Chapter 1333: Chapter 450: Radiation and Secrets
On the other side, after delivering the long-range airship carrying Anna and the Pure-blood Elf to a safe boundary, Rein rode Blood Feather midway, heading towards the nearby Valziger Ruins.
Since he had already accomplished his set goal—ensuring Anna’s safety—Rein moderately relaxed the concealment of his presence and rode Blood Feather swiftly through the sky.
He planned to descend for a walk as he approached his destination.
Speed varies greatly between high-speed flight in the air and traversing through dense forests.
After about half an hour, Rein began to slow Blood Feather down, comparing it against the map imprinted in his mind, and started descending slowly.
“This should be around here, perhaps three kilometers further northwest.” Rein surveyed the surroundings from mid-air and thought.
Geographically speaking, this location had technically exited Ferdinand Forest; Rein had spotted a destroyed elf outpost several kilometers away while in mid-air.
Of course, the geographical environment does not change drastically due to human-made boundaries.
This area remains a dense forest region with undulating hills, abundant shrubs, and dense vegetation; the only difference is that it falls within the Empire’s territory.
Minutes later, as Rein gazed at the dense forest within his sight, he remarked in his heart:
“Wide and flat, with no traces of any artificial remnants, it’s impossible to tell it’s a ruins site.”
“If not for Mogaro mentor’s information, it would be hard to believe that beneath this site was once a large ancient Wizard School’s old grounds.”
Suddenly, the thin piece in Rein’s pocket vibrated.
“This is Rein.” Rein took out the piece and said.
“Lord Rein, we have received Miss Anna, her clansmen, and Lord Lambert; they are all settled now.” Olena’s voice came through from the piece.
Meanwhile, Rein faintly heard the familiar clear voices of a few women whispering in the background.
“Lord Rein, I’ll let Miss Anna speak with you.”
“Alright.”
Soon, Anna’s soft, slightly shy voice echoed from the opposite side of the piece:
“Rein, we’ve arrived at the seventh outpost; Olena has been very considerate, having arranged rooms, food, and medication for everyone in advance, it’s thoroughly thoughtful.”
“Mm… and Miss Beyoncé and Miss Claire are both well.” Anna added.
Hearing Anna’s familiar voice made Rein’s heart soften.
Evidently, the whispering voice earlier had been Anna and Claire talking.
“Then rest well, and if there’s anything with the clansmen, seek Olena’s help. I’ll be entering the ruins later, where the signal might not be great.”
“Contact me once I emerge.” Rein thought it over and said.
“Mm, Rein… please be careful.”
“I will, rest assured.”
…
Inside the seventh outpost.
Once Anna ended her call with Rein, Claire and Beyoncé exchanged glances, then kindly held Anna’s fair hand and said:
“Hehe, Miss Anna, it’s our first time hearing Captain speak so gently; it seems Captain really adores you.”
“Besides, a beauty like you deserves Captain’s adoration.”
Claire spoke while examining Anna, who had long returned to her true appearance.
She couldn’t help but marvel at the Creator’s favor for Anna.
As a Half-Elf, Anna doesn’t possess the typical elf beauty’s tall, aloof demeanor, but rather blends human girls’ cuteness and charm with the Elf clan’s beauty and noble aura almost perfectly.
Therefore, upon hearing Olena mention Captain Rein’s girlfriend was coming to the seventh outpost, both she and Beyoncé were shocked and intrigued.
“Don’t… don’t say that; Miss Claire, you’re beautiful too.” Anna blushed, lowering her head slightly, seemingly embarrassed.
“Besides, Miss Beyoncé and Lady Olena are also very beautiful.” Seeming to think it unfair to praise one alone, Anna immediately added.
“Hehehe~”
“Haha!”
Instantly, all three laughed.
“Miss Anna, you’re too cute. I plan to hold you and sleep together tonight; I also want to enjoy Captain’s treatment.” Claire’s eyes gleamed as she teasingly smiled.
“Alright, Claire, let Miss Anna rest well first, and later during dinner, we can let Miss Anna tell us how she got together with Captain, hehe.”
The curvaceous Beyoncé also teased at this moment.
Their playful banter made Anna flush red in embarrassment, losing her composure…
But she sensed no malice from the two, merely teasing.
….
Meanwhile, Rein had used the token from Mogaro, a Bixiu Mechanization School’s rhomboid crystal, arriving at the subterranean cavern entrance beneath a hillside slope partially concealed by shrubs.
Judging by the entrance’s diameter, the initial gaze might lead many to believe this was merely a bear’s den.
Upon parting the shrubs, guided by the crystal’s coordinates, and traversing several forks and narrow tunnels, after about half an hour of walking, Rein approached the meeting point Mogaro had mentioned.
From afar, Rein saw at the tunnel’s end a spacious underground hall emitting a faint green glow.
