Chapter 1440 - 493: Decision

After listening to the few compensation conditions mentioned by Trena, it further confirmed Rein’s judgment.

The other party most likely did not lie about this matter.

Because judging from the compensation conditions, whether it’s this luxurious mansion located in the core area of the Federation Capital Anthuor, or a whole set of Dawn Killing Moves from other series, it all amounts to astronomical compensation.

Especially the latter, whose value is immeasurable and almost impossible to acquire from any current unofficial channels, not even from large auction houses.

It can only be obtained through official channels of the Empire or Federation, and normally it requires significant contribution.

This is enough to demonstrate the Federation’s sincerity.

However, although Rein felt the sincerity of the Federation, he had his own ideas, and he was determined to obtain the new Dawn Killing Move.

Because this will be an important part of his strength enhancement, now, with his Mutated Dragon Bloodline concentration reaching Super level, the real damage ratio of ’Dragon Soul Strike’ has further increased.

In other words, the Dawn Killing Move will elevate his strength even more significantly.

Particularly this time’s new Dawn Killing Move, which is different from the Domain-type ’Steel Forest’.

Rein has roughly judged from the first three spells like ’Sawtooth Ring’ that this should be a powerful single-target Dawn Killing Move, which is precisely what he currently lacks, a killing move with the Decisive Hammer effect!

Because as his strength increases rapidly, some of his original trump cards are no longer trump cards.

Currently, the only thing that can be considered a trump card is the newly mastered Sixth Form, even if it’s the Domain-type Dawn Killing Move ’Steel Forest’, it is not particularly effective against single powerful enemies, such as the Ancient Red Dragon ’Anguskin’.

"Ms. Trena, I have felt the sincerity of the Federation."

"However, compared to the compensation you mentioned, I would prefer to personally retrieve what belongs to me. So, I hope you can agree to let me go to that... site of the Ancient Goblin Empire."

"By then, if Lord Haleem is alive, I’ll rescue him along the way. If he unfortunately passes away, I can also retrieve what I want from his remains."

"As for the compensation you mentioned, it won’t be necessary," Rein said seriously.

"This..." Trena’s beautiful eyes widened, looking at Rein in surprise.

This was another completely unexpected answer for her.

In her view, it was unwise for Rein, as a top genius of the Empire, to put himself in danger.

If she were Rein, she certainly would not choose to take risks.

However, what Rein said, she was momentarily unable to refute.

After all, what’s wrong with retrieving what should belong to him?

It’s just that she couldn’t agree to this immediately, because Vice Speaker Bertrand had already said that it was likely the ruins of the Ancient Goblin Empire’s capital city.

If that’s really the case, there might be some valuable data critical to the Federation, such as demon statue making, mechanical production, etc.

Normally, these are assets for the future of the Federation, and absolutely cannot be casually leaked.

Furthermore, there’s the issue of risk.

Even though the strength Rein displayed was undoubtedly epic-level, and he could transform into a dragon, there have been ancient ruins with high danger levels that could cause even epic-level powerhouses to fall.

In fact, the number isn’t just one or two.

So, in case Rein falls in there, not only would the Federation’s initial investment be wasted, but it might also lead to diplomatic disputes with the Empire.

"I’m sorry, Lord Rein, the danger level of these ruins seems very high. I think neither the Federation nor the Empire would allow young talents like you to take such risks."

Trena spoke sincerely, and also pointed out the risk, the Empire, and the Federation, believing that Rein should understand the meaning in her words.

Upon hearing these words from the beautiful councilwoman in front of him, Rein nodded and said, "I will communicate with Prince Menia’s side. But as for the Federation, I will need to trouble Ms. Trena."

"As for the risk? Haha, for instance, fighting the Ancient Fire Dragon ’Anguskin’, isn’t that risky?"

"Ms. Trena, to be frank, this Metal Series Witchcraft is very important to me. So, I’ll bear the risk myself."

"This... fine."

"I hope Lord Rein can give me some time, I need to discuss this matter with the Vice Chairman."

"Of course, but I hope you and the Vice Chairman can decide as soon as possible, after all, Lord Haleem might still be waiting for rescue in the ruins, right?"

"You’re right," Trena nodded.

Currently, there was no confirmed indication proving Haleem’s death, the wording in the situation report was ’missing’.

Trena also remembered a previous incident where an exploration team went missing in a ruin and then reappeared months later, and that matter even made it to the headlines of important Federation newspapers.

Due to Rein’s ’lack of tact’, the subsequent dinner party ended swiftly.

Rein also returned straight to the National Guest Manor where the Empire Delegation was staying in Anthuor.

...

Meanwhile.

In Zetaya, beneath the west side of Ressero Canyon.

Within the massive ruins of an ancient goblin city.

A sturdy man in a Federal military uniform was running quickly.

However, judging by his actions of constantly looking back and the look of fear and anxiety on his face, it was clear that something terrifying seemed to be chasing him.
