The Death Knight Became an Escort Knight for the Saintess - The Death Knight Became an Escort Knight for the Saintess chapter 135

130. What’s in the West Continent

130.

It was almost past 9:00 PM, at night time, when the Death Knight woke her saintess from ‘fainting’. They had reached the West Continent earlier than that, but it was clear why they had been waiting until then. As Erben pointed out, they were stowaways. However, even the Death Knight never thought that the saintess would be ‘fainting’ until 9:00 p.M.

“Wow! This is the famous sea serpent sashimi in the Eastern Continent!!”

…… That he would wake up from ‘fainting’ while saying such nonsense. Because of this, as soon as Esilia woke up from ‘fainting’, she had to face the Death Knight, who was making an expression that was difficult to describe.

“…… Eh? My City Serpent Society… ?”

Erben’s chuckling sound approached her.

“If you wake up, can you help me tidy up? Because I can’t stay on board forever. Get ready to get off soon.”

Upon hearing that sound, Esilia tilted her head slightly, opened her mouth slightly, and looked around her with a dazed expression. Her gaze, which had been looking around her, was fixed on one spot, and she gradually began to increase the size of her pupils. What caught her attention was a large rocky mountain.

However, it was located far inland from where they were. And what that meant was clear. The height of the rocky mountain is about to transcend imagination. Befitting that fact, Ecelia couldn’t close her open mouth.

“That…… It is called the ‘pillar holding up the sky’… ….”

“Right. The highest peak in the Western Continent, and the highest peak in the entire continent, Eindelph Peak.”

At Erben’s answer, the saintess of innocence exclaimed. Her voice was whispery, befitting the situation of stowaway, but it seemed difficult to hide the excitement that was leaking out of her.

“Then this really is the West Continent!!”

From noble mtl dot com

At the words of her saintess, Erben giggled again.

“Yes, lady. It’s really the western continent, so let’s go down now. So why not visit the highest peak, Eindelph?”

At the word ‘caliber’ uttered by Erben, Ecelia nodded as if her head would fall off, jumped up and down on her deck, and stomped her foot where she lightly laid her belly. .

The place where they landed was a stage where water-soaked wooden boards and a musty smell came up, and a chorus of rats squeaking between them, but the saintess looked around as if she didn’t care about any of that, and looked around her head. I walked around and looked around.

The appearance of a stowaway was completely unsuitable. Zer Pied, who was watching her with her luggage in both arms, shook her head, and another chuckle came out of Erben’s mouth.

The saintess of innocence came to her senses at the sound of laughter from the old elf, and wiggled her feet to the place where the ship was. She carefully lifted a load. Zer Pied shook her head once more and spat out her words in a low voice.

“Okay, look around some more. Gemini.”

“That’s right, do what Lord Huchi says! It’s not much of a burden anyway.”

“That… stop…….”

At the words of the two men, Ecelia blushed and didn’t know what to do. It was as if she, in effect, had left the two men to carry her luggage and she had gone down alone. Although she was excited about the western continent she had never seen before, the fact that she had left it did not change.

And while watching, the elf and the death knight unloaded most of her burdens, leaving only light items that she could carry without difficulty, and the fact that the two men didn’t care about the facts they were hoping for at all. Made it even more embarrassing.

“Just put it down, miss? These are all things we can get off without too much effort.”

Erben waved her hand and urged her to rest, but Esilia hugged her tightly as if her little baggage were something precious, and shook her head. Erben had to let out a sigh of hers mixed with some embarrassment as she watched it. Of course, the awkwardness didn’t last long. Jer Pi Ed casually threw his words in a passing tone.

“Then, we’ll have to put off dinner later.”

“Huh? Yes?”

“Anyway, if you want to move all of her luggage, you still have to go back and forth a few times, but it will take more time than Erben and I together. But even so, if you want After moving all her luggage, she tried to eat the representative food of the Western Continent recommended by Erben Ong…… Well, I can’t help it.”

“Huh? Uh huh uh?! No no! No!”

The saintess was on the verge of bursting into tears at the Death Knight’s careless words. She looked back and forth between her luggage and the Death Knight she was holding, and Celia closed her eyes tightly and put her luggage on the floor. She then wiggled her feet as she came to the Death Knight’s side. Seeing her come closer to himself, Jer Fied said to her in a low voice.

“Just stick by my side.”

Of course he never did, and he didn’t even want to, but Escelia sounded as if Zer Pied had left out her formidable – almost threatening to her – remark, ‘Otherwise no dinner.’ Because of this, Celia had to shut her mouth as she tried to let out a scream, and follow Zer Pied, who was carrying her luggage.

“Well, that’s it.”

After confirming that the cargo had been unloaded, Erben checked the ropes tying the boat to the pier once more. He shook his hands after confirming that they were tightly bound, turned his body toward the Death Knight and the saint, and opened his mouth with a grin. For Esilia, it was a word close to her salvation.

“Then let’s go have dinner.”

–

The place where the Death Knight and the saint arrived under the guidance of the old elf boatman was a shabby building on the dockside. At first glance, it seemed like an empty house. That would also be the case because the only fire in the building was a feeble level of candlelight. It was hard to find anything like a lamp.

Because of this, Esilia even had the idea that Erben Ong might have come to the wrong building. Just before, Erben Ong also said, “Is this right…… ?” Because he was snooping around the building muttering the same thing. Erben nodded his head broadly, as if he was sure he was where he was looking for.

“I don’t know. You’ll know when you go in.”

…… The words that came out of her mouth far exceeded expectations.

“Hmm?”

“Yes?”

There was no time to say anything.

-Bang – !!!

“Come out and receive guests!!”

As soon as Erben had finished speaking, he kicked the door open with his foot. It was kicked so hard that the impact caused the few candles in the building to dance wildly. In the case of the door, it was needless to say. As if the opening just before was his last call, he was spewing out his creaking groans in succession.

“What the fuck!”

Unfortunately, however, there was no one to look after the door. A roar of profanity, louder than the screams from the door, erupted from inside the building.

“Hey you crazy bastard!!”

And then a dagger slashed into the darkness, followed by a curse. The saintess was frightened by the suddenly protruding dagger, but Erben only smiled. Lightly snatching the dagger that flew into her own chest, she tossed it into the air and began to catch it.

“Ah, I managed to find you. A present for a friend you haven’t seen in a while, Grundel?”

“Yes, I was going to embed that gift into your pup’s heart. Shit kid. After a few years, what you’re doing is knocking down doors?”

With a grunting sound, a voice dragged along in the dark. Before long, an old Dwarf man appeared.

The dwarf’s bald head had a thick beard. The beard was so long that even though it was twisted and tied several times, it was dragging little by little as it reached the floor. Erben smiled and threw the dagger at the dwarf Grundel. Grundel also lightly took the dagger and put it in his arms.

The dwarf who had put the dagger in his hand had a cigarette in his hand. After lighting a cigarette with a candle, and taking a sip, a considerable amount of smoke filled the room. Erben frowned and muttered.

“Grundel. Keep a little bit Why don’t you know how to be polite in front of guests? This is why dwarves who walk with beards… Tskz…….”

“You’re fucking. Is your kid a guest? You’re a goblin who smashes furniture.”

“Not me, this way.”

“Huh?”

It was only then that Grundel found the Death Knight and the saint standing awkwardly by the doorway and looked up and down. At Grundel, who stared blankly at the two, Erben smiled and said,

“Did I tell you? A guest.”

–

“I don’t wear anything, but it will cost a lot.”

Grundel brought a large cauldron and spoke to the two. The strong muscles unique to the dwarves rose convexly, proving the weight of the cauldron. Every time he walked in, the food inside the pot containing four servings at once swayed, but barely enough to spill onto the floor.

It wasn’t just because there was a lot of food in it. And at the same time, Ecilia knew the identity of the dragging sound she had heard for the first time.

Grundel’s left leg was a prosthetic leg made of wood. Not just the ankle or the knee, but the entire left leg was replaced with a prosthetic leg.

Putting the pot on the table carefully, Grundel scooped food onto the plates in front of the crowd with a ladle. As the saintess swallowed her saliva while smelling the savory soup, Grundel continued.

“Soup made with giant squid and spider crab legs. It is the staple food of the fishermen here in the city.”

“Ah… thank you…….”

“If you say you don’t have anything on, isn’t that what you mean by preparing your upper leg to bend? How can you really not wear anything?”

Having said that, half of the soup on Erben’s plate was already gone.

“I could have prepared something more plausible even if your bastard hadn’t come without any contact!”

Shouting incredulously and shaking his head, Grundel spoke to Zer Pied.

“Big man, give me a chair over there.”

“Oh, you mean this?”

“Yeah, that one.”

What Grundel pointed out was a round chair without a backrest. When Zerfied brought the chair, which was lower than the other chairs, next to Grundel, he waited and placed the prosthetic leg on the chair.

“Hu, I’m finally going to live.”

Only then did Grundel, who was holding the spoon with a comfortable expression, stopped. It was because the saintess of innocence was staring at him, to be exact, at his left leg. Upon meeting the old dwarf’s eyes, Celia blushed and withdrew her hastily gaze. When she did her healing in her days in the cathedral, she was in the bad direction of observing the affected area.

“Oh, um! Sorry…… ! I-I didn’t see it on purpose… !”

But that rundel snorted at her as if he didn’t care.

“No. You can see it.”

“I’m so sorry…… ! If you work at sea, getting hurt is common… I’m too…… !”

“What? Ocean?”

The Saint of Erben’s Laughter suddenly giggled and had to look that way, blinking her eyes. I knew that Grundel and Erben were close friends, but I thought it was a little too much to laugh at someone else’s wounds.

But that wasn’t the reason Erben laughed.

“This guy wasn’t hurt at sea. Your job is a miner in the first place, what kind of sea do you work in?”

“Yes? Then… ….”

“This dwarf is right. The place where I was injured is not the sea, but the exact opposite, inland. To be precise, it was near Eindelph Peak.”

“I’m sorry… Have you ever been in a rockfall accident? ?”

The answer did not come immediately. Instead, the strange eyes of her two elders flew towards her.

“What, don’t you know, lady? What’s in the Eindelf rod?”

“A rockfall accident? I’d rather it be like that. Anyway, I’m surprised you don’t know. Let’s do it…… Western Continentalists don’t go out much. Yeah, tell me if you don’t know As for what’s in the Eindelf rod…….”

“Dragon.”

The three of them turned their gaze toward the low voice that had been heard at the same time. Among them, Zerfied slowly matched his gaze with the red and blue eyes of the saintess.

“Eindelf Peak, more precisely, there are dragons here on the Western Continent.”
