Chapter 1098: Chapter 378: Guardian Family (Part 4)

In her view, there was nothing more between her and Chandler.

“Has the news about Rein advancing by luck due to his lack of strength spread?”

“It has already been spread through people at headquarters.”

“Well, it will still be hard on you two. When the time comes, actively join the opposing team, and during the battle, just….” Greenwood said in a deep voice.

“This… can’t you send someone to take action after he and the Poison Liquid Flying Dragon have both lost or are seriously injured?” After listening, Mia felt that Greenwood’s plan was extremely shameless.

“The opponent has killed three Legendary warriors; their strength cannot be underestimated. I want to ensure nothing goes wrong.”

“Rest assured, I will ensure your safety with the family’s strong members at the back. Furthermore, the reward for killing the Poison Liquid Flying Dragon will be entirely credited to you.”

“Alright, I agree.” Chandler shrugged and said.

…

Meanwhile.

Inside a counter at the Sword Holder Headquarters mission hall.

“I’d like to recruit a few team members.” Rein handed the Fine Gold Emblem to the female staff in front of him and said.

“Uh… alright, Lord Rein, what are your requirements?”

“Secret Silver Level, just need to have a skill, preferably a wizard, five people in total.” Rein said.

When facing a flying creature like a dragon, unless it’s a Flying Knight, regular knights have little effect. Comparatively, wizards are naturally a bit better.

Additionally, the regulations at headquarters are similar to the branch, with the maximum team size generally being six people.

“Alright, Lord Rein, it’s all filled in.”

“Hmm, thank you.”

…

At the banquet that evening, Bavarian Mansion.

“Oh? Has Lord Rein received an assigned task so quickly?” Hearing this news, Halowin frowned slightly.

Although he hadn’t joined the Sword Holders, as the Duke of Minter’s legitimate son and a Griffin Knight, he was very familiar with the operations of most institutions in the Empire.

He immediately sensed something was off.

“Someone must be pulling some strings behind the scenes.”

“Probably.” Rein nodded.

“By the way, Lord Halowin, do you know the situation of the Drum Family?” Rein asked, after giving it some thought.

Previously, Rein was naturally hesitant to ask this question, firstly because he didn’t know Halowin’s character, and secondly because he didn’t know the relationship between the Bavarian family and the Drum Family.

However, after getting to know each other over the past few days, they gradually understood some things.

“The Drum Family?” Halowin’s face changed.

From the previous matters, he instantly associated something.

“Do you need me to come forward to mediate?” After thinking for a moment, Halowin’s face became serious as he proactively suggested.

This was, in fact, a very responsible thing to say, as this was the Imperial City, not Minter.

Not everyone would give face to the Duke of Minter.

“No need for now, thank you, Lord Halowin.” Rein smiled slightly and said.

“Hmm, the Drum Family and our Bavarian family don’t have much interaction, but I do know a bit….”

“Although on the surface they seem like a duke family like us Bavarians, in reality, their family has an Imperial Guardian.”

“In such cases, we generally call them a Guardian Family. Although both are dukes, the difference is significant.”

“Oh? They have an Imperial Guardian in the family?” Rein frowned and said.

This was indeed a bit tricky.

However, Rein showed not the slightest hint of fear.

Ever since battling the Nether Sea Goddess’s projection, he knew his level of strength; turning into a Dragon-man General puts him firmly at the Legendary Peak.

Even an Epic-level expert doesn’t intimidate him, as he has the trump card ‘Soul-shattering Warhammer.’

Moreover, he hoped that an enemy would give him the chance to use the King of Thousand Blades’ core skill ‘Bloodthirsty Frenzy.’ Besides, his strength had improved significantly during this time.

“Yes, besides this, the family also has several Legendary-level advisors, and the Drum Family is deeply rooted in the Imperial City, with close relations with many prominent families….”

Halowin provided a detailed introduction.

“And who is the Guardian?” Rein’s main focus was still on the Guardian.

“Dragon Knight Pantoscoke, titled ‘Storm Cloud’!” Halowin said with a serious expression.
