“Oh, yes, yes! That’s right. We have serious injuries, so you’ll have to hurry.”

“Okay, I’ll be right out.”

He quickly packed up his clothes and said, giving the answer.

“Riddel, I’m sorry, but we need to wrap up here. Oh, or do you want to come with me? It’ll take a while for Kyle to get out of the prayer room.”

I nodded my head.

Anyway, there was nothing else to do while Kyle came out of the prayer room. Better accompany him than staying still.

‘If there’s anything I can do to help, I’d better help.’

I moved quickly with Geppel.

***

Since ancient times in the Arnold Empire, the knights of each region regularly defeated monsters for the safety of citizens.

This time was no exception.

The Arcane’s Knights, members of the temple, went out to the area where monsters appeared and destroyed them.

‘How should I say this?’

The south was the area where monsters were the weakest. Knights who got hurt could be counted on a single hand. For some reason, things were a little different this time.

It was said that the Knights had a hard time at the moment due to the large number of rare monsters appearing in the woods.

Thanks to this, the number of injured people had doubled.

“… Everyone is currently undergoing treatment in the examination room behind the temple.”

The new priest who came to report to Geppel led him to the examination room and explained the situation. Geppel asked him with a serious face.

“How many people are injured?”

“There are 53 casualties and 9 serious injuries. Among the injured, we’ve separated those who were beyond our control.” The priest spoke as calmly as he could, but he couldn’t hide his sorrow.

Perhaps the number of injured people was higher than expected.

Geppel, bewildered, quickly added.

“What kind of monster has appeared to injure so many people?”

“… Dullahan and Wyvern are swarming in groups.”

“What? A group of Dullahan and Wyvern came together? Their habitats are in the west. They are not the kind of monsters that would come out here in the first place.”

“I don’t understand why that’s the case, even the knights don’t know why they are here.”

“Have you sent the investigation team?”

“Yes, Mr. Lantes has instructed us to send an investigation team. We’ll be on our way soon.”

“Okay, I got it. Then I won’t be bothered about you.”

Conversation were hard and to the point in this somewhat sedentary atmosphere.

The four men, including Sejan, hurried their steps, and soon we all reached the rear of the temple.

“… Ugh.”

“Ah…”

As I entered the large building, painful groans came in from all over the place; a truly chaotic examination room. The priests were already heavily deployed to treat the wounded throughout the place.

Nearby, I could see Lantes running around.

“Here you are, Mr. Geppel. Your Highness and personal knight, thank you very much for coming this way with him.”

He quickly greeted us a quick node when he found Geppel, Sejan and I, who had followed silently.

The other priests, working diligently on their patient, waved in the same way indicating they didn’t need Geppel.

“That’s enough… Where are the serious cases?”

“It’s the isolation room on the right.”

“Okay, you are in charge here. I’ll go there now.”

“Yes, sir.”

Geppel, who started walking at the same beat as Lantes’ answer, paused as if he had thought of something.

Geppel turned to me right away and warned me.

“Riddel, you’d better not follow me from here on out. It may be hard to see those serious injuries.”

The warning was obviously consideration for me.

‘However…’

I shook my head.

“It’s okay. I’ll follow you.”

“What a strange thing.”

Unlike his pungent words, Geppel’s tone felt warm.

After this short notice, I hurried my steps, and followed Geppel and Sejan headed to the isolation room.

Once we reached the room, I couldn’t bear to take my eyes off the serious situation. It wasn’t because the treatment facilities were not good.

‘The Arcane Temple is so through in means of sanitary hygiene that it can be called the best treatment institution on the continent.’

What I couldn’t even believe was that the condition of the knights; it was indescribable.

The isolation room was full of bloody knights. Some of them fainted with their eyes turned upside down, while others had their bones showing through theirs wounds. The terrible screams, barks and people falling was a mix of noises, each louder than the other.

It was not enough even though the priests were constantly healing and healing, there was always someone in need of healing.

‘I’ve been prepared to some extent, but I didn’t expect this.’

The priests, who were busy treating the injuries with pale faces, quickly found Geppel and regained some colors.

“Mr. Geppel, here you are!”

“Oh, yeah. You’re all doing great. Then I’ll take over this place from now on, so let’s go to the treatment room except for the three people in front of me.”

As soon as Geppel pointed out the three priests, the rest of them bowed to Geppel and me and left the treatment room all in unison. I knew he didn’t like being slow down, of course, the situation was urgent.

When the situation was settled, Geppel looked around and told the remaining priests. “From now on, I’m going to use wide-area power, so you guys take a look at the status of the knights.”

As soon as Geppel finished speaking, the faithful responded vigorously. “Yes!” They all looked alert.

Standing in the middle of the isolation room, Geppel stretched his arms out into the air.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The strong lighted credibility encircled the Geppel in a round semicircle, and it began to grow, flowing out of his body.

Finally, the divine power spread to the knights around.

‘Okay, power in a wide-area to heal everyone at the same time.’

It was an ability that no one could have imitate as the person who use such power needed a tremendous durability.

‘No, no, no one can imitate this.’

It was Geppel’s unique ability, one that could only be seen once in a millennium. Soon after, when the divine power reached everyone. The knights’ wounds were completely healed.

My mouth opened wide at the unbelievable sight. Right after the treatment, the appearance of the knights varied. Twinkling eyes, gentle movement, serene faces, carefree smiles.

“Mr. Geppel, thank you.”

“As expected, Mr. Geppel!”

“Hooray, Mr. Geppel!”

Already energized, several knights were shouting loudly creating a festive mood.

However, Geppel pouted as if he didn’t like the roughness of the knights.

“Whatever you have been doing, why are you doing it, why do you have to do it, why the hell are you guys hurting me so much that I’m losing all my energy? As I always say, I’m only dealing with emergencies. If you want to get better, you need to rest for a month or two, so forget about the training for a while. Do you understand?”

Undeterred, the knights looked actually touched by the tsundere nagging of the High Priest.

Geppel, who had been huffing at the knights for a while, glanced toward me.

“Have you seen the greatness of this body. And you acquainted with someone like this. “

What did he say?

‘Stop bragging for only doing your job…’

I smiled instead of answering. Keeping my mouth in check. Geppel shrugged, thinking it was a positive.

‘Should I assume that all the handsome guys in the world have weird personalities?’

At this point, it seemed to be a reasonable doubt.

Once the work was finished, Geppel looked at the priests and asked.

“So, there’s no more serious injuries?”

The interpretation was clear, he was wondering if he could go back to play hooky.

Until just now, the faces of the priests, who had been shining brightly like light bulbs, became dark and darker. What happened?

The knights were also suddenly quiet and somehow depressed.

“I…”

The priest’s words blurred at the beginning of his sentence. Geppel stared violently at the priest.

‘I mean don’t hesitate to say it because it’s annoying.’

The surprised priest opened his mouth again and quickly said.

“In fact, there’s still one more person left…”

“What? Where is it? Get me there right away.”

“Oh, right away !”

The priest, who was overwhelmed by Geppel’s energy, began to provide guidance without delay, and we arrived in a small room just a short distance from the treatment room.

And…

“…”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Geppel, the priest, Sejan and I. There was a silence among us four.

I sat half up on the bed and looked at the white-haired knight looking out the window. The knight had bandaged around his arms, and sadly, they were all cut off.

The knight turned around as he felt our presence.

“Oh, Mr. Geppel is here. But, hum…

“…Riddel Spencer. Archduchess from the northern Romani Great Duchy. The man next to him is Sejan, the captain of the Romani Knights, personal escorts to her Archduchess.”

His voice cracked.

“Oh! It’s an honor to meet you.”

The knight tried to get out of his seat without a sound.

“Okay, don’t get up. The patient can only be.”

Geppel interrupted his action, and there was a heavy silence again.

Geppel, who had been shocked for quite a long time, opened his mouth with difficulty.

“…Taylor, how the hell did this happen?”

‘If it’s Taylor, it’s obvious.’

Taylor was originally the head of the Arcane as Knights.

‘Although he resigned as the leader because of his age.’

Considering the Taylor’s reputation, even considering he wasn’t active, he wasn’t a person to get hurt easily.
