Chapter 40

"My sense of rhythm isn't wrong, Negri has fallen into a weakened state for some unknown reason and is currently hibernating somewhere" On the second floor of the courtyard, Chris spoke with certainty: "Now is the best chance to eliminate Negri"

"I understand, I agree to eliminate Negri right now. Evil spirits are all masterless dead creatures, they are unrighteous creatures, we can't just sit and watch them grow stronger" Augustin stood by the window and looked downstairs. The law enforcers who assisted the Crowmen in maintaining order had surrounded this courtyard, openly monitoring this place.

His words caused Grosk to feel a bit awkward, it was thanks to the influx of merchants like them that Reya was able to grow to its current state.

"So the question now is, should we send Isabella and the others away first, or keep them with us?" Augustin paused for a bit before continuing.

Hearing Augustin's words, Chris turned his gaze to Isabella and her daughter who were currently eating in the living room downstairs.

This was indeed a problem. If they sent people to escort Isabella and her daughter back, not only would they weaken their forces here, their chances of eliminating Negri would also decrease, but Augustin would also have to stay behind to eliminate Negri. Without Cardinal Augustin's group, with Seth the First's jealousy, Isabella and her daughter's journey back to Reya wouldn't be safe.

But if they left Isabella and her daughter behind, they might lose everything, not only would they not be able to eliminate Negri, they wouldn't even be able to bring Isabella and her daughter back to Interkam.

More importantly, Reya wasn't exactly safe either, the assassins sent by Seth the First and the people of the Kingdom of Royas also harbored ill intentions towards the so-called Saintess of Salvation.

"Staying in Reya for now would be safer for Isabella and her daughter" Chris went silent for a long while before continuing: "Although there are also enemies here, relatively speaking, Negri's people would also protect Isabella and her daughter for the sake of the dragon's blood"

"Daughter of Dragon, the Saintess of Salvation, huh?" the mark of insight on Augustin's forehead flickered as he observed Nala downstairs.

"Can I really eat all this food?" Nala looked up with a pair of large watery eyes and asked the other female priest. Because there weren't many constitutions suitable for Divine Grace, even women in Interkam were able to become priests and knights of Divine Grace.

"Of course not. These are all prepared for you. If it's not enough, I'll go get more later." The female priest looked at the pitiful Nala, and her motherly love exploded instantly.

"Really?" Nala said with her adorable eyes wide open. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but at that moment, the female Priestess seemed to see a flash of golden light in Nala's eyes.

"Of course it's true …" Before the female priest could finish her sentence, Nala cheered and ran to the table. Her little hands were waving quickly, stuffing everything she could reach into her mouth.

"It's really delicious. Mom, you should eat too." Nala's mouth was bulging like a big bun. She mumbled something, which made Isabella cry. She felt that she had been starving her daughter for a long time.

"She's just a gluttonous little girl" Augustin rubbed his forehead. Augustin rubbed his forehead as he spoke, but he secretly exchanged a glance with Chris and spoke with a heavy tone: "So the Draconic Trait has begun to awaken?"

"The problem now is how to defeat Negri. To defeat Negri, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult with our current strength" "Negary's group controls four Bizarre Scales, perhaps even more. These monsters are extremely powerful, combined with the unknown number of Crowmen, the young Spirit Shaman, and Negary himself, we will need even more power to eliminate Negary" Chris then explained the information he had gathered during this period of time: "Negary's group controls four Bizarre Scales, or perhaps even more.

"Grosk, you've been doing business here for a long time. Are there any Combatants that we can hire and trust?" Augustin turned to the merchant next to him and asked.

"I know of two people, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to convince them to help" Grosk thought for a bit and answered: "Both of them have different abilities, but their personalities are a bit strange, I'm not sure if they're currently in Reya"

"Then take us to see them. Chris, you should rest here for a bit, if you keep going like this, you'll soon be crippled" Augustin complained. As soon as he came in, he used the Grace of Salvation on Chris, so he understood just how weak Chris's body was.

"Got it" Chris didn't mind at all. He knew his own body better than anyone else, he wasn't afraid of death. Perhaps death was more of a form of relief for him. Thinking of something, Chris stood up.

Nala, who was still waving her hands at the dining table, suddenly heard someone calling her from upstairs. Her mouth was bulging with a chicken leg in her mouth and a piece of steak in her hand.

The golden-haired girl turned around and stared blankly at Chris who was standing on the stairs, apparently still in a daze.

"Nala, Mr. Chris is calling you." Isabella, who was at the side, said in a distressed and reproachful tone, "Also, you have to pay attention to your etiquette when you eat. You're too rude and not like a lady."

"I know, Mom." After finishing the drumstick in her mouth, Nala reluctantly looked at the steak in her hand. She put it back on the plate and wiped her mouth and hands with a napkin. She looked back at the food on the table every few steps and walked to Chris.

"Mr. Chris, what can I do for you?" Nala stared at Chris with her eyes wide open. Occasionally, she would sneak a glance back. Obviously, she was still thinking about the food on the table.

"Nala, do you want to protect your mother?" Chris pressed one hand on Nala's shoulder, constantly sensing her rhythm. When he felt that there was nothing wrong with her rhythm, he felt relieved and said.

"Of course, Nala will always protect Mom." Nala nodded and said seriously.

"Next, I will teach you some things. Once you learn them, you will be able to better protect Mom and yourself. You have to learn them seriously, okay?" Chris said seriously. Looking at Nala's confused eyes, it was as if he was looking at his past self who didn't know why he was wandering around.

Right now, Nala was still too young. There were many things that she didn't understand. Perhaps when she understood those things, she would grow up to be the Saintess of Salvation.

"What I'm going to teach you is called Breathing Technique!" Chris pressed his hand on Nala's shoulder and began to breathe at a strange frequency. The rhythm flowed from Chris's hand into Nala's body, causing her to start breathing.
