Scenes unfolded one after another, conveying to Cleria that a great battle had just taken place here.
"...You’ve seen her?"
Cleria remained silent for a long while before squeezing out those words.
"If you’re talking about the woman engulfed in chilling aura, speaking the kind of odd phrases that only old tirs would say, and charging at people with an ice sword without another word, then yes, I have seen her."
Reiger spoke candidly about the incident.
"She even spoke to you?" Cleria seed a bit surprised as she said, "And you got slashed by her but are completely fine?"
"The way you put it, it sounds like the woman is hard to communicate with?" Reiger crossed his arms, smiling faintly as he said, "Indeed, she’s hard to communicate with, or rather very self-absorbed in her own words, but isn’t it perfectly normal for to be fine?"
"What? Do you think she could actually harm ?"
"You have that much faith in the being inside you?"
These words didn’t elicit a response from Cleria.
She continued to remain silent, saying nothing at all, until she suddenly shivered after a while, snapping back to her senses.
"You, how long do you intend to keep watching?" Cleria glared at Reiger while hugging her body, shouting angrily and shyly, "Hurry up and give so clothes!"
...I keep saying I’ve seen the world, why so persistent?
Watching a bit longer won’t do any harm, right?
Muttering in his heart, Reiger’s face remained calm as he took off his jacket and tossed it to Cleria.
Cleria imdiately put on the jacket, barely managing to cover her upper body, while her two bare white legs were still exposed to the air, making her squirm uneasily.
Thus, Cleria’s gaze shifted to Reiger’s lower body.
This made Reiger’s face darken imdiately.
What? Don’t tell you want to take off my pants too?
Perhaps seeing Reiger’s unamiable expression, Cleria ultimately abandoned a particular bold idea.
"Why are you here?"
"Why am I here?"
"This, where is this place?"
Standing up, Cleria looked around, frowning as she asked.
"I don’t know."
Reiger ignored Cleria’s first two questions, responding indifferently while also looking around.
This stalactite cave seed unremarkable, if not for the sudden fierce battle caused by Reiger and "Cleria," which resulted in significant damage, it would have been an ordinary stalactite cave.
But it’s clear that this couldn’t just be an ordinary stalactite cave.
Reiger recalled that he had ended up here by diving into the icy waters to rescue Cleria, encountering an underwater vortex, and arriving here after passing through that vortex.
"Is it so kind of spatial magic transport chanism?"
Recalling the vortex, Reiger mused.
"This doesn’t seem to be within the borders of the Tistis Kingdom, right?" Cleria shivered and said, "Could it be that we’ve ended up in a foreign country?"
If that were true, it might not be such a bad thing.
In the Tistis Kingdom, her current situation was dangerous and quite intriguing; if she could leave the kingdom and move to another country, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.
However, Cleria was clearly overthinking it.
"This place is still within the borders of the Tistis Kingdom."
Reiger sensed slightly and discovered that the ntal links with Liz, Yuloli, and Lilith still existed.
But it seed he had indeed been transported sowhere else; his current location was completely different from where he had been before, and Liz and the others had beco much further away in the ntal link, not just a little further.
Nevertheless, far as it was, it wasn’t so far that they weren’t in the sa country.
This was still the Tistis Kingdom.
It’s just unknown where exactly this location was.
"Hmm, let’s contact Lilith first."
Thinking of the female demon who never needed to sleep and stubbornly guarded outside his room, Reiger cast the [ssage] spell.
"Master? Where did you go?!"
Lilith’s sowhat delighted voice imdiately echoed in Reiger’s mind, turning into deep grievances.
She had been guarding outside Reiger’s room, only to be rebuffed with "You’re not trying to eavesdrop, are you?" leaving her no choice but to continue her watch in the adjacent room.
Unexpectedly, when Reiger left the stronghold tower, he deliberately concealed his tracks, eluding Lilith’s notice.
When Lilith belatedly realized Reiger was gone, she almost let out a wail of despair.
It’s over, Master is tired of , doesn’t want anymore, my life has no aning, not even eating hearts will be satisfying anymore...
"Sorry, sorry, sothing ca up." Reiger awkwardly replied to Lilith, then changed the subject, "How’s everything on your side?"
"Nothing much, those two heartless human bugs are still snoring away, and Miss Liz and Miss Yuloli seem to have dozed off unknowingly too." Lilith continued in a mournful tone, "Although soone tried to attack half an hour ago, I’ve dealt with it."
Reiger imdiately offered a silent mont of mourning for the attackers.
From Lilith’s tone, Reiger could completely hear how much grievance she bore.
Those attackers picked the worst possible timing, coming when Lilith’s mood was at its worst, and now they must be...sleeping quite peacefully, huh?
"As long as everything’s fine on your side." Reiger set aside his sympathy for the enemies and said, "Sothing ca up over here, so I won’t be back quickly. I’ll have to trouble you to look after things there for now."
"Where is Master now? Why do I feel like you’ve gone very far away?" Lilith furrowed her brow and asked, "If sothing happened, I could co over right now to help Master."
In truth, if she could use [Portal], the highest-level teleportation magic, Lilith would have co over imdiately at that mont.
Of course, if Reiger allowed, Lilith would still have co over imdiately, even if she couldn’t arrive in one go like with [Portal], she could follow the ntal link and use [Advanced Teleportation] to make her way over, reuniting with Reiger.
But clearly, Reiger had no such intentions.
"You stay over there and keep an eye on the others." Reiger said, "Don’t worry, there’s nothing major over here."
"...Okay then."
Reluctantly, Lilith accepted this task.
Reiger gave Lilith a few more instructions, then severed the [ssage] connection.
"Hmm?"
After severing the [ssage] connection, Reiger was taken aback.
"Where is she?"
The Cleria who had been beside him was nowhere to be seen.
"Ran off again?"
The first possibility that crossed Reiger’s mind was this.
But soon, Reiger discovered Cleria’s whereabouts.
This girl, dressed only in his jacket, had sohow made her way to a wall and was standing there, looking up intently at it.
"What are you looking at?"
As Reiger felt puzzled, in the next second, he saw it too.
Saw the contents on that wall.
It was a wall unlike the others, not bumpy at all, but rather extrely smooth, as if deliberately polished by soone.
Reiger stared at the wall.
What appeared in his sight were a series of very crude line drawings.
"These are murals?"
Reiger recognized the origin of those drawings.
After all, he had seen them many tis before.
They were murals recording the history from the Ancient Magic Civilization Period.
After seeing them inside the temple within the subterranean beast Yarakulon’s body and the ruins of the Reinnaier clan, Reiger once again encountered these murals, and saw a brand new segnt of history from the Ancient Magic Civilization.
