"You saved us? Great Sanctuary Contender…"
Mia stood up and saluted Merlin.
The others also looked at Merlin with their burning gaze. The fear they were feeling before had disappeared.
Merlin was shocked. He had used Mind Power to speak directly in their minds earlier. Now, he could understand what the noble girl was saying. She spoke in the very familiar Molta language.
"This world was created by the mysterious Aruba and should have some connections to the Glorious Land."
Thoughts flashed in Merlin's mind. Then, he nodded and said, "I saved you."
These people seemed to regard Merlin as a so-called 'Sanctuary Contender.' They all looked at him with expressions of reverence, and Merlin did not correct them either. It seemed that the identity of a Sanctuary Contender was quite a pleasant one. At least he would not have any problems blending in.
