Chapter 532: 468 Reiger’s Plan_3
In such a situation, Reiger suddenly said this.
"If you really have no plans, why not try ringing those Pilgrimage Bells."
When these words came from Reiger’s mouth, Altoria was stunned.
"Why?" Altoria asked in surprise, "Didn’t you say that the fairies of Fairy Country aren’t worth saving?"
"That’s true," Reiger did not change his statement, yet he said, "But ringing the Pilgrimage Bell and saving the Fairy Country of Britain are two different matters."
Well aware of the original story, Reiger naturally knew what the Pilgrimage Bell really was.
"Ringing the Pilgrimage Bell is actually a ritual to liberate the power you hold as a Paradise Fairy."
Reiger’s words made Altoria hold her breath.
"Liberate... the power of a Paradise Fairy...?"
Altoria murmured.
"Exactly." Reiger nodded and said, "You were not born with the astonishing power typical of other fairies, but rather like humans, capable of growing stronger with age and training."
"But that doesn’t mean your power can only be enhanced through training."
"If you can ring the Pilgrimage Bell, then you can gradually liberate the power of being a Paradise Fairy."
"Thus, the Pilgrimage Bell is actually a tool for you to grow stronger, the more bells you ring, the stronger you will become."
Reiger told Altoria this.
"Is there really such a thing?" Altoria felt like her understanding was being overturned, and after recovering her senses, she looked incredulously at Reiger and said, "How do you know these things?"
After all, this enigmatic human had revealed on several occasions a side of him that seemed to know some secrets, right?
Did he know a lot?
Even about Paradise Fairy, Pilgrimage Bell, pilgrimage journey, the prophesied child, and the savior, he seemed to know quite a lot, didn’t he?
Why was that?
Altoria unconsciously stared intently at Reiger, her vision even flipping upside down.
However, the moment Altoria fixed her gaze on him, Reiger unhesitatingly made a move.
That was, to flick her forehead.
"Snap!"
His bent finger sharply flicked Altoria’s smooth forehead, causing the girl to cry out in pain.
"You, you were nearly destroyed by those eyes of yours, yet when faced with a question, you like to stare at others with those eyes, that’s not a good habit, is it?"
Reiger rolled his eyes at Altoria, who was holding her forehead, her eyes tearful with anger glaring at Reiger.
Reiger ignored the fairy girl’s silent accusations, pursed his lips, and then said.
"Actually, just like you, I was not born in Fairy Country Britain, but came from another place."
At this, Altoria sharply inhaled.
"You, you weren’t born in Fairy Country?"
Altoria was truly surprised this time.
"Yes." Reiger simply nodded and continued, "That’s why I know quite a bit about this country, about you, and even the dirty affairs of many fairies."
"Of course, knowing is just knowing, but that’s not why I came."
"My arrival, your mission, your identity, and this country have nothing to do with it, it was just a chance encounter."
"You don’t need to worry, my meeting you and everything happening now is purely accidental and natural."
With these words, Reiger left quite a few mysteries.
But that wasn’t important.
What was important was that Altoria could tell, this was no lie.
"Do you need me to tell you more?"
Looking at Altoria’s eyes, which were becoming complicated yet clear, Reiger slightly smiled and said.
"...No, that’s not necessary."
Altoria soothed her forehead, and after a while, she laughed.
"Knowing this much is enough."
Indeed, knowing this much was enough.
"Alright." Reiger nodded and said, "Perhaps you are still a bit lost, unsure of what to do next, that’s not unusual."
"But whatever you decide to do later, first figure out a way to enhance your own strength, that surely won’t be a mistake."
"Whether you later want to save Fairy Country, defeat the queen, or do nothing and just survive, not burdened by the identity of the prophesied child, you will need the power to ensure it."
"Without power, even if you do nothing, you might still be targeted by those sent by the queen, like Woodworth."
Reiger thus shared his thoughts with Altoria.
"I think you could start by ringing one or two Pilgrimage Bells, gain some power, understand this country to some extent, and then decide what to do next."
"Of course, this is just my thought, merely a suggestion."
"What you decide to do is ultimately up to you."
Having said this, Reiger no longer spoke any more.
"..."
Altoria too fell into thought, not speaking anymore.
Both of them quieted down, standing face to face, but their gazes were not on each other.
After a long while, Altoria asked Reiger a question.
"And you?" Altoria looked intently at Reiger and asked, "What are your plans next?"
Reiger momentarily blinked and smiled.
"As for me, as long as there are people who can spar with me, I will be satisfied."
Saying this, Reiger lifted his gaze toward the other end of the horizon.
"If possible, I’d like to go to Camelot, to meet that queen, to meet those Elf Knights."
