Episode 180. Those who are protected by God (1)
You didn’t hear it wrong.
This is clearly a part of telepathy magic.
Someone nearby was speaking to me in my head.
‘Please, please! If anyone can hear this voice, please save me!’
The more I listened, the more I realized that it was a very earnest yet delicate voice that stimulated my protective instinct.
A request for rescue is refreshing.
Well, could there be a better way than just pointlessly screaming?
Of course, this is assuming that there are people around here who can hear that voice.
In the first place, it is not possible to hear everything about psychic perception just by calling it out.
It’s especially true when you shout randomly like that without any specific goal in mind.
I’ve been rolling around so much that I’ve almost reached absolute perfection when it comes to interpreting mana.
There is probably no one in this place right now who can hear the delicate plea of that unknown woman.
Well, I guess I can say it was both lucky and bad.
It is said that there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that someone who can hear that voice has appeared,
There is a chance that he is one of these people, and even if he sees injustice, he just ignores it and passes by.
I turned my head with a small hope that I would be able to hear his voice next time and that I would meet someone who could help me because I couldn’t bear to see injustice.
[hmm… . Is there a cute cat in the carriage?]
okay. If I just ignore this situation, it won’t be my favorite sword.
I know it without having to say it.
How can you go without helping a woman in danger? That’s not a man’s duty, etc.
He’s probably trying to tempt me by spouting absurd nonsense.
It’s obvious even if you don’t look at it.
It’s not like I’ve been fooled once or twice, and I don’t fall for such trivial tricks… … .
[…] … .]
Kayram, who had been looking towards the carriage, soon turned his gaze away.
[why? what?]
When I looked at her to see what was going on, Kayram stuck out his chin as if he was dissatisfied.
“Are you not saying anything?”
[So what?]
“Something like saving the people in there…” … .”
A time of unfamiliar silence passed.
Kayram, who was staring at me with a bewildered expression, soon grinned and a smile appeared on his lips.
[My master, as your body has grown, it seems your thoughts have matured as well? Now, have you figured out what to do without my sister teaching you?]
I was hit.
It’s like I couldn’t dig my own grave and crawled inside.
I tried to ignore her provocation and hurriedly distanced myself from the carriage.
[Originally, I was going to just pass by, but I didn’t know that my owner was paying attention? how is it? Should I tell you what kind of cat is in that carriage?]
“Even if there is a God, I won’t go.”
If there was that idiot god, it would be a different story.
[There is a white elf.]
The two feet that were moving forward suddenly stopped.
“Who is there?”
[Tuesday Elf!]
As if telling me not to question her again, she continued to speak clearly, one letter at a time.
“… … .”
[Plus, it’s a female.]
* * *
A narrow mountain road that even a small carriage can barely pass through.
The dirt road I was on was uneven, so the carriage shook violently.
-Rat, rattle, rattle.
The carriage sped away as if it was in a hurry to get out, and of course there was no consideration for the people inside.
Because her hands and feet were tied tightly with rope, she was repeatedly hit here and there, and as a result, her arms and legs were covered in blue bruises.
‘help! help!’
There was a gag in my mouth so I couldn’t even scream.
All I could do was senseless telepathy, hoping that someone would listen.
However, no matter how much she appealed and asked for help, no one listened to her voice.
It is a truly hopeless situation with no one who can help.
Sad tears flowed endlessly from the woman’s eyes at the fact that she was alone and isolated.
-sssss
Then, a faint black fog suddenly came in through the crack in the door and lightly enveloped her body.
For a moment, I blinked at the unfamiliar situation.
Soon, someone’s figure began to appear in the blurred vision covered with tears.
A woman with a strange appearance, with long flowing black hair and bright red eyes.
She was sitting cross-legged on the seat across from her, looking at the woman with interest.
The woman realized this.
The woman he sees now is most likely an unusual being.
Not only was she not human, but she was full of the noble aura that came from supreme beings.

‘Poetry, God?’
“Oops!”
For a moment, I was taken aback by the unexpected encounter.
Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt with a groan from those around it.
I turned my head to see something, and soon I heard the sound of people falling down one by one.
Unidentifiable liquids were spraying from the window where the outside could not be seen.
‘W-what’s going on?’
Darkness easily stimulates the primal fears of humans.
Because I can’t see, I don’t know what’s going on,
If you don’t know what’s going on, you won’t know what will happen next.
The situation was different, but the energy I felt was very strange.
It feels as if a devil from the bottom of hell has come up to earth and is coming towards me.
The woman hugged her body even more, feeling a strange fear constricting her entire body.
-plodding along
The life energy of about a dozen people has suddenly disappeared, and only one unidentifiable energy is approaching the carriage.
The woman thought about this.
If the door that is imprisoning you now opens,
He said he would definitely die.
“… … .”
The executioner of death finally arrives at the door,
-clutter
The doorknob turned with a harsh clanging sound, and soon the carriage door opened.
-Soak
The woman lost consciousness and collapsed.
* * *
I’m telling you in advance for fear of misunderstanding, but I didn’t move to save the woman in this carriage.
I’m serious.
Even when I heard from Kayram that there were white elves, I wasn’t impressed at all.
I was just planning to keep going the way I was going.
Why did I create this situation now?
Not because of the woman in the carriage, but because of the guards guarding the carriage.
On the outside, they may look like adventurers or mercenaries carrying out a request, but they are all knights belonging to somewhere.
The proof is in the swords they wore.
There are many different types of swords in this world.
Depending on their size and weight, they are divided into long swords, short swords, great swords, and small swords, and swordsmen who handle them also often have one sword that allows them to utilize their abilities to the fullest according to their body type and aptitude.
To write well, you have to use the pen you used to write, but if it’s a sword you have to protect yourself with, it goes without saying.
In order to carry out a mission, it is rare for even Mist members, who use camouflage as a meal, to even change their swords.
This is especially true for knights who value honor and faithfulness.
If it had been just one or two people, it wouldn’t have been known, but how could it not feel suspicious when more than ten people were all wearing similar swords?
And the sword of the Knights of Light… … .
After the incident seven years ago, the Empire expanded the power of the Knights of Light in earnest to eradicate followers of the Black Fog, including me.
Of course, just because the force expanded, it does not mean that there were more knights who could be active on the front lines like Yulken.
What has actually increased is the majority of young chicks with only patterns drawn like this.
Otherwise, there would be no way for it to collapse in vain without even being able to form a camp.
Well, in the end, they probably aren’t the ones I should pay attention to.
The Empire’s Knights of Light were kidnapping non-human white elves from a foreign country, not the Empire.
The smell is so bad that my nose is rotting.
No, how did you kidnap the white elf in the first place?
There’s no way that a clan that treats humans like insects as much as dragons would have come here on their own, and it doesn’t make sense to kidnap them with a purpose, right?
There’s no need to worry, it’s best to ask the person involved… … .
[This kid really fainted.]
Kayram said, poking her white cheek.
I opened the door thinking he might ask me something, but he fainted as soon as he saw my face.
This situation is not unfamiliar, but
I feel like I’ve been caught up in something quite unpleasant.
The moment I tried to shake my body to see if it would wake me up,
-Pasig
“… … !”
A strong electric current flowed from my hand, as if a spark was occurring.
“what is this?”
I felt a subtle sense of intimidation, as if the strong energy flowing through her body was trying to deny my approach.
[I told you. There is a cute cat.]
Kayram, who was sitting across from me in the front seat, said with a bewitching smile.
[This child is under the protection of God.]
* * *
The time of deep sleep passed by unintentionally as the warmth of the cloak was added to the feel of the cold dirt floor.
I barely opened my eyes for a moment,
The woman quickly got up and looked around.
She was still in the carriage, just as she was before she fell.
The only difference was that the bindings on his hands and feet and the gag on his mouth had disappeared, and instead, a black cloak of unknown origin was wrapped around his body.
The woman recalled her last memory before fainting.
The carriage had clearly stopped, people were screaming, and a dark energy that could hardly be called the energy of this land was approaching the carriage.
Then, the moment the door opened, I think I fainted… … .
It felt like I had a strange dream in the middle of the day.
“… … .”
Suddenly, the sound of trickling water was heard outside the door.
So the woman listened carefully to the door,
-Squeak
The carriage door opened without force.
The woman hesitated for a moment whether to go out or not, but then she mustered up the courage to go outside.
The bright afternoon sunlight and clear flowing valley water.
As if enchanted by the clear water current, the woman ran to the valley.
Then, he put his hands together, took the flowing water, and wet his mouth.
“under… … .”
Only then did the woman smile happily.
“… … !”
That moment of happiness was short-lived, and she quickly turned her head when she heard an unfamiliar gesture from behind her.
A black-haired man looking at himself with his arms crossed with indifferent eyes.
The woman took a guard stance, pulling away the cloak she had wrapped around herself.
However, the woman soon realized.
This cloak that I am wearing right now,
It belongs to the man in front of me.
She finally looked at her body.
The whole body, which was covered in scars, has suddenly returned to a clean body with no bruises.
Did this man not only save her, but also heal her, who was completely injured?
I was confident that this was the person who listened to my earnest appeal.
‘Did you save me?’
She tried talking to her through psychic communication, but
“… … .”
The man only frowned and did not respond.
The moment he tried to speak again, perhaps because his voice had not reached him,
‘Are you unable to speak?’
The man’s indifferent yet sweet voice was spreading deep inside the woman.
