Chapter 1786 - 1200: We Can Crown You King
Whether from Yuri or Charity’s perspective, Lani is always seen as a very gentle, peaceful, almost motherly figure.
Therefore, both Yuri and Charity have a very high opinion of Lani, and their feelings for her are quite profound.
But who could have imagined? Under that gentle personality, contrasting with her charming and alluring appearance, lies a heart unwilling to submit.
She wants to rebel against her family, against her predetermined destiny, and even against this world, against the unreasonable aspects of existence. Such wishes, such grand ambitions, are more daring than the aspirations of an ambitious man.
"Is that so?"
Reiger listened quietly, ultimately saying nothing, merely nodding to accept this notion.
But Lani did not wish to stop there.
"Reiger Brillhaut, I’ve always been very curious about you."
Lani actually looked at Reiger and said these words.
"My initial curiosity was because of Yuri, that child."
"Because that child sees you in a different light, and knowing her so well, I suddenly started paying attention to you, becoming intensely curious about you."
"I know, in front of you that child always presents herself as reasonable, having some kind of mental connection with you. But if it’s you, you should be able to understand, that child, like me, refuses to submit, and her heart is more proud than anyone else’s."
Reiger naturally agreed with this statement.
He indeed understood Yuri well, knowing how restless this young lady truly was.
Even though she was already the highest-ranking tactical-level magician in the kingdom, a historically renowned genius, she always felt her identity and abilities constrained her, and she has been striving hard to break free from these shackles.
Under ordinary circumstances, once someone becomes a tactical-level magician, they wouldn’t care much for combat-level magic. Yet Yuri, in order to equip herself with the strength to break free, has been honing her combat-level magic skills, striving to stand on the stage of the strong, possessing the power to stand shoulder to shoulder with the kingdom’s top elites.
She indeed refuses to submit, her heart prouder than anyone else’s.
Yet such a person, ended up getting along exceptionally well with a rural lad, almost on the brink of death due to a mysterious injury from a chance encounter, even becoming a harmonious friend on a mental level, naturally arousing Lani’s curiosity.
"From that time, I’ve been observing you, even investigating you."
"But the more I investigated, the more incredible I found it."
"After all, before encountering Yuri, you were really just a nondescript guy, at most possessing the talent to become a tactical-level magician, a level of talent that might attract some minor nobles, but for a super genius like Yuri, it was far too dim."
"But after meeting Yuri, your entire being transformed as if reborn, not only becoming the youngest sword saint in history but also a strategic-level magician, and even that was not your limit."
"Every time I pay attention to you, you seem to transform anew, as if having no limit, constantly growing stronger."
As Lani spoke, her gaze upon Reiger also became sharp.
"I’ve always wondered, what could possibly transform an originally unremarkable rural boy into such a figure."
"Until... they appeared by your side."
Lani’s gaze shifted to Yuloli and Liz, who were fiercely battling the "Tyrant" and "Ba Snake."
"What do you mean to say?"
Reiger spoke out impassively.
"I mean, your transformation must be related to Reinnaier or perhaps the ancient magic civilization, right?" Lani, as if trying to see through Reiger, said with a knowing smile, "You must have some encounters that others do not know of yet."
"Such an encounter must trace back to miraculous times during the ancient magic civilization period."
"Either related to Reinnaier, or directly related to that mysterious ’God.’"
"Otherwise, you wouldn’t have experienced such an astonishing change, nor have the capability to take members of the hero lineage as your attendants."
Reaching this point, Lani deliberately told Reiger something.
"The bloodline of Reinnaier is special and powerful, much stronger than Tistis."
"And whether it’s Reinnaier or Tistis, if it were in the diluted state common in the royal and noble families of a queendom, where the special nature of the bloodline is almost nonexistent, that would be one thing. But in circumstances like Charity and the princess where the atavistic bloodline manifests, even if someone were to force them into a contract with the highest grade contract document, the contract document would still not be effective."
"They are born great, the power within their bloodline cannot be bound by a mere contract document."
"Unless... The person taking them as attendants is even more special."
At these words, Reiger’s brow furrowed.
He was truly unaware of this, and had never expected it.
"Is there truly such a thing?"
Reiger couldn’t help but think of that witch-like High Priest.
Now thinking it over, the fact that the High Priest was so readily accepting of him taking royalty as attendants and easily agreed to let him access the seal on the rear mountain, entering and retrieving something from it, was likely because she had linked it to something.
