Chapter 49 Unexpected Turn part 3
Raga now distraught seeing has this wasn't part of his original plan.
(Dammit this wasn't not part of our plan, my original plan was come back with Chief poison and weaken. Using his forbidden crest as an excuse, they could have brushed it off as a hard battle if I hadn't shown mine blade. What's more the Chief's knocked out so no one knows the true ability of my weapon… think, I can still go around this).
"Interesting a poison dagger made out of your own blood, now that's the darkest like of craftsmanship. But still craftsmanship none of the less" Lieg said while playing with the blade behind Raga.
(Sfx Twitch)
Raga had just realize the blade had left his hand, turning his head behind where he stood taking his eyes from the villagers to Lieg now holding said blade in his hand.
"B…but how… when",
"Hey I like drama just as much as anyone else but right now I am honestly tired" as he precedes to yawn out loud.
"So let's get this over with",
Raga now nervous of the situation he's in looking back at the villagers.
(They're all staring at me now, and not in the way I intended when I came back) Raga thought then he heard,
"Did you say poison?" Asked Bao.
"Wait no I didn't do anything it was his crest he overuse his Crest look at his arm" he pointed to where the chief body would be found on the floor where you left it while staring at the villagers.
But all he could hear from the villagers were,
"I've never seen the old man move so fast",
"He was hiding his true power all alone pretending to be weak",
"But didn't we decided that we would talk with the chief to negotiate a power transfer, then why did the Chief have to go so far as to even use his crest" one of the men from his group said.
"Yes, yes that's right he was angry that I was challenging his authority and he attacked me but I defend myself, and he did used his crest got himself killed" Raga Replied.
"Bullshit!, the chief wouldn't have just attack you", "Yeah, why would you need to carry a poison dagger with you to have a peaceful negotiation" added Bao and a few others.
"What's wrong with you guys, you're just going to listen to whatever this guy says. I'm trying to find a way to keep us all alive, me a senior member of this Village I've lived longer than most of you guys combined how dare you question my loyalty to this Village and to my best friend" Raga asked.
(Sfx Whistle)
"Well that was something… an absolutely beautiful speech you got there, but if it's a question on your loyalty don't you think we should ask the source" Lieg replied as Raga turned around.
"Well that is the plan we're going to have to take him to the Holy Kingdom, only they have healers strong enough to help him and if we don't get to them soon we might even be too late".
(Sfx twitch)
His lower jaw became loose, his eyes open wide, sweat started to perfuse all over as he then heard
"I'm touch you care so much for my health old friend".
Has he was immediately punched with a solid iron straight right hook to the face, sending his body straight into one of the buildings, as the crowd attention when towards where Raga landed it was Pai still on Ulia's shoulder shouted
"Granduncle chief".
As everyone turns their head toward where Raga was standing, with his fist still clench and a boastful grin on his face was The Chief El Tetso still in the same position that he punch Raga in, standing right where Lieg was.
"You sly fox". "I honestly wasn't expecting to be poisoned just so you can take control of my village". As the dust settles with everyone covering their face as the derbies had flown all over the place, "God damn!… I said pay him back for everything he did to you not murdered old man" said Lieg to Tetso.
"Exactly and the bitch still owes me" Tetso replied teeth still shining with a smile,
(Sfx Yawn)
"Although I wanted to end this as quickly as possible… I was curious about one thing, why was Obi able to use semi deacon level holy Magic without a transmitter. How stupid was, I to believe that was actually true, right Elika?" Asked Lieg.
Has the dust settles showing her covered in a white Holy Aura standing over Raga,
"So I'm assuming you are the 'gift' from the church, all for the people from this Village to go over to their side" asked Lieg.
"I would remind you not to use that word so likely, you and I both know the term gift for the Holy Kingdom as a whole other meaning than anywhere else. And while I am originally from the Holy Kingdom, I am not a tool to be use, I simply follow the Lord's Creed and do his wishes without question which is what brought me to my husband" she replied.
As has she then clasp your hands together, pouring all the holy aura that engulfed her body straight between her palms as she chants "Prie le Seigneur pour qu'il guérisse tes blessures: holy Magic level one, Grâce de guérison" sending the shot holy magic into the direction of both Raga and Obi.
Lieg yawned and thought to himself,
(There we go that explains a lot, while it is possible for a person who drinks from the holy fountain maintain oh holy energy for months after. The likelihood of someone carrying out the deacon level power off without the transmitter, is extremely low. If I remember correctly she is his wife I wasn't aware that she wasn't born in this Village so she's the transmitter, pure born from the Holy Kingdom).
As she slowly faints falling down to the ground from mana overuse, she was caught right before reaching the floor by Raga,
"Thank you my dear, I will accept the blessings of the Lord and be grateful for it" he said.
"G…gramps?" Hoku who slowly regained consciousness during Raga return with the chief,
"What's going on… you poison the chief, you knew that she was a holy agent, have you been working with the church all this time, is that why you're trying to get us to disobey the chief's orders and go to the Holy Kingdom" without getting an answer for the first he just kept asking more and more questions the more he thought back about it the more questions he had.
Then over where Obi was thrown, everyone heard someone in pain said "Raga… the deal's… off".
