chapter 21
Please take good care of me again – 2
King Wu nodded and answered.
“My name is Idria. certainly.”
The accident seems to stop for a moment.
The reason I didn’t shout as a nurturing here is probably thanks to my experience of rolling and rolling as a mercenary.
Instead, I screamed inwardly.
‘Idria!’
[Idria!]
‘Don’t follow me.’
[Is that important now? Idria isn’t the Demon King I thought it would be, right?]
Idria, the demon king of lies and deception.
I thought for a moment and opened my mouth.
‘Can you see the secrets of the Demon King with your omniscient eyes?’
[okay. Basically, it is possible if the opponent has intelligence.]
‘great. I will use the Eye of the Battery.’
[Yeah, yes.]
Trail used his powers by stuttering to the end.
However.
<Error. The ‘secret between Terskrein and Idria’ is grade A.>
<Available from level 4 of the Eye of the Battery.>
It kind of seemed like it wouldn’t.
The trail looked gloomy, and I comforted him.
‘Don’t be so discouraged. This isn’t the first time I’ve been disappointed.’
[Up right?]
‘By the way, I wonder why the name Idria comes up here. Is it that the Demon King had already descended at this time?’
I implicitly thought that the Demon King had not yet come.
As recorded in history, I heard that the coming of the Demon King and the oracle happen at the same time.
So, the time when the Demon King came down was considered the time when the oracle came down and recognized Caled as a hero.
But Idria already existed.
‘Are you working on something? Well, you are very meticulous even though you have enough strength.’
Is it because my expression is so stiff?
Xenia asked with a cautious face at the same time.
“Maid, why are you like this? Do you know the name?”
“It’s a very famous name.”
“Famous? It’s the first name I’ve ever heard, even I, who is familiar with all kinds of bizarre events on the continent.”
It meant becoming famous in a few years.
I just shrugged and asked Ters.
“Are you hiding anything more?”
“Huh. Yeah, what are you going to hide that happened like this? Actually, I had a woman I loved. But she fell into the eyes of the lord and betrothed him…”
“There is none. i get it.”
“Come on, wait! Listen to the end!”
“I’m not curious.”
“Are you not wondering why I killed Soyoung-ju and plotted a rebellion?”
“uh. That’s a matter for the lord to interrogate and reveal.”
“Well then, why did you make me like this? You didn’t have a grudge against me!”
I tilted my head.
“Did I ever say I had a grudge?”
“Boo, obviously, to keep the will of a colleague.”
“That doesn’t mean there is a grudge. I kept her will. You’ve done your best with it.”
In the first place, there was no such colleague.
I quickly came out of prison.
Neryl and Xenia hurriedly follow.
asked Neryl.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever heard the name Idria. What the hell is he doing?”
“I don’t need to know yet. You’ll find out sooner or later if you pretend to be a hero anyway.”
“He’s a man with a lot of secrets.”
“Isn’t it attractive?”
“If you don’t speak.”
Neryl shook her head nervously.
Xenia asked with a serious thought on her face.
“What are you going to do now?”
“The business in Rio’s estate is over. I’m going to move on to the next place soon.”
“……”
“why? Will you go with me?”
Xenia was trying to answer something, but she kept her mouth shut.
It seems he hasn’t made up his mind yet.
There was no need to rush it, I just headed towards the gate of the territory.
That was then.
“oh! There you are.”
“It’s Maid. Maid, the immortal swordsman!”
“for a moment. Do you think you just want to leave?”
“wait for me. Wait!”
A large number of people began to gather around us.
Their eyes were filled with deep gratitude and longing.
Even I, who went through everything before and after childbirth, could not hide my embarrassment at this situation.
In an instant, I was surrounded by a huge crowd and I was confused, and a person who seemed to be a representative of them came forward one step.
“Made. Please forgive us.”
“I haven’t done anything forgivable.”
“King Mu… No, that son of Tersu deceived us and killed the beloved Soyoung Lord. He even killed my subordinates to cover it up.”
“……”
“The three days after Teres’ arrest, we are all full of vitality. Obviously, the reason we were lazy over the past years was to let So Yeong-ju’s soul know his bitterness.”
Did you come to that conclusion?
Well, for me, it was a conclusion to be grateful for.
I nodded my head with a look of deep sympathy.
“Surely it will.”
“Now we will all be diligent. The yield of the manor will also increase, and it will become a lively manor suitable for its size. All of this is thanks to Maid.”
“……”
“Hey. Bring what you have prepared.”
When the representative spoke to the person next to him, he whined and dragged a sack the size of my body.
From the squeaking sound inside, it was clear that it was a money sack.
I cried out involuntarily.
‘Oh. You should have that!’
[calm down.]
‘Let this go. Let go when you say something nice.’
[I never caught it. Anyway, think about it before you get ripped off. Which one would be more helpful to your reputation?]
‘ok?’
[Is the key to fame the greatest happiness of the greatest number? Can you see that amount? If you’ve already gathered that much from a poor estate, you’ve been scratching the floor.]
big
I have never had more conflicts than this in my life.
But in the end, I had to admit that Trail was right.
Even if I get a bag of money here, my reputation will rise.
But if you show a more ‘brave’ side…
I finished my decision with tears in my eyes.
“I can’t take this.”
At my words, Neryl smiled knowingly.
On the other hand, Xenia looked at me with an expression that asked what kind of dragon you were eating grass.
“Made. Please accept our sincerity.”
“no. I am well aware of the situation in Rio. It’s a winter where I can’t even if I want to work right now.”
“……”
“Other estates would somehow survive the summer and autumn with food stockpiled, but you probably didn’t have much of a harvest like that. He was so lazy… Because So Young-ju had a hard time because of his bitterness.”
Representatives and Young Ji-min bring tears to their eyes.
I clicked my tongue and continued.
“At that time, isn’t the very money you’re going to give me your lifeline? You have to buy food from the merchants who go to and from the territory to pay for it.”
“Look. Madame. I hope you have thought of us up to that point.”
“This is the hometown of my best friend. It’s like my hometown.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Live healthy up to So Young-joo’s share. That is what I want from you.”
As I said that, suddenly the surroundings became a sea of wailing.
“We spoke so harshly.”
“He’s also a great guy. Maid is a hero.”
“More than a hero! Maybe it’s the hero of the legend.”
“Yeah, sure. Maid-sama is a hero!”
That was then.
<Tiring! You have earned 1000 Fame Points.>
<Required Fame Points to the next level: 2,760/20,000>
<Your name will be resounding in the future Rio estates.>
<Total reputation points to be acquired in this case: 5,000>
<Your name is ringing in Drucker’s estate. (All points have been collected!)>
<Your name is ringing in the Quark estate. (All points have been collected!)>
<Neryl Slaine thinks of you as a ‘perfect man’.>
<Xenia Said thinks of you as ‘a person stronger than your father’.>
……
ugh. Hmmm.
[Munmu is a perfect man. Is it true that he appreciated the sly tricks to raise his reputation now?]
‘Neril had eyes to see more than he thought. I didn’t know that before the return.’
[……]
‘By the way, Zenia thinks of me like that.’
Naturally, Xenia is stronger than her father Dame.
Xenia would know that too.
But regardless of her abilities, in her thinking, her father would still be the strongest and best in the world.
But you think I’m stronger than Dame?
‘Now if you ask me to become a colleague again.’
I think the answer will be different from before.
Just as he had rescued the wagon and had just crossed the borders of Rio, Neryl tickled and bounced something as if he had suddenly remembered it.
widely.
I got it, it’s a jewel of desolation.
“It’s all fixed.”
“really? Didn’t you just get something similar in shape?”
“Are you giving compliments in a very strange way?”
“It’s funny because it is. I can’t see any marks that were cut in two.”
“Don’t worry, it’s genuine. How else are you going to use it?”
Well.
Once I got it because it was a precious item, I didn’t have a specific plan to use it like this or that.
Seeing my expression, Neril sighed lightly.
“I knew it. Let’s take it first. It was Shimbo.”
“right.”
“Originally it was a energizing gem, but I improved it a bit while repairing it.”
“yes?”
“It contains the vitality of the people of Rio that Teresu has gathered for 20 years. That’s great energy. Isn’t it a waste to just rot?”
Neryl continued with the tone that it was nothing.
“So we changed it to be able to emit as well as absorb.”
“Release? ah.”
“yes. It can be a semi-infinite energy source. People’s energy is originally a set of possibilities that can be transformed into anything.”
“Is it an amplifier?”
“…you’re right, but it sounds kind of cheap when you say it like that.”
Nerel gave him a slightly sullen expression.
I smiled softly and said.
“Thank you so much, Neryl.”
“Hmmm.”
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known how to use this. No, I wouldn’t have been able to get it in the first place.”
“done.”
“I will definitely repay you someday. If I become a hero.”
“Because it’s done. I am so…”
She only licked her lips.
I can’t even imagine Neryl, but I can read what he’s saying just by looking at the movements of my lips.
‘I am weak at being so grateful, la.’
[Do this often. He is hungry for gratitude.]
‘Hey, because I’ve only heard curses for the rest of my life. Well, even if it’s not, thank you a hundred times for this job.’
I wrapped the jewel in a cloth and carefully put it in my arms.
Then I heard Jenia’s voice.
“Are you really going to have it?”
“Yes, yes.”
“eww. But that is the core of the Demon King of Desolation. It should be kept in our Light Paladins.”
“Please take a look. Even if you retrieve it now, if I become a hero anyway, I will have no choice but to give it back. In the name of a hero, if you ask me to put it out to oppose the Demon King.”
“…Is the Demon King really coming?”
Xenia asks in a cautious voice.
I’m sorry, but the Demon King has already descended.
I thought of Idria, who had given Ters the Jewel of Desolation and was still plotting some sort of conspiracy somewhere on the continent.
“Certainly.”
“I don’t know what you believe and are so sure… If that’s true, it will be the fifth advent of the Demon King in the history of the continent. I, and you, were born in a time of misfortune.”
“It’s up to you to think.”
“yes?”
“I will become a hero, and with Neril here, Zenia-san will become a member of the hero’s party… that is, a hero.”
“……”
“And we will work together to defeat the Demon King. Like the heroes of the past four times, Zenia-san’s name will remain in the history books.”
Xenia’s eyes twinkle.
“I don’t like that kind of honor.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t. After all, because of Zenia-san’s personality, when the Demon King comes, he will surely stand in the vanguard and fight against it. Even if you haven’t met me.”
“……”
“But, isn’t this how we met before? Now, I’d like to hear your answer. Would you like to join us?”
Neryl crossed his legs with a slightly dissatisfied expression, but didn’t miss any interruptions.
A person who can wield Agril and build a barrier large enough to fill the entire crowd.
A person who can cleanly resurrect Ters from the moment he died.
It is not Neril, who knows how much power it will be if such talented people are together.
The problem is with Xenia.
‘When Xenia first met Neril before the return.’
He said he’d leave if you put that girl in the party.
How will it come out this time?
