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
Now Raphael is standing in the middle of a siege of monsters that keep attacking him from various directions, even with the help of Catherine attacking from behind with her magic attacks. Raphael still received several monster attacks on his body.The fact was that the monsters that came to attack this time were numerous and it overwhelmed Raphael greatly, he didn't expect that there would be this many monsters. Not to mention that Raphael has to beat them all because he also has a Quest from the System that must be completed."Damn, why are there so many monsters coming to attack," Raphael said while grinding his teeth hard, trying to survive under the onslaught of the monsters' attacks."Raphael, hold on! I will help you get out of their siege," Catherine shouted from the front gate of the port village.Catherine really didn't expect that the monsters that came to attack this village would be so numerous. If Catherine was alone here, then he could confidently say that she wouldn'
Raphael, who was embracing Catherine's unconscious body, turned his gaze towards where the group of monsters were before. After receiving the large-scale magic cast by Catherine, Raphael could see that there were only a few left at the moment.And it also seemed that the monster's condition wasn't too good after receiving such a crushing attack from Catherine. Seeing that, Raphael decided to carry Catherine's unconscious body to move it to a safe place; he needed to finish off the monsters until they were all destroyed."Looks like it's safe here," Raphael muttered when he saw a room used for the village gate guard's patrol post. Raphael placed Catherine's body carefully there, then immediately sauntered off to finish off the monsters.When Raphael returned, he could see that the monsters' bodies didn't look very good, even their body movements looked quite strange. It seemed this was a side effect of Catherine's previous magic.Raphael also took advantage of this situation to kil
All night Raphael stayed up at the control post to monitor the situation around Port village, he couldn't leave the post for fear that the monsters would come back and start attacking them.However, until this morning Raphael saw no sign of the monsters coming back to attack them. And just then Raphael heard that Catherine seemed to have regained consciousness after being passed out for the whole night.Raphael also rose from his position to see Catherine's condition, which looked much better than before. "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" Raphael asked when he saw Catherine slowly open her eyelids.Catherine, who at first tried to gather her life, immediately opened her eyes wide when she saw Raphael and immediately remembered what was going on."Gosh! Where are the monsters?!" Catherine said while frantically looking around, she didn't expect that she could fall asleep even though their situation was bad."You're too late to ask that. The sun has risen, they're gone,
After waking up everyone who had fallen asleep, Raphael and his entourage began to gather in the middle of a large field in the village of Port. Even though Raphael had talked to Catherine before, only this time he didn't know what Catherine's intention was to gather them here."Do you know why they tried to gather us here?" Ettienne asked Raphael in a low voice, because he had sensed that his friend had been acting strange this morning and he had a feeling that Raphael knew something about this.Raphael shook his head slowly, "I don't know, I don't really understand what they're trying to do. But, most likely they want to tell us about something," Raphael answered while saying his guesses about their current situation.Even though Raphael was actually still doubtful about Catherine who was willing to divulge what happened last night to everyone who took part in this expedition. Raphael thought telling everyone about what happened last night was the right move.Because, if they did
While continuing their expedition to the city of Sapphire, Raphael felt that the trip was getting boring, because nothing important happened while they were heading to their stop."Why does your face look so unhappy? Are you bored?" asked Ettienne intending to ridicule Raphael who seemed to regret having joined this expedition."I'm glad we're not in any danger, but it feels so boring just walking around doing nothing like this," Raphaek replied with a tired sigh. Even though Raphael was just walking along with this expedition group, he felt very tired.Hearing that Ettienne burst out laughing, feeling that Raphael was so stupid at this time, he didn't expect that his brutal friend could be bored like this. It seemed that Raphael had not seen blood for too long, so he was bored."Then pray that we're going to have trouble, so you can jump into action and not be bored anymore," Ettienne later replied, although he was not sure that the problems they were about to encounter would be e
About two days later the expedition group from Amethyst City arrived at the gates of Pearl City. Raphael, who took part in the expedition, followed the other steps to enter Pearl City which looked nothing like what he had previously thought.The atmosphere in Pearl City is very different from Amethyst City or us Crimson that Raphael has visited before. Raphael could feel how gloomy the atmosphere was among the people in the city.Actually Raphael really didn't expect this, which made it even more surprising, he could see that there were many beggars on the side of the road. Even though Raphael had never seen beggars in the city of Amethyst and Crimson before."It seems the condition of this city is really bad, even the citizens don't live well," Raphael muttered while glancing at the beggars with a bit of sympathy.Raphael could see that the beggars were intending to come towards their party to ask for money, but it seemed they discouraged that intention when they saw the weapons t
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
