Episode 216 Sky Fairy (7)

“Wow… those are harsh words!”

The great lord, who had barely managed to pull himself together, protested as if squeezing out his wits, but it was no use to Lilia, who had already obtained the evidence.

“Then what should I say? You can’t ask someone who isn’t sick if they are sick, right?”

The miracle of healing does not work on an uninjured person. The holy power is not absorbed and just circulates around in vain, but the priest who casts the miracle cannot fail to notice this.

In short, it was difficult for fake patients to exist in this world. If you pretended to be sick in front of a priest, you would only end up being laughed at by those around you.

How could you not know that, even though you are a great lord? You were just lying down in peace because it was a small village with no priests living there, but when a natural disaster occurred and Lilia suddenly appeared, you had no choice but to cry and make such an empty claim.

‘Well, even if I had stayed healthy, I would have collapsed soon.’

Galen chuckled and moved the magic of the earth.

The magical power flowed through his feet, into the ground, past the tent, and consumed the entire clearing.

Unfortunately, there was no one in the Brave Mercenary Corps who would have noticed that. They were all just warriors.

The only two people who noticed were Lilia and Shamita, and of course they said nothing.

“P, Priest? What is this… …?”

Meanwhile, the mercenary who had been excitedly bringing Lilia just blinked. Lilia asked in a bright voice.

“Are you asking because you know, or because you don’t?”

“I really don’t understand what you are saying… Are you saying that the Lord is not sick?”

“Well, come to think of it, I guess you don’t know! If you did, you wouldn’t have gone out of your way to tell me.”

“I guess he tried his best to make excuses. It didn’t feel like he had any choice but to guide me.”

Galen agreed with Lilia and added:

“The mercenary group is not small, so I don’t think everyone will know the situation. Maybe only the executives will know?”

“You’ll know once you check it out!”

“… … ?”

The mercenary, who would normally have scolded him to stop talking nonsense and explain properly, suppressed his anger because he was in front of the ‘priest.’ He was about to open his mouth again.

“Oh, we’re in trouble, my lord!”

Another mercenary ran into the tent. It was one of the mercenaries who had been standing guard earlier.

“We’re surrounded by monsters!”

“What? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Monsters! Clay dolls have appeared!”

“I told you to speak properly! What are you talking about!”

“Oh, shit! It’s true! A bunch of clay dolls are popping out of the ground!”

“What?! Is this, is it magic?!”

“You don’t have to make a fuss.”

Galen cut off the conversation between the two mercenaries who were shouting at each other.

“Because I did it.”

“What, what?”

“I won’t touch you unless you try to run away, so just stay put until the investigation is over.”

“What are you—”

The mercenary’s mouth, about to burst out in anger, closed like a clam.

Phaaaat!

It was because the sword of light suddenly shot out from Lilia’s hand.

Even mercenaries who don’t know the exact mechanism of miracles know this as common sense.

If his eyes sparkle, he is at least a deacon, if he has healing powers, he is at least a priest, and if he creates a sword with light, he is at least a bishop.

“Hiccup!”

Sadly, the mercenaries were halfway through their journey.

Even if we exclude the male wizard who summoned the clay doll and the unidentified woman sitting quietly next to him,

The bishop, who was on par with gold, was able to single-handedly wipe out all of the remaining Brave mercenaries.

“If there is no sin, there will be no problem. If there is, then there will be a problem.”

Lilia smiled brightly.

“Will you cooperate?”

Although it was in the form of a question, there was only one possible answer. The mercenaries nodded reluctantly.

“Uh, uh… … .”

Galen gestured to the great lord who was already so discouraged that he could not even think of resisting and could only groan in fear.

“I’ll leave that guy to you. I’ll talk to him.”

“Yes! Leave it to me!”

“What should I do?”

“If you are curious about church-style torture, stay, and if you do not want to see it, come out.”

“I guess I should go and see it.”

So the two women remained in the tent with the lord, while Galen came out with two mercenaries.

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

As soon as I got out, a terrible scream was heard through the tent. It seemed that the church-style torture, starting with the torture of the prisoners, had begun.

“what?”

“what’s the matter!”

The atmosphere was already chaotic because of the clay dolls outside, but when ominous screams were heard from inside, the mercenaries quickly ran to the front of the tent.

Galen tapped the two mercenaries who had come out together. They reluctantly opened their mouths as they made their deathbeds.

“That’s… the bishop… … .”

“archbishop.”

“…yes?”

“The Archbishop. If it had been half a year, word would have spread.”

The mercenaries, who took some time to understand Galen’s remark that came as soon as he opened his mouth, soon began to look even paler.

About half a year ago, this summer, the youngest archbishop was born, aged 20.

The portrait was distributed to ‘churches’ around the world, so it never reached the hands of mercenaries, but I heard that she was a beautiful blonde.

Of course, it could be an impersonation… but considering that he created the Sword of Light, it is clear that he is at least a bishop. Would a bishop who is crazy impersonate his superior, the archbishop?

“…Archbishop Lilia came to see me to investigate something.”

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty?”

“Investigation? Why on earth are we… … .”

The position of archbishop was too heavy to shout out that it was just a random rumor. No one dared to speak out for fear of the backlash if it turned out to be true.

“We are being investigated because we did something wrong.”

Galen threw it out to the mercenaries who were overcome with all sorts of negative emotions such as confusion, anxiety, nervousness, and bewilderment.

“You know how the church handles things, right? There is no need to act rashly unless you are pricked by something.”

In other words, it means that those who act rashly will be treated as criminals. The mercenaries’ attitude has become even more reserved.

If it had come from somewhere else, I would have timidly said a word, but the shield called the church was truly invincible. Since they were mercenaries without a backing, I was more afraid of the church.

“Please return to your seats and remain quiet until the investigation is over. Please leave one person behind.”

“Yes… … .”

The mercenaries scattered hesitantly. Only the mercenary who had initially guided Lilia was left alone, with a dying expression on his face, after being pointed out by Galen.

“You don’t have to be so scared because I won’t eat you. Or, did you do something wrong?”

“No! Absolutely not!”

“Then turn your face away.”

The mercenary forced a smile while internally cursing, “Can I do whatever I want?” It was even scarier because his face wasn’t pretty to begin with.

“Keep in mind that if you compare it with other testimonies later and find some errors, it will be a bit difficult.”

“I will tell you the truth, no matter what!”

“You should do that. First of all, I’m curious about what happened to that guy named Daeju.”

“That is… … .”

The mercenary introduced himself as a leader. Galen was also familiar with the Brave Mercenary Corps’ organization. He had information from the Mashrik family.

Five people, including the leader, form a group, and five groups form a company. The leader is in charge of twenty-five subordinates.

And the main force consisted of ten people. In other words, the Brave Mercenary Corps had a total of about two hundred and fifty members.

At first glance, it may seem like a small amount, but in fact, it was a fairly large mercenary group.

Most noble families only have a few gold members, let alone jewels, so unless the family sincerely steps forward, most conflicts tend to revolve around silver.

Since Bronze was only used as a supporting role and in reality, it only had that much ability, having more than necessary would only increase the cost of food without earning any money. It was difficult for a mercenary group that did not have a stable source of income to maintain even a few hundred members.

However, the reason why the Brave Mercenary Group was able to run smoothly was because the leader was golden and the major shareholders were all silver, so they could respond to requests that required a small number of elite members as well as requests that required a large number of people.

… is the superficial reason, but in reality, it was a large amount of secret support received from the Mashrik family.

“Our mercenary group was hired by the Amino family to protect and patrol the nearby villages. I heard rumors that there had been a lot of friction with the fairies recently, but I didn’t think much of it. It wasn’t something that happened just once or twice. But… … .”

“But?”

“My comrades who had gone on patrol to the north were attacked by the fairies yesterday. An entire company was annihilated, and only the lord barely managed to return alive.”

“Is that lord the lord of that tent?”

“Yes. We were able to get to the scene of the incident and recover our comrades’ bodies, but they were so badly damaged that they were almost unrecognizable, and everyone was furious… In particular, the captain and the other lords were extremely furious… … .”

“Hmm, of course the main character would have explained the situation?”

“Yes? Of course, the only survivor is the Lord… … .”

As expected, Galen’s head tilted crookedly.

If one of the ten corpses had completely evaporated and the body had been mutilated, it would be enough to make one’s eyes roll.

But if the Sky Fairy had really made up her mind to ‘raid’, would the ‘big boss’ have been able to escape alive?

A mercenary group consists of twenty-five bronze and one silver, and the entire race of fairies is at least silver. If only a few people came out, it would be easy to kill them all, but you missed the main character? Such agile sky fairy?

Although the probability of missing it by mistake due to being too careless is not zero, Daeju’s claim was not credible since Lilia had already found out that he was a nylon patient.

So what was the purpose of Daejoo’s false claims?

You were beaten by other guys, but you blamed it on the fairies because you were embarrassed? That’s just too far-fetched.

“So, where did that furious captain and the other lords go?”

“He… left at dawn today, promising to repay the fairies equally.”

“Do you know where the fairy is?”

“Since we were attacked from the north, I thought we should search that area to see if we can find anything… I have a rough idea of ​​where the fairy territory is… … .”

This is it. This is the real reason. Galen felt it intuitively.

“Is it okay if I confirm that story with other people now?”

“I really just told the truth! This is something that everyone at the level of a supervisor knows!”

Galen stared at the mercenary who spoke in horror for a moment before nodding.

“Okay, I understand.”

Leaving the mercenary behind for a moment, Galen went back into the tent.

Meanwhile, the bed was covered in blood. Dae-ju, who had faked a critically ill patient, was in a much worse condition than he had been acting, and was almost dead.

“Oh, brother.”

Lilia’s expression became a little serious, and Shamita’s expression also hardened.

“How was the interrogation?”

“Fortunately, the spine was weak, so it was easy to blow. The content of what was revealed wasn’t all that fortunate, though… … .”

“I asked the mercenaries outside, and they all said that yesterday, some of the mercenary group was attacked by the fairies, and only this one barely managed to escape alive.”

“He confessed that it was a set-up. He killed all the members to create a reason to attack the fairies. The leader and all the other chieftains are said to be in cahoots.”

“You guys are such jerks.”

Galen clicked his tongue.

“So, why did you try to attack the fairies?”

“That’s… Since the key person is the captain, I think there must be a real reason that only the captain knows.”

Lilia made an ambiguous expression.

“First of all, I know there are two reasons for this. First, to further escalate the conflict with the fairies. The more this happens, the more work the mercenary corps will have to do.”

“It’s such a crap thing, but the reason is easy to understand. What about the second one?”

“that is…….”

“Tragically.”

When Lilia hesitated, Shamita spoke instead. It was a cold, soft growl.

“It seems there is someone who wants our blood.”
