Chapter 178 – Amaranth Monastery (2)

After all, destiny is like a paper boat thrown into flowing water, like children running endlessly along the riverside, knowing that one day the paper boat will sink. If there is no goal, the ship will surely sink.

Without a goal, children lose their purpose and spend time empathizing with futility while sitting down.

Only ships that clear obstacles step by step with the progressive goal of going to sea can go out to sea and achieve their dreams. Only the children who ran towards the goal of sending them to the sea are entitled to share the joy.

Our dream was not a one-dimensional revenge. We were little paper boats dreaming of going to sea. They were people who were thinking about how to recover after Alexander’s death, and they were people who had to think about what position they had to be in to kill the warriors and move on to the next step.

Even if it hadn’t been for Millia’s suggestion, we would have caught and killed someone who worshiped the devil for some reason. That process was necessary to send Rumia out into the great sea and materialize the next step.

So we decided to help her by following her suggestion of her milia.

So now I was sitting on the street corner in full view of the Amaranth Monastery, scanning the teleport scroll.

“Because magic is so strange. If you use this little piece of paper, you can fly up to 100m.”

The teleport scroll was an item airlifted from the Magic Tower. The use of portable scrolls was very limited. It could not be moved too far, and could only be used where the mark was activated. I tucked the teleport marker deep under the tree and hid the scroll in a lining pocket.

And once again faced the sign.

Amaranth Monastery.

Andrew, the abbot of the monastery, believed that people who had sinned could repent. He believed that if you reflect on your sins through penance and look back on yourself through prayer, you will surely be born again. Every day he prayed for sinners, and once a month he went out to a nearby city to publicize the monastery.

The information we obtained did not merely mean that Andrew was zealous for reformation.

This meant that once a month, there was a day when Andrew and other leaders of the monastery were away.

After confirming the specific date and cycle, we started preparing. Rumia contacted the capital city through the church in the west, and I ordered a teleport order from the Mage Tower.

Taffy and Sofia were made to wait at their respective positions, and the mousetrap was made to follow Rumia. Because my family was all scattered, I was alone here now. Can I break through the complicated and spacious building structure and crowded monastery by myself?

It was impossible to answer first. I didn’t know what demons were lurking inside those crypts, and there was a better chance that the abbot would return before I’d killed everyone on my own. There was a chance the devil would kill Kelly while I was rampaging, and the strange security system would activate and I could get caught too.

Assuming the worst, I moved forward. From a distance, I would have looked like a shepherd or a keut wandering around. It was because he was walking leisurely in the grass, wearing a loose vest and shorts. His face was painted black with charcoal, and his hair had also been dyed through magic.

The gatekeeper looked at me, frowned for a moment, then quickly lost interest and gestured.

“This is off-limits to the public. Go back.”

Guards are friendly to outsiders. If the person doesn’t make a futile attempt to get inside, the guards become more friendly and reticent than anyone else. I showed it to him and smiled. The guard looked at me with a frown on his face, then smiled awkwardly and nodded.

“Come on, come in quickly. Don’t do anything weird.”

As if he instinctively sensed my odds, he began to soothe me. Then, ignoring his kindness, I started running toward the wall.

“Uh, uh! Wait for a sec! Stop! Stop!”

A guard came running to me brandishing a spear. However, his spear only cut through the air, and my collar flew along with the wind blowing through the spear. The guard only watched as I leisurely climbed the wall with his posture distorted.

“Emergency! Emergency! It’s an intruder!”

A quick and quick response followed. By the time I climbed halfway up the wall, the guards rang the bell and summoned the soldiers, and the soldiers were gathering on the wall. As I grabbed the corner of the castle, clubs and stones flew in as if I had waited.

The soldiers gritted their teeth and tried to block my intrusion. I jumped over the wall avoiding the clubs flying at the same time. I pushed them away as if I was running a hurdle, and threw myself into the monastery.

“Stand there! Hold on!”

They grabbed my vest or grabbed my arm and tried to pull it. However, before I could grab my open hand, my body fell to the floor, and the soldiers clinging to the castle only stared at me with blank eyes.

Facing me as I landed on the floor were soldiers with puzzled expressions and prisoners moving their bodies in time for a walk. All dressed in white, they faced me with pale faces, trying to understand the situation.

“What, what!”

“Catch!”

Dozens of soldiers rushed at the soldier’s cry. A few soldiers made all prisoners look at the wall to control the prisoners. Clubs and spears flew at me, and I avoided them one by one, trying to get to the prison somehow.

With each step I took, I could feel the soldiers swinging their spears more desperately. The soldiers gritted their teeth and looked at me with red eyes.

There was a possibility of disciplinary action just because there was someone who had already crossed the wall.

As much as going to prison, he showed his will to prevent it.

And someone grabbed my vest and pulled me. I couldn’t help but stumble and fell backwards, clubs and kicks flying. I crouched down and started screaming as hard as I could.

“Aagh! Aww! Aaaaagh!”

Dust rose. My body sagged, and the soldiers exhaled and looked down at me. I just rolled my eyes and waited for the next situation. The soldiers were arguing and discussing how to dispose of me, and one soldier gave an opinion.

“Let’s lock it up. He’s a suspicious guy. Haven’t you seen him jump over the wall in one fell swoop? There must be a spy from some faction that has ill feelings towards our Amaranth Monastery. It could be a church, or a member of a criminal organization somewhere.”

Another soldier said.

“Right. It certainly seems right that the abbot should use his own strength to investigate him.”

The other soldiers nodded at his words. The madman who suddenly entered the monastery could not be released. I was dragged into the dungeon with thick shackles on. The setting was that I lost my mind after being beaten, so the soldiers dragged me.

“Look through your clothes.”

“Nothing.”

The lining pocket was a very secretive device. There was no way for these soldiers, who had not undergone special body search training, to find out.

The soldiers threw me to the prison floor as if they thought that handcuffs and shackles were enough. I rolled across the floor like a load of luggage, then hit a wall and stopped. The soldier left me slack and nailed the chains of the handcuffs and shackles to hold me firmly in place.

It was a long time since I felt the cool feeling of the car.

“Wait a little here. Because I called the abbot now. In a little while, we’ll find out what your plan was to invade here. Hehe.”

The soldier wrinkled his face with an inappropriate threat. I just looked down at the floor, avoiding his gaze. As if the soldier thought his threat had worked, he stepped out of the prison and locked the door. Then he waved his hand at a soldier coming around the corner and said,

“Hey, Eddie. You were in charge of the prison side today.”

The soldier named Eddie nodded his head. He was a soldier I knew very well. Because Rumia treated his mother when she was ill. Eddie silently nodded, and the soldier handed him the key.

“Then be careful. That guy climbed over the castle wall alone. He’s a scary guy.”

“Okay.”

A pat on the shoulder and the soldier disappeared. The soldier’s footsteps remained as an echo, and when that echo died down, I stood up.

Only the sound of my movements echoed clearly in the silent prison. The handcuffs were made of a very hard material. I knew where these handcuffs were used.

They were steel handcuffs used to subdue fearsome beasts.

“Hey, I tied it with a thick one.”

I reached out to the sky and gave it strength. As if glasswork were being shattered, iron dust fell from the back of the head, and the handcuffs came off with a popping sound. I hit the chain that hung like an accessory with my fist to break it, and with both hands, I loosened the shackles as well.

Eddie silently watched while I was free.

I said with a smile.

“Eddie. So, where is he imprisoned?”

Eddie held a torch and opened the prison door. Eddie asked me out of prison.

“Really, can you succeed?”

“It’s a plan that can’t fail. Guide me, and you can just run away.”

Everything was planned.

From Eddie’s cabin before I was taken to prison.
