Chapter 625: Chapter 257: Rewards and Redemption (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2

“It’s a recording of some visual fragments from when Lord Reine was rescuing them. The provider is Alexandra Bullock, a formal team member of the ‘Earthshaker’ Split-Tooth Bear squad.”

“According to the Griffin Knight, Alexandra initially did not want to provide it, she wanted to keep it for her own viewing,” the female clerk said, her fair cheeks coloring slightly.

“Hmm?”

Reine was slightly surprised as well; he had not expected that someone from the Split-Tooth Bear squad had recorded his battle at that time.

Alexandra?

That big-bottomed Peak Knight?

Well….

As the playback continued….

Although the Shadowstone had no sound, the recorded images were very clear.

When Yumaz and Olena saw dozens of white-scaled fishmen falling outward in a neat, fan-shaped pattern like harvested wheat, both were astonished!

Such might; no need to see more.

Only…

The Barone in front of them was known for his hammer skills; when did he master a sonic-based secret technique?

He truly concealed his skill well!

“There should be no problem then, Lord Reine, in regard to you killing two Naga Leaders,” Yumaz said with a smile.

“The second issue is, the Rock Team mentioned that in the end, you encountered a giant Naga with the strength of a titled knight, didn’t you?”

Titled knight?

Is that a level above a Great Knight?

Reine frowned slightly and quickly replied, “Lord Yumaz, I am not quite clear about the definition of a titled knight, but that giant Naga was significantly larger than a normal male Blood Curse Naga.”

“Moreover, according to Miss Alyosha’s translation of the Sea Clan language, this giant Naga seems to be called ‘Sea Tide Piercer Ruljatz’.”

Yumaz nodded, saying, “Sea Tide Piercer?”

“That’s right!”

“Titles have existed since ancient times; this must be the title of the giant Naga you encountered, and Ruljatz is likely his name,” Yumaz explained.

“A titled knight, for example, can be likened to your ‘Meister Siege Hammer,’ which can be considered a localized title,” Olena explained with a smile.

“However, an empire’s titled knight represents a certain level of strength that has earned imperial recognition and an official title.”

“We are curious, Lord Reine, how you managed to emerge unscathed when Battista, the captain of the Rock Team and a Peak Knight, was seriously injured and is currently under treatment,” Yumaz said.

“Of course, if it involves some of your secrets, Lord Reine, you can choose not to answer, and it won’t affect the mission evaluation.”

“There’s nothing inconvenient to discuss,” Reine said.

Reveal his strength?

In the Sword Bearers Branch, without considering how likely it is for enemies to infiltrate, showing some strength might indeed be more advantageous than harmful, likely earning him greater attention from the upper echelons of the Sword Bearers.

Moreover, he was revealing only a portion of his current strength.

If enemies were to attack him based on this as a measure of his strength, by that time, he might have progressed even further.

However, Reine looked around and asked, “Do you have a hammer?”

The weapon he received from ‘Skull Crusher’ Wald, the Skull Warhammer, was made with a downscaled human skull and was a one-handed hammer, so Reine had not been carrying it with him.

This time, however, after mastering the Advanced Secret Skill ‘Hammer of Shattering,’ Reine thought he could start using it.

Because the Advanced Secret Skill ‘Hammer of Shattering’ had moved beyond the framework of the Tokkal Hammer Skill, a two-handed hammer technique, reaching a level where any hammer, whether two-handed or one-handed, could be used.

“Hmm? Are you speaking of a combat hammer? No! No! You don’t need to demonstrate, just explaining will suffice,” Olena said, suddenly startled.

“Haha, Lord Reine, even the Obsidian Titan couldn’t withstand your powerful hammer, much less this conference room,” Yumaz couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

This did make Reine realize his misunderstanding.

He candidly said, “That’s because I’ve grasped the advanced secret of Hammer Skill.”

“What?” Yumaz’s previously cheerful face suddenly stiffened.

“Advanced Secret Skill?” Olena, too, widened her beautiful eyes in shock, her lips parting slightly.

Both had seen many knight prodigies.

But according to the records, the Baron before them was only sixteen years old!

And he had grasped an Advanced Secret Skill?

Truly an unparalleled talent.

At least in Mingster, within the Sword Bearers Branch, they had never heard of such a gifted young man.

Seconds later, regaining his composure, Yumaz asked, “Lord Reine, when did you grasp the Advanced Secret Skill? During the Sword Bearers’ examination, you probably hadn’t yet, or else the Obsidian Titan would have been more than just toppled over.”

“Yes,” Reine replied.

“It was during this battle that I grasped it, specifically, while fighting the Naga Leader.”

“I see, with the Advanced Secret Skill, indeed, there was a chance to match the strength of a titled knight,” Yumaz said, suddenly enlightened.

Olena was hurriedly and seriously recording something on the side.

“I’ve asked all my questions. Lord Reine, in terms of the mission, do you have anything else to add?” Yumaz said with a smile.

“Currently, we have the report submitted by the Rock Team,” the sharp-witted Olena added.

“If, Lord Reine, you have any other information, and if it’s verified to be true and significant, the reward can be increased,” she said.
