[Francis]

– Attribute: Stigma double

– Skill: Holy Magic 3 stars

– Strength: 5.6

– Agility: 6.2

– Stamina: 6.8

– Sense: 4.1

– Holy Power: 15.4

Francis’ abilities had gone up quite a bit while he hadn’t seen them.

The two skills that were Divine Restoration and Divine Blessing were changed to 3 Divine Magic.

‘Did I get some enlightenment?’

This is why people with stigmata are taken by force from churches.

Although Francis is a person who lives away from the church, his divine power has already exceeded 15, and the divine magic that no one has taught him has already reached 3 stars.

‘It’s amazing when you consider that ordinary priests are 1 star holy magic.’

That’s why I want to stay close to Frances.

It was already proven in her previous life that her talent is at the highest level even within the Holy Kingdom.

‘Anyway, it’s a big deal. It must be a bit difficult for me to deal with if I become this strong.’

If it’s 15.4 divine power and 3 holy magic, wouldn’t it be the highest rank at the top of the knights as a swordsman?

‘It’s a problem even if I win.’

In order to completely subdue a guy with this level of divine power, you have to deal damage to the extent that he can’t even recover, but to do that, you have to cut off his limbs.

‘Tsk.’

If this is the case, convince them somehow.

“for a moment! I see there is a misunderstanding… … , I have no intention of fighting you.”

“shut up! won from the start From the fact that you came to me with that bloody body.”

“It was just a coincidence! Think carefully. If I had any intentions towards you, I would have taken any action. but i didn’t do anything to you I just ripped off some money… … .”

The last words murmured softly.

“I think I’ll be the most pissed off about that.”

“You are quiet.”

“yep.”

Rayman kept his mouth shut.

Francis is still looking at me with bloody eyes.

“Maybe he hasn’t revealed his true feelings yet.”

“While receiving treatment from you, I learned that the food you gave me contained divine power. The recovery rate was also much faster than normal.”

He must have been stumped by that statement, but he couldn’t refute it with his mouth shut.

“You heard it too, so I’ll be honest. yes i’m really strong You’re strong enough to defeat me easily. Even with Ronnie Karman, who was poisoned by warlocks, I think I can deal with you.”

“Do I look good?”

“okay.”

see-

I picked up my first marriage.

The sunlight was shining as it was reflected on the exposed sword body of the Chohon.

A soft metal sound resounded fiercely.

“What do you think is the reason you haven’t been accused of hiding here without entering the church?”

I raised one corner of my mouth and sneered.

“Do you have stigmata on your body?”

Then, her face turned pale.

“You, how are you… … ?”

“You can tell just by looking at the degree of divine power. If an ordinary person who has not entered the church has that much divine power, there is only one reason. stigma. Since the traces of a god are engraved on your body, you have so much divine power.”

Her eyes trembled.

The frustration and despair of being completely caught was on her face.

“Francis.”

I put my first marriage back in and approached her.

“I had no intention of fighting you or accusing you from the beginning. I have been helped by you and I will not do anything to betray that grace.”

“Have you already paid the price?”

“that… That’s it. Anyway, you helped me when I was in trouble.”

“it’s okay. The last time, the transaction has already been completed neatly. no debt to each other. If only you would pay me half the price.”

Again, Frances is a very calculating and thorough woman. Just revealing some money.

“good. I guess I was a little excited too. If you tried to do me, you would have done it long ago. With your skills, even if you threatened me back then, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it.”

Her expression softened.

His doubts about me seemed to have disappeared considerably.

“Because above all, you definitely pay the price.”

‘Was that the reason for your faith?’

It was true in my past life and now, I think I need to earn a lot of money to get close to her.

“Let’s sit down and talk.”

I sat at a wooden table and chair in front of the house.

Francis went inside and brought tea and snacks.

“So, please treat Ronikar?”

“To be exact, the magic that permeates Ronikar’s body.”

After the confrontation with Ronikar, Silian and I concluded a deal.

Silian did not know that Ronnie’s drug was made with black magic, and wanted to cure his son.

However, in order to get rid of the demonic energy spreading through the body due to black magic, it must be treated with divine power.

To do so, they must go through the church, but the church never forgives those who use black magic.

‘In exchange for curing Roni Carr, I was sworn to complete obedience to the Carr family, so this must succeed.’

Only me, Cohen, Silian, Jane, and Princess Ellie still know that what Lonikar ate was black magic.

Ellie won’t be able to divulge it for her own comfort, so it will be solved if she secretly concentrates on treating Roni Carr.

“ha… … . Frankly, I don’t want to be involved in this. I don’t like getting involved with black magicians. If I get involved with them, there is a high chance that my identity will be revealed.”

Anguish filled her face.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you know who I am.”

“… … good. I will do it especially for our future relationship.”

“really? thank you!”

“Are you prepared for the corresponding price?”

“okay. How much do you want?”

Francis is someone you can trust if you pay the price right.

This work is not my personal business, it is to cure the Kar family’s self-restraint, so there is no need to worry about the price.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter how much you call it. The Kar family will pay for everything.’

I calmly waited for her answer for the first time in a while.

Francis seemed to be a little troubled, then said the price.

“I need to serve as my escort.”

“… … uh?”

I replied with a blank expression to the unexpected price.

“money… not?”

“Yes, you need to see Lonikar’s condition first to know, but if treatment is possible, he will make a perfect recovery, so please act as my escort driver. If it’s escorted by a high-ranking knight, I’ll be able to move with peace of mind.”

“uh… … , You are misunderstanding something. I am not a high-ranking knight, but I belong to the lower rank of that knight-.”

“You don’t want to do this right now, do you? good. Then bring ten thousand gold. Then I’ll do it.”

“… … With ten thousand gold, can I just call the saint of the Holy Kingdom?”

“Yes, whether it’s the saint, the saint, or Nabal, call them and treat them then.”

I can’t help but laugh so much.

“ha ha ha… … .”

He sighed at the same time.

“ha… … , Where are you going?”

“The central northern part of the Racillene Continent.”

“The Kingdom of Rosaria?”

“No, before that. Between Brilliant and the Kingdom of Rosaria.”

Did I hear correctly?

If it’s the central northern part of the continent between the Rosaria Kingdom and the Brilliant Kingdom, isn’t it a lawless area where security is trash and monsters are infested?

“Why the lawless zone?”

“I have a job. I’m going to go tell me quickly.”

“… … Just think-.”

“Oh, and if you’re going, come along too. Because I need a hand.”

Rayman, who was pointed out out of nowhere, looked around with a puzzled face.

“I-you mean me?”

“Yes, you.”

“Why am I… … . If you need a hand, can’t you hire another worker and take him?”

“It is all money. Why are you hiring workers? Is there a useful worker here who knows how to use a sword moderately and has good strength?”

Rayman couldn’t refute Francis’ words and looked at me earnestly.

“Sir… … .”

“… … .”

Decaine is actually not a big problem even if you leave it empty for a few days.

However, in the meantime, it was because I was worried about the warlocks and grave robbers, but I also moved all the coffins to other places, and recently, there was no sign of other people coming, so it seemed to be okay.

‘I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. Rayman.’

Wouldn’t it be easier for me to travel with you rather than going alone with Francis?

“It can’t be helped. Rayman.”

When I told Rayman with a kind smile, his eyes trembled as if he were moved.

“Sir, I’m-“

“boy. It’s good, you too.”

I slap Rayman on the back, and he shakes his body willingly and nods his head.

“Oh no! that’s it! Wolf!”

“what? good? that’s good Let’s do that.”

“Good idea. It was a pain in the ass, but it worked out. Destination I will definitely look into Ronikar and tell you when a cure is determined.”

“okay.”

After talking, I got up from my seat.

Rayman also dropped his shoulders and stood up after me.

“Come on? Are you hungry?”

“That’s not-“

“Speak! let’s go! I’ll buy you something delicious.”

I didn’t cut off his words.

It’s just that we’ve been together for so long, so if we pretend, we’re kind and understand.

* * *

A quiet village in southern Brilliant.

Only torches burning all over the town push away the darkness and light up the surroundings intermittently.

A man walks out of the entrance of the village.

A man with dark hair and a haggard face. It was Luca Rogers.

After walking outside the village for a long time, he headed for an empty lot.

And there, Hamilton Lesias was waiting for him, wearing a neat outfit and accessories.

“You are late.”

“Are you Hamilton?”

“It’s not the first time you’ve seen my face, so why are you asking about it?”

Hamilton grunted in a disgruntled voice and slapped Luca on the cheek.

“There is no time, so let’s get to the point quickly. Emily, what did she ask you to do? What does she want?”

Luca’s black eyes stared straight into his face.

“what… If you’ve been asked… … .”

The corners of his mouth drooped slowly, and madness filled his eyes.

“I was asked to kill you. Hamilton.”

hooked!

At the same time, a dagger drawn like a thunderbolt pierced Hamilton’s heart.

“Cheuk… … !”

Hamilton was flustered by the unexpected speed and couldn’t react properly.

Red blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth, and the veins in his bloodshot eyes burst, turning his vision red. In the midst of it, Luca Rogers laughed like a madman.

“this… crab… radish… Son… … !”

“Hick, hee hee! die. die! die!!”

hooked! hooked! hooked! hooked!

Luca’s dagger stabbed him several more times.

It wasn’t until Hamilton’s wriggling fingers stopped moving that Luca stopped cutting and stood up.

His eyes, which had been wandering around blankly, returned.

Ting, Ting.

Luka, who suddenly saw the blood-soaked Hamilton beneath him, dropped the dagger to the ground and shuddered.

“Uh, uh, uh? how… I, am I like that?”

Embarrassed, he backs away and tries to run away, but hesitates and looks back.

A shovel and a pickaxe standing in a corner.

Luca hurriedly picked up the shovel and started digging frantically in a corner.

Then he made a fairly deep pit, put Hamilton and the dagger in it, filled it up again, and stole the sweat.

“All right, all right… … . If this is the case, no one will know?”

He took another look around and left the clearing with a sigh of relief.

“Quickly run away-.”

“uh? Isn’t that Luca Rogers?”

When I turned my head, I saw a masked man walking out from behind a tree.

Luca Rogers backs away at the sight of a very familiar opponent.

“T, Travis?”

The masked man lowered his hat, revealing his flowing blue hair.

“Call me Kate. Luca. What were you doing here?”

“Uh, huh? that, that… … . I have someone to meet.”

“Who are you meeting? who?”

“Hey, there is! you do not have to know!”

“okay? Where is he?”

“uh? uh, uh… … . gone! first… … .”

Luca keeps stuttering and not knowing what to do. Kate smirked and crossed her arms with Luca.

“ah! But I had something to say. See me for a second.”

“uh? what… what to say Hey, do it here.”

“It’s a little different here. Just follow me.”

“uh… , no… … .”

Luca Rogers was forcibly dragged away by her strong power.

“This is our house. come in.”

Kate took Luca to her house, locked the door, and threw him to the ground.

“Ugh… … .”

Rolling to the floor, he swept his butt and got up from his seat.

“Me, why are you doing this to me… … . You said everything last time.”

“Shut up and sit down. If you don’t want to get lost.”

Luka, who was silent at the sudden change of tone, quietly sat down.

Kate, who has been waiting secretly looking out the window, opens the door slowly after a while at the sound of knocking on the gate.

“grow.”

“How is the situation outside?”

“It seems like no one is there.”

“Tsk. thorough guys. It looks like they told that idiot and they didn’t even come.”

“Okay. Our goal was this guy in the first place.”

“Thank you for your effort. Lord.”

Luka, who was startled by Kate’s words and stuttered, looked at Layton, the man in front of him.

Layton grinned and walked over to him and grabbed Luca’s chin.

“For the time being, you should stay with us.”

“yes? Me, why am I… … ?”

Luca makes a stupid expression as if he still doesn’t understand the situation.

“You have been kidnapped. You’re a poor bastard.”

Kate, who was worse off, cursed at Luca.
