A look of uncertainty and nervousness appeared on Mitis's face. She turned slightly to look at the army below the mountain.
"That's true... but I have a bad feeling. If the black dragons were willing to come out, we'd have a good chance, but they don't seem to want to leave their lair."
“Ahahaha…”
When Ella heard Mitis mention that the black dragon was unwilling to leave its nest, she couldn't help but smile very awkwardly.
A big part of the reason why the black dragons were reluctant to leave was because of himself. Ever since the black dragons had eaten the food made by himself and Ruthie, they would invite him to visit the Black Dragon Mountains every day. Then they would start dueling for all kinds of unexpected reasons - for example, some black dragons would feel that others got more food than themselves, some black dragons would squeeze out other black dragons because they didn't want to queue, or simply snatch food from others... In short, the black dragon's lair would stage a wonderful melee and magic battle every day.
After this situation lasted for a week, the dilapidated black dragon's nest finally couldn't bear the burden. Not only did the original lake evaporate, but even the surrounding mountains and various precious plant materials disappeared. The most important magic veins were even blocked. The black dragons have been worrying about this matter for the past few days.
"That level of traffic can't be called a blockage, right? It's already become so dilapidated that it can't be used anymore..."
Ella entwined her hands together awkwardly. She had secretly checked once in the form of the Loli God, and that level of damage was no longer possible to repair. Apart from using the super-level magic "Heart of Baldur" to create a new leyline, she could not think of any other way.
[I hope the Black Dragons can come up with a solution...]
"So, I'm going on this mission with the understanding that I might not come back. If Ella finds something wrong, I'll leave immediately. Camisia isn't invincible, so we can't rely too much on her strength."
Seeing the serious look in Mitis's eyes, Ella nodded.
"Yes, I will."
"in addition……"
At this point, Mitis suddenly became shy, like a girl in love about to confess her love.
Chapter 58: Temporary Separation
[Are you going to talk about the Mark of Original Sin? ]
Ella held her breath, waiting for Mitis to speak.
"If...if I can come back this time...I want to tell Ella something...because it's very important, so--"
"I'll listen carefully."
Interrupting Mitis's words, Ella immediately made a promise.
"And I won't tell anyone else."
"Is that so? Then I'll have to work even harder to come back."
A relieved expression appeared on Mitis's face, and perhaps because of the hot weather, there was a blush on her face.
As if she suddenly remembered something, Mitis let out a soft cry, then reached out and took out a thin book that Ella had seen before from the storage magic.
"Oh, by the way, I have something to give to Ella."
"Eh? Isn't this Mitis's diary? I remember it said it records a girl's secrets and can't be seen by others..."
"Don't say that now, idiot!"
Angrily hitting Ella on the head with the booklet, Mitis continued to add unhappily.
"Anyway, this thing will be temporarily handed over to Ella for safekeeping. If I don't come back, it will belong to you, Ella. But if I come back, you must return it to me honestly. And - this is the most important point, Ella, don't forget - Ella cannot open it until you are sure that my action has failed. Do you understand? If I find out that Ella opened it without my permission, I will... I will..."
For a moment, Mitis was at a loss as to what to say. It seemed that she had nothing to threaten Ella with.
After thinking hard in her mind for a long time, Mitis clenched her fist with one hand and punched her other empty hand.
"I'll blame Ella for making me her servant!"
"Haha... I see... But wouldn't it be unlucky if I accepted it?"
Having said that, Ella doesn't think that Mitis will not be able to come back. She will follow in secret all the way and prevent the Seal of Greed from making any effective moves.
"This is just in case. If anything happens, then I should leave."
"Wait, I have something for Mitis too."
Calling out to Mitis who was waving at her and preparing to turn around, Ella took out several javelins that had been placed in an empty space in the warehouse. Considering that the Seal of Greed has the skill of "Nullifying Second-Level Restricted Magic", these javelins are all types that focus on power, ranging from the lowest javelin with the power of fourth-level magic to the highest seventh-level javelin. There are not only types that focus on explosive damage, but also piercing attacks that tend to damage single targets.
Moreover, because these items can produce effects as soon as they are thrown out, even ordinary people without magical abilities can use them normally. According to the value of the Seal of Greed, if Mitis throws all of them out at once, they will definitely be blown to pieces, leaving no room for resistance.
"These are javelins made by me—the previous Demon King. They range in power from fourth-tier to seventh-tier magic. Take them with you, Mitis, just in case."
"Wait, what did Ella just say? Seventh-level magic?"
"Um, what's the problem?"
As long as it is related to the previous generation of Demon King and the props are not too outrageous, it can be understood.
"I don't remember... No, it's nothing, but seventh-level magic is a priceless strategic material. If I took it out, I wouldn't be able to afford it even if I sold several of them. So even if you give it to me like this..."
"It's okay, Mitis, feel free to use it."
Ella patted her plain chest, making a dull thumping sound. Although it sounded a bit pitiful, she was extremely confident.
"Ella has absolutely no concept of money... This is forbidden magic! It's not something you can just give away casually. If someone with ulterior motives knew about it, they'd definitely gossip."
"It's okay, these are worthless—no, they're all tools I can't use."
For a moment, she wanted to say that it was worthless, but if she did that, Mitis would definitely teach her that she had no concept of money, so Ella had to change her words.
"Ayla, you were trying to say it's worthless, weren't you? If you put seventh-tier magic outside, you wouldn't be able to buy it even with gem coins. You'd need a noble rank of Viscount or higher to win it over. Ella, you should keep it for yourself. You'll need it in case of danger... But which one of these is a seventh-tier magic? They all look the same."
Seeing Mitis preparing to shave the javelin seriously, Ella couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
I couldn't really say, "I made this using materials from F.Wing that were so plentiful that no one else wanted to pick them up. It's worthless, isn't it?" After thinking for a moment, I had to choose a statement that sounded very bold.
Not daring to look Mitis in the eye, Ella forced herself to say what she had just thought of.
"Hmm... In that case, Mitis, try not to use that javelin, which is as powerful as seventh-tier magic. Of course, if there's absolutely no other option, you can use it, but that would be like admitting you've bought it. How's that?"
There was no answer. Ella couldn't help but feel that she had said something wrong. Although Mitis was not a person with a very delicate mind, her words were a bit too much no matter what. Saying "I want to buy you!" to a lady was so close to the words of a slave trader that it would be strange if she was not regarded as an arrogant pervert.
"Ah, I really shouldn't have said that. Although I originally wanted Mitis to accept it, what I just said was too strange. Putting aside how Mitis will view me in the future, even if she accepts it, there's no way she'll use it. I should have thought about other options... Damn it, I need to make some remedial measures."
Her cheeks flushed with shame, and Ella couldn't help but feel like crawling into the ground because of the arrogant remarks just now.
"Ah... I was just saying that. Feel free to use your spear, Mitis. Don't worry about it."
Hearing Ella's change of words, Mitis came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream. Holding the javelin in her arms, she paused for a moment, then put her hands together with great seriousness, making a crisp "pop" sound, and took a step forward to Ella.
"No, it's only natural that you have to compensate for damaging someone else's things. If you don't have this condition, I will definitely use Ella's collection of treasures without any care, so please don't withdraw it!"
Ella had never seen Mitis look so serious, and she couldn't help but fall into a brief daze.
"I... I don't think Mitis needs to treat this as a precious item..."
"How can that be!"
The sound was so loud that it seemed to deafen my ears.
"...I'm sorry, I lost control just now."
"what……"
"Anyway, let's do as Ella said just now. I'll work harder even if there's pressure—no, with a tool as powerful as seventh-tier magic, I'm sure it'll succeed."
"Don't say something like that, like you're raising a flag."
"Don't worry, trust me, I still have a lot of cards up my sleeve."
This time, it was Mitis's turn to put on a confident expression, put her hands on her chest, and winked at Ella.
"Well then, Ella, wait here for the good news of my triumphant return. Don't forget what I just said, okay? I have something important to tell you when I get back."
"Yes, I'll wait for you."
Ella sighed softly as she waved goodbye to Mitis, who had lost all tension and spread her wings as she flew towards the army.
"I told you not to say anything like that, like raising a flag. Well, I'll follow you."
Just as he finished speaking, a woman with crimson twintails and wearing a dreamy white dress jumped out from the woods in the distance.
"Princess, do you require my company?"
"No, if Camisia goes with us, it will be troublesome if we get attacked. I'll go alone."
For a moment, Camisia showed an expression as if she wanted to say something, but she suppressed her unnecessary worry, placed her hand on her left chest, and bowed to Ella.
"Yes."
"Well, it's time for me to get moving. The spices I made earlier will come in handy."
Hanging the small package of spices around her waist, Ella sniffed it lightly, and after confirming that the surroundings were filled with the scent of spices, she took a deep breath.

Chapter 59 Mysterious Creatures
Sitting on the horse, Mitis, feeling less depressed, stretched out lazily.
Although the original plan was slightly changed due to some external factors, it generally went as expected. Not only that, he even got a magic weapon from Ella that was equivalent to seventh-level magic. With Greedy's current level, he would definitely not be able to withstand seventh-level magic without any preparation.
Thinking of this, Mitis couldn't help but hum with joy.
"Even though Ella hasn't told me which is the seventh-tier magic weapon, I can just throw them out together when the time comes—well, no, it can't be based on the use of magic weapons. This precious item is also very important to Ella. If she told me to use it casually, it must be because she doesn't want me to feel burdened. I can still see that."
Mitis paused for a moment, as if she had thought of something else.
"But the reward after using it will be... me... It's a bit hard to choose, should I use it or not..."
I have long envied Lotte for being able to follow Ella around as a maid. Although the reason for being a servant is also very good, it always feels a little inferior to being a maid. Of course, I don’t mean to be a slave. Compared with the unequal relationship between superiors and subordinates, I look forward to equal love. The so-called servants and possessions are just a process to achieve equality. The relationship of mutual support is the most intoxicating thing.
Mitis scratched her cheek in embarrassment. Using the javelin would cause trouble for Ella. Seventh-level magic was also very precious to the demons. If Ella, the demon king, gave it to her like this, she might be criticized by her people. The demon leaders were not all demons. There were also some knowledgeable people from other races among them. So even if the demons themselves did not think there was a problem, those people from other races would feel dissatisfied.
Without javelins, relying solely on one's own strength, even with the help of the Seal of Wrath, the chance of winning would be less than 60% at most. This is why the diary was left to Ella. If there was only the Seal of Wrath, Camisia might be able to barely defeat it with her strength, but the problem is that if the Seal of Wrath finds out that he is still in an unawakened state and forces himself to awaken at the cost of sacrificing his level, the situation will evolve into two Seals of Original Sin appearing together in the desperate situation of the empire. In addition, the battlefield is right next to the Black Dragon Mountains, and the ability of the Seal of Jealousy to control monsters will definitely become an unimaginable disaster.
"No matter what, it can't come to that... If it's unavoidable, then use the javelin."
"Throwing a spear?"
Hearing Mitis's muttering, Nanako, who was also riding a horse beside her, took over the conversation.
"Is Master Mitis worried about this operation?"
"Eh? Uh... Nanako-chan heard that?"
Although Nanako calls herself sister in private, she still addresses her as "Adult" in public.
"Is it something that cannot be heard?"
"Hmm... I guess so. Regarding this battle, Nanako doesn't need to go to the front lines. Just stay on the periphery."
"Huh? Why?"
The rabbit ears on Nanako's head suddenly stood up, and a look of doubt appeared in her bright red eyes.
Mitis glanced away guiltily. She certainly couldn't tell Nanako that the target this time was actually the Seal of Original Sin. So far, the only information Gerard had was that there was a headquarters of the Laplace Demon in the southern part of the Black Dragon Mountains. As for how many people there were and what level the strongest one was, there was no such information at all.
"Anyway, Nanako, just follow my orders. My intuition tells me this mission will be quite troublesome, and I don't want to see anything happen to you."
"Is that so... I will follow your instructions."
"Well, speaking of which, who was it that captured Laplace's Demon and brought him to the camp? Bringing nearly a thousand people from the Black Dragon Mountains to the camp overnight, and without any harm to the poachers, that's definitely not something humanly possible, right?"
Thanks to this mysterious man, his plan with the Seal of Greed was greatly impacted. According to the original plan, he would capture the Laplace's Demon arranged by the Seal of Greed, and let the spy deliberately expose the location of the Seal of Greed. However, due to the influence of all the Laplace's Demon being captured in one fell swoop, the Seal of Greed could only use Sith as a pawn to let himself be captured, thereby exposing the location of the decisive battle.
"Don't you know, Mitis-sama?"
"Honestly... I haven't paid attention to it..."
During this period of time, he was either pushing forward the plan or sticking with Ella, and had no extra time to think about who the mysterious man was.
"It seems that Master Mitis has completely fallen."
"Nanako, stop teasing me and tell me the final solution."
Perhaps it was something very important. Nanako looked around first, then leaned over with a mysterious look on her face and leaned close to Mitis's ear.
"Because it could have a negative impact, this matter has been suppressed by Lord Gerard, you know? Regarding that mysterious individual, the commander of the Magic Chanter Corps speculates that he may be someone far beyond the realm of heroes, at least level 70."
