Raphael observed how the woman who turned out to be Albert's daughter, he still couldn't stop thinking that the curse Ettienne said last night actually existed and was currently happening in front of him.For a moment Raphael couldn't focus himself to hear what Albert was saying to him. Raphael still couldn't digest what was happening in front of him."Raphael!" Ettienne called while patting Raphael's shoulder from behind, he didn't know why his friend was pensive in his place like that.It wasn't until Raphael realised that after feeling himself being hit from behind, he immediately turned to Albert who was very anxious at this time. "So you haven't given it to your son yet?" asked Raphael wanting to make sure what was happening right now.Albert nodded his head quickly, "Looks like I was too late to give the curse restraining potion to Sylphie, so she's like this now." Albert was really worried about his daughter's condition."Right now I just need to give the potion to him right?"
After entering their inn, Raphael immediately sat down on his bed, he wanted to see what happened to his wound. Raphael didn't think that he would get hit by the half-monster's attack."How's your wound? It doesn't look too bad, but it should be cleaned up soon," Ettienne said feeling quite sorry for what happened to Raphael at this time, fortunately he wasn't the one who was told to give the potion to Sylphie."Dunno, I don't think the wound is that deep," Raphael replied after taking a closer look at the wound. Raphael knew about his wound as well because he heard the notification from the System.Ding![Negative status on Host has been cleared by System][Starting recovery on Host's body]Raphael didn't know if this was a feature he got after upgrading before, or if his system already had a feature like this. Either way, Raphael can rest easy now because he doesn't have to worry about his current situation.It seemed that if there was no System, then Raphael would be poisoned by
To get back to Amethyst City, Raphael and Ettienne had to go back through the scary dark swamp, luckily this time they were able to get out of there faster than before because they also didn't have to look after Albert and his cart.It only took Raphael and Ettienne two days of travel to return to Amethyst City. After arriving at Amethyst City, they didn't immediately rest at the inn, but they immediately reported about their mission to the Adventure Guild.Raphael also intended to report what happened in the dark swamp. Raphael didn't know if the Adventure Guild people knew about the revival monster incident, but he definitely had to report this matter first.After five days of travelling, Raphael felt a little dizzy when he had to see the many people passing by on the streets of Amethyst City, which were always busy every day.It took Raphael and Ettienne a few moments to reach the government district where the Adventure Guild building was located. Not wanting to waste any more t
These two days Raphael and Ettienne had gone around the business district of Amethyst City to get new equipment for them. This time they couldn't underestimate the expedition they were about to join, moreover it was being organised by the Adventure Guild.Raphael actually preferred to get equipment from the System because it was stronger and also useful to him. However, since the System recently stopped providing equipment for him, Raphael had to find his own fighting equipment.During those two days, Raphael looked at all the equipment in Amethyst City, until finally he bought enough things that he thought would be useful when going on an expedition later.And today was the day Raphael and Ettienne would go on an expedition. Raphael and Ettienne had been waiting for this day, they couldn't wait to go on this expedition.Because previously they had been warned to come early in the morning, Raphael and Ettienne got ready from the morning and immediately went to the Adventure Guild t
Everyone who joined the expedition started to leave Amethyst City. Raphael along with the group from the Adventure Guild were behind the expedition, he was also confused about why they were placed in the back like this.Even though they were told that their task on this expedition was to escort Andrew, in fact they were stationed at the back of the line which was very far away from Andrew's current whereabouts.Raphael already suspected that there was something fishy about this expedition. However, right now Raphael could only see what would happen, this journey had only just begun, so he didn't see any signs of anything bad yet.Ettienne, who was walking beside Raphael, nudged his friend, "Why is your face so gloomy like that?" asked Ettienne jokingly, he could see that the look on Raphael's face at this moment was terrible."Aren't you worried about this expedition?" Raphael answered while frowning in annoyance, whereas before it was Ettienne who looked worried, now he looked no
Raphael who heard what Robert said started to get closer to him, even though he didn't feel happy when he did, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity at this time. Robert might know something that could give him information about Andrew's figure."What do you know, is something good or bad?" asked Ettienne, starting to feel that what Robert was about to say was not a good thing, especially when he saw how careful Robert was like this.It was seen that Robert only grinned, then after the two people drew closer to him, he began to say what he wanted to say about Andrew."Many people say how cunning Andrew is. But, not many say it openly for fear, it's just that Andrew's naughtiness is an open secret in the city of Amethyst," said Robert in a low whisper, he didn't want anyone else to hear. what he said about Andrew.Upon hearing that Raphael frowned, realising that the premonition he had earlier was correct. But, hearing from what Robert said, it seemed they didn't want to say what
As night fell Raphael couldn't sleep, especially after he found out what the people who were with them on this expedition could do. To be honest, Raphael couldn't trust Andrew after what the Adventurers he had just met told him.One thing that made Raphael think this was about Catherine, he didn't know whether Catherine was on Andrew's side or not. Raphael thought that it seemed that Catherine already knew how Andrew was behaving, it's just that he didn't know which side Catherine was taking at this time."Should I go to Catherine and ask her in person?" Raphael's mind began to think about coming to Catherine, but on the other hand he also didn't want to cause any more trouble with Catherine.If Ettienne had caught wind of his intentions, Raphael was sure his friend would roar with anger at him and would not allow him near Catherine, telling him to stay out of any trouble that could come their way if he came to Catherine.Finally, Raphael sighed and thought about postponing seeing
Raphael and Catherine were very confused at the moment, they didn't know when the monster would come to attack them, while they were currently alone, there was no way they could deal with that monster."Even the government officials who came with us were also hit by this spell?" Raphael asked Catherine who was still as confused as before.Catherine nodded her head, "Yes, all of them, along with the core troops guarding them, were also asleep," she replied while massaging her head slowly."Wait a minute, you guys have special bodyguards? Didn't you say that Adventurers will serve as Andrew's bodyguards?" Finally, Raphael also had the opportunity to ask this question to Catherine.For a moment Catherine's face twisted as she realised she shouldn't talk about it to Raphael. "Looks like it would be a waste, if I tried to hide this with you." Finally, Catherine sighed with difficulty."You're not doing anything bad with those officials are you?" This time Raphael wanted to confirm thi
Hearing what Catherine said at this time, at first Raphael couldn't believe what he was hearing, but seeing that there was no sign that Catherine was lying, Raphael came to believe that this news was genuine.Even though Raphael still couldn't believe it, somehow Catherine did it to make Andrew decide to leave Pearl City, Raphael was still happy with this good news, however they couldn't continue to be in Pearl City which was full of criminals."What will happened to get us out of Pearl City this time?" Ettienne, who still couldn't believe what he was hearing, became very curious about what Catherine had done to get them out of Pearl City."What is certain is that Catherine has done something to make Andrew finally agree to leave this city and continue our journey to the city of Sapphire." Raphael could only say this because he also didn't know what Catherine had done at this time."Somehow I even feel that Andrew will do something to us for making it like this," Ettienne replied fe
Andrew was not happy with what Catherine said at this time, he still couldn't believe what he was hearing at this time, how could this little witch dare to say such things to him in front of his soldiers like this."How dare you say that to me!" Andrew shouted loudly at Catherine without forgetting while raising his index finger towards Catherine angrily.It seemed that if no one was here it was certain that Andrew would run up to Catherine and attack her with all his strength because he was too annoyed.Even though she was quite surprised by what Andrew had done, Catherine remained calm in her place, not moving in the slightest at this time. Catherine reciprocated Andrew's treatment without releasing excessive emotions in return."But, you know best that as the Captain of this expedition, I am the one with the authority to make decisions. So, I myself will determine Raphael's punishment." Finally, Catherine also dropped her final attack on Andrew with the current facts.Andrew cou
There was a big fight between Raphael and the male bandits who came to attack their group. However, the fight didn't last long as reinforcements soon arrived and drove the bandits away.However, according to Raphael there was something strange going on here, there was no way they would just come like this, then leave after seeing help coming. Raphael immediately remembered about his friends who immediately left there to save themselves."What about them?" Raphael also intended to run towards the tent used by his Adventurer group, he wanted to see what was happening there.But, not to mention Raphael managed to take a step away from there, he already heard that he was called by someone. When Raphael turned around he found Andrew standing there with his proud face while glancing fiercely at Raphael."You! Stay here, I'll be interrogating the patrolmen on duty today!" Andrew also issued an order and forbade the patrol officers to leave the scene."But-"Raphael was just about to mak
As it got late, Raphael felt that the atmosphere around him was becoming increasingly tense and cold. Starting to sense that the guests coming tonight would soon bar their fangs at them.It's just that until now Raphael still didn't see any movement from them, making him quite suspicious of what was happening. Though now is the most appropriate time to launch an attack on the expeditionary group.Not only was it the middle of the night, but also because by this time the patrol members were quite caught off guard having already made two rounds of patrols and found nothing, so they had little intention of going out on patrol."Even though I was expecting them to attack at this point, why haven't they made their move even now?" muttered Raphael confusedly, he still didn't understand what the criminals were thinking.Having to be wary of attacks by criminals that could happen at any time, Raphael didn't move far from the tents of his group of Adventurers. If Raphael saw any sign that
It was only then that Raphael learned that Catherine had a secret place where they could hide if their group of Adventurers were attacked by criminals in Pearl City.That way Raphael was calm enough because at least his group of Adventurers could be a bit safe with the help given by Catherine. It's just that Raphael was a little suspicious of these criminals, weren't they afraid of the risk they would take by attacking the official expedition party from another city?For some reason Raphael thought that they were related to what James and Andrew had said earlier in the main building. Was Andrew keeping them here on purpose to finish them off? Raphael realised that what he was thinking was quite reasonable.Given that their group of Adventurers were troops brought personally by Catherine and Raphael guessed that Andrew didn't like this.It seems that because of his greed, Raphael guessed that Andrew wanted him to be in complete control of this expedition and use Catherine as his pup
Raphael had to wait a few moments for the argument between Catherine and Andrew to subside. After that Raphael also saw that Catherine walked out of the previous tent.At that time Raphael thought that this was not the right moment to tell Catherine the information he had. So, Raphael decided to immediately step away from that place to return to his patrol area.So that whole night Raphael followed his patrol obediently and luckily nothing bad happened that night. Because only one group was formed for the night patrol, Raphael could only rest when the sun rose. . . .Having not slept all night, Raphael woke up from his sleep at noon after the next morning he immediately returned to his group's tent to sleep and rest.When Raphael woke up from his sleep, he immediately came out of the tent because he heard a commotion that was quite disturbing. Raphael was quite curious when he heard that there was a noise coming from outside.What surprised Raphael when he was outside the tent
The rest of the night passed smoothly, thanks to the help from Ettienne, Raphael was not suspected when the core of the expedition made a check for trouble in the surroundings.Raphael, who was pretending to be asleep at that time, heard the reason they gave for checking the tents used by everyone.Due to last night's unusual events, Raphael heard that there had been a lot of whispers being heard among the soldiers as well as Adventurers. They were quite curious about what happened, so that the core members of the expedition made a sudden check.Robert and his two friends glanced at Raphael suspiciously, he suspected that Raphael had done something to make the core members of the expedition check last night."Is this your doing, Raphael?" asked Robert in a low voice, not wanting anyone else to hear what he was saying.Raphael shook his head slowly "No, I just went to meet Catherine at her tent last night," Raphael replied while telling the others about what he did last night after d
At this time Raphael was back to using his usual black robe when he wanted to act, usually he wandered around society with his casual appearance without a robe, now that he had to sneak into the residence of the leader of Pearl City, he had to use this robe to cover his appearance. .Right now Raphael was trying to be as calm as possible to enter the residence, he had to pay attention to his surroundings as there were many people standing guard there to protect the place. It's just that Raphael still doesn't know where the guards are.In order for Raphael to enter the residence, he first had to go take out the guards that were around the main building which was in a luxurious neighbourhood that had several buildings around it.If not then Raphael would make his target alert and he would most likely be chased by another guard who would soon come to arrest him and he would immediately make Andrew and his interlocutors become alert and be even more careful than before."I have to find
Throughout the day until nightfall everything went smoothly without anything suspicious happening. It was only when it was night like this that Raphael decided to meet Catherine, he chose this time so that not too many people would see him meet Catherine later.Currently in a fairly large circle along with several troops brought over by the Amethyst city government as well as the Adventurers were surrounding a bonfire while enjoying their dinner.Seeing that this was the right time to sneak in, Raphael gave Ettienne the signal that he would immediately go to meet Catherine first."Say something while I'm away so no one suspects me," Raphael whispered to Ettienne for help before slipping away."Don't worry, I will do something to cover your departure." Ettienne nodded his head understanding what Raphael meant at this time.After making sure everything was safe, Raphael slowly moved from his position and started away from the crowd of people who were gathering for dinner that night.T
