"If that’s the case, I have no objections."
"With these two Crowns present, even if Lord Rein wants to take so information on Ancient Goblin Technology, I’m afraid it won’t be possible." The elder with the pipe pondered for a mont, then nodded in agreent.
But from his expression, it’s clear that the elder with the pipe seed to agree reluctantly.
Most likely due to Vice Speaker Bertrand’s earlier stance, which forced him to make a compromise.
And seeing this situation, the military general thought for a mont, then nodded as well, saying, "Since we can contact these two Crowns to participate, the next rescue operation is more assured. I hear that Lord Rein’s combat prowess is very strong, so I agree too."
"Then it’s settled!" Bertrand’s face also showed a smile.
"Councilor Trena, the next matter is in your hands."
"Alright, Vice Chairman."
The beautiful councilor Trena nodded, her face calm, though inwardly she truly breathed a sigh of relief.
She has a premonition that regardless of whether they agree or not, Lord Rein will head to the ruins.
...
At the National Guest Manor, in a luxurious standalone villa.
"Rein, are you going on a solitary mission to explore an unknown Ancient Goblin Empire ruin in Zetaya?" nia couldn’t help but look at Rein in surprise.
"Yes, Prince nia. This is related to my current Advanced ditation thod. Perhaps you should take a look at this." Rein said sincerely.
At the sa ti, he took out an ancient sheepskin scroll map and displayed it on the coffee table, the map originating from the Valziger School ruins.
Before coming, Rein had thought about how to persuade nia to agree.
He contemplated and decided to reveal part of the secret, explaining from the perspective of the Advanced ditation thod.
Because for a Dawn Wizard, the Advanced ditation thod is nearly irreplaceable, aning if he’s not allowed to search, it’s akin to cutting off his path.
This is sothing all Dawn Wizards cannot accept.
nia carefully looked at the map, slightly surprised by Rein, saying:
"I didn’t expect you to have such an ancient map."
"Your cultivation of the Advanced ditation thod is ’Steel Heart,’ right?"
"Yes, Prince nia." Rein nodded.
Rein wasn’t surprised that nia knew the na of the Advanced ditation thod from the Bixiu chanization School.
"Hmm, I’ve heard that the Advanced ditation thod ’Steel Heart’ from the Bixiu chanization School only goes up to the Fourth Layer. I didn’t expect the subsequent Fifth Layer is here."
"Rein, in principle, I agree for you to go, but not now. This place is too dangerous at the mont." nia shook his head, saying.
Hmm?
Rein didn’t expect nia to agree, but to let him go later.
Seeing Rein’s surprised expression, nia slowly explained:
"I’ve already received Secret Intelligence from Empire’s spies that the ruins are likely those of the Ancient Goblin Empire’s capital, with a high level of exploration risk."
"According to reliable sources, the Federation has already lost several high-grade exploration teams."
"Therefore, I suggest you wait until more intelligence about the ruins is available before considering going."
Rein hadn’t expected nia to have already learned about the ruins.
After so thought, Rein said:
"Prince nia, the subsequent Advanced ditation thod I need is likely on a corpse within the ruins. In other words, the Federation doesn’t need to fully explore the ruins; they might discover it during the process."
"What do you think, if the Federation obtains it, what price would I have to pay to exchange it from them?"
"Well..." nia’s eyes flickered, clearly having thought of sothing.
Indeed! If the Federation gets it and invites Rein to join, most Dawn Wizards probably wouldn’t refuse.
"How do you plan to infiltrate those ruins?"
"I intend to accept Federation Councilor Trena’s invitation to visit Heidelberg Duchy. Zetaya City, where the ruins are, is conveniently located within Heidelberg, and then I’ll find an opportunity to go."
"If everything goes smoothly, I should be able to be there waiting for you before the delegation arrives in Zetaya."
"Rein, it seems you’re quite close with this lady councilor." nia gave Rein a teasing glance, saying.
"Uh..." Hearing these words, Rein wasn’t sure what to say.
"Now that the ruins have been discovered by the Federation, there must be guards around it, making it hard for you to infiltrate." Nevertheless, nia rely comnted before returning to the main topic.
"This is a Transforming Ring. As long as you imagine soone’s appearance in your mind, you can transform into their semblance." nia said as he took off a ring and handed it to Rein.
"Well... Thank you, Prince nia." Rein hesitated for a mont, then accepted the ring.
However, he still felt a bit puzzled, as nia seed overly kind to him.
"When do you plan to depart?"
"With your permission, I intend to depart early tomorrow morning."
"Hmm, stay safe. We will et you in Zetaya." nia nodded, saying.
"Thank you, Prince nia, I will be careful."
....
That night, Trena was sowhat busy.
After visiting Crowns Terrio and Hernandez in succession, she hastily contacted Rein.
Once everything was in place, early the next morning, a streamlined long-range airship carrying Rein and his companions sped southward.
