In a ritual altar, an ancient summoning ceremony known as the "Ancient Call" was being conducted to summon a red goat.
This long-lost ritual had a woman as its sacrificial offering.
Efficiently dealing with the clueless cultists, Alan grabbed the red goat that had just appeared, looking ready for a fight, and nonchalantly tossed it aside.
He then gently picked up the collapsed girl and scrutinized her closely.
The red goat lay trembling on the ground, feeling wronged as it hadn't done anything but had still received a beating.
The goat harbored a deep resentment toward the cultists who summoned it, lamenting the unnecessary trouble they caused.
The girl, fortunately, was not seriously harmed, so Alan instructed the red goat to take her to Alice.

"What was all that noise just now?" Clare asked, huddled up.
Alan had disguised her as a noble while the real noble was knocked out and stuffed in a cupboard, ensuring Clare wouldn't be discovered.
