In the end, Reiger still didn’t take action against the nymph girls.
It’s not because he doesn’t eat at.
If he didn’t, Liz and Yuloli wouldn’t have been completely devoured by him in a muddle-headed state.
There are two reasons he didn’t indulge this ti.
One is that he wasn’t desperate enough to act against girls he’d known for less than three days.
The other is simply because the situation wasn’t convenient for that kind of action.
"Good morning, sir."
In the corner of the room, leaning against the wall with arms crossed, lo, who seed to have been dozing, opened her eyes and showed Reiger a lovely smile.
"Did you sleep well last night, sir?"
Naisa, who had been resting with her eyes closed on the room’s sofa, also opened her eyes, looked at Reiger on the bed, and asked with concern.
"...Good morning to you both."
Reiger looked at the two girls who blended naturally into his room, sighed inexplicably, and then got up with support from Jelina and Hilune.
"So, you two stayed here the whole night after all..."
Reiger smiled and sighed.
anwhile, Naisa and lo both wore expressions as if it was only right.
"Last night’s lesson was enough, we can’t let the sa thing happen again."
"That’s right, nothing will make us leave your side so easily again."
One is the Pope of the church, the other the imperial princess, yet they spoke as if they were attendants.
If Liz saw this, the little princess would probably be overwheld, right?
Reiger opened his mouth.
He wanted to say, after seeing last night, do you still think I need to be protected this closely?
Aren’t you both weaker than ?
But in the end, Reiger didn’t say these two sentences.
First, it would hurt, and even if he said it, the two girls would stubbornly remain by his side, unlikely to change their minds.
Clearly, last night’s incident left both of them with a trace of fear.
If Reiger wasn’t stronger than they imagined and truly capable of protecting himself (and others), the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Therefore, this ti, both Naisa and lo silently swore to themselves never to make the sa mistake again.
From now on, they would not easily disregard Reiger.
Seeing this trend, Reiger chose to keep quiet, avoiding futile efforts.
Afterward, under the watchful eyes of the two girls, Reiger was served by Jelina and Hilune, washed, dressed, and then ca to sit across from Naisa after tidying himself up.
"What ti is it now?" Reiger asked while sipping morning tea, "Has the battleship taken off?"
"Not yet." lo stood behind Reiger and said, "They’re doing the final check, it can probably take off in about half an hour."
"Half an hour?" Reiger nodded and suddenly said, "Let’s not stop midway this ti, head straight to Nadneirga."
Nadneirga.
This was the final destination of Reiger’s journey, a rather well-known and special place in the Source World.
"Understood." lo agreed with Reiger without any objections, "Even if you didn’t say, we were about to suggest heading straight to Nadneirga without stopping for resupply or checks."
Last night’s event had already inford everyone that the abyss followers valued Reiger’s existence more than they imagined, and the Abyss itself was even more hostile towards Reiger, the long-awaited savior of the Source World, eager to eliminate this threat imdiately.
Counting it up, Reiger had only been in this world for less than a week, yet a demon lord from the Abyss had already targeted him, going so far as to strike against him and the Holy Sword Marfa, illustrating the importance and hostility of the Abyss towards Reiger.
Given that, they couldn’t afford to be careless in the upcoming journey.
If they stayed midway like this ti, they’d surely face enemy attacks, ambushes, and sches once again, which would be very dangerous.
So, conservatively, it’s best to not stop again, heading directly to the destination would be the best choice.
...No, actually the best response would be to imdiately head back, return to the capital of the empire, Frost.
As long as they returned to the imperial capital, Frost, even if the abyss followers went crazy, they couldn’t pose a substantial threat.
If Naisa and lo hadn’t witnessed Reiger’s strength and known that he had power comparable to a saint, they would have definitely suggested him to abandon this trip and head back.
Unfortunately, Reiger didn’t intend to cancel this journey, and Naisa and lo had no choice but to accompany him to the end.
Of course, again, they wouldn’t be careless this ti.
Last night, both Naisa and lo had already contacted the Imperial Palace and Church Headquarters overnight, instructing them to be ready to support at any ti.
The palace and church had also respectively made deploynts towards the final destination of this trip - Nadneirga, and it was believed that Reiger would soon et the reinforcents sent by the empire and church there.
Naisa and lo completed all of these asures overnight last night, unknown to Reiger.
Even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t care.
"Are you hungry, sir?" Naisa took the opportunity to change the subject and asked Reiger, "Would you like to have breakfast before departure?"
Reiger imdiately touched his stomach.
"Alright." He smiled and said, "Then let’s have sothing to eat."
Upon hearing this, lo imdiately took out a communication magic crystal to have breakfast delivered.
The group chatted sporadically, discussing last night’s events, Reiger’s performance, and even his ability to make all attacks miss him.
Naisa and lo were very interested in Reiger’s ability and, noticing Reiger was not averse to explaining, began to ask questions one after another.
As for Jelina and Hilune, they stayed by Reiger’s side quietly, one pouring tea for the three, and the other occasionally pushing the tea cart to wash the water.
Breakfast passed in such a harmonious atmosphere.
...
At the sa ti, outside the super-large floating magic-guided battleship, final preparations before departure were underway.
At this mont, Luan, a bishop of the Holy Sword Church, was receiving an unexpected visitor.
This person was Yarad.
"I just want to apologize to Your Excellency, Your Majesty, and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I beg Bishop Luan to allow to et with the three of them."
Yarad humbly requested again and again in front of Luan.
However, Luan still had a poor impression of Yarad and coldly refused his request without hesitation.
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty, and Her Royal Highness have officially closed the doors to visitors after last night’s attack and will not entertain any eting requests. Commander, please leave."
Luan’s heartless refusal did not change Yarad’s mind.
"I only need three minutes."
Yarad said.
"No way."
Luan shook his head.
Three minutes?
With your belated performance last night, not even a second will be given to you.
If anyone was slow, it was you people, so who can you bla?
Anyway, Luan found Yarad increasingly disagreeable and was determined not to let this unreliable person near Reiger at this critical mont.
No way. Not now, not ever.
"Is there really no room for compromise?"
Seeing that Luan was unyielding, Yarad frowned deeply.
"No." Luan continued shaking his head, expressionless: "Commander, please leave, lest any further delay worsens your country’s position."
Hearing the threat in Luan’s words, Yarad’s expression changed slightly.
After a mont of silence, Yarad seed to give up on the idea of eting and took out sothing from his pocket.
"This is my gift for you." Yarad handed it to Luan, saying, "Since I can’t et, please at least deliver this small gift to your side for ."
"That’s more like it." Luan relaxed his expression as he accepted what Yarad handed over, smiling as he said, "We’re about to depart too, so please, Commander, make your leave."
Yarad nodded, glanced at the giant ship behind Luan, and then turned to leave without hesitation.
Seeing this, Luan stood there, watching Yarad’s figure disappear into the distance before withdrawing his smile.
"Go." Luan tossed the item to a nearby priest, saying, "Have soone thoroughly inspect this. If there’s any issue, deal with it imdiately."
"Yes." The priest accepted the item and respectfully asked, "If there’s no issue, should we deliver it to them?"
"If there’s no issue..." Luan pondered for a while before saying, "First, notify His Majesty, and let him decide."
The priest then left with the order.
"Libion Duchy..."
Luan looked in Yarad’s departure direction, snorted coldly, and returned to the battleship.
Little did he know, Yarad also wore a grim expression after leaving, muttering coldly to himself.
"That snobbish Holy Sword Church..."
"Do they really think they can push around countries like ours just because of their prestigious background?"
"You’ll pay the price."
Yarad snorted coldly, taking out a communication magic crystal from his pocket.
"I’ve sent the item over. Is that enough now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a light chuckle ca from the other end of the magic crystal.
"Be ready. I’ll give you what you want."
The owner of the voice spoke aningfully.
"Just have the courage to use it."
With that, the other side hung up the communication.
"Courage to use it?" Yarad tightened his grip on the magic crystal, his face twisted as he said, "As long as it allows to ascend to sainthood..."
"No matter the cost, I dare use it."
