Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Chapter 1167 - 859: Don’t Mind Me

Even Reiger seemed like this, giving Cleria a deep look, his heart sinking into contemplation.

The opposition was not what he imagined, not a member of the royal family of the Tistis Kingdom, which surprised Reiger a lot.

Originally, seeing the other’s special identity and having something special about them, yet exuding an inexplicable nobility, as if from an extraordinary background, Reiger thought the other might be a princess hiding her identity.

He agreed to Raphy’s request and was willing to take Cleria with him on the road, mainly because he felt she might be someone from the Tistis Kingdom’s royal family and might know something about the Reinnaier clan and the Carrasfager Mountains.

Who would have thought she was not royal at all?

Although not royal, her identity seemed even more special, as if there was an enormous hidden secret closely related to the country.

"Let me just call you Cleria."

At present, Reiger didn’t beat around the bush and straightforwardly asked.

"Tell me, Cleria, weren’t you willing to go to Uravaxi?"

This question still didn’t immediately elicit an answer from her.

Cleria was once again silent until much later, before finally speaking.

"I don’t know." Cleria spoke as if confiding or talking to herself: "If I don’t go to Uravaxi, where would I go?"

Who exactly was she asking, Reiger didn’t know, and perhaps neither did Cleria herself.

"What?" Leo, frank as always, said: "If you want to go, go. If not, don’t. How can someone not know what they want?"

"You better shut up." Ellie glared at Leo, saying: "Do you think everyone is like you with a simple mind, strong body, and just doing whatever comes to mind?"

"Isn’t that how it is?" Leo retorted, feeling dissatisfied: "That’s just the way it is! Why scold me?"

"Alright, alright." Liz, seemingly adopting a peacemaker’s stance, seeing Ellie and Leo about to argue, quickly advised: "Let’s hear what Cleria has to say, alright?"

"... There’s nothing much to say." Cleria, having come back to her senses, bowed her head again, pulling on her clothes, saying: "If that’s the meaning of my existence, I can only accept it."

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy again due to Cleria’s words.

"A depressive character, huh..."

Seeing that Cleria had no mood to speak further, Reiger chose not to question more.

Although her current state was melancholic and somewhat unsettling, it was her matter; Reiger wasn’t familiar with her and had no right to interfere.

Therefore, Reiger merely said one sentence.

"Let’s not talk about this. When do you plan to take off that jarring fake face?"

Reiger just said that, attempting to change the topic.

However, the topic he brought up surprised everyone present.

"Fake face?"

"Is her face fake?"

"No way?"

Liz, Leo, and Ellie expressed their astonishment in succession.

"Oh?"

Even Lilith turned her gaze unexpectedly, looking at Cleria, seemingly not expecting her face to be fake.

Only Yuloli, lying there fast asleep, was completely unaware, continuing her slumber.

"You..."

Cleria looked at Reiger in shock, seemingly not expecting her disguise to be seen through.

"Don’t look at me like that. Ask yourself, when others see your demeanor, your figure, and then your face, wouldn’t they feel incongruity?" Reiger said plainly: "A perfect figure, perfect demeanor, even a melodious voice, yet only your appearance is so ordinary, it’s like a god’s prank, making it unbelievable that there’s someone in this world as regretful as you."

"And I just feel it’s not a god’s prank, but a human disguise."

"It just so happens, I have the ability to see through that."

The implication being from their first meeting, Reiger was already suspicious of Cleria due to her incongruous appearance.

Conveniently, he possessed the capability to see through disguises.

Thus, Cleria was exposed.

"I understand you have unspeakable secrets, wanting to disguise your appearance to avoid discovery, but I must say, your disguise only draws more attention and suspicion, rather it would be better to restore your true looks."

Reiger’s words brought only a face full of gloom from Cleria.

"... Do you think I want to have that face?"

Cleria’s tone was filled with considerable resentment.

"What?"

Reiger was taken aback, furrowing his brow.

Cleria fell silent again.

"Hey..."

Seeing this, Leo felt more dissatisfied, wanting to say something, but was interrupted.

"Master."

Lilith suddenly raised her head, her eyes instantly turning pitch black, softly calling out to Reiger.

"I know." Reiger looked at Cleria with an extremely calm expression, saying: "It seems your identity truly is special; just after departing from Mit, they’re already coming for you, they are indeed anxious."

His words not only caused Cleria’s complexion to change, but also made everyone in the carriage stand up.

"Enemies?"

Leo stretched out his hand, gripping the hilt of his dual swords at his waist, his gaze fierce.

Ellie silently chanted several incantations, entering a state where magic could be unleashed at any moment.

Liz hurried next to Yuloli, intending to wake her.

"No need to wake Yuloli." Reiger shook his head slightly to Liz, saying calmly: "They’re just a bunch of underlings."

Just as he finished speaking, two sub-variant frost dragons let out roars outside the carriage.

The next second, the sound of something piercing through the air was heard.

The target was the carriage.

...

Time, a few minutes earlier.

In the snowstorm of an icy world, a large group of people marched forward into this place.

They did not conceal their presence, merely standing in the snow, while bathing in the snowstorm, setting up their weapons facing a certain direction.

The person at the front held a map, checked it, and then put it away.

"That’s right, it’s here."

The person muttered to themselves.

"According to the intelligence, those people didn’t intend to hide their tracks, heading straight north."

"If that’s indeed the case, they will pass by here soon enough."

"Therefore, ambushing here is the best strategy."

With self-confirmation of intelligence and what to do next, the person raised a hand.

"Attention, enter combat stance, form up."

With a command from the leader, those around immediately scattered, taking cover in the snow, using the storm as concealment, ambushing in place.

They enclosed the area, so that anyone passing would fall into their encirclement if they didn’t stop.

"Awooooo!"

"Awooooo!"

Before long, intimidating roars rang out, and an opulent gigantic dragon vehicle rushed in at breakneck speed, charging straight into the ambush circle without pause.

"That’s it."

The leader looked at the majestic dragon vehicle, a murderous glint flashing in their eyes.

"Draw bows, release arrows."

He gave the instruction without hesitation.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...!"

At that moment, arrows were let loose, each etched with runes, imbued with some kind of magical power, bypassing the blizzard, shooting straight towards their target, released mercilessly by the ambushers.

As the sounds of cutting through the air echoed, the rain of arrows had taken shape.

Countless arrows arose, covering the sky from all sides, engulfing the unhidden dragon vehicle.
