Chapter 539 - The Path She Took 3 (2/2)

In addition, priests and paladins near Jackson were mobilized to prevent the further spread of the disease.

It was a sign that that Empire viewed it as a huge disaster.

‘She… She should have asked me for help if things were this bad!’

Although he was grumbling to himself, Luke wasn’t stupid enough to not know why Reina had to do that.

She knew that the Symphonia Kingdom was at war with the Baroque Empire, so she couldn’t get herself to ask for help.

“But, Your Majesty, is this the entire party?”

Luke’s party was a lot less than Luther imagined.

There weren’t any huge men, or his escorts too weren’t that huge in number.

And Hwang Bo-sung, who was the commander of the Guard Knights, Luther knew well about his skills, yet the small number made him feel nervous.

“More will come. We decided to join with them near Jackson.”

“Is that so?”

“Rather than that, is the guide, who I asked for, ready?”

Before moving through the long-distance teleport gate, Luke asked the Holy Palace to provide him with a guide to Jackson.

Jackson was never a place he had been to or heard about.

As a result, he was unable to move with teleport magic, so he intended to fly from Bless to Jackson as fast as possible instead.

To do that, someone who knew the place well was essential.

“I will guide you.”

“You will? Then what about the Holy Palace?”

At the end of priest Luther’s words, Luke was a bit shocked.

“I already asked for a trustworthy priest, and the Jackson region is something I am well aware of as I was there during my younger days.”

At that time, the faces of people to whom he handed out food and help came to Luther’s mind, which made him look bitter.

“Then, I feel relieved. Is it fine if we leave right away?”

In response to Luke who was in a hurry, Luther nodded his head.

“Yes, Your Majesty. I knew you would ask that and prepared myself in advance.”

Luther pointed back to the small backpack he had on his back.

It looked like the bag had a change of clothes and some extra food.

Luke, who seemed glad at his preparation, spoke to his men, “First, we leave Bless. From there, we will fly to Jackson.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The Guards and Hwang Bo-sung replied in unison.

After a while, Luke who began to use magic flew to the sky with Luther and his attendants.
