Compared to Benest, Baron Olsenâs identity is entirely different.
Originally the sheriff of Dorne City, after the upheaval in Dorne City, the will of the Royal Capital was that once the city was stabilized, Baron Olsen would temporarily act as Dorne Cityâs governor.
Although itâs just a temporary appointment, it also represents the upper echelons of the Kingdomâs acknowledgment of Baron Olsenâs efforts.
Yet at this critical juncture, Baron Olsen was actually willing to forgo going to Dorne City first and instead rescue this so-called young man named Raine, which undoubtedly left Commodore Gregory and Viscount Henry extremely surprised.
After all, what noble wouldnât want to elevate their title further?
Normally speaking, as the head of a city, Dorne Cityâs governor would be promoted to an earl rank.
That is to say, now just a Baron, Connor Olsen, directly skipping a class to earl might not be very likely, but after the incident calms down, being promoted to Viscount is almost certain.
Such an opportunity is, for a Baron with little background, a once-in-a-hundred-years chance!
At this time, seemingly noticing the puzzled gaze of Commodore Gregory and Viscount Henry, Baron Olsen timely added:
"Raine has saved my life before, and if I count carefully, itâs been twice."
Upon hearing this, Commodore Gregoryâs expression slightly changed, immediately contemplating quietly.
However, the young Viscount Henry smiled, becoming increasingly curious about this young man named Raine.
Henryâs identity is actually very special because he is the illegitimate son of the current King of the Soladin Kingdom, Galin Soladin.
Among the various human kingdoms on the Valzeg Continent, because nobles are relatively affectionate, illegitimate children are prevalent, even kings are not immune.
The playful debts of youth, sometimes, are unavoidable.
Although an illegitimate child cannot be directly appointed as a prince, as a father, he must pave the path for his offspringâs advancement.
Therefore, at only twenty years old, Henry is already a Viscount.
This time, he followed Gregory to calm the unrest in Dorne City, hence advancing his title further.
Of course, if he could further build his own faction, then that would be even better, and someone straightforward and who has accumulated his nobility through military merit like Baron Olsen is undoubtedly a person worth winning over.
After thinking for a moment, Henry smiled and said: "Since itâs Baron Olsenâs opinion, Commodore Gregory, letâs go rescue this young man."
Just then, a commotion came from outside the door.
Immediately, a familiar voice was heard: "Huh? Mr. Benest, Baron Olsen, Colonel Tessa, youâre all back."
Seeing the familiar voice and the sudden appearance of Raine at the door, except for Henry and Gregory who didnât know Raine, everyone else showed joy, greeting one another warmly.
Last night, Raine and Meredith rested for a while in the glacier crevice, then decided to take advantage of the night, alternating the use of Invisibility Spell and Flying Spell to rush back overnight.
Although it might be a bit tiring, Raine thought about the Shield, or rather star iron, and felt this bit of hardship was worth it.
"Mr. Raine! Itâs great youâre okay!" Elise excitedly ran over, grabbing Raineâs hand, looking him up and down, and after confirming he was unharmed, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Sulfur Vine also came over but felt a bit embarrassed to get too close to Raine in front of Elise, only softly inquiring from the side.
"Raine, didnât the extraordinary strong person from Nightmare Blade come?" Laisa asked, surprised to see Raine without a scratch.
"He came. We had a brief encounter, and then we came back." Raine looked around, noticed some unfamiliar faces, said a few words without going into details.
Henry eyed Raine, who was about his age, and smiled slightly.
He was sure the young man in front of him was bragging because judging by the intensity of his aura, it showed he indeed possessed good talent â about his age and already at Classes Level 4, an elite.
Even in the Royal Capital, such achievements at this age were quite commendable, much less in a small town like this.
Of course, compared to him, with access to ample resources, Raine was far inferior.
But the problem is, at Classes Level 4, itâs almost impossible to resist an Extraordinary Strong Person.
For example, Henry himself, no matter how confident he was in himself or how many pieces of Magic Equipment he had, he knew very well that facing an extraordinary-level enemy would only mean whether he would lose in half a minute or a minute.
However, his emotional intelligence naturally prevented him from publicly exposing someoneâs shortcomings. Instead, he took more of an outsiderâs and spectatorâs view of this "bragging" incident.
However, when he saw Commodore Gregory shooting a sharp, serious gaze at Raine, he was puzzled.
âWhatâs he looking at?â
âCould my judgment be wrong?â
Immediately, Henry followed Gregoryâs line of sight, seeing Gregoryâs sharp, raptor-like eyes seemingly fixed on the ancient, gilded Tower Shield behind Raine.
Just as Henryâs lips trembled slightly, planning to ask, Gregory suddenly spoke in as calm a tone as possible:
"Young man, the shield you carry, if Iâm not mistaken, should be Olafâs âShield of Winterâ?"
