Chapter 587: Chapter 247 Assigning Tasks (Two-in-One Large Chapter)_4

Their family’s concerns about being left unprotected in Meist County City had been taken into consideration by the other party.

The Sword Bearers Branch intervened to facilitate communication and coordination.

Although this assigned mission had its dangers, the rewards were extremely high.

If it weren’t for the other experienced Sword Bearers being preoccupied with battles, such generous mission rewards might have been snatched up as soon as they became available.

“Your Excellency, my current secondment task….”

“Don’t worry, I will communicate with the Sword Bearers Branch and the Mingster Administrative Office about this matter. Your secondment can end early. I’ve heard about your performance in handling the emergency situation in the trading district.”

Rein raised an eyebrow.

Hmm?

This is great news!

“Your Excellency, I believe I can depart at any moment, but as for the relevant details….”

Upon hearing Rein’s agreement, Javier breathed a sigh of relief, his expression finally easing.

“Baron Rein, the person you’re going to rescue is my daughter Alyosha.”

“She has been fond of the study of potions from a young age and is now a formal researcher at the Royal Alchemist Association. She traveled near the waters of Mingster on a private matter, seeking a rare alchemical ingredient—oil from the Giant Stone Scale Fish.”

“This fish occasionally appears in the waters off the counties of Meister and Rosby…”

By this point, Rein had already grasped the general situation.

“Initially, when I received the news of the attack on Meist last night, I was very concerned, but at that time, the communication stone Alyosha left with me showed no changes.”

“However, two hours ago, her communication stone shattered. I knew she must be facing a danger beyond her ability to resolve. My guess is that Alyosha might have encountered the Blood Curse Naga!”

“If it had been a regular danger, the two family Knights accompanying her both possess the strength of Peak Knights, so there should have been no major issues.”

“But if it’s a Blood Curse Naga they’re up against, I fear those two family Knights won’t stand a chance!”

“Your Excellency, if your daughter really has encountered the Blood Curse Naga, then even if I leave right now without stopping for anything, I’m afraid I might be too late?” Rein couldn’t help but ask, puzzled.

“One thing you might not be aware of, Baron Rein, is that Blood Curse Nagas tend to capture capable enemies alive whenever possible, for use in blood sacrifices.”

“Additionally, Alyosha has several Sorcery Scrolls on her, including two ‘Invisibility Technique’ scrolls…”

“So, this is also why I believe that even if Alyosha has encountered the Blood Curse Naga, and even if she cannot defeat it, she should still be alive for the time being.”

“But if this drags on for too long…”

Hearing this, Rein had no more questions and immediately nodded, saying, “Your Excellency, I’ll depart at once!”

“Good! Baron Rein, I have arranged for two ‘Rocma’ horses known for their endurance.”

Rocma?

They probably aren’t as good as his own black horse.

After all, his black horse was nearing its transformation into a ferocious beast and surpassed ordinary Rocma horses in all aspects including endurance.

“That won’t be necessary, Your Excellency. My mount should be faster than your Rocma horses.”

“That’s excellent! Also, if…” Javier seemed to think of something, his expression darkening.

“Don’t worry, Your Excellency. The Lady of Fortune will watch over Alyosha!” Rein waved it off, interrupting Javier’s thoughts.

…

After leaving the parlor, Rein quickly returned to his room to don his Knight’s plate armor.

Furthermore, apart from the standard pig-head mace and Glimmering Greatsword, Rein also took along that war bow, daggers, and so on.

And also…

Two bottles of special poison made according to ‘Maxwell’s Rare Poison Crafting Secrets’ after his class change to ‘Deadly Poison Master’!

Unlike ordinary people…

Confronted with the possibility of encountering a formidable ancient species like the Blood Curse Naga, Rein bore neither fear nor apprehension.

Instead, he was somewhat eager to test his mettle!

On one hand, he had just successfully transitioned to the Beast Priest (Legendary) class and needed some combat to test the new legendary profession’s combat capabilities.

On the other hand, it was only through battle that Rein could receive system experience rewards to elevate his Profession Level!

Moreover, after spending time in training at the Sword Bearers Branch, Rein’s strength had been steadily increasing!

At the moment, his Second Order threshold had reached 24%, not far from becoming a senior Great Knight…

Once he was ready with his weaponry, Rein left the Sword Bearers Branch.

First, he needed to visit Jenny’s new residence to take along the pets ‘Cookie,’ ‘Blood Feather,’ and the black horse.

Jenny and Agatha’s newly purchased villa in the administrative district was not far from there.

…

On the Shaded Boulevard by the gate of the Sword Bearers Branch…

A pie vendor at a nearby portable stall watched as Rein exited the gates of the Sword Bearers Branch and quickly turned around to release a pigeon from a cage behind him…

A few minutes later, Hammis at the Münster Axon Auction House received the pigeon.

Upon reading the note’s contents, a rare smile appeared on his stern face!

He muttered to himself through gritted teeth:

“Rein, I’ve finally waited for you to come out!”

“You despicable fellow! If it weren’t for Lord Horton’s Divination, I would still be in the dark because of you!”

“What about the honesty of an Imperial Sword Bearer, huh?”

“Damn it! I knew my feeling wasn’t wrong!”

“The tooth of the Ancient Giant Troll vanished right in your room!”

Just thinking about Rein’s clear eyes and his unhesitant response from before made Hammis’s forehead bulge with veins!
