Chapter 203 – Chapter 196 – After the Gods Pass (3)
“Carine.”
The demon king’s voice calling the hero’s name was cheerful.
“I wanted our warrior’s beauty today. Is it because you don’t have the necklace you always wore?”
It was a casual and friendly tone, as if it were an old friend.
But Karine, on the side the horse was heading for, didn’t answer at all, only lowering her head.
“Necklace? Hey Carine. Where did your necklace go?”
“Come to think of it, it didn’t seem to be in the garden before.”
Silnia and Marina also looked at Karine’s neck and helped out a bit.
“That… The necklace…”
Carine couldn’t answer properly and brought her hand to the place where her necklace was.
“Where did the magic stone necklace that this body requested from Hernan go?”
Sharpie asked with a smile on her face, but Karine managed to get her words out as if she was strangled.
“I, rolling around in the garden, lost something somewhere…”
“Everyone, don’t you remember?”
Just as Karine was about to come up with her lame excuse, Potty tapped her on the table.
“Yeah, Ella told me before the wolf entered!”
Carine looked at Potty with a startled face, and Hernan opened her mouth while frowning her forehead.
“Did Ella apologize to Karine for stealing the magic stone?”
“Yes!”
Potty shook her head so that her ears rang.
“Ella ate it as a joke!”
Hernan also remembered those words.
However, as someone who knows that the magic stone was obtained from him, I also know that Ella’s words are absurd.
“Everyone, do you remember?”
When Forty tries to jog everyone’s memories once again, she says she remembers the other women too.
Only Hernan and Shafi remained silent.
“L! Sharpie! Two, don’t you remember the two?”
“Do you remember?”
Sharpie answered Potty with her intrigued eyes.
Hernán still thought of Ella, sparing her words.
Ella desperately tried to blame herself for Karine’s loss of her magic stone.
It must be that she doesn’t want to let people know that the disappearance of her magic stone is Karine’s fault.
Then, if Karine loses her magic stone by herself, Ella will be very disappointed.
“L?”
Potty asked for an answer to Hernán, who was still silent.
It was as if he believed that if only Hernan agreed, public opinion here would be completely decided.
While everyone was watching him, Hernán felt his head getting complicated.
It is also questionable that Ella desperately defends Karine, but it is also strange that Poti, who could be said to be her nemesis, defends Karine.
In comparison, recently Sharpie, who has been trying to somehow calm and lure her Carine to his side, has been driving her Carine out of her public place.
“Hernan!”
Was the thought a little long?
Her impatient Silnia tapped Hernan on the shoulder.
“Are you tired? Why are you blank?”
After getting out of the accident, Hernán made a decision.
“I saw it too. I even saw Ella trying to swallow it.”
“Then maybe you didn’t swallow it?”
Sharpie continued to keep her smile on her question, but Hernán replied with her ambiguous tone.
“I don’t know. The wolf’s attack at that moment was so dramatic that no one must have paid attention?”
Hernán decided to prevent a riot first.
Here, when it becomes clear that Karine has lost the magic stone necklace that Sharpie has a particular attachment to, the blame arises.
Besides, since she lost her dangerous magic stone, the other women have no choice but to reprimand Karine.
“The exact thing is to listen to see if the mana stone has fallen after the garden has been tidied up and what Ella says after waking up.”
At Hernan’s words, the tension on both Carine and Potty’s expressions was relieved.
“Of course she’ll have to be more careful with Karine, who lost her necklace to the kid.”
“… Huh.”
Karine nodded her head, and Marina spoke softly.
“Karine does the most work here, and Ella is also a very smart kid. Perhaps Karine took advantage of her frantic break at work and her child gave her a hand. I hope you don’t push her Carine too hard.”
“If the true magic stone is a problem, then you can use a wish ticket and take it out of Ella’s stomach, or you can find it stuck in Ella’s garden. Ma Wang Ni is exhausting people with a non-urgent problem.”
When Silnia made a reasonable proposal after a long time, her mood completely leaned toward ‘let’s just move on’.
“Cow, wish?”
Only Forti’s face turned blue and muttered something.
Meanwhile, Hernán opened her mouth to appease Sharpie who might have been offended.
“Since we know that the necklace’s mana stone is precious, let’s make a wish like Silnia said later. I’m not in a hurry right now, so I’ll just skip it. Whether Ella swallowed it or it fell into the garden, kids won’t be able to touch it for a while, so there’s no need to worry about safety accidents.”
After hearing Hernán’s words, Sharpie, fortunately, didn’t seem offended.
On the contrary, her eyes seemed to be bright and full of energy.
Hernán, who felt a certain awkwardness at that appearance, tried to say more, but Sharpie opened her mouth first.
“Good. Ah, it was really my child who had an accident, so why can’t I get angry…”
She erased only the smile from her eyes and laughed with only her mouth.
“Originally, I was going to punish the person who lost it and took it!”
The chill in his playful tone was very subtle.
To the extent that only those concerned can notice.
“…”
“Wow, that’s scary. Lol…”
Sensing the chill, the two women forced themselves to laugh.
* * *
The story naturally flowed into the situation after the wolf invaded.
“The door to this body and Forti is closed, so we don’t know what happens after that.”
“Well, the war god must have gone wild, right? How did El and the others survive without getting hurt?”
Sylnia also expressed her doubts at the questions of the two women who had to be outside.
“Hernan. You said you can’t handle magic, holy power, or even spirits.”
“I can’t handle it. When it comes to magic, I only know the theory, and I don’t know anything about divine power or spirit magic.”
Silnia stared at Hernan as he put down the honeyed milk Carine prepared.
“But how did you get the strength and speed that matched that of a wolf?”
The black aura that wrapped around Hernan’s arms and legs and dwelled in the dagger.
Through that power, Hernán was able to get some time off from the god of war.
“Are you of the lineage of God like Hernando Carine? A power you don’t even know has awakened!”
When Sharpie said it in a joking tone, Hernán laughed.
“Then there will be a lot of lineages of gods here.”
After letting go of the joke, Hernan made eye contact with the quiet Marina.
The saintess signaled that she shouldn’t by shaking her pupils from side to side.
It would be too dangerous to talk in detail here, where the Demon God can hear the story at any time.
If, according to the Demon God, the power given by Hernan was severely deviated from the Demon God’s plan, he might pose a threat.
But Hernán thought it was worth talking about, even with all the pressure.
“That power is a kind of divine power.”
“Suck!”
Marina caught her breath in fright, but Hernan calmly continued her words.
“It gave me superhuman abilities by endowing my body with divine power.”
“Bar, you said you couldn’t handle divine power until just now.”
Karine, one of the people who saw the scene, was puzzled.
“Hernan! Stop talking!”
Marina grabbed Hernán’s arm and tried to stop it, but Hernán politely pushed her hand away and spoke her out.
“There’s no way the demon didn’t see that scene anyway, saintess. Wouldn’t it be better to be honest rather than hiding it and provoking the demon and the people here?”
“But…”
Marina had a confused face.
Hernán turned his gaze to the others as she patted her arm back against her.
“I’m sorry for hiding it all this time. The saintess and I were secretly testing it, so I didn’t tell them. I asked you to do that, so don’t say too much to Saint Marina.”
“Didn’t the two of you go to the garden to have a baby? This body thought there was another woman here who was excited about being caught by others.”
Sharpie giggled and Marina shook her head, blushing.
“Do you know who you are?”
“Okay!”
Marina looked at Karine, who suddenly shouted, and put on a puzzled expression.
“Why do you have a fever, Carine?”
“Now, because you keep talking nonsense and ruining the atmosphere! Why do I have to tell dirty stories here! This is why I’m a dreamer…”
Karine mumbled and blushed.
Hernan looked at Karine and sighed before opening her mouth.
“According to the saintess, when you make a wish, the wish is always transmitted to the demon through me, so it seems that I have developed a sensitivity to the divine power.”
“Sensibility?”
When the elf asked with a dumbfounded face, the saintess explained in earnest.
“Originally, divine power can be said to be the power that comes from close contact with God. Rather than talent, lineage connected to God or personal friendship with God are more important factors.”
“So, Hernan became a conduit between the demon and the demon god’s followers here, and got the power to handle the divine power?”
At Sharpie’s words, the saintess nodded her head.
“From one day, Hernan felt a power similar to the divine power of the ancient gods detected in the garden. That’s why I started developing it recently.”
“More, thanks to you, we all survived… And be great, El!”
Potty perked up his ears, as if he was happy that Hernán had gained such strength.
“L seems to be getting more and more cool…”
“So what? The war god has been driven out now, but what are we going to do when we go out?”
When Silnia cut off Potty’s words, Potty looked at Hernan and the elf with a pitiful look.
However, Hernán asked for forgiveness by briefly raising his hand to Potty and accepted Silnia’s words.
“Well. There is no clear way. Because I didn’t expect this to happen. Who among the people here would have really thought that the human god would descend?”
“Hey, Hernan.”
After Hernan finished speaking, Marina called out to Hernan with a worried expression.
Hernán saw that expression and realized that Marina was trying to say something he was deliberately reluctant to say.
“Looking at the reactions of the God of War and the Goddess of Mercy, don’t you think the other gods will be quite angry?”
“Yes? Dae, why?”
Potty, who was staring at Sylnia disapprovingly, made a surprised expression at Marina’s words.
“Ooh, what did we do wrong? Could it be because of contact with the Demon God?”
Of course, that will also have an impact.
However, there was something else that stimulated the gods more than anything else.
That fact came violently out of the mouth of the impatient elf.
“Why! It’s because of you and that sharpie!”
“Me?”
“Me?”
The two women who were suddenly pointed out looked puzzled.
“The gods were angry because Hernan had a baby with a demon! Understanding?”
Of course, Potty had a face of incomprehension.
