After receiving information from Nigredo, Iri was quite anxious. She simply instructed Nigredo to monitor Black Scripture's activities closely and then left in a hurry.
Albedo found Iri's abnormal behavior very strange, but Iri had no time to deal with Albedo and simply dismissed her with a casual excuse.
Then, without even changing her clothes, Iri immediately ran to Shalltear, demanding that she open a portal to the Royal Capital at once.
Shalltear was also startled by Iri's anxious demeanor. Without asking anything, she immediately opened a portal near the outskirts of the Capital.
Although Iri could directly use a high-level teleportation scroll to teleport to places she had visited before, within Nazarick, there was an anti-long-distance teleportation barrier. Shalltear was currently responsible for maintaining this barrier, so to teleport out, Shalltear had to turn off the barrier. Since she had to find Shalltear anyway, she just had Shalltear open the portal.
After Iri passed through the portal and watched it close behind her, Iri immediately pulled out a high-level teleportation scroll. Now was not the time to be stingy with scrolls; Tia's situation was extremely urgent!
Inside the inn where Blue Rose was staying, the owner was yawning. The next second, he saw a beautiful young woman in a magnificent dress suddenly appear out of thin air in his inn.
Although this wasn't the first time he had seen teleportation magic, those who teleported over were usually members of the Blue Rose. This time, it was a beautiful young woman who looked somewhat familiar, which was a bit strange.
"Lakyus! Irubyue!! Gaguran!!" The strange young woman even directly shouted the names of the Blue Rose members.
This was even stranger. Logically, under normal circumstances, the owner would definitely stop this young woman from shouting in his inn. However, looking at her attire, she seemed like a noble from somewhere, so it was better not to offend her!
It turned out the owner's decision was correct. Iri was currently very anxious. If the owner had tried to stop Iri, the result would have been an ice sculpture in the inn's lobby.
"Oh? What's wrong, Iri-meimei?" Gaguran ran down from upstairs. No matter who it was, finding someone was good enough.
"Gaguran-jie! Where are the others! Emergency! Tia's situation is very dangerous right now!" Iri said.
"You… what did you say?" Irubyue, behind Gaguran, also peeked out. It hadn't been long since she separated from Iri, so Irubyue still found it strange that Iri suddenly came here.
"It's like this! I reported the information Irubyue just mentioned to Nazarick and strengthened surveillance on the team dispatched by Theocracy. Then, I accidentally discovered that Tia, who was monitoring them, was injured!" Iri said with an anxious expression.
Actually, it wasn't accidental… Iri deliberately had Nigredo search for Tia's whereabouts.
Earlier, when Irubyue mentioned the mysterious team from Theocracy and that Tia had lost contact, Iri felt that Tia was in danger.
After all, those people were Black Scripture, right? Do you remember the last time they encountered them in the forest?
Tina, who went to scout, was directly injured, so after hearing Irubyue's final words, when Iri was still a companion of Blue Rose, Iri naturally couldn't abandon Tia, who was also a companion.
Anyway, Iri had originally wanted to ask Nigredo to monitor Black Scripture, so finding Tia was just a bonus.
Hmm… just a bonus, oh, it's not because I was concerned about her safety that I went to find her!
Hmph! Uh… this doesn't seem to fit my persona.
So, Iri told Irubyue everything, from Nigredo tracking Tia's location to the farmhouse in a small town on Theocracy's border where she seemed to be.
However, Iri had never been to that town, so she couldn't teleport directly. She could only rely on Irubyue. If Irubyue couldn't help either, she would have to call Little Black and Little White to run there.
Fortunately, Irubyue stated that there was a teleportation board she had set up near that town, which relieved Iri considerably. So, Irubyue took the fully armed Gaguran and Iri, who was still in her dress, and teleported them over.
Soon, in the farmhouse in that town that Iri mentioned, they found Tia, who was severely wounded and unconscious. Fortunately, the family who took Tia in were good people. They said they found the injured Tia outside their door and had taken care of her.
Afterward, Gaguran gave a lot of money to thank the family. Looking at Tia's tattered body, and with Lakyus not present, healing potions alone couldn't heal Tia's injuries. Irubyue motioned for Gaguran to carry Tia, and after teleporting back, they would ask Lakyus to heal Tia.
Iri silently patted Irubyue's shoulder for making that decision, then pointed to herself, indicating, "Did you forget something?"
Although I'm not some Saintess of E-Rantel, don't pretend I don't exist, okay? I can at least use six-tier healing magic, right? Of course… that's all I can do.
So, under the effect of Iri's only Holy Healing spell, Tia recovered instantly. As expected of a healing spell that empties MP in one go, even people with fatal injuries can recover so quickly. What Lupusregina said before, that as long as a person isn't dead, they can be healed, really wasn't a joke.
"Thank you…" After Tia opened her eyes and looked around at the people surrounding her, her first words were this. After all, with Lakyus not present, the only one who could use powerful healing magic was Iri.
Seeing Tia wake up safely, Gaguran and Irubyue breathed a sigh of relief.
"As expected of the Saintess of E-Rantel, such severe injuries healed instantly. Iri-meimei, we really have to thank you properly this time." Gaguran patted Iri's shoulder happily.
"Indeed, this time it was all thanks to Iri. Thank you again." Irubyue also thanked Iri.
Irubyue also saw it: Iri was still wearing her dress, without even changing clothes, and had rushed over in a hurry.
She must have gone home, changed clothes, and then after hearing the report from Nazarick's intelligence department, rushed over. As expected of Feifei-daren's younger sister!
"It's nothing, we're all companions. It's good that Tia is fine. So… Tia? Was it those people we met in the forest who injured you?" Iri asked.
Of course, the reason for saving Tia was not just Iri's kindness; there was another purpose.
During her conversation with Nigredo, Nigredo revealed that her long-distance surveillance magic could only track and monitor the target she was looking for, but it couldn't eavesdrop. So, just observing them would only allow them to grasp Black Scripture's movements, without knowing why Black Scripture had come to join the fun this time.
But Tia, who was doing close-range reconnaissance, was different. It was very likely that she heard something she shouldn't have, which is why Black Scripture dealt such a heavy blow to her!
Black Scripture was still operating within Theocracy's borders this time and had not crossed over. With a war about to break out here, Theocracy suddenly sent their strongest team over and dealt a fatal blow to Tia, who was scouting their movements. Wasn't that just telling everyone that they were plotting something at the border!
