The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 226
mistake.
mistake.
Perley planned for most situations, but everything went wrong when one factor far exceeded her expectations.
Dacia’s magical power.
Dakia, whom she observed, usually used magic at the level of making and refilling water when the party asked to make water, or replacing flint when lighting a fire, and also used small-scale magic that was useful for interpersonal battles rather than large-scale magic in combat.
According to the original plan, in the process of escaping this hardship and adversity by joining hands with Dakia, the friendship between the women would have been strengthened
… Because of what he did, he left a trail too big for Marnak to follow.
As a result.
He himself had to face those black eyes shimmering with cold anger.
“Kellock.”
Pearly struggled to breathe as her throat tightened in silence. She tapped Marnak’s wrist, which was holding her by the neck, to express her intention that she might really pass out.
However, the grip on her neck did not weaken.
Marnak continued to tighten his grip on his neck as if he were really going to kill himself right away.
Due to the lack of oxygen, Perley’s pupils began to relax. Marnak let go of Pearly’s throat just before she really stopped breathing.
dump.
“Kheuk. Khehehe.”
Pearly’s lungs hurriedly gulped for air. She finally calmed down after being quelled for such a long time. Perley sat down and looked up at Marnak with eyes full of tears, laughing briskly.
“Should I kneel now?”
A word too carefree to be the attitude of a person who had been strangled a moment ago.
Pearly knew.
Marnak can never kill himself here and now.
If he kills himself in the mood right now, he will throw away with his own hands one of the means to obtain a holy object to offer to the god he serves.
Perley trusted Marnac. Any Marnak she had seen would know, no matter how furious, what was more important and what was not.
In addition, he was secretly weak to those he considered his allies. Although he wasn’t sure if he would fall into the category of ‘colleagues’ he thought of.
As she thought, Marnak was in the process of dissipating himself alone.
In fact, even he was a little embarrassed by the boiling, overflowing, insatiable anger. Maybe it was because he saw a seriously injured colleague for the first time.
Marnak took a slow breath. The anger was still there, but it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t make sense of it.
He still needed Pearly.
At most, he collected three pieces of keys, but he could not sever his relationship with Pearly, the guide who would guide him to the relic.
“In my mind, I want to cut you into small pieces right now.”
The tone of speech returned with respect. Pearly smirked at the willing signal.
“Should I get down and lick my shoes? If not… will you apologize with your body?”
Marnak immediately frowned as Pearly slightly stretched her collar to show off her white, soft-looking flesh.
“Do you really want to die?”
“Doesn’t this work?”
“The pun ends here. If you don’t really want to upset me, just answer my questions.”
“huh! huh! Ask anything!”
Pearly jumped up off the floor and laughed bashfully. Marnak opened his mouth slowly.
“I believe that if I had planned to open up work, I would have prepared for the aftermath of course.”
“of course! I prepared to organize everything without a mouse or a bird knowing!”
“Of course, he would have taken into consideration the case of Dacia being seriously injured.”
“that’s right! that’s right! I have a priest of the Restoration Church standing nearby just in case!”
“A priest?”
Marnak was a little taken aback when he heard that the priest was on standby. Because I didn’t know that Pearly, a worshiper of evil spirits, had a string attached to the priest.
Perley, as if understanding what Marnac was trying to say, pressed two of her fingers together to make a coin shape.
“Even the priests need money to eat and pack everything, so there are areas where money is more generous than you think! cancer cancer! If you really have money, you can do anything! Of course, there is a premise that the priests’ pride or faith should not be touched!”
“Please guide me there. Right Now.”
“huh!”
The moment when Pearly was about to step off with a light step. Marnak’s hands cupped her cheeks. Suddenly facing Marnak with both cheeks wrapped around him, Pearly looked up at him with a questioning expression.
Marnak looked into Pearly’s purple eyes, ready to burst his face at any moment.
“please. Please don’t let me hate you. Please.”
“Hi-Hi.”
short laugh. On the contrary, Pearly smiled broadly.
“You still don’t hate me?”
***
After receiving a firm promise from Pearly that this would never happen again, I headed to the place where I left Dacia with her.
“hmm?”
But in the place where she left Dacia, neither she nor her mother were there. I was taken aback for a moment, but fortunately I heard my mother’s voice from somewhere.
‘Kill and kill.’
Heading toward the place where she could hear her mother’s voice faintly, a soft-looking bed greeted Pearly. Mother laid the injured Dakia on the bed and was rubbing her limbs diligently.
Perhaps it was to prevent the deterioration of the wound by pouring divine protection directly into their skin, but from a distance it seemed like they were massaging Dakia’s injured limbs.
Still, when he saw his mother diligently nursing Dakia, his anger quickly cooled and disappeared.
There was a piercing wound on Dakia’s shoulder, but thanks to her mother’s protection, the bleeding from the affected area had stopped, and there seemed to be no sign of it getting worse.
‘Kill and kill.’
He grumbled that he should not die because dying would be a lot of trouble.
My mother, who had been immersed in the massage for a long time, smiled brightly at me, perhaps realizing that I had come here. In the meantime, his hands were still massaging Dakia’s limbs.
I couldn’t help but laugh softly at that awkward sight.
“Fortunately, I found a place to treat Dakia right away.”
‘killing!’
A word of good. I hugged Dacia and winked at Pearly.
“Guide me.”
“good. But after leaving Dakia with the priest, I think you and I will have to come back here. Will you please?”
Yeah, I killed them all in one blow, so I’ll have to clean up whether I like it or not.
“All right.”
“good! Let’s go! let’s go! Not really far!”
***
The large priest of the Restoration Church must have been quite experienced in treating someone quietly, so he quickly healed Dakia’s open wound and left the shelter that Pearly had prepared without asking any questions.
The wounds were all healed, but Dakia still couldn’t come to her senses as the fatigue was still there. Pearly grumbled as she dressed Dacia in the clean clothes she had prepared in advance and carefully laid her on the soft bed.
“Originally, this moment was supposed to be the last step in building strong friendships between women who have overcome adversity!”
“You’re only going to end my outbursts there.”
“Hi-Hi.”
‘Say hat!’
My mother, who had listened to me all the way here, narrowed her eyes and did not hide her wary of Pearly.
‘Kill kill!’
I didn’t see it like that, but I shouted that he was a very cunning human being.
Perley must have noticed the emotion in her mother’s eyes, so she rummaged through the drawer near the bed with one hand and pulled out something.
‘Hat killed?!’
What Pearly held out to her mother were various kinds of sweets and candies. Pearly put a hand full of snacks in her mother’s hand.
“I had no bad intentions! really! really!”
Mother looked at the snacks and Pearly in her palms a few times before briefly declaring to her.
‘killing!’
In the future, you are one word that I will definitely leave behind.
After the mother finished her short declaration, she put the snack in her hand into her mouth and chewed it. A very happy expression spread across her face.
Perley, who had conciliated her mother at once, came up to me and pointed with her thumb in the direction where the mansion should be.
“Shall we go back then?”
“I see.”
But there was one thing that bothered me. That if I leave, Dakia will be left here alone. Dakia’s body was all well, but I was a little reluctant to leave her alone here.
Pearly glanced at me and this time pulled out something large from the closet. This time it was Pearly that she took out of the closet. A woman who literally looked just like Pearly.
She pulled up a nearby chair, sat her doll on it, and laid it face down on the bed, smiling at me.
“There’s no way anyone will come, but if an intruder comes, my doll will protect Dakia. So don’t worry too much and go with me!”
“…All right.”
I nodded and called my mother.
“mother.”
At my call, Mother took out the drawer from which Pearly took out snacks, stuffed the snacks in her pockets, and quickly ran to me.
‘Say hat!’
One word that you can go now.
My mother and I followed Pearly back to the mansion.
‘killing?!’
Someone was already at the mansion. No, not someone, but someone.
People wearing gray clothes and covering their faces were busily moving around the mansion. Pearly looked at the scene with a calm face and pulled my collar.
“let’s go.”
“Who are they?”
“It’s a company whose job it is to clean up things like this! Earlier, I asked the priest of the Restoration Church to contact those people beforehand!”
Looking at the scene, I thought that Pearly had prepared in advance in many ways.
“If they’re going to clean up, why are we here again?”
Pearly smirked and put her two fingers together to make a coin shape.
“Of course I came to get something worthwhile! It’s only right to take the loot if you’re having a blast!”
“indeed.”
‘Kill and kill.’
My mother chewed on the snack she took out of her pocket and said that it was indeed true.
“So what is the loot?”
“It’s no fun if you know in advance! Follow me!”
Pearly led me across the mansion as if it were her own. When she touched the ornament in the middle of the hallway, the walls slowly opened with a heavy sound, and a staircase descending greeted us.
After following Pearly down the stairs, what greeted us was a dark basement. A smell wafting from somewhere tickled the nostrils.
“What is it?”
“I know when I see it!”
The stone-walled hallway was long, with doors hanging here and there. Pearly passed several doors as if it were her own, then stopped at one and opened it wide.
“As expected, they were all here before shipment!”
There was a pile of small leather pouches and boxes. My mother and I reached over and opened one of the leather pouches near each other.
Fine pink particles and a sweet rose scent.
“Could this be?”
Pearly smiled and nodded.
“What you think is right!”
Yes, where Pearly led me, what I found was a pile of drugs the owner of this mansion had made.
What the hell am I supposed to do with this…
Wait a minute.
Did your mother just get one of these leather pouches?
I suddenly turned my head with an ominous feeling and saw my mother dipping pink powder with her pinky finger and putting it into her mouth.
“Oops…”
Before I could stop my mother from panicking, a sharp scream hit my ears.
‘Murder, love, love, love!!!’
fluff.
With a shriek, the mother collapsed onto the leather pouches with her little finger in her mouth.
