The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 121

121 – You said you wanted to do it, right?

There is one thing I feel desperately these days, and that is that there are too many people in this world who say a lot of useless things.

“You’re crossing the Adernia Bridge. “Let me give you an example of this great bridge: the first Pope, Igor…”

Barhal, who was explaining all the history and origins in front of me, was also of that type.

As I watch Barhal, who has been chopping firewood non-stop for three hours, a question suddenly arises.

He talks so much, but why doesn’t his throat become hoarse, and why does his voice become clearer?

“Priest Barhal, where is our first destination?”

Three hours was enough to show respect for the elderly. Thinking that way, I decided to stop talking and asked a question while interrupting Barhal.

“Aha, now that I think about it, I haven’t told you yet. The first stop after setting foot on the continent is Zarqa Village. As for Zarqa Village, it has a large population but limited resources, so it specializes in invasion or trade…”

“You’re going there because there are a lot of people in need of help. So what happens next? And when will we reach the capital, Izesti?”

“Uh… That’s right. Next to the village of Zarqa is the city of Derdik. From there, we cross the empire all the way to Izesti. I’m guessing it will take about 10 days. Oh, speaking of the capital of the empire, Izesti, it was not the Izesti Empire in the past…”

“Oh, I heard a few more people are joining. When will they join?”

“I will be waiting for you in Derdik. Three cardinals and two crusaders are planning to join us. Oh, Brother Carmel, do you know what kind of people the Crusaders are? According to them…”

“I know them well. Then, when will we go to the Holy Kingdom?”

“I plan to stay in Ijesti for about three days and then move on. Ah, this must be your first time visiting Seongguk. “If I tell you about the origins of the Holy Kingdom…”

Three hours after starting the conversation, I got some decent information from Barhal, so I immediately cut off Barhal’s conversation, which was about to get longer, and decided to ask what I was really curious about.

“I’m really sorry for asking while Priest Barhal was speaking, but can I ask one thing you’re curious about?”

“Oh, please ask. “For an old person like me, there is no better news than a young person’s question.”

I asked with very serious eyes.

“Do you like baseball?”

I was wondering if Barhal’s identity might be the reincarnation of a famous person I know or if he was possessed by their soul.

“Baseball…? I don’t know what it is, but I don’t really like dirty talk. Because, I’m not in a position to like that kind of thing, and every morning these days, I feel really uncomfortable.”

But as if that wasn’t true, Barhal denied what I said and looked down at himself.

His expression, which was full of joy, suddenly becomes glum.

‘From baldness to erectile dysfunction…’

As a man, after seeing a scene where I couldn’t hold back my tears, I decided to give up.

I can’t help it. Even if you listen in one ear and let it out the other, you have to at least pretend to listen to what this poor person is saying.

“Ah, first of all, let me tell you about the example of the Izesti Empire…”

I decided to use Barhal’s flowing words as background music and began to get lost in thought.

‘With the situation like this, the Chaos cultists won’t sit still.’

It was natural. They would be drooling because I am already a vessel of sin, but haven’t I already suffered three of the seven sins?

So, it was quite obvious that the remaining Seven Deadly Sins would come after me. It is still unclear when, where, and how they will target it.

‘Let’s think about it. That Sloth guy won’t move until the end, and that Rust guy will be waiting for Lily in the castle…’

It’s full of opaque details, but one thing is certain.

With Envy, Gluttony, and Grid now dead, there is only one of the Seven Deadly Sins who would try to target me right now.

‘The sin of anger, Ras. He was a difficult guy.’

The pattern was simple, but his specs were incredibly high, as he was supposed to be the king of a ruined country who was crazy about battle and slaughter.

‘If it were him, he would try to create a situation where he could fight me alone.’

He does not fight cowardly. He was a guy with such simple beliefs, so it was bound to happen. I will never join Rust again.

Of course, I still don’t know how ignorant he will do it.

‘If he’s going to come, I hope he comes sooner.’

Ras, no matter how high his specs are, it’s a foregone conclusion that he’ll fall for me anyway.

“In the past, Ijesti was ruled by the tyrant Eron…”

I took the time to organize my thoughts while listening to Barhal, who was telling a story about Ras’s past.

Lily, Pilgrimage, Ras, Rust, Mort who will appear again, and even the Chaos Archbishop who will be plotting things behind the scenes.

There was a lot to think about.

Daphne, riding in an extravagant carriage, muttered with an expressionless face to Count Armad, who welcomed her.

“There is no need for this…”

“Please don’t refuse. As you might guess, this old man invested quite a bit of money to make Daphne’s journey a little easier. Or is there something missing?”

“I thought it would be too slow. I think it would be faster to walk…”

What a nonsense. You b*tch.

Count Armad, who had a really hard time holding back what he almost said, smiled desperately and continued.

“The money I gave to the driver is quite a bit, so let’s see the beautiful scenery and eat a lot of rare food while we’re on our way.”

“Hmm…”

Hmm, you f*cking b*tch. Count Armad, who wanted to say this, resisted the urge with difficulty and said.

“Anyway, nothing will change even if it’s a little late, right? “You are a student at Arden Academy, so you will not be able to escape from Daphne’s touch. It has been a while since we have seen each other, so wouldn’t it be better to meet in a more relaxed manner if possible?”

“Relaxed appearance…?”

“There is such a saying in the world. It is said that fugitives are more afraid of pursuers who appear leisurely than those who follow them in a hurry. In fact, the same goes for discipline. “If you get angry and get whipped, it only lasts for a moment, but if you get whipped while talking softly, it will be remembered for the rest of your life.”

“Oh…”

Count Armad was able to laugh inwardly only after seeing Daphne’s first attitude of acceptance.

‘Now I have created a debt of gratitude to this girl.’

“Then I understand that you will accept my favor. It will take about a week to get to Adenia, but I hope you enjoy it in the meantime and have a good time afterwards.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

“Now you’re smiling… I know you were scolded, but you’re really pretty when you smile.”

“Heh, I guess it’s because he’s a merchant. I have eyes to see. Oh yeah. You said you spent a lot of money, right? “I am not an unscrupulous person who just takes things for granted.”

After saying that, Daphne swung her hand and opened a space, took out an amethyst-studded necklace from there, and handed it to Armad.

“This is…”

“Then I’ll go. See you again someday. Count Armad.”

After saying that, Daphne closed the carriage door, and soon the wheels of the carriage began to roll.

“···I feel like I’m dreaming.”

Count Armad muttered, looking blankly at the necklace resting on his palm.

The Count knew that he had always been interested in artifacts.

He knew that the true identity of this necklace he was holding was an artifact so precious that even billions of dollars could not obtain it.

When we arrived at Zarqa Village, we each moved around busily.

The saint, Lily, traveled around the village, showing miracles with her divine power and instilling hope in those who were struggling.

Some of the high-ranking priests and paladins, and Duran and I followed the saint, while the rest of us were enjoying our free time after helping with the village work for about an hour.

As the schedule was going on for a while, Duran, who was walking next to me, spoke carefully.

“Carmel, can’t you just be honest?”

“What?”

“Your real purpose.”

Heads turn to the very serious tone.

“I had that thought earlier. “You, who hate annoying things the most in the world, would never have chosen to take on this annoying role just for extra points.”

Duran was asking me with cold, sunken eyes. What is my real purpose?

‘Baby, you have a good eye.’

He is definitely a quick-witted guy. Is that why? I was worried. What should I say to make this guy agree?

“Because I want to protect you. “That’s it.”

“Sister Lily?”

“Yes. As you may know from hearing various news, the atmosphere is unusual these days. “In this atmosphere, wouldn’t there be someone who would try to target the saint, Lily?”

“So… That means you were convinced and followed along? “Something will happen on this pilgrimage.”

“Uh. Or that would be really nice, but I don’t think that’s possible.”

“If that’s definitely the case, then I understand.”

Duran seemed to agree with what I said and nodded his head quietly.

‘Because it’s not just wrong.’

I think that if Lass is going to target me, he will definitely do something to my group. In order to create a situation where you have no choice but to fight alone with me, you will have to do that.

“Then let me ask you one more question. “This is a favor, so please answer honestly.”

“What is it?”

“You…”

Duran opened his lips in a more serious voice than before, his eyes shining.

“You did it with my sister, right?”

“What?”

“You know that. Holding hands, tongues intertwined, ravenous for each other’s naked bodies…”

“···Could you please stop being a damn thing?”

“Yes. Okay.”

Was this question a joke?

When I answered with a straight face, Duran smiled and looked at Lily, and I also turned my gaze towards him.

“Let me ask you one more question.”

“No, don’t do it.”

“Do you want to do it with my sister? “If so, how?”

“Of course, like a dog… No, stop talking like a dog.”

“Fu, fuha! Okay, I’ll stop. Well, what would that noble yet immature older sister do with a man… Uh…”

Duran, who was laughing and continuing his conversation, suddenly stopped talking as if he saw something, and the thought stopped for me as well.

The reason was simple.

-“So, I want to hold hands.”

Lily, who looked this way for a moment, said that to me with just the shape of her mouth and then turned her head again.

“Camel…”

“Duran, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you must be mistaken.”

“My sister said she wanted to do something to you right now, right?”

I was dizzy.
