Chapter 1180: Chapter 400: Crystalization_4

"Lord Rein... Lord Rein, I’ll contact Major General Tatia immediately, please wait a moment." With that, Olena, wearing heels five or six centimeters high, quickly walked away.

"By the way, Lord Rein, there is something important. Miss Anna had an urgent situation yesterday and said she needed to return to Ferdinand Forest first. This is the letter Miss Anna left for you."

Suddenly remembering something, Olena turned around while speaking and handed a letter to Rein.

"Hmm?"

"So urgent?"

"After all, I only left for two days, is Anna already so impatient?" Rein couldn’t help feeling a sense of trepidation.

Immediately, he opened the envelope to read the letter.

...

Meanwhile, Olena again walked away quickly to report to Major General Tatia.

At this time, Claire seemed to have noticed something.

She looked up and gazed at the departing Olena, her eyes lingering for a moment on the curve of Olena’s slightly upturned rounded skirt, thinking to herself how this married liaison lady of their captain had quite some charm.

"By the way, Beyonce, did you know? This lady used to be Captain Rein’s full-time liaison in Mingster." Claire slightly puckered her lips towards the departing Olena and whispered to her companion Beyonce beside her.

Beyonce glanced at Olena’s graceful figure as she departed, then looked back at Claire, instantly understanding what her friend meant and shook her head, saying:

"It’s unlikely, with the captain’s abilities and status, he could find someone much better."

"That’s not necessarily true; many nobles have particular tastes." Claire immediately placed her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and retorted.

"Beyonce, think from another angle. Just imagine how difficult it must have been to transfer a female admin from the Sword Bearers Branch in the provincial department to the Imperial City Headquarters! Surely you know this, right?"

"Well...." Claire’s words made Beyonce fall silent.

Indeed, it was no ordinary difficulty.

Even the leader of the Sword Bearers Branch coordinating such a transfer would find it hard.

Moreover, if their captain just needed a liaison, there were at least dozens of young female secretaries at headquarters lined up for him to choose from.

Why go through the trouble of transferring someone from a branch?

Could it be that their captain really didn’t prefer young women but instead liked married ladies?

But it would explain that their captain seems quite devoted if he put in significant effort to transfer someone from a branch!

At this time, Rein had no time to pay attention to the gossip of his two team members. He was focused on the content of the letter:

"Dear Rein: Aunt Delana got severely injured by a follower of the ancient Mother Tree Sect during her mission. I must return immediately. After my aunt recovers, I will return to the Imperial City."

Rein felt relieved seeing this.

"So, it was Ms. Delana who got injured, no wonder."

"However... Mother Tree Sect?"

Rein immediately recalled the time he and Rudolf from the Goddess Church had jointly defeated the Blood Flesh Tree Spirit. It seemed that place was an ancient Temple of the Mother Tree Sect.

"It seems the situation is worsening; even Ferdinand Forest, where the elves are, has been attacked by the cult."

"However, perhaps later I could ask Olena to check on the intelligence regarding the Mother Tree Sect. Maybe after the Dragon Knight Reserve selection, I could consider going to Ferdinand Forest." Rein contemplated.

...

Only about seven or eight minutes passed before Olena returned, accompanied by a female major general— it was Tatia.

"Lord Rein, welcome back. General Augustus is already in the conference room waiting for you." Tatia smiled slightly and said.

With those words, she nodded to Claire and the other woman as well.

"Great! Let’s go then." Rein nodded.

Indeed, the Sword Holder Headquarters valued intelligence regarding the Divine highly.

Soon, the group of three was led into a small meeting room with strict confidentiality and security measures.

Rein noticed that the hallway of the meeting room had patterns of the Witch Array on the floor and around the corners, similar to the secret room he had seen in Marn Province before.

However, the array at headquarters appeared more intricate.

"Lord Rein, this room is imbued with multiple Witch Arrays preventing eavesdropping and spying, effectively blocking surveillance. You may refer to some Divine true names to an appropriate extent."

Tatia introduced at the right time.

Rein nodded to indicate his understanding.

By this time, the General Augustus, whom Rein had met twice before, was already seated on one side of the meeting room, smiling at him.
