Chapter 992: Chapter 349: Power Surge (Double-Length Chapter) (Part 2)
Because Rein saw a group of people walking over, surrounded by a dozen tall and strong barbarian warriors.
“Lagaray, aren’t you going to introduce your friend?” The Dalius Clan Leader laughed heartily, and said.
He and Rom the High Priest walked over together, both smiling.
“Rein, this is Rom the High Priest of our Norton Tribe and the Dalius Clan Leader.”
“High Priest, Clan Leader, this is Rein,” Lagaray quickly introduced.
However, when she introduced Rein, she noticeably paused.
Because Lagaray initially wanted to introduce Rein’s identity as the Deputy Chief of Security of Flashgold Town.
But she immediately realized that the current strength of Rein in front of her far exceeded what she previously imagined; how could he still be a town’s Deputy Chief of Security?
Therefore, she only introduced Rein’s name without specifying his occupation.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries.
The Dalius and Rom both solemnly bowed deeply to Rein and said:
“Lord Rein, the Norton Tribe thanks you for your help!”
Following this, more than a dozen barbarian captains and elites all bowed to Rein in respect.
“Rom the High Priest, Dalius Clan Leader, brave warriors of the barbarians, you’re all too polite.” Rein, who had a great fondness for straightforward and honest individuals, quickly helped the two up.
“Lagaray is a good friend of mine, what I did was just a small gesture.”
Good friend?
That might not be as simple as it seems.
Many barbarians exchanged glances after hearing this, but they couldn’t hide their amused expressions.
After all, when it comes to relationships between men and women, there are only two kinds that compel people to risk their lives in battle.
Either they are direct relatives.
Or they are lovers, and not just ordinary lovers.
Therefore, Rom the High Priest and Clan Leader Dalius looked at Rein with a kindly expression as a father would upon seeing a prospective son-in-law.
This made Rein feel quite uneasy.
After coming to the central tent of the yak convoy, since Dalius Clan Leader’s injuries were severe and needed treatment, and Rom the High Priest had to console the injured warriors and the families of those who perished.
Thus, Lagaray took on the ‘heavy task’ of entertaining and accompanying Rein and distinguished guests.
After a short while, Anna glanced at Lagaray, then at Rein, and tactfully dragged away Merita, who was reluctant to miss out on the gossip.
At this moment, inside the tent, only Lagaray and Rein remained.
Lagaray’s beautiful eyes watched Rein without blinking, as thoughts rose in her mind like mushrooms after a rain.
Compared to the Rein she remembered, the current Rein appeared more robust and taller, his height and physique placing him in the upper range even among the barbarian tribe.
Just slightly below the likes of the 2.5-meter tall Dalius Clan Leader and certain others.
Moreover, Rein’s strength had reached a level beyond her imagination.
“Uh… Lagaray, what are you staring at?” Rein, feeling a bit odd from Lagaray’s unblinking gaze, walked over and waved a hand in front of her pretty face.
“Rein, thank you. You know, when facing that Ancestor Dragon, I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime.”
“Is there really a need for thanks between us? By the way, why didn’t you write to me earlier?”
“When I returned to the Frostwind Prairie, I first planned to pass the trial and then head to Meister to find you after my promotion.”
“But unexpectedly, after lucking through the trial and successfully advancing, the tribe had already begun intermittent skirmishes with the Black Flame Cult, with constant minor clashes, naturally, I couldn’t leave the tribe.”
“After all, the Norton Tribe is the place that nurtured me.”
“Then why not write a letter?”
“Uh…. at the time, I just thought I couldn’t let you worry, nor could I drag you into this. So…” Lagaray lowered her head, saying.
“So you arbitrarily decided, preferring to die in battle rather than tell me?!” Rein pretended to be a bit angry, saying.
“Uh…..”
The next second, he felt something warm pressed against his lips, as Lagaray suddenly leaned in to kiss him.
“Rein, will you forgive me?” Lagaray, her face flushing red, asked while gazing deeply at Rein.
“I will, but the compensation isn’t enough yet.”
….
As evening approached, in the Norton Tribe camp, at the bonfire banquet site.
“Lord Rein, what are your plans next?” Dalius Clan Leader asked with a smile.
“I plan to make a trip to Winterfort Academy, and then, together with the wizards of Winterfort Academy, find an opportunity to quickly slay that Ancestor Dragon Kolaxius.” As Rein spoke, he glanced at Merita.
Merita smiled and nodded, saying: “Indeed, I had previously invited Lord Rein, hoping he could assist Winterfort Academy in defeating that Ancestor Dragon.”
“Hmm, that Ancestor Dragon’s regenerating ability is extraordinary, waiting too long would indeed be a major issue.” Rom the High Priest nodded, saying.
“The Norton Tribe is extremely grateful for your rescue, Lord Rein. If you are going to slay the Ancestor Dragon, the Norton Tribe will certainly provide strong support. Lagaray, you select twenty elite tribal warriors to accompany Lord Rein in slaying the Ancestor Dragon.” The Dalius Clan Leader declared with a wave of his hand.
“But….” Rein glanced at Lagaray, showing hesitation on his face.
