The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over

79 – Are you laughing now?

Wouldn’t it be like this if you witnessed the miracles of Moses in person?

The gorgeous carriage caused such a stir in the temple that I felt that way without even realizing it.

Using the carriage as a reference point, the crowd was divided into two, and people’s attention turned to the open door.

-Drur.

When the coachman who drove the carriage opened the carriage door, two men who appeared to be the duke’s guard knights put their feet on the ground first.

‘I said they were also from Aden Academy.’

Until yesterday, there was little hope.

When I actually look at the faces of those two guys, the memories that had been sinking in come back clearly.

‘They are also people you can kill.’

In fact, it is not important what the story behind the excellent students who graduated from the academy is to serve as a Duke.

Whatever the reason may be, the only thing that matters to me is that they are already corrupted and are bad guys who have committed many evil deeds.

‘Thank goodness.’

Is that why? I could internally sigh with relief.

Because, among the guard knights belonging to the Astrea family, not only were there evil people like those guys, but there were also people with their own stories.

Duke Astrea was greedy as an apostle of greed, and of course that greed included greed for talented people.

‘He used all kinds of petty tricks to make his outstanding talents belong to his family.’

Bribe, threats, coercion, assault, and even rape.

The Duke of Astrea tried to increase his family’s power by using such methods, and the number of victims that I remember is over twenty.

Because of this, I could not help but worry secretly.

If people with unavoidable circumstances were to block the duke’s path, I, who had to kill the duke, would have had no choice but to swing my sword at them.

Is that why? I bowed my head to the duke who was getting off the carriage.

‘Thank you.’

For bringing only those who can be killed, not those who are difficult to deal with.

As I was thinking that, I saw the Duke of Astrea, accompanied by a guard knight, approaching me.

No, to be precise, towards the Nesia priest who is guiding the visitors.

“Priest Necia, it’s been a while.”

“Ah, meet the Duke of Astrea! Ah, I heard that you have done a great favor to our denomination!”

“Giggles, what is grace? The real grace is not given by the saint within me. “This old man only paid a few imaginary coins, so don’t give him credit like that.”

“Oh, no! Thanks to the Duke, how many people…”

When facing the duke, he was shaking and talking gibberish, while the duke maintained a relaxed attitude with a friendly smile.

“Anyway, who is this handsome young man?”

Has he finally found me? The Duke turned his gaze towards me and asked Nesia with an interesting look in his eyes.

“Ah, this person…”

“This is Carmel, a student at Aden Academy. “It is an honor to meet Duke Astrea, one of the seven pillars of the empire.”

I was frustrated with Nesia’s stuttering, so I bowed my head and said hello to the duke, then looked at him.

‘As expected.’

Is it because he is an apostle of greed?

The demonic energy that is sticky accumulated in the patterns and images on the forehead begins to be visible through the celestial eye.

“Oh, yes, nice to meet you, Camel Cadet. “Judging by the fact that he was here over the weekend, he seems to have a good temperament as well as a facial expression, which is very nice to see.”

“That’s too much praise.”

“Yes, I hope that you will continue to work hard and become a mainstay of the empire.”

“···.”

Was it burdensome to see my gaze like that?

Duke Astrea said only that and began to enter the temple, and I slowly got up from my seat to move.

“Gwae, are you okay? Wow, you must have been very nervous.”

A trembling voice comes to my ears.

When I turned my head, I saw the Nesia priest with a pale face.

I think it was you who was nervous, not me.

“It’s okay. But as I said earlier, I have to go early today…”

“Woah, as expected, the Camel cadet was also very nervous. Please go quickly. “Well, I’m fine!”

No matter how you look at it, Nesia’s condition was not good.

But that didn’t mean I could avoid doing what I had to do, so I got up and handed Nesia a small potion.

“It’s a potion sold at the store, and they say it helps relieve tension. “I think Necia needs it more than me.”

“Oh my…”

After settling my relationship with Nesia with just one potion, I walked inside the temple and began watching the Duke of Astrea’s movements from afar.

‘Eolssigu.’

The duke approached several people and showed a friendly smile, showing off his pretense.

Saint Lily, the next saint Duran, paladins and priests, and even ordinary people waiting for their turn.

The duke was wandering around the temple as if it were his mansion, but he saw a woman blocking his path.

“Meet the matriarch.”

“Okay…”

Seiji smiled shallowly and showed courtesy, and the Duke’s smiling face was seen to be slightly distorted.

Seiji lends his ear to him and quietly whispers something.

Then the duke’s impression begins to harden little by little.

It was worth it. The words that Seiji would have whispered as I ordered would have been words that the duke could not ignore.

-“Dad, thank you for raising me. But I heard you joined hands with the Chaos Church? Then I have to die, right? “I think it would be okay if you said it with this nuance.”

I suddenly became curious. I wonder how Seiji, who had begun to learn emotions, would have purified my spell.

‘Anyway, it seems like the business was conveyed well.’

Let’s go soon. I muttered to myself and turned around and started walking.

*****

In a gloomy cave not too far from Aderit Village.

I was talking to a freckled woman who had come to the cave.

“The vessel went out of the temple.”

“Yes.”

Recalling the portrait I received from the archbishop not long ago, I smiled and got up from my chair.

I was immediately convinced when I saw the portrait.

This guy. This guy is the guy who cut down my clone.

Of course, it has not been completely verified yet.

It was also true that the most likely possibility was that he showed an overwhelming performance over Aesongi, the next hero candidate, and that he single-handedly defeated the archbishop’s favorite necromancer.

“I did it.”

“It’s fun.”

After listening to the freckled woman’s words to the end, I nodded and shook her head.

The child, presumed to be a vessel, watched my apostle’s movements closely until just before he left.

Then, I left after seeing the apostle talking to the doll that should have been my property.

After hearing this far, I was immediately convinced.

Ah, this is the same guy from last time, and now he is trying to lure me to death.

“K, keuhhee!”

When the accident arrives here, a sincere laugh bursts out for the first time in a long time.

‘Yes, I will gladly join in your arrogant antics.’

And I will take you as mine and marry you.

“Hey, over there…”

As I was thinking that, I heard an insignificant voice.

“This lowly servant… may I dare to ask you a question?”

Turning her head, she sees a woman lying face down on the floor, her voice and body shaking.

What was its name? Well, since I’m an insignificant human, there’s no need to know.

From Noble mtl dot com

Thinking so, I nodded.

Normally, I would have immediately lashed out at this girl who asked such a cheeky question, but it is true that she gave me useful information.

I thought it would be okay to match the rhythm to this level.

“Maybe my younger brother, whom Mr. Grid gave me, is…”

“Little brother?”

“Yes, his name was Ned. The duke said there was progress…”

“Ah!”

Ned, it wasn’t until I heard that name that I remembered who this woman was.

Did she say her name was Nesia?

This girl was a pitiful child who sold her soul to the Duke in the hope of curing her terminally ill younger brother.

“I’m doing well. “It doesn’t hurt.”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

“Thank you, I was thankful.”

After answering that question, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Because, when I was making the toy, I remembered the heart of my frail friend who helped me a lot and the expression on his face shedding bloody tears.

‘Next…’

It was my turn to take the heart of a child who would bring me greater joy.

****

The Duke of Astrea arrived at a large and secluded vacant lot outside of Aderit Village and was chuckling alone.

She recalled the cocky sound the doll she owned made.

“I never thought the day would come when a doll I picked up on the side of the road would confront its owner.”

Sage whispered to the Duke.

I know you are an apostle of greed.

I also know that he accused his mother of being a witch.

Before I tell the world about this, I want to kill you with my own hands.

“Good.”

The duke was watching him because he could not offer his doll to him.

I wanted to give it to him right away, but the situation at the Academy was also not favorable.

It was definitely like that.

Thankfully, the doll was willing to give herself another chance.

There was no way the Duke of Astrea would not be grateful for such a sage.

Is that all? The duke found today the man he so desperately wanted.

The moment the Duke encountered Carmel and the child, he knew instinctively.

This being is of a much higher rank than myself.

So this being could dare point a sword at him.

If you tell him this, he will be greatly pleased.

“Khaha!”

Is that why? The duke, who was intoxicated with satisfaction, burst out laughing to himself as if he was about to fall over.

“Are you smiling now?”

-Tuk.

Suddenly, I felt something hitting the Duke’s toes, and a young voice came to my ears.

“Two people died.”

The Duke’s eyes naturally turn to his toes.

What I saw in that gaze was the incomprehensible facial expressions of the two men.
