With a refined cough, he turned and headed for the tent's entrance. Although still flustered, Sapphira followed him as she could hear the commotion outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Asher stepped out, he saw the Temple servants holding down a white-haired man who kept struggling against their grip, but it was futile—these knights, possessed by spirits, were far stronger than any ordinary ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their dark, scaly dragonfly armor was imposing and coupled with their reinforced dragonfly wings; these knights didn't seem human at first glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levi's gaze locked onto Asher's before shifting to Sapphira. His pupils dilated the moment he laid eyes on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sapphira's eyebrows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Destroyer of Men. A pleasure to meet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nero's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such blatant disregard for his lord dug deep into his bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of his heavy footsteps fell into Levi's ears, and before the second son of Count William could react, a fist covered in exquisitely forged metal gauntlet slammed into his face with brutal force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blow was so strong that it forced Levi from the Temple knights' grip, burying his face into the soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Levi lifted his head, dirt and sand dropping from his hair, he caught sight of a soldier approaching—taller, broader, and more formidable than the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cloak fluttered, revealing his muscular arms laced with scars. A golden helmet covered most of his face, only revealing his piercing, cold eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't touch him, Levi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher's command felt like a supernatural force that calmed the rippling in a lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Renowned for his strength amongst the paladins and undeniable loyalty, Levi turned his head, gazed at Asher for a split second and then took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another Levi? And here I thought that I was the only Levi in these parts.\" Levi Tigris spat out dirt and salvia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he turned to Asher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Release me, and I'll have my father spare your life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You?\" Asher said, stepping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levi revealed a broad smile. \"You doubt me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher shook his head. \"Not at all.\" He crouched, meeting Levi's gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On the contrary, I do think you have a use…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levi's smirk deepened—until Asher rose to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\" … And that is to be used as a bargaining token for an alliance with House Mormont.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Levi's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare, you filthy Wastelander!\" Before he could finish, the knights closed his mouth shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher turned to the scribe standing behind the knights and was watching the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare a letter and send an envoy to deliver it to House Mormont.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord…\" Sapphira's voice made Asher pause, his brows raised in curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't send just any envoy to House Mormont.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's right.\" Eritrea, standing by the side with her arms crossed, added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher turned to Simon. \"Can you deliver the message?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfectly.\" Simon bowed, pressing his folded palm against his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also… send my greetings to my sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_____\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours later, Asher stood atop the Great Dividing Wall, his fur-padded cloak and hair fluttering in the wind as he watched the paladin ride away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust trialed the path of the rider and his horse as they approached the looming dark forest ahead, the faint starlight barely illuminating their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, all Asher could think of was Mary's reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night seemed to have stretched endless as he stood there, two paladins flanking his side at a respectful distance, about a dozen steps away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tapk! Tapk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps fell into his ears, causing him to turn his head to the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squinted upon seeing the black-haired woman clad in her priestly white garment approach. Without her armour, with her hair untied, she looked like she had just stepped into this world from a different one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stunning,\" he muttered, the words escaping before he could stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sapphira blinked. \"Indeed, the night sky is the best thing there is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher glanced up at the sky, littered with shining stars, before turning his gaze to the enchanting woman beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those stars are far away, locked in a world of their own while we can only gaze. I'd rather admire the one that is close to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sapphira chuckled. \"And how do you want to do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at him, her eyes curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Asher wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing her close. Their eyes met, and for a moment, neither spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sapphira could only blink, caught in the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a light smile, Asher let go of her, his fingers trembling gently from his own boldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhaling softly, he turned to face the field beyond the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alec told me that you stand here every night, staring at the sky. I wanted to see what could attract my priestess so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sapphira leaned against the bulwark. \"Then we can watch it together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, they both gazed at each other; one clad in a thick fur-padded cloak that went all the way to his heel, while the other only in a flowing gown with wide sleeves at the hem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen meters away from them, paladins stood at attention, their spears pointing skyward and their shields covered by a bluish hue, a result of the dim starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't recall seeing that on you before,\" Sapphira nodded as she looked at the sword poking out of Asher's cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following her eyes, Asher glanced at the crimson hilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a sword I got from the spirit world. I pulled it from the depths of a sea called the Red Sea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sapphira frowned slightly. \"I can feel an unfriendly force from it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher chuckled. \"Ithamar isn't a friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a Swordsman, your swords should be your companion, a partner that has endured life or death encounters. It builds a bridge between you and that weapon, birthing the spirit of swordsmanship—an extension of yourself forged through battle. But, all your swords seem to want to do is kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher smiled. As the wind blew his hair, its cool, refreshing feeling washing over him, he said, \"There will come a day when these very swords will fight on my behalf. A day where they will submit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sapphira fluttered her long eyelashes several times as she studied him. \"Subduing weapons as special as yours will take more than just a powerful rank, it would take an unshakable will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\" His voice was quite certain. \"I only pray that you will be by my side when that day comes. Because I can sense that it won't be far from now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Sapphira could respond, a soldier walked up to them and bowed his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, there is word from Baroness Katarina. She has had a dream.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1123,"2026-06-06T11:24:07.076Z",1,"novelbin.me","249b2b88552f64ab6b8e575b5194a8aa007a648616489ec0845a9747755ccc87","reincarnated-lord-i-can-upgrade-everything-chapter-298","reincarnated-lord-i-can-upgrade-everything-chapter-296",536,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-lord-i-can-upgrade-everything-cover.jpg"]
