That night, not only was the action at the Karedohart Empire’s garrison district startled by the Dark Relief Center, but several nearby garrison districts were also alerted, and people rushed to the scene in succession during the follow-up ti.
However, by then, Reiger was no longer at the scene, but had returned to his room.
As he had predicted, that night, lo and Naisa complained about him for a long ti, looking so woeful that anyone unaware might think Reiger was a scumbag who abandoned these two noble girls.
And if lo and Naisa only felt abandoned, then Jelina and Hilune genuinely believed they were abandoned.
After all, in order to sneak out, Reiger had used a sleep spell on these two nymphs.
This caused Jelina and Hilune to glare at Reiger from start to finish, with mist gathering in their eyes from ti to ti, looking so aggrieved, they seed about to cry any mont, making Reiger feel rather overwheld.
The most unexpected thing for Reiger was that Marfa’s Sword also got sulky.
Perhaps complaining about not being taken along by Reiger, that night, Marfa’s Sword kept circling above Reiger’s head, flying this way and that, making Reiger feel dizzy with its constant movent.
"Alright, alright, next ti I’ll take you no matter where I go, okay?"
Helplessly, Reiger had to compromise with the sulking Holy Sword, which finally settled contentedly back at his waist, no longer flying around.
Later on, Beluti also showed up once, and in front of Reiger, she sincerely apologized again for inviting him out alone and putting him in danger.
Reiger naturally didn’t mind this, but lo and Naisa were quite unhappy about it.
Especially Naisa, who couldn’t help but criticize Beluti a few tis.
She really hadn’t anticipated that the saint, whose fa and life experiences were even more legendary than hers, would invite Reiger out alone in the middle of the night.
Even though facing Beluti always put pressure on Naisa, she didn’t expect soone like Beluti to sneak away just to win over Reiger.
Who would have thought, she was entirely wrong.
Even the famous saint, a kind-hearted angel, would sneak away when encountering her own savior!
Never again would she trust those foxes out there!
Beluti didn’t explain, never stating her intentions for inviting Reiger out, only sincerely apologizing.
Perhaps she didn’t want to unnecessarily complicate things or add unexpected twists to her plan to close the Abyss Gate?
This kind-hearted saint probably intended to not argue back, even when scolded by Naisa, for the sake of her plan.
So in the end, it was Reiger who spoke a few words for Beluti, after which Naisa stopped her criticisms.
But as Beluti was about to leave after apologizing, her conversation with Reiger caught the attention of the girls.
"About that matter, have you not yet decided whether to agree to my request?"
Beluti cautiously asked Reiger.
Reiger thought for a mont and did not refuse.
Although taking Beluti might sowhat restrict his actions, given that he would have to ensure the safety of this saint, if it ant being able to close the historical Abyss Gate, cut off the abyss’ retreat, and eliminate the threat to the source, then Reiger was willing to take so risks.
Having been in this world for less than ten days, the experiences and expressions of the countless people who were thrilled by his arrival, conveyed to Reiger just how much these people wished to see the abyss defeated.
They have suffered from the abyss for too long, experienced too many tragedies and separations because of it. But due to the abyss being too terrifying and powerful, they could only watch helplessly.
Reiger’s arrival as the savior had given them hope to drive back the abyss.
Along with the care and various treatnts he received, and the attentive care from lo and Naisa, and the assistance provided by the Holy Sword Marfa, Reiger was willing to lend a hand to the source, helping solve a significant threat, even as a gesture of gratitude.
After all, he had to head to that black land, so why not?
Thus, Reiger agreed to Beluti’s request, making her extrely happy.
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
With these words, Beluti left feeling satisfied.
The curious girls then started to inquire.
"Your Excellency, what have you agreed to with Saint Beluti?"
Naisa cautiously asked, making lo, Jelina, Hilune, and the others subtly prick up their ears.
"Well..."
Reiger stretched out his tone, as if retaliating for being nagged by the girls earlier, and simply smiled, saying.
"Maybe you’ll find out tomorrow."
This mystery, naturally left lo and Naisa feeling very discontent.
But since Beluti didn’t wish to say, Reiger chose not to reveal it either.
As a result, Reiger spent the entire night under the resentful gazes of the girls, much like a husband caught cheating in the act.
