It was a fundamental advantage brought about by the central point of faith..

There is no need to brag as if you knew everything. In fact, if that happens, the chances of your shameless lie being discovered will only increase..

I heard somewhere that they knew it would happen.

That's enough..

"Since ancient times, it has been a fundamental teaching that thieves go numb. Even if you stay still, you'll go crazy, but if you include the information that you may not be the only one who has regressed, it will be quite a spectacle.."

When I said that and smiled, the saint responded with a strange smile and then carefully opened her mouth..

"Smiling like a villain."

"this."

Since it was almost an established fact that my main enemy was the devil, my true feelings came out without me knowing..

The saintess, who had been seriously contemplating for a moment in front of me, who had suddenly received a scolding that was not a scolding that maintained the dignity of a warrior, soon shook her head with something similar to a laugh..

"It's really surprising... but once we get the hang of it, many situations around us help us. Lord Sor is eligible for this agenda.."

"Are you talking about that friend whose whims are boiling over??"

"I've never said that before, but now that I think about it, it's not really wrong.."

If rumors suddenly spread or other voices start to come out from the church, which has been kept under wraps until now, anyone will be suspicious, but if the source of the rumors is him, most nobles will naturally shake their heads and leave. It was an evaluation of.

"Saying things you shouldn't say in public happens so often that I can't even count them. Sometimes I wonder if they do it on purpose.."

"...Are you really a good person??"

Why does my credibility plummet every time I hear an explanation as if I were the perfect talent to complete the plan?.

The saint seemed to understand my disbelief and smiled nervously..

"I don't know if he's a good person, but... he's a trustworthy person.."

"Because of faith?"

"Because of faith."

Although it was still difficult to understand, I decided to believe in the attitude of the saint who spoke calmly but confidently, not Lord Sor..

After the story was concluded, it was another busy day..

The saintess carefully selected and consulted people within the command center who could definitely be arrested, made preliminary preparations, and decided on a policy to no longer have any interest in the Demon King's army's patrol unit..

There was no backlash. In fact, there were more opinions that it might be better than slowing down the advance due to unnecessary vigilance as they reached their destination soon..

Unlike the saint who became busy in many ways, what I do hasn't changed much..

We check our physical condition every day and take classes from Emmett. After about three days, sparring with Karl Kansi was added to her routine for her rehabilitation, but that was it..

This is because a group of trustworthy minds came together and decided that it would be better to spread rumors later. I couldn't even bring up the story that I was a reincarnated person, but since they listened to my story seriously, no problems arose..

"You don't seem like a warrior in many ways.."

Emmett, who was classified as one of those trustworthy people who shared our plans and actively appealed his opinions, immediately said this when he saw me working hard in class..

"I don't think there is any warrior like me.."

I personally heard the words of God, had conversations with him, made achievements, and even made a holy sword, so it was not self-praise..

"I never thought I would say that out loud. To be honest, I'm more of a berserker than a hero, so don't you think the results were good?."

But Emmett just responded coolly to my sullen answer with a mischievous smile. Is it because he's a wizard? The cowardly facts were very heavy..

When I wrinkled my nose in dissatisfaction, Emmet burst into laughter, canceled the spell, and took away his wand. It was a signal for break time..

"In fact, it's just something I abbreviated too arbitrarily while organizing my thoughts, and it doesn't mean what you think. What I mean is... warriors always have clear goals. A devil, an evil god, or an alien being with transcendent power. Regardless of race or religion, everyone is like this.."

"...Isn’t it obvious? This is the power given to me to do so.."

"That's true, but the important part comes next. A warrior like that always had one goal. Like an arrow that escapes from the bowstring held by the gods and flies towards its target, it only hits one target.."

As I watched Emmett, who had decided to take advantage of the short break to chat, he brought his coat over and sat on it like a chair, and I sat down across from him. I wanted to do what he did, but it was easy because it was a magic tool. If I had to grab a random piece of cloth and do the same, I would only lose more energy..

At first, I followed along without knowing anything, but Emmett gave me no explanation and I couldn't rest properly. It seems like it's only been a little while, but it already feels like it's such a long time ago..

"I didn't mention it yesterday, but in fact, when we look at this problem, we need to think about the world before the return of the Demon King before looking at it from the present perspective. Assuming that the Empire's warrior was the Demon King's counterpart, then whose counterpart was Soha Shinor, who somehow still seems to have the qualities of a warrior??"

"...uh......"

That's what I heard and saw. In order for the hypothesis I argued to be correct, there had to be a good reason for Soha Shinor to become a warrior..

"Epagar must have sensed something threatening his children, and appointed Soha as a hero to prevent it. In the end, it's all just a family, but I think the Soha of that world must have done the job of a hero well.."

"Why do you think that??"

"I guess he's here because he's so talented that he's considered an enemy I want to recruit. If it were me, I would have killed the mediocre enemy as soon as he returned.."

After hearing it again this time, it seems to be true. Even though it is the rule of the country to become weaker when you become an ally after being an enemy, the normal response would be to try if possible..

"The real problem starts here. I don't know if Soha Shinor has completely lost the power of a warrior, but... if you say it, it's clear that he still has the qualities of a warrior. I think this phenomenon may be evidence that the unidentified power that turns the world upside down is not perfect, or that it is not one-sided enough to overwhelm all gods, but what is important now is the 'power' given by the demon god with 'purpose'. The point is that it is maintained.."

The tip of Emmett's cane scratches the dirt floor, carving letters..

Next to Siegfried was an arrow and a demon king, and next to Soha Shinor was his staff, which had the words "Darkness of the Previous World" engraved on it. This time, it started writing my name..

Only a question mark was engraved next to the name Eldmia Egar..

"I don't know how much coercive power he has, but if you consider the meaning of the existence of a hero, my hypothesis is that there is a high possibility that Soha Shinore will ultimately achieve his purpose as a hero in some form. And in that case, even if Epaga himself granted you power, there is a high possibility that you are not the opposite of the evil being who caused an incident of this ridiculous scale.."

So that's what I said. I don't look like a warrior.

Even though he left out a lot of information about me, Emmett's guess was sharp. It sounds like a more credible guess since Epa said that he had no intention of reincarnating me and making me a warrior..

"Among the sayings left by high-ranking dragons, long-lived elves, and people who have reached the realm of demigods and mastered something after numerous feats, there is something called 'the balance of the world.' Perhaps the existence of you is not just a warrior, but something that was brought forward to balance the fact that the existence that was the antithesis of Soha Shinore has excessively twisted the providence of the world.?"

Emmet, who was talking about something similar to what he had heard from blacksmith Lummings in his hometown of Asilier, then stroked his handsome beard and added,.

"And... whatever the outcome. Wouldn’t we be able to stir up the devil once more based on this hypothesis??"

Unlike the previous content, which was very serious, there was a very deep smile on Emmett's lips. As I had been engrossed in the story just a moment ago, I was unable to accept the situation for a moment, and belatedly realized the meaning of Emmet's words and could not help but be truly amazed..

"You're creating a situation where you know the secret behind the scenes.?"

"In fact, even if there is no such transcendent background, it will play a sufficient role in reducing the morale of the Demon King's army. If the Demon King takes this speculation seriously, even the Soha Shinore he cherishes so much will be seen as an explosion magic marked by twisted magic.."

Fuck my god.

Indeed, a wizard is a wizard..

"I'll pay you a lot for this."

"After all, we communicate well. Work is rewarding."

I thought he was cowardly beating them up with only facts, but it turned out to be Emmet, who was well versed in fair-minded propaganda and fabrication..
