Chapter 1318: Regina
“I heard you call me, Commander.” Nathan squinted his eyes. “Are we going to talk about the celebratory feast?”
“The celebratory feast is going according to the schedule. You just need to attend the celebratory feast with us tomorrow night, and I will be grateful. The soldiers would like to thank you for your help.”
“So…” Nathan’s expression turned solemn.
The commander smiled while extending his hand to the side as if pointing to the lady. “This is Her Highness Regina. Have you heard about her?”
Nathan paused for a moment before shaking his head. “My apologies, Your Highness.”
The commander continued with the introduction. “Her Highness Regina is better known by her title, the War Princess. She is the last remaining sibling of His Imperial Majesty.
“As a princess, she has been away from the politics and remains on the front line to protect humanity.
“After hearing about your achievement, she has come here to thank you personally.”
After the introduction, Regina stood up. While fixing her hair, she introduced herself. “I am Regina Theressa Varona.
“I have heard about you, Mr. Nathan. After seeing this fortress besieged by so many elite class aliens, you gallantly helped the people and even killed two elite class aliens.
“Your achievement is extraordinary. I don’t think I can even do such a thing even with my current strength.” Regina smiled.
Nathan felt something was weird. She deliberately pushed her hair behind her ears and gave a seductive smile. It was as if every movement was to capture someone’s attention.
“Your words are wasted on me. I just did what people would do in my shoes,” Nathan humbly replied.
“Despite such strength, you are also humble. It looks like the commander has underestimated you and your characters.” Regina teased the commander while lightening the mood in the room.
Nathan fell silent, not knowing what to say.
“I would like to reward you for your achievement. Do you have something you would like to request, Mr. Nathan?” Regina asked, carefully observing his expression.
“The reward is unnecessary, Your Highness. Your thought alone is enough for me. I am not from the empire, so I don’t deserve a reward from the empire.” Nathan carefully rejected it.
“Anyone who has done something for the empire deserves a reward. Without you, this fortress might be destroyed, and countless people will die because of the alien invasion. Even if you are not from the empire, I definitely need to reward you.”
Nathan noticed something. The last reply from him was a probe. It looked like the commander was right. Regina was too used to the front line, but he lied about something. She didn’t act surprised to know he wasn’t from the empire because she already knew about it.
That was why Nathan realized something was going on. Regina might be sent by the empire. Unfortunately, he couldn’t discern her true intentions. There were some possibilities, so he needed to continuously probe her intentions.
He looked down as if he admitted defeat because of Regina’s insistence. “I guess rejecting any further will be impolite to Your Highness and the empire.”
“That’s good.” Regina smiled. “Do you have anything you want, Mr. Nathan?”
Nathan thought for a moment. He definitely didn’t need anything. In the past three months, Neyeid had been doing his best to spread the Beggar Sect.
In just three months, he managed to spread the network throughout the entire empire, and he planned to expand it to the dynasty soon.
The intelligence network might not have matured, but it should be enough to find things.
At the same time, money was not a problem. With the money they got from the empire, Nathan could buy all the cores in the empire and he would still have money to buy more.
Medicine was never a problem for him because he had Gregory.
Since he didn’t need money, information, and medicine, he wondered what he actually needed. It wasn’t like he could ask for an artifact because there was no such thing on this continent.
‘Summoner. Do you have anything in mind?’
‘Not really. I think I will just ask for money. Maybe a manual?’ Nathan replied.
Anubis actually suggested what he didn’t think before. ‘How about getting information as a reward?’
‘Information? We can rely on Neyeid. Besides, if we get information from her, it will show our intention. I don’t want it to lead back to the Eleren family.’
‘No, I’m not thinking about that kind of information. On Gratzel, the south used to be the place for the Asura Palace, no? The bloodstone was found there, which Selena used to summon Lilith. So, how about getting that kind of information from her?’
‘!!!” Nathan was surprised. Now that he thought about it, he had been too focused on the matter in the human territory.
The people on this continent used to travel to another continent. If that was the case, there should be things located in the southern part of this continent.
He might be able to get that kind of information from her.
Nathan considered it for a few seconds before explaining, “I don’t really have any desire to get anything, including monetary reward. I love to travel. Adventure is my dream.
“That’s why if I have to pick a reward, I would like to travel. I would like to see the wonders of this world, which not many people can discover.”
Regina was surprised by his request. “You want information about ruins within the alien territory?”
“Yes.” Nathan nodded. “I would like to see the marvels of this world. I know how dangerous it is, and I’m prepared for it.”
Regina could see his confidence. It was backed up by real power. He had proved his ability by defeating two elite class aliens consecutively.
Still, he might be qualified, but that didn’t change the fact that it was still too dangerous.
If she gave this information, he might end up dying.
Regina chuckled. “Your request is something I have never heard before, but it’s very interesting. You are a very interesting person, Mr. Nathan.”
She came up with a different scheme after hearing his request.
