The Death Knight Became an Escort Knight for the Saintess

95. The Price of Mistakes

95.

“…… So, what the hell is an arm of the 10 knights?”

Zerfied managed to shake off the question that was trying to swallow him completely. At the words of the Death Knight, the saintess of innocence also succeeded in getting out of the mystery with the sound of ‘Ah!’.

“Arms of the Twelve Knights refer to twelve weapons in the Western Continent. There are twelve in total, one pair of helmet and one weapon.”

“Did you say ‘armor’?”

The Death Knight tilted his head. The Twelve Knights Arms literally referred to the twelve arms. I wondered if there was a metaphorical meaning mixed in before I heard it, but there was no such thing. That’s why the Death Knight couldn’t understand it even more. Why are the 12 arms, nothing else, so famous that even an elf who has never been outside of Lauren knows?

As if he had read the Death Knight’s question, Prigate kicked open his mouth.

“Because the quality of the arms is quite good.”

Death Knight’s doubts only deepened. Just because of that? It was Ferien who came forward to answer the question this time.

“Nobody knows when that started?”

“Hmm?”

The two elves let out a satisfied laugh, as if the death knight was interested in her. Perien continued. Her expression was full of excitement.

As Celia watched the scene from her side, it was as if she was watching Perenia’s older sister, who was telling scary stories to her younger siblings on a rainy night. It was so obvious to her why she was immersed in her memories.

“Literally no one knows. It was found in a very unexpected place. It’s the Arbis Plateau, like no other place.”

Because she, like the frigate I’m talking about now, was a role that amplified the fright of the story by standing next to Fernia. Of course, the current story wasn’t particularly terrifying.

“Records say it was first discovered several hundred years ago. The Arbis Plateau is by no means a low-lying place, but there were 12 weapons stuck out of nowhere. That’s why people who found it in the records said they thought it was amazing.”

She has an exciting expression on her face similar to that of her elves, and she decided to incarnate as a storyteller when she was young rather than a saint of innocence now.

“Because Godot is a Godot, few people approach it, but everyone is surprised to see the 12 weapons lying there. Do you know the driver? The western continent is a place where dwarves and gnomes have lived for a long time, so there are many mountain ranges.”

“There are 12 weapons that those little friends who are dying for minerals and weapons are the first to see, so even if you don’t want to pay attention, you can’t help but get them.”

The campfire shimmered, and it was reflected in the faces of the three. The dancing shadows of the bonfire pass by the three of them. As the shadows covered half of his face, the eyes shining especially clearly made it impossible for Death Knight to focus his attention on the three people he was talking to.

“Above all, most importantly…….”

The saintess shut her mouth and took a sip of water.

Now Death Knight was completely immersed in the story. With her mouth slightly open and her eyes blinking quickly, if the three of them were aiming for the death knight’s immortality, it was enough to say that they had already achieved success.

“Until now, the gnomes and dwarves have not been able to produce weapons comparable to those weapons.”

Hearing that, the Death Knight’s eyelids fluttered. Zer Pied swallowed her saliva once and spoke slowly to her. The slightly quivering voice that fell from her pale lips contained a strange excitement.

“…… If so, isn’t it safe to say that it is the most outstanding weapon in existence?”

Frigit raised an eyebrow. He enjoyed a subtle sense of accomplishment. Witnessing this appearance of a knight who was proficient in miscellaneous knowledge felt like he had overcome some difficulty.

“That’s why the ‘Twelve Knights Arms’ are so famous.”

Death Knight had to feel an indescribable thrill. Of course, since his eternal companions are a shield and a spear, he has no intention of wielding other weapons.

…… Still, can’t we just take a look?

However, the article’s excitement did not last long. His strange excitement was soon replaced by doubt.

“Wait, then why are those weapons still on the plateau? Dwarves and gnomes have a great interest in arms and minerals, so it would be quicker to take them and use them for themselves or dismantle them to see how they were made. I think everyone will pay attention to them if they are at a level they can’t reach.”

A fairly reasonable question, but Freight’s answer was fairly simple.

“Ah, that’s because no one can handle it. No one has ever heard of it Everyone tried to listen, but failed. Go heavy. Or some kind of magical action has been taken.”

“I can’t handle it… ….”

Death Knight felt the indescribable excitement that had faded flare up again. Death Knight slowly opened and closed his hand and repeated everything. Before he knew it, he wasn’t listening to the story in the middle of Lauren’s night, but he was proudly holding up those mysterious weapons in a place called Arbis Plateau.

…… Of course, in the eyes of others, it seemed as if he was opening and closing his hands in a daze with his mouth slightly open.

The three of them, especially the saint of innocence, had to work hard to hold back their laughter so as not to disturb the knight’s time alone while watching such a large knight.

–

The saintess of innocence stared blankly at the scene close to her dream unfolding before her eyes, as if the night were dancing. All she saw was the tall, tall leaves swaying in the wind that covered Lauren’s sky, but to her it was a fantastic scene. It was a sight she had seen many times before, but it still seemed like a dream to her.

Having become a dream, drunk on a scene that was not her dream, Celia suddenly turned her head at the sound of rough breathing coming from her right side.

“Pu-huh… ….”

There, Miss Ferien was dozing, leaning against Mr. Freight. She couldn’t help but smile. It was because the two elves, a man and a woman sleeping leaning against each other, looked like they were truly engaged.

“Whoops.”

The saintess turned her head away from her with a smile on her lips. There, the Death Knight leaned against the back of her tree, her arms crossed and her head bowed.

It’s already been a few days since we headed for the Ten Thousand Horses.

Like Miss Perien said that she had never approached, the closer she got to Tenmajeon, the denser the plants and terrain became. Sometimes tree vines that couldn’t be cut down even by logging roads appeared, or things that I thought were small rivers from afar were actually cliffs, so it was often the case that I went round and round.

The positive thing is that the road leading to Manmajeon – I don’t know if you can call it a roadway because it’s actually close to making a road – is quite rough, and dangerous creatures don’t go there. Miss Perien added an additional word on this point.

‘Even those creatures must know that the aura from Tenma Battle is dangerous to them.’

‘I know?’

‘Since you are a priest, you should know better. Why do most of us feel uncomfortable with drunk people? Because its nature is destruction. Well, in our case, we probably feel that way because of what the devil’s followers did.’

At that point Celia nodded her head carefully to express her agreement. Most of the records were lost during the turmoil that followed the life-and-death war, but famous events were also transmitted orally. For example, there were cases where some demon followers tried to seize power.

They tried to borrow the power of demons to seize control over the world, which had returned to a vacuum, and of course, the method was a forced exercise through force. And conversely, that event has become one of the significant factors in spreading the influence of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.

‘Because those creatures have more sensitive senses than we do, they must be more vigilant. Look here now If any creatures passed by, there should be something like a road. But isn’t that hard to find?’

Miss Ferien’s explanation made sense.

And the fact of pioneering in a place where there is no road like this awakened the sleeping adventurer’s temperament that played in the yard of the nursery school when he was young.

Also, it caused the common mistakes made by novice adventurers.

The word ‘beginner’ connotes quite contradictory concepts. Unlike the experts, although they have poor skills, they also have an attitude that is less cautious than them, and in some ways can be thought of as a manifestation of confidence.

For example, today the saintess of innocence did not check her floor properly and vigorously stepped on her feet. As can be guessed from the fact that this case was a ‘beginner’s mistake’, the floor was actually a deep hole covered with leaves, and her saintess cried out with a force comparable to that when she was born.

Fortunately, thanks to the arm of the Death Knight, who quickly stretched out, the saintess was able to avoid the adventure of checking where the end of her hole was. Although she had to dangle her body from the arm of her Death Knight in return.

‘Aww… ! Soggy… ! Hazy… !’

From noble mtl dot com

The saintess of innocence, she proved with her whole body why she is the saint of innocence. Her cries were like those of an innocent baby just born.

Recalling her vivid memories shortly after her experience, the saintess had to enjoy the feeling that her whole body was burning.

‘What the heck is this… ! If it weren’t for the real knight, I would… !’

She looked at Zerpied with eyes mixed with complex emotions of shame and gratitude. It was fortunate that the Death Knight did not notice this. Because he was in ‘meditation’ right now.

As life in Lauren Jungle lasted for quite some time, he gradually lost interest in admiring the scenery. This is because the landscapes are all similar and have become increasingly monotonous. Instead, Death Knight increased the frequency of ‘meditation’, which is to close his eyes and explore himself, as he does now.

‘If something happens, join me right away. Just in case, I let a part of me sink into your shadow, but there’s one thing that happens.’

Three days ago, after confirming that Miss Ferien and Mr. Freight were all asleep, he remembered what the knight had quietly told him.

The saintess who tried to get close to the Death Knight hesitated for a moment. It was hard for her to express her full appreciation without getting close. Her appreciation for what happened today could not be conveyed by the reenactment of her innocent child.

‘Well then, should I say thank you later…… ?’

Contemplating, she vigorously shook her head. After all, she was a saint. She definitely had to say thank you and nothing else.

The saintess cautiously approached the Death Knight, saying that it would be difficult to wake the knight just by getting closer.

And this time, she had to experience the mistake of being a ‘beginner’.

The saintess only had to blink. She

And when she realized that she couldn’t move, she realized that she was caught in the Death Knight’s arms and she was leaning against his body.

…… And still he was meditating.

There is no real threat from her, but it is the result of two conflicting facts that she needs to protect because of her proximity.

And the saintess had to pay the price for her mistakes. The Death Knight, immersed in meditation, could not release his arm. As a result, there was no way for her to escape from the arms of her Death Knight.

While she was blinded by this fact, she suddenly saw two elves sleeping next to each other leaning against each other.

‘Ki… big… ? Waiting for two minutes… ? Me too… The driver is also waiting… ?’

The similarities did not stop there.

‘The two of you are both male and female… Both the driver and I are male and female… ?’

It was not yet.

‘But the two of you are engaged… ? What… ? Approximately… soul… ? The knight… With me… It’s like, about… Soul… ?’

A mistake is always a lesson. Again, the saintess blushed, but she did not cry. Instead, she cried inside.

‘Aaaaagh! Aaaaang!’

The saintess struggled hard to get out of the Death Knight’s arms, but of course it was impossible.

The price the saintess had to pay was just the beginning.
