I Became a Fake Priest the Saintess Is Obsessed With

60 – Lost in the Forest.

“We’ve arrived! We can’t go any higher than this because it’s dangerous!”

We finally reached the observation tower at the edge of the volcano peak.

There was something I overlooked before climbing the mountain, and that was that everyone in our group was a physical monster.

Brielle, Amelia, Lesia, I don’t know why, but even Dorothy.

They climbed the volcano non-stop for almost 5 hours, and Tina and I thought we were going to die because it was too much to keep up.

“hehehe… hehehe… You’re finally here…”

“Wow… That was really hard…”

“Are you two okay…?”

Saint Amelia was worried about me and Tina, who collapsed from exhaustion.

When other people were going at really crazy speeds, the saint held them back and we were able to keep up.

“Thank you, Saint… If it weren’t for you, we would have fallen behind and been left behind.”

“That’s right… Thank you so much, Amelia…”

“hehehe…What? I’m glad you two came along safely.”

Ah… What a woman full of virtue…

The saint shines so brightly that it seems like light is emanating from behind her.

“Look over there! The view is so beautiful!”

“Where, where! You can’t come all the way here and pass out without seeing the scenery!:

Tina hurriedly got up and looked at the direction Dorothy pointed.

When I got up shakily and looked at the scenery, I saw that the path we had walked so far was still unfolding.

“Ah… It’s truly ecstasy…”

Just an endless mountain range.

Smooth and rough curves like a dragon’s back.

It is truly a sight that cannot be expressed in words.

Probably not even the world would be able to capture this scenery.

“There are still about 3 hours left until the Bongryong Day festival starts. “We will stay for one hour and then move to the festival site.”

Following our guide Dorothy’s words, we enjoyed the scenery from the observation tower for about an hour.

“Come on! “Then let’s go down now!”

1 In just a little while, we were slowly descending from the mountain.

When going up, it went up quickly, but when going down, it went down slowly.

It was the group’s consideration for Tina and I, who were depleted of stamina.

Sir Brielle and Lecia each said they would give me and Tina a piggyback ride.

Tina rode on Nalm Resia’s back, but I refused.

Hmm, what can I say.

Still, isn’t it a bit weird for a boy to be carried on a man’s back…?

When I went down with such pride, I had to go through many humiliations, such as almost falling on a very steep road and getting my feet wet after stepping on a stagnant puddle.

‘I should have just quietly climbed on top of him…’ Even though I was regretting it, I was still going down.

Something with flowing black hair passed quickly through my straight field of vision.

“?”

I rubbed my eyes and looked ahead again to see something that clearly looked like a person running quickly.

“Everyone, what is that…?” “

When I turned my head, I felt an eerie feeling.

The companions disappeared.

Of course, Lesia and Tina were next to each other just a moment ago.

Dorothy and Brielle, who were leading the way, are missing.

“Hey… Priest. How did this happen… ?”

The only one left by my side is Saint Amelia.

I looked at her with her dumbfounded expression and then looked at her receding black hair.

I calmly used my head and sought a solution for the present.

Hmm… First of all, the saintess and I were suddenly separated from our companions, and in the meantime, something very suspicious was running away.

Then we have to catch the person who looks suspicious first, right?

I grabbed the saint’s wrist.

“Let’s grab that one first! “Holy woman, run!”

“Yes? Uh… Yes!”

I ran as fast as I could to prevent something suspicious from slipping out of my sight.

It may be speculation, but I think that black hair is the reason the saint and I were separated from her group.

There are some guesses based on pure intuition, but it is clear that at least it has something to do with this place.

The evidence is that the path it walks on was organized by human hands.

It is not a smooth road like the mountain path paved by the dwarves, but the path we are currently running on is definitely a path that has been touched by human hands.

‘The fact that you move so boldly as if you know where this road leads is suspicious.’

For that reason, there is no doubt that it at least knows something about this place.

I felt a sense of crisis while following the black head.

‘It’s not like they noticed our presence a long time ago and are leading us into a trap… ?’

It is not a possibility that cannot be denied at all.

I don’t know what the purpose of the being running ahead is, and it may have already sensed that we were chasing it.

But in the end, it is only a possibility.

Right now, there is a high possibility that our separation from our companions is related to the being in front of us, so we must hold on.

“Priest! “It suddenly disappeared!”

I stared ahead at the saint’s shout.

The black hair had disappeared from before us without us knowing when.

I missed the black hair because I was thinking about something else for a moment.

“Tch… “It is highly likely that we continued along this road, so let’s go!”

“Yes.”

How on earth is he so fast that he can evade my pursuit with an agility of 9?

It’s physically difficult to run for a long time, but I’m also quite fast…

As I followed the road, realizing that the black hair was very fast, a small village appeared.

“Priest, that is… “

It was a place the size of an ordinary mountain village.

It is an ordinary village with many small houses built in harmony with nature and crops planted in cultivated fields.

But being in an ordinary village is not an ordinary person.

Similar to the Tama I saw in the bathhouse yesterday, these beings have reptilian ears instead of human ears.

There are some differences, such as mouths, tails, nails, and wings, but their appearance is reminiscent of one thing.

In mythology, a being who brought destruction to this world.

A creature that ruled the continent before the emergence of the empire, and would dare to call it the sole tyrant in the world.

“Dragon… You probably didn’t hear it… ?”

This is a dragon transformed into human form.

“Write… wait a minute.”

I sat down without being able to answer the saint’s question.

How did this happen?

How did this really happen?

I was frustrated in front of the dragons, who were said to be the ultimate form of evolution for all species and equal to gods among living creatures.

I was knowledgeable and knew that dragons lived inside volcanoes.

But, obviously, the area where the dragons live and the area where the humans live are separated by a transparent barrier, so they won’t be able to enter.

How did we get in?

So, why am I walking along a mountain path and then I blink and find myself in the dragon’s territory…?

“Priest, I hear a familiar voice coming from within the village… ?”

“Yes? No way… “

While her head felt like it was going to explode due to the crazy developments, the saintess said something out of the blue.

I wonder if I hear a familiar voice in the dragon village where I came for the first time and didn’t even want to come.

I listened carefully to the voices coming from the village.

I can hear a voice mixed with a screeching sound as if questioning something, a voice refuting it, and the sound of someone sighing very softly next to me.

One of these voices is very familiar to us.

As far as I know, it’s the harsh, whistling voice of a crazy person on the same level as Tina.

It’s Poppy’s voice.

“……Poppy?”

Umm… Does it make sense for Poppy to be here?

No matter how dangerous that guy likes to explore, he’s going to enter the dragon village?

Just someone else’s voice… Ragien, who can produce a similar pronunciation that is unique to that nobleman?

As I was speechless in front of the village, the saint tapped her on the shoulder.

“It seems like there’s nothing we can do right now if we stay still, so let’s go in first… “

Well, it’s really scary, but it’s true.

We need to get out of this forest right now, but if we tremble in fear and don’t think about moving forward.

In the end, I can’t escape from this place.

I got up and shook my knees.

“First, let’s go to where Poppy is. If he is there, it seems like something will happen one way or another.”

“Yes, I like it. “I feel reassured when I’m with Mr. Bongpi.”

With a unified opinion, we went to the nearby place where we heard Poppy’s voice.

The place where the voice was heard seemed to be a blacksmith shop, as there was a furnace and anvil.

And there I was able to encounter an amazing sight.

“If you are good with gunpowder, you can do it! “Only you can make these guns and bullets!”

“It’s not like you can make something just by making noise! What is this strange blueprint in the first place? “You can’t make something like this!”

“Ugh… Crazy guy… “

A woman with pink hair wearing work clothes refuses while screaming.

If you look at the horns and tail, it’s probably a dragon.

And Poppy is the first human being to ask a dragon for a favor.

Mabel sighs as she looks at them.

It is truly a spectacle that makes you wonder if you will ever see such a scene in human history again.

“Huh? What are you guys? “How did you get in here?”

As we were looking at the spectacle for a while, Mabel spotted us.

I smiled awkwardly at Mabel and shook her hand.

“It’s been a while, Mabel. “How have you been?”

“I was doing okay… “No, more than that, how did you get here?”

I shed a few tears at Mabel’s question.

“We don’t know either… Please help me, Mabel… “

Those tears were tears of relief that I had met a trustworthy person in this forest.

The tears were mixed with relief that at least I wouldn’t die if I went around with them.
