Turning a Crazy Dog into a Young Master - Chapter 7

7. I will bless you for only 20 silver

It’s not a simple matter like, I ran out of toilet paper.

Can I tell him through these clueless guards that I almost got poisoned last night?

There was poison in the food prepared by the chef, but there was no way to tell if the cook put in the poison or if the guards sneaked in and put the poison after.

Dialin clenched her fists.

It was hard to keep a smile as it was.

“I have something urgent to tell him…I want him to come as soon as possible.”

“Oh, yes. I will pass it on to him.”

The guards answered without showing any sign of doubt.

Dialin, who was very nervous, breathed a sigh of relief at the guards’ gentle reply.

“Then, have a good time at work. May the blessings of God be with you.”

It was only a formal greeting, but the guards’ faces brightened at her words.

It was surprisingly difficult to meet a priest, and it was even more difficult to receive a blessing.

“Uh, I’m sorry to ask this, but a blessing…Can you bless me just once?”

By blessing, it means not only giving a greeting but also giving a piece of divine power.

Nothing much changes in reality even if a little sacred power is buried in the blessed person.

Still, people considered it to be the luck of a lifetime to be blessed with divine power.

Even on the battlefield, humans who were almost crossing the line of no return would grab a priest with miraculous strength to ask for a blessing.

Dialin was now able to cope with these requests very maturely.

“Of course, I should do it.”

“Ah! As expected of the merciful-” 

“I will bless you for just 20 silver!”

“…huh.”

The guards swallowed the wind. 

They had faces that showed they did not expect to pay for it.

But Dialin showed an unwavering smile.

Religion is faith.

In other words, the harder you insist on it, the more trustworthy it is.

“The God-given ability is for the world, I’ll give it to the guards, and the guards will give me money, it will expand opportunities for me to help the world with that same money. Would you like to participate in the true will of God?”

“Ahhh! That’s how it happens!”

Of course not.

The credibility of the profession of a priest was enormous, but Dialin’s smooth tongue, which has been polished for a long time, also played a part.

She put a wedge on the guards who were just over twenty-two.

“That’s right. Please understand that this is all for the will of God, and…”

Even though there was no one around anyway, Dialin approached and whispered secretly.

“It’s fate that we met and worked together like this, so I’ll give you a discount of 10 silver.”

Wow, that’s extraordinary

Since it was not a connection that would dry out right away, I charged them with generosity.

If I live a little more nicely, maybe God will make that crazy dog ​​a little saner, who knows?

“Th-That’s perfect! Please, take good care of me!”

20 silver was the price of one expensive meal, but 10 Silver was money that could easily be spent at any store.

When it was slightly expensive and then it suddenly became cheaper, the guards suddenly felt like they had made a profit and opened their wallets with ease.

“Everything you do will go well, and God’s protection will be with you wherever you go.”

“Love too.”

“Ah, I usually charge extra for dating…I’ll just do it.”

If you have the divine power to specially bless love in relationships, you will immediately become one of the seven children of God.

The Seven Children of God was the highest position a priest could ascend to.

New candidates were selected only when there was a vacancy, and even if a candidate becomes a nominee by recommendation, the remaining six people must unanimously agree with the promotion.

The seven children of God were almost like gods themselves.

The reason why the story of the seven children of God appeared in the love blessing meant that, in a word, there was no such thing in the world.

“Oh, oh!”

But what’s good for each other is good right?

After all, blessings are all about making people feel good.

In addition, Dialin actually used a little of her divine power.

If you are in good shape, you can do anything well.

Even if the complexion is only slightly improved, it can look pretty to the other person, or it can show charm with vitality by improving the energy of the body.

You might end up dating well, right?

‘This is not a scam.’

Dialin nodded with pride as a priest. 

“Oh! I’m already feeling something!”

You will probably do.

It’s like eating a box of nutritional supplements at once. There are no side effects either, it’s truly a business that left nothing to desire.

Dialin turned around with a benevolent bowing.

“Thank you! Thank you! I hope you finish your work safely too, Priestess!”

“….”

It’s just a greeting, but why is it stuck deep in my chest?

The road back to the mansion to face again what put her survival at stake was long and far away.

It was physically distant.

Between the mansion and the entrance, there was a wide lake, a forest, and even a small hill.

Walking that long-distance became an exercise.

Morning exercise with an empty stomach. I’m starting to feel extremely hungry.

By this time, Ceres will also start to feel hungry.

‘People become more sensitive when they starve.’

Dialin also had a problem with her own hunger, but she was more worried that the starving Ceres would go wild. She didn’t even know if he would explode by himself if she continued to feed him something that was not tasty, even if he did eat everything she gave.

Dialin went into the kitchen, worrying about a meal plan that she had never done in her life.

“…Okay, let’s do anything.”

At least better than yesterday’s food waste.

But the world of cooking was both distant and deep. Even if she wants to do something, she would have to know the basics.

Even the food waste she made yesterday was ‘well’ made by accident.

‘I really can’t do anything!’

Dialin looked in dismay at the results that could not even be called food and deeply engraved respect for other people’s talents. 

Bread failed at the kneading stage. It has become a bizarre thing from where some kind of creature would be born from.

Noodles had extreme results, left as unrecognizable porridge and burnt charcoal.

She couldn’t even touch the other ingredients because I didn’t know how to make food with them.

“After all, it’s a salad for breakfast…?”

If you can’t cook, let’s at least arrange the ingredients.

At least for salads, you just need to rip and cut the green things.

Dialin neatly gave up cooking.

Chang Kang!

Then she heard the sound of something breaking outside.

“Wh-What is that sound?”

Dialin hurriedly ran out of the building and as soon as she stepped out of the building, she heard another sound.

“Hic!”

It was the result of desperate patience and self-restraint that ‘hik’ came out rather than a loud ‘Kyaaa’.

It also occurred to her for a moment that it could be the last scream of her life. It was a terrible sensation peculiar to a person who had rolled on the battlefield.

A piece of glass, a candlestick, and something flapping fell in front of Dialin, who had swallowed her breath and hardened her body.

“Wh-what?”

Upon closer inspection, it was a bird that had been hit by a candlestick.

Why is this here?

Looking up at the place where the sound came from with blank eyes, she saw a window on the second floor that had been cracked and the curtains that were fluttering in the cracks.

Now, there was no window, only the window frame, and it was located right in Ceres’ room.

Dialin finished understanding the situation at once.

Our dog has been hunting since morning…

Dialin smiled and humbly lowered her head.

I don’t think it’s like he’s helping with breakfast. It must have been that his sensitive nerves could not stand the birdsong and he killed it.

Thank you very much for not killing me because of snoring. 

Dialin looked out the window and picked up the bird, expressing her undefeated thanks.

I shouldn’t feed grass to sensitive people. When the mood is low, why not send meat as the main dish?

Fortunately, she had a prey called bird.

“He won’t have any complaints about the bird he caught…”

Dialin carefully started roasting the bird. She was so focused that Dialin didn’t even know someone was approaching from behind.

“What are you doing…”

“Gasp! That scared me.”

After hastily turning around, she saw Ruben who was standing behind her.

She was so focused on roasting the bird that she couldn’t feel any signs of people approaching.

“I’ve called you a few times.” 

“Ah, since I was concentrating on cooking…Did you run here?”

Sweat was running down Ruben’s forehead.

I thought he would be very busy because he is a major figure in the military and it would take a few days to get in touch, but it was surprisingly quick.

“I came on horseback.”

“Not a carriage?” 

“I thought it would be urgent.” 

“…Oh, it is.”

“Who did he kill?”

It seems that Ruben was quite in a hurry.

He started asking questions without having time to say anything as much as a greeting.

“Or was he going to kill you? He didn’t escape, did he?!”

“Shh.”

Ruben poured out his speculations without giving Dialin a chance to speak. As his voice grew louder and higher, Dialin hastily pressed her finger to her lips.

This sound must also be heard by Ceres.

“He hasn’t eaten breakfast yet.”

“What?”

“Because he’s on an empty stomach, he will be sensitive.”

Sensitive dogs should not be stimulated. Even if you tell a dog to calm down dozens or hundreds of times, it doesn’t understand. 

In that sense, it’s only right for humans to keep quiet.

“Oh, yes.”

Ruben immediately understood and bit his mouth.

As she was opening her mouth to talk about the situation, a burnt smell went into Dialin’s nose.

“Wait. Breakfast is burning.”

A little delay does not mean that the poison would run away on its own. 

However, if breakfast is late, Ceres may go mad.

For now, the priority was to keep him from going on a crazy fit.

Even Ruben knew the importance of breakfast. Instead of hastening for an answer, he watched as Dialin rescued the little breakfast.
