Ethan welcomed the twins as far from the fountain as possible.
The twins jumped off Fenrir and ran to Ethan.
“Priest Ethan, you’ve been looking for a long time!”
“Do you know how surprised I was when I went to the room and it wasn’t there?”
Ethan said with an awkward smile.
“Why did you look for me without searching?”
Hara meant why you didn’t search and why are you doing the wrong thing.
But, not knowing the bones in the words, Chloe smiled bashfully.
Then he rummaged through his arms and pulled out a small bottle.
“I made it all! antidote!”
“yes?”
Ethan took the antidote with a surprised face.
Charlotte said triumphantly.
“I told you last time. I’m going to help the priest.”
Ethan checked the antidote and inwardly admired it.
‘In the absence of a magic test tool, and poor materials, Yongke also made such an antidote.’
I could tell that it was a fairly high level of antidote just by feeling the magic power.
“So you mean you made this while digesting the expedition schedule? I’m not used to the geography of the swamp, so it must have been difficult to gather the desired herbs?”
Chloe and Charlotte shuddered as they remembered what had happened.
“Ha, I tried not to say it because it seemed like I was being sarcastic. We really thought we were going to die making it.”
“Actually, we used to fight against the prejudice that wizards had poor physical strength, right? But I found out about this. We were in really bad shape!”
“I couldn’t have done it without Fenrir’s help?”
“Fenrir drove us around, found herbs, and did everything. In fact, this is all Fenrir did!”
Chloe and Charlotte stroked Fenrir with one hand as if trusting.
Fenrir then raised his chest with a proud face and cried out loudly.
Aww!
‘I want to be quiet these days.’
Ethan’s eyes narrowed.
He wondered if Fenrir was deliberately trying to f*ck him.
It was only natural that he was interfering with his work in everything he did.
Fenrir’s wolf nose or dog nose would have been able to obtain any material.
Then, the swampland is rather transformed into a place of natural resources.
‘In addition to that, the twins’ magical powers were combined, so it would have been possible to create an antidote without a magic test tool.’
But the person who will use it is now being thrown into the fountain and dying.
Ethan looked down at the antidote with a disgusted look on his face.
chin!
Meanwhile, the twins grabbed Ethan’s arm as if taking him.
“Come on, priest. Now let’s go find the Eastern Ball!”
“Dong Eastern disappeared suddenly, so the priest came to find him, right? Ride on Fenrir and you’ll find it in no time!”
Kreung!
Fenrir was disgusted with those words and stepped back.
It meant I didn’t want to burn Ethan.
“No, it’s fine. The two of you are searching the fortress.”
Ethan sweated and pulled his arm out.
‘It’s absurd to come and save Easton now.’
Easton was destined to pour out all his life force into the fountain and drain it.
If you save him, the hiding place connected to the fountain may not open.
“Ah, the mercenaries will do a better job of the search than us, right? They didn’t seem to expect much from us.”
“Are you proud of that?”
Chloe said proudly when Ethan looked at him like he was pathetic.
“It’s not something to be proud of, but it’s nothing to be sad about!”
“… … .”
Well, the twins were originally like that.
“uh? There’s a fountain! Shall we sit down and rest?”
The twins ran towards the fountain, hoping to be crushed at all.
‘Oh, there!’
When Ethan was dazed, Chloe noticed something and tilted his head.
“uh? Is that?”
“Who’s feet… … .”
“Hey, Eastern Ball!”
Eventually it was uncovered.
Ethan became the heart of a criminal who was caught at the scene of the murder.
Ethan sighed and trudged to the fountain.
“It was already like this when I found it.”
not.
It was put in by Ethan.
At those words, the twins made sad faces.
“Why would someone who tried not to lose the dignity of aristocrats even in the swampy areas… Are you in a strange position?”
“I must have been crazy because of the poison.”
They returned to the Scholar’s face to examine Easton’s condition.
“right. Perhaps he instinctively ran out of the room in search of a cold place.”
“Are you talking about a cold place?”
When Ethan asked, Chloe nodded.
“yes. This poison is sensitive to temperature. So, exposure to a cold environment reduces the activity of the poison.”
“Well.”
did you get caught?
Ethan scratched the back of the head.
Anyway, I’m glad I was able to get over it.
Then Charlotte questioned it.
“But why is the water in the fountain so red?”
Ethan was startled again.
But this time I was able to turn around quickly.
“Ah, this is… My head was ripped from the fountain. So the torn part was healed, but the blood could not be helped.”
“Aha. I must have lost my sense of balance because of the poison.”
“I am glad that the priest found you quickly. Otherwise, he might have died of bleeding rather than poison.”
“You did a great job not taking it out of the fountain. Keeping your body temperature cold makes the poison less spread.”
“… … .”
At the twins’ praise, Ethan felt strange.
‘What do these guys really do not know? Or do you even know this?’
However, Chloe and Charlotte did not notice Ethan’s gaze and began to treat Easton.
“charlotte.”
“okay.”
At Chloe’s instructions, Charlotte lifted Easton’s head slightly with telekinetic power.
And he poured the antidote into Easton’s mouth.
‘damn! ruined!’
Ethan clasped his head inwardly.
But there was no justification to stop the twins’ actions here.
“Okay, now it’s over.”
“Now we have to wait for the antidote to work.”
The twins gave Easton an antidote and then left Easton in the fountain and went down.
It was as if there was nothing to see anymore.
But something strange happened.
Isn’t the water in the fountain getting redder and redder?
Ethan was puzzled.
Easton’s face, which seemed to have lost its antidote to the twins, regained its color again.
However, he became pale again and repeated his search for color again.
‘no way?’
Ethan came up with a horrific conjecture.
‘Because of the antidote, the vitality has increased, and is that vitality being taken away by the fountain again?’
It was.
Easton was undergoing treatment and death at the same time.
Ethan’s face turned pale when he realized the truth.
“How are you, Priest? Aren’t we great?”
“Hurry up and admire our magic skills! Hurry up!”
“… … .”
The twins grinned like puppies hoping for a compliment.
Easton was unconcerned.
Ethan was astonished to see Easton suffering life and death behind the twins.
‘What are all these cruel people?’
Ethan was speechless as he saw the twins smiling innocently.
Even he seemed to be several times more cruel than himself, who had gained notoriety on the continent as the henchman of the Demon King.
That was then.
Kugugugung!
The entrance to the hidden fountain hideout was opened.
* * *
Kugugugung!
“Oh, what a surprise!”
“what?”
The twins were startled by the sudden loud noise and turned around.
As the fountain was pushed aside, a large passage appeared beneath it.
“This… Underground passage?”
“Priest, come over here!”
At the twins’ beckoning, Ethan walked towards them.
“Isn’t this supposed to be a hidden hideout?”
“But why did this suddenly appear?”
“I do not know. I don’t know either.”
Ethan opened his mouth as if he didn’t know anything.
“Oh, I’m going crazy because I’m really curious! What device was there?”
“Let’s look at the fountain.”
“okay!”
The twins scoured the fountain and found the same sentence Ethan saw on the stone.
“When the world is stained with blood, will our world be opened?”
“Ugh, childish. Do all the Dark Followers say this?”
“Anyway, I think this is the password.”
After thinking for a moment, Chloe and Charlotte soon figured out the meaning and exclaimed.
“Ahh! That’s why it’s open!”
All the puzzle pieces fit together in their heads.
But it was too contrived to be considered a coincidence.
The fountain where Easton was buried was just the dark follower’s hideout, and Ethan’s healing act was the key to unlocking the door?
Chloe and Charlotte looked at Ethan strangely.
“Well. Why?”
Ethan made eye contact with the two and imitated Nyx’s eyes.
As far as Ethan knew, Nyx was the cleanest devotee, but only for God.
‘Even though he has a fanatic temperament.’
Seeing Ethan’s clear eyes, the twins dispelled their doubts.
The two groaned a little.
“It can’t be.”
“right. May the priest… Did you spit the Eastern Ball in the fountain and bleed on purpose?”
The two were sorcerers with a cool rationality.
That’s why I didn’t believe in Pars that much.
“Looking at Priest-sama’s progress so far, it seems that God Pars is really watching.”
“Maybe that’s why you helped the priest.”
Seeing Ethan working hard for people made me want to believe in the existence of God.
The twins have attained enlightenment again.
‘One person’s beliefs can affect others!’
The two trembled at the impressive realization.
“Priest, maybe the goddess brought you here?”
“What do you mean?”
Ethan frowned at the absurd conclusion.
But the twins continued talking without hesitation.
“I always thought of this as a child. That’s why Chil-Hero’s actions always overlapped by chance and overlapped, so he became lucky and overcame crises through it.”
“We didn’t believe in coincidences.”
“Ah yes. But what does that have to do with this?”
Ethan put on a shaky expression.
Chloe and Charlotte smiled broadly in response.
“I saw the work today and realized it. It seems to me that God really responds to people like Priest Ethan who use their extraordinary abilities for others.”
“Otherwise, how could the Duke of Eastern get to a fountain like this?”
Ethan just burst out laughing.
This is because the luck that Chil-Hero sometimes experienced and the events of Easton today were all his designs.
“Are you laughing because you think we’re joking now?”
“Did we really mean it?”
“Ah, let’s say that for now. By the way, can I leave the Eastern Ball as it is?”
The twins looked back and were amazed to see Easton dying.
“Ugh!”
“Come on, let’s get it out.”
The twins quickly rescued Easton from the fountain with his telekinetic power.
But Easton was already foaming at the mouth and wandering through death.
Ethan looked at him like he was sorry.
‘I must have experienced hell. Well, it’s up to you whether you die or not.’
