Raising Paladins

Episode 13. we were lucky (3)

run away?

What do you mean by running away?

He quickly looks around to see if there is something dangerous that he does not know is hiding in the temple.

But all I could see were the thick bushes and the skinny man from earlier.

‘Does this older brother see anything wrong?’

I’ve heard of such a thing.

He gets hit so many times that when his mind goes back and forth, he sees things he doesn’t normally see.

In Josephson’s view, Daryl was in that situation now.

“Did you finish all the rounds?”

A skinny guy standing at the entrance to the backyard.

In other words, Carl walked over and said.

A crappy wooden sword worn at the waist.

Believing that is a rather arrogant attitude.

Josephson put Daryl on the floor and stood up.

“To be honest, I don’t want to live. Who made Daryl-hyung like this?”

“grow.”

“Of course you would say you don’t know. But if you don’t name it right away… … huh?”

wait for a sec.

I think I just heard something wrong.

Josephson asked while digging into his ear with his index finger.

“What did you just say… … .”

“I did.”

“Daryl and Peter? And you said that to all the other kids?”

“Yes.”

“Are you alone?”

“of course.”

Silence fell in the backyard.

What broke the silence was the laughter of Joseph Son and his gang.

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

“This madman is going to pick up his older brother and Peter by himself… … Ha ha ha!”

“I thought you were just a beggar, but you turned out to be a crazy beggar!”

The boisterous laughter that filled the backyard.

Even though he was obviously laughing at himself, Carl just stared blankly at him without changing his expression.

Josephson suddenly felt terrified at Carl’s attitude.

The laughter of the crowd behind him stopped.

As the surroundings became quiet, Josephson glared at the knife.

“Hey, you.”

“… … ?”

“Where are you and what are you doing?”

“How will you answer me?”

“Of course you should answer honestly!”

“It’s the paladin that beat the Lich King.”

“… … Stop kidding! Where are you and what are you doing?”

“He was also the one who shared apple jam pie with the saintess. I answered honestly, so why are you angry?”

“This bastard is still! Answer me straight!”

“It’s true… … .”

“Shut up!”

Joseph’s voice rose.

Although I promised myself I wouldn’t get excited about homeless people!

Strangely, when I talk to him, I get more and more angry.

Besides, that cryptic attitude that made it hard to guess whether he was strong or weak was annoying.

He doesn’t have a single favorite corner.

‘What is this kid really? Are you excited to die?’

There was an order to return 15 crons if you ever meet this homeless man.

Of course, the order must be carried out.

Since I was arrogantly aiming for Hanson’s money bag, I was thinking of hitting it here and there.

‘I didn’t intend to kill him.’

However, Carl’s attitude and words and actions made Joseph’s son grow more and more murderous.

“You really die. We are Hanson’s gang.”

“Death… … Tried it once and it wasn’t too bad. Of course, I have no intention of dying to a pony like you.”

“You’re going all the way.”

The bloody words earlier were the final warning.

Josephson said to his younger brothers who were waiting behind him.

“Guys, teach that homeless man some manners of Mayrium.”

“Yes, brother!”

Whoops, whoops!

The gang of people who bent their necks on both sides and loosened their wrists approached.

All of them were big and had strong forearms, so it seemed that even two out of ten would fold a skinny knife in half.

“You bastard!”

Kugoong!

The overweight gangster believes in his size and terrifyingly rushes forward.

A seemingly ignorant assault!

If caught in that tackle, a skinny sword would easily break.

Everyone thought so.

but.

f*ck!

Knee planted right on the guy’s chin!

No matter how well it was inserted, the moment my chin and knee met, a cool sound of something being squeezed resonated.

dump.

“uh?”

Did you think the game would end soon?

It was on the side of the gang that fell.

“… … Mistakes are what everyone makes. Grom must have been a little excited.”

“U-isn’t it?”

“of course! Even a broken clock is right twice a day! I was just lucky, so f*ck it up!”

“for a moment.”

The thugs who rushed at Josephson’s encouragement hesitated.

It was because Carl put his palm forward.

“What? Are you going to ask me to come and see you?”

Josephson said with a smile on his face that he knew now.

Because when we fight, there are always guys like this.

I wish I had listened to you kindly when I first warned you, but those who dare to beg for help only after facing a dangerous situation!

Josephson’s ridicule was due to such judgment.

Of course, Carl had no intention of doing that.

Rather, it was the opposite.

“I will give you a chance.”

“opportunity?”

“I hear that you guys have been stealing money from the market and running amok, but I’ve heard that no one has ever been harmed. Daryl says it.”

“That’s because Hanson-nii-sama had instructions. I didn’t hit the elderly, women, or children.”

“oh… … .”

He’s a gangster, but he has the personality of a boss, a guy named Hanson.

Carl nodded with a small smile.

“good night. I have a desire to give you a chance. I also don’t feel comfortable hitting someone. Just put down the money bag you’ve been wearing and go. Then I’ll send you nicely.”

“You say you’ll send it nicely? Us?”

Josephson looked at Carl and the gang alternately with a puzzled expression.

It was so absurd that I couldn’t even laugh anymore.

It was then.

“Oh, go back… … Joseph hand! I have to go when you let go… … !”

“Brother Daryl!”

Daryl came back to his senses before he knew it.

Joseph’s hand erupted in anger.

“When did you become so weak! The second person in Hanson’s gang! What a second person, afraid of a skinny guy like this!”

“It’s not like that… … That person… … .”

“stop! After punishing that cheeky bastard, I’m going to tell you all about your sins! You betrayed the gang and became a temple person!”

chuck!

Josephson pointed the knife straight ahead.

“I will be taking care of Daryl-hyung and Peter. In the meantime, teach that cheeky country boy our fears! You don’t have to have credit in your hands!”

“Yes, brother!”

rumble!

A gang of men rushing at the knife that pulls out the wooden sword wrapped around the waist!

Seeing that, Josephsson turned to the fallen Daryl.

“Brother Daryl! That’s it. I’m going to take that skinny guy and you together before Brother Hanson. Do you understand?”

“no… … It’s not like that… … .”

Boo- boom!

“Quaaagh!”

I hear something explode and fly behind me.

Along with the groaning screams.

When Josephson heard this, he smiled happily.

“Can you hear me? The homeless villager you feared is in the hands of our children… … .”

pop! Perbung!

“evil!”

“Save people!”

“Everyone run away!”

huh?

Wasn’t it over already?

Why do many people seem to be beaten by one person?

“Sah, save me! please!”

pop!

“Oh… … .”

I kept hearing strange noises.

A feeling of something bad,

Josephson slowly turned his head.

OK.

“what?!”

A gang of 10 who rushed at Carl.

Their miserable appearance caught Josephson’s eyes.

Some were blown off and caught in tree branches, some were left face-down in the soggy soil around the well, and others were clinging to one of their limbs and weeping profusely.

The person who opened the sword of hell pointed at Joseph’s hand with a wooden sword.

“There, you! He looks like a rat.”

“Heeep!”

A hiccup came out of nowhere.

“Me, me?”

“Okay, come closer.”

“… … .”

Josephson slowly approached Carl with a white face.

“You’ll remember I gave you one last chance.”

“yes… … .”

“I’ll remember kicking that opportunity.”

“ah!”

My hamstrings tingle and my fingertips tremble.

In the first place, it was Josephson who rose to the current position by using his extraordinary brain as the strategist of Hanson’s gang.

I’m not very good at fighting.

That’s why he was nothing but a lump of sweet cheese the moment his gang all turned to blood.

“I will give you everything! Please let go!”

Jinglang!

Joseph’s hand held out a fairly heavy money bag.

However, there was no change in Carl’s expression.

“That’s what you have to give.”

“Uh, why… … ?”

“If you come to the temple, shouldn’t you make a donation? So it’s not natural.”

Some madman donates an entire money bag!

I want to shout like that.

However, Joseph’s hand, who was distracted by the spinning wooden sword, broke into a cold sweat.

“And I will send you back to the gang. I have something to say to that guy named Hanson.”

“Hey, are you really? If you send me safely, I’m sure Hanson-nii will… … ”

“Are you safe? I never said anything like that.”

“yes?”

“If you kick the given opportunity, you will be punished.”

“that… … !”

Shaking my head.

Daryl, who had been leaning against the wall of the well and looking this way, shook his head.

Perhaps Josephson will taste the terrible pain he has never experienced in his life today.

Daryl and Peter, who empathized with Josephson, closed their eyes.

‘Brother Joseph… … .’

‘May you be happy there!’

The backyard of the temple where an earnest prayer meeting (?) for Joseph’s son is being held.

There was a girl who appeared with a cheerful smile.

“uh? It’s already over!”

It was Tira who brought the big basket in her hand with a whimper.

Carl, who was trying to punish Josephson, looked at Tira.

“Did you bring everything?”

“Without missing anything!”

Tira smiles as she opens the lid of the basket!

Place the basket on the floor and take out the contents one by one.

“These are five aprons to wear in the kitchen! And this is a pitchfork to use when plowing the field!”

Aprons embroidered with colorful animal pictures.

In addition, various agricultural tools to be used for plowing the field poured out of the basket.

In addition, tomatoes and cabbage to be used as seeds were also included.

“These are vegetable seeds that have been in the warehouse since last winter. Will I be able to grow up safely?”

“You can do it with sincerity. I like tomatoes.”

“hehehe, if you sleep well, I will cook tomatoes for you!”

Tira’s smile looks so happy!

Seeing that, Daryl intuited the fate of his fallen brothers.

They remembered what Carl had said the first time they were captured.

-Consider yourself lucky to have experienced the temple life in advance!

‘That must have been really lucky… … !’

Of course, a laundry tub with bloody bandages or poopy diapers is terrible.

But it’s even more disgraceful to see that animal wearing an embroidered apron and cooking cabbage soup in the kitchen, or cultivating crops in the fields outside the temple where all the villagers can see.

Originally, happiness or unhappiness are all relative!

Realizing that Carl’s words were true, the Daryls breathed a sigh of relief.

‘we… … I was lucky!’
