Chapter 114: The Price of ughter (1) Part 2


    “Honey?”


    “Anna! Are you okay…”


    “Watch out, honey!”


    Before I finished my words of concern for Anna, she shouted at me.


    She was warning me of something.


    Right after her voice ended, a ck sphere flew past my ear.


    I widened my eyes at the sight I had never seen before.


    The ck sphere exploded as soon as it hit the wall.


    Boom!


    The pir that touched the sphere turned ck and rotted.


    I saw the magic flying in front of me and asked Anna.


    “What the hell is this?”


    “I barely managed to save our lives, but we’re lucky.”


    As soon as my voice of doubt ended.


    A man emerged from behind the curtain where Anna was leaning.


    He was wearing a robe and holding a ck sphere in his hand.


    When I faced the man who appeared behind Anna, I realized he was a ck mage.


    He was not like the inquisitors I was wary of.


    He was the ck mage that the inquisitors were after.


    I tried to ovee the fear that surged in my chest as I faced the ck mage.


    “What do you want from our house?”


    The ck mage in front of me had tried to subdue me, not kill me.


    If I could talk to him, I might be able to send him away without any trouble.


    That’s why I chose to talk to the ck mage.


    I wanted to persuade him and save Anna.


    “I need more sacrifices. There’s a guy who runs a big farm in this vige.”


    “Are you only after the livestock? I heard that ck mages don’t hesitate to sacrifice humans…”


    “The demon I contracted is greedy. He won’t be satisfied with just a few humans.”


    “That’s… a relief, I guess.”


    “So lead me to your farm. I’ll spare this woman if you do.”


    Zzzz.


    The ck mage brought the ck sphere in his hand closer to Anna as he spoke.


    I finally understood his purpose from his words.


    He still kept Anna alive, which meant he had something to do with me and my farm.


    He wanted to use the countless livestock on my farm as sacrifices for his ck magic.


    I thought of my farm as I saw the ck mage threatening me with Anna.


    “…”


    It was the farm that I had worked hard for all my life.


    If I lost the livestock on my farm, it would mean that everything I had done was gone.


    But even that farm was not more valuable than Anna.


    I could sacrifice the livestock on my farm for Anna.


    I made up my mind and nodded at the ck mage.


    “Fine. Follow me.”
