Reiger continued to stroke Liz's head, thinking to himself.
But precisely because Liz was such a person, Reiger felt that this matter couldn't just be left alone.
"If I don't stand up for you, who else will?" he said softly.
"I don't mind, Master," Liz quickly responded.
"I know you don't mind," Reiger said with a slight smile, "but I can't help but care, do you understand?"
If those who attacked last night had just been clueless fools easily taken care of, Reiger wouldn't have been so intent on pursuing the matter.
Unfortunately, they were not.
Those eerie attackers possessed odd abilities, not only having the strength to instantly subdue Liz, a proper Swordsman, but also moving through the camp as if it were uninhabited, leaving the many Knights stationed there utterly unresponsive.
