The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 177

arrival in the capital.

Six giants leading the Six Prophets Liberatorio.

So far, I have met two prophets in total.

Desperacio of despair.

Rudy Picor of Frustration.

The prophet who used the name of despair showed miracles with three inches of tongue, and the prophet who used the name of frustration almost lost his real life in one attack without a chance to use his hands.

When I came to my senses and woke up, I don’t know where they are now because they’re both gone. Anyway, these prophets were very bizarre and powerful, as if they deserved the name of leading the libertio. Right away, I imagined that I would face them again and collide with them, but even in my imagination, I couldn’t easily picture myself winning.

In the first place, I had never faced the real skills they revealed to the bottom.

Was Pearly intentionally hiding from me the fact that her sister was one of the six prophets?

Upon reflection, it seemed that Pearly had no particular intention of hiding her sister’s identity from me. When she met Ater at the ruins before, she honestly said that her older sister had made a card show.

I should have noticed something was a little odd when my sister said she easily crushed the four-fingered cardigan. Because she said it so lightly, I thought that Pearly’s older sister was a hidden powerhouse with a quick kick, but now that I see it, she is openly a strongwoman.

“You didn’t even know that, did you?”

Giselle looked up at me like a frightened Jamel.

Maybe it’s because they’re friends, so there’s a bit of a resemblance here.

I spared my words because it was clear that Giselle in front of me would get angry right away if I said the word that came to my mind.

“Could you possibly know the name of that Pearly’s sister?”

“…The woman’s name is Perpecho of Suffering. Like that woman named Pearly, she has purple hair and eyes and usually covers herself with a purple robe and mask.”

Following despair and setbacks, is it hardship this time?

“When I saw this, I don’t know exactly what I’m going to do from now on, but whatever it is, I think there’s a very high probability that it’s a trap set up by a woman named Pearly.”

Gisele glanced towards the cabin where Pearly was to be, eyes full of anxiety. A faint sound of laughter could be heard from inside the cabin.

His white fingertips trembled. Terrified, she was trembling a little pitifully.

“Would you like to give me a hand?”

“uh? huh? hand? Why is that all of a sudden?”

Giselle questioned me, but obediently held out her hand. I pressed the center of the palm I received with my thumb. A shriek soon erupted.

“Aww! Oh that hurts! stop! Sorry!”

He let go of her hand as he patted her hand.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden!”

Giselle glared at me with slightly frowning eyes, but I just giggled.

“I thought you put up with pain well, but you seem to have a lot of trouble than I expected.”

“Because you don’t even have time to prepare your heart, it hurts right away! No, why did you suddenly ask for my palm in the first place!”

“I tried to stimulate it a little because it was too much. It seems that my intentions worked very well. Don’t you wake up any more?”

It was only then that Giselle seemed to realize that her tremors had stopped. She bit her lip for a moment. After a while, Giselle’s mouth opened slowly.

“…I’m not a coward.”

Her voice as she uttered those words somehow resembled that of a wounded small animal.

“I never used the word coward. He just said he was a little concerned because Gisele was shaking a lot.”

“Isn’t that what you mean?”

“Fear is the law for everyone. It’s a feeling that you can’t help but have as you go through life. It doesn’t matter at all that someone has to be intimidated a few times to be truly courageous.”

I smiled.

“Some really important moments. If we can step over our fears and overcome them only in those few moments when we stand at the crossroads of the ‘real’ choice, that person must be truly courageous.”

“You…”

I tried to say something cool, but did it work well?

Giselle squinted her eyes and glared at me.

“Did you imitate the priest of the good god and then get too engrossed in it? Just now, you were just what the wandering priests were when they preached their own justice.”

“…just pretend you didn’t hear.”

At my reply, Giselle chuckled.

“Well, it’s a story I came up with to appease you. thank you. for caring about It’s a little better thanks to you.”

“I’m glad you’re getting better. But why did you leave yourself like that?”

At my question, she trembled briefly, as if recalling a frightening memory.

“…That’s because I’ve had a little peek behind the six prophets.”

“What did you expect to see?”

Giselle licked her parched lips with her wet tongue and spoke slowly.

“I saw the ugly hobby of Rudi Picor of Frustration. I was separated from Jamel in the ancient ruins, and for a moment, very briefly, I was assigned to help manage the human ranch he ran as a hobby, haha…” She took a

short deep breath and closed her eyes tightly.

“It’s too hard for me to speak with my mouth. It’s just really, there’s an abyss worse than any abyss of life. it was itself Thanks to you, I made up my mind to leave the Liberatorio and came to you because I found an opportunity. Besides, the place where I saw that woman named Pearly and her sister from afar was also Rudy Picor’s human ranch. Now you know a little bit why I hate it, right?”

She didn’t elaborate on what the human ranch was, but from her expression and atmosphere, it was clear what kind of place it was. It must be a place full of great tragedy and sadism.

And it was understandable enough that Gisele was disgusted at seeing Pearly, who came alone with her sister to such a human ranch.

“Anyway, I just hate being involved with the six prophets. how did i get out of there Besides, when I saw it from a distance, that woman named Pearly seemed to have a very friendly relationship with her sister. But a woman of such a noble position makes plans to harm the libertio? I just can’t get rid of my doubts.”

The Pearly I saw is a very bubbly personality if you put it good, and if you put it badly, it’s full of wits who don’t know what to do, so I think it’s enough.

“By the way, do you know to which faction the Prophet Perfesso of Suffering belongs? From what I heard, those who are sneaking around in the capital of the Northern Empire are the Versio faction who wants to bring evil spirits down.”

“…I’m not in a very high position, so I don’t know the details of the six prophets.”

“If Pearly and her sister belong to the opposite faction and want to give a blow to the Vercio faction, wouldn’t the motive for this incident be fully explained?”

“It makes sense, but…”

Giselle pondered for a while as she touched her chin. Finally, after a long thought, she opened her mouth.

“I am against it, though. Since you seem to trust that woman named Pearly, you will cooperate first, but I don’t know if she gets into an accident later. I told you everything I know So don’t blame me if things go wrong. got it?”

I didn’t believe all of Pearly either. In case I get the slightest hint of weirdness and my concerns become reality.

I was thinking of blowing off Pearly’s head, as I have done many times. Whether it’s the god’s vessel or whatever, it’s sure to be precious, so once you’ve got it, you’ll find a place to use it someday.

With a favor for a favor. With hostility for hostility. I will give you back only what I received.

“All right. I listened to your advice, so don’t worry too much.”

“…it’s enough if you know. But is it okay if I add one more piece of advice?”

“What is it?”

She touched the palm of my hand and pursed her lips.

“You are too kind to your people. Obviously, given your personality, it’s an act of goodwill without much thought. From the recipient’s point of view, it’s a good thing to misunderstand. I… I don’t want to get into trouble with this. okay?”

It was really rambling.

“What does it mean…?”

“…no, that’s okay. I’ll go back and spy on a woman named Pearly. If you see anything strange, I’ll tell you right away, so know that.”

So Giselle left for the cabin.

In fact, I knew very well what she meant when she said that. very well.

It was obvious how misunderstood my goodwill might be to the opposite sex. ‘Cause I’m not a stupid fool

But I had no intention of changing right away. In a way, the current party was bound by my pure goodwill. Yes, a group with only me as the focal point.

Because I was not omnipotent, I still needed others. Some might point fingers at me for being cowardly, but I couldn’t give up my current attitude that ties the party together.

Of course, someday, the time will surely come when we have to give answers to the things we are ignoring and putting off. It wasn’t yet.

“Ah!!! lost!!! One more round everyone!!! Just one more game!!!”

“If you lose everything, how about dropping out? Now, I have to compete with Pearly.”

“Ah, I haven’t lost yet!!! I didn’t!!! Just give me a little! Dacia-sama… no Dacia! Please have mercy!”

Jamel could be seen flapping through the slightly open door. Daciana Kadishodo smiling at the scene. And in their gap, their mother was smiling broadly.

Yes I could be anything for my dearest.

Sigh.

“oh! Priest Marnak is here! Since Priest Marnak is also here… Priest Marnak is included and let’s do it again from the beginning!!! Yep! I think that would be great!!!”

‘Kill and kill.’

At Jamel’s insistence that we lost everything together, mother also nodded her head, saying that it was truly correct.

Shall I play with your cute ulterior motive just this once?

I sat down with my butt pressed into the gap that Jamel had created.

“Would you like me to join you and make a new game?”

Dakia, who had the most stake, smiled and nodded.

“I like it.”

“hurray!!!”

And these too were very dear to me. I had a small hope that the precious relationships I had created would meet a happy end without omitting anyone.

I’m more cowardly than anyone else here, and I’m greedy.

***

Pearly smiled, waving her hands on the boat.

“Go quickly! come on! I’ll be waiting for you while rolling hard! I will!”

According to Pearly’s words at the gathering place last night, the key to the lair where the unfinished vessel of the god is hidden has been divided into three pieces, which are hidden by different worshipers of the evil god.

I had to find out who was hiding what key.

“Hatcha! Fides arrived!!!”

From the boat, Jamel and her mother grabbed a bundle the size of their bodies and jumped off.

‘Hat killed?!’

I quickly caught my mother, who had jumped down after Jamel, lost her balance and staggered. Dakia came down from the boat while sighing loudly, saying that her mother was alive.

“Then shall we go?”

Jamel looked up at Dacia with sparkling eyes.

“really! If you go as Dacia says, you can sell all of these at a high price, right?”

“If you tell me that I brought it, they will definitely buy it for you at a generous price.”

“hurray!!! Long live Dacia!!!”

The headquarters of the famous Merchant of the Northern Empire, where Dacia had most of the shares, was right here in Fides.

While disposing of the goods there, he planned to start his own investigation using the personal connections of Locles.

“I will take it. Give it to me.”

While I was carrying my mother’s bundle, I don’t know where the hell that strength came from, but Jamel lightly slung the heavy bundle over his shoulder and walked ahead.

“Golden coins are calling me!!! Yay-ho!!!”

“stop!!! Why are you running like this!”

“why…?”

Jamel turned around and tilted his head. Giselle, who got off after him, shook his head.

“Do you know the road here and run like that?”

“Ah?!”
