Episode 133
Fight!
Rain of arrows from the sky.
The thick spears in the hands of the knights on horseback threaten them.
It’s been a week since Voitra’s forest burned down.
The Imperial Army still targeted them.
To be precise, a pure white pilgrim.
I mean Colliers.
Chow! visor!
After cutting off the flying arrow with his sword, Callius tugged at the reins.
Tadadak!
Arrows were stuck in the spot, and the spears of the knights who didn’t miss the chance aimed at him.
Hwaaaak!!
Throws a spear with swollen muscles.
After leaving the knight’s hand, the spear shot like an arrow and aimed at the chest of Colius.
The timing was right, and the strength and skill of the javelin were also respected.
The moment he left his hand, the knight thought.
His own spear will pierce his chest.
“Uwachaa!”
However, the world was not so easy.
Wasn’t the short pilgrim suddenly jumping up and swinging a giant hammer to ricochet the knight’s spear at once!
“what!”
Not only.
puck! Puff!
“Ouch!”
“Keugh!”
The arrows shot at the wrong place by the pilgrim who pulled several bowstrings pierced the hearts of the soldiers and knights.
Among them, there were those who suddenly burned.
The magic beast that suddenly appeared from the rear covered the soldiers with lightning and slashed them.
The lizards holding spears in front of them were playing around as if they were going to attack as if they were going to run away, and they would pierce through the bones one by one.
“Retreat, retreat…! Kuck!”
Just as he was about to give the order to retreat.
Suddenly, a pure white pilgrim who had surpassed the soldiers swung his sword.
As soon as the sword comes out of the scabbard.
spam.
The sword light on a straight line seemed to shine, and the knight’s neck rolled down.
Pooh!
The blood that splashed like a fountain dried up before I knew it, and the pieces of meat also turned into mummies.
“Ughhhhh!”
Again the Imperial army retreated.
Fifty soldiers and eight knights came, but they were no match for the four pilgrims and one witch.
clap.
A pure white pilgrim who puts his sword back into its scabbard. Callius whistled.
Then, as if his horse had been waiting for it, he came and picked up Colius.
“Can a pilgrim ride a horse?”
A lizard that hits the ground with its tail.
It was Philomatur, the chief of the Yongin tribe.
He escaped from the Yongin tribe and accompanied Colius’ party.
At first, he did not have much affection for the tribe and followed them, saying that he liked to travel.
No one knew that Colliers had a big part in that decision.
“There is no law that says you have to walk on your feet just because you are on a pilgrimage. After all, the meaning of pilgrimage is also to find oneself.”
“Lactus-sama didn’t say that. Aldu, is your god a bit strange?”
When he was serving as the chief of the tribe, he was quite dignified, but he had no such thing when he threw away the heavy burden.
Tail cutting phyllo.
Like his rather frivolous nickname, his usual way of speaking was very light.
“Don’t slander other gods with Philo. The sons of the tundra will hit your head with a hammer.”
As if looking at the arrogance of a young man, Aldu said it sometimes sternly but kindly. It was as if he was treating Philo like a son.
“Arveto didn’t say anything about the pilgrimage.”
The elf Serena didn’t change her expression as much as usual.
However, when she glanced at Colliers, her expression became colorful.
“Was the sword god Balterus?”
“right.”
“The Sword Master is a generous person.”
Callius raised his eyebrows at Philo’s nonsensical words, and answered.
“If you can say many things just by riding a horse, then you must be narrow-minded.”
“urg!”
Leaving the distraught Philo alone, Callius asked while looking at the town in sight.
“Likiman. Am I right?”
“The location is right. Looking at the mark on this paulownia tree, only Reiki is correct.”
“It’s rural.”
“Thirty years ago it was rural… It’s quite prosperous!”
Likey only.
Originally, it was just a small village, so it was a village where travelers stayed for a while.
It was said that the main income was the small pockets of travelers, but that changed over time.
‘It’s a moderately large town.’
It was a halfway impression, but the village itself was nothing special.
It seemed to be a village with moderately large buildings and mainly farming, but what is a little unusual is that there is one building with a slightly different style at the center.
After walking for a while, Colius realized that the building was Rose’s Smile.
‘Is it a place to eat and live as Changgwan?’
There was nothing very surprising about it.
It was not unusual in the background of the era.
Everyone’s way of living is different.
“Then get enough and come back. We’ll arrange a separate lodging for you.”
“It’s because I have something to hand over, so reserve my lodging.”
“Callis? There’s no need to flirt. It must be shameful for the boss of the company to hold a woman in his arms.”
Serena choked him at the sight of Philo touching his shoulder.
“Keck!”
“Don’t be rude. Philo.”
“Ah Okay! Got it!”
“I will be waiting for you.”
“okay.”
Shi-eun is a pretty strange setting.
It is not even expressed as a quest.
This lies in the uniqueness of poetry.
It is the sorrow of the dead that achieves mercy.
In order to release the core resentment, the grudge corresponding to it must be fulfilled.
It can be light or very heavy.
Those who have obtained grace will relieve their grudge by fulfilling it instead and receive a proper reward.
‘That’s poetry.’
However, it is quite difficult to resolve the grudges of the object by indirectly experiencing the recall that emerges abstractly.
As a result, Colius has failed many times, even though he has received several favors.
There were things that I couldn’t solve, and there were many things that I couldn’t figure out what the hell it was.
And this poem was also similar.
‘I don’t know if I can just bring it to you or what else.’
When considering past experience.
It seemed like I was hoping for a little more.
He saw a woman and a place, but Colleas thought it wasn’t just what he wanted.
feelings from him.
Because it wasn’t that simple.
“Are you a guest?”
“I see pilgrims need to loosen their lower garments too. chuckle!”
They were the guards guarding the window.
Ignoring the nonsensical joke, I asked.
“Where is Veronica?”
“veronica? hey bro Did you hear the rumors? Looking for the most prostitute with a rose smile… but what to do? She’s off today.”
“I mean off-duty.”
Callius sighed.
It is difficult from the start.
“Why are you looking for Veronica?”
“Hey Kid. Don’t interfere.”
A girl who came out from among the guards boldly crossed her arms and asked.
“What about me but Veronica? The body that will become the best rose in the future.”
The bold words of the girl made Colius’ eyes narrow.
“I have something to pass on to Veronica.”
“Not through A.A. Even so, he wasn’t the only one who tried to make me fall. No matter how prostitute you are, you can’t let it go on its own. Besides, Veronica is the best flower in Liki. refuse.”
“Yes bro. There are a lot of other flowers, so stop and pick other flowers…”
The moment he tries to push his shoulder.
Colius’s hand snapped his wrist and knocked him over in one fell swoop.
Smack!
“uh?”
Even though he broke his wrist from the fall, the guard’s eyes frowned at once as he didn’t know what had happened.
“Because you say nice things, this bastard…!”
At close range, he draws his sword from his waist and aims for the shoulder of Callius.
They were guys with spears in their hands and swords at their waists.
It was not difficult for Callius to grab his sword between his fingers.
“What!”
While he was frightened by the sight of Colius, who caught the sword with both hands with his fingers. He broke the guard’s dang gang.
dump.
I ask, looking down at the guard who falls in surprise.
“Where is Veronica?”
“Follow me! I will guide you!”
Between the guards who can’t open their mouth like honey-eaten mutes.
the courtesy girl exclaimed.
“Guide me.”
“huh!”
* * *
Smart.
“veronica! me chris! The guests are here! Open the door!!”
The girl’s name was Chris.
The rather shabby house outside the window was Veronica’s house, but no matter how many times I knocked on it, I couldn’t hear it.
“veronica! Philip is here!”
Let the girl talk nonsense.
Finally, a voice was heard from inside the house.
Sigh.
It was a woman with light brown hair flowing like a waterfall.
There was a cigarette in one hand, but as soon as he saw the girl and Callius, he lit it right away and nodded as if to come in.
“…I’m off work today. chris. Why did you bring it?”
“Like a Veronica guest. trust me! It’s not a person who came for work.”
The girl whom I introduced as Chris quickly left the house.
He was a smart kid.
Callius looked at her and immediately handed over a sword from his bosom.
It was a rather short heavy sword.
It’s just a sword with no special impressions.
“It’s Philip.”
The sword’s name is Philip.
It was the name of a dead man who possessed mercy.
“Hah’s bastard again. How are you?”
“…what do you mean?”
“Isn’t that bastard owed money in my name again? Damn it. Let’s hear how much. How much is it?”
It was doubtful whether the woman who had crumpled her arrogance as if she was annoyed was indeed a prostitute.
‘A prostitute who pays back money instead.’
It was amazing.
“How much?”
“This is Philip.”
“?”
Both Veronica and Chris saw the sword.
He tilted his head as if he didn’t understand, but soon his expression changed.
So, said Colliers once more.
“It’s Philip.”
“Dead?”
“dead.”
“…”
Veronica was silent for a while.
Then I brushed my hair.
“What else do you mean?”
“No.”
“I see. yes i know go.”
The two might have been lovers, but it didn’t seem to be the case.
There was no change in facial expression.
‘Why did Philip remember this woman when he died? Was it a hogu?’
I wondered if it would be completed if I handed it over to her, but it wasn’t.
Maybe a little research is needed.
“What’s up? Didn’t you do this?”
The actions of a naughty little boy.
Callius frowned.
“I didn’t.”
“Then what are you here for?”
“I know Philip.”
Chris had been talking about Philip to wake Veronica.
“Philip? That idiot Phillip?”
“Was it a jerk?”
“It was a jerk. Because he was the one who made a lot of noise that he would welcome Reiki’s only flower as a maid.”
“Were you in a relationship?”
“When it comes to lovers, what kind of flower and who is dating? Couldn’t you have heard a strange feeling while coming and going?”
It seemed that maybe there was something I was missing.
‘I came this far.’
Callius looked down at the heavy sword in his hand. Si-eun’s reward cannot be known in advance, so he does not yet know what reward will be given.
Still, if you have this kind of grudge, it’s worth looking forward to. It’s ambiguous to throw it away like this and find another poem.
I felt like I had to look around Reiki Bay to find clues about Philip.
“But I did hear something like that.”
“What.”
“They say Philip was trying to buy Veronica. But how can a farmer with no money buy the best flowers? I can’t buy it.”
farmer.
Why did a farmer become an imperial soldier?
Chris answered his question.
“After that… I heard that you suddenly became an imperial soldier, but how did you suddenly become an imperial soldier? Did you have any connections? It wouldn’t have been.”
Chris’s puzzled words made Colius’ eyes sink.
It started to smell.
* * *
“Philip is dead.”
Wearing a thin cardigan, Veronica said to the man sitting in the office.
The man’s name is Lupard.
He was the manager responsible for the rose’s smile.
Wearing glasses in one eye and calculating ledgers, he answered without even looking at Veronica.
“Ultimately it happened. It’s unfortunate. Is it wrong for you to be happy too?”
“If you hadn’t said anything strange, I wouldn’t have died so badly.”
Only then did Rupard close the ledger and look at Veronica.
“I just made a suggestion. Coincidentally, the empire needed soldiers, and I just introduced them to the perfect job. I have no resentment to hear from you.”
“Don’t bullshit. It must have been because I didn’t want to lose the rose smile signboard to a strange farmer.”
“I? Do I have to go to a farmer like that?”
“Right after Philip left, it happened that the rice fields were all over. I know it’s yours.”
“Do you have any proof?”
“I saw it.”
Rupard laughed.
He said as he buried his back in the chair.
“What are you saying? Is Philip dead anyway? Yes, there were rumors that there were treasures on Philip’s land. Philip’s fields have always been bountiful, even in bad years elsewhere. Rumors spread that treasure was hidden in the rice field, so I dug it up once.”
“So what happened?”
“A small box came out, though.”
“What?”
“ring.”
“ring?”
drooling.
widely.
“I think he was trying to propose to you. I was going to throw it away, but I was going to give it as a congratulation if I ever come back alive, but I can’t give it away because it’s already been searched for. take it.”
Veronica’s eyes flickered as she patted the ring box.
“Philippe was an idiot.”
“Is it so? Well, the very idea of marrying a prostitute was stupid.”
“It wasn’t trash, though. I wasn’t a bastard like you.”
Swoop!
Pulling out her sword through her cardigan, she lunged at Lupard.
The moment the sword was driven down to the head.
chin!
Rupard managed to block the sword.
“You crazy bitch!”
puck!
“Ugh!”
puck!!
“Kuk!”
“Why is the bitch fucking with me?”
Lupard, who headbutted Veronica on the forehead and kicked her, swept her hair as if she had endured it for ten years.
Veronica, who lost her sword and collapsed, screamed in anger.
“If it wasn’t for you, Philip wouldn’t have died!!”
“Why are you boring to me that a stupid baby volunteered to live with a window? This is why ignorant bitches.”
“Shut up, it’s a dog!”
poop!! Bawk!
However, what came back was violence.
Veronica groaned in pain as Lupard stepped on her.
“Know the subject, bitch.”
swish
“Ah!”
Soon after, Lupard pulled up his hair and whispered in her ear.
“All you have to do is receive guests and pay money back. yes? Didn’t you have a little hope that Phillip would save you from this slush? The fool is you, Veronica. Hearing of your fame, the Viscount is visiting in person, so I’m thinking of treating you as warmly as ever.”
widely!
“I will take care of this. Hey! Get rid of this bitch quickly.”
After straightening his tie, Rupard called the guards.
“…?”
However, even after a long time, the guards did not show up.
