Chapter 233: Coughlon's Conspiracy (Sey)
"You can't do anything in this cave!" Katie exclaimed, pointing at Coughren's red-nosed head, "This old guy needs Uncle Vincent's protection too, right?"
"Isn't it the honorable duty of a guardian knight to protect his fellow soldiers?" said Coughlon in a succinct voice.
"People don't think you're our companion!" Katie said unceremoniously.
"Don't forget, Vincent and I came here together, and if we're not both companions, what are you who joined later?" Coughren was sure that Celent would not break their relationship, and he was convinced that Celent must be hiding something by appearing beside him under the guise of a teleportation circle.
"You!" Katie froze, Coughren was right, she was actually an outsider to the team.
"Alright. Let's think about how to face the dangers we may encounter. Silent interrupted the argument between the two and kindly reminded him. He still hasn't figured out any good countermeasures when he faces the human-faced spider.
"Hmph~" An old man and a small branch were left and right in Serent, looking in the opposite direction angrily, and no one cared about anyone.
"It's time for us to move on. Celent lit a torch and stepped into the cavern first, the item in a space bag that Tenelle had given him temporarily—there were a few strange things in that space bag that Celent hadn't bothered to study in detail.
Silent laughed at the vindictive behavior of the two guys, who had seen it as a dangerous expedition and an outing.
Celent was under pressure, and he didn't want to face the terrifying human-faced spider if he hadn't been in a hurry to find the Eye of Sakabas to save Lennie.
Especially in the case of an old man and a young man, he was not sure at all in his heart just by relying on the set of martial arts that Celent was not proficient in with the Guardian Hammer.
The ground in the cave was unusually smooth, and the moment Septate walked on it, he raised his vigilance, and the seemingly ordinary ground seemed to be full of mysteries, and it was possible to slip and fall if he was not careful.
"Be careful...... "As soon as Celent reminded, the tragic Coughren had already slipped a squat on his ass very "chicly", slipped out of the distance, and his figure quickly disappeared out of the light of the torch.
"Oops~ My old waist is really broken this time!" Coughlon's faint voice came from not far away, making Celent breathe a sigh of relief. Coughren was also able to let out his characteristic "moan", which at least proved that he was okay.
"Oh, old fellow, you're stupid!" said Katie, bouncing in the direction of Coughren's sound, her kitten paws looking unusually steady on the smooth ground.
Katie was extremely fast on the smooth ground, and she was about to disappear out of the torch's radiance. A sense of danger suddenly appeared in Serent's heart: "Katie, wait for me, don't disappear out of my sight!"
Silent reminded loudly as he struggled to keep his balance in check, striding short behind Katie.
"Uncle Vincent, is there any danger?" Katie was at home in such an environment, and after hearing Serent's warning, she returned to him in a leap, without the slightest effort for Celent to grasp the balance.
"No, it's just a feeling. After Katie returned to him, the feeling of danger that Celent had just felt eerily disappeared.
"I hope your feelings are wrong. Katie prayed with her eyes closed, she was so insecure that she couldn't summon her pet, and she wasn't willing to face any danger.
"I hope so, too. As he spoke, Celent and Katie came to Coughren's side.
This old guy was lying on the ground leisurely and "moaning" loudly, but his expression didn't look like something was wrong at all, he just wanted to be lazy and attract the two of them.
"How's your waist, Priest Coughlon?" asked Celrant with concern, even though Coughren didn't look like a big deal.
"It seems to have been broken just now, but after taking a break, it seems to be fine again~" Coughlon squeezed his eyes at Celent playfully.
"Are you sure? Why don't we retreat to the cave entrance and I'll treat you again? It's not too far away anyway. Silent enthusiastically suggested.
"No need, I know my body very well, it shouldn't matter!" Coughren waved his hand generously, making a strong look.
"Hmph!" Katie, who had been watching coldly, wrinkled her cute little nose and showed a dissatisfied look. She felt that Celant's kindness was a little pedantic, and the old guy was clearly lying to them, but Celent was still willing to believe him.
"Then you have to be careful, the road ahead will definitely not be easier than it is now. "Silent had to be reminded again.
"Don't worry, my old man won't make the same mistake - oops~" Coughren said to be careful, but when he stood up, he almost fell down because of slipping. If it hadn't been for Celant's quick hand to help him, I'm afraid this fall would have been worse than just now.
"I said Knight Vincent, I'm afraid it's hard for me to keep up with you on such slippery ground, why don't you leave me here?" Coughren was visibly frightened this time, he now felt that it was difficult to stand on the ground steadily, let alone move forward.
"That's not going to work!" Serent replied. In the unlikely event that the Human-Faced Spider attacked while Coughren was alone, Celent did not think that the weak priest would survive.
"But......," Coughren looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's really hard for me to keep up with you." ”
"People know what you mean, don't you just want Uncle Vincent to carry you on your back, you cunning old fellow!" Katie saw through Coughren's sinister intentions at a glance.
"Don't you be so blunt, little girl. Coughlon's face turned white for a while, although he had already seen that Celent was a good man, but after being exposed by Katie in person, the thick-skinned Coughren still felt a little embarrassed.
"So that's the case, blame me for being too slow!" To the surprise of the two, Serent, who knew that he had been calculated, began to blame himself.
"Uncle Vincent, are you sure you're going to carry this old fellow on your back?" Katie looked incredulous as she saw Celent carry Koffren on her back.
"The Guardian Knight will not leave his companions behind. Instead, Celent wondered why Katie would ask that.
"Oh oh, I'm so moved~" Coughren let out an exaggerated exclamation and stuffed the crutches in his hand into Serente's empty hand: "Knight Vincent, this crutch is quite strong, it can help you maintain your balance on such a ground, and I can count it as a little thank you to you, so that we can love each other." ”
"Shameless!" Katie cursed through gritted teeth after hearing Coughlon's unashamed words.
