Chapter 441: 413 The Difference Between Sword Saints
Meipros Territory, Besare.
Just as everyone describes when mentioning this city, it’s known as a military base.
In this city, there’s not a single civilian idle every day, nor are there any deserted areas; what exists are various activities revolving around a single theme.
This theme is the military.
The merchandise sold here is fundamentally related to the military.
The citizens living here are almost all engaged in some form of work that is beneficial to military development.
Whether it’s producing food, forging weapons, or even making everyday goods, the primary customers for these industries are the knights and soldiers on the frontlines, or rather, the Meipros family who leads these knights and soldiers.
Thanks to this, the city’s militarized atmosphere is quite intense, and the citizens conduct themselves with a feeling akin to military training, making all matters seem exceptionally orderly, including the merchant calls and the sounds from the forge in the industrial district, all perfectly integrated into this city.
"This is Besare."
Upon the carriage approaching their destination, Nipede took the time to introduce Besare to everyone, allowing them to gain a certain understanding of this military base.
Nipede and Antie then came onto the carriage of Reiger and the others, sitting together on the ride.
This happened in the morning.
Since Ophelit had died, all the knights of the Hadi family had left as well, so naturally, Nipede and Antie could no longer travel to Besare in the Hadi family’s magic carriage as before.
Thus, upon Reiger’s invitation, Nipede and Antie boarded this carriage, together with everyone else, and after a long day’s journey, they finally reached the outskirts of Besare just before sunset and before evening had arrived.
Reiger could see the city, which was growing increasingly closer, through the window.
In his view, a city that seemed to have been forged from steel gradually enlarged, allowing him to take in the sight of the city bit by bit.
Fannie and Gel also saw the city of steel and tensed up.
"Finally, we’re almost there..."
Gel’s expression was complex.
"Finn..."
Fannie’s small hands clasped in front of her chest, thinking about her brother who might have already disappeared, her appearance filled with worry.
Nipede then turned to look at Reiger and said.
"Knight Brilliant, are you sure you want to enter the city with us?"
When he asked this question, Nipede also looked very worried, very helpless.
"You killed the son of Lord Hadi, and I’m sure the news has reached them by now. Under these circumstances, I really don’t approve of you entering Besare with us."
One must know, Besare is the Meipros family’s territory, the stronghold of the Border Guardian Sword Saint Lord Meipros.
Reiger had just killed their nephew, and if he now enters the city brazenly, trouble is definitely brewing.
Therefore, Nipede actually hoped that Reiger would not enter the city, it would be best to avoid it for now to prevent an encounter with Revin.
However, Reiger said this.
"Originally, I hadn’t planned on entering Besare. Now, well..."
Reiger glanced at Liz, who was sitting at the driver’s seat and handling the horse, and seeing her somewhat disheartened appearance, he said this.
"I do want to meet that Border Guardian Sword Saint, to meet the Hadi family, and ask them how exactly they teach their children."
Without a doubt, Reiger also displayed emotions this time.
He had indeed killed Ophelit, avenged Liz, and removed a scourge from the Meipros Territory, but just doing that wasn’t enough to make him feel relieved.
Ophelit’s brazenness definitely stemmed from the indulgence of the older generation.
At least, Reiger didn’t believe that Ophelit’s father was unaware of the "good deeds" his son had done.
The Border Guardian Sword Saint was the same; Reiger didn’t believe that he was unaware of his nephew’s nature.
Yet they chose to turn a blind eye, letting Ophelit continue his lawless actions without restraint, and merely for that, they were not innocent.
If the harm had only been towards refugees in this territory or people Reiger didn’t know, then, if Reiger had come across such a situation, he might simply kill the man and vent the frustration of those sufferers and that would be the end of it.
But since Ophelit had chosen to act against Liz, Reiger had no intention of letting it go at that.
"Revin Meipros, huh?"
Thinking of the Border Guardian Sword Saint, Reiger then inquired of Nipede.
"Looking at you, Lord Jialan, it seems you believe if I encounter that one, the situation will definitely turn very grim, right?"
Nipede responded with a wry smile.
"When two contemporary Sword Saints clash, won’t that situation turn extremely grim?" Nipede sighed and said, "Both of you are among the strongest swordsmen in the Genas Kingdom and both are unlike the typical Sword Saint."
"Lord Revin, aside from being a contemporary Sword Saint, also serves as the lord in charge of border defense, leading the kingdom’s forces."
"Knight Brilliant is not merely a Swordsman, but also a Magician with Tactical Level Magic potent enough to influence an entire legion."
"If you two actually come into conflict, it really would be quite unfortunate."
Apart from anything else, should something happen to Revin in a conflict with Reiger, with this border lacking his defense, trouble might arise within minutes.
