Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 561

[561Tue] Fair and fair

Lord Sor reappeared after the crowd of church members who had entered the city had settled down to some extent and the cheers of the city people had subsided..

"Please take a look! This is the plan I came up with because I couldn't wait until you arrived.!"

He appeared with both hands full of documents, and several more accessories that had not been seen before were added to his body..

It is a delicate situation in many ways to say that he went to his room and added a few more accessories. I think I bought it from the civilians who were following us, so I looked at it for a moment, and Lord Sor, who noticed my gaze, smiled broadly and threw the pile of documents on the table and spoke energetically..

"You are truly a warrior! In that short period of time, he figured out the accessories I was wearing and pinpointed the new addition! You have great insight and observation skills! Among the believers traveling with the denomination, there was someone who had good items, so I purchased them at a reasonable price! How is it?"

Honestly, I was surprised. It's hard to say it was just a guess, because it seemed like he accurately caught the fact that I was looking at jewelry..

I didn't just stare intently, I intentionally diverged my gaze and noticed that. Thanks to that, I was able to be sure that Lord Sor had a lot of cards hidden away..

"It doesn't seem to fit the existing accessories, but... it feels like a strange balance. Not only do you have a unique aesthetic sense, but you also seem to be lucky.."

So, while trying to get over it, I threw in a bait disguised as lip service..

"This makes me so happy! I never thought I'd get the chance to have my aesthetic sense recognized by the warrior.!"

Today was also the time for the magazine skills I had learned while working at the Ogatorp family to shine once again..

In fact, there are differences in the way jewelry is made and the parts that are considered important depending on the country or race, but in this world, there are dwarves who are at the cutting edge of such production technology, so the absolute standard required as a condition for high-value accessories There is a vaguely similar feeling..

"That's too much praise. However... I am concerned that people who were tired from the long trip and were short of money might have sold it at too high a price.."

When I look at those accessories from my perspective, having acquired some of that much knowledge as hard as I can, most of the other items are similar, but the three newly added accessories are nothing more than wedding gifts for commoners..

The pins added to the clothes are at most a dozen silver coins, the rings are about twenty, and the items that are attached to the end of the horn are... about five.?

"ha ha ha! Don't worry. Del Sor, even before becoming a lord, I had an expert knowledge of these precious accessories. This ring was purchased at a very stable price of one gold coin.."

Since there was nothing to be caught during the magic spell, I was wondering how much it would have cost to purchase something that wasn't even a magic tool, so I started to wonder, and Lord Sor continued explaining like a child excited by the mention of his interest..

It seemed as if he was imitating the frivolity of looking away in the face of something serious, so without realizing it, I began to focus and observe his actions..

"These are items that will be sold later when their value doubles or triples. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a few and use them to maintain class.!"

"Indeed, it is an investment. Did you happen to get other accessories that way??"

"of course! This..."

Hahaha, in front of Lord Thor, who laughed and spoke like a rapid fire, ignoring Saint Deoni's axe look, I continued the conversation with a similar smile..

Lord Sor would never even dream of it. He told me that I had noticed that the price he measures when purchasing valuable items is between 1.5x and about 2x..

It's natural. What warrior would systematically learn how to value gems and accessories? Even the nobles who mainly use such items do not directly compare and admire the factors that determine the value of accessories. Most people only notice expensive products because they memorize popular patterns and famous craftsmanship features that are cataloged like catalogues..

Such troublesome and laborious work is always done by the employee, not the employer..

That was me.

"Hmm, hmm. It's great to see that you two can have a strong relationship, but it seems like more important issues remain. Lord Thor? Can I get an explanation of these documents??"

"Oh my, I'm so excited, stop being rude. I'll continue the rest of the story after I tell you all this.."

Pretending to be frivolous and careless.

I didn't know that just one piece of jewelry would give me confidence, but it was a good thing for me anyway..

"First of all, the person at the core of this operation is Baron Macnee, who manages a small fiefdom near us. On the outside, he says he sympathizes with us, but in reality, he is acting as a spy, handing over our information to the Demon King's army.."

The explanation that followed was funny in many ways. It is certainly important enough to be called an operation, but most of its content is simply a continuation of lies and self-display to those suspected of being spies or who are spies..

It's a mystery that seems somehow sloppy, but is actually the best. Lord Sor had an outstanding talent for instilling distrust in content that would normally be overlooked..

Unlike the seemingly sloppy operation, the specific personal details of the targets and the basis for believing them to be spies are very neatly organized, creating a sense of disconnect, and when asked about the details, they pretend to be abusive and say that it is as written..

It's as if he's trying to say that he hasn't done anything and is just talking nonsense about what he found out from his subordinates..

"It is difficult to ask subordinates to do such important work. There is no way they would understand that living off the land is a clever psychological warfare and scheme. If you leave it to me, I will jump right in and achieve complete success.."

They don't even forget to follow it up with comments that disparage people..

I laughed without realizing it, truly admiring the perfect sequence to the point where I thought it might be called a book called The Standard of a Third-Rate Villain, and the two people's eyes turned to me..

"That's a great plan. I think it would be a good idea to leave this operation entirely to Lord Sor, who came up with such a plan in such a short period of time.."

And in my response, the meaning of the gaze changed once..

A saintess who opens her eyes as if she is planning something.

"...yes?"

'what? Lord Sor was momentarily embarrassed, even forgetting about acting, with a look in his eyes that said, ‘Isn’t this what it is?’.

Thanks to this, I had to continue speaking by pretending to look at the documents as if I hadn't noticed that his poker face was broken..

"But a few things are a bit disappointing. Shouldn't this be a big lie??"

"yes? yes? Oh, of course..."

"How about this? Since no one knows what we went through while we were in the beast people's territory, they say we caught a dragon there. They even say that they knew about it and went to catch it. To gain the strength to fight against the devil!"

"Yes, yes? It's a dragon?"

Lord Sor's pupils move urgently back and forth between me and the saintess every second..

"Ha, but deception without any by-products can be easily detected...."

"Would you carelessly show that precious thing? Well, it still raises suspicions, so it is said that the dragon meat was roughly shared with the beastmen. in the spirit of friendship."

Somehow, I kept a smile on my face, but the emotion I felt was, 'Saint, why are you still? 'What should I say?' I am full of this feeling..

"Let's see... Since you've captured the purpose like that, shouldn't defeating Soha Shinor in Raitor be a little more spectacular? It wouldn't be a bad idea to say that he couldn't control the overflowing divine power and instantly reached the realm of a demi-god. Oh, of course, people will ask why I'm so ordinary now, so I shouldn't forget that I overexerted myself back then and lost my strength.."

Of course, the saint did not stop me. She just squeezed her eyes shut and let out a deep sigh..

Although he seemed to find that attitude strange, Lord Sor could not do anything other than applaud my words ignorantly and call them a crappy opinion..

"Wow, you are indeed a hero! The scale is different! Well, even so, wouldn't it be a bit too much for half a body?..."

"Wouldn't you have to do something like that to deceive and intimidate your enemies? While I'm at it, I think it would be good to say that through that experience, I can read parts of the future and the past and act as if I have future vision.."

"Oh, I see! Holy woman! What do you think, lady??"

Lord Sor, who was cheering with such enthusiastic applause that I thought his palms might hurt, urgently turned his arrow towards the saint..

Didn't you go too far? Brake quickly. Anyone can see that the intention was full, but...

"I'll do as the warrior says.."

"Yes! I guess... yeah?!"

The saint was on my side. Thanks to this, I was able to see that Lord Sor completely failed to manage his facial expression for a moment..

To roughly interpret it, a face full of the feeling of 'Have they turned into a couple?' passed by for a very brief moment..

"I'll do as the warrior says.."

But the saint just smiled detachedly and repeated the same words soullessly..

"After all, she is a saint. Then I will only trust Lord Sor. I'm already looking forward to seeing my enemies fooled by my three-inch tongue.."

The smile of Lord Sor, who was in a situation where he couldn't say anything negative because he had taken the yes-man position from the beginning, made me twitch..
