Sword Pilgrim

Chapter 199

Episode 199

“Smell! Serena. Let’s eat here!”

Philomatur, snoring, pointed to a restaurant and said.

At a glance, it looked like a high-end restaurant, looking at the well-polished glass, luxurious signboards, and guards.

It seemed to be a building frequented by ladies with parasols and men from aristocratic families dressed in fancy suits.

“Is this place good?”

“My excellent sense of smell is telling. How is Puppy? Does your nose say that too?”

“yes. It smells great. How about Aldu?”

“Chuckling meat is always welcome!”

Unlike in the North, in Kaladi they were relaxing to their heart’s content. So they were running around and enjoying the tour.

“Oh, isn’t that Obar or not?”

“Right. What is he doing over there?”

“Tsk. Maybe it’s because they’re only good at fighting, but I don’t notice them. What if it’s not a date? You have to know when you see it!”

It was made of glass, so I could see inside the building, and Ovarna and a white-haired man were happily eating there.

“It’s none of my business.”

“You look happy, so I think we can have a quiet meal and go out.”

Philo spoke casually, and Puppy nodded in reply.

“uh? over there Aren’t the saints and Kalis?”

“Right. Callis is also dressed in a suit, so I guess you wouldn’t know! Not much like a dwarf, but very handsome.”

“What are you talking about? Dwarves look like they were once trodden on by a giant, don’t they?”

“To be trampled on by a giant! How dare you say such harsh words to my face!”

“Kyahahaha! Isn’t that right! cancer! By the way! Kyahaha!”

Aldu is startled by the sharp pack width, and Philo laughs and complains.

It’s making a lot of noise, so a guard comes over and shakes his hand and gives a congratulatory order.

“You shouldn’t be like this here.”

“We are guests too. Go in now.”

“Shall we go in?”

However, the guards block them.

Soon after, he looked up and down once and spread his hand as if telling him to stop.

“what? We have enough money too!”

“This is a place where only those with a noble title can enter.”

“I’m also a noble in my country, right?”

Philo was the chief of the tribe.

If you were a noble, you were a noble.

within the tribe.

“Show proof.”

“Hey, I have to show you this again.”

Philo reached into his pants and pulled out something.

“This is the rainbow scale that was only given to tribal chiefs in the past. The scales bestowed by the old Dragon God… Why are you pushing them!”

“There is no proof of that. I’m sorry, but please go back.”

“Okay.”

“Don’t make any fuss. Callis seems to have something important to say, so let’s go eat somewhere else.”

“Sheesh.”

“I see. Because it’s not just a restaurant. Let’s go.”

Aldu proposes and Philo clicks his tongue.

While wearing a helmet, Puppy pours out gentle words and turns to another place.

However, Serena stood there for a long time, staring at Colius before disappearing.

* * *

“Mmm.”

“Why is that?”

“No, nothing.”

Seeing the delicacies lined up on the table, Callius raised his knife.

His eyes were fixed only on the food. Although flowers were in both hands, Colius was very uncomfortable with the situation.

‘If you think about it, it’s natural.’

Since two saints from enemy countries are having a meal together, it is only natural that there will be a strange battle of nerves.

Colliers decided to give up the idea.

And focus on food.

“It tastes good.”

“Yes. The quality of the meat and the sauce are excellent. The spices and salad that accompany it catch the smell and greasiness of the meat. The chef’s skills are very good.”

Ailee also expresses a decent sentiment by popping a lamb rib steak into her mouth.

“It fits my mouth well. However, the fork is a little uncomfortable. Oh, it’s not because of the ring on his hand…”

“…”

A fork in his left hand. Esther, holding a knife in her right hand, blatantly displays a red ring on her left ring finger.

A ruby of Hetia given by Colius.

‘Why did you put that on your ring finger?’

Unlike Colliers, who thought about it for a while but decided not to care.

Ailee’s eyes narrowed.

“It is a beautiful ring. I remember that it was also in Count Zervan’s hand… is that correct?”

“Ah yes. I’m leaving a long way… The Count handed me this.”

It was a word that contained many words.

Esther never said it, but I automatically thought of it as a token handed over between long-distance lovers.

“okay.”

Ailee’s eyes are sharp as she sneaks up on Colius. It was as if he was blaming me for giving me that kind of thing.

However, Carlyas only questioned silently with eyes as if he was wondering what was going on.

“count.”

“Something. Ailee.”

“Should Emily have left by now? I don’t know if that kid left for the North alone, but I don’t know if he made it hard for no reason.”

“It’s a bit of a worry. Schniff is every person who can run a thousand miles in an instant. A distance that would take a month or two would be three days.”

It’s not even that dangerous.

Esther, who narrowed her eyes, subtly reflected in Callius’ wine glass as he answered and cut the meat.

Colliers decided to ignore it.

“You seem to know Emily well.”

“yes. We’ve become friends a little lately. Originally, there were many similar corners, so I had no choice but to get close quickly. As if it was connected to something invisible.”

Ailee’s expression and tone seemed to imply something subtly.

Seeing the gesture of shaking the wine glass he is holding, it reminds me of blood.

Esther naturally felt uncomfortable.

“okay.”

Emily and Ailee.

The story of the two is one of the rumors that quickly spread in Kaladi.

both faces are the same

The names are similar. Looking at the two of them, they say that they are kind and beautiful like a mother and daughter.

The reason why the magnates are busy talking about the relationship between Colius and Ailee.

Esther also knew right away.

“Come to think of it, there are stories circulating that the saintess and Emily are like mother and daughter because their faces and names are similar. It was an absurd rumor, so I laughed it off when I heard it. The sword of Carpe and the saintess of the empire are a married couple. Even a passing dog won’t believe it.”

“….”

Unlike Esther, who smiled and said something absurd, Ailee’s expression was something meaningful.

The smile disappeared from Esther’s face at once.

“What are you two doing…?”

Then Ailee looked at Colius and didn’t answer.

As if he wants an answer.

But Colliers didn’t answer.

I am only interested in new dishes.

“What is this?”

“Our chef said that precious people had come and would like us to evaluate the new menu… Of course, we do not charge for cooking.”

“Hoo.”

Ailee and Esther’s eyes grew cold at Colius’ exclamation.

When they were talking to them, they had a dull expression the whole time, but when a dish was served, they would pour out such admiration.

“Excellent. Is it the liver of a goose?”

“You got it right.”

The goose’s liver was coated with flour, and it felt like eating bread and liver together.

In addition to that, the chef’s special sauce seeps into the bread and liver, leaving no fishy smell and a refreshing, light savory taste on the tongue.

“I like it. name is?”

“This is Bruggra.”

“Good.”

The chef’s skill is very good.

To the extent that I want to recruit.

“count.”

“what?”

“You haven’t answered me yet.”

“You’re asking useless things. Does it matter?”

“It is important to me.”

“Why?”

“Because I can’t leave a noble who is in liaison with the saint of the empire.”

“…I guess so.”

inner pain. Even Colleas couldn’t ignore those words. Soon he split the brugras in half with a knife.

Colleas, who had been sparing little by little, tried to split it in half and share it, but he didn’t.

He answered while looking at Ailee with the Brugras split in half.

“It’s just a winner-loser relationship.”

Soon, Esther’s face turned bright.

It was no different from saying that he was just a prisoner of the enemy country.

But Ailee’s face was a little different, blushing.

why? The moment you think

“It’s a moonlit night.”

Esther’s expression crumpled at Ailee’s chatter.

night. winners and losers.

Because there was no way that the grown-up wife that it was linked to wouldn’t know.

“this person…! nasty…!!”

“The sword saintess seems to have a pretty rich imagination. It turns red and blue by itself, and your face is colorful.”

“How can someone called a saint!!”

“Oh, what the hell are you thinking that you would say something like that? You must have had a crazy imagination.”

bang!

He hit the table with his fist.

The table, split exactly in half, collapsed and spilled the food.

“ah.”

Callius froze, holding utensils in each hand.

“Are you insulting the sword saint like that in Carpe?”

“well. Why is that an insult? saintess. Don’t be ashamed to be imaginative. It’s just a natural instinct.”

“You insult me to the end.”

Whirik. Took.

Esther threw the knife in her hand at Ailee’s feet.

“Pick it up.”

“It seems that at Carpe, they apply for a duel like this.”

“yes. If you catch the knife I threw, you and I will have a fair duel in the eyes of the gods.”

“It’s good. Shall we go right away?”

“great.”

The eyes of Callius, who was staring devastatedly at the dishes poured out by the girls, shone terribly cold.

“…count?”

“Callius. Why are you like that? If it’s for food, I’ll buy it.”

“Oh, you ruined your meal. sorry.”

Even as the two women apologized, Callius’ expression did not change.

Rather, the forehead narrowed as if it had been hollowed out, and the heavy pressure flowing from the body began to cover the entire area.

I wondered if I could go this far just because I couldn’t eat a little.

But he was sincere.

Esther, who saw the eyes that seemed to be bursting with life, hurriedly called the waitress.

“Could you make that brugras again? I will pay the price.”

“Ah, that’s… It was made as a test piece, so there are no ingredients left.”

Callius’ eyes begin to narrow.

Whoa-!

Esther and Ailee sweat profusely as life blooms more intensely.

The moment he tried to call the chef, wondering if he was more serious about food than he thought.

Unexpected words came out of his mouth.

“I feel the energy of corruption.”

What he is looking at is not the dish that has fallen on the ground, but the bottom even more than that.

Abyssal Labyrinth.

A tomb in Kaladi’s basement.

It was the catacombs of Beria.
