Chapter 586: Chapter 247 Assigning Tasks (Two-in-One Large Chapter)_3
After all, dals and rit Points could always be earned in future missions.
But once family is gone, it’s truly gone!
However, the problem was that without finishing his provisional appointnt, he couldn’t be promoted to the Silver level and thus couldn’t qualify to take on this ist-related mission.
According to Reine’s earlier plan,
he intended to first elevate his authority to the Silver level, and then logically proceed to apply to the Sword Bearers Branch, participating in frontline special operations.
But now…
Suddenly, shortly after Reine returned to his room, there was a knock at the door.
Reine opened the door and saw a guard standing at the entrance, who respectfully said,
“Lord Reine, soone has co to visit.”
“It is a noble, with a pass from the Sword Bearers Branch. Currently, they are waiting for you in the Branch’s administrative building’s small reception room.”
“Hmm?” Reine frowned.
Typical barons and viscounts wouldn’t normally have access to the Sword Bearers Branch’s pass.
Soone on the level of Count Habbs, on the other hand, would have the credentials to enter.
But at this critical mont, it was highly unlikely that the person would leave ist, especially since such a significant event had occurred.
Who could it be?
With this question in mind, Reine proceeded to the small reception room in the administrative building.
There he saw a middle-aged man with a beard, dressed in black hunting attire with golden trim, sitting solemnly on the right side of the room. A steaming cup of Jyton Red Tea sat untouched beside him, clearly burdened with heavy thoughts.
“Ambassador!” Reine was taken aback and exclaid.
Upon seeing Reine’s arrival, Javier managed a strained smile.
“Baron Reine, we et again.”
“Lord, good to see you, it’s been a while.” Reine bowed slightly as a gesture of respect.
He of course rembered the lord; before taking part in the nobility’s ennoblent examination, he had t this man nad Javier Stewart, the ambassador, in his carriage.
At that ti, he had not yet passed the ennoblent exam, but Javier’s approachable deanor had made a deep impression on Reine.
Latterly, Reine had made so inquiries and found that this individual was a significant figure on the Mingster ennoblent examination committee and reportedly also dispatched from the Imperial City to Mingster Province.
No wonder he could easily co into the Mingster Sword Bearers Branch.
“Please take a seat, Baron Reine.”
“Baron Reine, due to the urgency, I’ll co straight to the point. I’d like to ask you to undertake a rescue mission,” Javier said.
“A mission?” Reine exclaid in surprise, and then raised his head in astonishnt, looking at Javier.
He wondered why this esteed ambassador would seek him out?
Seeing the confusion on Reine’s face, Javier explained, “You might be wondering why I, as a senior noble, would not employ my family knights?”
“It’s simple. I am not from Mingster Province. The two family knights who originally ca with from the Imperial City to Mingster are now missing along with my youngest daughter Alyosha near Fishing Port Town.”
“There’s no ti now to contact my family in the Imperial City.”
“As for why not engage other Sword Bearers?”
“Under the ergency mobilization order, all Sword Bearers have already been assigned tasks, except for your batch of recruits.” Javier paused.
Hearing this, Reine began to understand why Javier had approached him.
It was simple.
Under the two constraints ntioned, being the strongest among the new Sword Bearers, he was probably the best choice Javier could find.
There might be others as powerful, but to be reliable at the sa ti was rare.
Furthermore, before approaching him, Javier likely reviewed his resu.
Having served as a Governor and Sheriff in Fishing Port Town, Reine was familiar with the local situation, which was crucial in searching for people.
All these conditions led Javier to approach him.
However… Reine currently was not without his own assignnts.
And that was…
“Ambassador, I…” Just as Reine was about to speak, Javier gestured for him to pause.
“Baron Reine, please let finish stating my conditions before you decide, if that’s alright?”
“Of course, please continue.” Reine nodded.
He was indeed curious about what Javier was about to say next.
As he, like other new Sword Bearers, was tasked with the duty of law and order vigilance across the Mingster districts.
Could Javier coordinate that for him?
If so, then Reine needed to reconsider the influence of this ambassador.
“Baron Reine, I know that your parents and sister are still in ist County City and have not yet relocated to Mingster with you.”
“If you agree to undertake the mission to rescue my daughter Alyosha, I shall arrange for a cavalry unit from my family to help you move them imdiately.”
“Currently, the hiring costs for rcenaries in all of Mingster have skyrocketed, but reliability is a significant issue, and it’s hard to discern whether there might be cultists among them.”
Hmm?
Reine’s eyes slightly lit up.
Indeed, Lord Javier was anything but simple, proposing to persuade him from this angle.
“Moreover, if Baron Reine you agree, this rescue will be assigned as a designated task for you to complete by the Sword Bearers Branch,” Javier continued.
“The fixed reward for completing the task includes two Silver dals and 1500 rit Points, the highest reward the Branch can agree to at my request.”
Hearing this, Reine knew that he had been persuaded by Javier standing before him.
