Gaiden 5
Raffel looked around her shrine her her trying not to show off her awkward mood her her her The all-white interior she was so clean that it hurt the eyes her There the lapel stood out like a splatter of black ink that had gone wrong.
Today was the first time Rafel had been to her temple. He lived a life full of struggles to advance at the feet of God. There was a lot of blood on his hands his, and he didn't mind threatening or stepping on others to get up. So he didn't even dare to go to the temple while he was alive.
In my heart, I wanted to run out of this place right away.
'I asked for an amulet to pray for safe delivery given here.'
Recalling her beloved wife's request her, Lapel quietly cupped his hand her.And she carefully knocked on the door of the temple.
Fortunately, it wasn't too difficult for Rapel to meet the high-ranking priest who said he would make an amulet. He was a duke, albeit with an honorary title, and the only sword master in the kingdom. Flowed from the mouth of the high-ranking priest who willingly gave time for him.
“It's an amulet to pray for an easy delivery… This is very difficult. I can't make it now.”
The priest who enshrines the goddess Odessar said.She was wearing a ceremonial mask, so her face was not very visible.However, the voice that came from beyond her was very neutral and unique.
Lapel was not interested in the priest's voice. He asked, furrowing his eyebrows when he said he couldn't just make an amulet.
“Why?”
“To make an amulet, we need to fetch water from a ceremonial spring from the mountain behind the temple. Only the spring water is untouched by human hands or uncleanness, and can be used as a source of holy water to bless the amulet. Lately I haven't been able to fetch spring water. Because of this, I can't even make an amulet.”
The priest explained the reason as naturally as flowing water. Rafel, who knew nothing about rites or blessings, could hardly understand what she was saying.
'What should I do with this?'
Rafel's blue eyes narrowed.Annette, being his first pregnancy his, was not particularly irritable or ran over his morning sickness his her.At least there was nothing to bother Lapel about what he wanted to eat.
At first, he thought it was fortunate that the first trimester went smoothly.However, Rafel found herself feeling sad inside.He wanted to do something for his wife who had a child of her own.But Annette did n't need anything. .
It was the first request Annette had made to him directly.So, Lapel wanted to listen to Annette's request her by any means necessary.He couldn't just walk away from here.
“Why on earth can't you fetch spring water?”
Rafel questioned the priest with a slightly coercive force. It was quite intimidating to see a man as sharp and big as a wild beast appearing like that. Unknownly, the priest who had bitten his body back replied as if he was unfair.
“It is said that an unknown monster appeared on that mountain. It is said that the monster drank a lot of water from the spring blessed by the goddess, and his strength was greatly enlarged. What should I do when I can't fetch spring water at all because of the monster's obstruction?”
At the priest's words, Rafel's eyes sparkled. If that was the case, he could have solved it himself. Raffel, who was in a hurry, stood up from his seat and declared.
“That problem, I will solve it.”
“Yes? What is that…”
“Isn't it enough to kill a monster or something? So, get ready to make an amulet.”
“Wait a moment, Your Excellency Duke. That monster…”
The priest followed him from his seat and tried to say something to dissuade him. However, Lapel, who had a bad personality, had already left.
Quaang
With the sound of the door closing, the priest was left alone in an empty room. Anyway, with personality. Behind him, the clown priest turned around and muttered.
“Where are you going to have a hard time?”
Raffel, whose motivation was ahead of him, ran to the mountain behind the temple at once.He had n't had much to fight lately, and he even felt his body his itching at the thought of getting rid of the monsters.
Arriving at the mountain, Rafel lit his eyes and searched around him. It wasn't easy to search all over this vast mountain, but he managed to do it. In the house where Annette was kept by her side of her, Yohama Rafel found the blessed spring.
“Is that it?”
Certainly, there was something special about the fountain gushing out of the floor.
Rafel strode toward Sam. Although I couldn't find the monster, it didn't matter anyway. I thought I could make at least one amulet for Annette if I brought some water from this spring.
Rafel removed the canteen from his waist and poured the contents onto the floor. And he went near the spring to draw water. Just then, I felt a strange presence behind me.
……!
Rafel drew his sword at once and looked back at him. Lapel's eyes widened when he finally confirmed the rumored monster.
“Kiruruk?”
Standing there was a Duke the size of a carriage. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary Duke with its colorful feathers inflated, but it had two heads. Four pairs of bright red eyes stared at Lapel.
That must have been the monster the temple was talking about.
Rafel clicked his tongue and aimed his sword at the monster.It doesn't look very strong, so I thought I'd get rid of it right away.But the moment he charged at the monster, brandishing his sword, Rafel realized that the task would not be so easy.
“Kiyi!!”
In the blink of an eye, Lapel's sword flew right in front of the monster's nose. Seeing this, the monster Duke let out a horrifying scream. However, it was already too late to dodge the sword, and Rafel smiled in repentance.
That was the moment. The monster disappeared at the same time as the pure white light flashed.
“What is this… ?” |
Lapel, who had cut through empty space, was confused as he retrieved his sword.As he looked around, an amazing sight caught his eye.There was another flash of light, and the monster appeared beside Sam.
'No way.'
A monster that teleports, I had never heard of such a thing. Especially now that the power of magic has almost disappeared, it was an ability that was even more difficult to see.
Rafel looked at the monster in bewilderment. It is said that it got its power by stealing and eating the sacred spring water.
Obviously, in strength and speed, Lapel far surpassed the monster. However, whenever the monster showed signs of attacking, it teleported away and ran away, so there was no way to catch it.
Even the teleportation distance and location were completely arbitrary, so it was impossible to even unleash a predictive attack.
“Kururu!”
But there were still more surprises to come. The monster, which avoided Rapel's attack as if it were a medicine, immediately teleported toward Sam. Then he lowered his two heads, and in the blink of an eye slurped down the spring water.
In an instant, the spring water that had been standing there was sucked all the way into the monster's beak and disappeared.
“Queek!”
The monster, which had been swollen from drinking a lot of water, snorted at Lapel as if mocking. Seeing this, Rafel felt omnious. But before he could swing his sword and charge, another flash of light burst out and the monster disappeared.
Rafel, left alone in front of an empty spring, was speechless.If it was a monster like that, it was only natural that the temple couldn't handle it easily.In this wide mountain, it is a monster that moves all over the place by teleportation, and it is a monster. How can you catch it with human power?
But Rafel was a sword master, and before he was a sword master, he was a husband to a woman and a soon-to-be father. And child.
“Great. Let's see where.”
To be persistent, the second, the saddest sound came out of his mouth.
In my mind, I wanted to kill the monster until I killed it, but it was realistically impossible. He went directly to the temple after stopping by, so he had no equipment or food.
Rafel packed his things as soon as he returned home.Having never been to war, his hand movements his he were unstoppable.However, if there was one hesitation in his mind his his, it was Annette.
“Are you really going to be okay without me, are you?”
Rafel, who had been fiddling with his packed luggage for no reason, asked hesitantly. Then Annette, who was drinking warm milk with honey, smiled.
“Sure. There's still a lot of time left, and if it were you, you'd catch the monster soon, right?
“It is, but still…
“Jeong, if you're worried about me, don't let it pass for a week. I don't think I can stand more than that. I want to see you.”
As if embarrassed, Annette lowered her eyelashes, making Annette's face glisten in the sunlight. Her fine and detailed features and her golden hair were indescribably pretty. Her words her coming out of her petal-like lips she were even more beautiful, and Lapel really did not want to leave her.
However, Annette, noticing Lapel's hesitation her, pushed him on the back.
“It's my first birth, so I'm also anxious. I think it would be much safer if I had an amulet with the goddess's blessings on it. So please take care of me, Lapel. Yes?” |
Annette's kindly smiling face Her she had an irresistible power Rafel could n't help but stretch his shoulders and leave his mansion.
Now that this has happened, Rapel's goal was one.
'Let's kill the monster as soon as possible, get the amulet, and go home.'
Lapel's eyes shone with determination as he groped for the scabbard wrapped around his waist his.
