Chapter 69

When she found Daisy covered in blood, Renya thought this:

Something was wrong.

“Uh, uh.”

She had been stamping her feet anxiously, but only came to her senses after Lu strode up the stairs.

Then she ran ahead to tidy the bed in Daisy’s room. It was to lay Daisy down.

However, Lu actually took Daisy to his own bedroom. Renya hurriedly followed behind Lu and examined Daisy’s wounds on the bed.

‘This isn’t good.’

It wasn’t good at all—far too serious.

Her chest was soaked red, as if she had coughed up blood.

Both of Daisy’s shoulders were tightly bound with cloth, but the bleeding wasn’t properly stopped and was seeping through to the bedding.

Her complexion was seriously pale, her breathing irregular, and her body temperature extremely low.

‘How did she get such wounds? Was it because of the Weatherwax Baroness’s knights?’

Lu seemed busy roughly tearing up the visible bedding to make hemostatic bandages.

It was surprising that Kalerpa was skilled at such trivial tasks, but there were more urgent matters in the current situation.

“Ka, Kalerpa.”

Renya, who had brought clean water, asked with courage.

“Ka, Kalerpa. How did Lady Daisy’s wounds happen?”

There was no response from Lu. His attitude was as if he had forgotten Renya’s existence.

He seemed to be concentrating entirely on treating Daisy’s wounds.

Lu’s expression was so rigid it was breathtaking, enough to make Renya feel frightened just looking at him.

But Renya didn’t give up and asked again.

“Please forgive my rudeness. But, but Lady Daisy went out at my request… and also, if I know the cause, I might be able to help you better…”

After a while, Lu answered with an extremely alien yet ordinary smile that made the observer feel strange.

“She was stabbed in both shoulders by a sharp sword.”

Renya was so shocked she nearly fainted.

The great Kalerpa was speaking politely to someone like me!

Her mind, which had been immersed in deep bewilderment, returned to reality as soon as Lu removed the blood-soaked cloth.

“A, a sword! That can’t be…”

She brought clean bandages to clean the wounds and stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn’t stop.

‘What’s this? There are traces of bleeding that was stopped and then reopened. Did something else happen in between?’

Regardless of the process, blood transfusion seemed urgent now.

“Miss Renya.”

“…Yes? Yes? Did, did you call me, Kalerpa!”

“Needle and thread.”

Needle and thread?

After blinking blankly for a moment, Renya hurriedly brought a sewing box and disinfectant from her room.

Lu skillfully disinfected the needle. He seemed to have cast magic on the thread too, presumably healing-related magic.

While he sutured both of Daisy’s shoulders, Renya wiped away the dried blood, dust, dirt, and cold sweat from various parts of Daisy’s body.

And as the suturing was nearing completion, she brought a medical magic tool from the warehouse.

As she sat beside the bed, opened the magic tool box, and took out various items, Lu slowly raised his expressionless face to look at Renya.

Somehow her spine felt chilled and her lips moved involuntarily.

“Th, this is a blood transfusion examination tool. It can diagnose a patient’s blood type and magic type.”

Blood transfusion is only possible between people with identical blood types and magic types.

Drawing a needle to test Daisy’s blood, Renya prayed that her blood type and magic type would be the same.

And the result was.

Beep. Beep.

‘Wrong. The characteristics are completely different.’

Renya despaired but worked her mind hard.

Should she forcibly wake her master to ask for an examination? Or should she ask nearby neighbors, grasping at straws? Since it was quite late in the morning, it wouldn’t be too unreasonable to ask.

It was when Renya, having made up her mind, stood up holding the blood transfusion examination tool.

The bed shifted slightly once.

‘…Huh?’

Lu climbed onto the bed without hesitation, positioned himself next to Daisy, and leaned his back against the bedside.

Then he took out the examination needle and unhesitatingly pricked the back of his hand.

“Kalerpa!”

Startled, Renya involuntarily let out a loud voice. Who would dare ask Kalerpa for blood?

While she was restless, the examination results came out.

Beep. Beep.

They were completely identical.

“My goodness. Bo, both blood type and magic type are identical! How lucky!”

Lu stared intently at the examination results. Then he chuckled as if he found something absurd.

“Quite a persistent fate.”

He extended his arm toward Renya.

“Please proceed with the blood transfusion like this, Miss Renya.”

Thanks to this, Renya had to ‘dare’ insert a needle into Kalerpa’s body with trembling hands.

Her heart felt like it would burst from pounding so hard, but somehow she managed to succeed.

‘Phew.’

With this, the major crisis was overcome. Renya wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and stole glances at Daisy and Lu’s faces.

Lu was silently looking down at Daisy, his face deep in thought.

In that moment, Lu felt like an ordinary man worried about a friend, rather than a great figure like Kalerpa. At least Lu beside Daisy was like that.

‘He seems quite different from what I’ve heard in stories.’

Blue hair and golden eyes.

Renya had one teaching she had received from Malicops for a long time.

“Among the four Kalerpa, if you see the one with blue hair and golden eyes, show the utmost respect. Don’t lie, don’t speak directly, don’t make eye contact. When that person is there, just let them be there. Don’t try to do anything.”

Only then can you survive.

That is what the blue-haired Kalerpa is like.

‘When I heard such stories… I thought Kalerpa was a monster that killed people without a care.’

The blue-haired Kalerpa she actually encountered was completely different from her imagination.

First of all, Kalerpa ‘Lu’ smiled often.

Sometimes he was sly, often playful, and occasionally kind. He seemed comfortable with small physical contact and had a habit of quietly making eye contact during conversations.

At least when dealing with Daisy.

Renya suddenly became curious.

‘What is the relationship between Lady Daisy and Kalerpa?’

She knew how great Kalerpa was from hearing about it until her ears were sore.

But Daisy treated such a Kalerpa casually, and seemed completely unrelated to rogues.

‘Are they family?’

Or friends?

Or lovers?

If neither of those…

“Miss Renya.”

Renya raised her head with a startled face as if her thoughts had been discovered.

“…Yes? Yes, yes!”

“Could you bring Priest Malicops?”

Renya answered by hurriedly rushing out of the bedroom.

Running straight to the bedroom on the opposite corridor, she shook the lying Malicops’ body to quickly wake him up, regardless of her master’s rest.

“What is so urgent, Renya. Is there a fire?”

“Ka, Kalerpa… said to bring Priest Malicops…!”

“…Priest? Did he say Priest Malicops? Not just Malicops?”

“Yes, yes.”

Malicops, who had groggily gotten up, immediately combed his disheveled hair neatly upon hearing Renya’s words, and pulled out pure white clothing and a green sash from deep within the wardrobe to put on.

Rogue sect robes.

‘This is the first time I’ve seen Master actually wearing those clothes.’

Malicops, who had left the bedroom, received a brief explanation of the current situation from Renya.

And the moment he arrived in front of Lu’s room, he stopped with a reverent attitude.

“Devotee Malicops here. Did you call for me, Kalerpa?”

No answer came.

Exactly 5 seconds later, Malicops opened the door and stepped into the room. Approaching the bed, he knelt neatly on both knees in front of Lu and called out.

“Kalerpa, Kalerpa, Kalerpa.”

After a lengthy greeting that continued like a prayer, Lu asked as if he had been waiting.

“Devotee Malicops. How many stages of mind-body unity have you achieved?”

“Shamefully, the second stage was my final stage.”

“Yete then. If it’s alright, could you share your experiences?”

“Yes. After surpassing the first stage, my soul became solid and my ears opened, and after surpassing the second stage, my body became solid and my eyes opened. According to Rogue’s discernment method, by surpassing two stages, my lifespan increased by a total of 28 years.”

Rogue is a group that pursues the divine realm.

All devotees dedicate their entire lives to training in order to overcome the barriers of mind-body unity.

Therefore, Rogue’s priests were divided into four ranks according to their mind-body unity stages.

Those who surpassed the first stage, Senyote.

Those who surpassed the second stage, Yete.

Those who surpassed the third stage, Hwi.

Finally, those who reached the realm of demigods, Kalerpa.

The number of Kalerpa in one generation is maintained between three and four.

However, since the demigod realm is nearly impossible to reach, most Kalerpa positions have been filled by the most outstanding Hwi instead.

And the Kalerpa before his eyes.

As far as Malicops knew, was not just some mere Hwi.

Lu’s languid voice fell over Malicops’s head as he obediently bowed.

“Yete Malicops… you must have met many other Yete and Hwi of Rogue?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll ask you one thing. Have you ever seen someone whose body broke the moment they surpassed the second stage?”
