CHAPTER 779: WHICH COUNTRY DOES TOWN 611 BELONG TO?

In the absence of personally arriving at the destination, in order to open a "Teleportation Gate" to that location, determining the precise coordinates of the destination is a necessity.

As Reiger thought, sending a summoned creature ahead to reach the destination and then locating it through the mental connection between the caster and the summoned creature is one method, as is using intelligence magic such as "Message" to establish a position.

In the original work of the world of Overlord, Ainz once used a magical artifact known as a Distant View Mirror to confirm a teleportation location, thereafter moving there using "Teleportation Gate".

It was a magical artifact that could reflect the scenery of a designated place. After using that artifact to confirm the teleportation location’s position, direction, and surrounding environment, Ainz teleported there using "Teleportation Gate".

If Reiger doesn’t want to spend a significant amount of time traveling, then he needs to locate the position in this manner, using either summoning magic or intelligence magic.

Otherwise, even if he successfully opens a "Teleportation Gate", he might teleport to an imprecise location or, worse, a dangerous area.

This is especially true for the icy northern continent where one misstep could result in teleporting into a glacier or even inside an ice river.

But that wouldn’t be an issue, since neither a glacier nor an ice river could claim Reiger’s life.

The real concern arises if the "Teleportation Gate" opens within an ice river, because before Reiger could even traverse it, the icy waters might surge through the gate first.

If that happens, it’s possible the entire royal capital would become a vast expanse of icy waters.

Therefore, accurate location determination is vital.

"Tistis Kingdom is too far, we can’t spy on it with intelligence magic, not to mention determine its location."

"It’s better to send a summoned creature there. Although it will take some time, it’s certainly more convenient than me traveling the great distance myself."

"If we take to the skies and send the fastest flying summoned creature, we should be able to reach the destination in less than half a month."

Reiger then solidified his plan, preparing to carry it out upon his return.

"It seems you’ve already made up your mind."

Yuri, who had been observing Reiger deep in thought, saw his resolute expression and spoke immediately.

"Yes." Reiger didn’t hide anything from Yuri and said, "I will use a special kind of magic to confirm the coordinates of Tistis Kingdom first, and then go there through a ’Teleportation Gate’."

Upon hearing this, Yuri couldn’t help but let her mouth twitch slightly.

Special magic again?

Just how many special magics do you have?

Could it be another terrifying magic that, once exposed, could spark an uproar among the national power players?

Could you please be a bit kinder and not give my poor heart such a fright?

"...Forget it, I can’t stop you anyway."

Yuri could only let out a helpless sigh, resigning to this fact.

"I hope you won’t cause any more shocking events this time."

At these words, Reiger himself didn’t know how to respond.

This kind of thing... isn’t something he can guarantee, right?

Who knows what awaits him upon arrival in the Tistis Kingdom?

"All I can say is, you better be mentally prepared." Reiger gave a forewarning and said, "Even if I don’t cause trouble, my goal is ultimately to make contact with the royal family there to accomplish my mission."

And making contact with a royal family, especially from a nation in the midst of turmoil, can a foreign Sword Saint like himself really avoid causing a stir?

There’s bound to be some repercussions, right?

Thus, Reiger could only advise Yuri to prepare herself mentally.

"..."

Yuri didn’t want to speak anymore.

You want her to be prepared for a heart that might not be able to handle it?

"I should have left you injured back then, letting you remain a patient would’ve been better."

Yuri glared at Reiger.

Looking back, this man had been causing various disturbances ever since his recovery, never really settling down.

If she had known earlier what he was capable of, she would’ve simply not healed him, allowing him to continue lying in bed, acting as her compliant conversation partner every day.

In hindsight, this man was indeed at his most docile during the month he spent recuperating.

While thinking this, Yuri completely forgot that during that time, although Reiger was indeed being well-behaved, someone still sent troops to assassinate him, which resulted in a highly tense state of alert at the Franzel residence, causing even Yuri to frequently abandon her work to check on Reiger more often.

If she remembered this, Yuri would realize that even lying docilely in bed, Reiger was still a magnet for trouble, always finding something for others to deal with.

Now, Yuri had something she needed to do as well.

"I will, as a precaution, collect some intelligence about the Tistis Kingdom, but don’t expect too much detail, given the distance to the Queen’s country," she said.

Saying so, Yuri glanced at Ellie who had somehow come to sit next to Reiger, now suddenly dozing off, her head nodding and leaning against Reiger’s shoulder, her eyes reflecting an unusual expression.

"As for this Queen’s matter, I will immediately begin making arrangements."

Hearing Yuri’s words, Reiger nodded and looked at her.

"I appreciate it."

Reiger’s voice unconsciously softened.

"...As if you haven’t troubled me enough already?"
