The Death Knight Became an Escort Knight for the Saintess

71. Caravel Ships, Frigates

71.

The road to get the barrels to the ship was quite long. It was because, in order to avoid the crackdown on illegally monopolizing alcoholic beverages, the elves chose to go round to the place where the ship was tied up. So even though she was carrying only one basket containing six bottles of wine, she felt as though she was about to fall over if she misplaced her feet.

Celia got goosebumps from the soles of her feet with each step she took. Then she would absolutely not, but she wanted to curse with such intensity that the road to the ship was so long.

She’s doing nothing but ‘illegal’ right now!

As Celia stepped out, she decided not to think about the matter any longer. The more she thought about it, the more likely she would pass out at any moment. However, the road to where the ship was located was long for her, and it was inevitable that she would become distraught every time she walked. In the end Celia was crying and she had to ask the elf a question.

“I… Elf… Seed… ?”

“Huh? Why?”

“That… When will the ship arrive… ?”

“We are almost there. Still, this is pretty quick. Originally it took longer than this. This time, Mr. Lee is strong, so I think he will move it all soon.”

Seeing the elf pointing with her chin at Zer Peed, who was holding two large kegs, one in each hand, right next to her saintess, Esilia let out a sigh of relief inside her. Rested Now, in a little while, you can get out of this ‘illegal act’. While feeling so relieved, Celia suddenly realized something.

It seems that ‘everything’ will be moved soon… ? So what we’re moving now is… ?

“Everything… I think everything will be moved… ?”

“Eh. I have to move all the things in that warehouse earlier.”

There were a total of four buildings in the place where she met the elf. Then, how many more times will I have to repeat this “Illegal act”… ….

Cilia finally burst into tears.

–

“A priest?”

“Ugh… yes….”

As Celia watched herself burying her face in her lap, she pursed her lips at the sight of her elf grinning. Ecilia didn’t like her elf expression. Her saintly expression went beyond protruding her lips, and her cheeks became fuller. Seeing that, the elf laughed even louder.

“What about this? No matter how clergy you are, if you can’t move all of this, you won’t be able to get on my boat, right?”

“Gemini, if you are tired, please rest. I will move everything.”

“Oh, no. Knight. I can move too.”

Ecilia hurriedly dissuaded Zer Peed from reaching for the basket she was holding, and pulled the basket she was holding toward her. She couldn’t make the knight with both hands full of trouble any longer. Of course, the knight is very strong, so he might not feel particularly uncomfortable. She didn’t want to put her burden on him though.

Cilia lifted her hips from where she was sitting and shook her head. She then tightened her hand that held her basket, her eyes widening with determination. Ecilia took her step with briskness.

It was the moment when the saintess broke her way.

–

When the saintess finally moved all her wine from her storehouse, Celia lay flat on the deck of her ship and gasped for breath. She said that all she did was carry her basket three times, but her saintly body and mind were exhausted beyond words.

… It was a very strange feeling.

While she’s coming this far, her hands holding her basket are sweaty, her steps are as heavy as if she’s hanging on to a huge boulder, her heart keeps beating and her throat is dripping with saliva. It was swallowed gulp.

The saintess had a similar experience once. She was right before she entered the Mage Tower. The voice was still as vivid to the saintess as it had happened a few seconds ago.

‘Bitch.’

Pounding.

Pounding.

Ecilia jumped up to her body. Her heart beats like crazy. Other people may not even know they can hear it. Contrary to her noisy heart, her saintess’ head was quiet. For she had only one voice resounding.

‘Bitch.’

‘No! No! What am I thinking…… ! Well, at that time, the driver couldn’t help it either… ! Yep! I’m never like this… ! It’s not such a bad thing… !!!’

Gulp – .

‘Bitch.’

“Esilia.”

“Ughhhhh-?!”

Celia thought her heart was jumping out of her body. The saintess raised her head with her body shrunken. Her zerf ed was on her knees right in front of her own, staring blankly at her with her surprised look on her face. The sound of laughter coming from beside her made her turn her head. Her elf was watching her, holding her belly button and rolling across her deck.

The Death Knight raised her body and supported her saintess. Then he whispered softly to her.

“Ecilia, are you okay? No matter how many times I call, there is no answer…….”

Only then did the saintess know what had happened. When she called her name, she didn’t respond, so the knight came closer and whispered her real name.

…… Coincidentally, the timing coincided exactly with when she thought of ‘the word’. It’s like she affirmed herself that she is, she is a bitch.

-Kolkkak – .

No. It’s just a coincidence. She said to herself, calming her pounding heart.

‘I, myself… Say… Are you affirmative? It can’t be. That’s right, it can’t be…. I’m so bad… Say… Positive… I can’t…….’

“Esilia?”

“Ah?! Yes yes?!”

“Isn’t that really good?”

When her saintess didn’t answer again, Jer P. Ed asked her with a slight furrow between her brows. Esilia was surprised and excited. The Death Knight’s forehead furrowed even more. Esilia steadied her breath at the death knight’s appearance and nodded her head vigorously.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. But what, what are you doing?”

“I was going to say that it is difficult to leave right now.”

Said Zer Pi Ed, glancing at her elf with her chin. The elf nodded her head.

“The waves are strong right now, so it might capsize if we start. As you can see, my boat faces the waves head-on, which is not very good.”

Esilia looked around at the elf’s ship tied at the corner of the harbor. She did as he said. The elf’s ship was a small caravel, different from Panbano’s ship. Just looking at it, it seemed to be agile rather than floating in the sea for a long time, and it seemed that the main purpose was to move. Ecilia said.

“Your stomach looks very sleek.”

Hearing that, the elf smiled broadly. It was a smile that made me feel satisfied just by looking at it, different from the sloppy laughter that I had shown before.

“The priestess has eyes to see! Right, looks great, doesn’t it? That’s right. Honestly, you can’t help but admire my belly? A small but strong player… A mast that flows gently with the wind…. Would I have put my name on this ship if it looked really cool?”

Escelia said she never said she was good looking, she just said she was sleek looking.

“What is your name?”

“I told you, my name.”

“… Uh, didn’t you tell me?”

The elf looked at Ecilia and Zerfied alternately with a puzzled expression.

“I didn’t tell you.”

When even Zerfied said that, the elf’s face showed even stronger embarrassment.

“You mean Voltley didn’t tell me my name? Weren’t you friends with the Voltries?”

“Uh, yes? No, that’s right, but…….”

Esilia was the one who was taken aback by the elf’s question this time. It was at this point that Celia realized that Mr. Ball Tree had not told her friend’s name. If you don’t tell me the name, it will be hard to find. What Mr. Voltry left behind was just a map of where he was. If the elf had not revealed himself, he might have been impossible to find.

“You bastard Voltley… You must have known that I still sell alcohol to buy food….”

Zer Pied nodded slowly at those words. In any case, the elf was a person who traded alcohol illegally, and in this situation, if a stranger approached him openly calling out his name, he would have no choice but to be suspicious. If that happened, it would be a very unwelcome situation for the Death Knight and the saintess. Death Knight expressed his gratitude to Voltree for preparing for such a situation.

“Frigit. That’s my name And that’s the name of my ship.”

Frey Git still couldn’t erase his puzzled expression, he scratched the back of his head and told them. While the three of them were talking, the waves were calmer than before. Seeing that, Zerfied said.

“The waves have calmed down. It looks like she can start off soon.”

“Oh, not yet. It’s night now. We’ll go deeper, then we’ll start at dawn.”

At Zer Pi Ed’s words, Frey Git shrugged his shoulders and pulled out the cork from one of the bottles on the floor.

“Is there a reason?”

“Soon it will be pirate time.”
