Demon King Priest

Chapter 30: Before the Titan Poseidon sailed (3)

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A violent knock came from outside the door, waking Rasputin who was sleeping. When she woke up, she only felt a sharp headache, and bursts of sour gas rushed up to her throat, making her just want to vomit.

"It looks like it's not a good thing to drink too much," Rasputin complained, put on a veil, and was about to get up.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Maybe it was because the person didn't hear Rasputin's reply, the knock on the door became even more anxious.

"Got it! Got it! I'm coming. Seriously, it's very rude to disturb others' rest so early in the morning. I would be angry if it wasn't important." Dragging the exhausted body, Rasputin walked to the door and opened it.

The one who knocked on the door was a middle-aged mage wearing a level five mage cloak, which surprised Rasputin a little. She thought it was a hotel clerk to remind her that she should have breakfast.

"Are you the level six mage, Mr. Rasputin?" The mage asked her politely.

"Yes, I am Rasputin. What's the matter?" Rasputin was not surprised by the misidentification of her gender by others. It seemed that in the eyes of most people, a young level six mage could only be a man.

"I am the deputy guild leader of the Taji City mage Guild. On behalf of the Taji City mage Guild, I sincerely invite you to be the guards of Titan Poseidon, a ship that will begin its first sail in two days. I hope you can accept the invitation." The middle-aged mage informed Rasputin of his intention.

"The Titan Poseidon, the first steel giant in history made by the Mage Guild? I would be honoured to accept the invitation! But who else will be on this ship? How much can I get if I join the guards?" Rasputin raised most critical questions straightforwardly.

"There are already ten level six warriors and five level six mages on this ship. There are about a hundred other warriors and mages below level six, but no one is below level four. In addition, to ensure that this sail is safe, Mage guild headquarters has sent two level seven masters over. If you are willing to join, we will pay you twenty thousand gold coins." the Middle-aged mage answered Rasputin's questions one by one.

"Two level seven masters!" The strength of the guards that middle-aged mage said earlier was still in Rasputin's expectation, but the latter two level seven masters really shocked her. It seemed that the Mage Guild had tried its best to ensure the safety of this sail, and they even sent out level seven masters.

"Okay, I will join!" Since there were level seven masters in the group, and the compensation was not low, Rasputin readily agreed to the middle-aged mage's invitation.

"Thank you so much. This is the ticket and the crystal card that has been credited with ten thousand gold coins. Please accept it. Then, see you soon." After giving a ticket and a crystal card to Rasputin, the middle-aged Mage left Rasputin's room.

"Spending a period of time on the sea? It doesn't seem to be a bad idea. I should take a break and relax! It's not like drinking in the house like this will help me anyway." Rasputin sighed while holding the ticket. She had spent the past few days half drunk and half awake. After being treated by the light mage who she couldn't even remember his name using that kind of method, she began to give up on herself and locked herself in a hotel room to drink all day long. That incident was too much for her. Except for her mother, no one had ever seen her body! Even her father hadn't even seen it. But she couldn't attack the other party, after all, he was also her savior.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Stop thinking about it! You should go back to sleep!" The more Rasputin thought about it, the more angry she was, but in the end, she had no choice but to go back to bed and sleep.

...

"Oh! Big brother, where are you now! Why did you not come to see Cherie?" In a beautiful garden full of colorful flowers, a blond little girl in a white dress and white butterfly hair ornaments sighed. She was the little noble girl saved by Ulysses last time. In her hand, the amethyst bracelet that was the same as Aya's transformation was shining.

Cherie, who was only twelve years old this year, was the beloved daughter of Count Lafayette. Since she was the only child in the count's family, she was loved by everyone in the count's family since she was a child. It could be said that she had lived in the care of everyone since she was a child, and she had hardly experienced any hardship. So she was a little naive to think that everything in the world was beautiful, and those bad people only existed in the story told by her mom and dad when they wanted her to go to sleep. However, that night a few days ago, her dream was shattered.

She would never forget what happened that night. She clearly remembered, in order to fulfill her agreement with Alice, she ran out of the house when the maid Liss was not paying attention. When Liss found out, she ran after her desperately and frantically discouraged her from going out, telling her that there was a killer in the street recently. But she didn't listen to her.

What happened next became Cherie's eternal nightmare. The killer wearing a mask suddenly appeared. He rushed towards her frantically. An unknown big brother loudly reminded them to run away and blocked the killer with his body, but he was immediately knocked away by the killer. Liss desperately hugged her, who was too scared to move, and wanted to take her away. However, in a blink of an eye, she was pierced into the heart by the killer's sword. Not only that, the sword went through her body and pierced Cherie's chest.

The sword was really cold. These was Cherie's only thoughts after being stabbed by the sword, and then she lost consciousness. What she saw, in the end, was Liss's guilty face for failing to protect her and the sky full of blood.

When she woke up, she found herself in a pool of blood, but it was strange that she had almost no injuries at all. Only her torn clothes stained with blood to prove that she had suffered fatal injury. The killer had disappeared, leaving only the blood and Liss's body parts all over the floor.

At that moment, Cherie felt unprecedented loneliness and fear. On the street with no one, she was alone, surrounded by blood and people's body parts, as if everyone had abandoned her. But at this moment, an amethyst bracelet and a small piece of paper fell out of her arms, and she was taken aback for a long time before she had the courage to open the small piece of paper and look at it.

Lovely little princess, I'm really sorry for making you encounter such a terrible thing today, but you don't have to be afraid anymore, that nasty killer has been wiped out by me. Your injury was cured by me. Please believe that there are still many beautiful things in this world. Don't lose hope in this world because of your misfortune tonight. To express my apologies, I'm giving you my amethyst bracelet. If you are a good girl, I will visit you again. The big brother who will always protect you from afar.'

In that extremely cold and lonely night for Cherie, this little note was like a candle to warm and illuminate her heart that had fallen into darkness and cold. She just read the warm words on the small note over and over again, holding the purple crystal bracelet tightly to go through the long night that had changed her life.

When the count and his wife went home in the morning and found the blood and body outside the door and Cherie sitting in a pool of blood, they were almost scared to death. In the next few days, Cherie was forbidden to go out. They were so worried about her. They didn't want anything to happen to her again.

Cherie, who couldn't go out, had to stay at home obediently. In the past few days, she had nothing else to do, so she kept stroking the amethyst bracelet left by the unknown big brother, imagining his appearance. She didn't tell anyone about the bracelet and the note. When she was most alone and helpless, it was the bracelets and notes left by this big brother that gave her the only warmth. She hoped to thank him in person. Although she could not go out, she thought that if she was to be a good girl as stated in the big brother's note, maybe he would come to see her on his own accord. Although she knew in her heart that this possibility was actually small.

"Miss, good news! Master promised to let you go on the Titan Poseidon. You can finally leave the house!" A maid shouted and ran towards her.

"Really!" Cherie jumped with joy when she heard the news. After all, being kept at home and not being able to go out was really a depressing thing. Besides, if she wanted to find that big brother and thank him, it was obviously better to go outside than to wait in the house.

"Oh the Supreme God! Please bless me to find that unknown big brother smoothly!" Cherie prayed to the Supreme God sincerely.

"Achoo!" It was summer, but Ulysses sneezed inexplicably.

Did anyone mention my name behind my back?' Ulysses was confused about this strange sneeze.
