The Priestess Of Rodona - Chapter 105 Chapter 105
The days passed; first, it was just one, then the second one passed, then the third one and then the fourth one.
Jaana had large eye bags under her eyes already, and she had barely eaten as she was more and more worried about Elvire when a day passed, and Elvire’s condition haven’t gotten better at all.
So she didn’t know what to do other than stay as close as she could to Elvire and wipe her sweat away regularly.
They had made a temporary camp to the church, and the dark elves had gotten stronger and started to hunt with Tam, and they were slowly bringing meat for the camp, but still, Jaana wasn’t touching the food.
Levin was worse of the two; he couldn’t get Jaana to eat or talk much for him, and Elvire was laying unconscious in front of him.
So he had two people that he had to worry and take care of, but he couldn’t even make his wife or daughter feel better.
He was cursing at himself how useless he was to the point he had lost his limbs and now had a prosthetics.
He thought that he was a useless human being; he couldn’t even hunt as the bow wasn’t staying at his arm’s without anything you could place it.
And he couldn’t even walk or keep up with the hunting team or craft traps.
He could only go and check out the smaller traps now and then.
So he didn’t know what to do anymore; he had tried to feed Jaana without success, tried to massage and talk with her, but he haven’t received anything back from Jaana yet.
Even Mala and Tam didn’t know what to do now to support this family as even when they had gotten just married and should be focusing on themselves; they couldn’t just abandon this family.
After all, they had helped them a lot at this short period of time, and they were the reason why they had found themselves and gotten married, but now their savior’s were hurting themselves constantly.
So they only could watch from the sidelines and just provide them food and protection while watching that they wouldn’t do anything stupid and hurt themselves even more.
^Same time near the village.^
“Have you heard what did the holy kingdom offer this time?” One adventurer asked from another one.
“Timothy, what they had offered this time? Is this something that could mean money to us?” The adventurer asked from Timothy while his eyes were showing greed.
“Mark, my friend, I saw one of the priests on the town before we left, and you were still shopping.
They were telling about if we find one person, they will pay a million gold coins to anyone who delivers that person to them.” Timothy said, and Mark asked.
“How will we know who this person is? Couldn’t we just bring any random person to them and receive the reward?”
“My friend, I bought this stone from the old priests.
He said that it reacts when that person is close and starts to vibrate, and the more it’s vibrating, the closer the person is.” Timothy said while pulling a simple stone out from his pocket that was tied with a piece of yarn.
“Oh, like now?” Mark asked while pointing at the stone that was gently vibrating.
“Yes, like this…” Only now, Timothy realized that the stone was actually vibrating around, and he looked at Mark.
“Mark, my friend, we just found the jackpot.” While trying the different directions to see at which it was vibrating most.
^At somewhere.^
“Argh, even when I’m one of the handsome ones from the devil’s, I still got the short straw, and I have to go and seduce a girl.
Is this really something that me a high devil should be doing?
Especially when now I’m here every last one of those fanatics will be hunting me down, and I’m so tired of dealing with them.” A devil said to himself while brushing the dirt off from his clothes.
He was quite handsome with his medium length black hair, violet eyes, and slender body and facial proportion.
The only striking feature was his horns and the suit that was an older type but still in good condition.
He looked around and saw the summoning circle and all of the livestock and fruits that had been sacrificed while most of the devil’s had lent their powers and used them up that could summon him to the earth.
Then he saw a lonely worshipper bowing down in front of him, trying to be as quiet as he could be.
The devil went and lifted up the worshipper and started to brush the dirt off from him also.
“M…my venerable Lord, you don’t have to clean this lowly one if I haven’t satisfied the venerable Lord I can sacrifice myself for you.” The worshipper meekly said before the devil answered.
“Nonsense, I just don’t want our worshippers to look like some vagabonds.
You have done a great job, and you can go back to rest and gather information and power.
As we will need every last one of our worshippers for the final battle.
So you should take care of yourself and call your friends as we shouldn’t let all of this food go to waste as you already look so skinny, so eat more.” The devil said while picking up an apple before cleaning it to his shirt and offering it to the worshipper.
“My Lord, thank you so much.
I will heed your words and will not waste any food from here.” The worshipper said while holding the apple and bowing down.
“Good, remember to take care of yourself as what we would do with skinny and sick people?
But I have to go now and do my mission before the gods realize that I’m walking on the earth.’ the devil said before disappearing to the thin air.
The worshipper bowed down one last time before going to gather some trusted allies that could take care of the fruits and carcasses.
