Cursed Thrones
Chapter 25 - Unpleasant Guest

'Srassshh!!'

Brian drew his sword firmly. It splashed the blood of the white wolf around him.

Slowly, he began to kneel in the middle of the pile of white wolf carcasses. The number reaches tens.

'Klaakk! Klaa!'k!'

With a body filled with that blood, Brian cut off the fangs of the white wolf around him. Use it as evidence for their hunting.

Meanwhile in the distance, Cecilia is seen sitting casually on a tree branch while singing.

The song is quite melodious makes Brian not at all concerned about the girl sitting still does not help. After all, Cecilia had previously helped hunt them down.

It never hurts to do something as boring as collecting these fangs alone.

"ah! Aye! Brian's! What if we hunt the Ogre?! I heard there are still Ogres left in the forest near Grenary!" cecilia shouted excitedly.

The girl immediately jumped down from that 5-meter-high tree over. Put both feet on the fertile land of these hills.

"Ogres? What'sthat?" brian asked briefly as he continued his work.

"Ogre ya Ogre! They have large bodies as tall as 1.5 to 2 times that of a human! If we're lucky, we can find a two-headed Ogre!" obviously Cecilia was full of spirit.

During these few weeks, the hunt for both went more smoothly along with the increase in their experience.

Brian is increasingly skilled in using the sword and utilizing his physical abilities, as well as Cecilia who is increasingly shrewd with her bow and arrow.

Not forgetting his ability to see a little future in front of them.

"Rejected, that sounds very dangerous." Brian retorted.

"Eeeh?! But money...."

Shortly after, Brian stood up. Tied the small leather pouch containing the white wolf's fangs on his waist.

Before answering, Brian thought for a moment.

A job as an adventurer is indeed very dangerous with a fairly low wage. But on the contrary, with the ability of both of them, this dangerous job felt so easy.

Just like this Quest.

Hunt down a herd of white wolves that plague farms in the Mapleford region.

His prize?

Just for a 2-day job of monitoring and searching for the whereabouts of the pack, as well as half a day to hunt them down....

Both will get paid 1 gold coin and 30 silver coins. Of course, Adelle will cut in half to keep her mouth shut.

But still. That's a huge payday.

Then if the opponent is a monster as terrible as Ogre....

"How much is the prize?" ask Brian briefly.

Instantly a very wide smile adorned the beautiful face of the Elf girl.

He did not speak much, only raising 4 fingers on his right hand. Put it on Brian's face.

"You kidding me?!"

"Well, even if that Ogre does prove to exist. We'll get 4 gold coins per head." Cecilia replied.

"Wait for what else?! Quickly return to the city and grab that Quest. Ah, that's right, buy some supplies from Jareth."

"Ready-done!"

......***......

Upon arrival at Mapleford City, the two were startled by the presence of an overwhelming number of troops.

And all of them were wearing white robed armor with the dragon emblem on their backs. Under the dragon emblem, there is a symbol that shows the number 9.

"La. la... Kuggh?!"

Quickly, Brian silenced Cecilia's mouth and pulled her away.

"Shut up and come with me." whispered Brian as he continued to run. Stay away from the main road and head towards the hill near the City.

Behind the lush trees, Brian just released Cecilia while looking towards the city.

'*Damn it! What the hell is going on?! Why is the holy order in this city?! Don't say.... Our hideout is uncovered?! Or did Adelle open her mouth?

No. gabe.... Adelle got a lot of money from us. Opening this secret was very detrimental to him. Then.... Why*?' brian thought in his heart.

He was so scared. His body even trembled by itself when recalling the figure of the holy command.

The figure that made his simple peace in the forest was broken easily.

"Eh? Why is there a sacred commandment?" ask Cecilia to panic.

"You think I know? Whatever it is, we better hide first for a while."

Holding back hunger, the two waited for time to pass on the hill. Their concealment was quite minimal, but at least enough to give them a chance to monitor the state from a distance.

Until finally....

When the day was long enough and the moon was high enough, the army of the holy order left the city.

Their ranks consisted of at least 1,000 trained knights. While on the front, Brian could see it clearly.

The commander figure of this 9th holy order, who was none other than a straight brownish-haired youth. Her hair was long enough to cover her ears.

The commander had a rather short body, which was about 160cm. While the physical itself is not so muscular. It still looks like an 18-year-old boy in general.

Different from his fully armored and thick Knight army, the commander along with the 5 people beside him was only wearing white robes with many black grooves decorating him.

Without a single iron plate protecting his body.

Brian, who continued to look at the figure from a distance with his vision ability, tried to be very careful.

He remembered his experience in the forest.

And this time, Brian managed to observe it in silence. Without making the commander of the holy order realize it.

Or at least....

That's what he thought.

"Mr Reverie, on the hill there." whispered one of his bodyguards who was also not wearing the armor.

"I knew. Let it. They're just ordinary demons." the Commander replied as he continued on their way. His face seemed to remain calm, not the least bit surprised by it.

"But...."

"Our main task right now is to look for the existence of the devil worshipers. Remember, they just regained Hecate's left arm. You know what that means, right?" clearly the Commander without looking at it in the least.

Even without slowing down his steps at all. Making Brian who was watching them from a distance was completely unaware of it.

Hearing that explanation, not a single bodyguard could retaliate.

"If they managed to find the rest of his body, right arm, heart, and both legs, Hecate would get back up.

Or at least, to my knowledge they haven't found it. Now, the two demons that were filled with the smell of wolf blood, and the resurrection of Hecate. Which is more important?" ask the Commander named Reverie.

"I'm sorry for us." They reply briefly.

The ninth holy order troops continued on their way without much rest.

Trying to find traces or information of the existence of the devil worshipers.

Then annihilate the rest of Hecate's body completely.

While it's far up the hill....

"Fuuuh, it's a good thing they left immediately. But, this ninth holy order is not so great huh? Wasn't the one who was instantly aware of our existence?" brian said with relief.

"Well! I told you, the most dangerous sacred commandment is the sixth!" reply Cecilia with pride.

Without realizing the truth.
