chapter 9
9-It was too much money
“Why are you here?”
Lucia, who stood in my way, was wearing her cloak loosely over her nun’s uniform.
On her face was a mask that seemed crudely made.
‘Is this the right timing…?’
Since she took the ska, she figured she wouldn’t mind it anymore, just mescaline.
The opponents that the Holy Kingdom fights are not these evil people, but the demon king and his followers who split the earth and devour life.
But Seongguk must have wanted to take this opportunity to root out Ah.
If I had to pick out the fortunate thing, it was that they were still in the stage of subjugating the city, but that they were in the middle of a preliminary investigation.
From the looks of it, it didn’t seem like a large-scale subjugation unit was hiding.
“I’ll have to catch it by force.”
Perhaps she thought that she had completely hidden her true identity behind her form, and proudly thrust her cane at me.
Kiriric-.
Then the scale at the end of the staff began to tilt with a glow.
“Repent as much as your sins.”
Anyone with a bit of a knack for combat will probably be dumbfounded by this sight.
The distance between me and Lucia was less than 2m.
In addition to that, I’m an inspector.
Closing this distance in an instant was not as difficult as I thought.
But what is the saintess standing over there doing?
She just raised her cane and pointed at me while she stood still.
In a normal battle, most of the wizards took it for granted that the head and neck would play separately the moment the swordsman allowed them to approach.
But with that thought, all those who rushed to her Lucia would have been folded in half by her and left.
‘That scam… I wondered when it would come out.’
Maybe it’s because he was seen as an important supporting character in the original work.
Lucia had the title of being the strongest among all saints.
What made that possible was the staff she was holding, the ‘weight of sin’.
It was a simple weapon to use.
Uses divine power to weigh the evil deeds of the bandits with the balance hanging in front of the staff.
If the opponent’s evil deeds are greater than Lucia’s, she can boast of absolute power only against her opponent.
Conversely, if Lucia committed more evil than the other party, it was a high-risk weapon against her position. It didn’t really matter to her.
She was born with a good nature in the first place and has lived in the Holy Land all her life.
She was someone who didn’t even tell white lies that most people do.
“Eh…Eh?”
However, when the scale stopped tilting, I could see that Lucia’s expression began to contort with a subtle moan somewhere, as if something wasn’t going as planned.
“What is this?”
I think something is wrong with her wand, watching her swing it up and down. Her emptiness came crashing down.
‘That’s what a saint is…’
In the end, the shaman of sin is a magic tool that reads evil deeds from the opponent’s memory and uses them.
In short, it is just a good lie detector.
Maybe it’s because of the fact that it was created by God in the grass. It was a countermeasure against phantom magic or transformation magic, and there was a setting to synchronize the soul and body.
‘And I didn’t commit any particular evil with Laplace’s body.’
I literally didn’t even have time to commit evil.
I was rather dragged around by this guy’s backstabbing.
It was clear that if I dealt with this foolish saint any longer, I would get caught up in another strange incident.
The moment I thought I had to find Angelica, who I thought would be around.
Boom!
Lucia slammed into the outer wall of the abandoned building opposite her, making a shocking sound so strong that it made me think she was dead.
When I turned to her side, Alice was staring at me with a guilty expression on her face.
“Why?”
“Young, since you attacked the lord… I thought you were an enemy…”
Alice’s behavior was reasonable. She was my servant of hers, and she only had enough power to blow away enemies in front of her.
The problem is that Alice never had a chance to see Lucia in her castle.
It was that Alice was for me more than I thought.
“Laplace?”
When he was taking care of fallen Lucia. She turned her head at the sound of urgent footsteps behind her.
There, like Lucia, Angelica with her hood pressed down was seen running.
“Run for now!”
With all the guards in the city behind him.
‘f*ck.’
**
It’s inconvenient.
“What brought you here?”
Angelica was smiling at me.
“To touch a woman’s body recklessly. It’s filthy.”
What did the saintess do to leave it there, so when she picked it up and gave it to her, she started making a fuss on the contrary.
“Ah, earlier…”
In addition, Alice hesitated to see if she was sorry for blowing away the saintess.
I felt like I was going to die when I was in the room with three people I didn’t know what combination they were in.
Obviously, looking at their looks, they were women who deserved the title of beauty.
In the original novel, she possesses blonde hair and red eyes, which are characteristics of royalty, and Angelica possessed numerous men.
Her
Her characteristic rabbit ears were not visible because she was wearing her hat, but Alice still made everyone who saw her look back at her.
Even the saintess Lucia, who shows a slightly different side from the one I knew.
It was satisfying enough to be in a room with such beauties.
A protagonist who automatically creates an incident just by walking around.
Except for the fact that the other side is a saint who will try to break her head off just by looking at her demons and villains.
‘Alice… I don’t think there’s anything wrong.’
Still, I had the feeling that nothing good would happen if I put these two together.
“At this point, all the guards should have gone back. Now go back to your quarters.”
I made a gesture with the heart to please leave, but those guys. He seemed to have no intention of leaving.
“I’ll let you loose here knowing what else you’re up to.”
Lucia rather condescendingly began to stare at me with her chin on her chin.
“By the way, are you… Are you secretly making offerings to the temple or looking for people?”
“What?”
Perhaps this foolish saintess said as if she thought that because I had done great deeds, her sins were lightened.
“Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense that trash like you and I are on the same level.”
“…”
She ran her finger across her forehead as she stared right through me with a serious expression, as if for granted.
“Eh?… Whoa!”
“Are you stupid?”
“What are we going to do?”
Lucia was glaring at me, pressing her forehead with both of her hands, as if the area where I had been beaten hurt.
“It doesn’t work for those who use violence like this. I’ll have to ask the priests of the temple to look at it.”
“Didn’t you also launch random attacks earlier? If that’s the case, then you have a problem too.”
“That’s because there are unscrupulous people like you!”
“Then what about this guy?”
I grabbed Alice’s shoulder and held out to Lucia who was pointing her finger at me.
“You attacked such a pitiful prisoner. Are you sure you are persecuting the prisoner too?”
When Alice’s hat was removed, two rabbit ears appeared for the first time in a long time. There was something hanging around without power.
“That only landed her attack on you, but you ran away with her…”
Lucia couldn’t finish her words in a crawling voice, perhaps realizing that she had lost.
“That’s it! Why was Laplace here?”
Perhaps she wanted to lighten the mood, Angelica turned everyone’s attention to her partner and clapped her hands.
“I told you before. I came simply to enjoy the casino.”
“Really?”
“Then let me ask you. Why are you guys here? For what purpose?”
Although it was something I already knew. It was not a bad choice to listen to the stories of the parties involved.
Because there may be other contents.
“We are in this city… Eup, Eup!”
Before Angelica could begin to speak, Lucia hurriedly shut her mouth.
“Are you mad? Are you going to tell that guy?”
“Laplace is nicer than you think. Maybe he can help us?”
“What is that…”
“The situation isn’t good right now, is it?”
The opinions of Angelica, who tried to explain the situation to me and sought help, and Lucia, who said she couldn’t talk to a guy like me, began to conflict.
There was only one action I could take.
“I have no intention of getting involved.”
I can’t help it even if I say it’s cowardly. I had to intertwine with the main characters in the original story to get caught up in a new incident.
Since I’ve already saved enough money to repay the debt, isn’t it natural to shake my hands and finish it?
“Is that so? Maybe …. Did they say that the person who achieved the greatest achievement in this operation in the Holy Kingdom would be given 10 million gold? Me and Lucia are not very interested in the reward, but she is.”
10 Million gold was too much to say
.
“I’ll just listen to the story once.”
