Chapter 726
He is the hero who not only prevented the assassination attempt of Noi Tanissa, the legendary assassin of the Demon Lord, who received help from the Demon Lord who abused the power of the evil god, but also caused his death, and even made the Demon Lord, who tried to sacrifice the entire Levien to the evil god using his body, step down.
The heroic deeds and battles of Eldmia, the warrior of the machine, were sung by the bards with all sorts of seasonings throughout the week he was asleep, so much so that everyone in Levien knew about them.
Now, the warrior of the demon god, who is famous enough to be seen by anyone living in or visiting Levien, but has not been able to show himself due to the aftereffects of the battle with the demon king.
He who had been like that finally opened his eyes.
The story spread throughout the city with surprising speed and accuracy.
Despite having fought such a fierce battle, he was said to be in perfect health. As soon as he woke up, instead of taking care of himself, he was said to be preparing to tour the city. He was said to be preparing to visit his escorts who had died in battle. It didn’t take long for everyone in Levien to learn of this fact through the gossip of the wealthy, who had heard such stories from nowhere and spread them.
Since it had only been a week since the incident occurred within the city, many people were delighted by the news. As is often the case with crowd psychology, even if they were not related to someone, everyone would celebrate together in excitement. So, the fact that the trend spread and gathered together and a festive atmosphere was formed without anyone having to say who would go first also seemed like a very normal result.
“To celebrate the hero’s recovery, all menu items are half price today!”
From children who put their energy into soliciting customers in a way that is so outrageous that anyone who hears it will be impressed.
“Our store is full, so go to the store next door. They are selling it at half price too.”
“What’s going on there? Even if it’s a nice day, there’s no way the landlord would do that.”
“I heard that the Lord Byeong-baek gave me something called a subsidy? He said that it wouldn’t be a loss even if I sold it at half price. I don’t know for sure. I just thought it was something like that.”
There are stories that the lord throws money around so that alcohol and food are cheap all day long.
“Why do you have to go see it? You’re going to be touring the city anyway. Can’t you just stay still and see it?”
“Look at this guy. Think about it carefully. Are there more than one or two people who think like you? Since everyone else will be there anyway, they’ll probably find a suitable spot and have a beer. But what happens when those people pile up? In the end, the crowd will pile up and form a sea of people!”
“···Is that so?”
“Then! Then I should go and take a look faster than anyone else! He’s a human, but he’s a warrior of the Demon God? Who knows, if I get to see him up close, I might even receive a blessing?”
“Now that I hear it... that could be true?”
Even if you just enjoy it, you have to force people to see the warrior, even to the point of holding back from strangers and drinking buddies you meet for the first time.
Only a very small number of people were aware of the fact that a lot of effort was being put into creating a planned atmosphere to disguise it as ordinary, as everyone was just getting into the mood.
Everyone just congratulated the warrior’s well-being and victory as if it were natural and expected.
At first, the atmosphere that seemed like it would end as a one-day affair continued for several days, and the artificially created joy and various stories were spread throughout Itisel by someone else. When even the royal family congratulated the heroic victory in Levien and the safety of the warrior Eldmia through a proclamation, even other territories that had no connection to Levien began to celebrate.
Unlike the people of Levien who celebrated in a spirited manner, this was a thoroughly calculated celebration.
I don’t know how many times it has been regressed because it wasn’t said. I just have a feeling that it has been repeated more times than I can count on my fingers.
It was clear that the variable that the Demon King had never encountered before was a problem that could not be overlooked.
“···Whew, what are we going to do?”
-We have no choice but to wait and see for now.
“Are you going to just leave that kind of existence alone?”
The Demon King’s answer calmed down the dark knight’s emotions, who had almost become angry for the first time because he could not tell what expression the Demon King was making beyond the crystal ball, through which only his voice could be heard.
-Once the flow changes due to my actions, other events occur to deal with the changes that have occurred. Most of the time, the results end up being worse than before, but sometimes that is not the case. It is a kind of singularity. And the singularities that occur in this way are bound to appear again with the same or bigger variables.
“Are those bastards you were just talking about that kind of singularity?”
-···No, not even that. Those guys have their own signs. They were either the people around the erased being or the number two person.···Oh, come to think of it, you said Ogatorp.
“Ogatorp? One of the ten swords of King Itisel? Why him?”
-It wasn’t a house, it was a small house. The girl who cuts through space. That was Ogatorp.
If she’s the daughter of Ekaph Tsin Ogatorp, she’s just a young adult, and she’s going to break the space?
Just as I was about to stick out my tongue wondering what kind of monstrous talent that was, the Demon King’s monologue continued.
– It was common for a changeling count to return to his position as a changeling count. Most of them were puppets, and there were only a few cases where he fought directly on the front lines like now... It wasn’t that there were none at all. But Ogatorp was different. He always turned to us. But I’ve never heard of him achieving such results.
“···That ‘Ogatorp’ is on our side?”
As the commander of the special forces, he knew better than anyone what kind of family the Ogatorp family was, so he couldn’t help but doubt his ears, but the Demon King’s answer was firm.
– So, Ogatorp turned to us after his father’s death in the civil war.
Although no significant results were achieved, there was not a single exception to this, just as the Dark Knight never betrayed the Demon King.
It was like that until now.
A Word from the Author (Author’s Note)
Recently, the Novelpia interface changed a bit, so you can now view reviews as well.
I didn’t know anything because I just write every day, but I found out that someone wrote a review on my writing two years ago.
They say it’s an excellent review system, but I’m personally dumbfounded. 21 years is a long time since I was really into it and desperate for a review, so I definitely kept an eye out for it, no matter how much I was criticized. I still don’t understand why I haven’t seen it before.
Now that I know about it, I think it’s a good system.
