The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 170
Mouth is straight.
Mouth is straight.
“Yah-ho!”
When Gisele saw Jamel running around in great joy, she put her forehead on her forehead and shook her head as if she couldn’t stop it.
“You know right now that we have to sneak back and forth without anyone finding out, right?”
Jamel pounded his chest and snorted.
“of course! I am a very clear person! ‘start! earth!’ From the moment you say it, you say it out of your mouth, but you’re not going to do it right? By the way…”
Jamel, who had been talking for a while, looked at me and asked Giselle in a small voice. Of course, I heard everything in my ears.
“Where are we going…?”
“Ha, more and more I wonder if taking you with me is a good thing. Seriously…”
Giselle grumbled, but grabbed Jamel and softly explained what we were going to do. It seemed that it was not the first time or two that he had explained to Jamel in this way that the explanation form looked very familiar.
“… I’m doing it. I understand?”
“Ummm…”
Looking at Jamel’s face, even though he had listened to the explanation, the rolling of his eyeballs was absolutely not an expression of understanding.
“Roughly…? So, are you just going to be quiet?”
“Just don’t do anything until I tell you to do something. nothing real! okay?”
I couldn’t see Giselle’s expression because of the mask, but for some reason I could clearly see Giselle’s expression. The expression of a frowning forehead.
Jamel slightly puffed out his cheeks as if he didn’t like something.
“Then when will I be active? …You can’t?!”
She jumped up as if she had realized something and, clinging to me next to me, pointed her finger at Giselle.
“Are you trying to keep me from setting the ball?! Is that it?! I trusted you, my friend!”
“Oh, can’t we just not take him? huh?”
“Jamel.”
“yes!!!”
I patted Jamel on the shoulder.
“I can’t take you if you don’t do what Giselle tells you to do.”
“I’ll be quiet as you say…”
“I believe. Then we start off slowly. It seems we are a little behind schedule.”
Giselle nodded and slowly reached out her hand.
“okay. Everyone grab my wrist. We will move to the place we marked in advance.”
As we grasped her wrist, dark shadows rose in unison and swallowed us whole space.
***
Four huge warehouses visible beyond the high walls. It was all just as Giselle had described. We emerged from a dim alley in direct view of the wall.
Giselle quickly grasped her surroundings and opened her mouth slightly.
“From now on, we will search each of the four warehouses in turn. I don’t know how many relics are in which warehouse, so I have no choice but to search them all. First of all, there are roughly 20 guards at the warehouse from what I’ve figured out. There are four wizards among them. The wizards are probably resting in the small building over there at the entrance, and when the guards blow their whistles, they will go out, so it’s safe to say that if you don’t get caught, you won’t run into them.”
It’s literally an explanation that jumps out of the clearing flow. How long has it been since you made a plan and moved like this, rather than getting caught up in an incident?
“Then let’s move.”
We nodded slightly and quickly approached the high wall. Even the moonlight helped us. Even when the moonlight shined, it was very dark for the eyes of ordinary people, making it difficult to properly discern the surroundings.
When I crossed the street and reached the wall, Giselle winked at me. It was my turn to climb the wall and check where the guards were. Just as I was about to jump up, Jamel grabbed my collar and pulled.
“Wait a minute!”
Jamel looked at me and patted his chest.
“I can do it myself! Just look!”
Jamel, who quickly reached for the dirt floor with his small hands, prayed in a low voice.
“Clocking Rock, please do something small!”
As usual, along with the random prayers, the soil gathered into small pieces and took the shape of a person the size of a palm. The clay doll made in this way lifted its head and looked at us, then raised its fingerless hand on top of its head.
It looked so reliable that I wondered if it was a clay doll made by Jamel.
Jamel tapped the clay doll’s head with her finger and spoke in a dignified voice.
“Go inside and check if there are any guards wandering around. Stay undetected!”
The clay doll nodded modestly and disappeared into the soil in an instant. After a while, the clay doll reappeared on the ground and started gesturing to Jamel.
Jamel looked at the clay doll with serious eyes, nodded, and then turned to me.
“There are two people running around over the wall right now. Watch you for a while and let me know when they both leave. got it?”
The clay doll nodded and melted back into the soil. After a while, when the clay doll bounced out of the soil again, Jamel prayed a new prayer as if he had waited.
“Clogged Rock, please give me a dog hole this time! Enough to accommodate Priest Marnak!”
The clay doll disappeared and the soil on the floor moved by itself, leaving a small dog hole under the wall. Jamel, who quickly fell on his stomach, crawled on all fours faster than anyone else and crawled into the dog hole, then stuck out his head and beckoned to us.
“anybody there! Come over here! Hurry up before someone comes back!”
I was honestly a little taken aback by Jamel’s unexpected performance. When I thought about it, it seemed that there was never a single time when Jamel felt incompetent when he was able to use his powers, even though he often seemed foolish.
“All right.”
As Giselle and I crawled across the dog hole, the soil moved of its own accord and closed the dog hole. We quickly ran to the nearest warehouse before anyone came. As Giselle expected, the entrance to the warehouse was locked with a thick padlock.
“Now it is my turn again. Hurry up and grab my wrist.”
As we grabbed Giselle’s wrist, our bodies sank to the floor as the extended shadows rode under the warehouse entrance. Almost at the same time as it went out, we rose again of the warehouse.
In the end, we succeeded in infiltrating the warehouse without any incident and without even knowing mice or birds. The musty smell of the warehouse filled my nostrils.
Giselle stretched out when she saw the warehouse full of crates.
“Then where should I look?”
I was honestly amazed. Giselle is capable. I knew it a long time ago, but just being able to hide the divinity of an evil god can infiltrate it so easily. Now that I saw it, the powers of Giselle and Jamel were very optimized to rob them.
“By the way, where did you get these necklaces from? You didn’t have it until you fell with us, didn’t you?”
“Oh, didn’t I tell you?”
“yes.”
Giselle tapped the necklace and smiled slightly.
“All of these were brought by your master.”
“You mean Master…?”
“huh. I heard that you killed all the libertio kids you found at the place you were dispatched to and brought them there just in case you didn’t know? It didn’t seem to me that I knew how to use it properly. Whatever it is, it’s good for us. Now, there are three more warehouses we need to search for, so let’s move quickly. By the way, can I ask you one question before I go back?”
“yes.”
Giselle glanced at me and continued speaking in a low voice.
“If you don’t like it, I won’t, so don’t be angry and listen. I’m looking around and if I come across something worthwhile, I want to get some. what do you think about it?”
What are you asking?
“What do you mean?”
“If I had to ask, it would be theft. If you don’t like stealing, I won’t.”
Now I understand why she asked the question.
How the hell does Giselle see me as a very blocked person.
“Anyway, isn’t this the warehouse of the upper ranks related to the Liberatorio? And I’m not that tight-knit. Really.”
She looked up at me with slightly open eyes.
“No, I’m not saying you’re stuck… It’s just that it’s better to point out these things with words.”
“Look at Jamel over there. Aren’t you already looking around without paying attention to me?”
Jamel was already very excited, opening the boxes one by one and rummaging inside. ‘I want to take care of this and I want to take care of that too! Alas! If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought a big bag!’ I mumbled, and at the sound of his name that came out of my mouth, he raised his head and looked at me.
“Priest Marnak! Did you call me by any chance?”
I laughed bitterly and shook my head.
“no. You just need to bring what you already have.”
“yes!!!”
‘Say hat!!!’
Jamel shouted that he would not be able to bear the sight of him having fun alone. With a soft light, my mother came out of my breast pocket. Jumping and landing on the floor, the mother quickly ran to Jamel and joined them in rummaging through the boxes.
You might remember that we didn’t come here to rob a warehouse, but to find a sacred relic with a sealed divinity…?
I was sure my mother would remember. I’ll just do one thing and go through the crates.
“Giselle.”
Giselle eagerly rummaged through the boxes one by one, then lifted her head when she heard my call.
“huh? why?”
“I don’t fully believe in Giselle yet…”
She nodded in understanding. Contrary to the calm voice, her mood subsided a little.
“huh. I know that. I haven’t shown you anything yet.”
“…but it’s okay if you don’t look at me too much every time. I don’t believe in all of them, but I still consider Giselle to be my colleague. I am not one to abandon a colleague over the slightest mistake.”
I added playfully.
“Rather, it’s more like a problem because it’s overflowing with affection. If you are a colleague, you can easily overlook the slightest mistake.”
I try to respect strangers, but I always put my people first.
“…”
Giselle pursed her lips a few times before giving a small nod.
“…Thank you for your consideration.”
“No big deal. Slowly, we also rummage through the boxes. We can’t just leave Mother and Jamel to work, can we?”
I searched all over the first warehouse, but there was not even a relic in the first warehouse, which is also a bad luck from the beginning.
“I’m going to the next warehouse now… Ha.”
Giselle sighed heavily.
“If I increase my weight, the amount of divinity used will increase, so I might not be able to go around all four warehouses…?”
“huh?!”
‘Hat killed?!’
As if they were competing with each other, mother and Jamel, who had been struggling with their arms full of junk, looked at Giselle with devastated eyes. When her mother stabbed Jamel with her elbow, Jamel hurriedly opened her mouth as her mother’s spokesperson.
“Then what do you do with these?”
“How do you do it? gotta put it all down If you want to get it, get it from the fourth warehouse instead of here.”
Patter.
Junk and junk spilled onto the floor. Mother picked up only a few of the clutter that had fallen on the floor and put them in the coin pouch hanging around her neck.
“oh?! Can you put in a few of mine too?”
‘Kill and kill.’
refusal to say no. Mother shook her head and laughed, saying, “Why didn’t you wear a coin pouch around your neck like that?”
“Don’t do that, just put in a few! I’ll let you start with five more stones the next time you play cards!”
‘…killing.’
“thank you!”
Mother held out her small palm, and Jamel smiled broadly and quickly placed a few bits and pieces in her mother’s hand. The mother quietly put the thing that Jamel had given her into the coin pouch.
Giselle, who had been silently watching the scene, opened her mouth slowly.
“…Can we really go to the next warehouse now?”
***
We searched all the way to the fourth warehouse, but there was no holy relic with Mother’s divinity sealed anywhere.
Everything was as expected. If the holy relic where the true mother’s divinity was sealed was here, there was no way Liberatorio would protect it in such a lax way.
“As expected, things are not going to be as easy as that.”
Giselle clicked her tongue and murmured.
“But you did one hit! Hehehe.”
‘killing!’
Her mother, who had filled her bag as well as Giselle’s, nodded her head, saying that it was indeed true. I couldn’t find the holy relics, but my mother was in a very good mood, probably thanks to the fact that she had packed a lot of valuable items.
Giselle and I, on the other hand, had only a few small items stuffed into our pockets.
“Can I not bring Giselle?”
“I’m already almost at my limit with those two bundles. If it gets any heavier, the necklace will overload and the divinity will leak out. It’s me, I just need to take my share of what Jamel took, so it’s okay not to worry too much.”
Jamel opened her eyes wide, saying “What?!”, but Giselle didn’t pay any attention.
“Then why don’t you just leave that bundle here? You know it’s over if I don’t move it, right?”
“…I’ll give! You can share it!”
“It’s okay to know. Shall we go soon?”
‘killing!’
The mother quickly transformed into a hand to lighten herself. As I put my mother in my pocket, Jamel smirked and tugged at my collar.
“Priest Marnak! How was I today? I think I was a very, very capable Jamel today! Priest Marnak thinks so too! If you think I’m competent, please pat me on the head!!! Hurry up!!!”
While robbing the warehouse today, it was clear that Jamel had been helpful. It’s much more than me who was just looking at it.
I patted Jamel’s head and laughed.
“Today’s Jamel was very capable. You have done very well.”
“Hehehe!”
Jamel, very excited by my praise, shouted while swinging his fists.
“I will just declare it! Today is the anniversary! It’s the day of troublemaker Jamel! I, a troublemaker, just died today!!! earth! earth! earth!”
The moment when a small fist struck a nearby box for the third time.
Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
The door to the warehouse we were in exploded with an explosion.
Jamel shouted in a panicked voice.
“This is not what I did! It will not be!!!”
A creeping voice soon followed.
“Oh, maybe…”
Fortunately, the explosion wasn’t caused by Jamel. Before the smoke had subsided, a sharp female voice resounded.
“hey!!! Take care of everything that makes money!!! I’m going to rob this place and go to the city anyway, so don’t cover anything and pack everything! Got it?”
