Chapter 972: Chapter 344: Herb Baked Eggs (Two-in-One Chapter)_2

In an instant, the vile thoughts in his heart vanished into thin air.

I want to be a good person!

…

At this moment, the gray-white Wizard Robe on Rein had already been damaged, revealing a set of silver Secret Silver Engraved Plate Armor.

The mysterious engravings, along with the shiny silver armor, gave everyone a sense of unfathomable mystique.

Although Merita recognized the material of the armor at first glance as mithril, she was even more shocked inside!

“It’s one thing to be powerful, but also exceptionally wealthy!”

“And the fact that he also has the backing of the Empire… Doesn’t this mean…?”

Suddenly, Merita thought of something.

This time she received an urgent notification from the academy to gather combat personnel and return to Winterfort Academy to organize defense.

According to the communication, a gigantic Ancestor Dragon named Kolaxius suddenly appeared in the Northland.

Like other Ancestor Dragons, it is inherently violent and is currently gathering a large number of followers, sweeping through the Northland.

Her mentor, who is also the headmaster of Winterfort Academy, was seriously injured in a battle with Kolaxius a few days ago.

After witnessing Rein’s amazing close combat abilities, a thought arose in Merita’s mind.

If the academy’s Wizards could have someone like Rein with extraordinary close combat skills to hold the front line while fighting that Ancestor Dragon, they could just keep casting spells from the back.

In that case, defeating that Ancestor Dragon should be easy, right?

…

After coming to his senses, the chubby Yannis waddled over with his hefty body, quickly coming before Rein, and said:

“Lord Rein, it’s all thanks to you this time. On behalf of the Cameron convoy, I would like to express our gratitude, these Gold Coins….”

As Yannis spoke, he waved his hand, and a guard behind him came forward with a heavy wooden box.

“No need, it was a small thing, and riding a flying mount this time, it’s inconvenient for me to carry a box.” Rein replied with a smile.

For Rein at the moment, unless it’s ten thousand Gold Coins to start with, perhaps it would mean something to him.

“This… you…” Yannis seemed to hesitate.

“Quickly tend to the wounded, we should hurry and leave the Falling Stone Tunnel as soon as possible.” Rein patted Yannis’ shoulder and said.

“Yes, Lord Rein!”

….

“Lord Rein, please forgive my intrusion, but I would like to discuss something with you.” After Yannis left, Merita, who had been pondering for a long while, stepped forward and said.

“Oh? Lady Merita, if there’s anything, feel free to speak.” Rein looked at the white-robed Witch in front of him and replied with a smile.

As for Merita, he felt no aversion.

During the previous battle, Rein saw clearly that she was also striving to fight, though ultimately it wasn’t of much use, her character was quite evident.

Far better than those other two.

“It’s like this, I would like to ask for your help, Lord Rein.”

“As compensation, I can provide you with specific information on an improved Metal Series Witchcraft ‘Cutting Net’.”

Upon hearing the first half of Merita’s sentence, Rein initially intended to refuse, as he was there to look for Lagaray and had neither the time nor the inclination to help others excessively.

However, when he heard the words ‘Metal Series Witchcraft’, his eyebrows raised.

Particularly with the name of this witchcraft ‘Cutting Net’, which seemed to be an attack-oriented Metal Series Witchcraft, it piqued Rein’s interest.

After all, the Metal Series Witchcrafts he currently mastered, even including the Zero Level ‘Sharpness Technique’, were only three: the innate wizardry ‘Metal Morphing Spell’, defense-oriented First Level Witchcraft ‘Metal Barrier’.

If he could obtain a new attack-oriented witchcraft, that would be great.

However, Rein looked around and said to Merita, “Lady Merita, we can discuss the help you need from me, but not now. Can we talk once we’ve left the Falling Stone Tunnel?”

“That would be great, of course.” Merita was worried that Lord Rein would outright decline.

Seeing his expression now, it seems he’s quite interested in the Metal Series Witchcraft she just mentioned.

The subsequent journey was much smoother, though the tunnel continued to spew out Molten Lava Snakes, but Rein easily dealt with them, making them sustenance for Blood Feather.

By the time they reached the exit, Blood Feather’s belly was already a bit distended.

An hour later.

On the other end of the Falling Stone Tunnel, dozens of vehicles from the Cameron convoy were accounting and resting.

Merita approached Rein and Anna with a long-necked amber bottle, smiling as she said:

“Lord Rein, Miss Anna, this is a specialty of Winterfort Academy, ‘Golden Thorns Honey Tea’. It’s refreshing, invigorating, and highly acclaimed by the Wizards. Would you two like to try it?”

Anna’s beautiful eyes lit up; if it were an alcoholic drink, she might not have liked it, but tea was different. She glanced at Rein with her lovely eyes.

“Sure, thank you, Lady Merita.” Rein replied with a smile.

Poison?

Rein wasn’t worried, let’s not forget his enhanced poison resistance as a Deadly Poison Master.

If necessary, he could even transform into a Dragon-man, directly immune to low-level poisons.

Of course, most importantly, after the battle, he didn’t believe Merita had any motive to poison them.

Merita poured a cup each for Rein and Anna.

“Good tea!” Rein savored it carefully.

This tea, infused with Golden Thorns Grass, had a sweet taste but also a refreshing beer-like quality, and even seemed to slightly enhance spiritual power, explaining why it was so well-received by the Wizards.
