I like traveling the most

The mouth of the bag is now wide open.

The upper half of the woman's body was exposed, and her blue eyes were hollow and dull. The messy hair that reaches her shoulders has become dry and broken due to malnutrition.

His face was beaten and swollen like a ball.

The dead tree-like skin is covered with countless light red spots the size of fingernails, and the dry and thin body has not even a drop of life left.

This is already a corpse.

Of course, she hadn't died yet, and the hand holding onto Sebastian's trousers was the best evidence. But can a being who can only breathe really be said to be alive?

"Can you please let me go?"

The woman had no reaction to Sebastian's words.

You can tell at a glance that she is not pretending not to hear, because due to the swelling of her eyes and face, she can only open a line, as if she is looking into the sky and sees nothing in her cloudy pupils.

Sebas only had to move his feet to easily shake off the fingers that were thinner than a dead branch. But he did not do this, but continued to ask: "Have you encountered difficulties, if that's the case..."

"Hey, old man! Where are you from!"

A deep and fierce voice interrupted him.

The man appeared from behind the door. He had a bulging chest and two thick arms. He was holding a lantern that glowed red. There were old scars on his face showing obvious hostility. He stared at Sebas fiercely—— This uninvited guest appeared out of nowhere.

At the same time, a killing intent emerged not far behind him.

What a headache. Has it taken too long?

Sebastian stroked his beard in distress. However, he also discovered that the target of the uncontrollable killing intent in the distance was not him, but this fierce man.

The reason...is currently unknown.

"Old man, what are you looking at?" The man deliberately stuttered and said coldly, "Get out of here, old man. I can let you go now."

But the old housekeeper didn't move. When the man saw this, he took a step forward. The door closed with a heavy sound behind him, and he deliberately and slowly put the lantern at his feet.

Gently turning his shoulders and thick neck, he raised his right hand and clenched his fist. It was obvious that he would not show mercy when using violence.

Sebastian smiled deeply.

It was a smile that could make people feel extremely reassuring and kind, but for some reason, the man felt as if a powerful carnivorous beast had appeared in front of him, so he took a step back.

"You're deaf...oh, what are you doing-"

The man who was shocked by the smile, words that didn't form sentences leaked out of his mouth. He didn't even notice that his breathing became heavier, and just wanted to continue to retreat.

Sebas put the scroll with the mark of the Mages Guild in his hand into his arms, then took just one step to close the distance with the man and at the same time stretched out his hand.

The man didn't even have time to react to the lightning-fast movement and let out an unseemly whimper. Taking this as a signal, Sebastian stretched out his hand to grab the man's shirt and easily lifted the man's body up. .

If anyone witnessed this scene, they would probably think it was a joke.

Judging from the appearance and characteristics, Sebastian has no chance of winning compared to men. Regardless of age, chest muscles, thick arms, height, weight, and the violent aura he exudes.

However, such an old man who looks like a gentleman can lift a heavyweight strong man with one hand.

No, that's not the case.

If you watch it with your own eyes, you may be able to keenly feel the gap between the two. Although humans are inferior in biological intuition-beast intuition, they must still be able to understand it when faced with unquestionable deviations.

The evidence is that the breathing of the person hiding in the dark became as rapid as that of the man who was caught by his clothes.

The difference between Sebastian and men is——

The difference between the strong and the weak.

The man who was lifted completely off the ground swung his feet and twisted his body. When he tried to grab Sebastian's arm with both arms, he seemed to realize something, and fear began to hide in his eyes.

The man finally realized that useless resistance would only make the monster in front of him even more angry.

"What is she?"

The calm voice broke into the ears of the man who was gradually stiffening due to fear. The voice was like a clear and quiet spring. It was completely incompatible with the situation of a man being easily lifted with one hand, and it was even more frightening.

"She, she is an employee of our store."

The man tried his best to answer in a voice that sounded like he was walking away from fear.

Sebastian responded with silence.

It was not a deliberate attempt to exert pressure, but to use people hiding in the dark to judge whether the man who was caught by his clothes was lying. The response given to him was even more angry.

Like someone hiding in the darkness, Sebas said: "I asked you what she is, and your answer is employee?"

"Ugh!"

The man's wide-open eyes kept moving like a timid little animal, thinking whether he had said something wrong. However, in this case, this should be the closest to the correct answer.

Sebastian thought of his companions at the Great Tomb.

"It's nothing. It's just that some of my companions see humans as things, so I thought you also saw people as things, because if you have this concept, it means you don't feel that you are doing bad things. But you The answer is an employee, which means that when you do this, you treat her as an adult, right? So let me ask again, what are you going to do with her next?”

The man whose fate was grabbed by the throat thought.

As if he heard a squeezing sound, Sebastian's arms tightened even more, and the man suddenly became breathless. This action means not giving you time to think about it.

"She, she is sick, so I want to take her to the temple for treatment. Let me go quickly!"

"I don't really like hearing lies."

"Pfft!"

Even without the lie detector behind him, Sebastian could easily conclude from his reaction that this sentence was a lie. The strength of his arms increased again in anger, and the man's entire face suddenly turned red, and he let out a strange wail.

To take a step back, it would be fine to tolerate the act of putting people in bags and transporting them, but when the man threw the bag into the alley, he did not feel at all the tenderness of taking the patient to the temple for treatment. It was simply throwing away Rubbish.

"Stop...Gah..."

The man had difficulty breathing and his life was beginning to be in danger. He kicked and kicked desperately.

Sebas easily blocked the punch flying toward his face with one hand, and his kicking feet bumped into his body and stained his clothes, but he remained motionless.

Of course, how could it be possible for human feet to kick a huge steel plate? Sebastian couldn't even feel any pain.

"I advise you to be honest."

"Gah——"

Looking up at the bloodshot and red face of the man who couldn't breathe at all, Sebastian narrowed his eyes and saw the moment when the man was about to lose consciousness completely. He let go of his hand and dropped it to the ground with a loud thud.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!"

The man turned the last remaining air in his lungs into a scream and spit it out, then greedily sucked in oxygen and made bursts of sizzling sounds.

Sebas looked down at him without saying a word, and then reached out again to strangle his destiny.

"Wait...please, please wait!"

The man who had personally experienced the fear of hypoxia endured the pain and rolled away from Sebastian's hand.

"I-I was going to take her to the temple!"

Still lying.

I didn't expect my spirit to be so strong.

Sebastian had thought that men would be afraid of pain or death and would immediately inflict it on them. However, the man was just scared, but he didn't look like he wanted to tell the truth right away. In other words, the danger of leaking information is comparable to Sebastian's threats.

Should we change our attack methods?

But this is the enemy's position, and there are hidden dangers behind him. Moreover, the man did not ask for help from behind the door, which means that he does not expect anyone to come to rescue him immediately.

That being said, staying here for an extended period of time will only cause more trouble.

"If you want to take her to the temple, I can take her there, and I will protect her safety."

"Wait, wait... No one can guarantee that you will really take her there."

"Then you can come along."

"I have something to do and I can't go now."

The man saw something from Sebastian's expression, and continued impatiently: "That legally belongs to us. If you want to interfere, you will violate the laws of this country! Take her away if you have the guts. Well, you are kidnapping!"

Sebastian frowned.

The man hit him where it hurt the most.

Although the master said that he could make a certain degree of conspicuous action when love was absolutely necessary, but that was only when it was necessary to pretend to be a rich lady and a butler.

Behavior that violates royal laws and is subject to judicial investigation, or even being exposed and pretending to cause serious trouble will definitely make the owner unhappy.

Sebastian didn't think this vulgar man had much knowledge, but he spoke with confidence. Someone must have taught him some legal knowledge. Thinking about it this way, his plausibility may be well-founded.

What should I do, should I kill him here?

No, there are pretenders following behind, which may expose you, so you can't use it unless absolutely necessary. In this case, is it the right behavior to ignore this woman until she dies? The man's obscene laughter annoyed the hesitant Sebastian.

"As a loyal butler, can I cause trouble without telling my master?"

The man asked with a smile.

Sebastian frowned visibly for the first time. Perhaps the man found a weakness in his attitude.

"I see, this will indeed cause legal trouble. However, there is also a law that stipulates that only when the person seeks help, the person can be forcibly rescued without being punished. I just helped her based on this. First of all, she is now I’m not conscious, so I have to go to the temple for treatment, right?”

"Well... this, this..."

The man muttered the words in a troubled manner.

Such poor acting skills and slow reactions made Sebastian sigh in relief.

He told a huge lie.

It's just because the other party used royal methods to suppress others, so I also used some big principles. If the other party continues to refute the king's law, even if it is just a lie, Sebastian, who doesn't know much about the concept of the king's law in this kingdom, will probably be unable to reply.

As a result, because the man did not have a deep understanding of the law and only learned it now, he was unable to see through Sebastian's lies.

It’s great that the other person is a dork.

After driving the man out of sight, Sebas picked up the woman's head and asked, "Do you want me to save you?"

Then he put his ear close to the woman's chapped lips, and heard the faint sound of breathing in his ears. No, it was like the sound made by a shriveled balloon releasing its last bit of air. Could it really be considered breathing?

No response.

Sebastian shook his head slightly from side to side, and then asked again without giving up.

"Do you want me to save you?"

Still no response.

The man smiled smugly. He knew what kind of hell the woman had been in. Of course he would laugh at her. Otherwise, why would he throw her out and abandon her?

However, faintly——

The woman's lips moved faintly. It was not a natural movement of breathing, but an action that made people clearly feel her will.

"..."

Hearing this, the old housekeeper nodded once: "I don't want to help people who can only pray for someone to save themselves, like plants bathing in the sweet dew from heaven. But...weakness is the struggle to survive...Forget fear, rest, you are under my protection."

Stretch out your hand and move slowly, covering the woman's eyes. As if leaning on the kind and warm touch, the woman closed her cloudy eyes.

The unbelievable man blurted out: "You lied...!" I didn't hear any sound at all!

The man was about to resist, but froze in place.

At some point, Sebastian had stood up, his dangerous eyes stopped the man's breathing, and he said in a cold voice: "You said, I'm lying? Do you think I would lie for someone like you?"

"Ah, no, ah..."

The man's throat was clenched, and he gurgled and swallowed the saliva accumulated in his mouth.

"Then I'll take this person away."

"Wait, wait! No, please wait!"

"Anything else, want to buy time?"

"No, no! If you take her away, things will get very bad, and you and your master will get into trouble! You should have heard of Eight Fingers, right? So, please pretend that you didn't see anything, okay? If you take her away, I will fail at work and will be punished!"

The man knew that he couldn't win by brute force, so he begged with a flattering face. Sebastian looked at him coldly and said with the same cold disdain:

"I'm going to take her away."

"Please, I'll die!"

The man kept crying.

Just kill him... Sebastian began to calculate the gains and losses, but he finally held back from following him secretly.

"Use this to hire adventurers or something, and run away desperately."

Sebastian took out the leather bag.

The next moment, the man's eyes were fixed on the coins scattered on the ground in the alley. Seeing the silver-like brilliance, the man's eyes were straight.

That was the universal platinum coin!

There were ten coins with a value ten times that of the gold coins rolling on the road!

"Run away with all your strength, understand?"

"I, I..."

Sebastian didn't wait for the man to answer, he picked up the woman and walked out of the alley.

The night was completely dark.

In the dark alley, it was pitch dark at this time.

Sebastian's thoughts were scattered.

Saving this woman was completely different from helping the old lady. He wanted to help others within his ability, but saving this woman might cause great trouble. Would this be forgiven by the Supreme Being? Wouldn't this behavior go against the wishes of the adults?

A cold wind blew, and Sebastian calmed down, and his mood also cooled down.

Then, the shadow under his feet swayed slightly.

"I see, is that man dead... Although he was asked to hire adventurers with money, there is nothing he can do if he died before hiring. The murderer is... Is this pattern from the Axis Church? Then it seems that the person following me is from the Axis Church. Was he sent by Mr. Lin?"

Thinking of the two people's actions to help the old lady just now, he knew that if Lin was here, he would definitely do the same thing.

Does that mean that he is recognized by Lin?

That's right, even if the Supreme Being does not forgive him, he is satisfied to have a companion on the road of justice.

So Sebastian's steps became more firm.
