chapter 163
163. Me too!
“I don’t drive wagons well.”
“Thank you!!”
Obviously, I don’t drive the wagon myself.
It’s not that I can’t drive a wagon at all, but if you really want to.
I assure you, the disciples will say that you must never rise up holding everything.
I can find enough other coachmen, so why not have Master?
You just screamed that you couldn’t just ignore it.
So he picked the one who drove the wagon the best and entrusted him with the coachman’s position.
I can’t remember his name, but I know he’s from Garam.
Like last time, strangely, all the people driving the carriages are Garam people.
“Oh, and you don’t have to keep your posture like that. Drive comfortably.”
“No! It’s convenient!”
“Don’t just throw in your military discipline. I am more uncomfortable.”
Anyway, there are only three warriors, and the guy sitting next to them is their teacher.
I wonder if that’s why he’s insisting on his way of speaking with such a rigid stance.
I liked that lame coachman the other day because he was so kind.
It was also impressive that he didn’t care whether the other person was a hero or a warrior teacher.
Anyway, the carriage is going well, and the inside of the carriage is quiet.
So I adjusted my posture and started preparing to slowly improve my body condition.
All that remains is a handful of bets.
And it’s all broken and just about to collapse.
No matter what, the important thing is to “Remain.”
‘Healing is not impossible. Unless it completely crumbled and disappeared without a trace.’
Remembering Master’s words, slowly close your eyes.
Soon the heinous pain will spread like poison from the center of the body.
You have to endure it so that you can catch a clue and seize an opportunity.
‘To put it in an analogy, it is no different from the body. Any serious injury can eventually heal. If only I hadn’t lost my life. And if only Danjeon hadn’t been lost.’
‘However, that will take a very long time. As long as you don’t get a chance.’
Kook-.
As the pain rushes in, I unknowingly clench my fist.
In my heart, I just wanted to scream without a sound.
But if you do that, let alone the coachman sitting next to you.
If Lily, Garam, and Xenia in the back get scared, they’ll come running.
So somehow, there was no other way than to grit your teeth and endure it.
‘Overcoming it, in the end, is up to you. Just like it used to be.’
I try to control my trembling breath and run the bet again.
The sensation of being stabbed with a knife, the feeling of glass fragments floating in the blood vessels.
The kind of pain that can’t be expressed even with such terrible words came again.
But you have to endure, endure, endure, and endure again.
As if no matter how painful and painful you are, you can only walk again if you do rehabilitation exercises consistently.
I have to somehow revive the danteon that is on the verge of collapse and bring it back.
“… Me, over there.”
I’ve been concentrating for a while, but I suddenly hear a voice next to me.
I was a little annoyed at how long it had been and how long it had already bothered me.
I tried to get rid of that feeling, relaxed my posture, and opened my eyes.
“Why. What’s the matter.”
“The hero told me to come inside…. That, the sun is setting….”
“Suddenly, what are you talking about? Why is the sun setting….”
After saying that, I let out a sigh.
It must have been a very sunny noon just a moment ago.
It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long, but it’s already getting closer to evening.
“… What is this.”
“Yes? Ah. There is a city not far away. I’m trying to go there, but even if it’s a problem….”
“I didn’t say that to you. Let it go You can’t rest in the wagon.”
After telling the coachman to take care of himself, he jumped and grabbed the carriage door and opened it.
Perhaps he was trying to call me, but I ended up facing Lily.
“I was going to ask you to come in quickly, but you did.”
“If I’m late, I’m going to nag you again.”
When I went inside, Xenia was asleep on the bed.
She was pretending that she wasn’t, but she still must’ve been in a bad state.
With no followers and no reason to keep her pride any longer, her tiredness seemed to come all at once.
“Didn’t you take a nap too, Garam.”
“I went to bed already. So damn… Big! Our lovely sister Xenia said, ‘To think she was dozing off in front of her sisters. How carefree!’ She naked. Seriously, so are you. Even while lying down very comfortably and sleeping stretched out.”
At Garam’s grumbling, I giggled and burst into laughter.
Anyway, I can’t tell if these guys are good or bad.
“Lily. How are these guys doing?”
“It has improved a lot since the beginning. It’s only now that I’ve been able to get some of my skills. At first, I had to focus on getting rid of that disgusting energy.”
“Your expression is still not good.”
“We still have a long way to go. First of all, Sister Xenia has quite a lot of wounds on her arms. She’ll have to stop holding her spear for a while. She is fortunate that at least her bones are not broken.”
“What about Garam?”
“Similar. Compared to Xenia’s sister, it’s about as good as this.”
Lily put her thumb and forefinger together while saying, “This much.”
I laughed again because it was literally ‘this much’.
“Anyway, it’s impossible for both of you to deal with betting. Of course, it’s not a permanent injury like Master’s, it’s a temporary shock caused by hostility, so it will get better soon. As long as you heal your bodily wounds, I’ll tell you there’s nothing to worry about.”
At least, these are good news.
Master and I were out of power, and Garam and Xenia also suffered serious injuries that required recuperation for a while.
If this happens, the remaining power will be Daisy, Gerard, Iris, Lily, Esther, and Iris.
Six warriors are by no means a small number.
It can also be said that after the second fragment is gone, there is still no major threat.
However, no one knows what else will happen due to the twisted causality.
Anyway, Lily can be seen at a glance that she is very tired from the continued healing.
Gerard and Iris, who haven’t seen it yet, must be very tired.
In other words, only Daisy, Esther, and Iris can move in their normal state.
– Not enough. –
The only way is to hope nothing happens for a while.
If that’s not the case, I’ll become normal no matter what.
… No, it won’t happen simply because the body is normal again.
This time, while walking on the road, I fell off a cliff and was seriously injured.
But you can’t go down that road again, walk the same road, and fall again.
You have to find it. You just have to deal with it and get over it.
Until I found it, I couldn’t say it was good even if I recovered my physical condition.
On the contrary, the current situation is an absolutely necessary time for me.
Yes, it was right to see it as a grace period to find the right path.
“Ah, Master. This one.”
Suddenly, Garam rummaged in my arms and held out something to me.
I took it reflexively and asked what it was.
Then Garam shrugged his shoulders and said, ‘Have you seen it somewhere?’
Where have you seen this eerie orb with dark energy?
… Oh, right. It was like this when I caught and killed the first fragment.
I rummaged through my luggage and kept carrying it, but had forgotten its existence.
I took out the orb left by the first demon fragment.
“How do you see it? Do they look the same?”
“… I think this one is a little bit darker.”
“It seems to me as well. The sphere you took this time is thicker.”
“Other than that, I think all of them have the same bad vibes.”
I nodded at Garam and Lily’s evaluation.
Looks like you have thoughts that are not much different from mine.
To be honest, I want to get rid of these disgusting things right away.
Originally, when an unexpected item comes into my arms, keep it unconditionally.
I couldn’t bear to make that decision because those words suddenly came to my mind.
“Heroes! You have to go into the city, but there is a checkpoint. What should I do?”
At the words of the coachman, I was about to take out the royal certificate I had.
Lily said she would take care of it herself, and she waved her hand.
“Lily? You can’t go Just show me this and you’ll know….”
“No. I do it because I want to show off my good side in front of Master.”
With a light smile, Lily donned her cloak and stepped out of her carriage.
Come to think of it, did she say that he had another title called a saint?
I’ve heard that the church sees Lily as an agent of God, not a hero, or something like that.
Recently, though, the religion has waned a bit because of its demon worshippers.
The church is said to be slowly recovering its prestige once again.
If it was a saint of that church, I wondered if it would be another high pass other than the royal certificate or the king’s pass.
And after a while.
“Saint!”
Something thump! And a falling sound is heard.
Wanting to know what was going on, I opened the carriage door and went outside.
So a situation unfolded in front of a group of people kneeling and bowing their heads.
“They all of a sudden disappeared and everyone was praying!”
“Sorry, everyone. There was something urgent, so I couldn’t help it.”
“No matter what the saintess does, we dare not say anything. It’s enough just for you to come back like this. All of this is the grace of God and a blessing bestowed on the church!!”
At first I thought they were city soldiers.
But when I looked again, I could tell they weren’t regular guards.
Some are wearing white robes, while others are wearing clean armor.
The ages and genders were different, but one thing was definitely the same.
There is a crest of the church embroidered with silver thread on the chest or decorated with silver.
“Ah, did you come out? Master.”
Seeing me, Lily smiles and bows her head.
After that, the priests and paladins bowed their heads again.
As if the saintess bowed her head, but they didn’t dare to meet their eyes.
“The church will prove our identity. There will be no problems, so you can rest assured.”
“… Okay. Then, Lily.”
For a moment, I thought about whether or not I should call her ‘Saint’.
Lily went ahead and laid her plate, but she had no reason to refuse it.
She did, and she just openly called her by name and gave her a pat on the shoulder to mean well done.
Then, the members of the church bowed their heads even deeper.
If I do this wrong, I might become the head of a strange religion.
Well, it was to the extent that I even had such stupid worries.
“Go in, Master.”
Looking at Lily, it seems like she’s saying this.
The guide I’m going to show off. That’s right, I’m a great warrior in my own way! Called.
Anyway, with the guidance of the saintess, she entered the city like that.
