ARCHDEUS

HANDKERCHIEF(3)

"And it was Camoverussil, a D-level magic plan used by young masters to make soap that was devoted to use when washing hands before eating."

"There was Eucalyflos, an E-level magic plan that the young master used as one of the ingredients to make something called a mouthwash."

Justin continued to explain all the magic plans he knew. It is sad enough that all this knowledge came from his master who always ordered Justin and some other servants to bring these plants. So Justin has unconsciously memorized the names and benefits of all that magic plan.

Merry clearly did not remember all the complicated names of the magic plan described. But he was very happy when he found out that his father was a very smart and talented person in creating various potions.

For Merry there is no one better than his father. If no one else can, then his father can. If his father can't, then no one can do it.

Merry then saw something clumping not far from where they were. The figure looked like blue mucus moving between the bushes and grasses. With its oval shape, the creature moves like a snail with great fortitude and wisdom. The creature was very relaxed as if it paid no attention to anything around it.

"Sister Justin, what is it?"

Merry pointed the figure of the slime creature to Justin.

Justin did not need to remember the name of the creature in his memory for long. This is a very famous creature, not because of its level of danger but the creature is famous for its large number in the world.

"Miss, this is a slime that is a low-grade magic beast" Justin said.

"Is he dangerous?"

Merry asked enthusiastically. When viewed carefully, this creature does not look disgusting. Although it was said to be mucus, there were no traces of liquid left along the path that it traveled. It looks more like a walking jelly than a slug that moves by slitting.

"No Miss, there are indeed some slimes that are capable of producing acidic liquids but it is a slime that has been around for a long time in an environment full of poisonous gases like swamps. Usually slimes have no harmful attack and they only eat leaves, water, air, or small insects."

"Ooh!"

Desau .. desau ....

The sound of leaves rubbing against each other sounded. It was a shrub that trembled not far from them.

The group then stopped to watch over the bushes.

Erline swiftly got down from the horse and directly drew his sword. He approached the swaying bushes slowly and steadily.

Merry and Justin were nervous. It looks like in a drama or horror novel where creepy creatures suddenly jump from the bushes towards them.

Merry gulped and continued to look seriously. Justin clutched the steering wheel tighter. If danger were to arise, he would have to race the carriage at full speed.

Erline who was at the very front as well as the protector of the two people immediately flowed his sword magic with a flow of navy blue aura.

Everyone held their breath, the bushes increasingly swayed violently ....

"Guard ...."

A squirrel came out of the bush and ran straight to the tree.

"Huh ...."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief it turned out that it was not something terrifying.

"ARGHH!"

Suddenly a human figure covered in blood came out from the bushes. A little human with blood that had frozen on his shirt and some wounds that were still not drying haunted the scene.

"YESY!"

Merry's reflexes screamed because of the frightening sight. Erline who was also surprised by the figure wanted to instantly give out a sword slash. But the bloody figure had fallen first before being attacked. The figure lying on his stomach on the ground still had a limp movement but he was unable to get up and continued to groan in pain.

Everyone was aware, it turned out that it was not a monster but a seriously injured boy.

The days when Merry was beaten by her former master, the days when her virginity was snatched away with no responsibility, the day when he had to experience verbal and sexual abuse from his former master was no less miserable condition than this child.

"Sister Erline, please help him" Merry said.

Erline shook her head. He felt something strange about this boy. It's a kind of energy instability.

At this young age he already had this much quantity? In addition, this child has circulation stability where it is damaged. Butwhy? It is absolutely impossible for a child to experience any instability.

He had a feeling that it would be bad to deal with this child. Even though Erline was an aura user, she could sense the mana waves in the child's body. From the knowledge he had, it was impossible for a child to have this much mana. That indicates there are two things, whether this child is indeed very talented or he is actually a magical creature in disguise.

"No Young Miss. It's hazardous. It is very likely that this child carries a deadly parasite that can spread or that he is just bait from a more powerful creature. It could also be that he is not actually a human but a monster that can change into a human being."

Erline provides a variety of risks that may occur if they help this child. It is not without theoretical basis. As a graduate of the Military Academy, Erline had long been educated to be ever vigilant. In addition, there have been many instances where creatures that look like victims turned out to be predators.

"But ...."

"Erline is right Miss. Even if this child does not intend to harm us, but it could have something like parasite-type magic beasts or even contagious curse magic."

Justin cuts off Merry's speech, who still seems to want to save the boy.

He was indeed unable to feel the turbulent energy of this child. But he was very attentive to Erline's words. He was indeed not close to this woman but at least he knew, Erline's posture and tone of voice were very serious. Clearly this knight was extremely wary of this child.

After all, for Justin his top priority was the safety of his young master. Even if there was a condition where the entire Fertiphile Family was in danger and he could only save one person, Justin would definitely instantly save his young master without a second thought. He did not want any dangerous risks to appear near his young master.

With that very protective thought, without Justin realizing himself maybe he is the 4th person who has been exposed to the Alex Complex. But unfortunately Justin has not realized his protective nature to the figure of his young master.

As for Merry looking at the child sympathetically.

If helping someone can be that dangerous, why would my father want to save me? Why would he want to take such a risk just for me? What if his safety is threatened because of me?

Merry usually doesn't want to be stubborn. He would usually always nod. Maybe he could be a tyrant to his father but if with others, Merry would always nod and give in. But this time the encouragement and feeling of humanity that he had pushed his courage to come to the surface. He simply did not want to see the figure of the little boy die before his eyes. Merry has passed many tests of life in his youth but at the same time he got all the pleasure when he was with his father.

Merry doesn't want to share her father with anyone else. He wanted his father to see only himself as the object he loved the most. For Merry, all kinds of greedy and stingy feelings he was referring to only when his father's affection was given to others. For Merry, only he deserves the love of his father. He had long suffered so much that he felt that his father was a gift from Heaven that was only given to him and became his.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have the heart to see someone suffer. He still has the heart to help others.  Merry is a good boy who remains a man who has a great sense of humanity in his heart.

"I want him saved. This is my command as the son of Alexander Ivanov Fertiphile."

Merry's voice trembled as he tried to hold back his nervousness and fear when issuing orders to these two. It felt like he wanted to cry.

It was fortunate that neither Erline nor Justin disobeyed the order. They can indeed violate it because de jure, Merry is not the biological child of Alex, is not the blood of the Fertiphile nobility, and is considered not part of the House of Fertiphile. So that practically these two people have the right not to obey the order. But they didn't want the girl to be sad. This little girl was the darling of their oldest young master. Although Erline has no loyalty to Alex but his loyalty to Clara is huge.

Erine knows if Alex is sad then Clara will be sad anyway. So as to prevent that, there is no harm in obeying the orders of Merry. As for Justin more simply, if because they did not obey Merry's orders caused the girl to be sad and cry to her young master, she said, then that would mean making his young master think that he (Justin) underestimated his sovereignty in adopting a child.

But even if it would make his young master disappointed, but it was much better than them to carry the risk of salvation for his young master.

"Good Young Miss. But we have to check on this guy whether he's safe or not. During the examination, I hope that Miss can keep her distance and not let my master approach her" Justin said.

"Yes, of course Brother Justin" said Merry.

"What if we take it to the temple people. It just so happens that the temple people are here. We can have them heal and examine this child" Erline said.

The other two agree. So swiftly, Erline carrying a child the age of Merry was like carrying a wooden pole of a building or carrying a sack of rice. He then put the boy on his horse and Erline then climbed up while hugging the little boy so as not to fall with one hand. The other hand held the horse's steering rope.

Erline didn't really care how she brought this child. If this child died because of the method he brought him wrong, then it was the death of the child.

They quickly returned to the mansion.
