Chapter 917: Chapter 330: Hippogriff Knight (Two-in-One Large Chapter) _2
But now it seems this might not necessarily be the case.
This made Rein feel a slight, vague worry.
However, he was no longer alone, nor was he the small-time Deputy Chief of Security in Flashgold Town that Lagaray once knew.
Now, he could completely leverage the vast organization of the Imperial Swordsmen to firstly obtain accurate intelligence and then make subsequent plans.
“Does Lady Olena have a way to gather information from the Frostwind Prairie?” Rein thought for a moment and said.
“To be precise, it’s the barbarian tribes over in Frostwind Prairie.” Rein added another sentence.
After all, the Frostwind Prairie spans several Empire Provinces, moreover, some parts of the prairie are too remote and extend beyond the Empire Territory.
So, it was necessary to clarify this to Olena.
As for Rein, what he cared about, naturally, was the barbarian tribe where Lagaray lived.
“Hm? Barbarian tribes?” Olena slightly opened her mouth, evidently surprised by Rein’s request.
Because Rein’s focus was indeed somewhat unique.
Yet immediately, Olena seemed to realize something and quickly nodded, saying, “Alright, Lord Rein, no problem! I will contact people to help investigate the situation of the barbarian tribes on Frostwind Prairie.”
“Thank you, Lady Olena, please expedite this matter.” Rein nodded and said.
“You’re welcome, I’ll take care of it once I return.” Olena nodded and smiled slightly.
—————–
At this moment, a sudden knock sounded on the door.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
“Come in!”
A guard walked in, respectfully presenting a stack of papers in his hands, saying, “Lord Rein, the portraits of those attackers from last night have been drawn according to your instructions.”
“Good, put them on the table.” Rein nodded slightly and said.
“As you command, my lord.” The guard bowed politely after placing the papers and slowly withdrew.
However, the guard’s words caused a sudden ripple in Olena’s heart on the side!
What! Lord Rein was attacked again?!
“Lord Rein, were you… attacked last night?” Olena’s eyes widened in surprise as she asked.
She happened to be on a rare day off yesterday, and this morning she went straight to Rein’s place without stopping at the Sword Bearers Branch, so she truly did not know about the attack on the Rein Mansion last night.
Of course, the main reason was also that Rein had resolved the battle much too quickly!
At the moment, other than the large hole in the western wall of the mansion, everything else was almost intact, with barely any trace of battle upon closer inspection.
“Yes, by the way, Lady Olena, while you’re at it, please help me contact the headquarters like last time to investigate a few individuals.” Rein handed Olena the stack of portraits.
They were portraits of Sam and the ‘Earth Dragon Knight’ Hansal, among others.
It’s just that some among them had their heads smashed by Rein, causing the artist quite a bit of time and effort to complete.
Since the matronly Jennifer became a shareholder of the Axon Auction House’s Mingster branch, although Rein could conduct some investigations through Jennifer’s internal channels, Rein thought it would be better to have two lines running simultaneously.
After all, when it comes to the people behind the Sam Group and clues about Anna’s mother, relying solely on the matron’s channels might lead to misinformation or the information may lack accuracy.
“Alright, Lord Rein, I will contact the headquarters immediately. Also, this kind of audacious attack against you is a serious provocation to the Mingster Swordsmen Division, and I will report this situation to Admiral Edward right away.”
Olena’s face turned solemn, filled with righteous indignation.
No joke, this was not the first or second time, and the capable young woman decided to report it diligently to Admiral Edward to severely punish those behind the scenes.
“Thanks for the trouble.” Rein smiled slightly.
…
After Olena left, Rein finally had time to review the combat records from last night:
….
[Congratulations, you have defeated a formidable enemy and received 7 Golden Skill Points!]
[Congratulations, your Will (hidden) attribute has increased!]
….
[Congratulations, your King of Thousand Blades (Epic) Profession Level has increased!]
[Congratulations, your King of Thousand Blades (Epic) Profession Level has increased!]
…
After last night’s battle, Rein’s new Epic Level Profession ‘King of Thousand Blades’ leveled up three levels, reaching lv4, earning him 3 attribute points and 3 skill points.
Including the points he had left, his total remaining attribute points were now 4, with 5 skill points remaining, and 28 Golden Skill Points.
Rein crossed his arms and paced back and forth in the room, pondering.
“Having ‘Top Level Weapon Mastery’, aside from needing a Warhammer when using ‘Soul Shatter Strike’, made wielding any weapon not much different in terms of power differences.”
“Of course, when using Secret Technique, because the level of the Secret Technique differs, the power varies considerably.”
Rein glanced at the ‘King of Thousand Blades’ profession panel, which was filled with dense amounts of Extraordinary Battle Techniques, including dual-handed warhammer, dual-handed greatsword, shield, single-handed axe, dagger, finger tiger, iron skin staff, bow, riding spear, and throwing spear, covering different categories of weapons.
Instantly, Rein felt somewhat dazzled by it.
Upon closer inspection, one would further notice the differences.
Some Extraordinary Battle Techniques, Rein had already raised to the level of Top Secret Technique, like the dual-handed warhammer, dual-handed greatsword, etc.
Some were at the Advanced Secret Skill level.
And some remained at the Intermediate Secret Technique level, having seen little improvement.
