Intertwine (RE4: Leon Kennedy x Reader) [Leon POV] [Book#1] [COMPLETE]

Chapter Sixteen: Platinum and Gold

(Merchant)- " Thank you." 

A thought came to head, How the hell does this merchant get around? How is he ahead of us? 

I'll just put that thought to the side in the meantime.

The area of the village has changed, its not even a village anymore-- it becoming more like Castlevania. The villagers here have changed to cultists. They seem empty minded....they pace around mumbling "To die is to live." These seem more resilient, kicks don't seem to bring them down-- I resorted to an advanced suplex. 

What's impractical is the usage of the door to get through, it required a cannon to destroy the front entrance to get further into the castle. Could've found some other way around but with the flaming large catapult rocks they were throwing-- I couldn't risk the girls being out in the open. 

(Merchant)-" Is that all stranger?" 

(Leon)-"Yes, thank you." 

(Merchant)- "Come back any time." he closes his coat and stands idly by. 

I put away my new bought items and opened the door to get inside, the girls head in first and I after. It's warm as soon as I shut the door. 

(Y/n)-"Hmm." She mumbles hugging herself, embracing the warmth. 

My radio created static, my hand quickly retrieves it from my waist. 

(Hunnigan)- " Leon. Where's your current location?" 

(Leon)- "We decided to lay low in a castle but it looks like it was a bad move." 

(Hunnigan)- "Meaning?" 

(Leon)-" Well it appears that this castle's also connected with the Los Illuminados. They must not get many visitors here cause they're giving me one hell of a welcome." 

(Hunnigan)- "Sounds bad. I have an idea Leon. I need you to--" her image becomes black and white static.

(Leon)- "What? Repeat Hunnigan." 

Nothing.

(Leon)-"Great. Just my luck." 

I put away the radio adjusting my harness after. I must be out of range or something jacking up the line-- whatever it is I'll find out soon enough. Unless Hunnigan is able to somehow manage to get it settled. I still need to move forward, Ashley still following (Y/n) around careful not to bump into her. They walk to the end of the room eyeing a sword propped up on the wall giving it a tacky finish. I walk up behind them giving it look myself. 

(Y/n)-" Thinking what I'm thinking?" 

(Leon)-" This looks outdated?" 

(Y/n)-" Philistine, much?" 

(Leon)-"Don't care much about art but I have nothing against it." I take a closer look on the mounted sword.  It's a platinum sword looked out of place, why is it in a gold plate?
