Chapter 122: Priests of the God of Lies and Deception (7)
“Hmm?”
Ketal was puzzled by her reaction.
“You haven’t done anything wrong, though.”
“Th-then why are you leaving? It’s because I did something wrong, right?”
Arkamis’ expression became extremely desperate.
She stammered with a worried face.
“Why, why, why? Did I do something wrong? If there’s something bothersome, I’ll fix it. I’m sorry.”
“Calm down.”
Ketal said in a calm voice.
“It’s not your fault. Something has come up.”
Ketal explained.
He had a connection with a priest whose holy sanctuary was under attack by evil forces.
He was leaving Denian’s capital to help.
Hearing this, Arkamis’ expression slowly calmed.
She stepped back with an embarrassed look.
“Oh, is that so? I thought I did something wrong.”
“There’s nothing like that. You’ve been very kind to me.”
“That’s a relief.”
Arkamis let out a sigh of relief.
She truly thought Ketal was leaving because she did something wrong.
With the misunderstanding cleared and her heart calmed for a moment, Arkamis’ face suddenly turned bright red.
‘Ah, oh no.’
She really thought it was her fault.
That’s why she clung to Ketal almost pleadingly.
Looking back at her actions, she felt very embarrassed.
“So, what’s your relationship with that priest? How long have you known them?”
She asked with a cough, clearly wanting to forget her previous behavior.
Ketal smiled and said.
“When I was a mercenary, we handled a few requests together. They were a comrade from that time.”
“...Hmm? Just that?”
Arkamis was puzzled.
Would he go to the holy sanctuary to help just for that?
“That’s right.”
“......”
Arkamis was momentarily speechless.
But she soon accepted it.
‘He’s a barbarian of the White Snowfields, after all.’
She knew well enough that Ketal had a unique personality.
There was no reason to be surprised now.
“So, dark mages are attacking a god’s holy sanctuary? They must be determined.”
“It seems to be quite rare.”
“Rare? I’ve never even heard of it.”
Arkamis shook her head.
“A god’s holy sanctuary is a place directly managed by the god. The site itself is protected by divine power, so most evils can’t even enter.”
“Interesting.”
“Attacking such a site... What are they planning?”
Attacking a god’s holy sanctuary made no sense. Even demons wouldn’t gain anything from it. If they attacked a human kingdom instead, it might make sense, but this was incomprehensible.
“Do you know which god it is?”
“It’s the god of lies and deception, Kalosia.”
“...Huh?”
Arkamis paused.
“Kalosia? That god?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm... No, it’s nothing. It probably doesn’t matter.”
“It seems like there’s some issue with the god Kalosia.”
Milena and Barbosa also reacted oddly to the name Kalosia.
‘Is it because it’s the god of lies and deception?’
Despite this, Naplas and Heize didn’t seem to have any problems.
Ketal’s comment made Arkamis flustered.
“Wait, you don’t know?”
“I’m a barbarian of the White Snowfields.”
“...Oh.”
Arkamis had a face of realization.
“Right. I assumed you’d know because even an elf like me knows this.”
Arkamis began to explain.
“A god is an entity that governs its domain. And the followers of that god are composed accordingly.”
The followers of the sun god worship the sun and love the daylight.
The followers of the earth goddess cherish and nurture the earth.
The priests of the god of strength revere strength and train their bodies.
And the priests of the god of lies and deception love lies and deception.
“No way.”
She quickly rushed out.
Ketal followed her.
The yard was completely wrecked by the fierce wind.
And in the center of it stood a man.
Ketal whistled.
“Handsome.”
He had a flawless, perfect face.
The masculine contours indicated that he was a man.
And his ears were clearly different from those of a human.
‘Are all male elves this androgynous and handsome?’
Are there no slightly more masculine handsome types?
I’d like to see a muscular elf sometime.
Ketal casually thought such things.
And Arkamis’ eyes widened in shock.
“You, you!”
“There you are, Lady Arkamis.”
A deep voice resonated.
The man looked at Arkamis and spoke.
“Did you enjoy your time in the human world? But I can’t let this go on any longer.”
The man stood up.
His green hair swayed.
“The world is dangerous. I can’t leave Lady Arkamis in the dangerous outside world any longer.”
The man extended his hand.
“Come with me. Let’s return to our holy sanctuary, Elfo Sagrado.”
* * *
The suddenly appeared elf asked Arkamis to return with him.
Arkamis, momentarily flustered, shouted.
“What do you mean, coming here out of the blue and saying that!”
Arkamis seemed to recognize the male elf.
She frowned.
“I have no intention of going back. I clearly said that when I left.”
“It didn’t matter before. I just thought it was a tantrum from you and accepted it. But not anymore.”
The man narrowed his eyes.
“The world is shaking. Lady Arkamis, you are a High Elf. I can’t leave you in this filthy outside world any longer. Come with me.”
“I clearly said no.”
Arkamis spoke coldly.
The man sighed.
“Then I have no choice. I apologize, but please forgive my rudeness.”
With those words, wind gathered around the man.
Arkamis roughly drew in mana.
Just as a clash was about to occur,
“Sorry to interrupt while you’re talking about something you both know.”
Ketal intervened.
“But I’d like to know what’s going on as well.”
“K-Ketal.”
Arkamis’ eyes wavered.
She hesitated, stopping the mana she was gathering.
The man frowned.
“...Barbarian. Why is someone like you by Lady Arkamis’ side?”
“Right. You and I don’t know each other, do we? It would be good to have a conversation first.”
“No.”
The man cut him off sharply.
“There’s no need.”
At the same time, wind rose up around Ketal, enveloping him.
Ketal’s eyes widened.
“Oh?”
“A barbarian like you should not meddle in the affairs of elves.”
The man completely shut Ketal out.
The wind barrier he created was extremely powerful.
Even a formidable warrior would have difficulty breaking through it.
The man tried to resume his conversation with Arkamis.
But Ketal smiled.
“Let’s not be so hasty.”
Ketal lightly snapped his fingers.
Boom!
“What!”
The wind barrier surrounding Ketal exploded.
The man hurriedly stepped back, eyes wide.
“You, you!”
“Didn’t they say most problems can be solved through conversation? How about we sit down and talk leisurely?”
Ketal said calmly.
