16 – Red Garden Landscaper 2

“Ugh! omg! omg! Ugh!”

Exhaling an urgent breath, Isolda moved forward, harming the bush.

Dense branches of trees mercilessly scratched her rags-clad body, and the ruthless rocks and pebbles gave the soles of her feet a tearing pain with every step she took.

However… even in such pain, Isolda’s heart was filled with joy and joy.

‘You did it! Finally… I finally escaped from the hands of that son of a bitch!’

At this moment, ignoring the pain enough to scream, she was so happy that she was free from Bahamut’s clutches.

‘Good. Well, first we’re going to the abandoned house in the northwest. We’ve got an emergency fund hidden just in case, so all we have to do is leave the city with it. After that..’

As she recalled the plans she had designed many times while rolling at the bottom of that hell, Isolda succeeded in completely escaping the direct territory of the upper part of Beden as it was.

*

“Isolda?”

“Yes, the servant who brought us the meal found it. They say that woman has disappeared.”

“Um… ”

At Asubel’s words, Bahamut nodded slowly.

Although she was a person with accumulated resentment, there was little possibility of doing something to Bahamut right away even if she escaped.

Some of her forces were absorbed and some were torn to shreds, so it was absolutely impossible for even Isolda to resurrect the Evern Merchants.

From Bahamut’s point of view, if we had to consider the loss of this incident, it would be the fact that the toy he had been playing with had disappeared.

In any case, since the slaves were gone, Ashbel spoke to Bahamut a little urgently.

“Then we will immediately release the people and find them. At least it’s only been a day, so I probably wouldn’t have gone far.”

“Well…well, I’ll have to look for it first, I’ll ask.”

“Yes, Master.”

As soon as Bahamut’s permission was granted, Ashbel immediately took action.

However, regarding this matter, Bahamut honestly thought that the possibility was not very high.

‘There’s no way that cunning bitch would have left here without thinking. He must have made some calculations on his own.’

While thinking about that, a cold smile slowly began to form on Bahamut’s lips.

*

“I found it.. Now all I need is this…”

A deep smile began to form on Isolda’s lips as she looked at the sack of gold coins in front of her eyes.

Although her hands were all bloody from digging the hardened dirt floor with her bare hands. To her now, this kind of pain was nothing.

‘I have prepared my travel expenses with this, so I have to leave here..’

With that thought in mind, Isolda put the sack of gold coins in her arms and returned to the village.

In a little while, Bahamut will find out that he has escaped.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was under his rule, so she had to get out of here as quickly as possible, so she urgently grabbed the carriage in sight.

“Where are you going?”

“Go west to Munich.”

“Munich? Hey girl, you know how far it is from here to there..”

“I’ll pay you down! So shut up and leave quickly!”

Lee Sol-da holds out two gold coins and speaks in an annoyed voice.

In response, the coachman put up with what he wanted to say and started running the wagon with her on board.

‘You’re acting like a beggar and giving out gold coins… What a strange person.’

With that thought in mind, without paying any further attention, the coachman picked up some speed and headed east towards Munich, the capital of the Holy Empire.

It was because it was familiar to him to stop caring about the passengers as he had met all the stars while working on this floor.

The carriage left the urban area of Schwyz and entered the mountain road.

Recognizing that the buildings outside the window had completely disappeared, Isolda was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

‘It’s okay… I’m relieved now. Bahamut that son of a bitch. You’ll never catch me now I’m going to go to Munich and rest for a few days, then I’ll go on the road again. As long as I go to him, no matter how much I fly, even the creeping Bahamut cannot lay a finger on me. I’m growing my power under him… So I’ll definitely get my revenge someday…’

Lee Sol-da is looking forward to a brilliant leap forward that will unfold in the future, burning with desire and vengeance.

However, as she was thinking about it, she began to feel that her mind was becoming hazy.

It was natural.

Right after escaping last night, until the sun was up in the sky, she had come this far without resting or eating for a moment.

As much as the tension was released, fatigue naturally began to pour in, and she began to fall into a deep sleep.

*

“So, did I miss it after all?”

“I’m sorry, master. I will gladly accept this sin in any way.”

“No, no, what is the sin? It’s not going to be easy to find someone in this big city anyway, so I didn’t expect much.”

Ashbel sincerely apologized. However, Bahamut waved his hand and refused.

“Aside from that, it’s been more than a day since I couldn’t do it, but unless Isolda was an idiot, I’d probably have gotten out of it long ago.”

“Umm… that’s true too, but…”

“Anyway, let’s stop talking about that foxy woman at this point. How did my request go?”

“Ah.. yes. Prepared without hesitation. News should come from there, but I think you should probably leave around next week.”

“okay. You’ve worked hard, so let’s leave.”

“Yes, Master.”

With bitterness over the fact that his mission had failed, Ashbel returned to his work, and right after Ashbel left, Bahamut slowly rose from his seat.

“then. Would you like to come again soon? Well, unlike then, this time there won’t be much pressure.”

*

“Ah!”

Lee Sol-da wakes up from a sudden shock.

It was natural to be shocked as it was going through a rough mountain road, but the moment I opened my eyes, Isolda began to feel that something was going wrong.

“What… what is it? Why are you so fast?”

The wagon was shaking wildly as if in a runaway.

In response, Isolda hurriedly opened the front door and asked the coachman.

“what’s the matter?”

“Kuh… It’s a big deal! thief! They are bandits! Until right now.. keoouk!!!”

The next moment, the body of the coachman, who was driving the horse in a hurry, was hit by an arrow that suddenly flew in and rolled off the carriage.

-“Hiyeeing!!!”-

As soon as the driver disappears, the horses lose control and begin to run wild

At this, Isolda’s face instantly began to grow in fear.

“Damn it!”

It’s only a matter of time before they get caught.

Even if that wasn’t the case, Isolda’s life would be over if the carriage crashed somewhere due to the runaway horses.

Recognizing that she had no choice, she came out and sat in the driver’s seat.

“Nothing is solved! This is it!”

It is Lee Sol who wields a whip and tries to control the horses by any means.

Fortunately, I had quite a lot of experience driving horses, so the wild horses managed to calm down and start heading straight.

But..

“Catch it!”

“It’s a long-awaited prey! Never miss it!”

“Chit..”

Arrows flying madly and shouts of thieves.

Judging by the sound, it seemed that they were almost approaching, and Isolda could tell that they were getting closer and closer.

‘I’ll get caught at this rate. After all, the wagon is too slow. then!’

It was a fairly risky method, but recognizing that it was the only way for now, Isolda picked up the small hand ax that was hanging on one side of the coachman’s seat.

Isolda knew what it was for.

“Haaa!”

Sol is the one who swings the ax and cuts off the saddle connected to the carriage.

At the same time, the horses freed from the heavy wagon started galloping like mad in the front, and Isolda was riding on top of them.

‘done! Just leave the mountain road and enter the village…’

The thieves who were following were also sold their eyes on the remaining wagon and no longer pursued.

Relieved inwardly, Isolda began to smile as she embraced the horse.

at that time..

“Gagging!”

In the next moment, Isolda was suddenly overcome with tremendous pain.

An arrow stuck in her back

“Ahh..”

Along with the unexpected pain, Isolda began to feel like she was going out of her mind.

‘No.. I can’t.. but.. I can’t die here..’

Lee Sol is struggling to maintain consciousness no matter what.

But… despite her efforts, her eyelids felt too heavy and her arms had no strength.

‘I don’t want to die… but I don’t want to die…’

At the end of that thought, Isolda completely lost consciousness,

Even after the horse that carried her had completely disappeared from the thieves’ sight, it continued to run aimlessly along the mountain road.
