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

"It's so annoying. Don't bother me with my business."

Iris always seemed to cause great ups and downs in Shen Gan's mood. Shen Gan rarely showed impatience, but Iris looked indifferent and casually shifted her gaze elsewhere.

Thinking that Iris was also a princess but had never been troubled by this, Eira asked Iris the same question.

"Me? Those people don't even have the courage to approach me, because I'm so much higher level than them and feel inferior or something. And even if there are people who don't care about that, as long as there is a 'curse', they can be turned into puppets and let them go."

"Eh... that curse can be used in this way..."

If Ella remembered correctly, the so-called curse was the "Eye of Freya" that she had broken, and could confuse everyone around her indiscriminately.

But one person scoffed at Iris's words.

"Tsk, you're so bold! Senior, you'd better stay away from that woman. Those people are deceived by her harmless appearance. She pretends to be helpless and then demands some unattainable conditions, so that the people who proposed the marriage will leave."

"Eh? Is that so?"

"Who knows?"

Facing Ella's wide-eyed confirmation, Iris turned her gaze away and remained silent.

"Um... Miss Ella, is that the person we met earlier, Marudo?"

Luti pointed to a young man who looked very down and out and was arguing with someone not far away.

Chapter 33 New Discovery

"Eh? It seems so. That short sword with the family crest should be Marudo. But didn't he say he was coming to the main island to sell the few remaining goods? How did he become like this now?"

No matter how Ella looked at it, Marudo now looked as if he had been kicked out of the hotel. His guards and butler were not around, his face was very haggard, and even the clothes he wore had changed from the gorgeous aristocratic costumes he had seen before to an inconspicuous, even worse than the patched shorts worn by ordinary civilians.

"Do you need to go take a look?"

"Well, let's go check it out. They must have encountered some special situation."

Nodding, Ella walked towards Marudo who was being pushed out of the inn.

"Please let me stay one more night! The patrol has already promised to help me find my family tomorrow! They will definitely pay the bill then!"

As if about to cry, Marudo pleaded with the clerk in an almost begging tone.

But the clerk just frowned and waved him away.

"You always say you'll go tomorrow, but it's been several days, and there's still no news. If it weren't for your status as a noble, I would have kicked you out long ago—hmm? If you'll give me that nice-looking dagger, I'll let you stay for two more weeks and waive all your previous expenses. How's that?"

"S-short sword?"

Following the clerk's gaze, Marudo touched the conspicuous and gorgeous dagger hanging at his waist, which was a symbol of Marudo's noble status.

After touching the family crest engraved on the hilt of the sword, Marudo's eyes, which were originally full of hope, suddenly dimmed and he became hesitant.

"This... This is the symbol of my family. I can't give it away casually... Just give me one more day, no, half a day, and I'll go and ask the patrol to take—"

"If you don't want to sell it, leave now, or I'll tell the patrol and have them put you in the dungeon."

The clerk's words instantly made Marudo shut up, and then Marudo was completely pushed out the door. The onlookers also slowly dispersed because the matter was over.

“Ahh! Asshole!”

He threw a punch in anger, but just as his fist was about to hit the door frame of the hotel, he retracted it awkwardly - now he had almost lost his noble status, and if he damaged anything, he would need to pay the price, and now that he had no money to pay, he would most likely be sent to the dungeon, and then he would really not be able to return home.

At this moment, a voice that sounded like an angel to Marudo rang out.

"Marudo?"

Marudo was very familiar with this voice; it was someone who could definitely save him at this moment. Immediately suppressing his anger, Marudo adopted the respectful attitude he always remembered and turned to face Ella, the source of the voice.

"M-Mistetine-sama."

"It's really Marudo..."

Ella's words, as if confirming something, made Marudo lower his head in shame.

"I'm deeply sorry...for letting Master Mistin see me in this indecent state."

"It's okay. Marudo must be in some trouble right now, right?"

No matter who it is, as long as they have seen Marudo's previous outfit, they will definitely ask this question after seeing Marudo's current outfit.

But Ella's tolerance only made Marudo feel more ashamed, and he stammered his thanks.

"Thank you, thank you for your generosity, Master Mistin. I'm really in trouble right now..."

"What's the trouble?"

"Well... my family and I encountered pirates on our way to the main island. They stole my merchant ship and me. I was the only one on board who escaped with the help of my steward. Although some sailors and hired adventurers also jumped into the sea at that time, I haven't met any of my companions yet. They might..."

At this point, Marudo lowered his head with a bitter expression. Jumping into the sea without any aids would mean a near-zero chance of survival. Not to mention the ferocious sea beasts, the question of whether one could reach shore before exhaustion was even a concern.

But Marudo's intention was not to complain, he quickly recovered from his sadness and continued to add.

"Those who didn't jump ship must have been captured by pirates and enslaved. So, the cargo and my family on my ship must still be with the pirates. If we can find their hideout, we can definitely solve the problem... But now, I didn't bring enough gold with me when I escaped, so I don't even have a place to stay..."

Ella blinked her gem-like purple eyes, trying her best to hide the pity in her heart and only showing a little sympathy.

"What a disaster... I can give you some gold coins, but I don't have much here. Is there anything else Marudo needs? If it's within my ability."

Of course, the "within the scope" that Ella mentioned refers to the extent to which she can help, such as helping to use terrain search to search for pirate hideouts. However, if you have to do something you don't want to do just to help, then we respectfully decline.

Ella's words caused Marudo to hesitate for a long time.

Initially, Marudo had intended to ask Ella to use her powerful strength as a demon king to help him find the thieves and defeat them. In that case, he would be willing to give Ella everything except the crew and the ship itself as a reward, but now Marudo has changed his mind.

Ella's innocent and pure eyes made Marudo feel the selfishness in her heart - she actually wanted to let someone who looked like a child fight against a group of ferocious pirates. This kind of selfish behavior that only cared about herself was like whipping her heart with thorns, making Marudo want to run away immediately.

"What's wrong? Are you sick? Eye of True Vision."

『Low-level identification』

Because Marudo hadn't spoken for a long time, Ella couldn't help but wonder if Marudo had suffered some injuries that weren't visible on the surface. He pretended to chant the "Eye of True Vision" that could detect his life status, but actually used the more detailed "Low-level Identification".

But what was originally just a casual action made Ella frown and fall into deep thought.

Wait, why is it "mild miasma poisoning" again? Could it be that Marudo has also been affected by the Seal of Original Sin? But if he's just fighting a normal human, there's no way he'd be affected by miasma poisoning... Add to that the sea fish that attacked the sisters earlier and the Deep Sea Lord, this is the third person connected to the Seal of Original Sin...

"Master Mistetin? Master Mistetin?"

"Huh? Uh-huh, ──『Blessing of Detoxification』, that should be fine."

After the white light enveloped Marudo, Marudo, who originally looked very haggard, instantly became much more energetic. This kind gesture immediately made Marudo make a decision in his heart.

Wiping the dust off his face, Marudo put on a very solemn expression and performed a ceremony for Ella that was second only to meeting the king in the Bruzea Empire.

"I appreciate Master Mistydin's kindness, but now you only need to give me two gold coins. I must use my own abilities to persuade the island's naval fleet to help me."

"Really? Here are two gold coins. Come on."

"Thank you very much, Master Mistetin. I will definitely repay your kindness today."

Marudo honestly took the gold coins handed to him by Ella, and after speaking with a solemn look as if he was swearing an oath to God, he turned and walked towards the military headquarters on the island.

Looking at Marudo's slowly receding back, Iris brushed back a few strands of golden hair that had drifted to the side of her face.

"Wow, he's quite self-aware. I originally thought he would ask Ella-chan for help in defeating the thieves."

"Ahahaha... no one would ask for that anyway, Iris, you're overthinking it."

"Haha, you're such a naive person, Senior."

"Even Fukagan thinks so?!"

"I've encountered people like this making unreasonable demands before when I was on an adventure mission, haven't you? It's definitely Ella-chan who's a bit strange."

Since even Angelini said that, it seems that Ella is the one who is more strange than everyone else.

Lotte interrupted the conversation at the right time, managing the young maids and not letting them get too far away from her, while asking questions to Ella who was being taught by everyone.

"Miss Ella, are we going to look for a place to stay next? It's getting dark."

"Well, let's find a hotel first."

——And there is something important to do in the evening.

Looking at the people around her who had been identified by her skills, Ella let out a long sigh.

Chapter 34: The Elves in the Night

*创世纪6186年12月28日 晚22:37分 本岛『赫尔卡尔』

Since there is no curfew and the island has a large population and frequent trade, Helkar is bustling even late at night. Taverns are full of sailors and adventurers drinking cheap rum and flattering each other. There are also vendors selling barbecue-like things on the streets. Due to local customs, the staple food here is mostly black bread, which can be eaten immediately and can satisfy hunger.

But the hustle and bustle on the street was a torture to Ella.

The hotel here was not equipped with a soundproof magic circle like the Holy Academy, so all the sounds from the street below could be transmitted perfectly to the ears, including the drunken man's unrestrained laughter, the sizzling sound of unknown meat roasting on the flames, and the crisp sound of dishes colliding. No matter which one, it was a sound that would definitely not make people want to sleep.

So after lying in bed for a long time and unable to find a suitable sleeping position even after tossing and turning, Ella decided to take action early.

The reason for the action was an accidental discovery I made in the morning.

After using "Low-level Appraisal" on Marudo, she discovered the miasma poisoning effect of the Seal of Original Sin. After applying the "Blessing of Detoxification", Marudo, who had originally looked haggard, instantly recovered his spirit. Coincidentally, at the dock of Helkar on the main island, Ella had noticed that almost one-third of the people had haggard faces.

At first, Ella just thought that this was due to the poor living conditions on Dragon Island, which led to the haggard appearance. However, with the example of Marudo, Ella tried to use the "low-level identification" on passers-by around her. The result was unexpected - anyone with a haggard face would have the effect of "mild miasma poisoning" in the status bar.

No matter how you look at it, this is an abnormal situation, so what is certain now is that there must be something on the main island of Helkar that is closely related to the Seal of Original Sin, or in other words, the Seal of Original Sin may be on Helkar.

If we can get information about the location of the Seal of Original Sin and consciously guide Iris there with Camisia, even without fighting, the news will spread quickly throughout the continent, and then people who want to increase their achievements will naturally come.

——It’s better to leave the unpleasant task of destroying the world’s enemies to the brave.

Standing in the room now were Ella and Camisia, who had been informed of their purpose in advance.

"Princess, we are ready."

"Hmm... isn't Camisia confused by my current appearance?"

Now Ella is not using the highest-level loli god appearance, but a weak elf form with blonde hair and blue eyes - this is the most commonly used one among all her professions, a magic caster with a level of 945.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, and pointed ears of the elves - she doesn't look like a mature older sister, but rather a lolita who doesn't seem to have grown up. Fortunately, her outfit in the magic caster state is a conservative aqua blue off-shoulder dress, rather than the revealing and provocative outfit she wore in the magician state during a certain experiment.

Shaking her head, Camisia's voice came from under the mask - this was a mask with magical effects that could conceal cognition.

"The princess is the princess. Even in her current non-demon form, her scent—her true form—doesn't change."

"Kamisia, you were going to say smell, right?!"

"No, Princess, you must have misheard."

Since Camisia was wearing a mask, Ella couldn't tell what she was thinking from her expression. However, even if Camisia took off the mask, Ella wouldn't be able to read anything from her serious expression.

"Princess, are we the only ones carrying out this operation? Hmm—I'm not doubting your abilities, but if the others don't know..."

"We have to do this, right? It's going to be very dangerous if it's related to the Mark of Original Sin, right? If I tell Lotte and the others, Lotte will definitely ask to come along. This is for safety reasons. It would be bad if they got hurt."

"Yes, my lady."

Without further ado, Camisia nodded, and then, with the help of Ella's "Group Short-Distance Teleportation" and "Wings of Hermes", she stayed a few thousand meters above Dragon Island.

The reason why I chose the Magic Chanter form instead of the Loli God form is because the Magic Chanter is the profession I use most often in "F.Wing", and it is easier to use skills.

Now that you may encounter the Mark of Original Sin at any time, the best choice is to use commonly used and higher-level professions.

"[Terrain Search]."

Expanding the scope to the entire Dragon Island, Ella began to search for people with the effect of "mild miasma poisoning". After all the poisoned people appeared in the form of red dots, Ella looked at the area with the densest red dots and murmured softly.

"Is it really on Dragon Island?"

Although the distribution of the red dots is very chaotic and there are many people walking among them, there is a general trend of radiating from one point to other places. It can almost be considered that the place with the highest density of red dots is the place closely related to the Mark of Original Sin.

"Camisia, hold on to me."

"Yes."

Holding Camisia's hand, Ella couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Camisia was obviously a warrior who wielded a giant sword, but surprisingly, there were no calluses on her hands. The temperature was just a little bit high. However, from the bath in the Demon Territory before, the temperature was so high that Menia fainted, but Camisia didn't feel anything at all. It can be seen that the reason why Camisia is not very sensitive to heat is probably because of her high body temperature.

Shaking her head and driving away other thoughts from her mind, Ella set the coordinates to the north of the island, quite close to the sea.
