After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

I'm afraid that before long, she won't be able to pick up the sword as she pleases anymore.

Because, soon she would be bound to that house forever by a force more powerful than her current self.

Like a canary trapped in a cage, losing its freedom forever.

Just like his father, he was forced to shoulder all the responsibilities of the family.

So, at least until then, I have to protect Candice well.

To protect this sister who is a little self-deprecating and weak, whom she has always wanted.

It is for this reason that she cares so much about Murphy after hearing what Candice was thinking.

It is also for this reason that her brain seems to be broken when it comes to Candice's issues.

The reason why Old Jed said that she had fallen into the misunderstanding caused by excessive concern was the same.

Because she no longer had time to waste, this heavy feeling of anxiety was always weighing on her, making her breathless.

So even though she herself felt that there was nothing wrong with what Murphy said, she still couldn't believe him easily.

She had to see with her own eyes what kind of guy this man who Candice fell in love with was.

Because she was a little afraid that after she left Candice, she would be deceived by some strange man.

but......

If everything they say is true and not a fake scam.

If Murphy is really a guy who did not deceive Candice and is quite capable.

Then I'll just ask him for help.

Please ask him to take good care of Candice and not let her down.

Please ask him to protect her on your behalf and keep her from getting hurt.

After all, he was the one who could rescue Candice from the dragon.

Thinking of this, she took the initiative to speak to Murphy.

"How long do we have to wait?"

After hearing Filia's question, Murphy thought about what Gralin said to her.

Then he answered.

"It should be a few days. That's what the blacksmith told me."

"Okay, then... three days later? Is that okay?"

Murphy thought about it and felt that three days should be enough.

So he nodded to Filia and said.

"Then let's do it at noon three days from now. The location will still be here. After all, I don't want too many people to know about this."

"so be it."

"Hey, hey, I haven't agreed to lend you the place yet."

When Murphy heard that Old Jed suddenly showed up to mess things up, she couldn't help but laugh.

Then he responded in the same humorous tone.

"Don't say such depressing things at a time like this."

Murphy knew that Old Jed suddenly ran out just to ease the atmosphere and prevent the situation from being too awkward.

Because, although Murphy and Filia looked like they were discussing something just now, what they were discussing was a duel after all.

That was a real duel with real guns and swords, the kind where people could die if they were not careful.

In addition, after Murphy and Filia discuss the time and place, they will definitely fall into an awkward silence because they have no topics to talk about.

So, Old Jed used this method to break the silence that was bound to occur soon.

"If there's nothing else, then Miss Filia, shouldn't you leave?"

After breaking the awkwardness, Old Jed turned his head directly to Filia and ordered her to leave.

After all, Murphy came here at this time, he must have something to ask me.

Besides, I was indeed a little greedy for that half bottle of wine.

Therefore, the sooner Filia leaves here, the sooner he can drink the wine and the sooner he can understand the reason why Murphy came here.

After hearing what Old Jed said, Filia nodded, because she and Murphy had already agreed on the time and place for the duel.

So, she didn't want to stay here and waste time anymore.

She was now going back to Candice and going on one last adventure with her.

"Then I'll go first. Thank you Mr. Gerald for your advice."

"And Mr. Murphy, thank you for agreeing to my unreasonable request."

Filia sincerely thanked Old Jed and Murphy, then turned and left.

Murphy and Old Jed nodded at her and watched her leave.

After Filia's back completely disappeared around the corner of the alley, Old Jed walked to the box, lifted the rag and took out the half bottle of wine from it.

Then he walked to his seat, sat down, and waved to Murphy.

"Come and sit down, let's taste this bottle of wine you gave me."

After hearing what Old Jed said, Murphy nodded at him.

Then, she walked to his side and sat down.

"Well, actually, that's why I came here this time."

Chapter 17 Please

"Actually, that's why I came here this time."

Murphy said as she walked over and sat down next to Old Jed.

"This thing? Which thing?"

Old Jed placed the wine between the two of them and asked with some confusion.

Because he didn't understand what Murphy just said. It seemed like he didn't say anything just now?

It can't be this bottle of wine?

"It's about this bottle of wine."

"..."

After hearing Murphy's words, Old Jed was stunned. He didn't expect that the answer he just thought of was actually the correct answer.

But after listening to it, he became even more confused.

After all, it's just a bottle of wine. Even if something happened, it's not worth making a separate trip. You can't say that this wine has anything to do with the goddess.

Besides, it was Murphy who gave him the wine.

Now you're talking about the wine, you can't possibly want to take it back, right?

That was definitely impossible. After all, he knew in his heart that Murphy was not such a stingy person.

"This is a myth I heard from a dwarven blacksmith...Is it a myth?"

"Oh, that's the dwarf I mentioned before who took half of the bottle of wine."

"Hey, this is really interesting. What kind of myths can there be about wine?"

Old Jed knew who the dwarf Murphy was talking about. After all, he had already investigated his life experience before accepting him as his disciple.

However, he still didn't care about it.

After all, it's just a decent-tasting bottle of wine.

Looking at Old Jed's indifferent expression, Murphy didn't care and just nodded his head.

Then, he slowly told Old Jed the story he had heard from Gralin before.

-------------------------------------

"..."

"No, that's all."

Old Jed pondered the story between wine and oracle that Murphy had just told him.

Of course he didn't believe it.

He could also roughly guess the origin of this so-called myth: it was probably someone who couldn't drink much and drank this kind of wine, and then had auditory hallucinations after getting drunk.

Then, fearing embarrassment, he made up a story about how he heard an oracle after drinking the wine.

"Although this story sounds a bit far-fetched, there's no need for you to come all the way to my place just for something you know is made up, right?"

Old Jed scratched his head and asked Murphy the question in his heart.

He really didn't think Murphy should make a special trip for something like this.

Murphy shook his head and did not directly answer Old Jed's question, but continued.

"Of course I know this story is false."

"But don't you think the idea of ​​becoming a god is...interesting?"

"..."

After hearing what Murphy said, Old Jed suddenly reacted.

What is important is not the bottle of wine, nor the "oracle" in the story.

But it is the "method to become a god" in the "Oracle".

Looking at Old Jed, who seemed to realize something, Murphy nodded at him and continued.

"The idea of ​​becoming a god definitely cannot appear out of thin air."

"That's what I said, but I don't know much about this either. It's no use asking me."

Old Jed didn't lie, he really didn't know about this matter.

Because, although he is indeed the local boss of Border Lars, he also knows a lot of things.

However, secrets like "becoming a god" hidden in the deepest part of the world are not something that an old gangster like him can access.

At this moment, he saw Murphy nodded at him.

"I know you don't understand, Master, so I hope you can pay a little attention to these things in your daily life."

"After all, you have your own intelligence network, so you must be able to get information much faster than me."

"If I'm going to get my 'rats' busy just for something as vague as this, then am I still in my position as the leader?"

"Rats" is what Old Jed calls his men. Most of them are street thugs, beggars or other low-class people.

And in this border town of Lars, there are countless "rats" living there. They are the eyes and ears of Old Jed.

In fact, Old Jed didn't want to refuse his apprentice's request, but it was indeed unrealistic to inquire about such things.

After all, Murphy and I are still far from reaching that highest level.

Therefore, if you spend a lot of manpower and resources to inquire about this matter just out of curiosity, then there is really no need.

It's hard and thankless.

In the end, he couldn't even hold on to his position as the "leader of the gang".

After hearing what Old Jed said, Murphy slowly shook his head and said.

"I don't mean for you to take the initiative to inquire about these things, Master."

"I mean, if anyone knows anything like this, I hope you can ask them to come over and tell you the information."

"This way, we can collect information without spending too much effort and at the same time, we can collect information quickly."

And this time, after listening to Murphy's request, Old Jed nodded at him and agreed.

"That's not a big problem."
