Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 721

The assassination attempt at the Levien Conference, which the Demon King attempted by mobilizing the infamous Master-level assassin Noi Tanissa of the Demon Territory, has failed.

Beyond simple assassination, it left behind clear evidence that the evil spirit was once again emerging. The empire announced that it would once again prepare a place to preach the threat of the Demon King’s army to various kingdoms that had remained silent until now.

The worst situation was averted thanks to the efforts of the two warriors, Mashin Epaga and Light Ete, but the remnants still remain in Levien, and priests from various denominations are gathering to investigate. In the meantime, the meeting was successfully concluded.

Some criticized that continuing the talks in such an unprecedented situation was irresponsible, but most accepted it as a sign that Itisel and the Empire had confidence in their own capabilities and had made sufficient preparations.

“We didn’t send a representative, and the parties were there, so who could say anything?”

Siegfried, who was looking through documents containing distorted rumors, real information, and exaggerated feats, muttered with laughter.

“I really wonder what’s going on in Ma-pak’s head at times like this. Isn’t he actually not of royal blood but rather a dragon from somewhere? Why, we had some of those clichés in our past lives too?”

Siegfried was joking around and making jokes, but he was also half sincere. It goes without saying that the aftermath of the series of events was enormous, given the scale of the conference held in Levien.

If there were no warriors, if there was a lack of preparation,

Just making that assumption would have resulted in a terrible outcome. If it had been a normal war, it wouldn’t have ended with anyone being fired, but the lord’s head would have been cut off. Originally, this was the way to end discontent after giving someone a gun, no matter how powerful the opponent was.

The public doesn’t care whether the opponent is the Demon King or the Master. What matters is that their safe daily life is threatened. However, the situation has completely reversed due to the attitudes of Esmue and Itisel VII, who have been dismissing the attack as if it were nothing.

There was a raid. But what was it?

whatever·

You say the inner wall wasn’t breached? That was the expected result. You anticipated the situation and deployed enough manpower to block it, and you actually blocked it. What’s the problem? If you had deployed the outer wall first, wouldn’t you not know that there would be a hole in the defense due to a lack of manpower?

Wasn’t there a threat to the safety of the elements? This is a battlefield, so how can it be absolutely safe? Even in the Western Kingdom area, news of poisoning spreads every day, and people are dying from poison put in by assassins who aren’t even Auror users. Do you have the right to say that we were negligent in our preparations when we blocked a master-level invasion?

So we’ve been saying so many times that the Demon King is dangerous. When we warned him, he ignored us, and then he prepared and blocked us like ‘always’, and then he saw it and was shocked and opened his mouth? Do you think this is a loss? Even the evil god has returned, so if we only suffered this much damage, it’s a heroic victory?

If you can refute it, refute it. If it’s just a bunch of nonsense, you’ll be treated as a puppet of the Demon King’s army and sent to the guillotine or it’s war.

“Anyway, they say that politicians are shameless no matter where they go. But it’s comfortable because we’re on the same side. If he hadn’t taken action in advance, we would have been the ones getting beaten up.”

The content that should have been included in an official letter was written a little less brazenly and rudely, but the Empire and the Kingdom’s rebuttals were not that different from that. Even Siegfried, who had been living with a wall built around such documents, was shocked, so it goes without saying that the people who actually received the documents were shocked.

This was even more so because it was a rebuttal based on facts, not incitement or fabrication.

Who would dare measure and hypothesize the collateral damage caused by the appearance of a master-level assassin with a hint of the Demon King and the resulting sanctuary of evil spirits, and refute the wrong response of Itisel and Esnua?

If you touch it wrongly, you will be branded as a public enemy of the continent and there is even a possibility that you will be branded as a follower of the evil spirit, so even if you are not in your right mind, you should not touch it unless you are a suicidal person.

In this way, the warriors of Ephaga and Ete once again achieved feats worthy of their names.

“Ah, that’s what hyung asked for. I was hoping that a dragon would come out, even if it was salty, but unfortunately it didn’t. A strange giant came out.”

Contrary to the explanation he hastily added because he didn’t want to hear people say that he had accomplished anything when all he did was clean up shit, Siegfried at the time did not expect a dragon to appear.

Rather, since no one knew what would happen if something like that came out in the middle of the city, I prayed that it wasn’t a dragon or a suicide bomber. Whether that prayer got through or not, both cases were actually avoidable…

“Well, honestly, it wasn’t easy. I don’t know what it would have been like if it were you, hyung.”

···That doesn’t mean the result was good.·

The giant, who had lost control but not drastically reduced the remaining evil spirit’s energy, was so large and strong that it could easily break down the outer walls of Levien.

Just walking caused property damage and the giant’s blood contaminated the area. If the spirit mage Serta had not been able to summon a spirit of similar size, simply walking would have caused massive damage to Levien.

The inside story of the incident known to the world as ‘well-blocked’ was like this.

It is true that the damage has been reduced, but the price of bringing a fragment of the Demon King into the city is not small. Even at this moment, priests who have flocked from various cities are running around isolating contaminated areas, treating patients, and purifying the sanctuary of the evil god. Serta, who has excessively displayed the power of the spirit, is suffering from a high fever and cannot even move properly.

In fact, just because he’s Siegfried doesn’t mean he’s in good condition.

He too was exhausted from the decisive battle with the giant. The fight was not easy, as he had unintentionally used up two extra healing orbs, so Teneaci and his party were also having a hard time getting out of bed.

Nevertheless, Siegfried went to see Eldmia and chatted with her.

“Still, I tried my best. At this level, even if my brother wakes up, he won’t be disappointed.”

Unlike other people who were conscious and able to move, Eldmia had not been able to get up for over a week.

Siegfried, who placed the documents he was holding on the table, sighed deeply as he looked at Eldmia, who seemed to be sleeping comfortably, and then got up from his seat.

Although he said he was not in good health, it was uncomfortable to see him lying around like a patient instead of laughing and chatting happily after solving such a big case. Siegfried’s shoulders slumped involuntarily, but he quickly pulled himself together. He straightened his back, deactivated the soundproofing spell he had put in place, and quietly left the room.

“Is the story over?”

As the days continued by the saints of the three religious orders (the Holy Assembly of the Imperial Church of the Demon Church and the Order of the Holy Light) declaring that there were no problems, Siegfried, who had been asking for understanding and having a private time, came out, and Asili, who was looking out the window while holding Laika, responded to the sound of the door opening and spoke to him.

While many people were restless with worry over Eldmia, who had not been able to wake up for several days, Asili remained calm.

According to his claim, he is now used to it… From Siegfried’s perspective, it is a very calm reaction that seems to be possible because it is mixed with a certain amount of the elven sensibility.

“Yeah, well… it probably doesn’t mean anything, but…”

But thanks to that, he was the most comfortable person to talk to these past few days.

Because most of the other people were standing upright.

“Has anyone come and gone in the meantime?”

As Siegfried asked her question, unable to hear any outside sounds due to the soundproofing magic she had used to prevent the story related to her previous life from leaking out, Asili smiled slightly and put Laika down. Then, taking advantage of Siegfried’s gaze being drawn to Laika, who was naturally heading into the room, Asili gave him a desperate answer.

“I came and went”

“Ah… how many people…?”

“Everything”

“ha···”

Even without asking who they were, Siegfried was able to identify the visitors based solely on Asili’s answers.

From the Marquis Levien, the Count of Ogatorp, the Saint of the Masin Church, to the little Saint of the Order of the Holy Light.

Siegfried said goodbye to Asili and left the hallway, thinking that it might be better to quietly return to bed and rest today since there were only four people who had taken the time to visit.

Of course, I couldn’t really stay in the room.

Because there was still a lot of cleanup work that the awake warrior had to do.
