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

*创世纪6187年3月20日 上午11:02分 赛莫拉比城

After making some adjustments to her appearance, Ella and Lotte followed the "Topography Search" to Eve's location.

Ella's appearance now was no different from usual. Her long straight golden hair was fixed by a white crown. Her purple eyes, symbolizing the demon race, reflected a round luster in the sunlight of the corridor. Her clothes were the same as usual, a "healing miracle" that could regulate temperature. As long as no one used skills such as "advanced identification" on Ella, there would be absolutely no sign of anything unusual.

But in fact, Ella is now appearing outside as a swordsman - in order to prevent any accidents from happening while in the Entarosphiel state, she has done some advance rehearsals, which feels a bit like a rehearsal.

The face in the swordsman state was modified by Vita's magic potion, the white hair was covered by the wig prepared by Lotte, and the original orange-red eyes were disguised by illusion into purple, which symbolizes the demon clan.

After walking a few steps forward, Ella turned her head.

"Is this really okay?"

"Don't worry, Miss Ella. Even I can't see any problem."

"Hmm...Okay."

Ella sighed, turned around and continued walking towards Eve. Although she had confirmed this many times, she still felt uneasy. It was not that she did not trust Ruthie, but she really had no confidence, especially the wig on her head. After putting it on, it was not only very stuffy, but also swayed from side to side as she walked, as if it was about to fall off.

[After all, I've tried hard, so it shouldn't fall off.]

Comforting herself in her heart, Ella recalled how she had deliberately pulled the wig to test its firmness. With the "solidifying" magic, the wig had already adhered to the skin, so there were only two results from pulling it. The first was that the wig broke off, and the second was that it was torn off along with the skin. Therefore, it would not suddenly fall off as Ella worried.

Driving away the chatter in her mind, Ella looked up and could see the sunlight shining through the window at the end of the corridor. Tiny dust particles were floating in it, and combined with the hustle and bustle in the courtyard, it gave people a feeling of being far away from the world.

"What did Ms. Angelica say before?"

"Eh? Angelina? Ah, Angelina just said that Eve had a conflict with an undead, and asked me to go check it out."

"Is it serious?"

There was a hint of worry in Lotte's voice.

Ella turned her head and smiled back at him.

"It's probably nothing urgent. Angelina didn't tell me to hurry over, she just said it would be troublesome if I was late, so it's probably just a minor friction."

Looking down at the Terrain Search, it showed that Eve and Angeline were in the backyard, and opposite them stood an 18th-level and a 19th-level Undead.

If it was only this level, even Angelini could handle it easily alone. Moreover, since the other party could appear in the outside world openly, it meant that it was an intelligent undead and would not easily attack people. The undead were originally despised creatures. Once an incident of attacking people occurred, it would easily cause panic and destroy the trust between each other. Therefore, the Church of Hikalite had strict laws for the undead. If the undead took the initiative to attack humans, there would be no dispute even if they were purified on the spot by law enforcers.

When the two of them reached the corner, Ella stepped aside. Not long after, a girl in clean clothes rushed out from the corner. Perhaps because she realized that she almost bumped into someone, the girl hurriedly raised her head.

"Yes, I'm sorry, ah——it's Lady Ella!"

"If you run like that, you'll bump into someone, right?"

"I'm so sorry, so sorry!"

Niyi began to apologize repeatedly with her head bowed, looking extremely flustered. However, this behavior made Ella feel embarrassed. Niyi was the porter sister she had rescued in the underground tower before. Since the two of them usually slept at other people's doorsteps or simply slept on the streets, she took them to the mansion to live with the ghost girls. Perhaps because she had gotten enough rest staying with the adventure group "Red Aka" a few days ago, Niyi no longer had the original peculiar smell on her body. Although she couldn't say that she was very cute, she was at an average level.

With a relieved expression, Ella reached out and touched Niyi's head.

"You don't have to apologize, Niyi, is there something urgent that's worrying you so much?"

Perhaps she was still afraid in her heart. Ni Yi raised her eyes fearfully and then immediately looked away. She twisted her hands in front of her waist and spoke hesitantly.

"Yes, it's Camisia-sama... let me get the rope for the magic airship..."

"Is Niyi also learning how to use the magic airship?"

I can't help but feel surprised. Unlike the ghosts, Ni Yi cannot use the bone dragon essence to upgrade. With her current strength of less than level 2, she is simply unable to control the magic airship.

"No... no, Camisia-sama just asked me to come get something. My goal is to become someone like Lotte-sama!"

For some reason, Ni Yi was full of determination when she said this, which seemed very dazzling to me who lacked goals.

"Ahaha, if we target Lotte, it'll be hard to catch up, you know?"

"It's okay, I'll try my best!"

"Well, Niyi, go do your own thing first. Keep going, okay? Lotte and I are going to the backyard."

"Yes! Thank you, Master Ella."

Ni Yi bowed to Ella and thanked her in a voice full of energy. She stood at the stairs and watched Ella leave, looking quite self-conscious of her duties as a servant.

Of course, such an action was another matter for Ella.

After getting away from Ni Yi, Ella whispered a question to Lotte behind her.

"You actually said thank you... Did I say anything worthy of thanks?"

"They're probably thanking Miss Ella for taking them in. I heard from Miss Camisia that Nii and Nai will be trained as reserve maids for the Demon King. Judging from their current progress, they won't be back to the Demon Tribe anytime soon. The number of maids will increase again."

Thinking back to the fact that she was the head maid appointed by Ella, the smile on Lotte's face softened a little.

[Eh... Will Niyi and Nayi become maids in the future? But being a maid seems like such hard work, so why are they so happy...]

Ella was a little confused, but thinking that as long as Niyi and Nayi liked it, she would not say anything that went against their will, so she quickly drove such distracting thoughts out of her mind and quickened her pace to go to Eve.

Not long after, the two arrived at where Eve was.

Because the large open space behind the mansion needs to be renovated - mainly to make the ground smoother to serve as the take-off and landing point for the magic airship - the backyard next to the open space is now used as a temporary storage place for sundries. Various wooden boxes containing unknown props and old furniture are neatly stacked in the corner, making the backyard, which already has many plants, look even more crowded.

Now Angelica and Eve were standing near the entrance, blocking the steps as if to prevent the two undead from entering.

As for the two undead skeletons standing in the distance, judging by the footprints on the muddy ground at the base of the wall, they must have scaled the wall to enter the courtyard. The level 18 skeleton wielded a round shield and a longsword, while the level 19 skeleton wielded a metal spear. The one holding the spear was missing an arm.

He quickly walked to Angelica, who had her back to him. He could understand the current situation without any explanation. It must have happened after Eve discovered the two undead who invaded the mansion, which led to the current confrontation.

"they are?"

"They were two people who wanted to steal the Bone Dragon's spirit. They ran to the room on the second floor, but were stopped by Eve. After I found them, I chased them all the way here."

While explaining, Angeline looked up at a room on the second floor. If she remembered correctly, that was where the Bone Dragon Essence was stored. Because the mansion was now recruiting undead with Bone Dragon Essence as commission, and she couldn't always stand next to the recruitment site, so she stored the Bone Dragon Essence where others could get it at any time.

It is also worth mentioning that since the number of undead who have come here so far is nearly three times more than expected, in order to select the most suitable candidates, Camisia decided to first select the stronger ones in the form of a ring duel, and then give them a probationary period to assess their character. Only after all of them pass the test will they be officially hired. This is also the reason why the courtyard is so lively - the ring is in the courtyard.

According to Angeline, the two undead couldn't accept the form of selection where they were watched by others, but they were eager to obtain the bone dragon essence that was advertised to enhance the abilities of the undead, so they committed the current stealing behavior. According to the two skeletons, it was an equal transaction. They would leave all their property behind after taking the bone dragon essence, but since they had no intention of selling it, it could not be called a transaction at all.

In addition, the two seemed to have the idea of ​​not wanting to be ordered around by people who were weaker than themselves.

"It's rude, but they're probably the stubborn type... but there are benefits to this."

Although stubborn people are difficult to communicate with, as long as they agree, they will not break their promises. If he can convince them, the problem of guarding the mansion will basically be half solved - the level of the undead in the courtyard is now around level 10, and there are no undead like the two in front of him who are close to level 20, so if these two people can be used as guards, the safety of the ghost girls will no longer have to worry about it.

Ella murmured softly, recalling what Angelina said, that the two undead didn't want to be ordered around by someone weaker than themselves.

"So, all I have to do is surpass them in strength... I should be fine in my current state, but then again—"

Ella looked at the bone in Angelini's hand. No matter how she looked at it, it was part of a human arm.

"What's this?"

"This? Little Eve gave it to me. It looks like the arm of the skeleton with the spear."

"Huh? Did Eve swallow his hand?"

"Yeah, punishment."

“Hey, hey…”

Seeing Eve nod obediently, Ella couldn't help feeling speechless. Although the book said that broken bones in the skeleton could be reconnected, it was still too horrifying to tear someone's arm off directly. The other party didn't run away directly, probably because he wanted to get his left hand back.

Looking at the arm bone that Angelini handed to her, Ella couldn't help but want to throw it next to the skeleton and didn't want to touch it at all.

Perhaps seeing his arm being casually displayed, the skeleton holding the spear shouted.

"Give me back my hand!"

Please don't say such horrible things!

Trying hard to suppress the cry in her heart, Ella put on a serious expression.

"I am Ella, the owner of this mansion. Regarding the Bone Dragon Essence you desire, I can consider giving it to you. However, in return, you will need to serve as guards of this mansion for a period of time—"

"Don't be ridiculous, we're on a Mithril-level adventure—"

"Shut up."

boom--

Perhaps because she was very dissatisfied with the skeleton's behavior of interrupting Ella's speech, Lotte used Hela to warn the other party. Of course, the attributeless bullet only hit the ground and did not hit the skeleton directly.

"Tsk, a hidden weapon?"

It seemed that they had mistaken Lotte's sniper for a hidden weapon, but there was no need for her to explain. Ella took a step forward. At the level 116 swordsman level, she had no problem dealing with these skeletons.

[This is a good opportunity to use the challenge as an excuse to test the disguise effect. If the illusion is interrupted when using other magic, it can now be corrected in time.]

Pretending to be serious, Ella gradually walked to the center of the backyard.

"I know you don't want to be commanded by weaklings, so why not give it a try? You can both come at me together. If you defeat me, I'll give you the Bone Dragon Essence unconditionally. But if you lose, you'll become guards of the mansion and ensure the safety of the ghosts living within. How about that?"

Although I couldn't understand the skeleton's expression - after all, skeletons had no expression at all - I could still hear the spear skeleton's hesitation from his tone.

"You? Little girl, you're right, aren't you? Even if you're a priest skilled in holy magic, you can't handle both of us at the same time."

"Oh, I'm a level 20 priest, you know?"

[Although it is currently level 116.]

Taking out the "Black and White Wings" from the storage - a long sword with a white border and an overall black color, Ella assumed a basic attacking stance.

"Level 20..."

After hearing the level reported by Ella, the red light in the eyes of the two skeletons suddenly jumped, and then the atmosphere on their bodies began to change. A gray negative life slowly wrapped around the weapons. If they were not mistaken, this should be the strengthening magic unique to the undead. Level 20 is already in the realm of orichalcum level, and is an opponent worthy of their attention.

"Is it okay if I'm missing a hand?"

If he was a spear user, the lack of one hand would have been a considerable hindrance, so Ella specifically asked about it.

"There are two of us, so missing a hand isn't a big deal. So—well."

The battle began instantly with the spear-wielding skeleton's charge as a signal.

……

"Lotte, aren't you worried about Ella-chan just watching her go? Ella-chan can't use offensive magic, right? And the weapon she's using is a longsword she's not familiar with."

"Don't worry, huh? Miss Ella is the strongest right now."

“Eh…”

Although she knew that Luti would not lie, such words still sounded unbelievable. Angeline shifted her gaze to the battlefield, gripping the scythe tightly and ready to join the battle at any time.

Chapter 56 Intermission

Noticing that Ella dodged the spear's swing, the skeleton couldn't help but make a sound similar to clicking its tongue.

"Tsk, so you're a law enforcer of the temple? That makes sense why you chose a longsword, but why not holy magic?"

"The battle is over then, Ice Wall."

After all, the reason for choosing a long sword is to show mercy.

Swinging her sword, she deflected the other longsword skeleton's slash. In order to create distance between the two, Ella summoned an ice wall on the ground, but it was destroyed by the opponent in an instant.

Judging from the current situation, these two undead are not just people with levels. Although their actual combat abilities are not as good as Angelica or Shen Gan, they are still much stronger than ordinary people. At least they can serve as guards without any problems.

As for his disguise, the purple eyes created using "Illusion Creation" did not seem to disappear due to the battle. Whether using magic or making other large movements, there were no problems. Therefore, it can be almost confirmed that illusion is a skill that can be effective for a long time and is not interfered with by other magic.

"There's a flaw! 'Continuous Light Thrust'!"

The spear-wielding skeleton quietly approached from behind and launched an attack, but this was something I already knew, as I now have sharp five senses and excellent reflexes. Even if I didn't know it in advance, shouting "There's a flaw" during a sneak attack like this would be fatal.

『Resistance Aura』

With itself as the center, an orange-red light quickly spreads outward, repelling the skeletons attacking from both sides. 'Resistance Aura' is a first-tier skill commonly used by melee professions. Although it does no damage itself, due to its instantaneous nature and ability to create distance, it is a skill that almost every player in 'F.Wing' will learn.

The sword-wielding skeleton, whose blade was deflected by the "Resistance Aura," rose from the ground, raised its round shield, and roared at Ella.

"It's actually the 'Resistance Aura'? That longsword is a magical weapon? It actually has this kind of magic that can only be engraved on a weapon? Is this why you gave up using the divine staff?!"

[Eh? Is 'Resistance Aura' something that can only be engraved on weapons? I thought all warriors could use it... I'd better use this magic less from now on.]

After making a decision in her heart, Ella, who had confirmed that her disguise was completely fine, began to look for the location of the two skeletons. It was time to end the battle.

"Using holy magic might cause irreversible damage, so let's resolve it with physical means."

Focusing his attention on the longsword skeleton facing him, he discovered that it was a warrior wielding a longsword and a round shield. Through an "intermediate appraisal," he could see that it possessed the skill of "block and counterattack"—a skill that, after taking an attack, would return a certain percentage of the damage to the opponent. Although the triggering conditions were very harsh, in actual combat, it would be very difficult for the attacker to use such powerful skills without hesitation.
