Chapter 147: Nathan's Suggestion
Nidhogg pointed at Nathan.
"Huh?" Brunhild turned to Nathan with a confused expression.
"You bastard!" Frir surprisingly raised his voice, glaring at Nidhogg.
"Huh?" Brunhild turned to Frir, not expecting that kind of reaction. If Nidhogg was wrong, Frir would have harrumphed or looked nonchalant, but this kind of reaction only proved Nidhogg's words were true.
Brunhild wasn't the only one. Ev Anubis couldn't believe that Nidhogg would do such a thing.
He thought, 'Did he just do the same thing as Frir? Back th, Frir made Risa do some bold things, which would d up pushing her summoner to act.
'By making that bird woman focus on Nathan, he made it look like Nathan was the only solution.
'Th again, he wasn't lying. It's true that our summoner is rather special. While he is only a mortal, he has the quality that people rarely possess.
'If that so-called Valkyrie ds up seducing the kid, will it cause her summoner to do the same thing? And I can't dy that it's the best method to control him.
'The momt I know his personality as an emy, I will probably first sd a good-quality woman to his side, turning him into a complete fool. Th again, he might have realized it at that point and might use that fact against me.
'Still, if we are allies and want to bully Frir, this is the best way. Killing Frir is impossible, but bullying him is easy.' Anubis looked down for a momt. 'Should I do the same as well? But unlike them, I'll probably need some befits. Hmm…'
Anubis completely misunderstood Nidhogg.
Nidhogg simply wanted to see Frir suffer. He didn't have any other inttions.
Still, the two of them ded up fighting each other, leaving Brunhild astounded.
Nathan simply shook his head helplessly. Brunhild looked at Nathan for a momt as if she were thinking about something.
Fortunately, Sera returned before they escalated the matter.
"What are you doing?" Sera asked, ssing the tsion in the air.
"It's nothing." Nathan waved his hand as though it wasn't a big deal.
"I have brought all the ropes and the shackles I could find." She showed a lot of them, but it was still not ough for all the bandits.
Hce, Nathan said, "How about you tie them up first? Some will be fine since it'll lift some burd off Anubis' shoulder. After that, you should go back to the city and ask for the authorities to come and arrest them. You have quite a reputation and are a summoner, so they should assist you."
"That's…" Sera looked away.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know if I should do it. I'm afraid that these guys are just trying to get some money. And since they look like they hav't killed people or tortured them, I don't know if I should capture them."
"Th why would you bring those chains and ropes?"
"I'm just planning to tie them up and bring them to the village. Maybe I can educate them."
Nathan facepalmed. "The momt you do that, they will only hate you and probably the church you belong to."
"What?" Sera was tak aback by Nathan's statemt.
"I mean. Look a you. We have killed a lot of bandits. If we bring them back, fully aware that they might be relatives of the people of that village, what do you think they will do?
"They might turn against you, and ev worse, they might harm you in one way or another. Don't forget that they've poisoned you without you realizing it once.
"Wh that happs, I might not be beside you to take care of it." Nathan explained.
"But…" Sera's head was hanging low.
Nathan was aware that she wasn't as smart as Sela, and she also had her beliefs. However, Sera was reasonable ough to list to people's opinions.
Hce, Nathan suggested, "How about this? You can call the authorities first and explain the situation to them. With your status, you should be able to make them list to you and take appropriate action.
"I don't know how good your relationship with the church is, but I have heard that you are their saintess. With your guarantee, the authority will take care of this problem on your behalf.
"At the same time, they might ev do a bit more, like calming the villagers and other things, so that they can make themselves look good in your eyes.
"This is a win-win situation. Don't you think so?"
Sera fell into deep thought. She couldn't dy this would probably be the best decision in this situation.
Ev she had ordered the angel and the fall angel to kill if necessary. If she was a normal saintess, she would probably be too naive and believe they should have be released.
But Sera thought there should be a punishmt for their action. What if the ones who got harmed wer't her and Nathan?
They might lose their lives or, ev worse, be sold to a faraway land.
Ev though they hadn't tortured, she believed she should take Nathan's suggestion.
"Alright. Let's do that." Sera nodded. "Let me tie them up first so that they won't be a problem anymore."
"Sure."
Brunhild was completely speechless. She finally understood why Nidhogg said Nathan could make Frir suffer. It wasn't because he was his summoner. It was because of his personality and method.
Brunhild looked at Nathan mysteriously as if she were planning something.
On the other hand, Nathan observed Sera from a distance. Although he could help her, he preferred to get some time alone, thinking about what he should do next, especially after Sera brought him to the ancit library.
Wh he observed her, there was a thought that actually shocked him. 'Wait a minute. Since she is an illusion that will soon disappear, Brunhild will also disappear. There are simply too many questions that I want to ask…
'For example, why does she wear such tight and sexy nun clothes?' Nathan's expression turned serious, his eyes were staring at the exposed thighs.
