"Actually, in my heart, you’re the one who truly embodies knightly values," said Rein earnestly.
Whether it was nia’s performance in the recent battle or what Rein sensed from the battle scenes within nia’s consciousness fragnts, Rein had a deep-seated respect for this mature, beautiful, and wise woman before him.
Although Rein hadn’t fully rged with all of nia’s consciousness fragnts, he had seen enough to understand her character well.
Upon hearing Rein’s words, nia was slightly taken aback.
When she ca back to her senses, she found Rein still looking at her intently.
If it were soone else being so rude, nia would surely be angry.
In the past, even with Rein, nia would have felt offended.
But at this mont, she was different.
Unbeknownst to her, after going through the consciousness fusion with Rein, she inexplicably felt a natural closeness and familiarity with him.
In a way, this intimacy surpassed even that of a lover.
And Rein, looking at nia now, felt completely different than before, as if he were looking at Anna, at soone he knew very well.
"Thank you."
Under Rein’s gaze, the usually dignified and majestic ’Red Queen’ nia blushed slightly, feeling a bit shy, and most unusually, she slightly lowered her head in front of a young man.
If others saw this, they would be utterly shocked.
However, to Rein, nia at this mont appeared not only stately and dignified but also added a hint of mature femininity, making it even harder for him to look away.
"Re... Rein, I need so ti to recover."
"Ahem... of course, Prince nia." Rein quickly nodded, trying to conceal his earlier lapse of composure.
"However, although I brought healing potions, for the aftereffects of the Dragon Blood Sacrifice, they might not be very effective, so I might need several days to regain so combat capability."
nia’s beautiful eyes scanned her surroundings, seemingly assessing whether the location was safe.
"Don’t worry, Prince nia, as long as I’m here, you can safely recover here," Rein promptly assured her.
"By the way, is there anything I can help with?"
He had long noticed that although Prince nia appeared unhard, her aura was significantly more weakened and unstable.
She almost couldn’t maintain her level as a Fourth Level Dawn Wizard.
If imdiate treatnt or recovery wasn’t undertaken, it was highly likely that she would fall from the rank of Dawn Wizard.
This was understandable given the trendous power of the secret technique, as its aftereffects were exceedingly severe.
In fact, normally, after nia perford the Dragon Blood Sacrifice, her fate would have been dood.
Fortunately, Rein, the recipient of the Dragon Blood Sacrifice, was an anomaly and had sohow halted it, restoring everything to its original owner.
However, it wasn’t simply a matter of borrowing and returning.
It involved a series of extrely complex and precise changes, and even if nia recovered well, Rein knew that her power would likely drop by at least one level, becoming a Fourth Level Dawn Middle Stage Wizard, which was the best-case scenario.
If not addressed imdiately, there was a high likelihood of falling to Dawn Initial Stage.
In the worst-case scenario, she could fall to the Third Level Crystalization Peak.
"Thanks, no need for now," nia shook her head, saying.
"Alright, if you need anything, just call any ti."
As nia entered a deep ditation nearby, Rein once again made a careful round of the surroundings, ensuring no fierce species were in the Dark Lake and surrounding rock walls before returning to nia.
"This place is several hundred ters below the surface, and with the siphon effect creating a lake above, the chance of being discovered by the Sea God Sect is negligible."
"However, given what’s happened, the situation with the Federation might likely stir up quite a commotion."
He had just attempted to send a witchcraft ssage and found that, possibly due to being deep underground, the witchcraft waves were greatly affected, unable to reach Reginald.
"I wonder if Crown Reginald has managed to escape?"
After a brief consideration, Rein couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling there was a slight risk in proactively contacting Reginald.
Not that he worried about Reginald divulging their situation, but there was a chance that if there were many high-rank Sea God Sect wizards around the island, the process of sending a witchcraft ssage might be sensed by nearby wizards.
And with only a few remaining attribute points, if the Sea God Sect were drawn here and nia was at a critical recovery stage, it would be counterproductive.
However, Rein wasn’t without things to do.
Besides summarizing battle experiences, although he didn’t have the relevant materials for Elf leatherworking or Goblin engineering creations, he had not yet thoroughly studied the Goblin engineering knowledge he had morized in his mind.
Previously, Haleem had generously shared his research progress, advancing Rein’s precondition for becoming a Goblin Engineer (Legendary) - ’mastering relevant Goblin engineering knowledge,’ to 63%.
Therefore, Rein planned to use nia’s recovery interlude to see if he could further improve this progress.
