The game has become a real alternate world

"Count Vainsha, you all have managed to establish a sturdy settlement in such a place, my goodness.

If this were within the Empire, it would surely be a legendary story worthy of being sung about. I truly admire your courage and resilience." A slightly balding nobleman shook the Count's hand, looking very excited.

Whether he was truly excited or just acting, it was unclear.

Another noble, slightly younger, nodded in agreement beside him: "Your resilience puts us to shame, and the citizens of the Empire express their heartfelt sorrow for your plight.

The benevolent King and the Royal Council are deeply distressed by your situation.

Regarding the requests you previously made, they have agreed to the reasonable parts and have sent these resources to help you develop better here.

For the Kingdom, for humanity, bringing more homeland territories."

A torrent of flattery came directly at them, but it was coherent, praising truly praiseworthy things.

However, the only useful information in these words was just a little bit, at least the Cohen Kingdom agreed to some of the requests.

The slightly balding nobleman took out a lavish letter from his bosom, bearing the mark of the Cohen Kingdom's royal family.

It was sealed with the power of magic.

This nobleman broke the seal in front of the Count and handed the intact envelope to the Count.

The Count nodded and accepted it.

"This village is still fragile, we need to develop steadily, and the residents here are now also nationals.

Forgive me for being unable to personally go to the Royal Capital, I thank His Majesty the King and the lords of the Royal Council for their help and understanding.

I hope you can convey my thanks and apologies."

With that, the Count also took something from his bosom and heavily placed it in the noble's hand. He shook hands firmly, as if saying something exciting.

Feeling the object in his palm, the old noble visibly beamed a bright smile, nodded, and gave the Count a reassuring smile.

"Leave it to me, you are a courageous noble, you need not feel ashamed of your responsibilities.

I will deliver your words, and I'm sure all the lords will understand your difficulties, and your good name will be sung in the Imperial Capital."

"That's good, I'm counting on you, my lord. Why not stay here for a couple of days?"

Upon hearing such a proposal, the noble's smile froze for a moment but then resumed with a kind smile.

"After all, as you said, we need to quickly bring back your words. The King and all the lords are very concerned about your deeds and situation.

This is a beautiful village, I would surely spend a vacation here in the future if there's a chance."

The noble politely and decisively declined.

"Is that so, what a pity." The Count did not press him further, merely nodding in regret.

The brief meeting thus ended.

The two nobles mounted their warhorses, preparing to leave this village.

Their disdain for this place was hard to conceal through their actions.

While the Count and these two nobles were exchanging pleasantries and speaking empty words.

Kana took the opportunity to converse with Anita.

"Is your return this time to escort these two envoys?"

Anita's eyes lit up upon seeing Kana, and she nodded: "Yes, that's part of the reason. But more of it is to find you."

"Find me?"

"Yes, I want to gather some more detailed information from you. The Blood Race is secretly mobilizing their forces.

The sentinels at the fortress paid with their blood, and have somewhat managed to infiltrate the territory of the Blood Race's Royal Court.

They learned that they are gathering troops, a war is about to break out, with a swift enemy never dealt with before."

After speaking, Anita struck her chest with a solemn expression and reintroduced herself.

"Anita, my name. I am a Knight of Sevanna, the Cup-Bearing Saintess. Upon learning of the situation at Gray Rock Fortress, she instructed me to come ahead to understand the situation.

With your knowledge, you must have heard of her name or the Cup-Bearing Saintess."

Kana nodded slightly.

As for how this was known, it was naturally from the game since this was clearly a story character with a well-known name.

Being both a Saintess and Cup-Bearer.

As a member of the Holy Light Church, and even a Saintess, she held an important position.

Whether at the very beginning or later on, she was always active on the battlefield.

With both beauty and charisma, she naturally became a target of players' attention.

After all, the Holy Light Church is the only large organization that understood the doomsday prophecy and is truly taking action, attempting to avert it.

And the Cup-Bearing Saintess was the main person responsible for these actions in the early to mid-stages.

Even without recognizing this Saintess through Anita's channel, Kana would have looked for ways to acquaint her later.

"Since you've heard, I won't introduce further.

The Saintess has learned about your circumstances and some experiences, she wanted me to ask you to confirm if what you said about the birth of the Blood Race originating from the Stone of Creation?"

Kana nodded.

"There's no doubt about that."

"Is that so, then that's good. The Saintess hopes that if you go to Gray Rock Fortress in the future, you'll have a chance to meet her."

Kana nodded again, there was certainly no problem with that.

Originally, he intended to start with the Saintess and establish a connection with the Holy Light Church.
