Reiger naturally didnât know that his appearance caused so many complex emotions among those who had past connections with him.
After entering, it wasnât long before he was greeted by many people.
They almost swarmed around Reiger, starting to chat with him.
There were nobles, royals, and even many people Reiger knew.
Like Revin Meipros, who came up to Reiger amidst everyoneâs attention and reminisced with him.
Nipede also came. Upon seeing Reiger, he immediately exclaimed repeatedly, saying he didnât expect that in just a short time, Reiger had accomplished so many great things.
And then there was Flon Bolei. This Kingdom Knight Corps Commander approached and immediately gave Reiger a fiery look.
"Youâre stronger than I imagined. Iâll find time to challenge you."
After throwing out this sentence, Flon left.
Flonâs decisiveness almost caught Yuri off guard.
"Were you just issued a challenge by that person?"
Yuri asked Reiger somewhat uncertainly.
"Probably?" Reiger smiled wryly and said, "As expected of the Sword Saint Family, direct enough."
Reiger was also somewhat interested in Flonâs challenge.
As the kingdomâs apparent strongest force, Flon definitely possesses Level 8 strength, perhaps not matching Redson, but certainly not weaker than Ota.
Indeed, he does qualify to challenge me.
Thinking back to the last three months in the Earth Mistake World, Ota challenged me.
At that time, Otaâs Beastification left a deep impression on him.
As the Kingdom Knight Corps Commander of the Ginas Kingdom, Flonâs strength probably wonât be weaker than Ota after using Beastification, right?
With this in mind, Reigerâs interest grew even more.
Itâs worth mentioning that besides Flon, two others greeted Reiger and seemed like they wanted to challenge him.
One was Dihart from the Codelion Family.
This One-eyed Sword Saint, after being defeated by Reiger, was once driven to madness, and his remaining eye is still dark, showing no signs of recovery.
The others who were controlled shared the same fate, even though Solok, the mastermind, was dead, they hadnât returned to normal.
Lately, Reiger found a way to restore them.
It was quite simple; just destroy that ominous black curved sword.
What controlled Dihart and the others was not Solok, but this black curved sword.
After obtaining this black curved sword, Reiger used magic to identify its specific effects and destroyed it, restoring Dihart and the others to normal.
This caused some dissatisfaction among the royal family.
"Since thereâs a way to restore those under control, why kill the Shadow Sword Saint?"
Sword Saints, as the highest level of individual combat power within the nation, were considered national treasures.
Shadow Sword Saint Rom, nurtured by the royal family and deeply loyal to them, was slain by Reiger while under control, leaving the royal family both pained and outraged.
Unfortunately, they didnât dare express their dissatisfaction directly to Reiger, or he wouldnât tolerate such bad behaviors.
Even though Rom the Shadow Sword Saint was controlled, Reiger didnât feel it was wrong to kill him.
In the beginning, this Shadow Sword Saint had already clashed with him over Lizâs matter; in the incident where Liz was detained, it was this old man who led the "Shadow" forces to besiege him, showing no mercy.
This time, he attempted another backstab, and even when sliced in half, he was still trying to pounce on me. Why keep him around?
Thinking of the Shadow Sword Saint, Reiger couldnât help but recall the man-made labyrinth campaign in the Earth Mistake World.
At that time, he went to deal with the masked freak Yeâen and encountered the Polluted Immortal Spiritâs true form, Aleye, while Finn, far at the First Division, was ambushed by remnants of the dark faction, namely that madwoman Valleta.
This madwoman had undergone colorful magic stone modifications, becoming a new freak, secretly invading the battlefield where the First Division was, attacking Finn, almost leading to his death.
Afterwards, this ambush was brutally torn apart by Theone, who had rushed to the battlefield, and dismembered on the spot.
Compared to her, Rom the attacker was treated rather well. At least Reiger didnât kill him personally; he died from brain damage caused by Reigerâs Memory Manipulation and subsequent bleeding out.
If the royal family dared to protest because of this, he would let those people experience brain damage too.
Of course, compared to Rom, Dihartâs treatment was genuinely good, at least he had a chance to return to normal.
However, this One-eyed Sword Saint, upon learning he was instantly killed by Reiger with one strike, came over to express his discontent.
"I know Iâm not your match, but I still want to prove that I definitely wonât fall under a single blow."
This former slave wasnât particularly competitive.
But he had sworn loyalty to Saint Nidor and was deeply devoted.
Therefore, he wanted to prove to others that Dihart under Saint Nidor Kedalion was a formidable warrior, to demonstrate Saint Nidorâs discerning eye.
This seemed somewhat straightforward to Reiger.
"If you are truly loyal to Saint Nidor, you should know that if you challenge me at this time and offend me, your masterâs throne might not be secure."
Fortunately, Reiger wasnât a petty person. Instead, he happily agreed.
Although, to the current Reiger, Dihartâs strength was somewhat lacking, he was still a Lv.7 Sword Saint and could provide Reiger with some experience points, right?
Reiger hadnât forgotten that he was waiting for a substantial amount of experience points to enhance various ability parameters.
Once all his abilities were upgraded to SSS, he could immediately level up and become a true Lv.9.
In this way, Reiger naturally welcomed any challenger who could provide him with experience points.
It was also for this reason that Reiger did not refuse the second challenger who came afterward.
The man was a robust middle-aged person, in his thirties, significantly younger than Flon, Revin, and Dihart.
"I am Alto Petrasch, pleased to meet you for the first time; please guide me, Thunder Light Sword Saint."
Without any reservation, the other party greeted Reiger like an amiable uncle neighbor.
"You are Alto Petrasch?"
Of course, Reiger knew who this person was.
He was the Meteor Sword Saint, who had been wandering outside, and before Reiger appeared, the youngest new Sword Saint of the Kingdom of Ginas.
Beside this Sword Saint in his prime, there was another person.
He was a nobleman, similar in age to Alto. Upon first glance, he seemed courteous, but there was a faint sense of pride in his demeanor.
"I am Bagaman Murajit."
The other introduced himself while performing a bow.
"Iâve long admired you, Lord Reiger Brillhaut."
Upon hearing this introduction, Reiger narrowed his eyes.
Of course, he knew this name too.
The Murajit family, a Marquis family, was an ancient lineage that had existed since the founding of the Kingdom of Ginas, much like the Borlay family.
Unlike the Borlay family, renowned for producing successive Sword Saints, the Murajit family was most famous for nurturing magicians.
It is said that the original founder of Spreeler Academy was an ancestor of the Murajit family, which has produced excellent magicians generation after generation, including some tactical-level and even strategic-level magicians.
The current head of the Murajit family was this person standing before him, Bagaman Murajit.
He was both a Marquis of the Kingdom and one of the kingdomâs two strategic-level magicians.
Indeed.
In the Kingdom of Ginas, besides Yuri, the other strategic-level magician was him.
Due to the unique nature of the Murajit family, this strategic-level magician had even more authority in the kingdom than Yuri.
At this moment, this renowned strategic-level magician, together with Meteor Sword Saint Alto, was present.
And then...
"Itâs been a long time; you are as beautiful as ever, Miss Yuri."
Bagaman turned his gaze and looked at Yuri, who was beside Reiger, showing a smile that was nothing short of passionate, in stark contrast to his courteous behavior towards Reiger.
"Itâs been a while, Marquis Murajit."
Yuri, who had been cautiously glancing in Reigerâs direction since Bagamanâs appearance, lifted her skirt with some helplessness and curtsied when he greeted her.
Seeing Bagaman exhibit such enthusiasm towards Yuri, Reigerâs expression turned somewhat enigmatic, while Alto grinned, pretending ignorance.
Only Liz and others standing behind Reiger sensed the unusual atmosphere.
"Oh?"
Lilith narrowed her eyes, her gaze toward Bagaman becoming somewhat dangerous.
"Um..." Liz tugged on Lilithâs hand lightly and whispered, "Please donât act impulsively, Miss Lilith."
"?"
Yuloli tilted her head, appearing puzzled.
As for those around, upon witnessing this scene, they collectively lowered their voices and slightly distanced themselves from the vicinity.
"This should be interesting."
In the distance, Saint Charia watched with schadenfreude.
Every noble of the kingdom knew that Marquis Bagaman Murajit had some thoughts about Marquis Yuri of the Frenzell family.
Because the Murajit family had been a typical bloodline supremacy advocate for generations.
They firmly believed that if an excellent magician paired with another excellent magician, their offspring would surely be outstanding magicians as well.
Bagaman was of this belief too.
And thus, Yuri had become his target.
