Episode 1259. Blasphemy!
Even the rushing water tends to rest for a while at the shoalmok before leaving.
Rivera Village was such a place for adventurers and mercenaries on their way to the Great Forest.
Adventurers and mercenaries from all over the continent checked their equipment at Rivera or supplemented the party with the necessary number of people.
Currently, the most powerful mercenary group in Rivera was Shakdoom.
It was as if their words were law until Shakdoom left.
And Schrager—because of his notoriety as a butcher—was like the signboard of the Shark Doom mercenaries.
As Shrager the Butcher raised his voice as if to listen, the Shakdoom mercenaries scattered throughout the village flocked like dogs.
The adventurers and mercenaries gathered in the clearing stepped back as if laying a board.
Surprisingly, no one seemed to be worried about Beauty and the others.
I don’t know if he didn’t say such a thing to survive in the Great Forest, but anyway, everyone just watched with interest.
A whopping twenty mercenaries surrounded Beauty and her party.
When all the Shark Doom mercenaries gathered, a mean smile appeared on Schrager’s face.
“hey! Hyung, are you going to get rid of the poop now? So why are you giving orders to people you see for the first time! Looking at your clothes, it looks like you ate some food at the temple in the past. We’ll take the pretty ladies to Daesoorim. If you refuse, you die. know? In the great grove, our will is God’s will.”
After listening to the mercenary’s words, Elio turned his head to Fabian.
“How is Fabian? Are you confident?”
“What are you?”
“The confidence to deal with mercenaries.”
“It’s not enough just me and Hareb (Paladin). That’s more than one platoon, right? Almost two platoons, right?”
Considering that one platoon had 15 people, two platoons was an exaggeration.
“There are also Solon and Tine Lock.”
“Even if they are, it’s too much. It’s like two platoons.”
“Don’t be rude. If you feel like dying, Lord Omar will help you. Yes?”
At Count Elio Lagoa’s words, Count Larva Omar nodded.
“I will be prepared to jump in at any time.”
“Did you hear? go see And Solon Kreatalock! You too go and help.”
Solon and Crea stood next to the paladin without saying anything.
However, Tynelock was conscious of his ambiguous position and did not move readily.
Baron Solon is bound by debt and will do as he is told, but he is a free man.
Elio, who looked at him with a dissatisfied face, spoke coldly.
“Tynelock! Don’t roll your eyes, make sure! If you feel that you are not a colleague, leave now. I won’t catch you.”
Then Tinelock asked again as if to confirm.
“Am I also an adventurer-sama’s companion?”
“Then what did you think? Are your co-workers different? If we agree, we are companions.”
“Okay.”
Only then did Tynelock approach the paladin with a somewhat relieved face.
Schrager’s eyes narrowed.
At best, they even warned me, ‘If you want to live, fall back’, but it’s increased by four more.
I feel like I’ve been properly ignored.
It wasn’t just Schrager who thought so.
The faces of the Shakdoom mercenary members were distorted, and the atmosphere soon became grim.
“What do these know about us!”
“Kill it!”
“Replay all but the girls!”
Rivera at the beginning of the Great Forest is a truly lawless zone with neither a lord nor a security guard.
The mercenaries drew their weapons and slowly pressed the three men in.
Paladin Almet Hareb pulled out the longsword bestowed by the high priest.
It is a sword exclusively for priest-class paladins, so-called ‘shooting stars’.
The fight stopped for a moment at the sound of a heavy explosion.
The eyes of the Shakdoom mercenaries shook when they saw Lahaq and France lying on the floor.
It’s like trying to break the momentum, but on the contrary.
Earl of Larva Omar waved his hand at Iline Silver with a grave face.
But Iline Silver didn’t react right away.
Even he couldn’t defeat Lahaq and France in one blow, because the opponent did it.
“Before we fight, let’s make a full statement. I am Elaine Silver, the leader of the Shakdoom Mercenaries. who are you?”
“I don’t know. If you want to live, lay down your weapons and kneel.”
For a moment, Iline Silver burst into tears, but she didn’t respond right away.
In any case, if the opponent is a sword master, he will literally die.
“The Shakdoom mercenaries are loyal to the royal family of Adria. If you don’t want to become an enemy of Adria’s royal family...”
“Kneel. If you resist, you will die.”
A blue beam of light emanated from the longsword of Count Omar of Larva.
It is the same mana blade as the symbol of a sword master.
In an instant, Iline Silver threw down her longsword and fell to her knees.
Then the other mercenaries followed him with high expectations.
Count Larva Omar looked around at the mercenaries and then went back to his place.
The gaze of the paladin and Baron Howard Solon’s party was directed at Count Elio Lagoa.
Everyone is curious about how he will dispose of those evil mercenaries.
This was especially true of Fabian.
He feared what would happen if Count Helio Lagoa cut off the mercenaries like he did in Crulli.
However, Count Elio Lagoa’s behavior was very different from before.
He wandered among the mercenaries with a sullen expression and only kicked the waist once.
It wasn’t even kicked with force, but the mercenaries squealed as if they had been stabbed by a knife.
Schrager, the butcher who looked like he couldn’t even bleed even when poked with a needle, trembled and cried like a fish hit by a harpoon.
“no! no way! Hehehehehe!”
The others did not understand his screams, but Fabian suddenly noticed something.
‘omg! Did you inject aura by any chance?’
Fabian asked sneakily as Count Helio Lagoa returned from kicking the mercenaries.
“Did you inject aura into them like you did to the knights of Putokoa?”
“uh. No matter how much they deserve to die, they cannot see blood in front of the saintess.”
“...”
Fabian looked at the mercenaries with sympathy.
It was because, considering the way they had lived so far, it would have been a better life to die.
Count Larva Omar belatedly learned what had happened to the mercenaries and stuck out his tongue.
Infusing aura into those blessed with mana!
It was truly a terrible punishment that only Count Helio Lagoa could do.
In fact, forcibly injecting aura into a person who only looks neat on the outside but has been blessed with mana was no different from cutting off a limb.
It’s because it doesn’t only splatter blood, it completely destroys a human being.
The ruined Shakdoom mercenaries left the village as if they were running away without informing the outside world of their condition.
Thanks to this, Elio’s party was able to easily obtain the accommodation used by the Shakdoom mercenaries.
“yes? What did you say just now?”
Fabian looked at Count Elio Lagoa with bewildered eyes.
No matter how much it is, you want to spend a room with a saintess of the Shastra Parakti Church?
It’s not that there aren’t any vacancies, and I don’t know why they’re trying to make such an irrational number all of a sudden.
“The saintess and I will use one room. So, look for Mr. Crea’s room. If there is no empty room, put Baron Solon and his party in one room.”
Fabian, startled, muffled his voice.
“Sir Lagoa, you’ve been patient until now, so why are you suddenly like this? No matter how beautiful the saintess is, that’s really not the case. If the paladin knows about it, it will be a real big deal. Blasphemy! Do you want to become an enemy of the Shastra Parakti Church now? There are many mercenaries in Rivera, so let’s find out if there are prostitutes.”
