Sword Pilgrim

Chapter 156

Episode 156

The appearance of the saintess entering the room with waving pink hair was sacred.

Lactus’s flower-like hair made her a saint, and those who saw it took it for granted.

“hurry!”

A blonde woman urging such a saint.

The image of the princess moaning in pain on the bed contradicts her.

The saintess, with her pink hair tightly tied, looked down at the princess, who was enduring the pain by biting her lips, with calm eyes.

“Didn’t I tell you to do it in moderation? Princess Lavian.”

The saintess took out a holy water from her bosom.

Then, without hesitation, he opened the stopper and poured it onto her side, which was stained red.

Chick Chiik again.

“Turn it off!”

As soon as it seeps into the wound, white smoke blooms and begins to recover.

“Among the holy waters, this holy water is better for those who have the power of lactus. Although the pain is great.”

The saintess calmly sprinkled holy water and said.

“The Emperor has no mercy in his hands. The same goes for children.”

The princess’ wounds were quite large.

A wound as if a spear had been stuck in it.

“Turn it off…!!”

Trembling in excruciating pain, the princess rolled her eyes and passed out.

But that’s only for a moment.

In the pain of recovery, he opens his eyes again, grit his teeth, and let out a moan.

But is it because of pride?

It doesn’t scream coolly.

Open your eyes with bloodshot eyes.

Her pale face contorts, but she doesn’t scream.

I struggle and try to be patient.

enemy of the empire.

It must be because of the pride of being the blood of the imperial family.

Seeing her like that, the saintess smiled and continued.

“Since you led the army against the Yongin people and the like and invited the princesses of the principality to participate, you didn’t achieve anything, so it wasn’t bad to punish yourself. But do you know?”

A man who doesn’t know that the emperor is moderate.

It was the same for my children.

“You must have punished yourself.”

from the Imperial Palace.

Until Voltan, the princess moved while enduring the wounds she received from the emperor.

Even though it could be cured right away, the emperor told him to do so.

He said that he would suffer from this wound for a long time and treat it belatedly so that he would never make that mistake again.

Still, he did not treat the princess as if he had no children, so it was his last remaining mercy that made him accompany the saintess.

Of course, Saint Ailee did something that she did not understand.

It was because of that anyway.

The fact that the saintess appeared in Voltan.

Lactus Garden is the only one in the empire that only emperors and saints can enter.

Her visit to the garden was because of the wounded princess, and it was also because of the emperor’s order.

“Turn it off.”

Looking at the princess who had fainted again, the saintess looked at the scene outside the window.

This is Arun, a little far from Voltan.

It is a small castle built on a plain.

So the saintess also knows.

The story of a dragon appearing in a bolt is not a story to be easily overlooked.

In addition, it was a fact that he could not know because he was trying to support by borrowing troops from Arun.

Naturally, the nobles here asked the saintess for help, but she refused.

The first was that the princess’s condition was very serious, and the second was that she personally did not want to help Boltan very much.

Because the things in Voltan were usually full of irritating and unpleasant things for nobles.

The saintess did not like that place.

The Garden of Lactus.

Because those who were filled with pain were not the only ones in the garden.

There are many people who are abused for the reason of establishing the dignity of the empire for the sake of entertainment.

“I’d rather have them all be freed this time.”

There are quite a few unpleasant things such as the Colosseum, the slave market, and the black market.

Though wary of the dragon’s appearance, the saintess sincerely wished for Voltan’s destruction.

So pretend not to know this time.

would be left out

“Wake up slowly. I still like you quite a bit in the Empire.”

wheein.

A warm wind blew from the window, but the saintess looked sad for some reason.

* * *

Callius spread two fingers.

“There are two types of holy water in the empire.”

One that anyone can eat. These were the so-called normal holy water.

Another is that only the Saints of Lactus are allowed.

Holy water that only those who have the divine power of Lactus, the creator, are allowed to drink.

“Did you say Changseongsu?”

The remaining 11 Holy Beasts that had been collected by the Gray Knights.

There are 7 normal Holy Water and 4 Changseong Water.

Even this alone could be said to be sufficient for the harvest of this journey.

The corners of Colliers’ lips drew an arc.

[There are a total of 34 Lactus tears.]

“I see.”

Niol, who came closer, said as he wiped away Lactus’ tears on the floor.

A total of 11 Holy Water and 34 Lactus Tears.

It is an enormous loot.

The absence of these will drastically change the face of war.

“But why are you telling me that…”

“You are asking for granted. Esther, aren’t you heading to Carpe?”

“yes. That’s right.”

In the woods a little far from Voltan.

Callius was facing Esther with the others.

“Apart from Seongsu, Chang Seongsu and Lactus’ tears are useless to me right now.”

Currently, Colius is in a position where he cannot easily return to Carpe.

Wasn’t the Balaur’s eyes completely focused on him?

On the day they were attacked by a dragon while still in Carpe, they could not prepare for war, and unless the empire was an idiot, there was no way they would let that good opportunity pass.

So Callius wanted Esther to give these things to him.

“Go to my mansion in Kaladi and tell Beatrice this. If it were her, she might be able to improve Lactus Tears or create a new recipe to create holy water that would help Carpe.”

“Is that possible?”

“I don’t know. I’m not sure.”

Even if you can’t, it doesn’t matter.

She would have figured out enough ways to use it somehow.

“At least I can make holy water made from Lactus’ tears.”

There are a total of 34 tears of Lactus.

It would be nice if it could be mass-produced, but even if not, there are over 30 holy water that can be made with it. Even if only one or two were heard by the Masters, precious lives could be saved in the war.

‘If it’s Beatrice, I might be able to mass-produce it. Or maybe I’ll discover a new recipe, like Changseongsu, and make a holy water that forcibly raises the status of a paladin.’

Seongsu Chang.

It is holy water that contains several times more holy power of lactus than normal holy water.

I don’t know exactly what principle and ingredient it is, but the reason why the empire is producing so many masters is because of Agatodo in the Holy Land of the Sahara, but the influence of Chang Seong-soo is greater.

The wall of transcendence is high and far, so even if you have a talent from heaven, it is common that you cannot overcome it unless you are lucky.

However, with this Chang Seong-soo, the height of the wall could be lowered a little.

‘It’s a kind of elixir that can easily achieve enlightenment with a temporary awakening effect.’

If Carpe can create something like this, he will be able to increase his strength.

“Still, it’s great. I have only just risen to the ranks of Master, but you, Colius, are already beyond that.”

Esther’s eyes are bright.

“The dragon slayer deserves to inherit the will of Saint Stella.”

“You are truly amazing. I didn’t know that I would become a Master in just one year.”

“I was lucky. After I found the first holy relic, I was able to break down the wall with a great realization due to its influence.”

With Sullivan’s death, she had already broken down the wall a bit.

The holy relic must have been a bit of a trigger.

“What relic did you find?”

“It’s Vera’s ring.”

relic.

Its origins are trivial.

Gods do not perform miracles such as bestowing holy relics on their followers.

Most of the sacred objects in the church were made by saints who gave their lives.

The ring of Berah that Esther speaks of is also the same.

“Bera’s ring…”

The ring of Berah is a circular piece of metal that is smaller than the palm of your hand.

An iron in the form of a hollow ring.

However, it is also a holy relic created by Saint Vera, who shed all of herself.

‘I never thought I’d name it a ring.’

Vera’s holy relic is not a ring.

it’s glasses

Like monocular glasses, these glasses allow you to see into the body of another person, so you can treat people with incurable diseases.

Of course, Vera was made for that purpose, but in reality it was not used that way.

Berah’s ring…

‘It is the only holy relic that can confirm the combat power and potential of others.’

With it, you can grow potential knights and recognize the weaknesses of others at a glance.

Of course, since it is a fragile item, it cannot be used in battle, so it will be used to determine the potential of the knights.

‘When I get to Carpe, I’ll have to ask to borrow Berah’s ring.’

Not now, but before the start of the war.

With Berah’s ring, the knights’ potential could be raised.

“Did you see it and gain enlightenment even though you didn’t even know what it was?”

“Do you know?”

“Tell the religious leaders of the church. Put it in your eyes once. no. I want you to tell the Pope.”

If it were Philice, he would be teaching the children right now.

You can’t trust all churches.

“All right. I will tell you that.”

“Aren’t you suspicious?”

“Who are you? you?”

“…”

“Ah.”

I tilted my head as if asking if I didn’t know that, and Esther hurriedly averted her gaze.

It was only then that Esther seemed to remember what she had done in the past.

Now that it comes, it’s a new thing.

Esther listens to her words and believes her words.

It’s a new thing, but thinking about it, it was also a strange sight.

Just a year or two ago, Esther had tried to kill Callius.

“…I haven’t forgotten everything. But you are the hero of Carpe and the noble knight who killed the dragon. The old days are just the old days.”

And…

“Sullivian told me to believe in you once in my life. I don’t think I have any reason to doubt it either.”

For some reason, Esther’s face turned red.

The Sang-sang Army, who was watching the conversation quietly and wary of the surroundings – Niol and Garcia hid their presence and moved a little further away.

“is it.”

“yes.”

An awkward silence followed.

Esther’s face became more and more red for some reason.

enough to contradict her azure hair.

Callius looked at Esther in wonder and handed her the tears of Lactus that were dripping on the floor.

Holding thirty-four flowers in one hand, it was like a bouquet.

It looks like a light pink rose, so it’s a pretty flower too.

“Take it.”

“Ah yes… By the way, Colius. What are you going to do now?”

“What do you mean?”

“This is an empire. The reason you entrust this to me is that you still have work to do.”

“okay. I still have work to do.”

Ignoring Esther, who tilted her head. Colius caught a glimpse of the land with his eyes on the bolt.

Esther, who understood his meaning, said firmly.

“It is dangerous.”

Esther was concerned about him.

But Colliers shook his head.

“Did you see them here?”

“…yes.”

No eyes, no ears, no tongue.

As an empire, it is a convenient labor force.

They are the defeated soldiers and slaves of the different races.

Beings with a lifespan far higher than humans and decent physical abilities.

There will always be people who want to exploit and exploit them.

so.

“I intend to hold them all.”

“You mean all of them?”

“It is my wish that everyone become one with Carpe.”

Elf Dwarf. other races.

Callius was thinking of taking them all to Carpe.

We need their strength to break the empire.

and.

“It is also my atonement.”

Callius’ gray eyes were wet with inertia.

Esther couldn’t understand what he was saying. What crime did the son of Zervan commit against the different races?

But she couldn’t easily turn away from the emotion in those eyes.

“Then I will help too.”

“Esther. Your first priority is to deliver it to Carpe. Time is not on our side.”

“But the Empire won’t be able to easily manufacture holy water anymore. If so…”

“Do you think the Empire’s Lactus flower garden is only in Voltan?”

“Are there more?”

“There are at least two more. So don’t think nonsense and go back to Carpe.”

Esther was a little discouraged by Colius’ stubborn attitude.

“Keep you inside. I’ll help with that from the outside.”

However, his words brought a faint smile to Esther’s face.
