Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 246
56page. the truth revealed (2)
3.
Ulan, Noah and Laurea.
Among them, the group paid attention to Noah..
It was she who first mentioned the existence of Asteban, the lord of the undead,.
Not only that.
Noah knew everything about how to fight Asteban, the curses and black magic he used, and even how to get rid of him..
The fact that he knew so much detail that he couldn't get it by ordinary means was understandably questionable..
“So, let me hear you.”
what the hell are you hiding.
Dillia's eyes twinkled as if to say something quickly, and Ulan, Noah, and Laurea exchanged glances without speaking..
some time after that.
It was Laurea who spoke first..
“great. I'll tell you everything.”
She has a very sad face.
But what came next was something no one expected..
“Just give me a day before that.”
“Yes? ask for time?”
“The reason is?”
Dillia narrowed her eyes at the sudden request for time. Laurea then explained why she needed time..
“Ulan just woke up. From the outside, I look fine, but I think it would be better to rest a little longer..”
“well that's for sure…….”
“Well, it's because I'm so hurt.”
Ian and Perticia nodded..
As if recalling Ulan, who was covered in blood while confronting Asteban..
Meanwhile, when Ulan was mentioned, Dillia was speechless. Because her actions that put a strain on Ulan's body were something she didn't want..
“i'm fine.”
But the middle Ulan opened his mouth.
like it doesn't matter.
“Aside from being a bit sluggish, there's nothing particularly uncomfortable about it. you can tell me now.”
“I said yes?”
Dillia glanced at Laurea..
with a somewhat elated expression.
Laurea shut her mouth as if she was momentarily at a loss for words. But after a while, she didn't give up and went on her talk again..
“That's good. But even if uhlans are fine, I need a day or so.”
“why?”
“I need to sort out the story..”
Even if you tell everything, it's a waste of time to just talk about it without any context..
So we need to organize the story so that everyone can understand it. This is why Laurea asks for time..
“So I'll wrap up the story for today and reveal all the facts tomorrow morning..”
I heard it was for good reason..
The group soon came to a consensus.
“Mmm, not bad. Because it's a day anyway.”
“yes i agree.”
“that's right. Ulan said it was fine, but she'd better rest anyway..”
Following Isabella, Ian and Perticia agreed with Laurea. He decided that it would be good for everyone to hear the organized story..
After that, Sven silently nodded, and Dillia had no choice but to step back..
“……okay.”
“Thanks, Dillia..”
“Well, tomorrow morning, we'll get together again, until then, everything, put it together.”
“yes i will.”
Opinions finally united.
Laurea smiled..
After a while, the group rose from their seats one by one. It was to give Ulan, Noah, and Laurea time to organize their story..
After the visit was closed, Laurea suddenly looked back at Ulan and Noah..
“everything is gone?”
“yes? of course…….”
“I'm asking if the spirits have gone too.”
She corrects the question and asks it back.
In response, Ulan looked around..
“not in the room.”
“good. then let's go.”
“what? Where?”
“The weather is nice, so let's go out and talk. It's better to be outside than to stay in your room?”
I wasn't wrong.
I had a little sore from lying down for a week..
“Anyway, come out when you're ready. I'll be waiting for you at the back door.”
After all you have to say.
Laurea left the room that way..
It was with an excited smile.
4.
some time after that.
Ulan and Noah headed to the back door of the hotel..
A relatively secluded place than the main entrance. Thanks to that, I was able to find Laurea easily without having to look around..
“I'm here?”
She looks this way with a smile.
Meanwhile, Ulan, who found Laurea, opened his mouth with a curious expression..
“I changed my clothes.”
“yeah, that's too conspicuous.”
Originally, the clothes Laurea wore were pure white robes that symbolized a saint. On the other hand, she now wore a light brown coat and a black robe underneath..
As I just mentioned, it was to prevent unnecessary attention. Murka was a city with many followers of Elloden..
“Anyway, if you're ready, let's go.”
“yes? where are you?”
“Follow me and you will know.”
Laurea laughed bashfully..
Ulan and Noah looked bewildered, but followed her without saying a word..
After a while, the place where the three arrived is a boulevard crowded with people. It was a market alley famous for being the busiest place in Murka..
“this is…….”
“looks like a market.”
Ulan and Noah looking around.
The two immediately looked at Laurea..
Like asking why did you come to this place? Then Laurea shrugged his shoulders lightly..
“I just came out to rest for a while.”
“take a break?”
“okay. You can think of it as coming out to relax and sort things out before you reveal the truth to everyone tomorrow..”
It's a reasonable answer.
Of course, Laurea seemed to have other purposes. An excited smile is proof.
“So, where shall we go??”
The time when I looked around with my eyes twinkling.
A familiar sound tapped in my ears..
rumble!
It's a sound from inside Ulan's stomach..
Then I remembered that I hadn't eaten anything since waking up. Laurea asked back with an awkward smile..
“Uh, let's get something to eat?”
“I agree.”
Ulan's eyes flashed fiercely..
Since the place was also a market, it was full of all kinds of food everywhere..
As soon as he made his decision, Ulan started to devour all kinds of food, running from place to place in the market like a hunter in the forest..
Food disappearing with tremendous momentum, like a storm. Noah and Laurea murmured in disgust at this sight..
“oh, that's awesome.”
“Well, I've been starving for a week.…….”
Ulans usually eat five to ten times as much as others. It was understandable since he had been on an empty stomach for a week..
While Ulan was concentrating on food, Laurea looked around the market with Noah. And then she burst into admiration..
“wow, so many interesting things.”
Eyes twinkling like stars.
Like a child looking at a strange toy, Laurea could hardly look away..
“Yes, it is the center of commerce..”
It is the most developed city for commerce and trade in the Serene Kingdom. In addition, the place where the three are currently located is the largest market in Murka..
Of course, there are many strange things.
“Come to think of it, when Noah was a player, he must have traveled to various places.?”
“well, that's right.”
“i envy you. I haven't gone on a trip since I was chosen as a saintess candidate when I was young..”
There was an honest feeling in her face..
Like genuinely envious. Meanwhile, she glanced at Ulan. Then Ulan, who was concentrating on her food, suddenly opened her mouth..
“I will have to leave soon.”
“uh? me really?”
“In your past life, you said that you became a formal saint and went on a pilgrimage right away..”
And during the pilgrimage, he and Ian will challenge the hero's ordeal. Ulan, recalling the events of his past life, spoke again..
“You can travel then.”
“……A pilgrimage and a trip are different.”
“hmm? is it different?”
“okay! because it's completely different.”
Laurea made a sullen face..
As if he didn't like Ulan's answer. Then she grumbled with a sigh.
“Anyway, I don't care about this.”
“I'm noticing?”
“To ask that question is to say that you are ignorant. Anyway, now this story is over!”
It was just something I said anyway.
Laurea knew better than anyone else that she would not be able to leave even if she wanted to, until her mission as a saint was over..
After that, the moment I moved my steps again.
met familiar faces.
“Oh, aren't you a saint??”
Paladins of Eloden.
Confronting Laurea in the middle of the market, they asked in surprise..
“What are you doing here??”
“I just came out of boredom.”
“Well, you did. I understand.”
Laurea had been locked up in a hotel for almost a week. The paladins who nodded suddenly looked around Laurea..
like looking for someone.
“however…….”
“Did you come out alone??”
“To leave the saintess alone? I guess I need to say something to Sir Marcus..”
The paladins' eyes narrowed..
He must have been looking for Ian, who usually escorts Laurea. Meanwhile, at their words, Laurea hurriedly waved her hand..
“It's okay, it's okay! you don't have to.”
Not to defend Ian..
If the paladins say that to Ian, the fact that he went out with Ulan will reach the ears of the other party..
So I desperately excused myself.
“'Cause I brought another escort.”
“yes? If it's another escort…….”
“you are here?”
Laurea took Uhlan's arm..
And then, his eyes twinkled. like asking for a match. Seeing this, Ulan readily nodded her head..
“okay. I will protect Laurea.”
“oh well i'm glad.”
“Certainly, if the hero of the stars takes over as escort, Lord Shanktooth will surely be relieved..”
Paladin Master, Cadel Dune Shanctus.
When his name came out, Laurea immediately asked if something had come to mind..
“Did Lord Shanktooth leave the city??”
“Yes, you went on a mission with the Heretic Questioner this morning..”
There are two main tasks given to Cadel..
One was a mission given by Laurea, and the other was collecting the remains of the priests who were martyred while digging up Sven's information here..
Furthermore, Cadel revealed that he was also tracking the Abyssal Worshipers who attacked the priests. Around the time I silently nodded at the news of Cadel.
This time the paladins came to talk.
“Rather, saint.”
“Excuse me, may I ask when do you plan to return to the Holy Land??”
It was a valid question, not an excuse..
I had to inform them of what had happened here, and I had to tell them that the trust had been fulfilled..
but still can't go back.
“I'm sorry, but could you wait until the day after tomorrow? There is a story I haven't shared with the warriors of the stars..”
“All right. I'll wait.”
“Star warriors are also related to the oracle. Then finish the whole story and tell us again.”
“yes, thank you for understanding.”
After this conversation, the paladins left the three and disappeared. Laurea let out a sigh of relief and rubbed her chest..
It was because the other warriors almost found out that he went out with Ulan. Meanwhile, around that time, Ulan finished a long meal..
“I'm getting a little hungry now.”
“That's because I ate that much..”
Noah replied with a tired face..
Ulan ate enough food to feed twenty people. If you eat like this and still don't feel full, you should go to the hospital..
“After dinner, I want to go get something to drink?”
Then Laurea spoke up..
It was because I was thirsty for some reason, perhaps because I had narrowly passed the crisis. Noah and Ulan readily accepted her offer..
“yes i like.”
“me too.”
“good. Then how about there? I heard at first glance that it was a pretty famous cafe here..”
Laurea pointed to a large cafe.
After that, numerous tables placed outside came into view. Seeing that scene, Ulan muttered involuntarily..
“I'm thinking of the old days.”
“huh? I've been there before?”
“I'm not there, but I've been to similar places..”
“where did you go?”
“Café in the Imperial Capital.”
After answering, Ulan brought up the story of touring the capital with Ibela several months ago..
Even then, I went to a cafe with a similar atmosphere to that place, and even brought up the story of meeting Perticia for the first time there..
“wait, what? who?”
“I went with Isabella.”
“……huh, that's right.”
Laurea's eyes suddenly narrowed..
After a while, she turned around with the café in front of her. Then Noah, who was following her, asked curiously..
“what? don't go in?”
“I've changed my mind. I want to go somewhere else.”
a hoarse voice.
At that moment, Noah knew right away..
That Ulan's answer just made her feel uncomfortable. So when she was looking for nothing, Laurea spoke again..
“And in fact, there were things I wanted to drink more than coffee..”
“uh? what is that?”
“I know when I go.”
Laurea licks her lips in silence.
Noah tilted his head..
Ulan, on the other hand, recognized what Laurea had said. It was natural. Her favorite drink has always been one..
“then let's go.”
Laurea, who smiled brightly as if she had asked when she had a sad face, pulled the two of them by the hand..
but she didn't know.
That there are eyes watching from afar the sight of Laurea and Ulan together..
