This adventurer is overly righteous.

Chapter 100 Did I do something wrong?

"it's over.

'

For Lillian, today's experience was naturally quite unusual. Yesterday, the guy who seemed to be trying to steal her dog came with two priests and searched the kennel and their living quarters from top to bottom. Her first reaction was to resist, but reason stopped her.

That guy named Kroya, with his incredibly fair skin, seems to have quite a background...

Although Lillian was born into a tribe in the North, she did a lot of research before this trip and learned about the kingdom called the Netherlands.

Here, you cannot provoke nobles, adventurers' guilds, or priests. You must respect them as you would a chief, since, according to the tribes, the entire kingdom is their hunting ground, and they are the true masters.

Therefore, when the two people following Kroya, along with himself, used divine magic that could only be used by priests, Lillian knew that any resistance would only make her crime worse.

After all, she had witnessed firsthand in court yesterday how much those people favored Kroya.

He looked just like the son of some tribal chief or shaman, alas, making her envious and jealous.

"That's right, it's over." After opening the last box in the room and casting a purification spell inside, Kroya and the other two priests confirmed that there was no remaining evil power in the room, it was quite safe, and there was no curse or anything like that.

  

"This is for security reasons, but it has indeed been quite a hassle—" Kroya scratched his head. He could see that Lillian's expression was somewhat subtle. Although she maintained a cold expression, a closer look revealed quite a few subtle movements, suggesting a rich inner world. "Now, please answer some questions. It will be over soon."

The two then sat facing each other, and the two priests each went outside; their presence would put pressure on Lillian.

"We can confirm that the lead dog you speak of has indeed transformed into an evil creature, and you and your companions were completely unaware of this beforehand?"

Kroya inquired, knowing that the girl in front of him was naturally fine, but he wondered if her other two companions were involved with her.

"This dog was born in the tribe; I was there when it was born," Lillian answered honestly, harboring a slight fear of Kroya. "Well, I did feel something was off about it before, probably on the way here. One time, my brother and Gus took it hunting, and when I went to feed it on the way back, I felt its eyes had become very strange..."

""

However, it was only a minor change, so none of the three paid much attention to it. Only after they were certain that there was something wrong with the dog did Lillian realize that there might be a secret hidden in it.

"That thing must have some kind of purpose in infiltrating the pack of dogs." Kroya felt a little sorry for the few who had been accidentally caught up in the plan, but then comforted them, "However, we have already discovered him in advance, so we will do our best to ensure your safety."

That's a bit strange...

Lillian thought to herself.

For Lillian, strangers are not trustworthy. In the frozen land where she was born, most people living in a tribe are related by blood. Because they have lived together since childhood and have blood ties, they can trust and help each other.

The Northland is a region of scarce resources, and conflicts between various tribes occur frequently. Strangers often mean that the other party comes from another tribe, representing a potential enemy who may harm one's body or seize one's resources.

Being shown concern by strangers and being told they would do their best to ensure your safety made Lillian feel quite strange. She had been surprised by many strange things since arriving in White Rock Town, but this was the only thing she couldn't understand.

Is this your job?

It's probably like a tribal chief protecting his subordinates, or a mother wolf protecting her cubs—but they don't concern themselves with things that don't concern them. Lillian guessed that the other party could make money this way.

"Do I need to pay?" she wondered again. The phrase "forced sale" came to mind; perhaps this was a scam specifically targeting outsiders like them...

After all, trespassing into another tribe's hunting grounds would result in being treated with hostility.

"It's just mutual care and help." Kroya noticed several subtle changes in Lillian's expression in an instant, and he had a feeling that this guy seemed to be thinking something strange. "Besides, maintaining the order of White Rock Town is also my responsibility."

""

Although it was indeed a troublesome matter that had nothing to do with him, Croya felt that he couldn't ignore it, and on the bright side, he could consider it as eliminating a future threat.

You possess a passionate heart, and the gods rejoice in this.

[The effect of divine favor has been slightly improved.]

And God also thought it was the right thing to do.

Since that's the case, we can't give up just because it's too much trouble.

So what if it's someone I have no connection with? So what if things are complicated? I was able to save Logan back then, so how can I back down now? If I can help, if I can save, then I will do it, without regret, without wavering!

"Are you one of the judge's men?" Lillian asked, vividly remembering the judge's favoritism towards Kroya.

"No." Kroya shook his head. "You can think of me as a volunteer, someone who helps others voluntarily without receiving payment."

""

"Then I definitely won't volunteer anymore." Lillian thought to herself, this was all very troublesome, and there were more and more things that puzzled her. Fortunately, it didn't cause any more trouble. Since the other party wanted to help her, she could just accept it without any guilt. She didn't want to think about why Kroya did this.

"I need to leave for a while. The other two priests will keep watch near your residence. When your companions return, they will check their bodies to make sure they are not tainted by evil forces, and also take care of the dog."

Kroya walked to the door, bowed to the two priests to express his gratitude, and after exchanging pleasantries, Kroya took out two gold coins and gave them to each of them as a token of his thanks. The two priests accepted the coins, and their smiles became more genuine.

Kroya then decided to return to Logan's house to see if Logan had gained anything. Logan was slightly surprised by Kroya's quick arrival, and then told Kroya in detail everything he had heard from Perry, including his complaints about Perry and letting her go to the Adventurers' Guild.

Did I do something wrong?

"But then Logan suddenly realized that Kroya might not agree with his actions. If it were Kroya, he would probably try to stop Perry, explain the pros and cons to him, and stop his actions. Logan had some dark thoughts in his mind. He had to admit that he really wanted to teach Perry a big lesson, which scared him."

"It's not exactly wrong, but I feel I could have done better."

"But what's done is done, so don't dwell on it too much..."

"Kroya reassured Logan. He wouldn't demand that his friend act like him. Everyone has a dark side, which can cause them to make mistakes unintentionally. This shouldn't lead to a big fight between Kroya and Logan. One should be patient with friends."

After all, Kroya wasn't Logan. He had never communicated with Perry, nor had he ever had any grudges against him. He couldn't put himself in Logan's shoes, nor could he truly understand the anger and resentment Logan felt at the time. So what right did he have to criticize Logan for not doing a good enough job?

This made Logan breathe a sigh of relief.

Your tolerance and generosity towards your friends are commendable qualities.

[Defense slightly increased]

"We need to think about what to do next."
