"Sir..." When Regnar said these words, the scene fell into silence for a while. But the most surprising thing is that the person who broke the stiff silence was not Larvin, nor Regnar, nor Halson, who was already looking gloating at the side.
But Wendy.
She slowly took two steps forward with the support of Irene and Enelise: "My subordinate failed to protect Miss Irene and should have been punished. You don't have to..."
"Shut up!" Regnar turned his head and scolded fiercely: "Go back! You don't even know what the occasion is, how can you speak?!"
"I know my mistake..." Wendy was startled by Regnar's sudden anger. She quickly admitted her mistake and took two steps back.
The two girls Irene and Enelise looked at each other at this moment, and then they both winked playfully. It can be seen that they are still very satisfied with Regnar's actions at this time. As for the consequences of doing so, they are not worried. Because they believed Regna could settle all this.
"Can you give me a reason?" A bit of surprise flashed in Ralphin's eyes. He knew to some extent that this Regnar was a little defensive, but this woman was just a pawn of the Military Intelligence Department. Does Regnar deserve to contradict himself because of her? At this point, he still doesn’t know how to weigh the pros and cons
But Regnar just didn't understand, because he had never put himself in such a position as a superior person. Regnar's wish can be summed up simply as a wife and children. Although for some reason he was forced to join the Military Intelligence Agency as the bullshit director, even after so many years. Regner still had no intention of holding on to this position and continuing to climb up.
And since he has no intention of striving for power, he naturally doesn't have that much consideration and care. He felt that he should protect Wendy at this time, so he did so. Even if it made Larvin dissatisfied with him, he didn't intend to stay here for a long time anyway.
"..." Regnar and Ralphin looked at each other for a moment, and for some reason, after he contradicted Ralphin, Regnar was no longer particularly afraid of the fat man's gaze. He looked at it and then said: "Wendy only followed my orders and took action to protect Irene. She was right and should not be punished."
"Sir..." Snow didn't know when he came behind Regnar. He seemed to have come with Ralphin just now. At this time, he came close to Regnar, as if he wanted to persuade Regnar.
But Regnar glared at Snow, so Snow could only retreat angrily.
Ralphin looked at Regnar calmly, and then suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "There is no rush in this matter. Although these people are wrong, they are the guardians of my empire after all. Let's do this, Regnar, Halson. You two take your people back to recover first. As for the punishment, you can decide after they recover."
Larvin's words finally relaxed the subtle tension, but Halson seemed a little dissatisfied with the king's indulgence of Regnar. But this guy isn't stupid either, so it's naturally impossible for him to jump out and yell at this time.
As a result, this matter finally did not become a big deal with Larvin's intervention. The subsequent annual meeting also seemed calm due to the arrival of the king. Under the king's watchful eye, Halson did not dare to cause trouble to Regnar again, while Regnar felt guilty because of Wendy's injury and had no time to settle the score with Halson.
On the contrary, it was Irene. This girl finally spoke as a representative because of the students' vote, just as Annelotte expected.
As a result, this girl stood on the stage trembling and trembling for a long time before saying "Hello everyone". Not to mention Annelotte, who was the dean of the college at that time, even Regna couldn't help but cover his face and couldn't bear to continue talking. See.
However, according to the internal investigation of the Second Magic Academy after the annual meeting. All the male students gave full marks to Irene's performance at the meeting, because they were not meant to listen to Irene's provocative jokes to encourage them to work harder in the next semester. They just wanted to see how cute and cute Irene, one of the two most beautiful girls in the academy, would look like in such a public place. Judging from Erin's performance, the annual meeting that night was definitely worth the price of admission.
And after the annual meeting, Regner was not idle either. Because he wanted to find out where this girl Eileen got such powerful fighting power.
You know, Irene is just a priest after all. This profession is not good at hand-to-hand combat, but it can easily solve eight mid-level warriors in such a crowded space. Even thinking about this kind of fighting power made Regnar feel stressed out. Correspondingly, Regnar was also worried about whether Irene's sudden power was good or bad.
Not only that, in addition to Irene, there is another number one who seems to be inextricably linked to Pero. The combination of these factors made Regnar couldn't help but want to have a conversation with Pero, although he knew that the possibility of such a thing happening was almost slim. But Regnar still didn't give up easily, after all, it was related to Irene.
So, Regnar took Eileen to visit Eileen's teacher, Martin, the senior pastor of the Church of Tomorrow.
At that time, Martin was also very troubled by Regner's request.
"This... our Lord is a transcendent existence after all. Generally speaking, His response to the prayers of devout believers is enough to make us burst into tears of gratitude. But now..." Martin scratched his hair in distress: "What do you want now? Have a direct conversation with our Lord... To be honest, Lord Regnar. I think this can be considered an offense to our Lord."
"Please believe me, Mr. Martin." Regnar quickly clasped his hands and said seriously: "I also have an attitude of respect and fear for the Sun God, but I have to do this because there are too many confusions in my heart. . I don’t know, is there any way for me to get in touch with him?”
"..." Martin frowned, and finally sighed: "I think Irene still needs to take action on this matter."
"Teacher, are you talking about me?" Eileen pointed to herself in surprise.
"Don't forget, you are God's favored one, my child." Martin showed a kind smile: "My Lord will always have special gifts and care for God's favored ones. So, if you sincerely express your gratitude to me Our Lord may yet answer your prayers.”
"If that's the case, then Irene, please give it a try." Regnar no longer hesitated. He really had too many doubts in his heart, so he couldn't wait to have a conversation with Pero.
…
Under the leadership of Martin, Regnar and Irene came to the prayer room together. Looking at Pero's tall and solemn statue, Regnar couldn't help but feel a burst of hostility in his heart.
Yes, hostility. While Pelor gave Erin the power to help others, he even gave her the ability to protect herself. But Regnar couldn't help but look at Pero with a touch of hostility. It's as if this feeling is innate.
"In this case, I won't disturb you. I hope our Lord can protect you." Martin withdrew very wisely, leaving only Regnar and Irene in the prayer room.
Regnar stared at the statue of Pero twice, and then said to Irene: "Let's get started, Irene."
"Okay." Eileen nodded, then knelt in front of the statue of Pelor and began to pray devoutly.
Regnar raised his head and looked at the statue in front of him silently. To be honest, Regnar himself didn't understand why he was so hostile to Pero - even just Irene kneeling in front of his statue was something that made him very unhappy.
But now, in order to find out the whole story. But Regnar had to do this. He showed a contemptuous look at the statue of Pero, and then sat quietly on the chair waiting for Pero's response.
In fact, Regnar himself didn't have much confidence that Pelor would answer his prayers. After all, he was just a mortal, while Pelor was a powerful god who controlled hundreds of thousands or even millions of believers. For him to respond to a mortal's prayers? This feeling is like a mortal asking a noble to lend him 10,000 gold coins as the capital to make a fortune - it is impossible.
Therefore, Regnar sat there quietly, quietly waiting for those impossible things to happen.
And a few minutes later, when the bright golden light on the statue of Peluo lit up, Regnar couldn't help being stunned. Peiro responded, Peiro really responded to Irene's prayer, and promised that he would descend a ray of consciousness and have a conversation with Regnar himself.
Outside the gate, when the unparalleled pressure came. Martin couldn't help but knelt on the ground with a thud, and then knelt down devoutly facing the door that exuded golden light.
"Pelo... Pelor... You have actually arrived... Is Irene really that important to you?" Martin asked secretly in his heart.
Inside the door, Irene also fell into a deep sleep because of Pero. The tall statue in front of the half-elf was glowing with bright golden light. Regnar looked up and found that the statue seemed to be alive. He turned his head slightly to look at Regna, and then said in a solemn and majestic male voice: "We finally meet again, Lord of Shadows."
