I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

As the defensive barrier of the cruise ship was lifted by Camisia, the little maid girls, led by Lotte in a maid outfit, were the first to walk off the cruise ship. They lined up on both sides of the pier in place of the guard of honor, waiting for the people behind them to come out. Then everyone walked down the gangway in the order of Camisia, Tina, Ella, Iris with blonde hair, Angelica, and Shen Gan.

Although generally no one would think of inspecting the cruise ship of a leader of a country, to be on the safe side, Ella decided to let Tina go with her. She arranged her behind Camisia so that Camisia could take care of her in an emergency.

Da da da.

The only sound on the dock was Ella's group's footsteps on the gangplank connecting the cruise ship to the dock.

After everyone was standing at the dock, Camisia controlled the cruise ship's magic circuit, retracted the gangplank, and moved Tina aside to make way for Ella.

The moment Ella appeared before everyone's eyes, the air froze.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding nobles, including the Dragon King's personal guards, all widened their pupils and stared at Ella with expressions as if they had witnessed something incredible. The surroundings were not filled with fear of the Demon King, but with indescribable admiration and shock.

Considering etiquette, Ella changed into the formal attire that Camisia had prepared for her during her time in the Demon Labyrinth. It was a long dress primarily white, with gold piping along the edges and golden crosses adorning the cuffs and lower abdomen. The open front design didn't dull Ella's thin figure, but instead, paired with her dazzling blonde hair in the sun, the exposed white skin was quite dazzling, giving off a feeling of something other than holiness. The white crown she often wore as part of her "healing miracle" was replaced with a crown framed in gold. The sapphire on the top emitted a round, lustrous sapphire, and anyone who saw it would feel that it held immense magical power.

Having already known the appearance of the current Demon Queen and the next Demon King, Ella, Phoebus stepped forward.

"It is a great honor for Dragon Island that Lord Mistydin can come to Dragon Island at this time. I am the current Dragon King, Phoios Fast Igrit."

"No, no, Your Majesty Igrid, there's no need to be so polite. I'm just a temporary Demon Queen. Just speak in a normal tone."

Faust was stunned by Ella's smiling response. He had originally imagined the Demon Queen to be a spoiled, arrogant and unreasonable character, but now she exuded a sacred aura and had no temperament of a Demon Queen at all. If Faust had to describe her, he could only imagine her as an elf princess or a princess of the gods. In short, it was completely inconsistent with the destructive impression of the demons.

This made Phoas feel embarrassed.

When he first heard the news of the Demon King's arrival, he almost jumped out of his chair with excitement. The current situation of the dragon clan is the worst in history. According to convention, high-level sea beasts will not appear in the first five days of the sea beast's active period. During this period, the dragon clan can allocate troops to each island according to the sea beast's offensive. But this year is different. On the third day, high-level sea beasts such as the "Troll Octopus" and the "Mid-World Python" appeared. There are even reports that soldiers on the edge of the island have witnessed the evolved species of the above two sea beasts, that is, the kings of the race, "Kraken" and "Jörmungandr".

This is just one thing that worries him. Apart from that, there are two other crises. The first is that sea beasts as high as level 20 appeared in the first three days. It is difficult to guarantee that sea beasts like deep sea lords or sea dragons that have reached level 40 will not appear in the future.

The second reason is that sea beasts are rampant, and there is absolutely no room for movement between the islands, or in other words, no way to dispatch ships to exchange information and communicate with each other. Going out to sea in this situation is almost tantamount to suicide, so now Fios has no information about other islands, and cannot even send out troops.

What's more, the main island, as the most important gateway, is already difficult to defend. If I hadn't spent a lot of resources to create a fake seal of original sin, it would be fine. I only needed to use magic cores to build magic cannons, and the problem on the main island wouldn't be too big. But now the real Dragon Island has reached the point where it is just a shell, and the magic cannons can only be used sparingly and as little as possible.

Therefore, the arrival of the Demon King at this time was undoubtedly a timely help to Fuos. Assuming that she was a spoiled and willful person - most princesses he knew were like this - then things would be even easier. He only had to follow her ideas, fulfill her wishes, and then bring up the topic of the current troubles in Dragon Island at the right time, and the Demon King would be able to solve them easily.

That's right, it was just a matter of convenience. Dragon Island and the demons have always had a good relationship. Foos is very clear about the strength of the Executioner Camisia and the Great Sage Dean. He has less than a 30% chance of defeating any of them. The demon king's personal guards have an overall quality of level 20, plus a huge number of at least tens of thousands. This is a terrifying existence that no other race can match.

The demons are different from other races. Their only belief is the Demon King. Becoming a member of the Demon King's personal guard is the dream of demons since childhood. It can be said that this is the most glorious moment in the lives of demons, so it is understandable that there are such a large number of them. More importantly, all the demons practice is offensive magic. Suppose half of it can be transported to Dragon Island, no, a quarter is enough. Suppose a quarter of it can be transported to Dragon Island, at least half of the island will be saved without any problem. If either the Executioner Camisia or the Great Sage Dean is added, Fuos even thinks that Dragon Island can escape with the least damage in years.

This was also what Luti had wondered before, why Fuos came to greet her in person.

It’s just a pity that the person standing in front of him is not a spoiled and willful person who is easily led.

[Tsk, a temporary Demon Queen? This is such an obvious lie. Although her strength does not seem strong, how could Camisia, the Executioner who has managed the Demon Clan for over 6,000 years, be so obedient without any means? Even among the Demon Clan who worship the Demon King, someone like Camisia, who has transcended the realm of heroes, has her own dignity - what a cunning Demon Queen.]

Not considering the girl in front of him, who made the sun pale in comparison, as someone easy to deal with, Fios put aside his judgment of Ella's sophistication and forced a smile.

"It's not convenient to talk here. Please ask Master Misttin to go to the palace to discuss the matter."

"Miss Elelaya~Miss Elelaya~"

Just when Ella was worrying about Fios' invitation, a pleasant female voice with an expectant tone came from behind the Dragon King's guards.

Chapter 76: The Scheming of Delusion

Foos tilted his head slightly to look at his subordinates. Such a humiliating thing happened when he was facing a foreign king and needed help from him. Foos couldn't help but want to drag the guards out and beat them up.

After finding out what happened, the reporting officer whispered it to Fios. Fios's expressionless face turned into a smile again and he turned his gaze back to Ella.

"The person just now was the auxiliary bishop of the Enstanit Church. Does Master Mistydin know her?"

"Ernstanit? Hmm..."

Ella fell into a brief moment of thought.

Even if Fuos didn't say it, she could tell from the voice just now that it was Lucia - whether to choose to talk to Fuos about topics that might involve politics, or to accept Lucia's endless praise, it only took less than a second for Ella to choose the latter.

Rather than engaging in potentially troublesome political discussions, I would rather accept the annoying noise.

Continuing to maintain her previous calm expression - to be honest, she was almost losing it - Ella replied to Phoos in the most natural tone possible.

"If it's Miss Lucia, then it's correct."

"Miss?"

"Ahem, now it's Bishop Lucia."

Fios's tone was a mixture of confusion and shock, which made Ella subconsciously think that she had used the wrong word, and she quickly corrected it to a formal address.

But in the eyes of Fuos, this was something that had to be taken into consideration. It at least showed that the Demon Queen and the bishop named Lucia had known each other for a long time, and their relationship was even very close, so close that the Demon Queen addressed her as "Miss".

Fios couldn't help but have another idea.

"Mister Mistin, would you please go to the main island's capital first? We can discuss this in detail there."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty Igrid. I came to Dragon Island just for sightseeing. If there's too much noise, it will ruin the fun."

"Is that so... Then I can't force you, Master Mistin, but regarding the protection..."

"Ah, Camisia will be the escort. We will handle any problems ourselves. Of course, we won't cause any trouble to His Majesty Igrid."

【damn it. 】

Ella's extremely serious expression made Fuos shout in his heart.

The reason why Fuos suggested having someone serve as a guard was not only to ensure safety, but also to monitor Ella.

The island is in a critical moment. Letting such a cunning person wander around the island is like a sword hanging over one's heart, making Fios feel uncomfortable. Sending guards to supervise is the natural thing to do, but such a proposal was obviously rejected.

The other party's words revealed two meanings. First, having guards like the Executioner Camisia was sufficient, and even if you sent guards, they would be far from enough. Second, I don't want to be supervised by you, so it's difficult for me to obey your orders. This disrespectful response made Fuos frown slightly—of course, it was only a frown in his imagination. If the other party saw him showing dissatisfaction, his subsequent plans would be extremely difficult to carry out.

"I see... If you have any needs, Lord Mistin, please don't hesitate to inform the patrol guards on Dragon Island."

After Fuos finished speaking, the reporter beside him immediately conveyed Fuos's intention to other civil servants.

Then, there was a sound from the sluice gate as something hit the city wall hard, shaking even the sunlight-filled air.

"what happened?"

"Yes, it is Jörmungandr, Lord Phoos."

The subordinate's obviously flustered tone made Fuos frown slightly, but this was not the subordinate's fault. Jörmungandr was a superior species of the Midgard Serpent. An adult Jörmungandr could reach the strength of level 40. If a large number of troops were not mobilized to contain it, even the city walls of Helkar on the main island would be difficult to resist. What's more, he had also issued an order to save the magic cannon for later use. Therefore, the best result now was to solve it himself. However, he needed to accompany the Demon Queen in front of him and could not find a suitable reason to withdraw.

"Then, Your Majesty Igrid, Bishop Lucia must have something urgent to discuss with you. If you have nothing urgent to discuss next, I will proceed to the island."

Phoas was silent for a moment.

"...No problem. I wish you a pleasant journey, Master Mistin."

After the two sides continued to exchange some simple words, Ella took Camisia and others away from the dock.

Watching Ella and her group gradually walking away, Fuos curled his lips unnaturally.

"What a terrifying character."

The dragon clan was so exhausted that the Dragon King had to show up in person. Even on Dragon Island, few people noticed this. When the Demon Queen heard that it was "Jörmungandr" who attacked the sluice wall, she tactfully told me to leave. It was hard to imagine that this was a coincidence. She must have conducted a detailed investigation before coming and had mastered the information about the dragon clan by heart.

No, that's not right. Thinking this way, could the Demon King's purpose in coming here actually be to do me a favor? Or is he eyeing something on Dragon Island? With the Supreme Academy at my disposal, occupying the territory is out of the question for now, but if it's the first two points, then the Demon King's actions are likely to be a way to increase his bargaining chips. He's deliberately staying on the island, keeping me waiting, so I can call for help in an emergency, and maximize my benefits.

Thinking about it carefully, the announcement of the re-merger of the Eastern and Western divisions by the Demon Clan and the return of the Demon Queen was only a while ago. The re-merged Demon Clan must be in great need of a stage to show themselves, and the Demon Queen chose to start with the Dragon Clan because she had figured out the time when sea beasts were active. The collection of information must have been done by the demons sent by the great sage Dean to stay on Dragon Island.

In other words, the Demon Queen's appearance on Dragon Island was not accidental, but a planned action. The purpose was to make the dragon clan ask for help. There were two benefits. First, it could sell favors to Dragon Island or ask for certain resources. Second, it could allow the demon clan to use Dragon Island as a stage to show their strength to the mainland.

"Tsk."

Fios smacked his lips in a sound that only he could hear.

Now they are in a desperate situation. Jörmungandr will appear on the fifth day, and the appearance of the dragon is almost inevitable. If they do not ask for help, they will have to accept large-scale casualties. Therefore, they can only make full preparations on the premise that the Demon Queen will send troops to help, discuss with the counselors all the conditions that the Demon Queen may propose, and then gamble based on these conditions.

The shorter the time, the better. Given the distance between Dragon Island and the Demon Clan, no teleportation magic can achieve this directly. Even if the teleportation magic is used multiple times, it is impractical to transport thousands of people. They can only be transported by ship, and this time will take at least several days.

Fuos couldn't help but begin to envy the previous Dragon King from more than 6,000 years ago. It was extremely lucky to be able to accept the unconditional help of the previous Demon King and his followers at that time.

Supporting his forehead with his hand, Fios let out a low breath.

"Is it both lucky and unlucky now?"

"Lord Phoebus, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's alright. Tell the guards and other nobles to go back. I'll deal with Jörmungandr."

"Yes."

Chapter 77: Curse of the Sea

*创世纪6187年1月7日 上午11：27分 龙岛本岛『赫尔卡尔』

"Ms. Elelaya, it's great to meet you on Dragon Island."

Lucia, dressed in a white and gold outfit with a red cross emblem, bowed to Ella. The two lumps of fat on her chest rose and fell, causing everyone around her, including Ella, to swallow subconsciously - indeed, it was very healing in every sense.

"There's no need to be like that, Ms. Lucia. Just speak in a normal tone."

Ella reached out and fanned herself, trying to relieve the heat. The fancy dress prepared by Camisia did not have the constant temperature effect of a "healing miracle", and it was really tiring to wear it. Thinking of this, Ella couldn't help but think that it was incredible that Lotte didn't sweat even when wearing a maid dress.

However, compared to the previous conversation with Fuos, this was much easier. The communication with the politician was too stressful, so in the end he could only leave a sentence that was almost like running away. Fortunately, Fuos did not pester him anymore, otherwise embarrassing himself would be almost inevitable.

The current location is the main street of Helkar on the main island. Although the fighting outside is very fierce, the city is still bustling. Women in short clothes are picking vegetables at open-air stalls. The sound of butchers chopping bones with knives is mixed with the sound of bargaining. The fishy smell of sea fish wafts from the roadside ditches. Overall, it is a vibrant town.

After stretching deeply and trying not to notice the stares from the surrounding residents, Ella asked Lucia, who was walking side by side with her.

"Why did Miss Lucia come to Dragon Island? Since you've reached the position of assistant bishop, you don't need to go to other branch temples, right?"

A typical temple is generally composed of priests responsible for spreading faith and collecting offerings, priests responsible for healing believers, and guards responsible for security. Lucia, for example, is a priest of the rank of "priest." Priests are categorized as junior priests, senior priests, auxiliary bishops, diocesan bishops, and cardinals. Healers, upon joining a temple, typically become priests of the lowest rank. Besides receiving a salary and status, they also have the obligation to work for the temple, accepting assignments to various branch temples across the continent to perform healing tasks.

Generally, there will be no more personnel changes when one reaches the position of auxiliary bishop, because according to convention, after the death of the diocesan bishop, his position will be taken over by the auxiliary bishop. In other words, as long as Lucia does not leave the branch of the Holy College, it is almost certain that she will become the next diocesan bishop. At this time, transferring the position will not benefit either the temple or the bishop personally.

Perhaps she had touched upon the crux of the matter. Lucia was stunned for a moment before responding to Ella with a pure smile.

"Actually, I came here to resolve the Sea Curse. When I was at the Holy Academy branch, I heard that the Dragon Island Helkar Temple had encountered a problem that no one could solve. Neither our Enstanit Church nor other churches could find a cure, so I thought of coming here to take a look."

"Wow, it's Lucia-chan after all."

"Angeline-chan, Bishop Lucia is probably much older than you, right?"

Iris looked at Angeline who kept nodding with an expression as if she didn't know what to say.

In fact, Lucia is now 21 years old, which means that Lucia is actually the oldest person present - except Camisia and Tina.

"Well, Lucia-chan is Lucia-chan, right? She looks pretty young, huh?"

"Being praised by Angelini makes me feel like I've really gotten smaller."

Lucia didn't seem to care about it at all, but considering that Angelina had always called her that, maybe Lucia had gotten used to it.

"Ms. Fukama's assassination technique seems to have been quite successful. His Majesty Fous didn't notice that Ms. Fukama was in the group."

Lotte spoke in a relaxed tone, and judging by the lavender twintails swaying gently behind her, she must be in a good mood.

"That's just that my uncle is focusing all his attention on the senior. As fellow warriors, the difference in level is too great, and it's difficult to make up for it with skill."

Even though he was talking about someone he hated, Fukagan still shook his head honestly.

"Ahem, what is that curse of the sea that Ms. Lucia mentioned earlier? Is it a disease that makes people become emaciated?"

When it comes to the Curse of the Sea, Ella's first thought is the legend of the active period of sea beasts, which was what the underwater people told the dragon clan before their extinction. They would be invaded by sea beasts from January to April every year. But considering Lucia's words that "other temples have no way to cure it", Ella can only think that it was because of the "False Seal of Original Sin" used by Fios before, which spread the effect of "mild miasma poisoning".

If I remember correctly, many people on Dragon Island became haggard because of this. However, after I recovered the pseudo-original sin mark, I used a higher-level area magic to clear it out, so it should be fine now.

"Well... it's true that they become haggard, but it's not just a mental problem; the body becomes weaker, too. Some people even die from constant bleeding from their teeth. No matter what level of healing magic is used, even if it's temporarily cured, it will reappear after a while. That's why the people on the island call it a curse."

"Eh? Is there such a curse?"

"It might not be a curse... Even using spells to remove curses didn't work, so I'm wondering if it could be something else..."

Lucia frowned slightly.

"Are there many people affected?"

"Yes, this is not only the case on the main island, but also on the other branch islands."

"So many people have been harmed, it can't be a curse, right..."

In Ella's opinion, curses are usually used on people whom one holds a grudge against. Magic that appears indiscriminately on a large scale and is at a lethal level is completely incomprehensible. If a temple came forward at this time and said "I can heal", Ella would still wonder if it was a vicious skill used by the temple to increase its own believers, but from what Lucia said, it seems that this is not the case.

[Perhaps it's similar to the Black Death that occurred at the Holy Academy, but I can't say that without seeing it in person.]

Ella couldn't help but stick out her tongue in her heart. When she came to her senses, she found that Lucia was staring at her with golden eyes that were sparkling with stars.

Subconsciously looked at Luti.
