Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 1702: Accusations already

Chapter 1702: Accusations already

Once all of the lava golems were taken care of, the first thing that anyone did was…

“Did you lead us here on purpose?” The leader of the Democratic Union group immediately threw his accusations at me.

I didn’t respond, I just simply narrowed my eyes to look at him before saying, “Why do you think that this is the case?”

“You knew exactly where to go and you seemed to know what you were looking for. How can you explain any of that unless you already knew what was going to happen?”

“That’s right!”

“We were watching you the entire time!”

“You can’t just deny this!”

As soon as his voice fell, the supporters of the Democratic Union immediately spoke up. These were the leaders of the small and medium sized kingdoms that had sent groups, but those groups were under the Democratic Union.

The way that they were supporting him was their way of attacking me through these accusations.

“So by walking in the places that didn’t have any lava in them, I knew exactly where I was going? By keeping a keen eye on our surroundings, that is continued knowing what to look for?” I asked back without any hesitation or guilt.

The leader of the Democratic Union hesitated for a second before saying, “What about when we were fighting those things? Every attack that you used hit the cores of the ones that you were aiming for. It’s clear that you knew exactly how to deal with them and didn’t tell anyone else.”

“I was busy maintaining the barrier that was around us, so I didn’t shoot that many icicles in the first place. As for the reason why I was able to hit the cores, you should ask the magicians of the Sorcery Empire since they were doing the same thing.”

As soon as my voice fell, one of the magicians came forward to say, “That’s right. His majesty was using the same technique as us to find the core.”

The leader of the Democratic Union turned to look at this magician with a doubtful look.

Seeing this, the magician went on to explain what that technique was.

It was actually quite a simple explanation, but it was also very solid so there was nothing that the leader of the Democratic Union group could say in response.

The technique was just a simple mana sensing technique.

Since the cores of these lava golems were magic items that were used to create these lava golems, it meant that they gave off a mana signature.

As long as a magician is skilled enough, they would be able to follow these mana signatures and figure out where the core of these lava demons were. Once they found the core, all it would take is one powerful attack to break through the bodies of the lava demons and hit the core.

“I have to admit that his majesty’s techniques are even better than my own and I’ve been training in magic for many years now.” The magician added at the end of his explanation which was something that the other magicians nodded in agreement to.

I could see the looks of admiration that were cast in my direction, but that just made me feel awkward since it wasn’t the same for me.

The reason that I could sense the location of the core was because my mana senses were sharper than the average person after I purified my body. So it wasn’t that I was more skilled in the technique than they were, it was just that my mana senses were better.

But it wasn’t as if I could actually tell them that, so I had to accept this admiration that came from them.

Once they had finished explaining this, it looked like the leader of the Democratic Union was stumped.

There really wasn’t anything that he could say since every accusation that he had made had already been refuted. At the same time, this was a cooperative environment between the racial alliance, so it was already pushing it to make these accusations.

If he were to push this issue, there was no doubt that it would create an international incident between the Democratic Union and the other countries.

So he had no choice but to drop this matter…even if he didn’t seem willing.

I knew that the reason that he made this accusation was for a different reason.

What the leader of the Democratic Union group wanted to do was pull out of this place since it was dangerous.

In his eyes, he had already gotten more than enough information and it was enough for the Democratic Union to start planning on how to get the resources in this place. Any further would just be giving more information to the others and that would harm their plans.

But I wasn’t going to let things go their way.

“Everyone, since we’ve encountered these lava golems here, it means that there’s something more dangerous down below.”

The eyes of the leader of the Democratic Union group lit up when he heard this since he thought that this was his opportunity. It was a pity that this was anything but that since I wasn’t done yet.

“These lava golems are clearly being controlled by something. We can see that they were made with cores, so they were created by something else. That means that there’s something more dangerous further in.”

Everyone immediately knitted their brows when they heard this before taking a closer look at the cores that were scattered around us.

Even those that had minimal knowledge of magic could tell that these cores were magic items that had been used to create these lava golems.

Once they were done, I continued, “Since we haven’t had any problems so far, we should continue pushing deeper into this place to see if we can find any more information about the thing that created the lava golems.”

Everyone immediately agreed when they heard this, including those from the Democratic Union.

When everyone agreed, they really couldn’t say anything in response…

So they had no choice but to come along as well.

It was still too early for him to try and mess with me.

I had things that I had planned for the Democratic Union group later.
