Never touch Eldmia Egga-Episode 587
[587Tue] Devil, Cry.
Vistal looked at the human race, doubting his nonexistent ears, but staying silent and delaying his answer wasn't a very good choice..
"I really don't understand what you're saying.."
The human snorted as if he were dumbfounded and threw the wand he was holding on the floor. Then, he lifted his sword back and struck it down like he had destroyed the Vistal reliquary..
[[Oh, stop!!]]
Vistal, who once again saw his life being torn apart in real time before his eyes, struggled and shouted, but the human looked at him with an infinitely calm expression and only spoke briefly..
"I just said it. ‘An offer you can’t refuse’."
The answer was decided from the beginning. The reason Vistal couldn't help but roll his eyes at the arrogance of the humans speaking like that was because the situation they were in now was more dangerous than ever..
[[How can I trust you to keep your promise?!!]]
"That's right. With that suspicion in mind, just watch the relic box explode in front of her eyes. Charberos."
"yes?!"
"Know that the moment that thing tries to interfere with me, even just a little bit, you and Ingladiou will be hit hard.."
Ingladiou, who was still trembling next to me as if he was having trouble breathing, said, 'I stayed still.' He expressed his resentment by clearly revealing his feelings, but no one was interested..
To be honest, Vistal was interested, but rather than trying to understand and sympathize with the injustice that Ingladiu felt, he was just observing closely because he could not understand the process of two demons struggling and contemplating on one human..
Of course, observing like that didn't change anything. Double, triple, quadruple shackles were placed on top of the barrier spread by the demon wizard. I was so dumbfounded that I looked at Senihigua and saw that he was casting a spell on himself with such concentration that his eyes were bloodshot..
At this point, it was clear that this human race was not ordinary. In a corner of my head, I was curious to find out how to control the devil like that, but fortunately, I was able to avoid misunderstanding my priorities this time..
[[Yes, I will say it! I'll tell you so stop!]]
Just because it isn't pierced doesn't mean the magic that protects the reliquary will remain safe. The magic techniques that Vistal has devoted his entire life to constructing since he became a lich are being shattered in real time from the moment the human sword touches him. Even if I retrieved it right away, I have no idea how much time it would take to re-engrave the protection spell..
Whatever it was, it was clear that Vistal had no choice. He shouted in panic, and only then did the human sword fall from the wand. At the moment when he unconsciously tried to imitate a sigh of relief, Vistal felt as if his eyes were going dark in response to the human's next question..
"Of course it should be. First question first. Why did the devil's army contact you??"
There are nine reliquaries left, and the first question is what they look like. I couldn't even imagine how serious and important questions were going to be asked after that..
The reliquary is not just a spare life, but a vessel that shares the power of the lich. It doesn't matter when it's doing its job properly, but if it's forcibly destroyed and the power is scattered, the power will be lost as much as the lich's soul and magic contained in the reliquary..
If it was something I could easily retrieve and run away with, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble in the first place. Since he had already eaten one with his eyes open, he somehow strengthened his resolve as a reliquary gunner and chose his words....
"slow."
To the human race, it seemed like it was considered a scheming process. Vistal shouted urgently as he saw the Humans pressing down on the wand with their swords again with all their might..
[[Oh, stop! I was thinking about something else for a moment! The Demon Lord showed up to support my research.!]]
"Who asked me to do Twenty Questions with you? Do you think you'll answer something like that? How do I know what your research is??"
Although he didn't know what the Twenty Questions were, he could clearly understand the Humans' intentions, so Vistal quickly summarized the main points and shouted again..
[[Transcendence and eternal life! A way to change your status or get closer to ascension without your ego or even your soul being transformed! that's my research!!]]
Fortunately, the sword fell from the wand again, but the human's face was full of disbelief, and even his eyebrows were frowned..
"You... failed at the subject you studied all your life and eventually sold your soul to the devil and became a lich.?"
[[what...! The research I did during my lifetime was to open up a new horizon for magic, but due to the limitations of being mortal, I was unable to reach the end! Don't compare it to eternal life!!]]
"Just look at it once. If you talk shit, you'll also have the shitty experience of having your reliquary destroyed. Why is a guy like that studying eternal life??"
At that moment, his anger almost boiled over again, but fortunately, Vistal held back. And I answered as if I was chewing and spitting out my self-esteem, which was collapsing in real time..
[[Because Richie’s life is not enough and is dangerous. For me, mortality is a factor that hinders my focus on research. In that case, I just wanted to overcome this first..]]
◈
The moment I heard it, I couldn't believe my ears, and I turned my head to the side to check Emmett and Carl Kansi's reactions, but it seems like I heard it right. Thanks to you, I felt dumbfounded for the first time in a long time..
That guy thinks immortality is something you can buy at some local market.?
"star crazy..."
The answer seems so absurd and delusional that I'm not even sure if it's true or not. My instincts tell me that that bastard is being sincere, but it makes absolutely no sense.?
"Hey, Eldmia.?"
The person who caught me, telling me to stop talking nonsense and trying to hit me with the wand again, was Charuberos, who was whispering something to Ingladiu during that brief moment..
"How do you know my name?."
He hadn't told me yet, but I wasn't happy with what I found out, so I pointed at the beauty treatment machine and asked, 'Hi.' With a groan, the game is almost halfway through. However, Caruberos did not completely back down and explained why he spoke quickly, pointing to Ingladiou..
"Ingladiou told me! Rather, he said! What that richie says is true.!"
"......what?"
I cast a quick glance at Ingladiou over his shoulder, and even though he was croaking and having trouble breathing, he kept nodding. I am satisfied that I have gained the knowledge that even demon bastards need to breathe, but it is still hard to believe, so I look at Caruberos again, and the guy breaks his neck, nodding his head and continuing..
"Since the research was done in one's own way, there is nothing to do until the results are produced, but it is said that there was quite a bit of success in that area.!"
"So now... Lich, who was even called a third-rate magician by Emmett, is a pioneer who is making real progress in the field of immortality.?"
"Yes?"
"...Huh."
What the devil says, even his life as a mortgage, cannot be true. Ingladiou has nothing to gain by lying like that..
After hearing the bullshit story that a third-rate lich could become an immortal in the future from demons and only then accepting it as the truth, I felt like I was going crazy for a moment at the height of contradiction, but I remembered that I still had a lot of work to do and somehow managed it. I was able to come to my senses.
"good. next question."
I kicked the wand that was at my feet in the direction of the lich trapped in the barrier. 'Are you really giving me that?' Eyes with many intentions are pouring down on me..
Even Emmett and Carl Kansi looked at me in surprise, which made me feel a little uncomfortable, but being the good guy I am, I decided to endure it this time..
"What kind of contact did you have with the Demon King's army? Did you approach first??"
[[...No, they came first. Since I became a lich through many sacrifices, I don't really need to go out and seek additional sacrifices. So I was able to focus on research for a long time without any problems. Then one day, they came to me and said they would invest in my research..]]
When I started 20 Questions, I tried to start by destroying the gloves I had in my arms, but unfortunately, the quack gave me the right answer..
So he obediently took out the glove and threw it under the guy again, and this time the volunteer taxpayer muttered in a low voice, 'Is it really okay to give that away like that?' Then he heard the sound of being hit by Karl Kansi..
"How did they find you?"
[[...I do not know. The demon king who came to visit me at that time, he just said that there was someone who knew me. You may not believe it, but it's true. I, too, had been hiding my existence for at least several decades, so I was trying to figure out how they found out..]]
While pondering something as he looked at the two relic boxes placed at his feet, the quack answered in a much more obedient manner than before..
"Charuberos. throw something."
"yep!"
What Charuberos threw after hearing my command was a necklace. At first I thought it was a pendant, but when I saw it bounce on the ground a couple of times and the decoration opened, it looked like it was a locket..
"next. Who came to see you then??"
[[......]]
The bright red light in the quack's eyelids disappears as he opens his jaw for a moment as he looks at the rocket that has fallen to the floor. I couldn't figure out how the light came in and out, but I didn't like how slow it was to react..
"Charuberos. drop one..."
"Blackout Worker."
As I was about to replace one of the reliquary boxes with ester, the quack, who was still in a bad mood but whose voice was at least human-like instead of the droning voice he had heard just a moment ago, continued to answer..
"The guy introduced himself as a blacksmith from the Special Operations Department.."
