Chapter 168 – Chapter 168 ― Work Goddess (1)
Episode 168 ― Work Goddess (1)
The announcement of the bill following the break is to protect those with skills.
It is a bill that recommends leniency in dealing with the weak and punishes meaningless clashes.
And the law applies to
‘People’ encompassing both demons and humans.
The nobles who attended the meeting at the imperial castle that day experienced amazing things that made them lose their souls throughout the day.
The culmination of these is the 300-year-old cherry tree in the greenhouse. The pink flowers had already been pruned and disappeared, and the leaves of light green grew thickly and took the place of the flowers.
When asked how he could change the land like this, the Count
“Ahaha, in case anyone thinks differently, I’ll tell you in advance, this is an item that can’t be obtained without Your Majesty’s help! Don’t ask to know more, take it quietly and go away.”
In a word, he put a bluff.
There was also a story that humans with a lot of farming experience actually helped Dong Huangryeong with his cultivation.
After that day, the nobles began to look at the human servants working in the castle with a slightly different eye.
Some with eyes of loathing more than ever,
Some with friendly eyes than before.
In such an atmosphere, the lords who received the Astor-crystal powder bestowed by the emperor returned to their territories one by one.
Except for the great lord of the Southern Dark Spirit.
It is her daughter, Erenia’s wedding soon.
So, the great lord decided to stay in Basel’s townhouse with Eleanor.
The moment she saw the Asto powder she received from Roan and the box that sealed it, she frowned in arrogance and swallowed her breath.
Holy power.
Uncomfortable power for undead races such as vampires and liches.
‘More than I thought… The Emperor did a good job of enlisting the three great lords.’
Divine power is not expressed in demons.
In the process of making this Astor powder, or of making something like this sealed box, the power of that human priest was inevitably needed.
It was probably the power of the female priest I saw at the New Year’s festival.
And the three great lords besides me must have known that. The emperor’s aides were moving, but the matter could not have been resolved by the subordinate officials without the great lord knowing.
Because the great lord of Northern Baekryung, who said he worked directly, even worked with that human aide.
It was only natural for a high lord to check other lords.
However, the lords and officials below him are not like that. They are objects that can be subsumed with money or power.
Even so, the Southern Dark Spirit Lord did not receive any information about her divine power.
The lords were strictly cracking down on the surroundings.
This is impossible with only the emperor.
Unless the lords actively strengthen security.
“Have you seen this powder? Eleanor.”
“Yes. Father.”
The Grand Duke of Darkness asked Eleanor, who was sitting next to him.
“Astor powder… Can you find out the source?”
Erenier quietly shook his head.
The powder is black.
Powder that is indistinguishable from soil at first glance.
There is no way to detect it with the naked eye,
You need to focus your attention to find out if there is magic.
Did you say that only a very small amount activates the power of the earth? Unlike other medicinal materials with magical powers, astor powder has the property of absorbing and releasing magic power.
The amount used for Roan’s greenhouse was 10g. It’s literally as big as your fingernails.
You can’t go around trying to find the flow of magical power coming out of such a medium every time.
“Where the hell did you get this? Was it the last time you went to Seohyeolryeong?”
While the Grand Duke of Darkness, who narrowed his eyes, looked back at his memories, Erenia spoke quietly.
“Right after the New Year’s party, I felt a new power blossoming. She attributes the change she must have felt to her father at the last meeting last year. Very…”
Eleanor, who was subconsciously trying to say ‘it was warm’, stopped her and shut her mouth.
When the Archduke looked at his daughter with curious eyes,
Ernear picked her words again.
“… It was a foreign force.”
“Details.”
“It was a power commonly felt by demons, but a power I had never felt from a human. If it’s demonic magic that even I’ve never felt before, no one knows about it. Father.”
“Hmm…”
He nodded slightly and fell silent.
After the Emperor went to West Blood to negotiate an armistice, the Count began to come and go to Basel, and then seeds were sent to Eastern Emperor.
According to the order, it seems reasonable to assume that the asto powder was found in West Blood.
And among the three great lords, if you were to choose the most difficult person in the Grand Duke of Darkness, it would be the West Blood Lord.
He is just as powerful and powerful as the Dark Duke. He has long ruled Seohyeolryeong. Compared to other territories, it was not easy to enlist someone who could get information.
But you have to.
The Grand Duke of Darkness was a great person as a family head, which was rare in the demon society. He was different from other demon nobles, who were usually busy preparing themselves and maintained only light family relationships.
Due to the nature of vampires, blood relatives are directly connected, so blood relatives created by the Grand Duke or the same generation of the Grand Duke were thoroughly protected by the Grand Duke in the Southern Black Spirit.
Even Erenere, who was an illegitimate child born by accident to a human woman, was given the opportunity to be educated and flourished as a wizard.
Of course, Erennier didn’t receive emotional care, but that wasn’t uncommon in this world.
He had long dreamed of becoming the number one man, and he thought that the day to take down the emperor who was living as a fool was not far off. He was always a man who longed for strength and stability. It was ironic that such a person touched the unstable power of darkness.
And the dark power that resided in him and Elenir looked uneasy like a candle flickering in front of the mysterious powder and holy power bestowed by the emperor.
“Eleanor.”
After much thought, the grand duke’s mouth opened.
“Yes. Father.”
“The talisman is very close to the source of our power.”
Ernear nodded his head.
A small pendant is clutched in her hands, which she folds and gathers on her lap.
“Even if you enter the palace in the future, make sure not to leave the body. The imperial castle is different from the southern black spirit castle, which is easy to gather strength.”
“All right.”
“…”
To her daughter who nodded her head,
The Grand Duke, who was about to say something more, frowned to himself.
“… Try not to make foolish mistakes.”
“All right.”
**
A demon’s wedding is not grand.
Most of them thought of marriage as just a union that individuals wished each other would agree, but this is because of the unique culture of the demons, who do not bother to protect or retaliate unless they are immediate family members.
However, when it becomes the emperor’s business, the story changes.
The emperor’s every move is a matter of great gossip and festivities for the people, especially those living in the capital city.
After an exceptionally prosperous winter, the capital of the demons was excited like never before.
A wedding is a big event.
Diobe returns to the castle, amazed by the changed atmosphere of the capital. She was in the most noisy atmosphere since she came to the country of demons.
“Diobe!”
Lisa, whom she met in the hallway, sprinted toward Diove and crossed her arms.
The weight of their soft, heavy breasts pressed against each other’s arms. For women, it’s just a simple, warm touch.
But if you’re a man, your heart will agree.
How would you react to something like this?
Pretend you don’t know anything, if you approach me in a friendly way like this little girl.
Dio-Ve, who blankly took Lisa’s huge breasts with her arms, opened her eyes wide in surprise at the thought.
Lisa, not noticing it, only babbles with delight at Diobe, whom she just happened to meet.
“It’s so nice to see you come to the castle as well! We can see each other often.”
“We are working here. You’re not going around on purpose, are you?”
“Ehehe, what are you looking at me for? Even after seeing this, you’ve now been recognized for your sincerity in the castle, right?”
Proudly, her green-haired girl stuck out her breasts. Even if it wasn’t so, her chest, full of her presence, swayed and swayed for a moment in the wind.
Eyes that go unnoticed.
Diove just laughed at her cute figure, keeping her eyes closed.
Lisa is bright and innocent. Even so, she is a strong-willed and energetic child.
The first time she met her, Her Majesty Grunent caught the eye and soon after, she was called to the castle with such affinity. She seems to have liked Lauca, a picky forest fairy.
“Well, Lisa is trustworthy in that respect. Even if it’s not, she said that Kerus-sama and Seeker-sama said their regards. Seeker is about to do a big cleaning because it’s spring, but he asked if you could come. Although I told you it would probably be difficult.”
“Oh, have you been to town?”
“Huh. The work is not finished yet.”
It’s strange.
Diobe said that when she was first brought here,
And she remembers how she looked and how she felt when the human captives were first brought here.
But now, Lisa is making an expression as if she is happy or nostalgic for Diove’s greetings from her demon tribe.
When she first met D.O.B and helped her with her demon work, Lisa was trembling but hiding her fear, and she was struggling to survive here.
But now, half a year later,
She is living with a more stable and joyful expression than ever before.
Food and goods in the castle are plentiful,
Especially this year’s winter was a better time than ever.
Abundant barn makes people’s heart.
The same Demonic employers and servants all became that much more tolerant of humans.
“Your Majesty is amazing.”
Diobe’s exclamation burst out a little.
Lisa, who managed to hear that, looked at Dio Ve with her round eyes for a moment, then smiled and nodded her head.
“Your Majesty is a great person, right? Now you know, what about Diobe? I thought it was before?”
“… What, I…”
Diove snapped her mouth shut when she was so hot that she almost confessed what she had been through in her east emperor.
It is a precious memory.
A secret smile suddenly appeared on Diobe’s face. Lisa, who was examining her expression, thought about something about her for a moment, and then she made a dissatisfied expression.
“Wait a minute, Diobe, I have something right now. What do you mean? What expression are you making now?”
“Hmm. Lisa. Being a mature adult, even if there is something good, it is the law to keep it inside. There are times when talking too much is not good.”
“Hmm. Is it like that? I learned.”
“Your majesty!”
Lisa bowed deeply in amazement,
Diobe was stunned and could not answer.
Shame came a step too late.
You didn’t even know that His Majesty was listening and you were playing pranks on Lisa!
With her face flushed red, Diove pulled out her apple.
“Song… Looking for…”
“Hmm? It’s nothing to apologize for. That was good advice.”
The way she gave Lisa her advice was quite grown-up, but when she noticed that I had caught on to her, her shyness was so gaping that it was cute.
Is this the beauty of a mature woman?
I don’t know exactly, but Diobe’s age is about the same as or older than mine in her real life.
She already spent 5 years in Evirzio alone,
She got married and she said she went to Lorse and spent five years there.
Considering the period when she became an adult, became a knight, and made a name for herself enough to earn her nickname, Diove’s age is in her early 30s, no matter how small it is.
I am an adult.
Her thoughts led to a collection of her H-scenes seen in the game. Because that is her most intense image of her that she had seen before meeting Dio Be in person. And that image is quite dangerous.
‘Oops.’
It squirms, and it feels like a response will come from below. Roan hurriedly changed the subject.
“Looks like you two are on good terms. It was like that when I saw it in the guild before. Where were you going?”
“Ah, I was on my way to get Mr. Grünent’s new ornament.”
“Decoration?”
“Yes. It’s spring right? Now I want to make the room a bit brighter.”
Lisa replied in an excited voice as if she was happy just thinking about her.
“Then what about you?”
“Finally, to see Your Majesty… I was on my way.”
A faint smile crept across Diobe’s face.
And at that moment,
A message appeared in front of Roan’s eyes.
Indeed, it’s been a while, but I’ve already seen it several times, a familiar message.
[Message: 4th Quest — Duplicate Skills from the Knights of the Realm!]
[Message: Timeout — 29:23:59:59]
[Message: If you do not complete the quest within the time limit, you will be penalized.]
