Chapter 445 – Alcohol, Knights, Adventurers -2-

For a moment, I was relieved to see the saintess who had strangely regained her vitality after Ricke’s visit.

As if Atra was a bouncy ball, Majella started bouncing in an unexpected direction.

“Mazella. I will go alone today.”

“No matter what, you’re going to leave without an escort! If you at least let me wait outside…!”

It is also welcome from Majella’s point of view that Atra is invited by trustworthy women to make friends with her.

However, as an escort, she would be worried about sending it alone. Majella begged to at least stand guard outside.

Atra shook her head with a strong attitude, saying absolutely not.

“There is no need to worry. Sister Eclair is with us today. She promised to be our escort during the round trip.”

“5 Knight… Is that so…”

When I think of Eclair’s sword and skills, which I experienced with my own eyes when the devil appeared in the capital, my voice naturally becomes quiet.

Atra approached Majella, who looked downcast.

“It’s not that I don’t trust Majella. I trust her more than anyone else and I understand what you’re feeling right now, so I feel sorry.”

“Saint…”

“However, today’s meeting will be an extension of the confession I shared with Sister Rieke in her penance room, so I don’t know how long it will take… And you know the duties that follow confession, right?”

If she sealed it off with the word of duty, there was no room for even her bodyguard, Majella, to argue.

Majella let out a long breath and nodded her head heavily in agreement.

It wasn’t long before Majella started talking to her to cheer her up.

Atra’s light blue eyes turned to the entrance of the church.

“The sisters are here.”

There were a total of three people who came to meet us, not just Eclair.

Sisters Ricke Bright and Dritna, whom I met yesterday. A truly luxurious arrangement.

“I guess I should say hello too.”

Majella followed Atra’s footsteps, insisting on her heels.

Only after saying goodbye to the saint several times did she send Atra out of the church.

“Pour a drink.”

The words that came out of Roman’s mouth and the actions that he showed through his body.

Even though it wasn’t a loud voice, only Roman’s voice spread, and the space became frozen like ice.

The courtesans who were chattering to brighten the mood closed their mouths.

Even Cedric Floyd, who was drinking alone, stopped moving.

A few seconds passed like that.

A little pressure went into her eyes and she opened her mouth.

“Is this the adventurer’s way?”

“What are you saying? If you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t.”

“···Young friend learned how to fight in a dirty way.”

“If you wanted to be treated like your age, you should have told me in advance. If it was such a stuffy place, I wouldn’t have come.”

I asked her with a sly look on her face, as if there was something wrong with the adventurer’s methods.

Suddenly, I tilted her upper body forward and glared at Roman.

“Since you are in the same position as the idol of adventurers, I can forgive you for not using honorifics towards me as a knight. I even understand that you are in a position that you cannot bow down to lightly.”

“So?”

Roman said one word to keep talking and started harassing the women next to him.

Jurgena, recalling Roman’s frivolous impression she had encountered at the imperial court, clenched her fists to suppress her anger.

“But even so, this kind of behavior cannot be laughed at. As soon as you sit down, if you decide to go up or down and try to eat it, you will use it.”

“I’m against it, I’m against it. I know what it means, so I tried to prove it in a light mood.”

“I won’t question you further since you said that’s the meaning, but I believe you haven’t forgotten the meaning of this place.”

“I’m stiff because I’m worried that someone might think I’m not a knight.”

Roman asks why does she take me so seriously?

She openly lost her temper and spread her senses like a spider’s web.

‘Indeed.’

As expected, the strangeness that Roman felt about her was such that the knights and attendants guarding the door were surprised and upset at the situation where my honor was being openly insulted.

She doesn’t even feel the slightest sense of loyalty to the family that she has to serve with a sense of belonging.

‘Are they like mercenaries brought in from Nema Natas for today?’

Knight 4 is the only one who does not feel the unique dirty energy of this place.

However, she seems to be living life to herself in the most explicit way.

Just looking at the one-sided confrontation made me laugh out loud.

“”···.””

The gazes of Juergena, who had a stiff expression, and Roman, who seemed to have no thoughts, crossed.

How long has it been since there was a snowball fight where no one was willing to bow down?

4 The knight let out a heavy sigh.

“Stop talking about things that will never end.”

Cedric, who felt uncomfortable being caught in the middle, couldn’t hold back and opened his mouth.

“Adventurer. Take a drink.”

“Good.”

Cedric’s thick hand grabbed the opened bottle of liquor and filled Roman’s glass.

Naturally, I changed the subject by adding Saddam.

“You did a lot of work. I heard you were also involved in the truce with the federal government.”

“I was the one who filled up my head to make some money… And the saintess did it all.”

“Is the adventurer’s position positive on the truce?”

“As the places to move expand, adventurers will receive more high-quality requests, so it’s not a bad thing.”

Roman gave a concise answer and stirred the stagnant liquor.

‘Isn’t it poisoned? It’s not fun.’

There are a lot of preparedness measures just in case, but why don’t they even try the clumsy method?

Roman, who passed the drink with regret, grabbed the half-left bottle.

I filled the cup that Juergena and Cedric had left.

“I thought this was such a great gesture that they didn’t even give me a drink.”

“···.”

“The knights are cruel. They are harsh.”

From Roman’s point of view, it’s more like a high-quality liquor that fills up with a gurgling sound.

Juergena’s eyebrows twitching is the best food.

“Adventurer.”

“Hmm?”

“I don’t plan on staying here for long. So, I’ll just ask one question and then go back to the territory. Don’t hide it and answer me.”

Seeing the 4 knights trying to control the mood, Roman shook his shoulders and laughed.

“If you start talking about your preferences in women, it won’t end even after the sun rises.”

“···Listen seriously.”

Pudduk!

The glass cup was caught in Cedric’s large hand and crushed into powder by her grip.

The liquor dripping between her hands caught my eye.

“Why are you so curious that you would voluntarily destroy the atmosphere you had created?”

“What were you doing when the devil appeared in the capital of the empire? Also tell me what kind of relationship you were building with my son.”

4 The knight growled in a low voice and seemed ready to attack.

Roman put his hand inside the servant girl’s clothes and started touching her bare skin.

“Ugh…!”

Roman answered questions with questions, making fun of the two who were having a hard time serving as servants to the warlock.

“You said you were going to ask just one question, but it wasn’t just one?”

“Put aside the prostitutes and answer properly, adventurer.”

Roman’s head, smiling, turned to Juergena.

Juergena seemed to really like the composition that had been formed and finally showed a faint smile.

“Is this the place of reconciliation that the knights are talking about?”

“If you answer Cedric’s question clearly, won’t you be able to resolve the misunderstanding?”

“Ah, something like that? It’s easy to pick on people with a weak approach.”

“Please refrain from making comments that may be misunderstood if someone hears them. My chivalry and credo is that the path ahead will be clear only if I get everything right.”

When Roman lifted her empty glass and held it in front of the servant, her drink filled up.

After pouring down one strong drink after another without any snacks, Roman turned his gaze to the four knights who were anxiously waiting for an answer.

“Old man.”

“Say it.”

“If I say I had nothing to do with it and didn’t kill it, can you believe that?”

“···If that happens, you will have to give proper answers to each and every question. For example, the reason why you were admitted to the religious order at that time, and when and what happened when you met a saint and received trust.”

Even from Roman’s perspective, this guy feels like he’s ugly.

For the bear-man here, the fact that his son became a demon or joined hands with a warlock is not the first thing that matters.

No matter what evil deeds my child committed, I just want to take revenge and relieve my anger.

“If our viscount is curious, a lowly adventurer must answer.”

“You will have to choose carefully the answer you will say out loud…”

After releasing the women he was holding, Roman put his legs on the table and took a comfortable position.

The snacks and liquor bottle that were pushed by his feet fell to the floor and made a mess.

“Is his name Leo Floyd? I killed that scum. I wanted to cut him up because his transformation into a devil was a work of art.”

“···.”

“That’s why, he deserved to die, so I killed him. Even if he hadn’t turned into a devil, I would have cut him into pieces.”

“Thank you for your refreshing words…”

A face as hard as stone.

Knight 4 got up from his seat, shook off the glass shards from his hands, and headed towards the wall.

The place where the large body that makes a thumping sound every time it walks is headed is where the weapon is.

3 The knight’s curved sword hangs on the wall like a decoration, and below is the weapon Cedric brought with him.

There was a huge ax lying there.

Roman looked at the backs of the four knights standing in front of him and gave advice in a gentle tone.

“Old man. If you pick that, you’re going to see your son.”
