Chapter 675: 675 \nAfter consulting with my father, I decided to tell Mr. Garth that I was being targeted by the church.\n
It felt cowardly to remain silent.
Maybe we canât go to the Okanko Village together, but itâs up to Garth and the others.
So, is Mr. Ivy going to church, too?
Mr. Garth looks at me and my father with a steep expression.
When he nodded, he gave an indescribable expression.
You might think itâs more frightening when two people are targeted by the church together than when theyâre alone.
After all, itâs impossible to go to the Okanko Village with me.
âEvas, Arus, what do you two want to do?I want to go to Okanko Village with Druid and the others. â
What, are you okay?
Looking at Mr. Garth, he smiled as if he had noticed my gaze.
âThatâs why I donât want to distance myself from the two of you.â
âI donât think itâs something I can clean upâŚâ
Mr. Garth is a strong man, isnât he?
Thank you very much.
âI want to travel with you.âI donât want to be disturbed by people in the church. â
Evas nodded to Arthurâs words.
âI feel the same way as Ars.âUntil now, theyâve had to put up with a lot of things.I donât want to be disturbed by Mr. Druid and the others who know about our situation. â
After seeing Evas and Arthur, Garth turned to his father.
Okay, then letâs go to the Okanko Village together.
I was relieved to see Mr. Garth laughing happily at your fatherâs words.\n
It is sad that the relationship is broken up because of me.
âArus, I need to ask you something.â
Itâs about the key, isnât it?
In your fatherâs words, Mr. Ars with a strange expression.
âOh, you know what?Have you heard anything from the astrologer who let Arthur go? â
âFrom the astrologer Heera, there is something that the church people are looking for.I have only heard that it affects the world.But when the church caught me and locked me in a dark room, I heard men and women talking. â
I canât believe itâs a dark room.
You must have been scared.
âA man with a clenched voice said, âAlmost there, the key escapedâ, and a woman said, âI see.âBut how did he escape?âI donât know. But weâll find them soon enough.Everyone in Kingâs Landing is looking for you.Itâs only a matter of time. âThe conversation was still going on, but the two of them left the room, so I couldnât hear much more. â
Did you hear clearly that he escaped?
Arus nods to his fatherâs confirmation.
Yes.
If I could talk to the man who ran away, would I know what the key means?
âHave you ever told that story to anyone?â
Mr. Arth shook his head at your fatherâs words.
âI see. Is it all right to talk about Ur or Ginar? The organization they belong to is constantly watching the church, so itâs possible that they know something.Well, I overlooked Arthurâs escape from the church, so I donât think he knows everything. â
âItâs okay, just tell me if you know what happened to the person who ran away.â
âOkay. JustâŚâ
Mr. Arth nodded to his dad, who was speechless.
âAny result is fine. Actually⌠the guards and others left the church to look for him.Thanks to this, the astrologer, Hera, came to me, and I was able to escape from a dark room.Thatâs why I want to know. â \nLike Mr. Ull said, there was a reason I could get away with this.
So, all the church officials were borrowed to find the escaped man, right?
That means⌠thatâs all that matters, right?
âOkay, Iâll let you know.â
Please.
Father nodded to Mr. Arthurâs serious expression.
I wish the people who escaped were alive.
A key that is important enough to ignore the guards.
Like your father said, is it related to the magic circle?
Besides, where is that place?
Could it be where the fortune-teller said, âI want you to go?â
I hope itâs different⌠but I was forced to sign a contract with the church.
How far did the fortune-teller know?
Itâs possible that I knew it was the key the church was looking for.
âIvy, Ivy?â
Huh?
When I was called by my name, my father and Garth looked at me.
Oh, I was in the middle of a discussion.
âIâm sorry, I didnât hear you.Um, what were you talking about? â
When I saw your father, I saw a slightly worried color.
\nEvas-sanâs expression is drawn.
Ten hours sounded like a shock to me.
But sometimes, when a storm strikes, we walk for more than 10 hours.
Therefore, it is better to get used to it for about 10 hours.
Thatâs right. You want to build up your strength, donât you?
Mr. Evas nods to his fatherâs words.
âIf you donât like 10 hours.â You can walk five hours early, even without a break. â
In response to your fatherâs suggestion, Mr. Garth and the others began to discuss it with a serious expression.
Iâm a little laughing at the sight.
Maybe itâs hard for the three of us who donât have the strength to choose between them.
âFather, which is more difficult?â
Ask your father in a small voice.
Yeah, maybe ten hours would be tougher for the three of us.
Thatâs right.
Um, five hours of early walking.
Father nodded to Mr. Garthâs words.
Alright, letâs start building our strength after lunch.
Got it.
Father smiles bitterly as Mr. Garth nods as if he were ready.
Iâm a little anxious, but tomorrow Iâm going to exercise in the woods.
