Book 8: Chapter 55: Mage and Knight
“President Hulan, you didn’t tell us there were outsiders in the merchant caravan!” Robin and Stark looked displeased as they found the young nobleman at the rear of the caravan. The beautiful team leader pulled him aside and softly questioned him, “Who are they?”
Yesterday, both sides had felt very satisfied with the cooperation. But today, after the mercenary group joined the caravan, an unexpected situation arose that the Apostles hadn’t anticipated.
There were actually three “outsiders” in the nobleman’s caravan. These three were not the originally hired mercenaries of the caravan. Those mercenaries had suffered heavy casualties and, upon arriving here, lost the ability to continue guarding the caravan. After the caravan paid compensation and partial fees, they were sent away.
These three outsiders were a Red Robe Mage, his apprentice, and finally, a Female Knight. Although everyone kept their distance from these three, just from their attire and demeanor, one could tell at a glance they did not belong to the caravan.
“Oh, that’s Mage Angelo and his apprentice Elr. As for Idria…” The nobleman glanced at the Female Knight across from him, lowered his voice, and spoke with a very strange expression, “She is a trainee knight from the Loviatar Church, out traveling this time!”
“What about the Red Robe Mage and his apprentice? Who are they?” Robin frowned and asked.
Learning that the Female Knight was a church knight made her immediately lose interest. Church knights were mostly firm in faith and didn’t gossip. As long as they weren’t followers of the God of Murder, they basically wouldn’t threaten the envoys’ secret.
“Robin, wait! President Hulan, what did you just say the Female Knight was a trainee knight of?” Stark blinked and suddenly interjected.
“Idria is a follower of Lady Loviatar…” The nobleman, however, seemed to find Stark’s question natural.
