Lord Reine came back to his senses and gave Viscount Salem a quick glance, noting his pale complexion and dejected demeanor, like a cock that had lost a fight.
For this 'experience NPC' who had tried his utmost and dutifully fulfilled his role, Reine still held a considerable respect.
After all, the man had just given his all in a contest against him, providing a swell of experience that helped boost his Hammer Skill to level 5.
Moreover, the fact that Salem could be grateful for Reine sparing him in the fight showed he was at least someone who knew when to advance or retreat.
Therefore, Reine naturally wouldn't hold back words of encouragement.
"This... I'm sorry, Viscount Salem, you are quite strong, so I got a bit carried away just now and was a little too harsh," Reine said with a hint of apology.
