Chapter 243 - Saint Louis and Saintess Angela (1/2)
[Inside the country of holy palace]
[Saint Louis point of view]
”Tchh! Stupid saint, making us work hard. Stay here until we get the permission!” [Guard]
”Thank you. I'll appreciate all your hard work” [Saint Louis]
Getting a kind reply throw the guard off, and since he didn't know what to say, he just quickly sent a message to the holy palace about my sudden unexpected arrival
(From the looks of it, the magician that guard the dungeon entrance couldn't detect Alaric nor Linda, but...) [Saint Louis]
Linda drew her power from the limbo of life and death as the minion of god of death, so it is highly unlikely for anyone to detect her if she keeps hiding her presence, in fact, almost impossible but as for Alaric, he's just a mortal like us, so sooner or later, they will detect him
(Alaric, listen to me) [Saint Louis]
(What is it, O saint) [Alaric]
(I'll tell you about an inn and the secret password that we use on the inn, so as soon as everything is clear, please proceed there. Linda and I will take care of the rest) [Saint Louis]
(Understood) [Alaric]
I tell him about the Faris and Faizi inn. That inn is actually operated by us from the new religion. Serve as an inn to other, it main purposes however come as an insider to provide us with all the latest information regarding the country. That, as well as serving as information brokers to our allies. The two of them are actually my neighbor before the false drafting to chain the holy beast of wind, Rampaging Garuda. Since I come here under the pretext of official visit, it is highly unlikely that I'll get to meet them as the holy palace will surely prepare a room to monitor my every movement. Plus, I don't want them to get suspicious of the inn, so sad as it might be, I should not visit the inn for the entirety of my journey here
(They sure are late) [Linda]
Linda, who muster her courage just now, floats around near the vicinity of the magician and various guard. She even swings her scythe in front of them, but alas, there are no reaction. I guess this literally what the ancient text referred to as when they say death is always just beside us. As she comes back to us, even she herself freeze for a moment, and that's because
(Agnes can feel our presence, luckily she isn't inside the country right now, so don't get careless, dear lesser lady of holy death) [?]
~Gulp~
Another minion of God of Death. Stay calm. I don't want them to get suspicious. That mysterious minion of God of Death suddenly vanish before our eyes
(Linda... who, no, what is that?) [Alaric]
(That is... Thanatos...) [Linda]
(The Thanatos that strike fear in Malsia not so long ago?) [Saint Louis]
(I guess it is the very same Thanatos) [Linda]
I see. Is it safe to presume that other Minion of God of Death are also inside the country? If so, Linda and Ash will be the key for us to communicate with them.
(Alaric) [Saint Louis]
(I know, I'll tell Ash about it) [Alaric]
(Thank you) [Saint Louis]
”Here's the carriage! Move quickly O Saint!” [Guard]
”It's a wonderful carriage, thank you” [Saint Louis]
”!!” [Guard]
The guard once again, can't find a proper word for a reply. This isn't the official carriage of the holy palace, that is for sure. If anything, it awful design is intentional as to embarrass me. No worries, as I can do this!
”What are you doing!?” [Guard]
