My childhood friend the hero was genuinely angry

21 – Unexpected Encounter (1)

‘Did it work out well for now?’

No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t seem like something went smoothly, and although there were a lot of embarrassing things in the middle, the results were pretty good anyway.

As I expected the worst, I didn’t have to go into an extreme situation with the saintess, and the misunderstanding was resolved. This situation can be considered a really good situation.

If you really look at the results, it really couldn’t have been better than this. So I was quite satisfied with the situation itself.

“I’ve been forgiven… Now… Do with my body… Whatever you want.”

“Yes…?”

“The Goddess said… Now that I have been forgiven, she told me to give birth to about 5 babies in the future out of gratitude.”

“…”

But it seemed like he couldn’t be completely satisfied.

As if she had been brainwashed by someone, the saintess spewed out unknown stories.

She’s no, she’s apologetic, so where the hell did the story of giving birth to a baby come from…?

‘What on earth is the goddess thinking?’

Of course, I know that the goddess said such a story. Her saintess told me about it, and I already knew that a goddess was like that, so there was little embarrassment.

Actually, she is a goddess. She used to say something similar to that when we met before.. I already knew that she was a bit of a weird goddess because she used to tell a lot of dirty jokes from the first meeting.

But the problem was the saintess’ behavior. Of course, if she had common sense, she would have no choice but to know that the words of a goddess should be moderately filtered, but she doesn’t seem to be a saint.

‘Are you naive or full of faith?’

Anyway, the saintess listened to the words of the goddess and tried to put them into practice.

I don’t know if it’s fair to say that what the goddess said to her saint was brainwashing, but anyway, her thoughts and actions right now were enough to make me quite embarrassed.

I don’t know if she’s more innocent than a saint, or if she’s just as strange as a goddess, but I felt the need to hurriedly turn the subject around. If I talk about this topic, I feel like I’m going to become an abnormal person too.

There’s nothing good about being swung around. I hurriedly moved on to the next topic.

“Hmm…! Anyway, why did the saintess say she came here?”

“Yes? Yes… To solve the evil pagan wizard…! I misunderstood.”

“Hmm… An evil pagan wizard…?”

Actually, the case was well resolved, but it wasn’t quite over yet.

I still have a lot of doubts about the saintess. And one of them was how the saintess came.

First of all, the saintess came looking for me as an evil pagan wizard, but she couldn’t help but question her reason for coming like that.

“Has anyone ever said that?”

The reason I had such a question was that no one in the kingdom thought of me as an evil wizard, and even if there were, no one had ever left the kingdom of Alprada.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no one who could accuse me.

By the way, the person who went outside a while ago was Lucy, who became queen, and the guard commander, Mordu, who escorted him, but they would never be the two.

Because they had no reason to accuse me. Other people may not know, but those two were absolutely not.

‘There’s no way other kingdoms have seen it…’

That’s why I wondered if another kingdom was accusing me for a moment. But it was most likely not the case either.

Because Alprada Kingdom is geographically far away from other kingdoms, it is a bit unreasonable to say that other kingdoms witnessed the scene. Also, when I used magic, I not only adjusted the power, but also deployed a shield to prevent damage to the surroundings. So the possibility that someone outside could see the magic is very small.

‘Something’s bothering me… It feels like they’re targeting me?’

Of course, there is no such thing as absolute, and there was a possibility that he saw it somehow.

But even in that case, you wouldn’t be able to pinpoint me and call me a pagan wizard. Because there’s no proof that I did that.

So, I had no choice but to worry about this situation in various ways.

‘Does anyone have a grudge against me? I can’t leave it alone…?’

For some reason, I felt like they were aiming for me precisely, and I felt a lot of malice in the process.

Who the hell was trying to harm me? If that malice could go to the people around me, not to me, wouldn’t it?

So I had to solve this problem, and waited for the saintess’ answer for him.

“Hmm… I haven’t received a report from anyone in particular… But please look at this.”

The saintess listened to my words and showed the letter stored in her black envelope from her own clothes next to her juseom juseom.

A letter with the words [I accuse an evil pagan wizard.]

I took it and started reading it. Regarding the content, there were many cumbersome words, but the conclusion was that the saintess should be judged for heresy.

“I saw this letter, but I don’t know who sent it. However, I checked it myself, and there are actually traces of magic… And I even heard that Xeras-sama was here… I guess so…. Sorry…”

And as expected, the content was about asking me to catch me by pinpointing the person I was.

A very malicious letter that uses a saint to attack me.

In addition, it was such an anonymous letter with meticulousness not to leave any traces.

“Hmm. I don’t know who it is, but I’m guessing this is the wicked pagan wizard?”

However, even after erasing the traces, traces remained.

I was convinced after seeing the black magic crystal extracted from the letter right after I concentrated my mind.

Anyway, the wizard who sent this letter to the saintess seems to be a very poor wizard.

# # #

The saintess, while explaining to Xerath how she came to this place, heard unbelievable words.

The person who sent this letter was the evil pagan wizard he needed to find.

“Yeah…? The heretic wizard is this way? There’s no way that’s the case?”

Hearing those words, the saintess did not understand for a moment what she was talking about. Because the content of this letter itself was a follower who would have done what he was supposed to do as a follower of the Goddess Church.

I don’t know what the outcome would be, but the content of the letter itself was extremely for the Goddess Church, so I couldn’t believe what he said.

“Saint, do you know this kind of energy?”

“Huh…? This is black magic. It’s forbidden in the Goddess Church…”

“The reverberation of this magic was in the letter.”

“Ugh…!”

However, when he saw what Xerath had shown him, he was quickly convinced.

The reverberation of magic that Xerath extracted from the letter, and the crystal of that magic had a black light, and this was conclusive evidence.

The traces of the magician contained in this letter are a type of black magic, and it was a kind of magic that was never allowed in the Goddess Church.

Why was this magic discovered? Of course, the answer was simple. The person who sent this letter must have been a pagan wizard.

“Then I’ve been tricked by a pagan sorcerer until now…”

As soon as she learned the shocking truth, the saintess had no choice but to collapse.

The saintess was led by a pagan wizard and tried to kill a good man named Xerath.

It wasn’t enough that I tried to kill Xerath, and I felt so disgusted that I was being used in a good way without even judging who was bad.

“What the hell am I supposed to do with this… I’m sorry… I’m sorry. I’m trash. I’m sorry…”

When she realized how foolish she had been, she had no choice but to cry again and slap her head on Xerath and apologize.

Her feelings of shame and guilt were preventing her from even raising her head.

I couldn’t even figure out how to apologize for this situation.

I just wanted to die right here.

“I have to go catch him. In the end, the biggest problem was that he cheated on the saintess.”

In that situation, Xerath let out a slight sigh and replied as if it were no big deal.

As he comforted himself, he spat out words of hope that he could catch it.

Looking at Xerath like that, it was Alkena whose tears poured down again. His words were so appreciated, and he comforted her to her.

“That’s true, but there are too few clues. Whoa…”

However, the saintess had no choice but to fall into sadness again.

It is very good that Xerath drew out magic like this, but this alone gave too few clues.

With so little reverberation of black magic, it was impossible to find the black magician who sent this letter.

“It’s such a weak response, I’ll never be able to find it at this level. It’s impossible… Even if I ask the Magic Tower… It’s almost impossible.”

Backtracking is possible if it is an item that originally contains magic.

Perhaps this letter could be possible if I asked the Magic Tower and borrowed their power.

However, the problem was that the reverberation of this magic was too lacking.

With this level of reverberation, tracking was virtually impossible. It was a level where the entire Mage Tower had to be mobilized, and the Mage Tower would not respond to that.

Even if they managed to mobilize the entire Mage Tower somehow, they couldn’t be sure if they would succeed in backtracking.

So I had no choice but to apologize to Xerath again.

She was so sad that there was no way to find the wizard who deceived her and tried to kill Xerath, and the saintess shed tears again at that fact.

“I already found it.”

“Yes…?”

But soon after hearing Xerath’s words, she couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Did you find it…? When the saintess lifted her head and looked at Xerath, Xerath began to recite her spell.

And according to his spell, a black magic crystal shone from Xerath’s hand and turned into smoke to guide him in the direction.

Perhaps he succeeded in tracking back the magic… Was it…!?

“Over there. Follow me.”

“…!?”

Is this so simple…?

I couldn’t believe it after seeing it, but it was true.

“Is this possible…?”

Alkena looked at Xerath, who was walking in the direction she traced back, with a very bewildered mind.
