Chapter 35: An Angel? Kneel!
Lifa looked at Rennes with eyes filled with curiosity.
Putting aside the reason why the angel had landed here, if the angel was left in the Noah Kingdom, it would cause the kingdom a lot of trouble.
This was because the angel race was one of the most powerful races in the Arnold Continent. They were not existences to be trifled with.
“An angel at the level of an Archmage!” Rennes smiled.
Rennes teleported in front of the two-meter-tall female angel and looked down at her.
“Hey, can you understand what I’m saying? If you can, then blink, and I’ll save you,” said Rennes calmly.
Some of the citizens who had good ears overheard what Rennes said. The crowd instantly started getting restless.
“Lord Rennes, for an angel to fall in Noah City is definitely not a good omen. She might bring disaster to us!”
“Yeah, she even destroyed our city wall and the houses of many residents. How can we save her so easily? We should lock her up in jail!”
“Can all of you be quiet? Are you questioning Lord Rennes’ decision?”
…
The crowd continued to make noise.
Rennes obviously did nto pay them any mind. He was only looking at the angel in front of him with a burning gaze.
He stared at the angel until she finally opened her eyes and blinked, slowly.
“Lifa, clear out all the gawkers. I’m going to start!”
Because he was going to heal an angel who was at the level of an Archmage, it would definitely cause a violent commotion.
“Okay!” Lifa nodded and said something to the two commanders beside her.
A few minutes later, there was no longer anyone within a radius of a few hundred meters around the angel.
Rennes approached the angel and pressed his right hand against her chest.
Rennes chanted a spell in a deep, low voice. His entire body emitted a warm and holy light.
“Baptism of Light!”
As soon as he finished, numerous white light spots emerged from Rennes’ body and rushed into the angel’s body through his right arm.
A few seconds later, the wounds on the angel’s body and on the wings on her back started healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
For an entire minute, something that seemed like the sun slowly rose from the eastern part of the kingdom.
Its glow was so brilliant that it illuminated the entire kingdom, making it appear as if it was daytime.
Everyone could not help but close their eyes from the brilliance.
Finally, the white light disappeared.
A beautiful young woman in white clothes stood before Rennes.
…
After a few minutes, the crowd in the distance came back to their senses.
Some of the braver ones returned to the scene. However, no matter how hard they looked, they could no longer find any traces of the angel.
Lifa was currently in the midst of arranging for people to repair the city wall and some of the damaged civilian houses. These matters needed to be taken care of immediately.
Although she was really busy, she still spared a thought for Rennes and the angel. She guessed Rennes must have a reason for healing the angel.
However, she did not have time to ask Rennes what his reason was.
Meanwhile, Rennes was observing the angel with a curious expression.
Lifa was right. Rennes was not a saint. He would never do things that brought no benefit.
However, the moment he approached the angel, dozens of mysterious light spots had suddenly appeared in his body.
This was the first time the mysterious light spots had grown in number before he had done anything.
But after experiencing an increase in light spots so many times, Rennes had gained some experience.
If he considered the mysterious light spot to be something like experience points, Rennes suspected that saving the angel would affect the entire quest line.
Moreover, it would definitely have significant impact on this world.
Meeting the angel for the first time was the first step in this quest.
That was why Rennes had saved the Angel.
Otherwise, he would not even care if a goddess fell down in front of him, much less an angel.
From the four pure white wings on the angel’s back, he could tell that the angel could be considered a young woman in the angel race.
After all, the oldest Archangel usually had twelve wings.
She was probably only a few years older than Trish.
However, unlike Trish, who was cute, this Angel’s body was more developed. Even though she was wearing a pure white robe, one could still see the magnificent curves under her clothes.
Moreover, the angel was tall and slender. She was at least two meters tall. Even Rennes was only as tall as her chest.
Although her wings were completely hidden now, if she were to walk on the street, her perfect proportions would definitely attract a lot of gazes.
Rennes sighed faintly. He quickly kicked out the strange thoughts from his mind.
“What’s your name?” asked Rennes.
The woman in white did not show any signs of wariness towards a stranger. Instead, she replied very calmly, “I am Shirley, War Archangel under the Queen of Angels. Thank you for saving my life, sir!”
Rennes did not say anything, but he was actually a little surprised.
She was merely a War Angel under the Queen of Angels, but her power was already comparable to an Archmage. Although she was an Archangel, it was still a testament to the honorable status of the Queen of Angels.
Books about the angel race were very rare in the Noah Kingdom.
Rennes did not know much more about them than the average citizen of Noah Kingdom.
But right now, there was a living, breathing angel in front of him. Of course Rennes had a lot of things to ask.
But before Rennes could say anything else, Sherry spoke first, “How should I address you, sir?”
“Rennes!”
Sherry nodded. Her power was at the level of a four-star Archmage. When she took on the form of a four-winged angel, she could even go toe to toe with a five-star Archmage.
However, Shirley could not measure the depth of this man in front of her.
But since he was able to cure her grave injuries, he was definitely stronger than her.
In other words, this human named Rennes was at least a six-star Archmage.
A human nation that had such a powerful Archmage must be a powerful empire.
The relationship between the human race and the angel race was not close, but they did not hate each other either. They pretty much maintained a respectable distance with each other.
Therefore, even though Rennes had saved her life, Shirley would not show Rennes too much enthusiasm because she still had important matters to deal with.
At the thought of this, Shirley said anxiously, “Lord Rennes, I’m willing to compensate your country for the damage I caused. However, something is happening within my race, and I’d like to return to the battlefield as soon as possible. Can you…”
“We’ll talk about the compensation later. I want to know the specific reason you fell down here!” Rennes raised his eyebrows and said.
“This… This is an internal matter of the angel race. I’m afraid I can’t tell you!” Shirley shook her head in refusal.
She had always been arrogant even among her race. If it weren’t for the fact that Rennes had saved her, she would not want to have anything to do with humans.
But as soon as Shirley said that, she was pushed down by a massive force, making her drop to her hands and knees. She could barely keep her body off the ground with her hands.
