The Priest's Salvation // Trash Of The Count's Family

047

— Escapee

    As Cale was at the Alchemists tower Adileo was bedridden by Eruhaben.

He couldn't escape as Eruhaben had politely asked—begged the Dragon Lord to watch him.

The Dragon Lord agreed.

She had agreed after Raon used his puppy eyes.

So Adileo was left inside this Castle with the Dragon Lord—as for the rest of the group Adileo had idea where they were.

Eruhaben had gone somewhere—not before giving Adileo a sharp warning. "Don't move from that bed."

Adileo guessed they were preparing one of Cale’s big plans.

The night prior Adileo had gotten a brief on what was happening from Raon and the three little kids what was going to happen.

Raon also mention new people he had never met like Rosalyn, Lock, and some others.

But that didn't intrest him much.

Adileo was still stuck on bed so it didn't matter what he had been told the night before.

Adileo's healing ability had healed his wound—not completely—but to some extent to where it wad far from being healed completely.

He was also no longer bedridden.

Well besides Eruhaben’s order.

After Adileo had woken up the Eruhaben had escorted—kidnapped a doctor to check his condition and then Cale threatened him to keep his mouth shut after Adileo was labeled as fine.

It wad the first time he had seen Cale like that.

It was fun.

But at the moment Adileo was bored.

He was stuck inside the castle in this bed listening to the ancient beings rants inside his head and behing watched by an old dead dragon.

he had tried to sneak out but each time the Dragon Lord would appear and stare at him until he got inside the bed.

Not to mention she'd tell him that she would tell Eruhaben and Cale when they got back.

It was a burden really.

But at least he had some sweet beacrox left behind.

Adileo stared at the ceiling with nothing much to do besides being jealous that Cale and Raon were out looting people.

Before he could get another idea about escaping the Dragon Lord Sheritt laughed beside him.

She made her presence known.

Adileo: ...
...

Meanwhile with Cale:

Cale walked through the narrow forest path and slowly got closer and closer to the Southern Alchemists’ Tower.

“It’s been a while since you last visited, hasn’t it?”

The Alchemists guiding them tried to make small talk with Plavin.

“It has. I haven’t been here in two weeks. Ahem, the tower looks as magnificent as usual.”

As guild leader Plavin mentioned, Cale started to frown as they got closer to the Southern Alchemists’ Tower.

His face wasn’t visible because it was covered by a mask, but he had a big frown as he looked around the Southern Alchemists’ Tower.

– Human! The Southern Alchemists’ Tower seems to be very wealthy! It’s so dazzling! Wow! Is that gold over there?

Unlike the Alchemists’ Bell Tower in the capital, the Southern Alchemists’ Tower had a large sculpture in front of it.

‘…It really is made of gold.’

The shining sculpture was in the form of a person wearing an alchemist robe and holding a staff in one hand and alchemy tools in the other.

– Wow! Human! Isn’t the staff in that sculpture’s hand made of diamond? It’s shining so much!

‘Huuuuu.’

Cale let out a low breath as the Alchemist started to speak.

“Haha, this is all thanks to your help, guild leader-nim. You even made over one-tenth of that sculpture over there.”

“Hohohoho, ahem, was that the case?”

The merchant guild leader stealthily peeked behind him toward Cale.

‘What are you looking at?’

Plavin quickly looked forward again after getting that message from Cale’s sharp gaze.

‘Damn it!’

Plavin could feel annoyance and anger in Cale’s eyes.

“We really have to thank you! We are well-off as we prepare for the future thanks to your help.”

‘Shut the f*ck up!’

Plavin wanted to cover the Alchemist’s mouth. He felt as if he could feel the anger of the man from the Sun God faction standing behind him.

“Our Tower Master-nim is extremely grateful that you happily agreed to send over everything we need for this operation as well.”

“Hohoho, is that so?”

‘Damn it! Shut the f*ck up!’

Plavin was laughing on the outside but crying on the inside. The Alchemist looked around before getting closer to Plavin and whispering to him.

“Once we gain control of everything in the capital, you will gain more money than you spent on us, as well as power and fame.”

‘…If you’re going to whisper, do it so that the person behind me can’t hear it!’

Plavin wanted to cry because the Alchemist was speaking quietly but it was still loud enough for the man from the Sun God faction to hear it.

“Is that so? That is great news.”

However, he made it seem as if he was happy on the outside.
