80 - Episode 47: New information and --

Ellie, who has fallen the center of the Queen Elf Kingdom, returns to the "abyss" basement.

She brings me a documented series of events.

After I finish checking the documents in my office, I praise Ellie with all my heart.

I was impressed with Ellie's work. Not only did she successfully bring the Queen of Elves to her knees, but she was also able to extract information from the Queen about "Master" and the truth.

"--Ugh!　...... No, it's all thanks to the Light God."

Ellie was truly happy to hear my praise, and she humbled herself with a bright red face and a trembling body.

As far as I could ascertain from the information she had brought back, many parts of the "Master" information were identical to the memories of Hardy, the leader of the "White Knights.

Since King Leif VII was Hardy's mother, there must have been a lot of similar information.

However, there was one very interesting piece of information that was confirmed from her memory.

At a meeting held once every four years in the Six Duchies, the leaders of each country secretly exchanged information about the "Master". In attendance were representatives of all but five races (excluding humans).

Most of the meeting's content consisted of information from each country and an explanation of the current situation, with nothing of major substance.

But - here's the important information.

After the ...... secret meeting, when I was leaving the room as a representative of the Queen of the Elven Nation, I heard a faint conversation from behind that said, "We can't dismiss the possibility that someone other than Masta is involved. Lief VII overheard a voice behind him saying, 'I can't dismiss the possibility that it's someone other than Masta, so we should kill him.

Yes. However, it was something that was slightly stuck in the back of the queen's memory, so her memory has already deteriorated and we do not know the details. The "possibility of something other than Masters". Does this mean 'sabu masutaa' or a candidate less than 'masutaa'? Or--"

You mean, maybe there is a completely different kind of being out there other than 'Master'?"

Yes, sir.

Ellie agrees with my response.

I can't dismiss the possibility that it could be something other than "Master. The "non-Master" in "I should kill it," doesn't make sense if it is "Sabumasutaa" or a "Master Candidate.

Sabumasutā" is a being descended from "Master" and there is little need to kill him.

Even if "kill him because he is a candidate for Master," it makes no sense to go to the trouble of saying, "I can't dismiss the possibility that he is other than Master.

The only thing that remains is the third possibility: "There is someone other than Master who is dangerous.

I'm sure we don't know which species mentioned it, do we?

I am sorry. Lief VII just happened to pick up a whisper, and there were a good number of people there, including guards, so it would be difficult. But, except for the elves, whom the queen herself heard but did not understand the meaning, and the beasts, whose information level is probably low, it is certain to be one of the three: dwarves, demons, or dragons (dragonutes).

Leaf VII himself was not interested in listening.

By chance, it was stuck in my memory, and Ellie picked it up, and as a result we got to know.

"Then did REEF VII know anything about 'other dangerous beings besides Master Masutah'?"

No, not even that. The elven species are easily favored by the human race (master), and they have suffered a lot when they have been treated with women in order to take in their blood. And, considering the leakage of information, the women who were chosen were often women who were related to the upper echelons of the Queen Elf Kingdom or were relatives. Because of this, it seems that the closer one was to the upper echelons of the Queen Elf Kingdom, the more resentment there was toward her race.

And more, Ellie continues.

The elves are very proud of their own species and dislike the fact that the "Sabumasutā" and others have human blood in their veins. .... For those reasons, "Master" seems to have come to dislike race (human) even more. ...... I guess he had a sense of inferiority that those who met directly with the "Master" of the race (human) and the royalty of the past would never be able to compete with him. Even though he actively took in blood, he seems to have subconsciously avoided information about the "Master," so I don't know anything about him in detail.

Did the racial (human) discrimination spread to the elven species below because the above became racially (human)-hating?

Putting those considerations aside for the moment, ...... I lean back against the backrest of my office.

I'm not sure if I'm in danger from anyone other than the "master." ......

Could it be that I was almost killed not because I was a "master" candidate, but because I had the potential to be a "nonmaster"?

--To be honest, there is too little information to make a decision.

Even if I think about this and that, if I don't have enough information, it will only be a kind of delusion, so I change my mind.

I check the documents submitted by Ellie and confirm the Queen Elf Kingdom.

After dropping the Queen Elf State, we considered whether or not to colonize it, but it wasn't very profitable ....... What shall we do now ......?"

The light gods are right, it would be easy for us to hold on to the Queen Elf Kingdom as a colony, but we would have to make a decision on how to use it. But there is not much benefit in holding on to it.

If we take the Queen Elf Nation as our colony, the Queen Elf Nation will lose its sovereignty.

The Queen Elf Kingdom is a country with a certain status. It would be economically enriched if we colonize it, but ...... we are not in need of money and there is little reason to pursue the economy.

It would be a shame to choose the option of hosting and colonizing the Elven Queenate just to take advantage of its current status.

Other than that, the Elven Queen State is to the east when viewed from the "Giant Tower".

It is mountainous to the north, ocean to the south, and virgin forest to the west. If the allied forces of each country were to attack the "Giant Tower," the only way to move a large army would be east.

In that case, the Queen Elf Kingdom could be used as a shield to the fullest extent.

Thanks to the confirmation of Queen Leaf's memory, we already know the strength of the Queen Elf Kingdom.

We can destroy them at any time.

Therefore, we can use them as much as we can, and if we can use them only for the good parts and problems arise, we can leave them alone or throw them away in the end.

If we hold on to them as a colony, we have to give the blessings of the God of Light, the blessings that come down from heaven, to the elven species (pricks). They don't need such luxury.

Ellie puffed out her cheeks cutely and indignantly.

Her fondness for the elven species is low.

She is probably that disgusted with the racial (human) discrimination of the elven species.

Speaking of racial (human) discrimination...

As far as I have read, the liberation of the humans who were enslaved in the Queen Elf Kingdom is going well, isn't it?

Yes, sir. About 5,000 people have now been freed and we are helping them to protect and support themselves in the vicinity of the "Giant Tower.

This is also Ellie's dedication to the cause.

He deliberately declared a radical statement of "absolute racial (human) independence.

Thereafter, it was proclaimed and banned as an official law in the Queen Elf Nation.

In order to protect the human slaves, she threatened and intimidated the level 500 elf maids with "snake hellhounds" and dragon guards, and forced them to liberate the human slaves.

They actually freed the human slaves one after another, no questions asked.

The human slave who had accidentally helped us to contact Sasha was also freed from slavery.

Also, we were able to free the human girls who had been bought by the merchants who had been helped by the Mohicans without any worries.

Furthermore, the protected former human slaves were supported so that they could live on their own in the vicinity of the "Giant Tower.

This drew worldwide attention to the Giant Tower.

Countries may dispatch their forces to destroy the "Giant Tower," which upholds "absolute racial independence.

The reason why the human race is currently being oppressed is because it is related to the "Master Tower. If the "master" is only born from the race (human), and if the race (human) further gathers in one place, ....... I don't think countries will sit on their hands about it.

In that case, as Ellie explained to me before, 'how will the other countries show how they deal with it?　If the other five countries were to attack, what level of force would they deploy?　Are there any tricks or trump cards that we don't know about?　It has the merit of being a touchstone in this area.

Worst case scenario, even if the "Giant Tower" is crushed, it will have no effect on the "Nabu".

Of course, we do not intend to lose in vain, and as I explained earlier, we have a very good elf queen nation (shield).

Therefore, I do not intend to lose easily.

With my doubts resolved, I praised Ellie again with open arms.

I've got the ideal revenge for Sasha, I've got the information from "Master" and other sources, I'm one step closer to the truth I need to seek, and I've got more pawns I can use. I have achieved what I set out to do, which is to "use to the fullest for the greatest possible benefit. Thank you so much, Ellie."

No, I've only helped the Light God a little.

I guess she was really happy to be praised by me so openly, and she shakes more than ever with joy from the core of her body.

She bowed deeply, trying her best not to show it.

From behind Ellie's back, she said, "Now I am the Light God's number one, right hand man! I could feel him gut-punching inwardly, "I'm so happy to see you.

I smile and let it go, because I've achieved that much.

(But actually, thanks to Ellie, I feel like I've taken a step or two forward. ......)

While I was lost in emotion, a call came in from May on "SR, telepathic communication.

I twisted my head.

May had been entrusted with the management and internal administration of "The Abyss" for this operation.

So, she is still in the same place, in other words, in the "Natsura". If you want to report, you can just show up in person at .......

I'm sorry, Ellie. I just got a reminder from May.

From Ms. May?"

She too asked, 'Why don't you just show up in person?' He tilted his head.

After saying no to Ellie, I turned my attention back to May.

May, what's wrong?　Did something happen that you can't talk about face to face, like telepathy?"

'No, we used telepathy because we received information to convey to Mr. Wright as soon as possible. As a matter of fact,...... we have found the sister of the lord,......."

Bwah!　Yume has been found!

May's report is startling and chokes her up.

The emotions of joy, astonishment, and bewilderment at the unexpected report blew away all the new questions and information about "Revenge on Sasha" and the treatment of the Queen Elf Nation.
