The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 165

clean.

clean.

“I want you to let go soon.”

“so? If you want to do that, you should.”

After calmly freeing me, Master took a step back and smiled softly. Blue eyes looked over my shoulder to those who came to this city with me.

“Could you introduce the people behind Yuna to Master Lee?”

“It was the car I was going to introduce to you. Jamel, please introduce yourself.”

Jamel poked with his toe to see if the wizards who had been beaten by Master were still alive, and was startled when he heard my call.

“Ah! yes yes!!! I’ll introduce you soon!!! My name is Jamel! And…”

Jamel, who was pulling the horse, broke into a cold sweat and rolled his eyes to look at me pitifully.

“Hey there, Priest Marnak… I am I am What more do I need to introduce here…?”

Apparently, Jamel was completely terrified when he saw the story he had heard from me beforehand and this scene full of people who were being squeezed.

“nice to meet you. Jamel. My name is Prydia. I have heard many stories.”

Contrary to my expectations, Master greeted me with a very friendly voice and hugged Jamel tightly just like he did for me earlier. Jamel, who was suddenly embraced, had a contemplative face.

“I was wrong!!!”

“yes?”

“Ah anyway, I was wrong!!! I’m so sorry!!! Please just buy and live!!!”

Because of being embraced by the priest whom he was always afraid of, Jamel’s face turned very blue and he fell into a panic. Seeing that, Master Prydiya looked up at me with bewildered eyes.

“What have I done wrong?”

“Ummm… I guess it’s because Jamel is usually shy. Maybe…”

When Master released Jamel from her arms, she quickly ran away and hid behind me, muttering in a small voice.

“For some reason… I felt like I was being held by a bear… A dreadful drooling bear…”

Somehow, after the first greeting, Master straightened her back and met Cardisho’s eyes, who were standing next to me. Cardisho held out his hand with a friendly smile.

“nice to meet. My name is Cardisho. He is a priest of Gwanghuigyo who worships the warm light.”

“nice to meet you. I am a priest of Seonghwa Church. My name is Prydia. By the way…”

Upon hearing Khadisho’s name, Master Pridiya tilted her head.

“It’s the first time I’ve heard that name. I guess you joined recently?”

“iced coffee. Yes. We met by chance recently.”

Come to think of it, you said you heard a lot about Jamel earlier. A dark-haired woman who goes around with a blue ghost. The information I heard across the line matched.

“Master.”

“Yes, Yuna. What are you curious about?”

“Have you already met some of my other colleagues?”

Master smiled softly and nodded.

“It is. They are all good people.”

I’ve already met you That’s why Master didn’t look for me separately. Because I knew I would come here anyway.

“Yuna, then could you introduce me to the last person hiding behind you there?”

After Master appeared, my mother hid behind my legs and glared at Master with wary eyes.

‘killing!’

A shout that there is no introduction to that woman. It was clear that it would take a long time to explain the mother’s existence to Master. I decided to postpone greeting them a little later.

Because of the mages who were squeezed out, people were gathering in a buzz.

“Can I introduce this side a little later?”

“If you want to do that, do it.”

Master patted me on the shoulder and whispered softly.

“Your companions are living in a water swallow moored by the pier. If you go now, you will be able to meet right away, so hurry up and have a good time.”

“Aren’t you going with Master?”

With her blue eyes half-crushed, she glanced at the wizards who were still alive.

“In my heart, I want to hear what happened as Yeon walks with you… Unfortunately, Master Lee is just about to take care of a trivial matter. Don’t worry too much, I’ll be back before sunset.”

worry? Worrying was not for Master, but for the person who would soon face Master Lee over a ‘small’ problem.

“Then I won’t eat dinner first and wait.”

The beautiful eyes curled softly.

“As expected, our Yeon is a very good kid. Come on, let’s go. Leave the cleaning up to Master Lee.”

“Yes then.”

When she got so far away that she couldn’t see Master’s face, Jamel let out the breath he had been holding.

“Haa… I really thought today was the day to write the last page of Jamel’s brief biography…” ”

Why are you so scared? Master is not that scary.”

At least when the sword is in its scabbard.

Jamel glanced in the direction where Master was and shuddered.

“My gut… told me he was a very, very scary guy. If I say one word wrong, my little throat is very sore! He is so scary that he might fly away!!!”

“Is that so?”

Jamel is making a fuss. It’s not a day or two. I listened to Jamel’s words and soothed her.

“He seemed like a good person to me. By the way…”

Cardisho murmured briefly and asked a sneaky question.

“Has he ever been married? Doesn’t that mean that Marnak, your teacher, must be a lot older than you?”

“… As far as I know, you are still single.”

A bright smile spread across Cardisho’s face.

“Right. It felt good. was also a colleague I’m really looking forward to this evening with your master. There are so many things I want to ask you.”

Just because she was single, Master unknowingly won Cardisho’s hot affection.

Originally, it’s time to break up with Cardi Show here. Since we’ve been traveling together for a few days, we should all just have a meal together and talk a little bit.

I reached out my hand and patted my mother’s head, who had been clinging to me ever since I met Master, and stepped a little faster.

I was very curious to see if everyone was doing well.

***

– Heir! Are you injured anywhere? Dakia!!! The successor has arrived!!!

Tergio, the steel knight with a large squeaking rat on his head, greeted me with a bright voice.

“I was fine. How is Tergio?”

– yes!!! Thank you so much for your concern!!! But you know what? A person claiming to be the Heir’s teacher has come to visit us and stay with us!

“Oh, I already met you on the way.”

– Is that so? What a crazy coincidence!

“But why are you wearing those clothes…?”

Terzio, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, was wearing a kitchen apron over his sturdy steel body.

– With time left, I’ve memorized several cooking recipes until the heir arrives! The water swallow has more loading than expected, so you will be able to enjoy more colorful dishes in the future!

It was a story that had nothing to do with me, who couldn’t taste it anyway, but it was good news anyway because my mother’s mouth would be fun instead.

“This is really something I’m always thankful for.”

– Working for the heir is the happiness of my life! Anyway, a new person has arrived.

That time when I was about to introduce the Cardi Show. A high-pitched voice came from inside the Water Sujebi.

“Priest Ma Marnak is here?! Really? Isn’t that a lie?!”

Hair tangled here and there. Blush eyes and face. white pajamas. Dakia, who had just woken up from sleep, hurriedly jumped out onto the deck.

Two golden eyes quickly scanned the deck and stopped exactly the moment they spotted me. The face of Dakia who found me brightened up.

“Priest Marnak!!!”

Dakia, who had jumped on the deck as if flying, jumped into my arms. I was a little surprised by the stronger reaction than expected, but my hands reflexively held Dakia, who had already jumped up. Dacia rubbed her face into my arms as if she had been waiting.

“I was so worried!”

I patted her on the back and smiled.

“Why were you worried? Wearing a ring would have given us a rough idea of our location.”

“Ring… that’s right! I was more worried about that ring!!!”

“yes?”

She grumbled as she removed the ring from her finger and handed it to me.

“This didn’t work because I got stuck! According to Tergio, it seems that this was made exclusively for priest Marnac…”

For me? Could this be the reason why my mother didn’t say anything when I gave the ring to Dacia? Knowing that Dakia would be useless even if she wore it? I slightly turned my head to look at my mother, who was whistling awkwardly at the wide river.

‘Kill and kill-.’

The other thing is that the weather is really nice today. That was absolutely certain. I smiled bitterly at Dakia clinging to my arms like a cicada hanging from a tree.

“You must have felt a lot of foolishness while I couldn’t see you.”

“Ah?!”

At my point, Dacia was startled and fell from my arms. Soon she noticed the way she dressed and the condition of her face and hair. The white face heated up like it was about to explode. Dacia lowered her head and murmured softly.

“This this… That’s it… It’s because I haven’t been able to sleep well lately because there are people who keep bothering me… It’s not that I’m lazy… Me me! I’ll wash up a little and change clothes!!!”

As Dacia rushed toward the cabin like a bullet, Giselle slowly stepped out onto the deck as if taking turns. The wound had healed in a few days, and the cumbersome bandage had already been thrown away.

“Oh are you here?”

She greeted me as if she were greeting someone who had run errands in front of me. Cardisho, who was standing still next to me, murmured in a low voice.

“What happened to the party is only pure women… I wish I had been so full of men’s luck…”

“Giselle! I’m back! Your friend Jamel!!!”

“Oh, welcome back.”

“huh?”

In response to Jamel’s fierce greeting, Giselle responded briefly and then strode toward me.

“Let me talk for a minute. alone.”

***

Leaving the rest of the party to unwind, I followed Giselle into her cabin. When I closed the door, she sat on her bed and crossed her legs.

“Is your body all right? I don’t think you’re going to get hurt anywhere, but I’ll ask out of courtesy.”

“I am fine.”

“Ok, fine. Then, would you mind spending some time with me right now tonight?”

“You mean tonight…? However, please refrain from using expressions that could cause misunderstanding.”

Giselle smiled and shrugged.

“It’s hard. That’s right, a person called your master came to visit us and is staying here.”

“I heard from Tergio.”

“Am I really surprised? It’s the first time in my life that I’ve seen a priest who doesn’t have much feelings for worshipers of evil spirits. Your teacher already knew that I was a worshiper of evil spirits and came to see you.”

How else do you know that?

“By the way, what are we doing tonight?”

“Oh that? There’s a guild that collected all the holy relics before. Top of Abiditas. Do you remember?”

“yes.”

“Their branch’s warehouse just happened to be in this city, so we planned to rob it, but since you weren’t there, we’ve been waiting for you to come.”

“You mean me?”

Giselle glared at me.

“If you’re not there, how am I supposed to find out which relic is the one you’re looking for?”

Well, unless it’s me or my mother, I won’t be able to recognize which relic is the relic with the sacredness of corruption sealed upon seeing it.

Suddenly, a question occurred to me.

“By the way, may I ask you something?”

“what?”

“My master said he was going to take care of a ‘minor’ problem today. Do you know what that is?”

Hearing my question, Giselle shrugged and sighed.

“Oh that? Haha, these days, the Imperial Wizard Association or something keeps visiting Dacia and bothering her. We warned you not to come a few times, but do you understand that the wizards are warning you? So your teacher just said he would solve it ‘cleanly’ and left…”

“Why are you talking about that now!”

“What what? why? What’s wrong? Why are you screaming all of a sudden? You were surprised!”

Solve it ‘cleanly’. It sounds very nice to hear, but it wasn’t a neat way at all for Master to handle it ‘neatly’. No, to be precise, it’s a neat way only for Master.

I sat down and wiped my face.

how do i do this…? It was already too late to follow up.

“why? Say something. What’s the matter? You make me anxious too!”

“… you will die.”

“what?”

“The person with the highest rank in the association will die in order. Until every single member of the organization falls down and prays.”

Slicing off the head step by step, causing the organization to collapse. That was Master’s ‘neat’ way of doing things.

“what?! Is that true?!”

“ha. It was already too late to follow up. Now I have to think about how to get out of this city…”

Chin.

Giselle took my hand.

“It’s not too late! If it’s not yet, you’ll be able to arrive a little tighter!”

“How do you mean?”

“I left a sign near the Society’s branch! No, I don’t have time to explain this! I’ll explain it all later!”

In an instant, shadows protruding from the floor came out and swallowed Giselle. When I opened my eyes to the wind, Giselle and I were standing in the middle of an unfamiliar alley

. .”

Giselle held my hand,

“Let’s ask each other later! If we’re going to rob a warehouse tonight, we’ll have to stop your master first! If the city gets messy, my plans will go awry!!!”
