I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 72: Thank You, Rogel
[You have slain the Devoted Knight, gaining Combat Experience.]
[You have found the Devout Greatsword.]
The Eight-legged Warrior, injured, reverted to the Skeleton Centipede form and was returned by Rogel using the Key.
Undeniably, the Devoted Knight before us was still quite formidable.
If not for the Eight-legged Warrior’s fierce battle with him, Rogel might have had some trouble killing him.
Moreover, he likely had some techniques he didn’t get the chance to use.
But death is death.
In a battle of life and death, there may not always be a chance to use one’s full prowess.
By now, the surrounding civilians had mostly fled, with only a few hiding in the corners.
The remaining Believers were scared out of their wits by Rogel’s methods, fleeing frantically.
Those on the pyre were terrified, their backs chilled, and their pants damp, only managing to play dead by lowering their heads.
Rogel merely glanced at them, ignoring them.
It’s nearly impossible to stop the spread of information by killing everyone unless he kills everyone present.
However, Rogel always adhered to one principle:
If they hit me, I hit them; if they want to kill me, I kill them.
Lina pushed Mira as they walked quickly.
Seeing the Devoted Knight on the ground, both were deeply shocked.
[He’s dead?]
Lina was a bit incredulous.
Her impression of combat was still stuck at the stage of blades slicing throats.
[Is he completely dead?]
Then she added another line, seemingly worried that this guy might suddenly come back to life.
She even thought of finishing him off with a shot.
Luckily, Rogel stopped her from desecrating the corpse.
[Captain Rogel...]
Mira looked at the corpse on the ground in shock.
Then she raised her head to look at Rogel, eyes filled with curiosity.
[Was that creature just now summoned by your Summoning Technique?]
[Are you a Mage?]
Seeing their reactions.
Rogel’s lips twitched, and he wiped his sweat.
He originally thought they would worry about the consequences of the Devoted Knight’s death by his hands.
But it turned out one was worried the knight wasn’t dead enough, and the other wasn’t focused on the knight at all.
What he didn’t know was that Lina, taught by Old Nelson from a young age, was kind by nature but not naive.
After the pirate incident, her character became even more resilient.
This Devoted Knight previously attacked Rogel, and she naturally couldn’t harbor any sympathy.
And Mira, having followed Yas since childhood, had endured many hardships, witnessed human relations, and the world’s evils, even seeing Yas execute villains.
In short, neither of them were flowers in a greenhouse.
In this way, it’s easier for Rogel.
He breathed a sigh of relief, ready to speak, but a silhouette came over.
[You didn’t have to do so much for me.]
[But, still, thank you.]
Dr. Sally spoke coldly.
From the beginning until now, she seemed to have no emotional fluctuations.
Rogel found it somewhat strange.
She took out a yellowed Blueprint from her pocket, handing it to Lina.
[This is for you.]
[Leave, the Mother Goddess Church is very dangerous.]
Rogel glanced at the Blueprint in Lina’s hands, suddenly stunned.
[Blood Spirit Shadow Stab (Magic Potion Recipe)]
[Type: Special Artifact]
[Reading Requirement: Spirit 5, Mysticism lv4.]
[Production Requirement: Spirit 8, Pharmaceutical Science lv5 or Magic Potion lv3.]
[Explanation: It records the method for creating the Extraordinary Magic Potion, Blood Spirit Shadow Stab.]
This recipe is clearly for assassin-type Magic Potions.
And it seems to perfectly fit Lina.
Is it a coincidence?
Thinking of this, Rogel glanced at Dr. Sally’s back, then looked at Lina, frowning and pondering.
[Lady Sally, what about you?]
Lina was somewhat worried.
They could leave right now.
But if Sally stayed in Nadewilo, she might be targeted by the Mother Goddess Church.
[There are still patients in Nadewilo, so I will continue to stay here.]
Then she turned her head, remaining expressionless.
[Thank you, Rogel.]
It seemed to be a special, private thank you, or perhaps it carried deep meaning.
[...You’re welcome.]
Rogel frowned deeply.
He always felt that Sally was quite mysterious.
[Lady Sally, you can’t continue staying here; as a doctor, you have to survive so...]
Lina hurriedly stepped forward to grab her arm, trying to persuade, but then she suddenly froze.
Lina withdrew her hand as if shocked, looking incredulously at her own hand.
[Thank you for your kindness.]
[But I’m not afraid of death, Lina.]
Sally withdrew her hand, looking at Lina deeply, left some words, and entered the clinic.
She calmly called over a patient hiding in the corner, as if nothing had happened.
[Lina?]
Rogel looked at her with some surprise.
[Lady Sally... is dead?]
Lina still looked incredibly puzzled.
On Sally’s arm, she felt neither warmth nor a pulse.
Dead?
Hearing Lina’s words, Rogel exhaled.
[Alright Lina, let’s set aside Lady Sally’s issue for now; you take Mira and find Yas first.]
[I have some matters to attend to.]
Regarding Sally, Rogel had an inkling.
She was definitely not ordinary, and since she had her own decision, Rogel didn’t need to further intervene.
Before leaving, he glanced at the Believer pretending to be dead on the pyre.
[Shout out loudly who instructed you to do this, continuously.]
[If I don’t hear your voice when I return...]
With that, Rogel harshly pressed the Dagger into his leg, then pulled it out.
[Ah!]
The pretending-to-be-dead guy cried from the pain.
[Yes, sir, I understand, I understand...]
[I took money from doctor Galil, Philip, and Siv, to slander Dr. Sally as a Witch; I am guilty!]
[I took...]
Rogel withdrew his gaze, turning to leave.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to snatch the Devoted Knight’s Armor.
[Let’s go, Sister Lina; Lady Sally must have her own considerations. Let’s quickly notify Yas; trouble might follow.]
Mira spoke.
Lina nodded, somewhat absent-minded as she glanced at Sally’s clinic while leaving.
