Killer of gods chapter 69
As soon as these sonorous birds sang their "Ku-ka-re-ku", the mercenary opened his eyes and yawned loudly, scratching his stubble that had grown over the night. "M-yes" - he could not defeat this monster in any way. Having neatly and cleanly shaved, washed and rinsed his mouth, the guy began to dress in the clothes laid out on the eve. Trousers, undershirt - this, of course. Under the main jacket, he always put a shirt on, this often saved his body from chafing, and life from wounds, when the claws of monsters got stuck in its folds, the fabric for it was not chosen by chance, and although it cost Claude fabulous money, it was incredibly durable and soft . It was not easy to find a good thing in their time, and even at a reasonable price, and if you turned up such a thing, then consider yourself lucky. Do not snooze. Here the mercenary did not yawn. Do not skimp on the really worthwhile things. Next came the leather vest. in the summer it was a little hot in it, but it protected the

- Here's what you asked for. Ten gold. - the man said in a lily voice, looking benevolently at the mercenary. Mercenaries were not very favored among ordinary people, but for such a jackpot since the beginning of the day, the merchant was ready to fall in love with at least the devil, even a mercenary. The prices were fabulous, but Claude did not argue with the merchant, laying out ten gold coins near the man’s hand, he took his purchases. He preferred not to give or take money into or out of his hands, so as not to bring misfortune upon himself, especially today, when he was to meet with the babbler. Alone, he had not yet had to go to this creature, and the only time he participated in the hunt for this monster was a long time ago, even at the time when he was learning the wisdom of a fighter against evil spirits. Next on his list was an alchemist's or herbalist's shop, depending on how the owner of such a place preferred to call himself. Claude especially liked these shops, th

“Thank you,” the merchant croaked, finally coming to his senses. - I already thought I was finished when the ground suddenly left from under my feet. Claude contemptuously looked at the man lying near his feet, he really didn’t understand how it was possible to be so stupid, this man apparently didn’t have enough meeting with a swag on the road, instead of running towards the city along the highway, for some reason he rushed into the swamps, right into the clutches of the creature, and if it were not for the quagmire that he did not notice, he would have been in the arms of a swagger, much faster than a mercenary could have overtaken him. - What did you forget here? he muttered impolitely, ignoring the words of gratitude. Now they were worth nothing but wasted time. His harsh tone made the man embarrassed, reminding the mercenary even more of a suskros. Claude himself did not understand the reasons for such an association, but the wet look of the merchant, the mound of tousled h

- Not! No, I won't stay here alone! - Sit here! - Claude ordered in a confident voice that did not tolerate objections, causing the man to plop down on the ground and frightenedly pressed himself against the roots. What he saw in his face, the guy did not know, but it had a sobering effect. That's just how much?! Convinced that the trader was sitting in a shelter, Claude turned around and headed away along the barely noticeable path left by the swagger, the previously clear bloody trail had partially disappeared and only traces of brown spots remained on the leaves, confirming the right direction. The unfortunate fool has taken too much time, and the sun has already decently bowed over the horizon. A couple more hours and evening will come, and the surrounding area will gradually plunge into darkness. Should have rushed. Having more comfortably intercepted the bags that pulled his shoulder, he increased his pace, and behind him came a suspicious crack and squelch. Blazing with

Consciousness returned slowly, and the wild pain that tormented his body only confirmed the fact that he was still alive. What a mockery of fate, to remain alive after the shock of injury and a huge loss of blood, and to remain paralyzed without the ability to help oneself and simply lie in anticipation of death, enjoying all the delights of life leaving the body. Smiling mirthlessly, he opened his eyes, there was darkness all around. It took Claude a few seconds to realize that it was not his vision problem, but that the day had come to an end and night had fallen on the forest. A friendly crackle sounded somewhere nearby, a playful fire greedily devoured the treat offered to him, moaning with pleasure. Squinting, the mercenary tried to consider who could be next to him, but this did not lead to anything, his companion remained out of sight. straining answering with pain, stiff muscles, Claude tried to somehow attract someone else's attention, but it was all to no avail. The poiso

- Mr. mercenary, there, when I saw how IT was rushing at me, my heart almost stopped, and you! So! I have never seen anything like it. - The tailor rumbled, unable to stop, everything he had experienced still did not let him go, forcing him to tell at least someone everything he had experienced in order to unload his overwrought brain and not go crazy with fear. But for several kilometers around there were no other free ears, except for the ears of the mercenary. The horse in the role of an interlocutor, the tailor did not particularly suit. Claude only sighed heavily, not interfering with the verbal flow poured out on him by the man, he even dozed slightly, lulled by this uninterrupted tirade. - When I saw that you were lying motionless, as if dead, I was frightened, but after looking closely, I realized that you were alive and dragged you here, away from these monsters. I also treated your wounds from my reserves, my wife always puts a little for me on the road. Yes, just in c

- I was looking for medicines, - Aliy explained his actions, embarrassed, from which the look with which the mercenary followed him did not escape. This explained everything, but the tailor did not know that the free mercenary always preferred to keep medicines with him. After having a snack and washing down a hearty breakfast with water from a flask, they began to pack up. More precisely, Aliy rushed about near the cart, collecting the poor goods of both of them, and Claude watched him from his place and only occasionally commented on what to put where. After a half-hour gathering, it was decided to leave the cart here, and go light for the trophies. Having put on Nel’s back a skein of already spoiled fabric, covered with the blood of dead animals and which Aliy refused to launder, having saved the mercenary, which is why Claude became the free owner of a skein of amazing silk, his presence of bloody stains on the fabric did not bother at all, they were ready. Then it was Cl

“Well, come on, Aly, and don’t go to the lair of the swagger again, I may not be around,” Claude grinned and waved his hand in farewell. - I promise, mister mercenary, in the swamps more than a foot. The mercenary heard the following, to which he once again waved his healthy hand. The right hand still hadn't healed and was quite itchy. Carefully removing the bandage, Claude grimaced in pain, but it was better to be patient than to raise unnecessary questions. Confidently walking along the familiar streets of the city, because he spent a lot of time in Rigva, the guy invariably approached the tavern. There was still a lot of time, so he was in no hurry, there was just a shop of a female alchemist nearby, where he decided to look first. The woman was here, she was sincerely glad to see him, and when she learned that the terrible bobbler was no more, she gave the mercenary another antidote. Of course, he did not refuse such a gift, and having bought a few more bottles of various

Epilogue.
The Rancia empire prospered. Those terrible times when the Ransians fearfully expected the birth of their own children are far behind. With the accession to the throne of the new emperor Claude re Tigras the First and Empress Daisyre re Tigras, the people stopped living in fear and excitement. Now every Ransian, human or not, had the same right to life and happiness. The persecution of non-humans stopped, because the ruling family also did not belong to the human race, mixed marriages began to appear more often, and cities grew. Life became calmer, now the imperials were not afraid to travel between cities, risking being in the mouth of some monster. All creatures, of course, did not disappear, but as a result of a number of innovations introduced by Claude from the experience of his mercenary life, they greatly facilitate the fight against these creatures, forced them to go away from human habitation or hide deep in their holes. Man again became the dominant race on the planet, and e

- Oh, those boys. Alita purred as she slid off her man's lap and sat down on Claude's bed. “In general, sweetheart, when we burst into the hall, we only made it to the finale, when you, with completely wild eyes, rushed towards the door until you stretched out on the floor, not having reached us a few steps. And then Alexander quickly stepped forward, ordering that you be lifted and taken to the imperial chambers and called for a doctor, and then he explained to everyone present that according to some ancient law, I don’t know where he dug it up, you become the next emperor, taking the place of the deposed you ruler. We didn't even believe what we heard. You are Claude and the emperor. It sounded kind of unbelievable. And to be honest, they also managed to catch this cold, so they thought it was the result of a fever. But as it turned out, no, they heard right and you were really glorified as the future emperor. He cleverly organized everything here. So even the few dissatisfied witne

- Infections... It's people like me that you call an infection?- Yes. To be honest, I even liked you a little, not often non-humans managed to hide from my eye for so long, and your stupid principles ... naive, frankly childish, but noble, made me smile. However, the fact that you are a monster cannot be changed and you have no other destiny than to die.“It’s like seeing which one of us is a monster.— Ha! Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror?“Appearance says nothing about a person. Yes, my eyes and ears are different from human, but there is much less blood on my hands than on yours.- What are you talking about. Turn around. All these people could live if not for you.“My fault for their death is no less than the one who set them on me. At least I was only defending myself, not sending them to their deaths.They died because they were doing their duty.Or because they were left with no choice.This conversation did not lead them anywhere, without bringing clarity or sat

And now only three of them remained, the horses carried the tired mercenaries forward, whipping dust into the air and crumbling the age-old stone into the sand. Two hot streams of steam escaped the air from the wide, nervously quivering nostrils of the driven horses. No one believed that they would catch up with the warrior, only hoping that the emperor would not realize his terrifying plan immediately upon the arrival of his assistant. On the horizon in front of them rose the towers of San Pen, brightening up the dull landscape with each kilometer growing higher and higher, delighting and frightening at the same time. Claude did not know what awaited them in the capital, for the first time he did not have at least some slightly thought-out plan, only one desire to be in time, not to be late, to stop. Inside, everything was shrinking from a bad premonition, but the guy drove away uninvited thoughts. You should never take on a job with a gloomy attitude to its failure, otherwise, every

Leata's voice broke through her rage-clouded consciousness. "Finally!" the guy exhaled, looking at the best thing to do in order to retreat without consequences for his health and life. It was not far to go, the creatures had already almost pressed him to the failure, from which the mercenary was separated by several steps, he needed only a couple of three seconds to get the coveted vial and jump over to the other side. Taking a step back, he seized the sword more comfortably and threw the dagger at the creature closest to him, slashing the blade across the entire expanse available to him and forcing the creatures to retreat a couple of steps. Here are his seconds. Rushing back, he removed the blade with one hand, and with the other he felt for the coveted cork. Which is specially marked so as not to be confused with others. The previous experience of using this remedy in the battle with sectroses taught him decently, but there was no time to sip drop by drop. Let it be what will be.

Aiyana, hurry up. Something is not happening.- One more second. Here it is! - the girl purred enthusiastically, pressing the lever near the capsule, and completely not noticing what was happening around.- We have no time. It's time to go.- Not! Until I find it, I won't leave.- Crap! Is it worth your life?- Yes!Discouraged by the answer, the mercenary fell silent for a few seconds. That's devotion! She could be admired if he and his comrades of life did not depend on her.Tell me what to look for! - finally, unable to stand it, he grunted, finally entering the room and feeling the cold enveloping from all sides.- You don't know the language.But I can see. I'll find it by sight. Show me or we'll all stay here.She did not argue further, obediently showing what symbols she had to find. There were few of them, at most four, of which one was a letter, and the rest resembled modern numbers. It was not even a name, but rather a code. He moved along the nearest shelving unit, running

At Leata's remark, Claude only shook his head, as they approached the ruins, Leatrice became more and more irritable and angry. He did not know what was eating her, most likely she was also afraid. After a quick bite, they hit the road. The sounds that accompanied their breakfast didn't help their appetite, and neither did their conversation. In anticipation of a meeting with the owners of these voices, people unanimously grew gloomy, but walked, carefully looking around. It gradually began to get light around, mischievous rays gently ran across the grass, reflected in drops of dew, flashed on people's weapons, playfully looking into their eyes and blossomed with a gloomy rainbow, reflected from the surface of the lake. The one that Leata called the "Lake of the Dead". For what it received such a name, no one knew, but the assumptions were different. Maybe the ancients drowned their dead in it, or maybe this is due to some mysterious story, since the lake was no different from its cou

- What the hell! cried Claude with a loud splash as he went under the water. The turbulent river picked up its prey with the joy of a small child who discovered in his power a toy he had long desired. The big man was twisted and twisted, sometimes hitting the side of the shell. Water clogged in his mouth, nose, forcing him to spit, smearing haze before his eyes. You can't give up! Claude remembered that he was not alone in the water, but he did not have time to really see the creature that had so cleverly discounted him. However, this did not give a reason to underestimate her. Ripping up the water with powerful strokes, he forced himself to swim up. Thank the Gods, he did not have time to take aside. The shell, like a native, clung to him, dragging him along, trying in vain to pull him under him. The body already almost did not obey him, bound by a terrible cold. Pushing off from the surface of the water, Claude desperately jumped up in an unsuccessful attempt to grab the edge, feeli

— Falcon. Daisyra prompted, following his gaze. For her, this distance was not a problem. - Beautiful.- Yes. And lonely.- How are you!- What did you get?“This is how we met you in that tavern.- When it was. Seems like another life.- Yes. And I'm glad we met.- And I.They had a strange conversation, they seemed to be talking and at the same time not. Pictures of their meeting floated before his eyes, taken apart by the words of the girl, and seeing himself, he looked and did not recognize. Now he was no longer the same person. Claude has changed. Becoming somehow something ... more integral, but still in his chest did not want to melt a tight lump that appeared there in childhood, as if not allowing him to free himself from the cage created by himself.- For me, he is not alone, but strong. Rolk muttered thoughtfully.— Who are you talking about? Caer joined in, also following his eyes sparkling in the rays of the sun, following the bird circling above them.- About both.“We wi
