She had purposely done an elaborate makeup and sprayed the expensive Royal No.5 perfume.
This is a top-level perfume blended with the complex fragrances of rosemary, rose, and jasmine, which Mia usually couldnât bear to use.
Because for a wizard like Rein, with powerful spiritual power, any witchcraft that confuses the mind is a big taboo. If it fails, the consequences are unimaginable.
"Itâs normal. When a rural person like him comes to the Imperial City and especially knows that the headquarters has so many good things, how can he resist not exchanging?" Nathan said with a smile.
Although he has a pretty good background, being the second son of the Imperial Cityâs Marquis, since joining the Sword Holder Headquarters, after seeing those special items that can be exchanged, he couldnât help but salivate.
Even for his Marquis family lineage, getting some things from the headquarters is extremely difficult.
"By the way, Chandler, the other party just arrived, probably didnât have many merit points. Do you know what they exchanged?" Nathan couldnât help but ask curiously.
Chandler, with his handsome looks and elegant demeanor, is usually very familiar with many female staff members at headquarters.
"Not sure exactly, but what the other party was holding seems to be a sheepskin scroll; it should either be a Transcendent battle technique or witchcraft." Chandler slightly recalled and said.
Chandlerâs response made Nathan pause in surprise.
"Huh? These two items certainly arenât cheap. Could it be that the other party accumulated many Task Evaluation Medals and merit points at the original branch?" Nathan showed a puzzled face.
"But that doesnât seem right either...."
"Stop guessing. The other party, on last occasion, single-handedly wiped out the Sea God Sectâs base at Wailing Wind Fjord, so medals and points are naturally not lacking." Greenwood said with a serious expression.
Hearing that Rein exchanged for witchcraft or combat technique, Greenwood felt a bad premonition in his heart.
No way!
Canât let the other party continue to enhance their strength, it seems the action plan needs to be expedited.
"Base? But even if they killed a Legendary cultist, the reward isnât much, right?" Chandler paused in surprise upon listening.
His Secret Silver-level squad also joined forces to kill a cultist legend during the last mission.
"There were three Sea God Sect Legends in the base." Greenwoodâs face became increasingly unpleasant as he spoke.
He hadnât been back in the Imperial City for long before hearing the news from the butler Owen.
His immediate reaction was disbelief, thinking it couldnât be possible; how could the other partyâs strength be so formidable!
Last time when he faced off against Rein, although he lost, he believed the gap wasnât too big.
But in a single battle to be able to kill three cultist legends, what kind of concept is this?
Yet the butler Owen indicated that it was during a dinner the Duke had with a certain high-level official at the Sword Holder Headquarters, that the latter personally told the Duke, and the information is definitely reliable.
"What?! So strong?!" Several people turned their heads, revealing astonishment, and immediately understood why Greenwood valued the other party so highly.
"This is tricky, huh? Do we know which aspect the other party is adept at?"
"Adept at Metal Series witchcraft, at the same time proficient in multiple Transcendent battle techniques, with no obvious weaknesses. However.... the proficiency in witchcraft should be stronger than close combat." Greenwood touched his finger, which had just been treated, and said.
Whether itâs an illusion, although restored, he often felt vague pain in his finger, which made him increasingly resent Rein.
"Metal Series Wizard? Thatâs indeed rare." Mia raised her eyebrows, saying.
"But you donât need to worry about that. As long as you can connect with this Rein and gain some trust, thatâs enough." Greenwood waved his hand, saying.
"By the way, the other party hasnât recruited team members yet, I think it wonât be long before this Rein should recruit members. You all spread the word, say this Rein got lucky to advance as a Fine Gold Swordsman."
"Good idea. At headquarters, no one would risk joining a team with a captain whose strength isnât strong enough," Nathan smiled and nodded, saying.
"At that time, you will proactively join the other partyâs team."
"Understood, when the other party goes out on a mission, deliberately leak the whereabouts or information, let the other party be..." Chandlerâs eyes lit up, saying.
"No, itâs sacrificing for the nation!" Greenwood couldnât help but laugh, saying.
"I will have the family contact them for specific task assignments and pick the highest difficulty of Fine Gold-level for him. Of course, donât worry, I will have the family dispatch strong individuals nearby, so after Reinâs death, we can continue completing the task."
"Haha, truly an impeccable strategy!" Miaâs beautiful eyes turned into slits.
"Hehe, I said I would let him understand what a noble family means!"
"This kind of young man from a small town, who mistakenly thinks he has some talent yet doesnât recognize the majesty of the heavens, should obediently roll back to the countryside." Greenwood moved his still not very flexible fingers and said with resentment.
Having looked at Reinâs file, he naturally knew the other party was from a place called Flashgold Town.
A while back, he had specially sent someone to investigate that place, wanting to know exactly how Rein came to grow.
In the end, ever since Flashgold Town was attacked by the Black Flame Cult last year, the original residents were nearly all dead or wounded, the investigation came to naught.
"Wait, there is another issue. According to regulations, the assigned tasks for Fine Gold-level Sword Bearers only occur once every three months, and if a same-level task is completed, it can be extended."
"Which means the other party can drag it out for nearly three months before going out to complete a task?" Chandler suddenly frowned and said.
"No, from today when he reports, he has entered our rhythm."
"Soon, he will go out to complete the assigned task." Greenwood exuded a confident smile.
