Chapter 56. The truth revealed (2)
3.
Ulan, Noah and Laurea.
Among them, the one the group paid attention to was Noah.
It was she who first spoke of the existence of Astevan, the lord of the immortals.
It’s not just that.
Noah knew how to fight Astevan, the curses and black magic he used, and even how to eliminate him.
The fact that he knew so much detailed information that could not be obtained through normal means naturally made him questionable.
“So, tell me.”
What on earth are you hiding?
Delia’s eyes sparkled as if telling her to speak quickly, and Ulan, Noah, and Laurea exchanged glances in silence.
Some time after that.
Laurea was the first to speak.
“great. “I’ll tell you everything.”
She has a rather solemn expression.
But what came next was something no one expected.
“Just give me one day before that.”
“Yes? “You want me to give you time?”
“The reason is?”
Delia narrowed her eyes at the sudden request for time. Laurea then explained why time was needed.
“Ulan is just waking up. “On the outside, he looks fine, but I think it would be better to rest a little more.”
“Well, that’s definitely… … .”
“Well, I was hurt that much.”
Ian and Perticia nodded.
As if recalling the sight of Ulan covered in blood while fighting Asteban.
Meanwhile, when Ulan was mentioned, Dilia was also speechless. Because it was something she didn’t want to do that was a burden on her Ulan’s body.
“I’m fine.”
But then Ulan opened his mouth.
As if it doesn’t really matter.
“Except for my body feeling a little tingly, there is no particular discomfort. “You can tell me now.”
“I heard that’s true?”
Delia glanced at Laurea.
With a somewhat triumphant expression.
Laurea closed her mouth as if momentarily at a loss for words. But after a while, she did not give up and continued speaking again.
“That’s a good thing. But even if Ulan is okay, we need about a day.”
“why?”
“Because I have to organize the story.”
Even if you tell everything, it’s a waste of time to just talk about it without any context.
So we need to organize the story so that everyone can understand. This is why Laurea asks for time.
“So, I’ll wrap up the story today and reveal all the facts tomorrow morning.”
From what I heard, it was a valid reason.
The group soon came to a consensus.
“Hmm, not bad. “It’s just one day anyway.”
“Yes, I agree too.”
“that’s right. Ulan said it was okay, but it would be better for her to rest anyway.”
Following Ibella, Ian and Perticia also agreed with Laurea. I decided that it would be better for everyone to hear the story in an organized manner.
Afterwards, even Sven nodded silently, and Delia had no choice but to step back.
“… … okay.”
“Thank you, Delia.”
“Well, we’ll get together again tomorrow morning, so get everything sorted out by then.”
“Yes, I will.”
Opinions finally became one.
Laurea smiled brightly.
After a while, the group stood up one by one. It was to give Ulan, Noah, and Laurea time to organize their stories.
After the door closed, Laurea suddenly turned to Ulan and Noah.
“Is everyone gone?”
“yes? Of course… … .”
“I’m asking if the spirits have gone too.”
She corrects the question and asks again.
In response, Ulan looked around.
“For now, it’s not in the room.”
“good. Then let’s go too.”
“what? Where?”
“The weather is nice, so I’m going to go out and talk. “It’s better to be outside than to stay in your room, right?”
It wasn’t wrong.
Maybe it was because I was lying down for a week, but I was a little sore.
“Anyway, come out when you’re ready. “I’ll be waiting at the back door.”
After I’ve said everything I wanted to say.

Laurea left the room that way.
It was with a somewhat excited smile.
4.
Some time after that.
Ulan and Noah headed to the back entrance of the hotel.
A relatively quiet place compared to the main gate. Thanks to this, I was able to easily find Laurea without having to look around.
“I’m here?”
She looks this way with a smiling face.
Meanwhile, Ulan, who discovered Laurea, opened his mouth with a slightly curious expression.
“You changed your clothes.”
“Yes, because it stands out too much.”
The clothes that Laurea originally wore were pure white robes that symbolized a saint. On the other hand, she now wore a light brown coat with black robes underneath.
As just mentioned, this was to prevent it from attracting attention for no reason. Murka was a city with many Eloden believers.
“Anyway, if you’re ready, let’s go quickly.”
“yes? “Where?”
“If you follow me, you’ll find out.”
Laurea laughed bitterly.
Ulan and Noah looked confused, but followed her without saying a word.
After a while, the three arrived at a street crowded with people. It was a famous market alley, the most crowded place in Murca.
“This place… … .”
“It looks like a market.”
Ulan and Noah look around.
The two immediately looked at Laurea.
As if asking why you came to this place. Then Lau Lea lightly shrugged his shoulders.
“I just came out to take a short break.”
“You’re taking a break?”
“okay. “You can think of it as a way to relax and organize things to talk about before revealing the truth to everyone tomorrow.”
This answer makes sense in its own way.
Of course, Laurea seemed to have another purpose. The excited smile is proof.
“Okay then, where should we start?”
That was when I looked around with my eyes sparkling.
A familiar sound struck my ears.
Gurgling!
It’s a sound coming from Ulan’s stomach.
Now that I think about it, I remember that I haven’t eaten anything since I woke up. Laurea asked back with an awkward smile.
“Uh, shall we eat something first?”
“I agree.”
Ulan’s eyes flashed fiercely.
Since the place happened to be a market, the area was filled with all kinds of food.
As soon as the decision was made, Ulan started wandering around the market like a hunter in the forest, devouring all kinds of food.
Food disappears with great force, like a storm. Noah and Laurea muttered as if they were tired of this sight.
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
“Well, I starved for a week… … .”
Ulan usually eats five to ten times more than others. It was understandable since he had been fasting for a week.
While Ulan was concentrating on food, Laurea looked around the market with Noah. At the same time, she continued to express admiration.
“Wow, there are a lot of interesting things.”
Eyes that sparkle like stars.
Like a child looking at a strange toy, Laurea could hardly look away.
“Well, this is the center of commerce.”
It is the city with the most developed commerce and trade in the Serene Kingdom. Moreover, the place where the three are currently located is where the largest market in Murca is located.
Of course, there are bound to be a lot of interesting items.
“Now that I think about it, Noah must have traveled to various places when he was a player?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“i envy you. “I haven’t gone on a trip since I was chosen as a saint candidate when I was young.”
Her face showed honest emotions.
As if he was truly jealous. At the same time, she glanced at Ulan on the other hand. Then Ulan, who was concentrating on the food at the time, suddenly opened her mouth.
“I will have to leave soon.”
“uh? “Really?”
“Because in your last life, you said you became an official saint and immediately went on a pilgrimage.”
And during the pilgrimage, he and Ian take on the trials of a warrior. Ulan, recalling the events of his past life, spoke again.
“You can travel then.”
“… … “Pilgrimage and travel are different.”
“hmm? “Is it something else?”
“okay! “It’s completely different.”
Laurea made a sullen expression.
As if he didn’t like Ulan’s answer. Then she sighed and grumbled.
“Anyway, I don’t have any sense in this area.”
“Do you notice?”
“If you ask that question, it means you don’t have any sense. Anyway, this story is over now!”
It was just something I said anyway.
Laurea knew better than anyone else that she could not go on a journey even if she wanted to, until her mission as a saint was completed.
Afterwards, the moment I started walking again.
I met familiar faces.
“Oh, aren’t you a saint?”
The Paladins of Eloden.
When they encountered Laurea in the middle of the market, they asked back with surprised faces.
“What are you doing here?”
“I just left because I was a little frustrated.”
“Well, I see. I understand.”
Laurea had been trapped in the hotel for a week. The Paladins who were nodding their heads suddenly looked around Laurea.
As if looking for someone.
“however… … .”
“Are you sure you came out alone?”
“You are neglecting the saint. “I think I need to say a word to Sir Marcus.”
The Paladins’ eyes narrowed.
It seems that he was looking for Ian, who usually serves as Laurea’s escort. Meanwhile, Laurea hurriedly waved her hand at their words.
“Gwae, it’s okay! “There is no need for that.”
This is not to defend Ian.
If the Paladins said something like that to Ian, it would also be known to the other party members that he went out with Ulan.
So I desperately made an excuse.
“Because I brought another escort.”
“yes? Any other escort… … .”
“It’s here, right?”
Laurea hugged Ulan’s arm.
At the same time, his earnest eyes twinkled. As if asking me to guess what to say. Ulan, seeing this, nodded her head willingly.
“okay. “I protect Laurea.”
“Ah, then I’m glad.”
“I’m sure Lord Shanktus will feel relieved if a star hero serves as the guard.”
Paladin Master, Khadel Dune Shanktus.
When Laurea heard his name, something came to mind and she immediately asked a question.
“Has Lord Shanktus left the city?”
“Yes, he went on a mission with the Inquisitors early this morning.”
There are two main tasks given to Cadel.
One was a mission given to me by Laurea, and the other was to collect the remains of the priests who were martyred while digging up information about Sven here.
Furthermore, Cadel announced that he was also tracking down the Abyss Cultists who attacked the priests. At the time I was nodding my head silently at the news from Cadel.
This time, the Holy Knights spoke.
“More than that, saint.”
“Do you mind if I ask when you plan to return to the Holy Kingdom?”
It wasn’t rude, it was a valid question.
I had to inform them of what had happened here and also convey the news that the fulfillment of the trust had been fulfilled.
But I can’t go back yet.
“I’m sorry, but could you wait until the day after tomorrow? “I have a story I haven’t been able to share with the Star Warriors.”
“All right. I’ll wait.”
“The Star Warriors are also related to oracles. “Then please finish your story and tell us again.”
“Yes, thank you for understanding.”
After this conversation, the Holy Knights left the three and disappeared. Laurea sighed in relief and stroked her chest.
Because I almost got caught by the other warriors that I was going out with Ulan. Meanwhile, at that time, Ulan had finished his long meal.
“I’m finally full now.”
“That’s because I ate that much.”
Noah responded with a tired look on his face.
Ulan ate enough food to feed twenty people. If you don’t feel full even after eating like this, you should go to the hospital.
“If you’re done eating, do you want to go get something to drink?”
At that time, Laurea spoke.
Maybe it was because I barely overcame the crisis, but I felt thirsty for some reason. Noah and Ulan readily accepted her offer.
“Yes, I like it.”
“I’m fine too.”
“good. Then how about there? “I heard it at first glance and it’s a pretty famous cafe here.”
The place Laurea pointed to was a large cafe.
Next, numerous tables placed outdoors came into view. Ulan muttered unconsciously at that sight.
“It reminds me of the old days.”
“huh? Have you been here before?”
“It’s not that place, but I’ve been to similar places.”
“Where have you been?”
“A cafe in the capital of the empire.”
After answering, Ulan told a story about touring the capital with Ibella several months ago.
At that time, he went to a cafe with a similar atmosphere, and he even told the story of meeting Perticia for the first time there.
“Wait, what? who?”
“I went with Ibella.”
“… … “Hmm, I see.”
Laurea’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
After a while, she spun around with the cafe right in front of her. Then Noah, who was following her, asked back as if he was puzzled.
“what? “Aren’t you going in?”
“I changed my mind. “I want to go somewhere else.”
A sullen, subdued voice.
At that moment, Noah knew right away.
Ulan’s answer just now made her feel uncomfortable. So, while she was just looking around for no reason, Lau Lea spoke again.
“And actually, there are things I want to drink more than coffee.”
“uh? “What is that?”
“I’ll find out when I get there.”
Laurea quietly regains her appetite.
Noah tilted his head.
Ulan, on the other hand, realized what Laurea had said. It was natural. There has always been only one drink she likes.
“Then let’s go.”
Laurea smiled brightly, as if she had never looked so sullen, and grabbed their hands.
Only she didn’t know.
There are eyes watching Laurea and Ulan together from afar.
