Chapter 347 – Checking Around ElkayChapter 347 – Checking Around Elkay
I petted Femm as Shiggy flew down and petted Femm too.
The maid did as well.
Femm was cute, after all.
We left the palace to the maid and went back to Mulg.
Then we went to the death temple, got Chel, and went to Elkay.
Of course, Femm and Shiggy were with me too.
「Welcome back, old man!」
「Wewcome!」
Tom and Kay were there to greet us.
「I’m back.」
「ryaa ryaa」
Shiggy was happy to be back too.
「A big doggie!」
Kay was really happy to meet Femm.
「Wow, can I touch your dog?」
「Sure.」
「Yay!」
Tom and Kay were so happy they grabbed and hugged Femm.
Femm just stood there and took it. Femm’s tail wagged slowly.
Then Chel looked over at the kids, a bit lonely,
「PigGi」
It said, and shook.
Kay, looked over, interested,
「What’s that?」
「It’s Chelnobok, a slime.」
「Can I touch it?」
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt「Sure.」
So she touched Chel.
「Wow, it’s jiggling.」
「Whoaaa」
The kids looked impressed at Chel too.
「PigGgi PIggi」
And Chel also looked happy.
On the other hand, Timi was petting Shiggy happily.
I guess Timi had played with the kids already too.
So Leah, Leo, Steff, and Tom were at the house, as well as with Vi-Vi.
「Master! Welcome back!」
「I’m back.」
Leah came up to me a bit cautiously.
「Um!!」
「What is it?」
「My brother...what will happen to him?」
「We haven’t decided.」
「I see...」
Leo looked at me seriously and said,
「I’m prepared for it. Even being hypnotized...」
He had caused all the Jack Frosts in Cruz’ realm to form. There was no doubt about it.
After that, at the Demon Lord’s command, he had helped him.
Even though, I think it wouldn’t be a serious punishment.
The agent had been turned into a zombie, and that was much more serious.
Leo’s crime was at the bottom of the stack right now.
He was hypnotized, but you also had look at it from the victim’s side as well.
It was hard to find the right punishment. He might even get away with a slap on the wrist.
That’s what I expected at least, but it might be that he’s heavily punished.
「Well, we’ll find out sooner or later. I don’t think Cruz will give that much of a punishment.」
「I’m...happy to hear that.」
After that, we walked around Elkay proper.
I put on my wolf mask as well.
I was with Femm, Chel, Shiggy, and Steff.
Shel was riding on Femm’s back.
「Femm, Chel, check if there are any zombies around.」
『Understood.』
『Okay.』
We had to be sure.
Moofy had noticed there were zombies around there.
So we searched every part of Elkay.
Some thugs had attacked us here before, so we had to be sure.
『I can smell dead bodies!』
『Let’s see.』
We ran to where Chel was pointing.
There was a man in black in front of a house.
It was a huge, old house. There were high walls around it.
『Zombie found!』
You could kill the smell, but not the sense that they were around.
『Chel. Are there zombies inside.』
『Smell them.』
Chel answered, so I grabbed the guy in black’s arm and lifted him.
He struggled, but I didn’t care.I just dodged his punches.
I went into the house with him over my head.
There were tons of zombies. Mostly zombie beasts.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm「So you were using THESE to attack people on the streets.」
Steff said, and she was right.
There was a small path connecting the house to the outside.
This is where they left and attacked people, mostly adventurers.
「Chel, go ahead.」
『Sure.』
Chel shook. The spirit left the zombies and they all fell to the ground.
Chel had quite the power over the undead.
「Thanks Chel.」
「PIGgi」
I also laid the motionless man in black on the ground.
「They need a proper funeral.」
After that, we walked around some more and returned to Tom’s place.
Cruz, Luka, Yureena, and Moofy had come to join us.
「So, what happened?」
「They’re trying to find a new agent to send out here.」
「And they will send soldiers out here as well!」
The agent would take some time, but currently 20 soldiers were on their way.
That would take care of the safety problem.
Leah looked to me and asked.
「About my brother...」
「It’s not going to be bad.」
Luka said with a smile.
If the law would be applied rigidly, 90 percent of the Elkay population would be punished.
And not a light one. Because of the taxes paid directly to the so-called Demon Lord, they all had committed treason by basically becoming their own territory.
You could be executed for treason.
Even so, with the agent zombified, they hadn’t had the protection of the kingdom either.
The kingdom didn’t know about the situation, so there would be no recourse.
「Good to hear, brother.」
「Thank you...」
Leah and Leo looked relieved.
