Chapter 1330: Chapter 449: Ganishill, the Mother Tree

“Hmm, Olena, please let Marshal Alfred know about this news as soon as possible.”

“By the way, later, Anna might come to rest temporarily at Post No. 7 with the pure-blood elves and centaurs. You should prepare in advance.” Rein thought for a bit and said.

It seemed that hearing Anna’s name caused Olena on the other side of the sheet to pause slightly, but she immediately said:

“Understood, Lord Rein. Is it Miss Anna and her clansmen? I will make the arrangements!”

“What about you?”

“I will escort them for a while at first, and then I plan to go to the nearby Valzrigg ruins. Also, Olena, please keep an eye on any cult activity near the Valzrigg ruins for me.”

“As you command, Lord Rein.”

After ending the communication, Rein walked toward where everyone was gathered.

Supporting the elf clan in this matter would naturally be most appropriate if handled by the empire officially. Besides, he also knew that the upper management had already arranged for two imperial protectors in the nearby provinces.

His visit to Ferdinand Forest this time was actually a personal affair. Initially, his purpose was to ensure Anna’s safety.

Later, through the coordination of the Sword Bearer Headquarters, it turned into a preliminary reconnaissance mission.

However, judging by the current news, this reconnaissance mission can be considered successfully completed.

Moreover, with his spiritual power crystallization at 94%, he could break through to the fourth level Dawn Wizard realm at any time, but he hadn’t yet found the Steel Heart Meditation Method for the Fourth Layer.

Coincidentally, he also acquired two ‘Ancient Tree Hearts’, so he planned to go to the Valzrigg ruins.

As for Anna, Lambert, and the others, they could first take this long-range airship to Post No. 7 for a temporary rest.

Rein said to the elder elf Alderan:

“Mayor Alderan, it seems to me that your clansmen should find a place to reorganize first. After the situation becomes clearer, you can make further plans.”

“I have a place to recommend, which is the Empire’s Post No. 7 near Ferdinand Forest. However, since this involves leaving your homeland, perhaps it would be more appropriate if you communicate this personally?”

“Alright, I think so too. But, with so many people, Lord Rein, can the post you mentioned accommodate everyone?” Alderan was initially pleased, but then he frowned and said.

“There shouldn’t be any problem.”

Rein looked around; he had just seen that most of the surviving pure-blood elves from Basaran Town were the elderly, women, and children. There were very few adult male elves; they likely perished in previous defense battles.

This is also why Elder Alderan did not propose any counterattack or request assistance for Ferdinand City.

It’s not that they didn’t want to, but he and the surviving clansmen no longer had any combat power. Supporting or counterattacking was out of the question; even self-preservation would be a significant issue once Rein and Lambert left.

“That’s great! Lord Rein, leave this matter to me. I will communicate with the clansmen immediately. Only by surviving can we rebuild our homeland.”

“That’s right.” Rein nodded, smiled, and said.

“Anna, why don’t you and Ms. Delana go ahead to rest at Post No. 7 as well? It will be much safer there. Ms. Olena, whom you know, is also there; she will arrange everything.”

“Rein, what about you?” Anna gazed at Rein with her bright eyes, asking with concern.

She had vaguely overheard Rein mentioning something about ruins just now.

“Uh… I joined a wizard school in the Imperial City. The school is exploring the nearby Valzrigg ruins now, and I need the Ancient Tree Heart because it can break the ancient witch array to enter the core area of the ruins.”

After thinking about it, Rein chose not to hide the exploration of the ruins from Anna.

“Rein, then… can I accompany you? Oh, I’ve already mastered the druid’s Giant Bear Transformation, so I can participate in battle…”

Seemingly worried that Rein wouldn’t believe her, Anna immediately started chanting and casting spells beside him.

However, Rein gently patted Anna’s shoulder to stop her and shook his head, saying:

“Anna, it’s really not feasible. I know you have improved a lot, but there might be ancient witch arrays and other dangers at the ruins. I am confident in protecting myself, but if you come along….”

“Anna, with Rein’s strength, he would be safer going alone.” Ms. Delana also chimed in at this moment.

“Well… alright then, Rein, you must be careful.” Anna’s large eyes couldn’t hide her disappointment.

“Rest assured.” Seeing Anna a bit low-spirited, Rein hugged her and, in front of Delana and everyone, gently kissed her forehead again.

“Oh my!” This caused Anna to exclaim and shyly bury her head in Rein’s chest, not daring to raise it.

As for her previous disappointment, it had already vanished.

After comforting Anna for a while, Rein walked toward Lambert.

“Lord Lambert, your injuries haven’t completely healed. Why not take this airship to the nearby Imperial Post No. 7 to rest for a while? With you there, I feel more at ease.”

“Thank you, Lord Rein, and what about you?” Lambert smiled and asked.

“I will first ride the Blood Feathered Horned Eagle to escort you for a while, but later, I need to leave for a while because there are some matters the school needs to handle nearby.”

“Alright, Lord Rein, go ahead without worries. With me here, you can trust that Miss Anna and the others’ safety is assured.” Lambert patted his chest and said with a smile.
