Episode 42 Changed Journey (1)
Ray was stunned again.
My last thought was cancellation. It wasn’t that Iriel didn’t say something because he thought of it.
This is obviously the revenge of the grass clip incident. His own intuition told him so.
Why don’t you come to greet me in the morning, let alone say hello, and why don’t you keep smiling in front of the door?
As evidence of that, she was smiling now.
“Whoop… Whoop…”
He calmed his bubbling head through the Ramada breathing method.
I couldn’t think of anything bad. Yes. Didn’t he really have the same heart as the Great Sea?
Ray also smiled at Iriel.
‘See you next.’
* * *
Celia Vi Deogard, the king of Celia Kingdom.
He was sitting on the throne in the audience room.
In front of them, Ray and Iriel slightly lowered their bodies and heads.
It looked different from the prostrate one. At first, Ray tried to lie down, but when Iriel noticed, he took the same posture as her.
Fortunately, the speed was like the wind, so I was able to pass without a word.
The king raised his hand.
“Both of you, raise your head.”
“thank you.”
“…thank you.”
Perhaps because of the intimidation of having the king of a country right in front of him, he felt awkward in his words due to the tension.
“okay. I heard you are going back to the Holy Land today.”
“yes. It is all thanks to His Majesty’s kindness that we can return to the Holy Land. On behalf of the Seongguk, I sincerely thank you.”
“ha ha ha. What did I do? All of them are the power of the Holy Kingdom.”
“no. We received overflowing grace just by allowing us to stay in Celia Kingdom. One day, I will definitely repay this favor.”
“Hmm. Then it’s good for me… By the way, are you the newly chosen saint?”
When the king called him, Ray knew intuitively.
I was trying his bowl. And that too in just a few words.
He bowed his head slightly.
“That’s right. My name is Ray.”
Looking at the nervous yet restrained greeting, the king looked at him with interest.
‘I don’t feel any mana. He seems to have learned his swordsmanship a little, but even that is insignificant. Seeing that he doesn’t have a family name, he must be a commoner.’
Dubbed the King of Knights, Deogard performed the duties of a king while also showing results as a sword master.
That’s why the current Celia kingdom, let alone the Holy Kingdom, could not be seen lightly.
This is because the king’s force leads to the soldiers’ morale.
There was no way he couldn’t read the boy’s mana in front of him.
The mana he felt from him was almost the same as that of a normal person. It wasn’t even a body that showed talent for magic or swords.
Deogard was relieved inside.
‘For the first time in the continent’s history, two adults appeared in one era, so I thought it was a huge tree, but it’s fortunate among the misfortunes.’
The power of the Holy Kingdom should be strong, but if the boy in front of him was enough, he could endure it.
Although a saint came out of his country, he did not like being taken away by the kingdom.
“Nice to meet you. It is also an honor for me to meet a saint and a saint in one place like this.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
“…”
Ray glanced at Iriel and gave a sign with her eyes.
Isn’t it time to go slow? The conversation was also flowing towards the end of the story, so this should have been enough return report.
Iriel also nods slightly to see if he knows.
Just as they were about to say something through the doctor, Deogard opened his mouth.
“Ah, Saint Iriel. Didn’t you just say you would repay the favor?”
something wasn’t good
The flow of conversation was changing rapidly.
Iriel also seemed to have a foreboding feeling, but he had a bright smile on his face.
“That’s right. Is there something wrong with you?”
“Hmm…”
Theogarde took a deep breath and paused.
After about a minute, he sighed again and spoke up.
“Whoa… the daughter of my cousin Archduke Silos is sick. However, let alone cure the disease, it is difficult to know what kind of disease it is. Would you please go see this child?”
In short, let’s use this to repay the favor to ourselves.
At those words, Iriel’s fine forehead twitched slightly.
I have already finished reporting that I will go to the Holy Land. Seongguk prepared for the christening ceremony and was certain to wait eagerly for the new saint.
In the meantime, go see the daughter in the grand duke’s estate? If this happened, the schedule to go to Seongguk would be delayed.
Whether it was for a short time or for a long time.
The position of the person who made the request was a problem to refuse one.
He was neither a count nor a marquis. It was a king.
In addition, their Holy Kingdom owed a debt to Celia Kingdom while searching for the saint, so there was no justification for refusal.
Iriel, who hesitated for a moment and moved his lips, eventually lowered his head.
“…It is not the duty of the Holy Kingdom to refuse His Majesty’s request.”
“ha ha ha! Thank you so much.”
Although he knew the answer in advance, Iriel gritted his teeth as he saw the King laughing happily.
‘Adduk! I got hit.’
Ray shook his head slightly as his bad premonition became reality.
The road to the Holy Land seems to be long. Besides, the place is the territory of the grand duke.
Another country within a country that receives a territory from the king and does not collect taxes separately. That was the Grand Duke’s estate.
The position, which is even called a duke, had only one king at the top, so it was possible to gather individual military power while putting other dukes under their eyes.
For this reason, the territory was also quite large, and it would take three days to travel from the royal capital to the Grand Duke’s territory without stopping by carriage.
If you go to the holy country with treatment there, it will take more than a week no matter how little you catch.
I made up my mind to go to Seongguk, but it feels like something keeps blocking me.
In the end, they had to leave the audience room with their shoulders drooping in response to the King’s decree to celebrate.
Outside the throne room, Ray’s eyes were on Iriel.
I thought I was going to the Holy Land, but I went to the estate of the Archduke Silos.
Moreover, it was because of the affairs of the Holy Kingdom.
“So what are your excuses?”
As I chanted softly, Iriel showed off his unique smile.
“Now you can say that you are also a member of the Holy Kingdom. If you look at it big, it will be an experience of the world, and if you look at it small, it’s a precious time to see how I, as a saint and a saint, handle the divine power…” ”
That precious time is flying by.”
At the passing words, Iriel shrank her head like a frightened turtle.
Ray sighed heavily.
“Whoa… it’s hard to go to Seongguk once.”
“The more adversity there is on the way, the more God…” I let out
a twinkle-
wordless look, and she turned her gaze away, saying, “Aww!”
However, it was something that could not be helped now. I already told the king that I was going, so I had to go anyway.
It is something that cannot be undone.
Fortunately, the principality was located in the direction of the castle.
Thinking of treating a princess on the way to Seongguk is at least comforting.
“Let’s start right now.”
“all right.”
In any case, the contingent has been instructed to prepare for departure. There’s nothing wrong with leaving right away, so Iriel nodded happily.
They hurriedly moved to the guest house. Because I had to report what happened to them again.
* * *
The dispatchers who heard the story were dumbfounded.
I have already completed the return report to the holy kingdom, but I am leaving for the grand duke’s territory. Besides, to treat the gongnyeo.
Their representative, Priest Geol, approached the saintess and said quietly.
“The Holy Lady’s Holy Land is already preparing for the baptism. By the way, you stopped by the grand duke’s manor. That is not to be said.”
Then, Iriel smiled and spoke softly.
“This is the king’s request. I accepted because I couldn’t refuse, so please don’t question me too much.”
“omg! You mean the king!”
Priest Geol jumped up and said.
Usually, those at the top do not ask adults for favors. Because you have to pay a big price for it.
he gulped.
“Then what did you promise in return?”
What did the King of Knights of the Kingdom of Silia say he was going to give him, so he couldn’t refuse the request?
Geol couldn’t help but wonder about it.
The answer that came back was just a smile.
I didn’t know why, so I tilted my head, and Iriel spoke softly again.
“There is no price. You asked for a favor in return for our debt.”
Is it because of my mood that I hear the sound of grinding my teeth?
Priest Geol noticed in the part called ‘debt’.
There was only one debt the Holy Kingdom owed to the Celia kingdom. This is the agreement to search for the saint.
Priest Geol’s expression, after understanding the situation, showed embarrassment.
“…I will send a message to the Holy Land that your return will be delayed.”
“Thank you for noticing.”
Even at the saintess’ words, he couldn’t erase his embarrassment.
It couldn’t have been a very embarrassing request.
For the saint’s first step was to be stopped on the way to the baptism ceremony.
The king probably didn’t know that either. If so, is this an obstruction to the Holy Kingdom or is it an urgent matter?
Geol wished it was never the former.
* * *
The departure was easy because there was a carriage and many horses from the Holy Land.
The magnificent appearance of them leaving the gate must have touched the hearts of all the guards.
The sound of the horse’s hooves shook the earth, and the dignified spirit of the paladins seen above them was admirable even by the same paladins.
Ray was a little amazed at such majesty.
“Awesome.”
Iriel pushed his chest forward and spoke proudly.
“It is all the power of the Holy Kingdom.”
“Okay, grab the rope.”
Ray glanced at her.
He rode behind Iriel as he had come. Someday I’ll have to learn how to ride a horse, but I couldn’t do it now, so I couldn’t help it.
Of course, I want to get some fresh air, so I ride a horse, but if I get tired of that, I plan to ride a carriage.
Iriel also seemed to have no intention of riding a horse for a long time, probably thinking the same thing.
she said with a puzzled expression.
“I can ride with my hands free.”
Feeling that her riding skills had been neglected, she proudly let go of her hands.
Of course, that doesn’t mean they’ll lie down all at once, but it was pretty fast now.
I didn’t know what would happen if I let go.
“Keep your hands off the line! I mean drive safely!”
It was a very important issue for him, who had memories of ending his life by public transportation.
However, she didn’t seem to care. If his riding skills were to be ignored once again, he would stand on his back on a horse.
From now on, I will never look down on her horseback riding again.
Wouldn’t it be too sad if the second life also ended like that?
Iriel covered his mouth with his characteristic smile and laughed.
“Ho-ho-ho. Are you worried about an accident that happens if you leave your hands on it?”
Of course, he doesn’t get hurt as much as he fell off the horse.
However, it is unavoidable that modern memories have settled down as a slight trauma, even if they are not hurt.
Iriel chuckled and laughed out loud.
“If you’re that scared, you’d better hold onto my delicate waist. Ho ho ho ho.”
At that nasty voice, mana filled his fist in an instant.
Priest Geol came to Iriel’s side as his fists gradually rose.
“The sun is setting. How about preparing for homelessness soon?”
She said with a laugh at him.
“All right. Get ready.”
“yes. I will find a suitable terrain and move.”
He bowed his head and said hello, but he thought to himself.
‘This is the first time I’ve seen a saintess who looks so happy.’
It’s always the same that he’s smiling, but unlike before, his smile felt lively.
The appearance was so beautiful that even people who swallowed their saliva were coming out of the lower deck.
However, it was the same with Ray.
There were also quite a few priestesses who blushed at his white hair and blue eyes.
It’s just that he hasn’t stood out in the elven village so far, but his appearance is also quite decent enough to be compared to elves.
Ray’s appearance has unknowingly created a series of organizations in the lower body.
Even now, that organization was wrapped in darkness.
Iriel also noticed its existence.
There was no way that she, always looking at the saint, could not fail to notice the eyes pouring down on him.
But no worries. What is the probability that love between a saint and a priestess will come true?
Besides, I couldn’t imagine that they would seduce Ray.
If you look at the big picture, aren’t they believers who worship the same god?
However, that was her mistake.
