Chapter 58 (Temple Guards)
"How's mana recovering??" asked Deklaas, sitting by the campfire, to Sue and Merry, who were eating.
"Why not... Earlier, that gas doesn't distinguish between the dead and the living!? It was burned so badly!!" Looking at Deklaas, who was smiling happily, Merry asked unhappily.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. However, it seems that you secretly set yourself on fire, right?? It seems that it has nothing to do with whether you are reminded or not!!" Deklaas complained with a smile.
"Damn~~!!"
"Little Merry~~!!What are you talking about??"
"Nothing, nothing..."
Although her eyes were on Deklaas and Merry, who were playing, Sue's attention was completely off. In his heart now, he had been thinking about the dark green evil gas in the temple.
"What is that dark green gas??Why aren't you affected???and we're going to be ignited??" When Sue and Merry had finished their dinner, he asked Deklas with some impatience.
"That dark green gas is a kind of breath of the evil god family. It has a powerful burning mana effect, but it only has a one-time effect on the same undead or living being!!" Deklas frowned slightly, and then answered Sue's question.
"Once??only once..."After hearing Deklaas's answer, Sue looked in the direction of the temple with a slight frown. Because of the existence of the temple, Su and the others did not find a single demonic beast nearby. Not even a bird, I didn't see it.
So Su is very worried now, if that dark green evil gas only has a one-time effect on anyone, then there must be something even more terrifying in the temple!!
"You don't have to worry too much, this temple is dedicated to the same god I found in the underworld!! However, those three sons of gods are not so easy to deal with!!" Deklaas also looked at the temple, but what he was worried about was not the danger in the temple, but the three sons of the gods they came out to find!!
At the same time, the griffon leads the prince's mansion. Rita and Milina sat next to Messena and Lily, watching the two of them knit sweaters for Deklaas and Otos.
"I've been wondering since yesterday, Dad, why did he let Merry be his assistant... Doesn't he know that Rita and I will be sad??" Milina asked Messena and Lily as she sat down with Rita in her arms.
"To him, you two are not as pitiful as Merry. If it were you, would you like two people who pushed him into the mire, but then ran back on their own, ignoring the love he loved??" It's just that I didn't know about it until the fact. So now Messena's words are very polite.
"We... The two of us... It's justโ" When Milina and Rita heard her, they didn't know what to say. Although Deklaas's approach is not right, and he shouldn't hide Merry's affairs, is that really comparable to what Milena and Rita did?
"Huh!!, you two are scared, aren't you??Afraid of him, and afraid of yourself. I'm afraid that when he learns that little secret in your heart, he will kill you with his own hands. Messena suddenly sneered and said unceremoniously.
"Messena!!What Milina is afraid of, I know, but what is Rita to be afraid of??She has nothing to do with Deklaas's death!!" Lily couldn't help but say with some annoyance when she saw Messena say this to Rita and Milena.
"Lily, aren't you afraid? Don't you say, aren't you afraid??" Messena didn't care about Lily's already angry tone, but asked even more unceremoniously.
Lily, who was originally very angry, couldn't say a word when she asked her like this. Deklaas's death has a lot to do with her and Milena. But now she was really scared, afraid that Deklaas would know about those things.
I am also afraid that this hard-won peaceful life will disappear again. Although, in her heart, she is still looking forward to that person...
"When you knew that I was married to Deklaas, and when you saw that I was in love with him, you were very jealous, weren't you? But, isn't all this your own mistake??" Messena looked at Lily, who was speechless, and didn't let her go in the slightest.
"I see..."Lily suddenly understood what Messena meant, not against her, not at Rita, Milena, just telling them to cherish the love that Deklas gave them, and not to make Deklaas miserable anymore.
However, Deklaas has never been the most important thing in Lily's heart, is it still possible...
The next day, the flames ignited by the dark green gas, Retuta and the others, who had not burned much mana, recovered a lot of mana after an afternoon and evening rest. Even though not half, or even a third, they didn't want to rest until their mana was fully restored.
But the dark green gas and flames were so terrifying that Retuta and the others didn't dare to approach the temple.
After discussion, they wanted Harrell, a half-elf alchemist, to test the water. so as not to burn mana again.
Declas scoffed at this.
As Deklaas said, the dark green gas has only one effect on anyone. However, Harrell had just entered when he hurried out.
"Ah~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A sharp and piercing scream came from the temple!!I saw a pair of slender arms, a bit like a human on the upper body, three mouthparts on the head, and four pairs of small black eyes of the large worm, following closely behind Harrell and rushing out.
"What !!"
As soon as he saw the three-mouthed worm, Deklas was shocked!!That look, he was so familiar!!That was exactly what the stupid demigod looked like!!Although it was said that this three-mouthed worm was only fifteen-order, the shock it brought to Deklas was definitely bigger than the golden dragon demigod on the Monte Snow Mountain!!Because at that time, Deklas was just a small second-order little skeleton mage, and the monstrous coercion of the demigod had been completely imprinted in his heart!!
