50.

While Ban was looking for weapons, Richt packed the necessary things into a small bag. Money, dried food I found in the kitchen, and some herbs that the doctor had dried and cleaned. As soon as I got everything, I ran back to my class’s side.

Lawmakers also ran out due to the commotion.

“Is there a problem!”

At the lawmaker’s question, Ban looked at him with a cold gaze.

“Someone is targeting us.”

The congressman shook his head at Ban’s words.

“Not me.”

The council member would be in trouble if he were caught harboring a traitor in the village. A huge sum of money was promised to anyone who would find the traitor, but he did not trust anyone in high places. At worst, he could have tried to save the promised money by wiping out the village. Because they are the ones who can do that.

The congressman gritted his teeth and looked out the window. There, the young men I had seen in the next village were loitering around. Six in total. Among them was a man who worked as a hunter.

“Back door, go out the back door. “I will take my time.”

Fortunately, it is not from the country. It was probably driven by simple suspicion. There were more young people in the next village than here. And Hans, their leader, always wanted to escape the small village and live a quiet life. Even though he knew it wasn’t possible.

‘Young people.’

The congressman sighed and opened the front door noisily.

“Hans, what’s going on here?”

“I want to meet the new person in town.”

“Didn’t you say you already left?”

“really?”

Hans smiled and looked at the councilor’s face. Rain was still falling from the sky. The two looked at each other and faced each other quietly. At that time, a sound suddenly came from behind the house.

“here!”

The conversation didn’t last long. But other young men also heard it.

“Is it there?”

Hans chuckled and walked away.

“stop!”

The congressman tried to stop Hans. Hans didn’t know it, but Richt was not alone. And the other person is said to have been injured. Six untrained people cannot overcome this. Everyone tried to stop him, but Hans did not listen.

“Stop it!”

The remaining five ran to the back of the house. The congressman was about to run there after Hans, but stopped. What can I do by running now? He had no power to stop the knight.

“Ahh!”

A faint scream could be heard through the harsh sound of rain. After that sound, no other sound was heard. It was just quiet. The congressman still stood there for a long time. Then, belatedly, he took a trembling step towards that direction.

There were six corpses on the floor. The puddles that should be holding rain are instead filled with blood. It seemed like each one of them died without being able to scream properly because their throats had been attacked.

A horse disappeared from the stable. No, no. To be exact, there weren’t two of them. One of the horses must have been carried by a guest. What about the other one? Now that I think about it, I can’t see Mary.

‘no way?’

It was Mary who seemed to like Richt.

‘Did you follow me?’

No, no. Mary was still a wise child. He couldn’t have followed the traitor. then? The congressman’s face turned pale. Although he thought it couldn’t happen, his body trembled with an ominous feeling. He moved his body hastily.

“are you okay?”

Richt checked Van’s condition. Although he easily took down the six men who attacked him, he was worried.

“it’s okay. “Rather, are you okay, Richt?”

“I’m fine.”

“Aren’t you getting caught in the rain?”

At those words, Richt looked embarrassed and shook off the water droplets falling down his hair. It’s true that it’s raining, but it’s better than the patient getting hit.

“I’m more worried about you than me.”

“I’m really fine.”

Somehow, it feels like the words from earlier are being repeated. After moving for a while, the two stopped talking. The people who invaded seemed ordinary. They say he didn’t look like a mercenary or soldier. I waited for a while, but no one came in.

Of course, they could have been all of them. However, I immediately ran away due to a strange feeling of anxiety. I couldn’t say anything to Jin, but since he was the head of the Shadow Knights, he would behave himself.

‘perhaps.’

It could be something Jin did. Jean didn’t reveal her hatred outwardly, but Licht knew it all. How much he wanted to kill Richt. Of course, he shouldn’t just be killed.

Because if you do that, you won’t be able to lift the curse on your clan. Perhaps they plan to increase trust or get what they want by putting them in danger and rescuing them.

Originally, I had planned to lift the curse by leaving everything behind and settling down. But, I don’t know now. It seemed like he was going to kill me if I lifted the curse now.

“Ugh!”

The floor was very slippery after the rain. Ban caught Richt, who was about to fall down the slope.

“thank you.”

“Of course it has to be done.”

Van offered to carry Licht, but he refused. Only half of the people can fight when the time comes. If you carry someone on your back for no reason and a fight breaks out, you will be in trouble. The two walked in silence for a while.

“A traitor?”

The captain of the city’s Sorbitol security guard looked at the woman who was soaked and shivering in the rain. She said the traitor on her bounty was hiding in her own village. The guard captain looked outside. The weather was not good. Moreover, she did not know that this woman was lying.

“You’re out of luck.”

But I had to move. Because the opponent is a traitor. If what the woman named Mary said was true, she could have been reprimanded later. Why didn’t she move when she knew there was a traitor?

“Everyone gather together now!”

The bell installed at the security station rang, and the security guards gathered. I have already sent the news to the lord. After they departed, the soldiers and knights would also move.

“Kkkkkkkk!”

It wasn’t going to be much help because it was raining, but I brought the dog with me.

“From now on, we will catch traitors!”

The guards looked stern at the guard captain’s words. Traitors are not people who are easy to spot. So it was natural to be nervous.

“You should never miss it.”

After conveying a few things to pay attention to, the guards moved. Those who rode horses first rode through the rain. Mary was the guide.

“Of course on a rainy day.”

Someone grumbled, but the sound was quickly drowned out by the sound of rain. I rode a horse to the middle and then walked up. By the time we arrived at the village, some time had passed.

“Mary!”

A councilor who was loitering at the entrance to the village came running calling Mary’s name.

“What the hell is going on!”

The moment Mary saw her father’s strangely distorted expression, her heart sank.

“why.”

There were security guards right in front of me, so I didn’t raise my voice any higher, but it looked like I was in trouble. The congressman squeezed Mary’s hand and then released it.

“I heard there is a traitor. Guide me.”

The guard captain did not wait for them to talk. The congressman led them to his house with a look of abandon.

“There’s a body.”

“They were people looking for a bounty.”

“okay. “By the way, you were hiding a traitor?”

“Mo, I didn’t know. “We didn’t know!”

Mary answered urgently.

“I went to report it too.”

“Yes, I did.”

“If they were really trying to hide it, they wouldn’t have reported it.”

“I guess so.”

The guard captain answered half-heartedly. Meanwhile, the guards were scattered here and there, looking for traces.

“Here are the hoof prints!”

Although it was almost completely washed away by the rain, a few traces remained.

“Chase. And some remain to protect the village.”

The congressman hugged Mary, who was standing next to him, tightly. Although he was saying that, the guard captain’s face was cold and stiff.

“Mary.”

“… … yes?”

“If you get the chance, run away.”

“why?”

Why did he have to run away? Mary looked up at her father in confusion. Then he looked around and realized: The guards were gathering the villagers to the center. However, the hand is very rough. Some people kicked or hit people who refused to move.

For a moment, I was out of breath. What mistake did she make? Her fingertips were shaking.

“At least you survive.”

The congressman shouted and picked up the poker that was lying in a corner. Then he rushed at the nearby security guard.

“Run away!”

How could I abandon my father and run away? Mary was what she thought, but her feet moved first. She ran hurriedly.

“We are slowly approaching the end.”

“But is it okay to do this?”

Lu, who was next to me, said.

“Why not? “Do you feel sorry for Mary?”

“little.”

“More than your clan?”

“That’s not it.”

“Then leave it alone. Because he brought it on himself. “No matter how much I pushed your back, it wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t come forward.”

Jin said coldly.

“You’re better at catching spirits than that, right?”

“Yes, I’m holding on to all three of them well.”

“Don’t let it move until the end.”

“I know.”

Lu looked at his spirit Ar. There were three small birds in her arms. She was struggling like crazy, but she could not escape the sphere of water she had created.
