Chapter 247 – Chapter 247 ― More Is Not Always Better (1)
Episode 247 ― More is not always better (1)
Although he was momentarily taken aback by the news from Sprouse, Roan first turned his eyes to the two beasts in front of him.
“I want you to calm down a bit. I will give you a guest room, so you can stay at ease today.”
“Thank you. Your majesty.”
Instead of Yurtellia, who couldn’t say anything because she was sobbing, the Count thanked her. Instead of answering, Roan held their hands. The blade cuts deeply, and even now blood oozes from their hands.
Concentrate your consciousness and use the newly learned ‘star’s touch’.
The demons are unfamiliar with divine power, but one side has lived in the human world and has received divine magic or used potions from time to time, and the other side has been wrestling with a crystal full of divine power for several months.
Thanks to this, the two who received Roan’s divine power accepted Roan’s power with their eyes wide open.
It was like that when I first saw how fast the cuts healed.
However, the divine power, which was expected to fade soon, did not disappear, but rather began to emit a greater light, and the eyes of the two beastmen widened.
“Uh?”
“Wait, Your Majesty, why does this continue…”
The place where the light rides up is none other than Urtellia’s wrist.
Because the cuts were small, the size of the light was also small.
However, the light that rode up on Urutellia’s wrist began to shine brighter. Even as Yurtalia panicked, she rolled up her sleeves as if she didn’t want to disturb the light.
The count’s expression contorted with anguish at the sight of the ugly marks on her arms. However, the light soon shone on Yurteria’s wrist and her forearm.
The scars are gone.
“… Uh?”
The light that had finished its work was slowly dissipating.
Yurtelia let out a dull sound that was unlikely to be made by a wizard and pulled up the hem of her clothes.
Her arm is full of scars, but the part that Light caressed is clean as if nothing had happened.
The Count also looked into my hands. Her palm, which had been cut with her knife, also remained white again.
“What’s that… ?”
“Your Majesty, what have you been doing?”
Both of them questioned him at the same time, but Roan shrugged his shoulders lightly without showing any signs of surprise.
“It is magic.”
“Sacred magic cannot heal scars. Your majesty.”
Said Urtellia, vigorously wiping the marks of her tears. Divine magic can heal wounds, but it cannot undo the scars that have already healed and settled. Curiosity overcame emotion again.
“I’ve never seen such divine magic before. How is this possible?”
“I know your majesty’s magic is special, but this is amazing! Ahaha, I need to call Helen and talk to her!”
The two wizards suddenly returned to reality.
You may shed tears at the thrilling reunion, but it’s still nice to see them as usual. A small smile appeared on Ron’s face.
“It was the first time I knew Jim could do something like this. Observation or research can be done later, so take a break for today. Now that I can erase the scars, Urtellia, I can erase other marks later if you want.”
Urtellia nodded and held her count’s hand tightly. Countess Bertellia, as if bothered by the ‘other marks’ Roan had spoken of, cast her concerned glances at her brother, but only for a moment.
Anyway, the important thing is that now the two met again.
Roan had time to think about the message that Grunent had delivered while having the chief secretary send the two to another room and having an attendant tidy up the messy office.
First of all, check the skills you got from Urutellia.
[Judgment Lv3
Strong judgment and belief make strong
The self-righteousness and willingness felt relative to the target adds strength to the caster’s actions.
It’s not easy to notice because it’s deeply hidden, but the stronger the faith, the stronger the power, and it adds to both physical and magical powers]
In summary, it is a buff that strengthens both sword and magic.
Roan made a ‘light’ on his fingertips as a test.
“… Awesome.”
I thought of a light the size of a candle that I usually use, but what appeared swaying was a light source the size of a baseball. He summoned without thinking and got the right eye attack.
“I have to apply it to other things, but… Even if this is not enough, isn’t it two or three times stronger?”
If it was such a powerful buff, you and I would have tried to use it, but it has never been found.
I think the hint is that it’s not easy to notice because it’s deeply hidden.
It might be a condition to have a skill in the field of finding out secrets, such as ‘detection’ or ‘detection’. The hero in the game didn’t have that type of skill, and I have it.
“I’m leaving, Your Majesty.”
In the meantime, the servant who had cleaned the office left the room. Roan closed the skill window in front of him. The next thing to decide in earnest is Sprouse’s business.
I had warned Count Hilfe to beware of his entourage, but I had no idea that this would actually happen, or even so quickly.
In the first place, it’s a ‘story in the game’. The current situation is very different from that in the game. This is because there is no Grünent or Helen in Merde, which makes the king wary of the Count right away.
Why did this happen?
Roan’s eyes narrowed with concern.
Even if Bishop Sermo has political clout, too much of the world goes back to money.
If you want to take money from Evirgio’s treasury, you must exchange it for real money or Arteala’s currency. It’s a hassle. In that respect, Count Hilpe is a useful hand.
In addition, whether Count Hilpe wants it or not, the political power he has is also enormous. There are many advantages, and things get even more complicated if he confides about Sermo.
The Count also decided to invest his future in his Demon Emperor. That’s why Roan has a responsibility to protect him.
If there was Anmut, he would have done the work instead, but Anmut left with Fiora and Yurteria is here.
After thinking, Roan made a decision.
“Tequil.”
“Yes. Your majesty.”
“Call the Empress.”
“All right.”
Around this time, it was near the end of the meeting between Erenier, Schikvienna, and Liron about living in the castle.
However, Eleanor appeared later than expected.
“Roan, what happened all of a sudden?♡”
The smell of herbs wafted from her clothes.
The dress was also plain, not swollen, not the flashy one usually worn by empresses. There is also a slight trace of magic power.
“I must have been in the lab.”
“Ah, yes… There’s something I’d like to find out about these days.”
Ernear evaded her words and gave her usual gentle smile.
“What happened all of a sudden at this hour? He asked me to come to the office.”
“I think I have to tell you something important.”
Roan, who sat Elenia down, paused for a while before starting to talk. With the help of ‘will’ from his slightly clenched fist.
“I think I will have to visit the land of humans for a while.”
In the sudden haste, Erenia opened her eyes wide. Her expression quickly returned, but even after thinking about it for a moment, Erenia blinked her eyes a few times, unable to understand why the emperor had to go to a human country.
“Did Arteala invite you by any chance?”
“No. I think we should go to Merde.”
“… Merde?!”
Eventually, the softness that covered her face disappeared, revealing a coldness like thin ice.
“There is an enemy country. Why? With who? How?”
She said, “I was told that in the land of men they were trying to harm me.”
Eleanor’s eyes sharpened.
“How dare you deal with human subjects… Roan? How can you harm the emperor here in Basel?”
“They tried to send an assassin.”
“Under.”
Erenia snorted.
“She was fortunate enough to coax the man in charge of the job,” She said. But she’s also doing multiple things because she thinks she needs to address the underlying issues. So she has had to vacate her last name several times now.”
“That’s why she sometimes goes out of the castle.”
Roan nodded his head.
“There are some humans who help me. I heard that one of them was in trouble. I am going to go to Merde to solve the problem.”
And Roan looked straight into Eleanor’s eyes.
“As you know, I intend to absorb the humans there. It is my responsibility to look out for the people who follow my opinion in Merde, and it is also necessary to proceed comfortably in the future. There is also a need to directly check and resolve the problem.”
“Merde… I’m going directly… ?”
Erenia asked several questions with an absurd expression.
“The face… , Horns, what do you do?”
“I got a transformation tool. I can cover it for a few hours.”
“… My God, to establish such great magic…”
It’s hard, but it’s possible.
As a sorceress, she opened her mouth for a moment, but she nodded her head as if she had convinced herself.
“You’re not going alone, are you?”
“Hmm. There was Helen, a human, and an acquaintance who was Merde’s mercenary. If necessary, Grünent will also accompany you.”
“Where are you going Merde? How do you move?”
“It’s hard to tell you the details yet, but it’s easy to move to Merde if you use the power of the divine power I have. It is using traces of the past.”
“… What?”
It took quite a long thought before revealing the ruins to Erenier.
But, she thought, if she got married anyway, she’d have to come out sometime. The more frequent the trips to Merde, the more explanations will be needed after all.
Fortunately, Ernear nodded her head despite Roan’s lack of explanation.
She clearly knows that her Roan is wary of her own father. And as he feared, Elenier could not disobey most of the Grand Duke’s words. After all, that’s why I’m immersed in magic experiments right now.
If so, it is better not to know.
“Roan’s ability is amazing even thinking about it again. Okay. He’s going to Merde.”
Eleanor’s expression looked a bit sad, but she tried to smile.
“Thank you for telling me this important story.”
And Roan quietly stroked Erenia’s cheek.
“Isn’t that my companion? I will go into more detail as time goes on. Will you wait until then?”
A blush appeared on Erenia’s cheeks.
Ah.
His consolation is so kind and heartbreaking.
“Huh. You don’t have to worry about Roan’s safety, right?”
“Because no one is stronger than me.”
Roan smiled mischievously. Ernear looked at her as if she was loving it, but in fact, Ernear felt like her head was going to explode.
[Look at this. In the end, I don’t tell you everything.]
There was a slight wrinkle between Erenia’s forehead.
Her husband, who maintains an uncomfortable relationship with the Grand Duke of Darkness, told her many of her grave secrets, and Erenia was sufficiently moved. It wouldn’t be strange to hear the story of her entering into the grand duke at any time.
Roan showed such faith.
And if it causes difficulties, his ability to overcome them.
Erennier was proud enough of that, but
The sound he heard broke his heart.
[Besides, in the end, even if I go to such a dangerous place, I will not be with you. Even though I know what a great wizard you are. What kind of girls will I wear this time?]
“…”
Quiet.
I almost got her words out of her mouth.
Elenir knows that this sound cannot be heard by others. But when I focus on the sound, I unknowingly bring out the answer.
If that sound touches the painful part in Erenia’s heart, the reason that controls my body shrinks even more.
There were many human women around Roan.
Was it for this reason that he had a human?
After all, no matter how much magic I learn, am I useless to him?
Erenia lightly bit her lip.
Knowing that this look only worried Roan, she quickly tried to hide her distraught.
Erenia tried to hide her hard face for a moment and show her smile to her Roan, but her Roan stared at her as if she noticed something in her.
