Chapter 748: Chapter 288: Fusion (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)

It wasn’t just because Rein was worried about the safety of his family in Mingster; he had also felt the influence of the “Evil Flame Mark” on himself.

In the battle that had just taken place, a faintly violent desire had surged in his heart, compelling him to tear the enemy before his eyes to shreds.

Fortunately, it didn’t last long. He quickly came to his senses and controlled the impulse.

Therefore, Rein had used the Heavy Punch Combo instead of rapid slicing.

Otherwise, the guy in front of him would now have become the raw material for “stewed meat.”

But it was still a little too late.

The leather-armored man in front of him, whether an assassin or a spy, had already been killed on the spot.

Logically, he should have taken a prisoner and interrogated him before deciding what to do.

Moreover, the event made Rein wary of the mark’s influence on his inner self; it seemed to be stronger than what Prince Meinya had described.

Just one day had passed, and there was already this level of influence.

Rein knew that as time went on, the negative impacts triggered by the mark could become increasingly intense.

It would be better to eradicate it as soon as possible, so he needed to return to Mingster quickly.

Attracted by Rein’s solemn demeanor, Cleya, with a slight frown, said, “Rein, do you need help?”

“There are some shops and personnel belonging to the Habus family in Mingster that you can freely command. This Seal Ring represents the direct lineage of the Habus family and serves as proof.”

Cleya took out a round, golden seal ring bearing the image of the Calorie bird—the family crest of the Habus family—and handed it to Rein.

“Thank you.” Rein thought for a moment, accepted it, and did not refuse.

“By the way, there are no airships heading to Mingster tonight. Rein, why don’t you depart early tomorrow morning?”

“That’s fine.” Rein nodded his head.

If there were no military airships available, even if he rode a Speed Trotter Horse at full speed, it would take him half a day to arrive—nearly the same as setting out early tomorrow morning.

“Shadia, find out what time the earliest imperial military airship to Mingster is tomorrow, will you?”

“As you wish, Lady Cleya.” The maid, dressed in her uniform, bowed slightly and quickly left.

At that moment, Cleya bent over, and her tightly stretched buttocks curved into a round and full arc, causing Rein to stare in astonishment.

“Rein, the weapon of the opponent is no ordinary item; it seems to be an exquisite dagger. Look at the inscriptions on it…” Cleya had talked for quite a while without getting a response from Rein.

This made Cleya somewhat curious. When she turned her head back, she saw Rein staring blankly at her protruding buttocks.

Immediately, Cleya’s face flushed red!

As the daughter of a hereditary Earl, she was more precocious than most when it came to matters of love, but she had yet to experience real romance, and shyness was still an instinctive trait of young girls.

Seeing that Cleya had suddenly stood straight up, Rein came back to his senses and noticed that Cleya, her face slightly red, was handing him a pair of daggers.

“Ahem… Daggers?”

Rein couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed.

However, Rein reflected that the impulse he had felt just now might also have been influenced by the Evil Flame Mark.

After taking the leather-armored man’s pair of daggers, Rein began to look them over carefully.

Suddenly, Rein’s eyes narrowed.

The material of the dallers appeared to be mixed with mithril. In addition, the complex yet ordered lines and symbols on them caused a flash of lightning to streak across Rein’s mind.

He immediately thought of something—the “Secret Silver Engraved Plate Armor.”

It was also in “Crowley’s Armor Casting Technique Volume Two,” the final set of plate armor that he had yet to create, which had the special effect of ‘slightly amplifying witchcraft power.’

“Creya, you mentioned inscriptions just now. Do you understand them?” Rein looked at Creya with an intense gaze.

For Rein, creating the Secret Silver Engraved Plate Armor was not only about the equipment’s appeal to him.

More importantly, it could relate to his progression as an ‘Armor Casting Technique’ practitioner.

To Rein’s disappointment, he saw Creya shake her head and say, “I don’t really understand inscriptions, only to the extent that I can simply recognize them.”

Cleya could see that Rein seemed very interested in the inscriptions, so she added another sentence.

“However… as far as I know, there are several Inscription Masters in Mingster. Although their skills might not all be high, if you just want to get a preliminary understanding of inscriptions, it should be enough.”

“There are in Mingster?” On hearing this news, Rein’s eyes brightened.

“Of course. Learning inscriptions is difficult because it requires a high level of spiritual power. So, if you want to learn advanced inscription techniques, you’ll have to go to a Wizard school.”

“Usually, those who have mastered advanced inscription skills are formal Wizards of the various wizard schools.”

Upon hearing this, Rein suddenly understood something.

His previous search for an Inscription Master in the blacksmith’s shop was as pointless as looking for a fish in a tree—he had been looking in the wrong direction.

…

After returning to his room, Rein suddenly remembered.

Because of the sudden incident, he had not yet had the chance to ask Cleya about the bloodline breathing technique.

But after a moment of reflection, he felt that the matter of the bloodline breathing technique didn’t hinder his ongoing fusion of the two breathing techniques he had in hand.

The reason was simple; if the two breathing techniques were to be merged and the result turned out poorly or even conflicted,

then there would be no need for him to learn the bloodline breathing technique.

But if the result was good, then he could consider taking a closer look at the bloodline breathing technique later on.
