Chapter 155.2: Dangerous Guest (4)

What? The viscount collapsed too?

Johan asked in disbelief. Geoffrey nodded.

Yes.

Hes not mimicking me, is he?

How could that be?

Giada said as he entered. At his sign, the slaves he commanded brought in medicine.

There is an outstanding doctor among those working under other captains. He brought good medicine for the body.

Im fine so let Geoffrey drink it.

Oh my, thank you!

Geoffrey gave an exaggerated expression of gratitude. Being able to take medicine made by doctors from the republic was a luxury not easily enjoyed.

While Geoffrey was making faces drinking the bitter medicine, Johan talked with Giada.

Your tricks are several times better than those of your cousin.

No, I am still very much lacking compared to the bishop.

Giadas voice contained sincerity. Johan was frankly surprised.

Was Bishop Biagione that capable?

, .

Do you know who shot the arrow?

From the rumors I heard he was captured. Just some no-name knight dastard. The Emperor must have sent him, right?

The Emperor must have ordered it.

They both agreed on this point. It was just too coincidental.

I should have thought of the Emperor.

From the Emperors perspective, he could shake the situation with just one arrow, so he had to aim for it. Johan reflected.

I thought it would be okay because no one could have predicted that it would come like this, but even if it wasnt directly ordered by the Emperor, his subordinates could have issued it. It was a situation.

It was a good thing he was wearing armor and had good senses, but if he had really been injured, it would have been dangerous.

Have the mercenaries calmed down a bit?

Yes. As soon as you gave the order, everyone returned obediently.

The mercenaries returned to their places in an incredibly obedient manner, as if they were demons who had been running rampant.

It was a surprising thing, even though it is usually difficult to find order again once it goes into a state of plunder.

The Viscount was sending his second and third children as hostages. It showed how urgent the situation was over there. Johan nodded and confirmed the conditions.

It was the condition he wanted. He could have tried to take more, but Johan didnt intend to go that far. Gold was gold, but the hostages were more important.

Were there any particular complaints from inside?

. . .Its not for them to make the decision, so its fine.

I heard the viscount has fallen, Im very worried.

Its fine.

Johans concern probably didnt sound like concern to the other party. Aolas expression was actually twisted with humiliation and defeat.

Prepare the donation to the church within a week. When I receive it, I will leave.

. . .Yes.

Johan nodded. The envoys behind breathed a long sigh of relief as they wiped away cold sweat.

They came with generous terms, but the reason they were nervous was because of Johan. They were afraid Johan would slaughter the envoys with a knife after being shot by an arrow.

With the negotiations over, it felt like the tension in their bodies was released.

The Count is quite an extraordinary figure to be so extraordinary. To act like that after being shot by an arrow.

Arent you praising the invader too much?

Its the truth, isnt it? Hes quite magnanimous.

After surviving a near-death experience, even the envoy party couldnt help but say good things about Johan. To them, Johans attitude was the epitome of generosity.

Although they had no choice but to agree when the Viscount fell and his children came forward to negotiate, they didnt expect to get out alive like this.

Sir Gophredo, who was with the party, also nodded.

To remain so composed after being shot by an arrow, he really is quite an extraordinary knight.

Speaking of which, Your Excellencys man was saying strange things. . .

What did that guy say?

That wizard Jyanina lent the Count the power of magic, and thats why his wounds have healed so quickly this time. That Jyanina-gong, isnt she the wizard who came last time? I dont know what that wizard is doing.

Of course, Jyanina was being held until the negotiations ended, and that happened because the negotiations took longer. . .

But that wasnt very important to the nobles there.

Lets question that when we get back. Isnt that going too far even if she was being held? Healing the counts wounds too!

Dont be too harsh. Thanks to her we were able to get out alive.

Seeing the glaring mercenaries sent a chill down his spine. The noble quickly nodded.

Its better that Your Excellency collapsed. Its also a matter of finding a skilled wizard.

I guess so. . .
