Episode 77 Move (1)
“What is this bastard?”
Scar frowns, probably because an interruption came in when he was trying to be good.
The scars on his face, which twisted horribly every time his facial expression changed, couldn’t be so disgusting.
The girl’s expression changed to despair.
Why did you come here again?
To her, Ray was her benefactor.
I had to somehow get out of this place.
When Ray appeared, the guard loosened, and the girl covered her body with one hand and pulled the scarred young man’s collar with the other hand.
“huh?”
The young man frowned and looked at the girl, and she shook her head.
It must mean don’t hit.
Scar grins at him.
“Are you saying don’t touch me?”
Nod.
Like his younger brother, he hurriedly nodded as if he could not speak.
“ha ha ha! good night. If you swear to never obey my words, I’ll let that bastard go.”
I am a child to someone who would have lived twice as long as me.
That word doesn’t even make me laugh.
Hana girl nodded her head slowly with a more serious expression than anyone else.
Ray looked at her.
I can see that her hands and feet are shaking.
Conversely, the young man’s hand also came into view.
Not to mention shivering, I am quite confident.
No, if you look closely, you can see a small leather pouch.
Whether it was a leather pouch or a golden pouch, it had nothing to do with herself.
One problem is that the bag looks very similar to the money bag he threw to the girl.
“Did it get stolen?”
When Ray asked as he tucked into his pocket, the girl nodded hard again.
Nodding –
A sigh comes out from that honest look.
Ray shook his head and walked forward.
Then he grabbed the girl’s hand and pulled it towards himself.
“Ugh…”
I was surprised and a voice came out, but the voice was quite incoherent.
The scars made his stern impression even worse.
The already vicious impression now resembles that of Sura-do.
“Catch that bastard.”
Feeling very upset, he ordered the young men around him.
“yes.”
Young people surrounded Ray.
That look is somehow funny.
The trolls from earlier surrounded themselves in this way.
It couldn’t have been so funny to see people threatening him who would be troubled by an orc, let alone a troll.
The young people also wrinkled their faces, as if they didn’t like it more.
They rushed in with the intention of immobilizing Ray’s body.
However, the movement was not that of a beginner.
I felt like I was being trained.
Those who tried to use their joints skillfully and restrain their body were not techniques that the back alley bastards could use.
It was clear that something else was involved on top of these.
Ray immediately turned around and swung his fist.
Jjoeok –
Can a person make this kind of sound when they are hit? Indeed, the human body can be said to be mysterious.
The young man who was hit in the face flew backwards faster than the speed at which he rushed.
Kwaang-
Seeing him collapsing against the wall of the building that was all crumbling down, the rest of the young men stopped running and gulped down their saliva.
It sounded like someone’s face would have been smashed.
Just by looking at the clothes he was wearing and his face, I thought he was an ignorant nobleman, but now I see that he is not.
How can a person be blown away with one punch?
He glanced at the scar with a grin, as if he hadn’t intended to end there.
“Hey Scar. Is that my money bag? yes?”
His name, now dismissed as a scar, opened his mouth.
Hey, now that I think about it, there was no way that a girl living on the street could have saved this much money.
That money is money given to you by someone. It is a self-evident fact that it is the money of the monster in front of you.
Ray looked at the young man and smiled sinisterly.
It was as if the devil was smiling at him, asking for his soul.
“Take out all your money, you bastards. Hehehe.”
The saint’s spying (?) has begun.
* * *
Says (?)
“Oooh…” and slightly pulls his collar.
A look of concern was evident in his cold eyes.
Ray looked at the girl and smirked.
“It’s okay if I follow you.”
Even so, I couldn’t leave the two girls unattended on that street.
Something more serious than now may happen.
After all, there were many places to stay in one’s mansion.
Only 12 people live in a place comparable to the size of a castle.
It was ten servants, one Zeke, and himself.
It wouldn’t be a problem if there were two more people there.
It wasn’t supposed to be there…
* * *
“I’m sorry, but I can’t.”
Eucliwood said firmly.
How could he be so resolute after coming with a hard carriage for two days? Do you mean to be the owner of a sweet pumpkin farm?
Ray was quite taken aback by the unexpected situation.
“This is a sacred place where saints of all generations have lived. There’s no way we can bring in people we don’t even know from.”
“Isn’t it okay if the saint residing there now asks for it?”
“Sorry, but no.”
Only the same words as the first came back.
“Is it going to be Zeke?”
“He is a member of the three families that serve the Holy Son. If there is permission from the Holy Son, there is no problem with taking it in.”
“Haa…”
A sigh came out.
Can’t we just bring them here and tell them to get through it again?
Ray took out a money bag and plundered (?) money from his bosom.
Even if it was plunder, it was all three silver coins.
He sighed again and handed the money to them.
“Whoa… I’m sorry. As I just said, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to stay here…”
When I said it clearly, the two of them shook their hands.
He brought them out of that dark place and rescued them in times of danger.
What’s more, the place she brought her to was a place she knew well.
Cellonia, which I had only heard of through rumors.
I looked around and was happy with that ecstatic figure.
Even though he felt that he had no place to stay among them, he was satisfied just by looking at him.
Even if they went back to Gehel now, there was no regret.
However, he entered the enormous castle like a prince.
Just by looking at him, the guards fell to their knees, and even the nobles, who seemed so lofty, bowed their heads deeply.
What is the alternative identity?
Those who beat and trampled on him in the alleys of Gehel treated him as if it were natural, but the one who was respected by everyone only apologized to himself and bowed his head.
It felt like the world without light was dyed in bright colors with just that one word.
For some reason, if it was now….
I got over the terrible pain and strained my neck.
With a troubled expression, he spat out just one word.
“are you okay.”
She, who had lost her voice since she was five years old, spoke for the first time.
Even after she spoke, she held her neck as if surprised.
* * *
Five figures were seated at a round table.
Among them, a person wearing a brown robe said.
“I feel that the time has come, but…”
Beginning with his words, many words poured out.
“Rather than destroying the Seongguk, it seems like they’re just getting by on their own these days, right?”
It sounded like he was reprimanding someone.
The blue robe cleared his throat at that slightly sarcastic expression.
“Keuheum… I didn’t know the situation would turn out like this either. No matter how much the profit is so high…”
The brown robe clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk. Do you think we do this for profit? The problem now is the importance of the Holy Kingdom to the surrounding kingdoms.”
“…the proportion?”
Looking at the figure in the brown robe, the blue robe asked, and the black robe next to it answered.
“…It’s because of the mercenary priests. In order to borrow them, the powerless kingdoms around them have no choice but to look good to the holy kingdom…”
If he was a mercenary priest, he knew that well.
Their share on the battlefield was enormous.
Think of those who only heal in the rear, but gain strength from a single moment of treatment and jump into the battlefield again.
The momentum that he pushed forward as if he had several lives was truly amazing.
It has been proven that the priests are needed on the battlefield, so if there is a big fight, they want to look good in the eyes of the Holy Land in order to borrow them at least once.
Who the hell would have thought of such a thing?
“Could it be that the pope has a mercenary priest…?”
The brown robe answered as if he had noticed his muttering.
“Think carefully. Could the naive pope come up with something like a combat priest? Absolutely not. Clearly there must be someone else. Thinking of raising the national power of the Holy Kingdom while keeping the neighboring kingdoms in check… I don’t know who it is, but they must have a pretty useful brain.”
The red robe, which had been silent, lit up its eyes at his words.
“You dare to delay the plan… Crap. That child must be punished.”
“no. I can’t delay any longer. Why don’t we proceed as is?”
The blue robe spoke at the words of the brown robe.
“But it is still early. Now that the power of the Holy Kingdom has become this much stronger…”
“We can’t delay any longer! Are you going to wait and see if the Holy Kingdom gets stronger like this!”
“….”
“No matter what everyone thinks, we will move.”
As the brown robe stood up, the black robe also stood up.
“…let us move too.”
He raised himself up to the red robe.
“Cluck. If you leave like that, what will become of those who remain? I move too.”
As long as more than half of them stood up at the round table, the answer was already out.
The blue and gold robes also rose from their seats.
As he said, he couldn’t just wait like this.
If they wait until the Seongguk slows down, they will not be able to achieve their plans.
If he was going to move, it was better to move fast enough that no one would notice.
It was only after a little more time had passed that Seongguk knew that each of the five forces at the round table had begun to move.
* * *
Ray himself arranged a home for them in Celonia.
Also, if you lose money, it’s a big deal.
A reasonably sized two-story house.
The first floor below was used for the shop, and this floor was for the girls to use.
Because that way you can continue to make money.
Seeing her wearing her own clothes ever since he saved her, I thought I should buy some clothes as well.
It’s because I can’t let it go on like this forever.
Buy a house and open a store. After buying the clothes, she put on an expression of disbelief.
Somehow, the look on his face made him happy.
The first time she spoke, I was speechless.
I felt a little clumsy, but isn’t it better than not being able to speak at all?
I couldn’t tell if my brother wasn’t talking or not.
