The Death Knight Became an Escort Knight for the Saintess - The Death Knight Became an Escort Knight for the Saintess chapter 126

121. Escape

“How, Ferien and I will find the ferry, so the driver and the young lady would you like to spend some time together?”

At the smell of the sea after a long time, the frigate couldn’t take her eyes off the sparkling horizon in the distance. The same was true of Perien, who had never been to the city center of such a port city. Completely caught up in the horizon, the to-be couple realized after a while that their questions had not been answered.

Feeling strange, the two elves turned their heads and saw a scene even more strange than expected.

His expression hardened. Even the saintess. Feeling an incomprehensible ominous feeling, the frigate cautiously touched Zerfied’s body.

“……… !!!”

The two elves almost collapsed at the sight of Zerpied, who hurriedly wrapped Esilia in surprise. It was because his eyes were staring at them as if they were about to stab them to death.

They never knew what to say.

“Uh… ….”

Zerpied glared at the two for a while, then looked at them alternately and changed to a puzzled expression.

“No, that, um…… I’m sorry. Frigate-kun, Miss Ferien… A little… You must be tired.”

“Uh… uhh…. That… Are you okay? If you’re very tired, take a break today and find out tomorrow…….”

“No!”

Hearing those words, Zerpied chewed and spit out. The two elves had to keep their mouths shut at the look in their eyes that could not be compared to before. Seeing this, Ecilia hurriedly stepped forward.

“Sorry, sorry. Mr. Freight. I just had a quick discussion with the driver, and I think we need to leave as soon as possible right now. I think you’re a little nervous about that. I’m really sorry, but could you hurry up to find a ferry?”

Esilia’s calm words saved the two elves from embarrassment. After they said they would do it anyway, although they were nervous, she left to do what she said.

Esilia, who saw the two elves leave, quickly looked at the Death Knight. His eyes wandered about anxiously, his hands wriggling as if they were grasping something. After watching him for a long time, the saintess could understand the meaning of the gesture.

It was a window. The Partisan was hidden in the shadows, but she pushed him so that her warrior instincts, like her instincts, would hold the spear when the need came.

Esilia grabbed his hand. Zer Pied was startled by the sudden sensation of her hand touching her, but he immediately relaxed when he realized that it was a saint. Ecilia silently put strength in her hand that held her. With that simple action, Zerfied felt his anxiety subside little by little.

Zer Pied nodded her head to Celia, who was a little stiff. The saintess let out a sigh of relief when she confirmed that his anxiety was gone. The Death Knight looked around with a much calmer gaze than before. Of course, what he was looking at were the paladins walking down the main street.

The gaze of the Death Knight who saw them again hardened slightly. If the saintess hadn’t held her hand, she might have been engulfed in anxiety again. It was dangerous for both of them in this situation. Zer Pied gently touched the accessories that blocked his divine power.

Three. Lack. At least, you have to save the last one to win. Moreover, unlike the past, they cannot even get help from the powers of the contractors. He had to protect Ethilia alone.

When she is discovered, even if she is lucky enough to get out, in order to protect her, she will inevitably have to reveal herself as a Death Knight. Then, will she be able to get help like now? It can’t be. Let alone help, you might have to wander only in remote areas like Lauren Jungle or Rephaim Forest.

……… Can i keep it

Zerpied slowly turned his head to look at Ecilia. Looking at her and her blue, red eyes meeting her, he tightened his grip on her.

Cilia also looked at his deep bloody eyes, and she smiled softly. The saintess whispered to him.

“Knight.”

“…… Hmm?”

“Don’t worry too much.”

“… ….”

“You’ve done well so far. She is well covered with a hat and dressed plainly. As long as Mr. Freight and Miss Ferien find a ship, we should be able to get away. Even if it is a general denomination, if it even blocks departing ships, it will be self-sufficient.”

At the quiet and soft voice of the saintess, the Death Knight sensed a certain feeling riding on him. He already knew what it was.

“…… You looked embarrassing, I’m sorry.”

He answered the question that just popped up.

No, it was a question that shouldn’t be asked.

I had to.

The Death Knight slowly gave strength to her right hand, which did not hold the saint’s hand.

“Excuse me.”

Zer Pied heard the sound quickly and turned his head in the direction he came from. There was a slender, expressionless human male, a troll carrying Morgenstern on its shoulder, and a female gnome staring at them. After watching them for a while, Zerpied asked in a low voice.

“…… What’s going on?”

“Ah, nothing else, there are a few things I want to ask… ….”

“Sorry, I don’t think that will help. We are also new to this city.”

“Hey.”

The troll furrowed his brow and made a purring sound, as if he didn’t like Zerfied’s attitude when he cut off his words and answered. A human male touched and restrained the troll.

“You don’t have to be so vigilant. Because we are these people.”

Not only the Death Knight but also the saintess had to struggle not to reveal their surprised feelings at what he showed. What they showed was a wooden plaque with the pattern of the General Church. After watching it for a while, Zer Pied carefully pursed his lips.

“…… What are the members of the General Church doing?”

As he said his words, Zer Pied stepped in front of Esilia.

“Ah, to be precise, I have business with the woman next to you rather than you.”

“I want to hear what is going on.”

“Of course I have to tell you. I heard that the daughter of someone with whom we have close ties, did not come home last night. As a person related to religion, can’t we condone such an unsavory thing?”

“You looked at the wrong person. This is the lady I serve, and I am a knight belonging to this family.”

“That is quite a coincidence. The person we are looking for is also a lady from an aristocratic family.”

“… ….”

“You just have to take off your hat and show your face. Or I’ll be there soon.”

As Benya Go said, he tried to move towards Esilia behind him. Then, Zer Peed stepped out and blocked him with his body.

“As I already said, this is the daughter of the family I serve. He thinks it’s against etiquette to tamper with it.”

At the words of Zer Pied, Lega breathed out his snort. At the same time, a voice filled with anger came out.

“Ibosho, a knight. It’s not that difficult, so why don’t you just show your face? If you keep doing that, we misunderstand, huh? Neither you nor that young lady would like to waste time.”

Zerpied turned his head to Legash. Sharp bloody eyes glared at him. But that was all. At the sight of him not getting out of the way, Legash couldn’t bear to let out a roar in the end.

“Ah, but this man is really…… !!”

In the end, Legash couldn’t get the wild expletives that were just about to come out of his mouth. Instead, only unsightly screams escaped from his mouth.

“Kkeuheoeouk…… !”

But it was force majeure. That’s why the man’s kick, which hit him directly in the chest, was powerful. Watching the huge troll fly backwards in an instant and smash the wooden crates piled up at the entrance of the alley, Benyago, who raised his eyes for a moment, gave a squeezing noise.

“She’s for sure! Catch it, you must catch it!! I don’t need a man! It doesn’t matter how you do it!”

With that, the gnome Lataa quickly drew out his daggers and clamped them between his fingers. And immediately, the daggers flew at the huge man.

-Paba Park- !

Latia couldn’t stop smiling when she saw the daggers pierced right into his elbow. It was a hit. She waited for the man to stumble and fall as she watched the daggers stabbed in the vitals to the point of admiration.

She was taken aback when she saw the man’s hand that flew in casually.

-Chin – !

It was a man’s hand enough to hold her own face. Catch her head in one of her hands, she let out her screams.

“Aaaaah – ! You you! Hey, don’t let this go-?!”

Zerpied granted her wish. He ‘threw’ her from her.

“Ouch…… !”

Legash gnashed his teeth and stood up. One of his ribs was completely broken, but his troll’s unique regenerative powers put him back on his feet in minutes. Perhaps the fact that he is a troll with exceptionally good regenerative abilities also played a role.

However, I grabbed one side of his chest where I could feel the pain because it hadn’t fully healed, and stabbed Morgenstern with the other hand. A growl came out of his mouth.

“You fucking bastard -! I’ll make your baby the same!”

It was a truly courageous cry, but this time, too, he failed to achieve his will. With a shrieking cry from Ratia, who flew into her own chest, he had to roll over again. It was a bonus that the ribs that had barely healed were smashed again.

Seeing the two comrades who were subdued in an instant, Benyago drew his two longswords while grinding his teeth. Before coming here, Latia had already told another colleague to report to the leader.

But I couldn’t stay still like this. He had to hold on somehow until other colleagues came or support from the Order came.

He hissed in a hoarse voice, as if in a whisper.

“You’d better stay still. In any case, the Holy Knights will surround this place. You can’t beat the knights alone, can you? Be polite, send that woman this way.”

Zerpied realized why Benjago didn’t run straight away. Capturing someone alive without killing them is only possible if you win easily because your skill gap with your opponent is very large. Even now, it’s similar, although it’s a third person, not an opponent.

However, the skill gap was the opposite. Now, it was clear that the author was concerned about hurting her saintess in the process of taking her away if he aimed at her saintess while avoiding herself.

It was an encouraging fact, but he couldn’t be happier. If the encirclement of the Knights was true, even if it wasn’t true, they would be at a disadvantage if they had some way to contact them.

If I went on a rampage for no reason, the paladins roaming around the area might show interest. Even though this place is on the edge of the main street, even now, little by little, citizens were snooping around to see what was going on. First of all, in order to pass the time, he slowly released his attack stance.

Seeing that he loosened his attack stance, Benya Go twisted his lips.

“Good idea. Yes, my life is precious.”

He slowly moved forward with his longsword and twisted it slightly. That was right. That life is precious. Wouldn’t it kill to cut off a couple of his limbs? When he got within range, he quickly swung his longsword.

-Piik – !

A red thing gushed out.

However, it wasn’t blood.

“Keah… ! Kuk… !”

What he cut was a large sack of red spice powder that suddenly flew in. Benyago had to cough up his cough at the spicy scent of spices typical of the southern mountains.

“What is this…… ! Keoheouk… !”

As the powders scattered in all directions, the Death Knight immediately pulled Esilia into her arms to prevent her from breathing in her spices. As he was about to hit his run, he heard a familiar whisper beside him.

“Knight, lady!”

“This way, this way!”

Frigit and Ferien were beckoning towards them from the side alley.

“Miss Frigit, Miss Ferien… Those people….”

“I know, people from the church, right? I saw you holding your church affiliation plaque. When I asked why there were so many paladins all of a sudden, it must have been because of the two of them?”

At the words of the frigate, the Death Knight shut her mouth. It was the same with Esilia, who was trying to amplify her in line with the Death Knight. She saw that the Church was hostile, so it was too much to ask for help. However, the two elves grinned at their reaction.

“Now take it here. It’s a map to where the ship is.”

The Death Knight had to blink his eyes wide at the note they were holding in his hand. He mumbled.

“Okay… I will… ? That we’re being chased by the Church…….”

“What do you know? But that doesn’t change the fact that you two helped us.”

“But you two might not be able to set foot in the city…… !”

At the saintess’ tearful words, Ferien giggled.

“If it’s true, I’ll just live on hunting and eating fruit in my hometown. Could it be that there is not even a single herb in Lauren, which is full of all kinds of vegetation?”

“Really… thanks… ….”

Ferien interrupted the saintess’ words of thanks infrequently and spoke quickly.

“It’s okay, go ahead. Now that the sight is blocked, it’s an opportunity. We’ll stop them. No matter how much it is, can the church really have to kill people on the main street?”

The Death Knight, who was listening to the two of them, nodded his head seriously.

“Thank you. Mr. Frigate, Miss Ferien.”

Frigit chuckled.

“If you’re thankful, you might as well go to the Western Continent. Do you know how hard it was to ejaculate on that person?”

“I will definitely repay this favor someday…….”

At the saintess’s words, Ferien shouted nervously. But she didn’t know the corners of her mouth would go down.

“Ah, just go! I didn’t expect to part like this, but goodbye, you two.”

Death Knight nodded her head once more. Grabbing Escelia under her clothes, he started running quickly toward the main street.

“Damn it…… !”

Shaking off the spice powder flying towards his face, Benya Go frowned. His face was a mess. His usual deadpanness was gone and he was covered in his tears and snot. As soon as his vision was restored, a harsh curse flowed from his mouth as he confirmed that the two had disappeared before his eyes.

“Hey, hey… ….”

“Huh?”

He opened his blind eyes wide at the sudden voice. Standing in front of him was an elf male he had never seen before. He grabs his arm, wondering if he’s hurt somewhere.

“What… I’m busy right now so go…… !”

“Ah, no, because that troll’s arm was injured by the flying shrapnel when he broke the crate earlier… ….”

“So what should I do…… !”

The flinching elf’s eyes brightened when he saw something. Following his gaze, Benjago could see that the elf was looking at the Order’s wooden shield hanging from his wrist.

“Ah, looking at it now, you are a member of the church, right? Thank god. I was worried that the story would be long again. Then I’ll ask for some treatment. I think I broke my arm…….”

“I’m busy right now, can’t you hear me telling you to go? If you’re injured, go to a nearby church. There is no time for that.”

Seeing nothing else, Ben Yago couldn’t help but mutter that in a ferocious voice, and the elf flinched back. It was when he strode and tried to put his foot down. He finally raised his longsword at the sudden action of the elf grabbing his leg.

“Damn it, go away! Do you want to cut off your head, not your arm!!”

“Please, please…… ! If you get to the cathedral, I won’t be able to work during that time… ! If you can’t carry all your luggage, you won’t get today’s wages… ! You are a member of the church… ! Please help me just once… !!!”

Ben Yago wanted to cut his throat right away, but he couldn’t. It was because the elf shouted in addition to the commotion earlier, and the citizens who were walking on the main street from afar were interested in what was going on and gathered. Every time the elf grabbed his leg and whined, the wooden plaque on his wrist shook in a truly profane way.

‘Such a fuck!!!!!’

Unfortunately, he couldn’t even utter that swear word.
