244. I have to live on.
“The temple is gone.”
“So…”
“Can we go home now?”
The children who came out stared blankly at the disappeared temple. It’s hard to believe that he managed to escape after being trapped for so long.
“Yes. The officials are all buried.”
Seunghyun Kang gave an appropriate answer and turned his back. You wouldn’t even know that these kids existed, let alone track them down.
“Thank you… Thank you very much.”
The eldest child cried and opened his mouth. Until now, I had suppressed it, but now my eyes were moist, as if I thought there was no reason to hold back.
“But what about the uncle who was with me?”
“You didn’t come out… did you?”
The delighted children finally realized that Kim Ho-jung was not there and opened their mouths.
“hmm.”
Seunghyun Kang glanced at the garbage bag he was holding. Of course, this isn’t garbage, it’s a black beast, and now it seems to be asleep from exhaustion.
“I am sleeping.”
Kang Seung-hyun answered truthfully, but he said,
“But why aren’t you coming…”
“Hey, stop asking! Can’t you just see it?”
“That old man fell into an eternal sleep while saving us.”
“May you live happily in heaven, uncle.”
“Bye Bye.”
The kids remembered Kim Ho-jung, who was alive and well, wiping away tears, probably accepting that ‘we lied on purpose so that we wouldn’t be sad…!’.
‘By the way, this isn’t the time to hang out leisurely here.’
Seunghyun Kang clicked his tongue and looked around.
“What the hell is going on?”
“Okay, let’s come. Wasn’t there some kind of terrorism?”
“Some say that a boss monster appeared inside the church and destroyed it.”
As the news of the collapse of the Great War spread all over Ladia, onlookers were flocking to it.
“Should I report on this?”
“Ia Aiber…”
Among them were priests belonging to other denominations who visited Radaia.
‘If I don’t want to bother getting caught, I’ll have to go somewhere else soon.’
I’m currently not feeling well, so I need to find a place to rest quickly, but the biggest problem is the children I rescued.
[I feel light divine power around the wound.]
[I feel light black magic in the wound.]
Dark magic still remains in their bodies.
Right now, he uses the stolen silver horse’s robe to hide it, but if the priest finds out, the situation will escalate.
‘If a guy with dark magic appears in this situation, he won’t be suspected of being the culprit.’
Of course, the culprit is a certain wild healer who has nothing to do with black magic, but there is no way that the priests of Azul continent have the intelligence to detect such a thing.
‘I can’t go to an inn in this situation, so sleeping outdoors is the answer?’
Seunghyun Kang lightly clicked his tongue.
Looking up at the sky, I saw dark clouds gathering.
‘Tsk I wanted to at least stay indoors.’
It was the moment when I was so worried.
As Kang Seung-hyun watched the group of onlookers, a familiar figure entered his field of vision.
‘That bountiful body must be…’
Although he hid his face with a robe, he was unmistakably a priest of Louis. He met Kang Seung-hyun’s eyes and shouted in disgust.
“Hey, how are you? Were you still alive?”
“Is Priest Louis really still alive?”
“Shh shh! quiet! Don’t call me by name.”
Priest Lewis glanced around and pressed down on his robe.
“What if others find out?”
“How are you? The church is also ruined, so there’s no need for pursuers anymore.”
“That’s not it, didn’t the other high-ranking priests just disappear? I don’t know if I have to deal with this matter, so I’m thinking of hiding for a while.”
Rather than leading the rest of the priests, he was afraid to take on a troublesome task, so he planned to remain silent until the situation calmed down.
‘As expected, he’s a consistent piece of trash.’
At this point, there is an exclamation, not a curse.
If there had been a follower of Zumare in this place, he would have grabbed him right away.
“Now that it’s like that, I’m thinking of going to rest for a few years under the excuse of illness. After that, I quietly retired and even received a pension.”
“is that so.”
“I heard that far away Camar is the safest city in the West where it has never been in danger, so I will have to sit down for two or three years.”
Priest Louis rubbed his chin with a satisfied smile.
How can there be all this great trash?
“Are you leaving right now?”
“I don’t want to leave right away, but I’m thinking of preparing here for a few days before leaving.”
“Oh yeah? That’s great.”
Hearing that, Kang Seung-hyun smiled.
‘There’s no way a person like this could stay at an inn.’
Originally, the principle is for priests to live in a dormitory within the church, but a greedy priest like this would have prepared at least one expensive and nice house.
“Let’s take care of ourselves for a few days.”
“what?”
“Please put me and these kids to bed.”
“No!”
“Don’t do that.”
“Kids hate it by nature, and you are uncomfortable!”
Priest Lewis, of course, expressed his reluctance.
Of course, he wasn’t Kang Seung-hyun, who would resign meekly.
“Then I will sing loudly that Father Lewis is here.”
“what?”
“The believers will be very happy, right? They will flock in and ask questions, ask about the whereabouts of the other high-ranking priests, and people from other denominations will also come to visit, so the priest won’t be able to take a day off and just work. Even without pay.”
“Ei-i-i-ik!”
“You choose. Would you like to be dragged away and taken care of? Or would you like to hide quietly with us?”
Priest Louis shuddered and answered with gritted teeth.
“Okay, okay. I’ll let you all stay.”
“yes? I can’t hear you. What is it?”
“I’ll lend you a room, so please lower your voice!”
“Then I’ll take care of you.”
“Follow me…”
Priest Lewis guided Kang Seung-hyeon and his party with a haggard face.
-“This way.”
after about 1 hour.
Kang Seung-hyun and his party arrived at the villa of Pastor Louis, located on the outskirts of Radia.
“Wow…”
“I can’t believe I have such a pretty house!”
“It’s just like the king’s palace!”
“No, it’s the princess castle!”
It was so large and splendid that it was more like a mansion than a villa.
“This neighborhood has a nice view and is far from the city center, so it has long been used as a resort for the nobles of Radaia.”
According to Priest Lewis, all the high-ranking priests of the Zmaile Church have bought villas around here.
“It’s nice to be quiet.”
“Because it’s not the holiday season right now.”
“Even during the holiday season, if they heard the news that the church had collapsed, they would have all rushed.”
rattle.
Seunghyun Kang opened the door closest to him.
The room was very spacious and I could see the beautiful garden through the terrace.
‘It’s a typical villa for nobles.’
A large bed, a sofa table, a white sculpture, a picture of a stuffed deer, and a bookshelf full of books that looked like they were new and hadn’t been read.
The room was full of objects that exuded luxury.
‘The other rooms will be the same, so let’s just sleep here.’
Kang Seung-hyun sat down on the center sofa.
It’s a bonus that I put down the black beast I was holding next to me.
“Please bring me some clothes to change into. Something that is not visible to people.”
“what? Are you asking me to bring it?”
“…Then, as a patient and not familiar with the structure of the house, should I go?”
“Okay, okay! You can bring it!”
Priest Lewis grumbled a little and left.
‘I’ll have to live here until my body recovers.’
Kang Seung-hyeon treated his body until Priest Lewis returned. By activating the [Eye of Observation] to align and fix the twisted bones, and to find and remove foreign objects stuck in the body.
“Oi, waist!”
“Are you here?”
“Now, I brought you a change of clothes!”
After a while, Father Lewis returned with a basket of clothes.
“I’m not sure about the size, so wear it yourself.”
“Thank you.”
“This is a room key, so use whatever room you like, and food is stored in the dining room and warehouse, so take care of it yourself…” “
Ah, yes, thank you.”
Louise tried hard to explain like the owner of the pension, but Kang Seung-hyun was busy taking care of his body, so he answered casually.
“So, do you need anything more? I want to go back to my room and take a nap, so if you are there, tell me now.”
“well. What?”
“Well, Radia’s situation isn’t good right now, but if you use your personal connections, you can call at least one healer.”
“I will take care of my wounds.”
With the help of a healer, a wound like this could be healed quickly, but Kang Seung-hyun had no intention of doing that.
‘I’m a famous healer, but I’ll have to take care of this level of injury on my own.’
Kang Seung-hyun relaxed and wrapped the bandage.
“Then I’ll just go. Don’t call me unless my life is at stake. I’ll take care of it.”
Click!
Louis hurriedly ran away to see if he would run another errand.
“Shall we play here for about three days?”
Kang Seung-hyun finished wrapping the bandage and lay down on the sofa.
‘I came all the way here to get a heel, but I got something else.’
“□●!”
The moment I lay down without much thought, I heard the familiar crackling sound from underneath.
It was only then that he remembered leaving the black beast on the sofa earlier.
“{Oh sorry. I forgot.}”
“{It hurts.}”
I looked down and saw a distorted black beast crawling helplessly under the sofa.
‘It feels like waste water flowing down the drain.’
Looking at that stupid figure, I can’t believe it’s the same monster I faced earlier.
‘What is the identity of a black beast in the first place?’
Kim Ho-jeong, who has a cheat ability to revive from the dead, is a scammer who can transform a body that has resistance to all kinds of attributes freely by turning it into a monster that chews up a sizeable dimension mover.
‘Even the priests and black magicians inflict tremendous damage…’
I’ve never heard of such an existence until now.
“{Sorry about that…}” “
{Huh? What is it?}”
“{I went crazy and couldn’t speak, but right after I died and came back to life, my body ran wild… At that time, I couldn’t think of anything.}”
As Kang Seung-hyun thought, Kim Ho-jeong was insane right after her resurrection.
It seemed that he couldn’t even remember his actions in the first place.
“{Please tell me more.}”
