Episode 1252. Would knowing make a difference?
The next morning.
As soon as Fabian opened his eyes, he was so startled that he jumped out of bed.
Count Larva Omar, who was sitting on a chair by the window, glanced back at him.
“What’s the fuss?”
“Oh, no. “Did anything happen overnight?”
“A lot has happened.”
“yes?”
Fabian looked around the room in surprise at the unexpected answer.
But Count Elio Lagoa was nowhere to be seen.
“What about Lord Lagoa?”
“You went to the temple with Baron Solon.”
“A temple?”
Fabian asked back with a puzzled expression.
Although I traveled to many cities with Count Lagoa, I had never visited a temple.
As far as he knows, to Count Lagoa, God is nothing more than a ‘being superior to humans.’
A person like that goes to the temple in the morning?
And with Baron Solon?
Before Fabian could ask, ‘Why did you go?’ Count Larva Omar answered.
“Last night, mercenaries kidnapped Baron Solon and his group and tried to kill them. In the process, Crea was stabbed in the neck.”
“omg! Were you drugged?”
“Not only did Baron Solon and his group suffer, but you and I also suffered. “I woke up an hour later, but by then Baron Solon and his men had already kidnapped me.”
“I should have paid attention, but I have no shame.”
“It’s not your fault. Because I also suffered without knowing it. I think the mercenaries’ techniques were that excellent. “As soon as I woke up, I went outside and found Lord Lagoa looking for a treatment center.”
“So you led me to the temple?”
“That’s right. “It seemed like he needed more care from a high-ranking priest than from a therapist.”
In the case of fatal stab wounds, it is more effective to visit a high-ranking priest rather than a therapist.
A healer uses stitches or medicine, but a high-ranking priest heals immediately – with a divine, almost magical spell called healing.
“Did you lead us to the temple of Manapthras?”
“I see.”
“What about Mr. Crea?”
“You were lucky. “If Lord Lagoa had not been an apostle of Shastra Parakti, he would not have received treatment from a high-ranking priest in time.”
If it were Count Elio Lagoa’s ability, he would have summoned a high-ranking priest by force, but if time was delayed during the fight, Crea could have died.
However, when the priests of Manaptras heard that Count Elio Lagoa was the apostle of Shastra Parakti, they actively summoned a high-ranking priest.
This was possible because the relationship between Manaptras and Shastra Parakti was that of mother and daughter.
“It looks like Baron Solon and Taine are safe?”
“Except for the cold I got from raining all night, I’m healthy.”
“It rained all night?”
“It looks like the mercenaries tried to bury them in the yard of the abandoned house. “It was so cold in the morning that I woke up and found myself lying next to a big hole.”
“I was lucky. What about mercenaries? Are you in the security forces?”
“I heard they all died with their limbs cut off. “The leader must have been hit while running away and was found under a wall with a hole in the middle of his back.”
“So that’s what happened in the end. “The security forces will soon come to the tavern, right?”
Before leaving Krully, the transport manager will report the disappearance of the passengers to the security forces, and Crea’s injuries will be revealed during the investigation.
“It’s self-defense, so nothing serious will happen.”
“Would you consider cutting off the limbs of so many mercenaries as self-defense?”
“Even if you don’t admit it, you wouldn’t dare hold Count Lagoa guilty.”
Even the Southern Kingdom’s security forces couldn’t take issue with the Grand Master’s killing of the mercenaries who turned into robbers.
Fabian, who had been listening silently, asked cautiously.
“Is it okay if I move on like this?”
“What does it mean?”
Count Larva Omar looked at Fabian with puzzled eyes.
Fabian hesitated for a while and spoke as if he had made up his mind.
“These are the words of Lord Lagoa. “You weren’t that cruel when you were at the Hirhera Garrison.”
“Do you mind cutting off the mercenaries’ limbs and killing them?”
“Do you remember what Duke Killian Hale said a while ago about the sun god?”
Count Larva Omar nodded.
How could the words of an imperial noble like Killian Hale be easily forgotten?
“You said that when the brain is polluted by the dark ether, the ego is divided. Then you either become a crazy person, or you become a person with a completely different personality.”
“Do you really doubt Lord Lagoa?”
“No one knows this, but Sir Omar, please know. Do you remember what I said about Lord Lagoa going deep into Tameion right after defeating the demons?”
“Of course. “I went to Kodiak.”
Count Larva Omar nodded.
Count Elio Lagoa became the monarch of Mokubas to prevent the demons from crossing over to Hirhera. In the process, he even ate the monster’s heart.
“At that time, I told you that I ate the heart of a monster at the recommendation of Lord Shamos, and that I suffered from aftereffects for a while.”
“I heard it was scary in Kodiak, right?”
“Yes, later he absorbed magical power and returned to his original face. Even after that, when she got angry, her eyes would turn red like her demons. “He has become crueler to his enemies than before.”
Fabian paused for a moment.
I could have stopped at this point, but for the driver’s conscience, I didn’t want to.
“Maybe that’s why I cut off the limbs of the mercenaries early this morning. “In Hirhera, no matter how angry he was, he didn’t do anything like that.”
Count Larva Omar looked at Fabian with strange eyes.
I can’t believe that Count Elio Lagoa’s vassal connects the current situation with what happened then.
“You are Lord Lagoa in the dark ether… … Do you think it affected you?”
“Of course I believe in Lord Lagoa, but I am worried that even the sun god has been affected by the dark ether. What do you think, Sir Omar?”
Fabian neither denied nor acknowledged it.
To be honest, I am not sure what state Count Elio Lagoa is in.
“After listening to what you said, I think you are going a little too far.”
It is no surprise that great nobles kill mercenaries who turn into robbers.
However, cutting off the limbs of so many mercenaries was a bit harsh.
The security forces will just try to cover it up, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Rather, the problem is the power of the dark ether that can turn even God into a madman.
If Count Elio Lagoa’s ego were torn apart like the sun god, worse things would happen than what happened in Hirhera.
Fabian sighed.
“ha! If Lord Lagoa turns like the sun god, the world will be destroyed. Who will stop what he does?”
“Don’t be hasty in jumping to conclusions. He is an apostle of Shastra Parakti and will not become like the sun god.”
“It is a force that made even God crazy, can humans withstand it? If I had known that the dark ether was this scary, I would have risked my life to stop it. It’s all my fault. Even though I saw it clearly with my own two eyes, I didn’t stop him.”
“Don’t blame yourself too much. Perhaps the dark ether has invaded your brain as well. But you’re fine, aren’t you? Let’s assume Lord Lagoa will do the same.”
“But the look in your eyes when you get angry is completely demonic. “I saw a lot of demons in Tameion, and they look just like the excited Lord Lagoa.”
“… … .”
Count Larva Omar did not refute.
I can’t say for sure whether that’s true or not right now, but there was nothing good about that situation continuing.
“Have you ever talked to Lord Lagoa about that?”
“You said that the dark ether that was taken into your body at that time was not completely absorbed into your spiritual energy. “That’s why my eyes turn red sometimes.”
“If Lord Lagoa knows, I don’t think the situation is so hopeless.”
“Would knowing make a difference? “It’s a power that even the sun god couldn’t stop?”
Count Larva Omar thought for a moment and suddenly looked straight into Fabian’s eyes.
“What about you? Weren’t you also exposed to the demonic energy of the demons in Mokubas for a long time? “I don’t know, but I think you are more influenced by the dark ether than wizards who study black magic books.”
“Of course, it was difficult for me to bear it at first. However, thanks to the constant operation of the ‘Small Sky Circuit’, we were able to escape safely.”
“That’s it.”
“What?”
“Didn’t you just say that you were safe thanks to the ‘small sky circuit’? Wasn’t it Lord Lagoa who taught you that? I don’t know, but Lord Lagoa must have entered a deeper state. Let’s believe in his state.”
“But that’s because the results turned out to be wrong.”
“The Sun God and Lord Lagoa are different. The Sun God did not know that he was being influenced by the dark ether, but Lord Lagoa knew and took active action. Maybe he’s still fighting. So the results will be different. When the gods entrusted the task to Lord Lagoa, wasn’t it because they judged him worthy of handling it? Let’s believe in the gods.”
‘One of the gods went mad and was killed.’
But Fabian did not say those words out loud.
For now, as Count Omar said, we have no choice but to trust and watch.
Just then, Count Elio Lagoa returned.
The three went down together to the first floor restaurant as if nothing had happened.
Fabian, who was diligently deboning the fish that was on the breakfast menu, asked in passing.
“How are you feeling, Crea?”
“It’s almost completely healed already. I think healing is amazing. “You said you can only become a high-ranking priest?”
“Yes, I haven’t seen it in person, but I heard it can cure diseases.”
“It also cures diseases? “That’s amazing.”
“So, isn’t there a saying that ‘the biggest business among businesses is temple business?’”
“Temple business?”
“If you want to receive treatment from priests, you have to pay. “Didn’t you ask for money?”
“They said to offer a thanks offering. “Did that mean you had to pay?”
“So did you offer anything?”
“What are you offering? I wasn’t even cured. “I just said thank you.”
“But you didn’t say anything?”
“uh.”
Elio said he didn’t say anything, but in fact, the priests were hovering around him for a while.
Count Larva Omar and Fabian, who did not know this, assumed it was because they were apostles of Shastra Parakti.
Just then, Baron Solon and his party came down to the restaurant.
Crea, who spotted Count Elio Lagoa, quickly approached him, bowed and then left.
At the end of the meal, transportation manager Ryne Hyde came to visit Elio and his group.
“Hey, may I ask you a few questions of the adventurers?”
The attitude of the transport manager who came through Baron Solon’s group was as polite as ever.
Elio nodded.
“Please.”
“I couldn’t see any mercenaries, so I asked Baron Solon and his party… … . He told me what happened last night. I’m on my way after confirming that I just treated Mr. Crea at the Manaptras Temple. “I heard that the person who saved Mr. Crea from the mercenaries was adventurer Lagoa. Is this true?”
“yes.”
“ah! If passengers go missing, they are required to report it to local security forces. “The mercenaries have disappeared and I have to go to the security headquarters. Can I tell you what I know?”
Reinhyde looked at the young adventurer named Lagoa with a nervous look.
