Under the continuous healing of Diya Flatel, Reiger’s wounds had soon fully recovered.
The sa went for the soreness caused by overusing "Wind Spirit Swift Walk." With highly versatile tier Magic at his disposal, Reiger no longer felt helpless like before; he could fully recover his state using Recovery Magic.
So, about five minutes passed, and Reiger had beco completely rejuvenated.
"[Portal]."
After sensing the location and direction of Altoria on the other end of the "ssage," Reiger activated the highest-ranking teleportation magic, allowing a semicircle of darkness that devoured space to unfold before him.
Stepping into the "[Portal]," Reiger only felt his vision blur for a mont before he found himself in another place.
It seed to be a forest on the outskirts of Calot. The forest wasn’t large, and the trees were relatively small, typical of the terrains commonly found in the wilderness.
Altoria was pacing there, looking a bit restless, but her eyes lit up and she quickly ran over when Reiger appeared.
Watching Altoria’s expression shift from anxiety to joy as she rushed towards him, Reiger thought for a mont and eventually extended his hand, aiming for the fairy girl’s head, and knocked her on it vigorously.
"Bang!"
With the loud impact, Altoria’s joy twisted as she scread and once again clutched her head and crouched down.
"What are you doing!?"
Altoria, teary-eyed, loudly protested.
"That’s what I should be asking!" Reiger finally began settling scores, saying, "Didn’t I already send you a ssage telling you not to worry about , that I would co find you in a month?"
In Reiger’s view, Altoria’s rescue was completely unnecessary.
He had already fulfilled the "condition" set by Morgan. All he had to do was wait for the wedding to end, after which he could leave on his and Morgan shouldn’t be able to stop him then.
If he could be stopped, then Her Majesty had not ant what she said before.
Therefore, this conflict could have been avoided if Altoria had not shown up, and Reiger would have left Calot in just another day or two.
However, because Altoria suddenly appeared, an unnecessary conflict ensued.
At least, in Reiger’s sense, the reason why Morgan would send Elf Knights to prevent him from leaving was precisely because of Altoria’s appearance.
Simply put, Her Majesty might have been jealous, not wanting to see Reiger taken away by her archenemy, hence she issued such an order to cause him trouble.
Although it sounded far-fetched and uncharacteristic of Her Majesty, the hostility she showed when facing Altoria was undeniably intense. To Reiger, there was no question about it.
And despite telling her explicitly not to worry about him, she still ca to Calot on her own accord, leading to an unnecessary conflict. Thinking of this, Reiger couldn’t help but knock Altoria on the head again.
However, hearing Reiger’s words, Altoria looked utterly baffled.
"A ssage? What ssage?"
The fairy girl’s puzzled expression made Reiger slightly taken aback.
"What?" Reiger expressed his surprise, "Didn’t you encounter the familiar I sent?"
"Familiar?" Altoria beca even more confused, saying, "Did you send sothing to ? I didn’t see anything!"
Hearing this, Reiger furrowed his brows.
The ssenger crow didn’t find Altoria?
Could it be? Its special ability was to accurately locate a person who had been in physical contact with the summoner within a certain period. Although Reiger had never used it, the knowledge of such creatures he acquired in the world of the Overlord had never been faulty in this regard.
So, what could be the reason the ssenger crow didn’t make it to Altoria?
"Was there an incident along the way?"
That was the only possibility left.
Unless soone intercepted it mid-way, under normal circumstances, the ssenger crow would have flown straight to Altoria.
The question was, what caused the ssenger crow to be intercepted?
Was it sabotaged? Or was it just coincidence?
This is Fairy Country Britannia, the wilderness is not entirely safe, even without Morsels, many wild beasts and magical creatures could pose a threat. If the ssenger crow encountered a magical beast with flying capabilities, it was highly possible that it was attacked.
However, if it was randomly attacked by a magical beast, Reiger should have sensed that sothing was wrong with the ssenger crow.
When summoning creatures using Summoning Magic, a bond akin to a pact forms between the summoner and the summoned.
Therefore, the creatures summoned would possess part of the summoner’s ideas and knowledge during the effective duration of the summoning spell and would imdiately understand who is an enemy and who is an ally, and act accordingly, thanks to this chanism.
Besides, there still exists a ntal connection between the summoner and the summoned creature; even without magic like "ssage," they can receive commands directly from the summoner’s heart.
