At that mont, Lord Reine noticed that after the battle with Andrews, combined with previous experiences against "Karawi," "Fog Specters," and others, the Giant Bear Sword Technique had now reached lv5 (1988/2000).
Only one step away, he could enter the gates of lv6.
So, when Jenny ca down from the carriage, her face full of worry, and hurried over with her long dress in both hands, what she saw was Lord Reine, who had been covered in sweat and contorted in pain, suddenly stand up with a look of joy, brimming with vigour.
It completely stunned Jenny!
"Lo... Lord Reine, are you all right?" Jenny stamred, still unable to recover from her shock.
"Eh! Miss Jenny, what brings you here?" Reine asked in surprise.
Could it be that the Crowley family was also involved in this matter?
After the recent ambush, Lord Reine's vigilance was exceptionally high.
"I... I ca to bring Lord Reine..."
"Wait! " Lord Reine gave a shushing gesture and said.
Because at that mont, he heard more cries of alarm coming from within Flashgold Town.
The noise was loud and seed further away, but with Lord Reine's perception, he could still faintly make out the screams and shouts of a crowd.
It seed that the Blackfla Church had not only sent Andrews.
And from the looks of it, their goal was not rely to kill him, but sothing bigger.
The purpose of the Blackfla Church's action this ti was probably anything but simple.
Lord Reine glanced at the corpse of Andrews beside him; the body, as evidence, couldn't be left exposed to the elents, and the battle loot had yet to be claid.
After a mont's thought, Lord Reine turned to Jenny and said, "Miss Jenny, could you collect my battle loot for ?"
"Ah? Battle loot?" Jenny was montarily astonished, failing to grasp his aning until Lord Reine pointed towards the unfamiliar knight's corpse, then she understood what he ant.
"I need to investigate the situation in town right now."
As he spoke, Lord Reine was about to head back to the town, but after taking a couple of steps, he turned back and cautioned:
"By the way, Miss Jenny, you should leave Flashgold Town as soon as possible."
At that ti, Jenny was staring at the grueso corpse nearby, lost in thought.
How... how should this be dealt with?
It was only at Lord Reine's reminder that she ca to her senses, hurriedly responding:
"Yes... of course, Lord Reine!"
Just then, two cavalryn were swiftly approaching from the direction of Flashgold Town.
Lord Reine's eyes narrowed at once, and he gripped the Glimring Greatsword in both hands, readying himself for combat.
"Wait... Lord Reine, those two look like my escort cavalry." Jenny was startled when she saw Reine draw his sword.
"Oh?" Even though Jenny said this, Lord Reine remained on guard.
After all, if he didn't learn from his previous experience, it would eventually be his doom.
After the two cavalryn arrived, they swiftly saluted Jenny and urgently reported, "Miss Jenny, the Flashgold Town church has been attacked, and the town's guard forces are weak. We advise you to leave Flashgold Town imdiately."
"The church?" Lord Reine's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly made a connection.
Today was Sunday, and there would be at least a hundred or two people in the church, Lord Reine,
Andrews... the Blackfla Church?
Could it be that the Blackfla Church was intending to perform a blood sacrifice in Flashgold Town?
Because during his training as a page, Lord Reine had heard about the cult sacrifice incident in Monheim Town.
After becoming the Captain of the Night Watchman, Lord Reine even went to check the relevant records; the truth was more grueso than the rumors, with over a hundred people dead in Monheim Town at once.
The official response of the Empire to conclude the matter was to bla seven or eight bandits, but Lord Reine knew it was a stopgap asure by County Town to quickly calm the public's unrest and to downplay the incident.
Now thinking about it, it was most likely also the handiwork of the Blackfla Church!
"Cough... I won't leave, he is Lord Reine, the Deputy Sheriff of Flashgold Town. You two arrived at the right ti, help the Lord with collecting the battle loot," Jenny quickly assessed the situation and then declined the cavalryn's suggestion.
Jenny was very clear in her thoughts.
Although staying in Flashgold Town was dangerous, this was an excellent opportunity to strengthen her bond with Lord Reine.
"Battle loot?" The two cavalryn took a look around and imdiately saw the bloody heap, jumping in fright.
"This was a rogue of senior knight strength, already slain by Lord Reine. We'll just follow Lord Reine and assist with collecting the battle loot," Jenny said.
Senior knight?
Was that bloody mass a senior knight?
This made the two cavalryn look again, finding indeed a plate-armored knight. They exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
In that case, there really was no need to retreat just yet.
"Yes, Miss Jenny," the two cavalryn imdiately jumped off their horses, filled with confidence, and began the collection.
Lord Reine glanced at Jenny, sowhat surprised that the noble lady had such courage and so much confidence in him.
He nodded at Jenny and said, "I'll go first, you can follow behind at your own pace. If sothing doesn't feel right, leave imdiately without hesitation."
"Of course, Lord Reine," Jenny replied with a pleased look, spotting that look of acknowledgnt from Reine, and quickly nodded in agreent.
At once, Lord Reine dashed towards Flashgold Town, while occasionally glancing at the Knight (Transcendent) panel.
