Chapter 21: Miss Irene
"Ahem, ahem...... Where exactly is this? ”
I don't know how long it took for Roland to wake up from his slumber, and for his previous memories, all he remembered was that he fell off a cliff and then fell into a coma.
Looking around, he saw that all around him was an empty flat field, and the two horses in the carriage were nowhere to be found, and only a broken carriage remained.
But why did he fall from such a high place without a trace of physical injury?
Roland touched his body, and there was not a single scar on it, which obviously seemed a little unreasonable.
He tried to summon the fifteen armored guards, but seemed to be distracted, and no matter how much he called, he couldn't reach them.
Could it be that something is blocking the connection between them?
Immediately, he looked up and looked up, only to find that the sky seemed to be covered in a dark cloud, making it impossible for him to see the scene on the cliff above.
This anomaly cast a haze over Roland's heart, and he couldn't see this dark cloud from the cliff, could it be something like an enchantment?
Hey? Is that......... Church?
Suddenly, something made Roland's heart tremble, because in the clearing not far from him, there stood a church in the color of ivory.
And the first thing that came to his mind was the church that the mercenary had mentioned, which was also the hiding place of the source of the shadows he was looking for, the ultimate goal of the mission.
"Miss Irene, are you alright? Hey, bastard over there, come and save Miss Irene. ”
Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded beside Roland, and he turned his head to look.
I saw a woman in knight's armor kneeling on one knee beside the tattered carriage, and in her arms lay a woman in a white princess dress.
But the woman, who was called Irene, did not seem to be in a good situation, with a wooden stick the length of an arm stuck in her chest, and the blood had stained a small area of her white dress, but fortunately it did not hit the heart.
"When I treat this lady, you'll quickly pull this stick out...... Be sure to be fast! ”
Roland hurriedly walked over, and said a word to the female knight, and then stretched out his hands and pressed them on Irene's chest, silently reciting in his heart: healing hand.
"I will...... Please be sure to get Miss Erin back. ”
The female knight Betis was originally looking at Roland's face in a daze, but when she heard the anxious voice, she immediately came back to her senses, and then turned her solemn gaze to Erin in her arms.
The healing light of holiness poured out of Roland's palm and fell on the woman Erin, as if she had been dressed in a garment made of holy light.
"It's this time, pull out the stick, quick!"
When the female knight Betis heard Roland's shout, she immediately stretched out her trembling hand to grasp the wooden stick, and pulled it out of Erin's body with a sharp pull, revealing a hideous wound the size of a fist baby's fist, and even the wriggling flesh could be seen inside.
With a pop, the blood poured out of the wound like a small fountain.
At this moment, Roland hurriedly increased the output of the healing hand, and suddenly the holy healing light flourished, like a small sun, dispelling the darkness around him.
However, at this time, a miracle happened!
At this time, the blood immediately stopped pouring out of the wound, and the wound on Erin's chest began to heal slowly, and after a while, the hideous wound had disappeared, replaced by tender white skin, and it was completely impossible to see that the position had been injured.
"Whew...... It worked, and now her body has lost too much blood, so it's good to rest for a while. ”
Roland looked at the completely healed wound, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, he didn't drop the chain at this critical time, and he was able to save this girl.
However, at this time, Roland had time to carefully observe the appearance of this woman, her tender white skin, as well as her delicate face, and her proud figure hidden under the torn clothes, which can be said to be more beautiful than some plastic surgery actresses in Roland's previous life.
"My name is Betis, and I thank you on behalf of Miss Erin, ...... Orchid...... Priest! ”
Suddenly, a woman's voice drew Roland's gaze away from Erin, and she could clearly be heard in a specially accentuated tone when she shouted Roland's name, and vaguely, Roland could feel a trace of anger in this voice.
Puzzled, Roland hurriedly looked up, only to see the female knight named Betis staring at him with wide eyes, as if she was looking at a color. Wolf.
"Ahem, ahem, this is what I should do, the Light is with me, but what are you going to do now, it's not safe here!"
Immediately, Roland coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, stood up, and looked towards the strange church.
"What's that?"
Betis followed Roland's gaze and saw the abandoned church with its ivory white accent at a glance.
But there was one thing that puzzled her, it was obviously a holy church, but the whole revealed a depressing atmosphere, which almost made Betis breathless.
"Miss Betis, I'm going to go to that church again, there may be some danger, what is the next decision between you and Miss Erin?"
Roland turned around and said to Betis, the female knight beside him.
"We ...... I'm still staying here to protect Miss Irene, and if we can't wait for Pastor Roland to come back, we'll leave first, so Pastor Roland doesn't have to worry. ”
Betis turned her head to look at the dim jungle, and both the jungle shrouded in darkness and the abandoned church gave her a sense of danger, so Betis finally decided to stay where she was.
"Betis, I'd like to follow Pastor Roland here, and we don't know the way out now, so why don't we go to that church and rest, the gods will bless us."
Suddenly, the appearance of a voice broke the awkward state between Roland and the two, and when they looked closely, they saw that Erin had woken up.
"But your body ......"
"Betis, you don't have to worry about me, I was able to walk on my own, it's okay now...... And there's Pastor Roland by his side, Pastor Roland, you say? ”
Immediately, Erin first smiled at Betis beside her, indicating that her body was fine, and then looked at Roland.
"This ...... Well, if you think it's okay. ”
Roland wanted to refuse, but after seeing the longing look on Erin's face, he couldn't help but dispel this idea, and could only agree to let the two women come with him, after all, it was not very safe to let them stay outside.
It's just that if Roland was accompanied by two women like this, it would be a lot of trouble for him to summon Jerome.
But there is no way to do it, who makes him feel uneasy about the two women being alone outside, so he can only take one step at a time.
At most, when the time came to summon Busthorton, Roland pretended not to know him, and then fooled him.
"Come with me, then, but are you really sure you're able to move around, Miss Erin?"
At this time, Roland took out the momentum of the game guild in his previous life, took a deep breath, and said.
"Of course, I'm Erin, how could I be so hurt by this little injury!"
Erin, who was suddenly pale, immediately staggered up from the arms of the female knight, and said with a smile barely squeezed out of her face.
"In that case...... Let's go, Miss Irene, and this Betis Knight. ”
Roland moved his body very uncomfortably, and with a slow step, he took the lead towards the church not far away.
I don't know if it was his delusion, but from the very beginning, the female knight Betis had been radiating a hostile gaze towards him, as if she were looking at an enemy with a deep hatred.
Did she know the former owner of this body?
