Chapter 186 – Chapter 186 ― If You Are on My Side (4)
Episode 186 ― If you are on my side (4)
A voice that trembles lightly with surprise.
Where Roan looked back, there was a snow leopard beastman.
The patient who had just been treated passed out in relief, and Helen was still healing the dying patient.
Roan has to take care of the others too.
Roan lightly waved her hand.
“Later.”
Anmut stared blankly at Roan, then noticed what he was saying and nodded his head wordlessly.
‘You were able to use healing magic, priest? Paladin? Is there such a person in Evirzio?’
While silently examining the condition of the other slightly injured patients, Anmut’s ears and tail moved unsteadily.
He did not expect to see here the humans he had seen in Basel’s castle.
Besides, that movement was definitely the swordsman’s, so how did he use a heel?
Maybe a spy sent by the Church to Basel?
“Number… Number… !”
Confused, Anmut didn’t even notice that the person sitting in front of him stuttered in fear.
The moment he inadvertently gives a potion to a patient. Hearing the clear voice, Anmut abruptly stopped moving. It was a reflex action.
“For a moment! For a moment! No! Omg… Omg…”
Urtellia gasped for breath after quickly shouting.
His face is mostly hidden under his large wizard hat, but it’s probably red from his unfamiliar running.
After catching her breath, Yurtalia pointed her finger at the person Anmut had been caring for.
“… Leah.”
Only then did Anmut call her name.
“You fell! Are you still sane? Potions are paid. Humanly, I wouldn’t put a profit on it, but we bought it with money. Even if you can’t, give me 2 silver. Give more if you can afford it. By the way, what about Lia?”
The merchant’s face, who looked at Anmut’s eyes once as if dumbfounded, regained her complexion despite Yurtellia’s harsh words.
“If you… Sorcerers and Beasts… Are you Anmut! Oh, as expected, the appearance is amazing…”
The merchant, who exclaimed admiration, began to ponder whether to receive the potion or not.
After taking her breath away, Yurtellia then put her hands on her waist and looked around her.
She was busy chasing after Anmut, who disappeared as soon as she got off her carriage.
At Anmut’s glance, Urtellia finally followed his gaze. And she found the corpse of the demon and two people who were using healing magic.
“Were there priests? Did you kill the demons in an instant?”
“I’m not.”
“Huh?”
“I didn’t kill him. Witchcraft.”
“Why!”
After examining the Witchbeast’s wounds, Urtellia unfortunately confirmed that Anmut’s words were true.
“Nonsense! Yes, it must have been difficult for you to defeat this guy so neatly, but how much does this beast cost… ! Who the hell stole our prey… !”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
The answer came from somewhere other than Anmut.
One of those whom Urtellia thought was a priest rose from her patient. Even though his luxurious coat was stained with blood, his calm expression didn’t bother him.
Frustrated at the thought that she had missed her money-making opportunity, Yurteria met her eyes with Roan and screamed involuntarily.
“Wow!”
“I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“All, you… Prosecutor!”
Seeing Roan, Yurtalia put her hands together and trembled as if thrilled. Anmut was shaking his head from far behind.
Roan suppressed the rising dizziness.
Heal’s holy power consumption varies according to the amount healed.
If it is a wound that cannot be healed without a doctor, as it is now, considerable holy power is required.
If it hadn’t been for the items obtained after breaking the old fountain pieces, healing one person might have been all that was needed.
Roan was relieved, but a little taken aback by the unexpected situation.
And fortunately, the demon king’s shell skillfully covered his anxiety.
“How are you here?”
“That is what we want to ask. I never thought I’d see you here.”
Anmut, who was looking at the lightly wounded, also got up. Roan and Anmut faced each other.
“Prosecutor, are you a member of the church?”
At Yurteria’s question, Roan shook his head.
“I am against the present denomination. It has holy power, but it does not belong to the church.”
Anmut slightly frowned.
No one uses holy power outside the church.
First of all, it is not easy to awaken the holy power alone outside the church, and if there is such a person, the church will not leave it alone.
Sacred power is literally the holy power bestowed by God.
The church strictly monitors the church so that such power cannot be used recklessly without the church’s control, so that the church’s name is not tarnished.
Of course, in this process, the will of those with power is not considered important.
“The Church… Go against it.”
“Even the saintess treats them as chess pieces. The church is no longer interested in the will of the Goddess. Together with the saintess, I will lead them out separately. The saintess will convey the true will of the goddess.”
Roan’s words surprised Anmut.
Those words are tantamount to a declaration of war against the church.
Besides, is the saintess still alive?
The whereabouts of the saintess in the guild was a big topic.
As a Platinum-level mercenary, Anmut, who could get closer to the truth, already knew that the saintess was captured by Evirzio.
Does this man even have contact with such a saint?
Well, it seemed like he was free to come and go even to the Emperor of Evirgio.
It might be easy for him to contact the saintess.
As Anmut chewed on Roan’s strength, Helen finally finished her treatment.
“Thank you thank you… Priest.”
“What will happen now… ?”
The merchants, who held their breath and watched the condition of their colleagues, came to Roan and Helen and thanked them over and over again.
The man Helen was caring for was lying unconscious. Her complexion is pale, but she is still holding her breath.
Helen said, wiping the sweat from her brow with her weary expression.
“We were able to treat the patient just enough to get past the emergency and reach the castle. It’s not complete. You must take care of yourself. Have your colleagues take you to the castle right now.”
“Ah… Even the benefactor’s name…”
“Sorry. It is difficult to give you a name. Please go to the castle sooner rather than later.”
Only priests have such healing power.
However, in a previous conversation, I heard that they do not belong to the church.
The merchants were at a loss, not knowing what to do with the two benefactors.
Then someone with a keen eye called out.
“Ah! Were you a mercenary!”
Helen looked at the merchant startled at the unexpected words, then she looked at the place where the merchant’s gaze stopped.
What he found was the necklace Roan was wearing around his neck. It is the proof of the guild.
Only then did an atmosphere close to relief circulate among the audience, as if, “So that’s how it was.”
There are some people who want freedom from the rules and controls of the church.
However, the power of the church is strong enough to rival that of the royal family. The majority who resist are killed.
Even individuals who are strong enough to escape the power of the Order are still difficult to settle down anywhere.
If I was alone, I would survive, but it was not enough to protect my family and friends from the hands of the church.
Such people often end up wandering alone, and mercenaries are a common occupation for such people.
So everyone was in an atmosphere of understanding.
Except for Anmut and Urtellia.
“Yes. For now, I belong to a guild.”
‘No way.’
Anmut’s eyes narrowed.
The blue eyes shining between her eyes turned to Yurtellia, and Yurtellia put on a puzzled expression from under her hat.
“She was always around, but she didn’t notice…”
Urtellia mumbled with her cheeks red, but Anmut thought she was right.
That mark might be fake.
There was a person with that level of ability in the guild, and there was no way he didn’t know about it.
It is possible that Anmut or Urtellia did not know.
However, the guild would not have let them go, and if that happened, the mercenaries would not be able to know them.
Anmut was also plagued by the guild after he reached the platinum level. As much as he provides many conveniences in the guild, he also gets duties. That was also the reason why mercenaries and surprisingly many people knew Anmut’s name.
However, as if Yurtellia, who would normally have been prying at her, was already half possessed by him, she seemed to believe his words.
‘What the hell is that human?’
While Anmut looked at Roan’s presence with suspicious eyes, the merchants repeatedly thanked Roan and Helen.
The merchants who left the word that they would leave contact with the guild hurriedly took the wounded and disappeared.
A clearing in the forest that became quiet again.
Roan was the first to speak.
“You guys are the mercenaries belonging to the guild.”
“How did you know?”
This person had never been told his name or affiliation. In the first place, both Anmut and Urtellia were beasts. There are no geeks looking for them in Merde.
It means that they deliberately tried to find their whereabouts.
Anmut felt his wariness grow even stronger, but the human responded with an indifferent expression to everything.
“Isn’t he already famous enough for those merchants to know? Besides, I wanted to talk with you guys once more.”
“You said you wanted to talk again… ?”
As if moved by Roan’s words, Yurtalia held her hands together and opened her mouth slightly.
Hearts seemed to pour out of the eyes hidden under her hat.
And as if she was feeding her Yurtellia, Roan looked at her with a smile on her face.
Already, her infatuation with Roan herself is felt all too well by ‘detection’ and ‘listening’.
Dealing with such a woman is not difficult.
The likability level already floating above her head is +53. As long as you gently open her ‘Miheun’ and smile at her, her likeability level will continue to rise.
‘Although that was when I didn’t know that I was the Demon King.’
You don’t know how far that figure will plummet when he reveals that he is the Demon King, so it’s better to raise it if possible.
So Roan laughed at Urtellia, and that appearance made Helen uneasy.
“… Master.”
“Okay. These are people I’ve already met in Basel.”
“Basel… From?”
Helen’s eyes widened.
They were people he had never seen before in the castle, but Roan was talking to them as if he knew them well.
“There was something I wanted to ask.”
“What are you asking…”
“Ask any number!”
Anmut’s shrill voice was drowned out by Urtellia’s bright voice.
Anmut looked at Yurtellia displeasedly, but Yurtellia hid her smug face under her hat and stared at Roan.
“Leah. Do you have any sisters?”
“… Yes?”
At Roan’s sudden question, Urtellia’s smile completely disappeared.
Anmut tried not to change his expression as much as possible, but his emotions were clearly visible on his hard face.
“I know it’s rude to ask the young lady’s age, but how old are you by any chance? I am looking for someone I’m the sister of the beast of the cat. You came to mind first.”
Urtellia blankly listened to Roan’s question.
After staring at Roan for a moment, she slowly turned her head to Anmut.
What should I do?
Questions like bleached hair.
I want to answer, but I can’t remember.
So, the answer Anmut gave instead of her was,
It was an agreed answer to bring out when someone asked about their relationship externally.
“Leah is my sister. As you can see, I have a tail like this. So she was not accepted at Merde and was abandoned together.”
Roan’s eyes narrowed.
“Brother… Say.”
No way.
After all, she knows that her hero will spend the night with her too, but it can’t be her biological brother.
Anmut is just as wary of me.
The older brother is a snow leopard, and the younger brother is a cat.
It could happen in Evirgio, but we can guarantee that the two did not mix blood. Because I know the story in the game.
But even warriors
And Urtellia, who accepted that answer.
You probably don’t want to reveal that to me.
“Then, age… ?”
“Neither of us know.”
Yurteria opened her mouth as if forlorn.
