Chapter 143 To kill an emperor 5 (2/2)
”hmm..? yeah I have”
”sweet can you show me the way to the temple then?”
”sure, but after we get our pay”
”of course”
the process of getting into Central was surprisingly swift and soon the convoy passed though one of the many gates and steeped into the streets of Central, the group of mercenaries each got a piece of paper from the convoy leader and headed towards the guild to get paid Mars of cause followed after them and soon the group arrived at the local guild, it of course was way bigger then what Mars was used to but he quickly got over it and lined up and waited for his turn to talk with the receptionist, soon it was his turn
”what can I help you with?”
Mars handed over the slip of paper
”I completed a request”
”just one moment...”
the receptionist left the counter and walked into the backroom
'that reminds me I forgot to get my reward in Forset....'
soon the receptionist returned carrying a small brown leather sack witch she put on the counter
”please count the reward”
”no need”
Mars directly took the leather sack turned and walked over to the entrance of the guild were he stood and waited for Mary to show up which she soon did
”hey”
”hey mister Shady, you ready to head to the temple?”
”sure let's go”
Mars followed after Mary into the bustling city, the steers was filled with people, mostly humans but also beastmen and some demons
”give me your hand your hand....”
Mary whispered something to Mars which even with his super hearing barely heard
”hmm..? what's up?”
Mary's face lit up and for sometime she just stood there and looked at his feet before finally she mustered courage to repeat herself in a higher volume
”give me your hand.... so you don't get lost...”
Mars gave a grin under the bandages it seemed like the poorly made excuse was an attempt by Mary to change their current relationship
”sure”
Mars grabbed Mary's hand which resulted in her face getting even more red as she mumbled
”there... now won't get lost...”
Mary let the way to the temple which was about 15 minutes away on foot, Mary stopped outside the temple and seemed reluctant to head inside
”let's go in”
”....okay”
Mars half dragged Mary into the temple and walked up to a counter were a priest like person stood behind, the priest gave a frown when he saw Mars, but Mars ignored this and pulled out his necklace of the apostle
”I would like a prayer room, the higher quality the better”
the priest's frown eased a little when he saw the necklace of the apostle but he still kept a dignified expression
”certainly”
the priest lead the way deep into the temple, Mary remained silent and let Mars drag her behind him, soon they reached a door were the priest gestured to before he turned and left
”let's go inside”
”....okay, I have to check my job anyways”
Mars opened the door and walked into the prayer room and gave a nod, it certainly was the most impressive prayer room he had ever been to, Mars turned to Mary and said
”ladies first”
”okay, thanks Mars”
Mary walked up to the crystal orb and put her hand on it before she gently closed her eyes as a soft hum spread over the room, about a minute later she opened her eyes again and turned to Mars with a sweet smile on her face
”I'm done”
”okay then let's have you meet her”
Mary tilted her head slightly and asked
”her?”
Mars gave a grin
”Info”
