Chapter 370 – Legacy of Order.

– Trudge

Currently, they are walking through a passage hidden behind a statue they found shortly after following Jeremiah.

“Can we walk like this?”
“Agnets will be the only ones who will come after us, so they won’t be able to come after us.”

Usher, who was now walking down from Kane, glanced behind him and asked, but he spoke as if to reassure him and proceeded down the aisle, lighting up the darkness with a torch in his hand.

“If it’s Agnets…”
“If it’s a believer, it’s a follower, if it’s a sacrifice, it’s a sacrifice, if it’s a worker, it’s a worker. Did Krikaliev say he was a multipurpose follower?”

What’s so interesting about it is that even after laughing, it comes back with a calm voice.

“Anyway, these guys are treated like expendable items.”

There’s no way those guys know about this secret passage. After hearing his words, Usher asked, just in case.

“Then how does the old man know this place?”
“Yeah I…”

But his words did not follow.

“Kishyaaak!”
“Jwat! Did you release the gargoyles this far!”

There was a roar and a jump down from the upper part of the wall ahead, from a hole that a person would have entered if they crouched down. Jeremiah tried to stop the bite with her torch and her bone armor covering her own forearm, but the action was futile.

“Ugh?!”
– Kaang!

The guy ignored him and ran right into Usher. Fortunately, my body, which was already relaxed, followed suit, and I was able to block its teeth immediately with my shield. Kane, who did not miss the opportunity, swung his sword and tried to cut off the guy who ran towards him.

“Don’t harm me carelessly!”

Had Jeremiah not first slipped her hands under her arms from behind her guy and pulled them off.

“Ha, are you saying you’re also a cult?”
“Kiik!”
“I’m sick and tired of hearing that cultist! Don’t be impatient and listen!”

Kane let out a mocking sigh at the sight of him protecting her guy and aimed her sword at her, but Jeremiah held on to her struggling guy and continued her words.

“This guy is a gargoyle commanded by an apostle! If he kills the one he sent to confirm, it will be like revealing the location of our escape!”

Certainly, the appearance of the gargoyle he was holding was different from the appearance of those trapped in the cavity. Unlike the guys who didn’t even wear a single thread, it seemed like Jeremiah and the apostle were wearing armor made of bones all over their bodies. At least her pale skin and her full breasts, sparsely protruding from between her bone shells, let her know that she was a transformed woman, like the first Cat Seedle.

“Then what are you going to do?”

Kane eventually stopped pointing her sword at her.

“The reason why this guy is so hostile is probably because he’s covered in something.”
“Could that…”

Usher frowned at the foul smell that began to drip and dry out of her own hair. It was because an apostle broke a glass bottle on his head before he fled to this place and was buried. Then there was no way he would shake this guy off.

“There’s nowhere to wash here…”
“Write this!”

Then, what Jeremiah gave as if tossing it was a pouch. When I received it, the pouch was distorted and the texture I felt was like some kind of powder.

“Sprinkle it and scrub the area where you buried it!”

Usher heard his hastily shouted and immediately opened his pocket and poured it over his head.

“Coke!”

I coughed because the powder was fine, but I held back it and scrubbed his hair, face, and the places where the water burned and dripped with both hands for a while. The powder stuck to the place where the moisture remained, and when it came off like powder, it fell to the ground.

“Kiruk?”

Then, as the guy Jeremiah was holding onto gradually stopped her struggle, he released him.

“Kyik?”
“Ugh.”

Then, as he got nervous as he approached and smelled it, he lowered his head gradually and finally found the powders that had fallen on the ground.

“Kishia!”

He frantically began to scrape off the tiny powders with his fingernails, shredding them into invisible pieces.

“Go quickly through this gap!”

They ran down the aisle, taking advantage of the moment that he was distracted there. Then we reached a dead end.

“Wait a minute, how did this happen…!”
“First, check it yourself and say something!”

Kane tried to say something, but Jeremiah shouted and pressed down on a brick on one side of the wall, and it went out. Then, the wall, which I thought was a dead end, opens while rotating around the center. As Jeremiah enters there, they follow the passage.

-Guuuuu

Eventually, the place they passed through became a wall again and was blocked.

“Are you safe now?”
“Yes, there will be no detours for the gargoyles to crawl through.”

He answered Usher’s question, looking at the now blocked wall.

“Anyway, it looks like you’ve been firmly stamped by one of the apostles. It’s no wonder that you released Balak, who is no different from your own limbs, and chased after him.”
“Are those gargoyles the ones who changed Cattsy?”

When asked just in case, Jeremiah nodded her head.

“Looking at that, it seems that you all fell into the dungeon of the capital.”

That sorcerer is really in control of everything. He mumbled as if lamenting, then continued.

“I’d like to explain them in detail, but first we’ll find out where we’re staying.”

I followed him who led the way again, and soon a cave that went up came out. When we reached the end of the winding large cave, the sight we saw was another cavity. At the same time, I was perplexed by the gathering gaze, so soon their appearance came into my eyes. Starting with humans, Cattsy, and even Harpies.

From the appearance of those who had previously visited the island of mermaids, it was clear that this was the reason Gideon set up a rescue party. Even simple huts were gathered in the back to form a small village-like appearance. In that case, Nausicaa and Gideon and Rachel, who should have arrived first, must be here.

Hungry, buzzing, but as soon as I found them, the gazes that gathered and whispered and looked at us were somehow hardened because they contained hostile emotions.

“Fortunately, he was safe. No matter how long we waited, there was no news, so I wondered if we should escape by ourselves.”

Gideon, who had stepped out from between them, checked Usher and Kane and spoke to them, at least part of their gaze withdrew.

“It’s inconvenient to talk here, so let’s get together and talk.”

Standing in front of the hut that arrived, Gideon said.

“Sir Rachel, are you there?”
“Ah, Sir Gideon, what happened…”

Then, Rachel, who had removed the tent from the inside of the hut, walked out and, as if she had spotted them, widened her pale sky-blue eyes and came quickly towards them. Perhaps because of this, the moment Kane flinched at her and flinched at her arm.

“Are you okay?! What happened in the meantime!?”

She knelt in front of Usher, cupping his cheeks with both hands, and watching him anxiously with her azure eyes.

“Uh, uh, uh, look over there…”

It was embarrassing for her to come in front of her nose and look at herself, but when she complained that her woman’s rough hands were stinging as she massaged her own cheeks, Rachel let go of his cheeks in pity.

“I’m sorry. You must have arrived with us. No matter how long I waited, you didn’t come.”

He averted his gaze at the feeling of Rachel brushing his hair in a bitter voice. Is it because of Belka’s work? Usher said she was still uncomfortable. She felt that if she didn’t suppress it, she would pour out her resentment, saying that if Rachel hadn’t taken her girl, she wouldn’t have died. She’s barely ignoring Rachel.

“Kuh-kuh, isn’t it bad for you to have strong maternal love? Don’t be too disappointed?”
“…Shut up.”

There was Jeremiah, who tapped Kane’s shoulder with a laugh that made her shoulders rise somehow, and Kane, who couldn’t let go of his hand and trembled at her.

“Big.”

Usher, who turned his head at the sound of laughter that came from somewhere, wondered if he had heard it wrong. That’s because Gideon was where the laughter came from. But he soon realized that he had heard it right. The corners of his mouth were quivering as he closed his eyes with his arms crossed.

“Big, big.”

Finally, when Kane cleared her throat and made her noise, Rachel looked at him as if she realized he was there.

“Ke, Sir Kane was there too.”

Then, as she rubbed her cheek, watching her withdraw from her own hair, her Gideon said.

“Now that the greetings are over, let’s gather at my hut. We need to discuss the future.”

The hut that followed him was not so different from other huts. Rather, the inside felt shabby except for what was really necessary. It was the moment they were about to settle down there.

“Go slow!”
“Let go of this! I don’t know what I’ll do if I don’t check right now!”
“I think I’ll do enough work now!”

The commotion approached, and soon the hut swung open and it was three women who entered.

“Nya, what makes you so strong?”
“… Mr. Usher.”

Along with Krikaliev, black haired Katsy, Lenny, who helped him, and Helena, a maid with impressive bobbed pink hair close to purple. And in front of her is a harpy whose soft brown eyes seem to glow with bluish-green light as if they are blazing with emotion.

“Where is Uncle Yoff!!”

Nausicaa was standing.
