Chapter 80
Curious, her gaze kept looking down, but the color of the water was so dark that she couldn’t see through it. Holly blushed at the sight of the naked body reflected on the water’s surface, but suddenly, her eyes went dark.
“Don’t look at it like that.”
As Cahill covered her eyes, his voice in her ears was hoarse.
‘… Shouldn’t it be the other way around?’
She pondered as her vision was blocked before she remembered that Cahill was jealous of Layla, a woman. Holly gave up, trying to remove his hand from covering her eyes.
“I’m here to find the treasure you stole!”
Just as she pulled Cahill’s hand down her nose, she heard the loud noise.
Acting like the leader of the group, George was at the fore. The group, including Cahill, looked around with indifferent eyes. He said that he would take care of the troublesome task himself, so they showed no reason to refuse.
“It’s a human being!”
“You are a beautiful human being.”
However, the Lamias looked at Cahill and the men and smacked their lips, not even seeing George in sight. Hearing the curious voice, Holly moved unknowingly and wrapped her arms around Cahill.
“If you don’t return the stolen treasure, I won’t let you go!”
George, not paying attention, shouted once more. The Lamias glanced at George at his shouting voice. They looked confused, as if they didn’t understand what he was saying.
For a moment, one of the Lamias looked at Cahill and smiled deeply.
“Alright. I’ll listen to what you’re talking about, so why don’t you come closer?”
Lamia whispered, curling her lips. Through her parted lips, she bizarrely showed her bright red tongue.
The seductive gesture made Holly’s heart flutter.
‘No way, Cahill…’
When she tried to look up at Cahill’s expression, her eyes met his.
“Why? Shall we just go back?”
Seeing he asked that question with his face glowing, Holly confirmed that he was not interested in Lamia and relaxed her mind.
“We came all the way here, so we have to check.”
When she shook her head with ease, Cahill clicked his tongue.
“Go check it out.”
As Cahill shoved George on the back with a look of displeasure, he almost fell into the swamp after getting pushed hard. George looked back at him with a white face.
“Why, why me…”
Sweat was beading on his forehead. Unlike the others, it seemed that standing in front of Lamia seemed quite difficult for George.
“Because it is yours.”
Adam shrugged in an obvious manner. After hearing their conversation, the Lamias openly showed their disappointment.
“That guy doesn’t look very appetizing…”
“Besides, he’s an elf.”
Holly seemed to know how George, who was mesmerized by Lamia, returned alive at that time.
“Let’s just tear off his riches in moderation.”
“Have elves ever had anything of value? He must be broke.”
“This is the first time an elf has been hanging out with humans. He might be a little different.”
The Lamias exchanged words for a while in disagreement. The problem was that they could hear all the words the Lamias made, and George’s face turned red after being ignored so blatantly.
Watching the scene, Holly took a step forward.
As a precaution, they decided to contact Lamia only through Holly, a woman. She unfolded the parchment she had received from Adam.
“Do you have anything that looks like this?”
The family treasure that the elder had shown was drawn on the paper. The real parchment on which the treasure was painted was taken back by the elder, but Adam drew the same picture from memory. The Lamias turned their heads to look at Holly as they heard a voice that was different from before.
Unlike George, their eyes were shining.
“This one is a cute girl.”
“As long as it tastes good, whether it’s a man or a woman, that’s fine.”
Lamia looked at her and licked her lips with her tongue.
Even though she was far away, Holly could feel chills down her spine as if she had actually been licked all over by them.
Sensing a sense of danger at that moment, Cahill narrowed his eyebrows and hid her behind him. However, his eyes darkened despite his harsh gaze as the Lamias burst into laughter. Seeing that, Holly grabbed his hand from behind.
“Cahill.”
“Holly always tries to go the hard way rather than the easy way.”
Cahill, noticing her intention to stop him, shook his head.
“If the Lamias die, we might have to search through this swamp.”
Holly was so afraid to even think about going into the water where she couldn’t see inside. Seeing her pale face, Cahill furrowed his eyebrows.
Just as he was about to speak…
“A human to kill us?”
“How funny. It’s cute.”
“But I am angry.”
“Let’s just grab it and eat it.”
The Lamias murmured loudly, feeling that they had been ignored by Cahill and Holly’s conversation. The Lamias were also ignoring them with their conversation anyway.
Holly, who was watching their expression in case the Lamias got offended, raised her eyebrows.
“Cahill is impatient… I might not be able to stop him next time.”
Her menacing persuasion kept the Lamias silent. Not wanting to worry Cahill, Holly stuck out the parchment from the back.
“Please answer me. Do you have this item?”
Lamia’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Holly. The corners of her eyes, which were split to the side of her, gradually drew an arc and formed a deep smile.
“If I answer, will you deal with me?”
Lamia spat out unilaterally.
With those words, Shiver, who was next to Holly, growled and barked. As she turned her head, she saw several snakes coming towards them from all sides.
‘Will it end well?’
Holly sighed in disappointment.
Since it had been a long time since she spoke with a monster, it was in vain to expect that it could be resolved through dialogue. Lamia looked at her expression and uttered with a smile.
“I have to show you the picture.”
The Lamias were in the swamp, and the party stood as far away as possible to avoid being enchanted. It would have been easier for someone to use the snake than to go into the swamp.
‘…Still, it’s kind of unsettling.’
When she saw the bright yellow snake’s eyes, she got goosebumps all over my body.
Hesitantly, Holly tossed the parchment on the floor. The snakes wriggling their heads in the air like having a conversation took the parchment away. Lamia, who approached the party’s nearby waterside, accepted it.
“I hate fire.”
“I don’t want to go around doing that.”
The Lamias who looked at the painting were disgusted. Then George, who was watching with expectant eyes, cried out with a red face.
“I know you guys stole the treasure and hid it deep in the swamp!”
“Swamp?”
Lamia tilted her head. It looked like they really didn’t know anything, but George seemed to have a different idea.
“The proof is that the swamp is boiling as if it was placed on fire!”
The expression of the Lamias suddenly changed at his proudly shouted words. In the meanwhile, as Cahill completely hid Holly behind him, Adam looked wary and prepared to attack, but they didn’t attack.
“That’s the work of Red Dragon.”
Instead, Lamia gnashed her teeth. Fear flashed in their eyes as they sighed with resentment on their faces.
“The dragon’s breath changed the swamp.”
“Perhaps that item was also taken by the Red Dragon?”
“Because the Red Dragon likes the color red.”
“Why don’t you go there?”
Holly remembered hearing from Layla’s husband, Chase, that the fire spirits had left Lauriue to follow the Red Dragon.
“Shall we leave?”
As Adam spoke quickly, Cahill, Holly, and Badin turned their bodies at the same time.
‘It’s already a daunting life. We can’t even include a dragon now.’
Even if the elf’s reward was valuable, it wasn’t as good as losing their own life.
“Hey, are you going to go? After coming all the way here?”
The left behind, George asked in bewilderment.
“If you go back like this, you won’t get the reward that was promised!”
“It’s fine if we don’t get it.”
“N, no, that…”
