“The rhythm I sensed through my [Respiratory Art] was correct, for unknown reasons, Negary had fallen weak and is currently hiding somewhere to recuperate himself” standing on the 2nd floor of the manor, Chris said with conviction: “This is the best chance we’ll have to eliminate Negary”
“I understand. I also agree that we should eliminate Negary right now. Evil Spirits are nothing but faithless undead and embodiments of evil. We would definitely not leave it to grow” Augustin stood by the window looking down at the peacekeeping Crowmen surrounding this manor, openly monitoring this place.
His words caused Grosk to feel a bit embarrassed as it was merchants like him who flocked to this place that allowed Reya to become as powerful as it currently was.
“And so the main issue is whether we should send Isabella away first or keep them with us” Augustin paused briefly before continuing.
Hearing Augustin’s words, Chris’ gaze wandered towards the mother-daughter pair that was eating their meal on the ground floor.
This question truly needed proper consideration. First of all, sending Isabella and her daughter away first meant reducing both their fighting force and their chances of winning against Negary. Secondly, eliminating Negary meant that Augustin must remain here, and without Cardinal Augustin as escort, considering Seth the First’s attitude so far, it would be quite unknown whether or not Isabella would actually make it back safely.
But if they left Isabella and her daughter here, that would mean they were putting all their eggs into one basket. If they couldn’t defeat Negary, the mother-daughter pair would also remain here without being able to return to Interkam.
And most importantly, Reya itself wasn’t safe either, it wasn’t just Seth the First, the Royas Kingdom also didn’t hold any goodwill towards the ‘Saintress of Salvation’.
“For now, staying in Reya would be safer for Isabella and Nala” Chris pondered for a long time and finally answered: “Although there are enemies here, relatively speaking, but Negary would also keep them safe for the Dragon’s blood”
“The daughter of Dragon, Saintress of Salvation huh?” the symbol of understanding appeared on Augustin’s forehead as he observed Nala who was downstairs.
“Can I really eat as much as I like?” Nala looked up, her crystal-clear eyes opened wide and glittered as she asked a female priest. Because there weren’t many who had the constitution to accept the Grace of Salvation, even a woman could become a knight or priest of Divine Grace in the Interkam Kingdom.
“Of course you can. All of these were made for you and your mother, if there isn’t enough, I’ll make a bit more for you later” the female priest’s maternal instincts were touched by Nala’s pitiful gaze and gently told her.
“Really?” Nala opened her eyes even wider. Perhaps it was an illusion, but the female priest felt like she saw Nala’s eyes glow golden for a split second.
“Of course…” before the female priest could finish her words, Nala had already cheered and quickly stuffed as much food as she could into her mouth.
“Itz so dewicious, mama, haf some as well…” Nala’s mouth was so full that she looked like a squirrel, unable to speak clearly, causing Isabella to shed some tears out of guilt for not being able to fill her daughter’s stomach.
“She’s only a gluttonous little girl” Augustin commented as he lightly pinched his forehead, but exchanged very serious glances with Chris: “Her Dragon characteristics have already begun to awaken?”
