"The scales of victory and defeat?"

"No, it's nothing. Ella-chan, don't worry about it right now."

Iris waved her hand and said with a smile that after confirming Ella's strength, everything disappeared. Iris felt unprecedentedly relaxed. She put her hand to her lips and murmured in a low voice so that no one else could hear.

"The Holy King Council... maybe we should disband it. Being queen of both the Demons and the Gods, what kind of shock would that cause? Just thinking about it makes me anxious. Ella-chan's distressed expression back then..."

Chapter 46: Meeting at Entarosphiel

*Genesis 6187 August 16th 7:13 AM Eastern Demon King City

It is now three days after Ella took Iris away.

The Dragon King Fuos, who arrived at the royal city early and was waiting for the other envoys at the meeting, yawned. Today was the day for the envoys from various countries to discuss how to deal with Entalosfield. Although they were required to be present at 8 o'clock, Fuos had not slept well the whole night, so he was already sitting at the meeting seat in the royal city when the dawn had just illuminated the earth.

The reason is not anything else. No one in the world knows Entalosfiel better than Fuos. You know, he has fought with Entalosfiel before. Not only that, he even deduced that the current Demon King Elelaya is related to Entalosfiel - it is very likely that they are sisters.

Regarding this, Fuos was absolutely sure, and that was why he did not send his men but visited the demons in person. This matter might be related to the future survival of the dragons. Without knowing the plan of the Demon King Elelaya, of course he had to choose to establish a long-term friendly relationship. You know, Entalosfiel was able to catch a giant dragon with his bare hands and throw it into the sea. Even Camisia, who was known as the number one warrior, would probably find it difficult to do this.

Frowning deeply, Fios folded his arms while sitting on the red soft chair, muttering softly.

"But does Elelaya really intend to start a war...? At her coronation ceremony, she said, 'The Dark Ages are about to end, and the history of the demons will change from now on.' In other words, she wants to restore the demons to their former glory. Then—"

A low smacking sound from Fios could be heard in the empty meeting room.

Most people may not know this, but as the Dragon King, Fuos knows very well that the Demon Clan's territory once occupied a vast area of ​​the continent. Now the Bruzea Empire, the Dwarf Territory, the Kingdom of Baris, the Holy Academy, the Papal States, the Kingdoms and the Elf Territory are almost all within the Demon Clan's territory. To restore the original glorious period means to start a war again, which makes Fuos uneasy.

"The relocation of the western demon clan's capital and the current major reforms...are they all preparations for the future?"

Phoas frowned again.

From what he had seen in the Branch of Disaster in the past few days—people's faces were full of smiles, the streets were unusually clean, and guards were patrolling frequently. More importantly, he didn't find any slum-like places in the city. Although some alleys retained ruins and some signs of life, no one went in or out of there, which was puzzling to him.

A city with bright sides must also have a shameful side, but the Branch of Disaster breaks this, which is really amazing. Coupled with the large magical transportation vehicles like birds and dragons flying in the sky from time to time, it can be said to be completely fantastic.

"The smiles on the faces of the people on the street are the kind of expressions only those with hope in life would have. And the fact that they showed no fear when they saw the dragon and that tool called the 'Magic Airship' suggests they've gotten used to this kind of life."

When will a country governed by itself reach this level?

Fios had no idea what was going on. His intuition told him that this day would never come. The sea monster riot alone was enough to make him extremely anxious, not to mention letting his people live in such a luxurious building that was several stories high and had entire walls made of glass.

Perhaps only the bizarre floating island of the Gods and Humans can be compared to it.

Fighting the sleepiness brought on by a sleepless night, Fios rubbed his eyes.

"Ha—no matter what, the purpose this time is to show goodwill. Whatever Elelaya says, we must agree as much as possible without opposing the God-man race."

After confirming this in his mind, Fuos no longer thought about other things. As long as he kept the hierarchical relationship between each other in mind, all his worries would no longer exist. What's more, the demons had helped him when the dragon clan was facing life and death. If he didn't stand on Ella's side at the meeting, even his own people would probably not be able to bear it.

Fios stood up and walked towards the maid outside the door.

"How long will it take?"

"Lord Phoebus, we still have a moment. You may wait in the lounge next door. We will send someone to take care of your needs."

"No, I just want to know who will be representing the demons at the meeting this time, Camisia? Or Dean? As the host, you won't let your advisors preside over it, right?"

"The Demon King will personally attend this meeting, and Lady Lotte Nott will also be present as the messenger."

Feeling a little surprised, Fios, who was dressed in aristocratic clothes, touched his chin.

"The Demon King himself is attending? What a surprise."

Recalling what his subordinates reported to him three days ago, that the Demon King had brought back information about the princess of the God-man tribe from the God-man tribe's envoy, Fios couldn't help but smile.

If the Divine Emissary isn't clever enough and targets the Demon King at this moment, Ntalosviel might attack from behind. But that's fine too. Being able to see Ntalosviel's strength clearly isn't a bad thing for me and the others.

A quarter of an hour later.

In the large hall that can accommodate at least two hundred people, envoys from various countries on the continent are gathered. Among them, the host is the Demon King Elelaya sitting at the top seat, followed by the silver-haired envoy of the God-man tribe sitting on her left, and below her are the elf envoys with pointed ears and wearing leather armor, and the dwarf envoys equipped with metal armor.

Sitting on Ella's right, from top to bottom, were the envoy from the Bruzia Empire, who had a thin figure and was dressed in aristocratic clothes; Eve and her assistant representing the Church of Enstanit of the Papal States; Tifarian from the Kingdom of Baris; and finally, the Dragon King Fios from the Dragon Clan.

This order represents the strength of each country. The Bruzea Empire is opposite to the Gods, followed by the Elves and the Papal States, followed by the Kingdom of Paris, and finally the relatively weak Dwarves and Dragons. Some people may question whether this clear ranking will cause dissatisfaction among the participants, but in fact, such rules apply to any country. If the Dwarves are allowed to sit above the Gods, it would be a joke.

What's more, the envoys had already prepared themselves mentally.

Of course, in addition to these main figures, there were also attendants brought by their respective envoys in the room to record the content of the meeting, but these people stood at the back and would not interfere with the meeting.

After confirming that everyone was present, Lotte, wearing the elven-like attire of "Elves' Tribute," stood beside Ella and spoke slowly.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started. As for introductions, you should have already gotten to know each other before the meeting, so I won't go into detail here. Let's get straight to the point."

Then, Luty repeated the information about Entalosfiel, which roughly said that Entalosfiel was a powerful person who could use tenth-level magic. He used the lost time magic to defeat the Seal of Greed in the Bruzea Empire, and his origin and purpose were still unknown. The level of danger was far greater than that of the Seal of Original Sin, and all countries needed to be vigilant.

"To avoid disputes caused by information asymmetry, could you please explain the information you have?"

"This matter is crystal clear. We must immediately label Ntalosfell as a dangerous entity on par with the Mark of Original Sin. Although she assisted our soldiers in destroying the Mark of Original Sin, this alone does not mean that her position is flawless. The most urgent task is to have bards write legends to let the people know about the evil existence of Ntalosfell."

The first person to speak was a skinny noble from the Bruzea Empire. His thin lips and long, narrow eyes made the word "mean" written all over his face.

Before the lean noble could finish his words, Eve's assistant from the Enstanit Church spoke immediately.

"Isn't this a bit arbitrary? Too extreme. It might anger Entarosphiel."

"Hmph. Our soldiers witnessed Entalosfell appear over the royal city some time ago. If she wasn't pursuing some ulterior motive, why didn't you inform us in advance? The entire royal city is under curfew right now, precisely to prevent Entalosfell from assassinating Your Majesty. If the same thing—Entalosfell—had quietly appeared in the royal cities of your respective nations, you wouldn't be as calm as you are now, would you?"

The words of the lean nobleman set the entire conference table abuzz. They had no idea that such an incident had ever happened in the empire. The Bruzea Empire had its proud Eagle Knights, and once all of them were on alert, not even a fly could get into the protective net. But Entalosfiel easily lurked over the royal city. Thinking of their own country, the envoys suddenly felt as if their king had been stripped naked and put on the chopping block to be slaughtered. It was really creepy.

However, this made Ella worried and she held her forehead quietly. That time, she just wanted to bring Mitis back to the royal city and had no other intentions.

"Also, according to the soldiers who were in the Black Dragon Mountains at the time, Entarosphiel had white wings, which no other race possessed. It's basically confirmed that she's an alien."

"White wings? From what I know, Entarosphiel should be an elf."

Fios, who was sitting at the bottom, leaned half of his body on the table, frowned, and asked.

"Elves? Lord Phoos, do you have any evidence?"

The blond, handsome elf man looked at Fuos. In his opinion, Fuos's words were undoubtedly slandering the elves.

Having also understood this, Fios awkwardly withdrew his upper body from the table.

"I fought Entarosphiel at the beginning of the year. At that time, Entarosphiel had pointed ears like an elf and blue hair, and didn't have the white wings that the Bruzea Empire envoy mentioned."

"Fight? Did Lord Phoebus have a dispute with him? What was the final outcome?"

The imperial envoy's words immediately focused everyone's attention on Fios.

"Well... I'm not in a position to reveal the reason for our fight, but I can say that Entarosphiel defeated me with just one spell, and it was a strange spell I'd never seen before."

Almost at the same time, everyone at the conference table gasped. Although the dragon tribe ruled by Fios was not a very strong country, it did not mean that Fios himself was weak. Fios had the strength of a hero, and everyone present was very clear about this. Defeating Fios with just a magic spell was something that no one who had surpassed the heroic realm could do.

Raising an eyebrow in disbelief, the lean imperial envoy demanded.

"Did Lord Fios get ambushed? How could you be defeated with just one spell?"

"No, it's better to say that I attacked her by surprise, but the result was just as I said before. Before I could react, I was restrained by her magic."

What Fuos didn't say was that what he knew about Entarosphiel and Ella's appearance was almost identical, but there was no benefit in telling it out, and he might even be retaliated against - not to mention that the evidence of forging the Seal of Jealousy was still in the other party's hands, so he rationally chose to keep it secret.

"In that case, can Entarosphiel be considered a mutant monster above level 70?"

"Monster!?"

"Does your Majesty the Demon King have any suggestions?"

The elven man who had come to this conclusion looked at Ella, who had lost her voice.

Ella immediately put her hand to her lips and coughed twice.

"Ahem, I don't have any objections. However, being too arbitrary will affect our future relationship with Entarosphiel. I think it's more appropriate to treat Entarosphiel as an intelligent being with whom we can communicate."

"Since you can communicate, why are you still dodging and refusing to come forward?"

The lean Imperial emissary frowned.

Lotte immediately cleared the field for Ella.

"When one's strength reaches a certain level, it's only natural that one would dislike worldly matters. The reason we haven't communicated until now might be because of some unspeakable hidden secret."

"I reserve my opinion. Regarding an uncontrollable monster capable of using tenth-tier magic, the best way is to eliminate it forever."

The attitude of the imperial envoy made Ella secretly feel fortunate that she did not act too conspicuously when she first came to this world, otherwise she would become the target of public criticism as the imperial envoy had just said.

"Destroy them? Will the Empire be the first to raise the sword?"

Tifarian sneered. Although the Kingdom of Barris and the Bruzea Empire were both human countries, they were neighbors and had been in constant conflict and dislike for each other. This was particularly evident in similar meetings.

"...Our Empire alone can't completely resolve this, so we need your assistance. Furthermore, if you were confident you could defeat Entarosfiel, you wouldn't be here, would you? Being able to wield tenth-tier magic is something even Queen Elrislan of the God-Human Tribe hasn't achieved."

"I'm more concerned about Entarosphiel's identity than that. Your Majesty Fous previously said she was an elf, but such a person has never appeared in our clan's history. Your Majesty Fous, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"Impossible. When I asked if Ntalosphiel was an elf, she didn't deny it."

"Lord Phoebus, are you saying I'm lying?!"

The lean imperial envoy looked at Fios with an indescribable sharpness in his eyes.

Sensing the atmosphere of dispute, the God-Human envoy, Crown, interrupted the conversation and calmed the Imperial envoy down.

"Calm down for a moment. I don't think either of you has any reason to deceive us. Regarding the race issue, it might be a disguise. There can't possibly be two people from Entalosfell at the same time, right? Entalosfell's strength is the key point we need to discuss. In my opinion, tenth-tier magic might be a bit alarmist. For now, it's more appropriate to treat Entalosfell as a legion of ten thousand magic casters."

Chapter 47: A worrying depression

"Ten thousand people?"

"Well, that's also what our council thinks. For now, we consider Entarosviel to be someone whose strength rivals the magic chanter corps led by Queen Ellislan."

"Since even the God-Humans, who know magic best, say so, we have no objections, but how do you all plan to respond? We can't just sit there and wait for them to come, right?"

With his arms folded, the lean envoy of the empire leaned back in the soft chair, as if waiting for others' opinions.

Things seemed to be moving in a good direction. Ella, who had been struggling with how to start speaking, straightened up.

"Can't we just treat Ntarosviel as someone without ill intentions? ——I mean, if Ntarosviel doesn't actually mean to harm anyone, wouldn't our proactive actions annoy her and have the opposite effect?"

Of course, even if other countries really implement a strategy of excluding Entarosfield, I will not do anything to them. The reason I say this is just to prevent other countries from doing meaningless things. If they suffer losses due to their excessive vigilance - especially if unrelated people are implicated, I will feel bad.

"Your Majesty, are you suggesting that we just ignore her? What will you do if Ntalosviel sneaks into town and uses eighth-tier magic? While I don't think Ntalosviel will target our clan, we must still be vigilant."

The person who spoke was a silent dwarf messenger with a thick beard. There was so much flesh on his face that his eyes were squeezed between the pieces of flesh.

Seeing that Ella's words were rejected, Dragon King Phoos immediately spoke with a very serious expression.

"Can we stop Ntalosviel by taking any measures? She can use eighth-level magic on her own, and she has strange infiltration abilities. If Ntalosviel really wants to do something, I don't think anyone can stop her, right?"

Fuos' words silenced the entire venue. Just as he said, if Entalosfiel really wanted to do something, even if someone could deal with it, they would not be able to react in the first time. This kind of sneaky trace was more terrifying than tens of thousands of troops.

After a few tens of seconds of silence, the elf messenger began to ease the atmosphere.

"While we can't stop N'Tarosviel, we can't just ignore her. If possible, we should send someone to try to communicate with her while improving our communication network. If we find any trace of N'Tarosviel, we should immediately inform the others. How about that?"

"As long as the threat posed by Entarosferrar can be resolved, the Bruzea Empire has no objection—this is your Majesty's will."

"In other words, as long as we can contact Ntarosviel and find out the purpose of her actions, that will be enough, right?"

As Ella made her own plans, she came to the conclusion that she had come here to prevent the issue from developing in a bad direction. If it could be resolved as she had said, it would be perfect - as long as she appeared in any country as Entarosphiel, there would be no problem.

The topic had reached this point, and it was time to express one's position. Ruthie, who was presiding over the meeting, clapped her hands.

"So, do you think the elven envoy's proposal is acceptable?"

"Your Majesty the Demon King is too merciful. If beings like Entarosviel are not restrained, they will one day become a threat to us."

The envoy from the Dwarf Territory sighed helplessly.

"But at this point, there's no other choice. We can only treat it as something on par with the Seal of Original Sin. We, the Dwarf Leader, have no objection."

"same."

Following closely behind the dwarf messenger, Eve also agreed in a tone lacking emotion.

"The Dragon Tribe approves this proposal."

"...The Kamito leader has no objections either."

Even the lean envoys of the Empire did not raise any objection, and everyone unanimously approved the proposal to establish a communication network among each other while getting in touch with Entarosphiel.
