Chapter 274 – Reunion
“The seat next door… ?”
Hearing Natalya’s words, he turned his head and saw an old man lying quietly in a seat a little further away.
“Ha… I’m glad you’re safe… What about Natalia? Are you not hurt?”
“Yes. I am fine.”
“Whoa… If only my arms were intact, I would have hugged you tightly… My arm hurts so much.”
“I will hug you instead!”
Natalya rubs her cheek against me.
Aside from the nice scent and soft touch, this cuteness is so pleasant that I inadvertently slacken my cheeks.
“The alchemist said you should apply the medicine and get some rest.”
“Alchemist… ?”
Our party is only the guards, mercenaries, and Natalya, a necromancer. There was no alchemist among them. First of all, why is Fade here?
“Are you an alchemist? And why is Fade here?”
“Ah, that. Do you remember that Hanseong-nim absorbed Drake’s life force?”
“Huh…”
I clearly remember.
My body almost exploded at the intense, tsunami-like vitality.
If Pussil hadn’t kicked me, he might have been in the middle of an interview with the Great King of Hell by now, really bursting out.
If so, ask for the sin of running away from death and be punished!!
Being split in half by King Yeomra, he was already dead, but he may have died again.
“Is that Drake, dead?”
“No, I almost died because I was absorbed by Hanseong. Seeing that, the priestess was very angry. He ignored Mr. Roin, who was attracting attention, and tried to rampage by saying he would kill them all.”
“Did you?”
“Then the Knights appeared.”
“Order… ?”
“The Knights of Count Arpagon.”
“The Knights of Count Arpagon… So far… ?”
It’s not that there are no guesses. No, rather, it’s only now that the ghosts are right.
The Knights of Count Arpagon asked our party for guidance, saying they would pursue Drake.
I left it to Fade and the other mercenary scumbags and ran away.
Besides, when I first arrived at the flower field, the old man found the footprints of a group of about twenty or thirty people.
Drake appeared shortly after and completely forgot about the existence of the footprints, but when she ran into Fusil, she said that she had escaped the troublesome pursuit.
It is said that it wasn’t just the dragons who came after hearing about Drake’s dragon fear.
“It’s a story that the knights showed up and the dragon race ran away… ?”
“Yes.”
In the first place, their purpose was to rescue Drake. That’s why Pusil interrupted me relentlessly as soon as I said there was a way to kill Drake.
Drake is a special monster. I don’t know, but it must be a precious familiar to them. Considering his strength, Drake’s weight class is like a living tank.
I couldn’t throw such valuable troops into the mud like a stupid dictator somewhere, so I rescued them and ran away.
“Whoa… So, are you saying that Natalya was away for a while talking to the knights?”
“Yes.”
For Natalya, the Arpagon family is a family of enemies.
Their eldest son, the next head of the house, Arpagon Kesiya, was jealous of Natalya, who had higher grades than him at wizard school, and incited people to bully her.
If the figures of Countess Arpagon knew her Natalia’s true identity, she might behave rudely towards her.
Even though Natalya is a noble, her authority as a noble is not very strong because she has left the family.
“Her identity has been revealed… ?”
“No. Coordination with the Knights was done by Trisian. I was just there to help.”
Trisian is also an aristocrat. He is the cousin of the Lord of the West Way and the captain of the guard, so he is not to be ignored anywhere.
“Trisian, are you okay?”
“Yes. The armor he was wearing was broken a lot, but he didn’t have a single wound.”
“Phew… I’m glad.”
“Hmm… ?”
Hearing that Trician was also fine, he let out a big sigh, relieved. At my attitude, Natalya tilted her face just like a smile.
Like an endless abyss, unfocused eyes look at me.
Those eyes, oh, those eyes!!
“… Why, why?”
“Hmm… I was wondering why, when I heard that Mr. Trician was all right, I was relieved as if I had heard that Ms. Roin and I were all right. Every time Hanseong-nim shows that kind of reaction to another woman, I must say, my heart gets really complicated. Come to think of it, did this happen while helping Trician?”
“Is it me, Natalie?”
“When Germi took control of his organization, Hanseong helped as if it were his own work. And various requests related to Elena’s research. She said that she wanted to help me a lot, and then she said that she was her fourth and fifth wife before she knew it, and she made bombshell remarks to me, Roin, and Thermia. How surprised I was at the time. If you think about it, even when you spent the night with Mr. Roin for the first time and when Thermia unnie became the third woman, Hanseong-nim always made a woman for me without saying anything. Why didn’t you tell me about them beforehand? Did you think I would dare oppose what Hanseong wanted to do? I always do whatever Hanseong-nim wants. Was it because Hanseong-nim didn’t trust me? What the hell is it? Why do I feel a similar sense of deja vu about this incident? Why? Why? Why?”
Natalia’s unfocused eyes fill her field of vision. Natalya continues the long words with her face pressed against me, her breathless.
Fade, who was watching from her side, stuck out her tongue.
“Wow, he was such a flirt.”
“Mumble mumble mumble…”
Natalia is still muttering.
…
It’s my fault. It’s my fault. It’s my fault…
After a while, Natalya, who had been muttering and spewing out many of her words, shook her head once as if her head hurt, and returned the focus of her eyes back to normal. .
“Hot. I think I lost my mind for a moment… ?”
“I am Natalie… A lot has accumulated on me…”
“Yes?”
“Oh, no…”
She hurriedly turned her back, fearing that if she brought up the subject again, she would just show it again.
“Then it hasn’t been that long now… ?”
“Hanseong passed out and lay down for about three hours. It’s already dinner time, I’ll sleep here tonight and go back to Westway tomorrow.”
“Um, that’s right…”
“Is the patient awake?”
A man’s voice came from the entrance of the tent. The one who entered was a middle-aged man wearing monocle glasses.
It’s a face I’ve definitely seen before.
“Dexter William, the branch manager of the Arpagon branch of the Alchemist Guild…”
“You remember? Are we old?”
He had met him once, when he was slaying trolls and selling their entrails and blood. I was impressed by his cool disposition of paying a higher price for the purchase without any action to catch the hukou.
Besides, he had admitted that he was a sign of Drake when he found it and brought it to the Order.
Even if you don’t remember a man you’ve seen once, you will remember him if you see him more than once.
As soon as she saw him, Natalya burst into flames.
“Ah, is this the treatment you asked for?”
“Yes.”
“Cure medicine… ?”
He showed me a bowl of thick green liquid as I lay there.
“It’s because there are medicinal herbs around. Natalia-san asked for a cure, so I made it simple.”
“Are you wearing it… ?”
“I will eat.”
“This… ?”
The green liquid in the wooden bowl bubbling and bubbling even though it was not lit.
Something like this… Treatment medicine… ?
There is a physiological rejection.
“Come on, keep drinking. Medicine written in the mouth is good for the body.”
“Hanseong-nim, I will feed you. Oh~”
Having received the potion from William, Natalya scooped out a green liquid with a wooden spoon and held it out.
“Am I Natalie? I’m not sick… ?”
“Lie.”
“That’s not a lie.”
It’s a lie.
I can’t move my arm and it hurts like being stabbed with thousands of needles. However, this drug is physiologically repulsive. You might die if you eat it.
As if she knew how I felt, Natalya smiled brightly while holding the spoon.
“I remember the first time we met. That day, too, I fed Hanseong. Do you remember?”
“Ahhh… Huh.”
“It’s the same as back then. Hansung’s arm will continue to hurt for a while. I’ll take care of you for a while. Oh~”
A spoon filled with green liquid approaches. I can’t avoid it anymore…
Yes, there is no way that Natalya will feed me to death by eating. Alchemists basically also make medicines. It will be fine.
Even this terrible drug, Natalya seems much safer than Denis William’s.
