Chapter 263 - Episode Ten

I restrained Ruin, the Noir sorcerer, who was in a state of unconsciousness, with a rope created by earth magic, and then went to treat Peter’s group.

Peter seemed to be confused at first, and when I approached him for treatment, he held his ear protectively and said, “I can’t end up here yet!” and he went crazy, punched a right straight into my face, and got on the horse, Mea stabbed Peter in the back with a wood carving knife that was in the carriage, but he somehow survived and is now completely calm.

The part of the body where he was stabbed was critical, and if Peter hadn’t been using artificial organs, he could have died immediately, but he is much healthier now.

He was rather quiet, so it was easy to treat him.

If anything, the psychological damage to Mea, who was probably the first person in her life to deliberately stick a knife into someone, was greater.

Mea was sweating for a while, her hand trembling as she held the knife, but when I stroked her back, she seemed to have calmed down somehow, and now she was lying down in the carriage resting.

At first, I tried to leave the dying Peter behind for the moment and stay with Mea, but she replied, “I’m very happy for your feelings, but Mea is just a little sick, so please look after the others first ……”

After the other members of Peter’s staff had been treated, I turned to face him, rubbing my cheek, which was slightly swollen from being hit head-on.

“The treatment is complete. But since many of you had bone and organ damage …… it would be better to have the materials properly prepared and replaced again, rather than a substitute that has been falsely adapted by magic. You will not be able to move around as before until your body adjusts to it, and you will need to rest for a while…… Peter-san’s injury was minor, so your probably not as bad off as others, though ……”

“I-I see, …… I, I’ve given you a lot of trouble ……”

Peter was repeatedly stretching and opening and closing his fist, as if he was questioning the condition of his arm.

It may be that his arm is not moving very well.

One of his subordinates saw Peter’s condition and quietly took Peter’s arm.

“Something’s wrong. The bones in my arm should have been completely separated ……”

“The stake also seemed to have been carved with an irreversible technique that interfered with healing ……”

…… Did I make a mistake somewhere?

To put it bluntly, healing magic is mainly used for experiments on magical beasts, and I don’t have much experience working with humans.

I’ve read a lot of books, and in my spare time I’ve been improving existing techniques to deepen my understanding of healing magic, so I have a fair amount of knowledge, but I lack experience by far.

A magic beast doesn’t bother to complain to me, even if it has a problem with its body.

“I’m sorry if I have any inadequacies, but I don’t have much practical experience in healing.”

“N-, no, that’s not a problem, but …… You are the drifter sorcerer employed by Baron Fage. You are Abel Belek from the Marren tribe, right?”

Peter looked at me searchingly, as if he was struggling with something in his mind.

“Peter-san, can I ask you what happened here?”

Peter hesitated for a moment, and then slowly opened his lips, which were heavily covered with red lipstick.

“…… That is an ancient sanctuary of the Kudor Church, believed to have been built before the founding of the Dinrat kingdom. In the depths of that place, there may lie the Wand of Destruction, an ancient weapon that is suggested to exist in the lore of the Kudor Church.”

When Peter had said that much, one of his men beside him shook his shoulders and asked, “Are you sure?” as if to confirm, staring at Peter’s face.

Peter turned away from his subordinate.

“Wha-, Wand of Destruction!?”

This is the main reason why the collector got involved with me.

The Collector who has been walking all over the world collecting, but have never been able to find the whereabouts of the legendary staff.

That is the Wand of Destruction.

It is a treasure within a treasure that cannot be priced.

As a sorcerer, I’m interested in it too.

I swallowed a gulp of saliva and leaned forward toward Peter, bringing my face close to his.

Peter turned his back to keep his distance from me.

“I was secretly ordered by the kingdom to come here to destroy the “Wand of Destruction”. And then those kids who were trying to steal the “Wand of Destruction” interfered …… and now we’re in this mess.”

“Those kids ……?”

I glanced at Ruin, who had a soulless expression on her face.

…… did that girl interfere with you? No, no, it’s plural, so it must have been someone else who interfered.

At most, Ruin could have been doing some chores for the guards.

“I need a favor. There must be two people who entered the ancient temple before us. A gentleman and a large man in an iron mask. Neither of them is even from the Dinrat Kingdom. If they get their hands on the Wand of Destruction, the Dinrat Kingdom will be finished. I’m not sure I should be asking you to do this. But there is no one else I can ask. Could you please reach the innermost part before those two …… and destroy the “Wand of Destruction”? I’d be happy to return the favor in any way I can. I’m a …… man with some position and wealth, despite my appearance.”

I was secretly balancing the scales in my head.

I can either break the “Wand of Destruction” and receive a reward from Peter …… or I can take the “Wand of Destruction” and run away from Peter with it.

I thought about it for a moment and concluded that I should wait and see what the “Wand of Destruction” could do.

Legends can be exaggerated. And there is too little information about the “Wand of destruction”.

If you open the lid, you may find that it is just garbage.

“I understand, Peter-san! For the future of the Dinrat Kingdom, I’ll make sure to destroy the Wand!”

“I …… can’t just leave it to you. I’ve become much more mobile thanks to you, Abel-chan. I’m confident that I know more about the Kudor Church than anyone else in the Dinrat kingdom. I’ll go with you in case there’s something I can help you with. I also know a little something about that trio of people there, including the Noir.”

“Y-, yeah …… yes, that would be great ……”

…… Looks like a lookout was firmly attached.

When I was disappointed inwardly, a calm and sober girl in a nun’s uniform, far from the shady and stuffy appearance of Peter’s men, got up, her face twisted in anger, and pointed a finger at Peter.

“How dare you let something like that come out of your mouth! Travelers, please don’t be fooled! This demon is trying to take advantage of the power of the God of Law…”

When the girl had reached that point, one of Peter’s men who had crept up behind her tightened his grip on her neck, stopping her from speaking.

“Please don’t mind it. She’s not out of shock yet, and she’s in a state of delirium.”

Peter’s subordinate, who had been choking the girl, said to me nonchalantly.

H-However, she was clearly trying to tell me something just now ……
