Chapter 1287: Chapter 434: Shadow Dragon Thief_3
Clearly, the operation failed!
Not only did they fail to get the box, but Quinna was also caught red-handed by Rein!
At this moment, Rein turned and looked at Buchanan not far away, saying, "Lord Buchanan, it turns out after your communication failed, you sent someone to steal."
"Uh... Lord Rein, you’re joking. I don’t know this person." Buchanan’s eyes flickered, looking quite uneasy.
"Oh? Is that so? Initially, I thought this person was one of yours, Lord Buchanan, and planned to show some mercy, but it seems unnecessary now. Later, I’ll send her to the Sword Holder Headquarters; I believe she might bring me some surprises."
Rein smiled slightly and said.
"Cough... That is Lord Rein’s freedom, Lord Rein. I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave." Buchanan’s face turned dark as he immediately turned and left.
"Lord Rein, do you need me to arrange another carriage?" Matteo asked respectfully.
"No need, go to the Star Mage’s Platform and ask Major General Tatia to send someone over, and arrange a carriage as well." Rein was holding someone at the moment, so naturally, it was more suitable to take a carriage.
"Alright, Lord Rein."
The commotion here naturally caught the attention of the patrol team, and soon, a group of guards surrounded them.
However, seeing Rein’s imposing manner and the person he was holding, the Guard Captain stepped forward and slightly bowed, saying:
"Sir, what is this...?"
"I am an Imperial Swordsman; this person attacked me. Someone from the Sword Holder Headquarters will come to connect with you soon." Rein showed his Sword Holder’s Emblem and said.
"Alright, Sir." The Guard Captain immediately stood to attention and saluted.
At this moment, Areda said to Rein: "Lord Rein, do you want to interrogate the other party? In that case, my sister and I can take on the task; we are fairly skilled at interrogation."
"Uh-huh, Lord Rein; my sister is quite knowledgeable about mind-confusing witchcraft. As for me, I’m fairly proficient in some interrogation techniques." The younger sister, Ailida, immediately chimed in.
As followers, the two hadn’t contributed much earlier, and at the moment, their mood was somewhat apprehensive.
"Not for now; let’s wait a few days." Rein smiled and nodded, saying.
Soon, the carriage from the Sword Holder Headquarters arrived.
Arriving with the carriage were Major General Tatia and several Magic Iron Level Swordsmen.
"Lord Rein, you were attacked?" Major General Tatia looked up and down at Rein, who had no injuries, and then looked at the ’assassin’ on the ground wrapped in Hardened Essence Gold like a cocoon, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Which family is so unwise to send someone to assassinate a ’Quasi-Guardian’?
"More like a thief, Lord Tatia. Please imprison them at the Sword Holder Headquarters; I’ll deal with it in a couple of days." Rein picked up Quinna, whom he had long controlled, and handed her over to the swordsmen behind Tatia.
Rein had already gleaned the answers he wanted from Buchanan’s gaze.
This ’female thief’ must be associated with Buchanan, and judging from the trace of Dragon Bloodline aura from her, it’s likely she’s from the Dragon Scale Brotherhood.
Additionally, Rein considered that imprisoning this ’female thief’ in his own residence could very likely attract rescue efforts from her side, which in turn might endanger his family’s safety. Hence, he proposed to Tatia to imprison her at the Sword Holder Headquarters.
"No problem, Lord Rein."
.....
Very soon, Rein took the carriage arranged by the Sword Holder Headquarters back to his residence.
Rein learned that the barbarian girl Lagaray accompanied the beautiful woman Jennifer and went to Mingster together.
After introducing the Areda sisters to everyone in the residence, Rein had dinner with his family and promptly returned to his study to contemplate the next steps.
First is the choice of a new profession.
Ever since he successfully transitioned to the Legendary profession ’Dragon Vein Wizard,’ he gained an additional profession panel slot, increasing from (6/6) to (6/7).
Just like when he transitioned to ’King of Thousand Blades,’ Rein intended this time to choose a profession with numerous future advancement opportunities for learning.
The purpose, of course, is to acquire enough skill points and attribute points.
Just like previously from Ironsmith Apprentice, Ironsmith, Armor Forger, progressing to Great Armor Forger in the path of the ironsmith profession advancement system, or from tailor apprentice, tailor, tailor master, to Witch Pattern Tailor in the tailor profession advancement system.
Although the initial professions of these two systems were unimpressive, the core skills of subsequent professions were not spectacular, but they contributed plenty of skill points and attribute points, greatly facilitating Rein’s later learning of witchcraft and Extraordinary Battle Techniques.
Just as Rein was pondering seriously, suddenly the voice of an attendant came from outside the door.
"Lord Rein, a Lord Hamadi is here to visit."
Hamadi?
Rein immediately recalled who the visitor was.
"Invite him to the study."
"Alright, Lord Rein."
Soon, a smiling Hamadi arrived at Rein’s study.
After a round of pleasantries, Hamadi took out a deep brown wooden box and said:
"Lord Rein, this is a gift entrusted to me by Member Trena for you."
This was actually a spiel Hamadi had long prepared.
In Hamadi’s view, since Rein had a favorable impression of Trena, an eminent and beautiful Federation Female Member, it was natural to fully utilize it.
Even if it wasn’t truly possible for such an esteemed Federation Female Member to act on it, there was naturally no harm in anything done in her name for convenience since, after all, everything is for the Federation.
"Oh? What is this?" Rein raised an eyebrow and said.
Only to see Hamadi mysteriously smiling and opening the wooden box on the coffee table, revealing three old sheepskin scrolls inside, each radiating increasingly dense Witchcraft Light.
"Lord Rein, have you heard of Witchcraft Killing Move?"
"Of course, I’ve heard of it. Are you saying these three pieces of witchcraft can be combined into a Witchcraft Killing Move?" Rein nodded, turning his mind slightly, and said.
"That’s right. These three pieces of witchcraft, once proficiently mastered, can be combined into a Witchcraft Killing Move. Lord Rein might as well take a look first." Hamadi smiled and said.
"This... is really too precious, even if it’s Trena’s private gift, I cannot accept it." Rein shook his head and said.
Rein was well aware that there’s no free lunch, and the other party’s motive was either to win him over or to ask for something from him.
"Lord Rein, Member Trena particularly values the friendship between you. She spent a considerable amount of energy finding this Metal Series Witchcraft Killing Move, which is also a private gift."
"Member Trena is thoughtful. Is this Metal Series?" Rein raised an eyebrow, feeling a stir in his heart.
This was indeed a bit unexpected for Rein.
After all, Metal Series witchcraft is notoriously scarce, with few passed down, and those that can be combined into a Witchcraft Killing Move are even rarer.
And what most tempted Rein was another reason: he had successfully transitioned to Dragon Vein Wizard, and if he could master witchcraft with greater power, especially Metal Series witchcraft, it would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial for enhancing his own strength.
This....
After some thought, Rein decided to take a look first.
He picked up a Sorcery Scroll and began to read.
