Chapter 1158 - 853: Ultimately Not a Saint

They also couldn’t believe that a small country would risk annihilation to invade the territory of the Tistis Kingdom.

Who would have thought that today, the Luke Kingdom not only dared to do it but did so openly and boldly.

As a result, a Beryll Earl family, a border city with its highest combat strength only at the level of a senior swordsman, naturally couldn’t ensure the safety of this city under the circumstances of the enemy being well-prepared.

Today, if it weren’t for Reiger and the others arriving at the border of the Tistis Kingdom, Mitter City would’ve definitely fallen, and the Beryll Earl’s territory might have been fully invaded, causing Tistis Kingdom to lose precious land and be overshadowed by a small country.

"I see, you’ve had it tough too."

Reiger gave a slight consolation to this valiant knight, allowing the other party to relax a bit.

Thus, Shu’en finally remembered what he most needed to do, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply to Reiger.

"Thank you very much for your assistance today. I will report this matter to the family and the mayor, and ensure they prepare worthwhile gifts for you all."

Yes, the most important thing to do now is to offer thanks.

No matter what, the opposing party saved him and the entire Mitter City. Regardless of their origins or purposes, he should express gratitude.

This is not a minor or trivial favor.

Though it was only a border war, without their help, the border of the Tistis Kingdom would have been breached, and Mitter City would have faced total destruction, possibly irrevocably lost, with no hope of resurgence.

If the border of the Tistis Kingdom was breached by a small robber country that they had never looked up to, it would certainly become a disgrace for the Kingdom, turning it into a joke of the entire continent.

This is something Shu’en absolutely cannot endure.

Therefore, no matter what, the thanks must be given.

Moreover, the opposing party has a Sword Saint’s Attendant and a group of clearly extraordinary individuals quietly accompanying him, their origin must be incredibly impressive, perhaps not someone a Beryll Earl could offend lightly.

Thinking of this, Shu’en became even more polite.

"Please, come into the city with me, so I can host you properly."

Upon hearing this, Reiger thought for a moment and finally nodded.

"Alright, let’s take the trouble."

After all, his original purpose was to enter the city, inquire about some information, and make some preparations for the journey. Now with the invitation of Mitter’s second-in-command, things would naturally proceed smoother.

As for the others, seeing Reiger make the decision, naturally had no objections, and silently followed behind him, invited by Shu’en into Mitter.

...

Due to the city’s recent breach, the walls and gates were bombed and collapsed. When Reiger and the others entered Mitter City, it first presented a scene of desolation.

Buildings close to the city gates were affected by the war, some still burning, and the ground everywhere was littered with corpses, both of Mitter City’s guards and Luke Kingdom’s soldiers.

The ground was stained with blood, and one could even see some civilians ruthlessly slaughtered, with a group of surviving relatives crying bitterly beside their bodies, causing Liz to show an expression of sympathy, and made Ivy and Leo furrow their brows.

In addition, many wounded were lying on the ground groaning, since the war had just ended, there were barely any people to care for them, leaving them without the treatment of being helped aside for healing.

This caused Shu’en to darken his face as well.

"Quick! Have someone tend to the wounded!"

Shu’en shouted at the guards beside him.

However, at this moment, the slightly silent Reiger suddenly spoke.

"Let me handle this."

Saying this, Reiger ignored Shu’en’s stunned look and stretched out his hand.

"[Magic Incantation-less Form: Diya Flatel]."

Instantly, a pure white magic array expanded from beneath Reiger’s feet, quickly covering the entire scene.

Silver particles floated up from the magic array, falling onto those wounded, causing their injuries to heal at a visible speed.

This scene not only caught Ivy and Leo’s attention but also left Shu’en gazing at Reiger in astonishment.

"Are you a tactical-level magician?"

Shu’en blurted out.

Though Shu’en was amazed by the powerful effect of Reiger’s healing magic, what surprised him even more was its range of effect.

Such a large range, by any standard, should be tactical-level magic, right?

And a magician capable of using tactical level magic is a tactical-level magician, no?

"Well, sort of."

Reiger didn’t elaborate much and said this indifferently.

But because of this, Shu’en thought that Reiger might not just be a tactical-level magician.

At least, he had never heard of a tactical-level magician having a Sword Saint as an attendant.

Not to mention tactical-level magicians, even strategic-level magicians couldn’t achieve that.

A Sword Saint is the highest glory of the swordsman, while a strategic-level magician is the highest glory of a magician. The positions of the two are generally equal, belonging to the continent’s top tier.

Thus, having a Sword Saint as an attendant, as far as Shu’en knew, might be a privilege only granted to a king like the Queen.

Reiger Brillhaut... could he possibly be the king of a great country?

Shu’en’s heart skipped a beat, becoming unconsciously more respectful in attitude.

If even Shu’en was like this, the surrounding people looked at Reiger with eyes akin to seeing a god.

"Who is that?"

"What an impressive magic."

"Is he from the Beryll family?"

"Does the Beryll Earl have such a powerful magician under him?"

"That healing magic must be at least tactical level, right?"

"Tactical-level magician..."

The soldiers whispered among themselves.

Those who were healed bowed in gratitude, thanking Reiger for his help.

And those who lost family members saw this scene and surprisingly rushed to Reiger, begging him to revive their loved ones.

This was a very unreasonable request. At least Shu’en had never heard of a magician who could bring back the dead, so he sent people to dismiss them.

Reiger watched this scene silently, without intending to intervene.

He was capable of resurrecting the deceased but had no plans to do so.

Resurrection magic in this world is a miracle only a god can perform. Even Yuri had repeatedly warned Reiger never to reveal it, or he would become a target and watched by people with ill intentions across the continent.

Though he was unafraid, he didn’t want to expose his cards unnecessarily, inviting troublesome attention.

The people here were strangers to him, after all; he was willing to lend a hand and save some innocents within his ability, but if it would bring too much impact to himself, he wouldn’t seek trouble.

Here in the Tistis Kingdom, being new and unaware of future encounters, it was best not to do anything too noticeable, to avoid affecting subsequent actions.

Ultimately, he wasn’t a saint, and he’s reached his limit of benevolence.

...

Led by Shu’en, about half an hour later, Reiger and company arrived at Mitter’s mayoral residence.

"I’ve sent word to the mayor, please proceed to the guest room."

Shu’en continued leading Reiger and his group into the guest room of the mayor’s residence.

There, a person with a secretary seemed to have been waiting for a long time, standing up promptly as Reiger entered.

"Welcome to Mitter, I am Mitter’s mayor, Raphy Beryll."

This was a middle-aged woman bearing the Beryll family name.

"I am grateful for your guidance."
