Only I Am Immune to Magic - Only I Am Immune to Magic chapter 126

Episode 126. why are you here

The principle by which obsidian is made is similar to the principle by which mother-of-pearl oysters make pearls.

Obsidian is created in the process of natural mana, a pearl shell, converting a pollutant called magi into a harmless substance.

In that sense, Death Landing had the most optimal environment for generating obsidian.

The earth, which had been polluted for the past thousand years, was being purified by nature, and even by the water of life, so it was impossible to imagine how many obsidian stones would be created.

“I understand now.”

Seeing the obsidian rolling everywhere, Rhaast nodded.

It seemed that he now understood why Aaron coveted the duchy.

No matter how many achievements he made and even received the support of the count, Aaron’s status in the kingdom was still a baron’s bastard.

If it were known that Death Landing was an obsidian field without a title, the greedy nobles would turn their eyes on and attack.

“Do you have any plans?”

Barres asked.

As recapturing Navik was a matter at stake for the pride of the kingdom, it was possible to gain the king’s enormous trust if it succeeded.

However, the opponent is a high elf armed with excellent bow skills, high-level spirit skills, and various magical weapons.

The Death Landing purification opened the way between the Kingdom of Delor and the Great Forest in the South, so it could lead to an all-out war with them if touched incorrectly.

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, an elf for an elf.”

Aaron pointed to the map spread out on the table.

A blue circle marked in the center of the Shadow Forest.

It was the location of the Black Citadel, the home of the Dark Elves.

“… … Did you really see this far and liberate the Dark Elves?”

Raast looked at Aaron with a tired face.

Aaron, not only freeing the Dark Elves, took the risk to invade Zeroth and restore their honor.

At first, I thought it was simply a contact to use as a reinforcement to deal with Azazel, but now it turns out it wasn’t.

Aaron took away their bodies and minds by saving the Dark Elf race itself.

Tens of thousands of monsters who had been fighting for survival with monsters for a thousand years had completely followed his orders.

From what they experienced in the Shadow Forest, they were far stronger, more stealthy, and tenacious than the High Elves.

In particular, the Ghost Battalion, which uses tribal vision to the extreme, slaughtered the enemy in a way that continental people in the present age could not imagine at all.

I dare say that sending an entire battalion of ghosts to the Southern Great Forest could have held the high elves off their feet for ten days.

“This is impossible without having a future poem.”

“Do you really have future poetry?”

Bares and Nesti spoke in succession.

Aaron shook his head.

“I don’t have any future poetry. Just be prepared.”

“No matter how hard it is with just the Dark Elves, right? Are you going to ask for reinforcements from the kingdom?”

Gaos asked.

He admits that the Dark Elves are strong, but even so, the population has decreased too much due to the thousand-year struggle for survival.

Excluding the defenders who will protect the Black Citadel, the number of people allowed for the expedition is only a few thousand.

No matter how strong the party was, they couldn’t recapture Navik with that alone.

“no.”

Aaron shook his head.

If you receive help from the kingdom, even if you succeed in recapturing Navik, it is impossible to receive the title of duke.

The credit for recapturing Navik had to be taken entirely by Aaron and Death Landing.

“You’re going to use Zeros.”

Nesty laughed.

A few days ago, Aaron got a chance to command the entire army of Zeros from the Pope.

I made such an unreasonable request to use it somewhere, but it was all a big picture for this.

“For the Zeros troops to reach Death Landing, they must cross the Kingdom of Dellore. The lords will not open the way for you.”

Barres pointed to the map and said.

The nobles’ obsession with their land is bigger than they thought.

A group of priests pilgrimage to the continent or a small group of knights might be allowed to pass through, but if the Zeros regular army passed by, there was a high possibility that they would try to extort the reward with all sorts of excuses.

“Wait a month.”

Aaron grinned and grabbed the map and obsidian.

“Then everything will be settled.”

* * *

“… … Therefore, in the name of the Goddess, I command you to slaughter the group of evil that spreads their evil spells and bring peace to this land.”

one month after that.

In the central square of Zeros, a large-scale ceremony was held under the leadership of the Pope.

Five Divine Guards, 100 Paladins, and 20,000 combat priests.

and thousands of ordinary priests to serve as rear support.

It had been hundreds of years since Zeroth had raised such a large army, but no one questioned their actions.

After the recent contamination of the Bible by Belial, the priests of Zeroth spread word that a new evil was brewing on the continent.

This was also to raise the reputation of the church that hit the bottom after the incident, but it was more to make a justification for the military convocation.

After a while, the Pope announced that another evil had appeared in the vicinity of Death Landing, and appointed Aaron as the commander to take the lead in punishing the evil.

Aaron is a hero who has already subjugated three demons and a savior recognized by the Bible.

In addition, the pope and other cardinals unanimously obtained the qualification of an honorary cardinal, so it was comparable to the head of the crusade.

“If this is enough, the kingdom nobles will open the way, right?”

After the grand opening ceremony. Aaron said as he prepared to leave.

His status went from being the son of a baron to being the commander of the temple commanding the army of the Goddess in an instant.

“Not just to open it, but to make it look good, will you pave the way?”

Rhaast said with a tired face.

The morale of the army skyrocketed at the news that they were leaving for the holy war with a savior whom the Goddess recognized.

Since they had already put the news in the palace of Delor, no one would dare to stand in their way.

“The intention is good, but I wonder if the goddess will be pleased with it.”

Landis said with a worried face.

He joined Aaron on this journey as the deputy commander to lead the army.

He was grateful to Aaron for saving Zeroth, but to be honest, he was skeptical about this journey.

Zeroth’s army is intended only for the enemies of the Goddess.

However, since I was aiming the blade at a high elf, not a demon or a monster, I couldn’t help but worry.

“The goddess answered that the will of the savior is the way.”

Nesty said.

She remembered the moment in the Heart of Light when the goddess answered Aaron’s question.

He even answered the blasphemous question of whether he could destroy Zeroth, but he wouldn’t be faulted for just raising an army.

“… … All right. Yes.”

Landis nodded meekly.

He also knew the meaning of Nesti’s words because he had looked at the condition of the Bible after the destruction of Belial.

The goddess clearly recognized Aaron as her savior.

Now, to rebel against him could be disrespectful.

“I don’t think I’m a savior. The goddess decided that at will.”

Aaron, who had been quietly listening to the story, shook his head.

Nesty and Landis stared at him startled.

“Aaron.”

“That means… … .”

“So, if you have any complaints or disagreements, speak up anytime. Because I don’t say things like that in a small way.”

Aaron smiled at Landis.

He seemed to have a clear idea of what he was worried about.

Landis stared at him for a moment, then smiled lightly.

“It is.”

“You’re not saying anything.”

Just as the atmosphere was about to warm up, someone splashed cold water on it.

As Gaos drew attention to himself, he pointed at Aaron with his legs crossed.

“Landis. don’t believe that guy He’s a wicked man who plays with people’s lives with a pod the size of a hair. The only thing I did to him… Oops! town!”

“You ignorant bastard. Can’t you even understand the atmosphere?”

Rhaast dragged him out, pouring out his dissatisfaction with Aaron like a rapid-fire cannon.

“… … At some point, that friend lowered his words to me. Was that your original personality?”

Landis made a puzzled expression when he saw Gaos being dragged away.

Aaron smiled bitterly and nodded.

“I hurt my head a little when I was little. Please understand that I do that sometimes.”

* * *

“grandfather.”

After talking with the group.

Aaron went to Barres with a small sack.

“Have you not left yet?”

Barres greeted him with an unwelcome face.

He was preparing separately to return to the territory after his work in Zeroth was over.

It was because if he, as a Margrave, was away for too long, words could come out among the central nobility.

“Why are you being so cold? I feel sorry for my grandson who listens.”

“Stop talking nonsense and talk about business.”

“hahahaha. okay. I want to leave this to you.”

Aaron handed the sack he was carrying to Bares.

“… … Why are you giving this to me?”

Opening the sack, Barres twitched his eyebrows.

What was inside was none other than obsidian.

“Half of you. Bring half of it to the palace.”

“To the palace?”

“huh. It’s a gift to be presented to the king to commemorate the purification of Death Landing. Give it to the aristocrats in the capital while giving it a little kick.”

“What are you up to again?”

“just. I want to watch a fight.”

“Watching a fight?”

“huh.”

Aaron took out an obsidian and stroked it like a precious treasure.

It was only natural that the nobles would roll their eyes when they found out that such things were coming out in piles in Death Landing.

He couldn’t intimidate Aaron, who was even given the title of savior by the cardinals, so he would try all sorts of ways to appease him.

In the meantime, if only this was brought to the king, the king had no choice but to hold Aaron’s hand.

“It must be a poisoned chalice.”

Barres laughed bitterly.

Currently, Aaron’s status and power soared to the point where he directly commanded the army of the Church of Zeroth without knowing that he was sky high.

If he refused this gift, other nobles would surely side with him, which would mean weakening the king’s power.

In the end, the king would have no choice but to accept this gift even though he knew it was a string to fill his neck.

“My grandfather is smart, too.”

Aaron put the obsidian he had been stroking back into the bag and shook his hands.

After all, he had a special eye for painting, probably because he was worn out in an aristocratic society.

“Don’t underestimate the high elves.”

Barres let his words go through one ear and said with a serious face.

The Southern Great Forest is like the home of the High Elves, where the World Tree first took root.

The vegetation there moves on its own under the influence of the World Tree, killing intruders who are hostile to nature.

Even Azazel, who first descended on the continent, conquered the Shadow Forest but not the Great Forest.

“I’m not that reckless either.”

Aaron nodded.

He raised an army only to drive out the high elves who had occupied Navik and stage a show of force in the Great Forest, and he had no intention of engaging in an all-out war with them.

The reason why the pope lent him the army in the first place was because he said it was only for armed demonstrations or local wars.

“It will probably be over before spring, so you… … .”

jump!

I was about to finish the story, but suddenly the closed door opened without knocking and someone rushed in.

“Lord. Your Excellency Count. Forgive the rudeness. An urgent guest has arrived.”

Rhaast said urgently with a stiff face.

“customer?”

Aaron asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

Rhaast nodded and stepped aside.

Then, a tall figure with a hood pressed down deeply entered the room.

He checked to see if anyone was in the room, then shut the door and took off the hood.

“… … Raven?”

Hood’s true identity was Raven, the master of the Shadow Forest and the overlord of the Black Citadel.

“Long time no see. Aaron.”

“Why are you here?”

“The matter is serious, so I came myself. If you send someone else, they may not believe you.”

Raven didn’t know where she was injured, her clothes were torn here and there, and there were wounds on her face that weren’t healed.

“What is it?”

Aaron said, bringing his hand to her wound.

Soon, blue energy spread out and the bruised and torn wounds were completely healed.

Raven closed her eyes for a moment and endured the healing pain before speaking lowly.

“The Black Citadel has been captured.”
