Monster Lord: The Goblin Offers the Saintess to Me at the Start

The monsters were excited for a while before they finally calmed down.

Sivis didn't rush to send them away — the "Summon Guardian" skill could keep these units by his side for a maximum of one day. There was no point in wasting the remaining time.

He ordered the Goblin leader and the Crystal Stone Demon to continue hunting Blood Servants in the city once their subordinates regained their strength, to collect more soul points.

Both of them responded with great respect.

Sivis turned to look at the female knight, Vikalina, and found her sitting on the ground, looking exhausted, and apparently had already fallen asleep.

He sighed and smiled helplessly, draping his slightly dirty coat over her to keep her as warm as possible.

Sivis approached Reina, his eyes carrying a slight reproach. "I told you, you were too reckless."

"Why didn't you just wait for the transformation ceremony to finish? You almost lost your life now." He deliberately scared her.

In Sivis's perception, Reina's current condition was still relatively stable.

He wasn't really worried, just wanted to scare her.

Reina's face instantly turned pale.

Reina also felt a bit scared. She knew she had almost made all of her master's efforts go to waste.

Sivis nodded in satisfaction when he saw that.

At the same time, the two Knight Order members, who had finally squeezed their way out of the monster crowd and wanted to report something, were stunned again — they saw Sivis chatting warmly with the maid, obviously discussing something private, and had no way of approaching.

Plus, the surrounding monsters were eyeing them hungrily, so the two could only tremble in fear and wait nervously by the side.

"Good thing I had prepared the last batch of transformation materials for you in advance."

"You woke up too early. If you had waited a few more days, it would have been a real problem. So I had to finish the ritual right away."

Sivis said.

"I'm fine, master. Please forgive me." Reina squinted her eyes, smiling like a sly little fox.

When Sivis saw that, he leaned in closer, and as soon as his arm touched Reina's body, his expression suddenly changed — he had thought she was just weak from interrupting the transformation ceremony, but now he sensed that the girl's body was like a fragile glass doll, already full of cracks, and her life energy was leaking out rapidly.

If they didn't deal with it right away, she might not even make it through the day!

As soon as Sivis's expression changed, Reina suddenly let out a weak groan and collapsed into his arms: "I'm sorry, master, I was wrong..."

Her voice was extremely weak. The girl who had seemed normal just a moment ago now clutched Sivis's hand, her consciousness fading: "Master, now you can't be angry with me anymore... I did it for your promise..."

" You promised you'd protect these people. "

" You weren't here... this is my responsibility... "

Reina muttered dazedly, showing a bit of a girl's soft side — she knew Sivis couldn't really scold her right now. She was barely conscious, and with her master's soft heart, he definitely wouldn't say much more.

As for her own safety...

Reina wanted to live. She wanted to keep accompanying Sivis.

But since her master said he had the resources to save her, this risk wasn't a waste at all!

She believed she would be saved!

With that thought, the girl's consciousness gradually faded.

But Sivis was in a panic — earlier, the little maid was in terrible condition, but she had been holding on just to not worry him.

Now, after Reina lost consciousness, her life force was leaking out even faster.

In the blink of an eye, her life force shifted from strong to weak.

Sivis quickly poured in the power of holy light and called upon the "Transparent Sprite" he had bought earlier to apply healing effects to the maid, barely stabilizing her injuries.

His expression remained extremely grim.

Sivis quickly pulled out a Dragon-related Fossil. A crystal burning with fierce flames appeared, radiating immense power.

This was just a 2nd-rank silver dragon fossil, but as the strongest race in Gandanyir, the fossil still contained terrifying energy — enough to transform Reina from a "Silver-Rank empty shell" into a true guardian, the " Dragon-Blooded Maid," with incredible strength at her rank.

As he prepared to activate the transformation, a hint of regret still crept into his heart — the 2nd-rank silver dragon fossil would permanently hinder Reina's guardian talents.

Not only would it slow down her cultivation speed, but it would also mean her talent was insufficient, and the benefits Sivis would gain from the "Spiritual Fusion" after the transformation would be reduced.

It was fine for Sivis to have a slower cultivation speed, he could find someone else to make up for it.

But the little maid's lost cultivation progress — that couldn't be made up for!

Reina was destined to never become a strong general in his territory.

"Well, it doesn't matter. At least Reina can stay by my side as a mascot. Let her do some housework. It's better than sending her into battle. I'm growing so fast, and I've got new abilities. I'll reach Gold-Rank soon. I can't have her take any more risks."

He was about to activate the transformation when suddenly, a loud voice echoed from the distance: "Wait, Lord Sivis! We have news — news about the Dragon-related Fossils you're looking for! If we're lying, you can kill us right here!"

Huh?

Sivis was stunned!

He turned around and saw it was the same two Knight Order members from before.

They were surrounded by the watching Goblins and Stone Demons, trembling all over — they were only Bronze-Rank, and being stared at by a bunch of Silver-Rank monsters, they were absolutely terrified. But even so, they gritted their teeth, trembling as they recited their report.

The previous Silver-Rank cleric had tried multiple times to break out with the Dragon-related Fossils. Sivis's search for fossils had already been known to the Knight Order (Sivis hadn't tried to hide it).

These two Knight Order members had previously offended Sivis, but they believed he had a good character and probably wouldn't cause them trouble.

Plus, they had just saved themselves.

If they told him about the fossil, it would not only make up for their mistakes, but also let them latch onto this "good guy's" leg!

It was a great move, right?

More importantly, after being abandoned by the Knight Order and the priests, they were now definitely enemies of those people!

The Knight Order members and the priests who had escaped the blood plague would be celebrated by the church.

But if the church found out that they had abandoned their comrades, their reward would be greatly reduced!

In this situation, their best outcome would be to die in battle.

Their very existence was a stain on the families of that group, which would seriously reduce the benefits for the ones who had escaped.

That...

These two knights knew they would definitely be targeted harshly.

Having offended the families behind the Knight Order members and the silver clerics, they needed to find a new patron.

The obvious choices were Vikalina, who had immense potential, and Sivis, who had even more potential and could very likely rise to a high position in the church.

These two knights weren't good people, but they desperately wanted to attach themselves to a "good" faction.

Only then could they feel safe and secure.

Before, when they were with the Knight Order, they looked down on Sivis and Vikalina, thinking the two were too stubborn and would interfere with their plans to oppress civilians and live in luxury.

Now, they had no choice but to latch on to these two legs — at least these two had good characters.

As for the problem of the Reckoning Knight Order, the two knights weren't worried.

The Reckoning Knight Order was extremely rigid in their operations. If Sivis followed Vikalina back to the church, those aggressive warriors wouldn't even be able to find him — how could they punish Sivis?

From the way the previous cleric had acted toward that Dragon-related Fossil, the two knights knew he wouldn't easily hand over such a valuable resource to outsiders.

And Sivis seemed to value his maid a lot, using the Dragon-related Fossil for something — even though they didn't understand the "transformation guardian" system, they could see the clues from Sivis's actions.

In this case, a conflict between the two sides was inevitable, and by choosing to side with Sivis and Vikalina, they would definitely gain protection.

This was their plan.

"Are you telling the truth?" Sivis turned around.

He had no time to deal with these two former Knight Order members in the first place, and had even considered killing them and sacrificing them for soul points. But he hadn't expected them to bring such good news.

"Yes, Mr. Sivis! The fossil is of extremely high quality, even close to the aura of a Gold-Rank one. Even if it's not Gold-Rank, it's at the peak of Silver-Rank. It's definitely better than the one you have now!" the two said, trying to be flatteringly polite.

Sivis understood in his heart and gave a slight nod — their statement matched the information he had learned from his past life in the game, so it was probably not a lie.

This cleric must surely be holding the Crystal Dragon Fossil that Sivis had been desperately searching for all along.

No wonder he couldn't find it!

Because this thing had been hidden in the church all along.

Seeing that Sivis seemed to believe them, the two knights were overjoyed. "Why don't we lead the way? Let you track them down?" They looked like they were just eager to watch the show.

They had their own plans — by following Sivis and Vikalina to go after them, they would be openly taking a side in front of those people, showing that they had a new patron.

In this way, the Knight Order members and priests who had abandoned them wouldn't dare to immediately use their family power to target them.

They would have to deal with Sivis and Vikalina first.

As for the danger of this trip? They didn't care at all — the church had equipped all important personnel with special detection devices. When Saint Werner's mental suppression had wavered, the device had already detected it. If someone died, the device would record the surrounding scene and send it back to the church, even being able to backtrack and collect information from the past five seconds.

Who would dare to kill a church member on the outside? Even if it was a mutual killing, it was impossible — abandoning comrades to break out might be understandable, but killing comrades after the crisis was over was definitely a big sin!

Sivis, however, shook his head slightly. "No need for you. I can go by myself." At this moment, his only thought was Reina's safety, and he had no time to think about the two knights' little schemes.

He just wanted to get that fossil as soon as possible.
