Chapter 216: Chapter 151: Quite Substantial Spoils of War (Two-in-One Big Chapter)_4
Rein's heart leapt, and he nodded, saying, "Very good, Matteo, you are becoming more meticulous in your work."
After carefully discerning, Rein confirmed that the person was neither Baron Alonzo nor Viscount Hamadi.
Of course, this was assuming that neither of them was using some sort of well-crafted human skin mask.
Rein reminisced in his mind and confirmed that he did not know this person.
But Rein always felt that there was something familiar about the man's appearance, yet he could not pinpoint the source of this familiarity at all.
Less than a minute after Matteo had left, the storeroom where Rein was located again heard a knock at the door.
Rein opened the door and saw Lagaray standing outside.
"Rein, may I come in? I need to discuss something with you."
"Of course, come in."
"Rein, have you now reached the level of a senior knight?" Lagaray looked at Rein with her deep blue eyes, an expectant expression on her face.
"Hmm? Lagaray, why would you ask that?" Rein smiled.
"I heard it from the Night Watchmen; they all say your strength has surpassed that of the peace officer of Flashgold Town, Lord Hamilton."
"Well... Perhaps." Rein nodded without denying it.
"That's wonderful! Rein, may I request something of you? I want to retrieve my brother and his teammates' remains and their weapons from the Nightingale Forest."
"I've been waiting too long..." As Lagaray spoke about it, the light died in her eyes, leaving her face forlorn!
So that was it...
Rein looked thoughtful.
It was not that he was unwilling to go.
Only, if a Crown Knight had easily disposed of Lagaray's brother, a savage warrior with a ferocity level of 40%, clearly, the opponent was very strong.
Although he had killed Adams, a third-level Wizard Apprentice, that did not mean he was confident in handling some of the mysterious events in this world.
"Er... Lagaray, I will now go to Lord Hamilton and ask about the plans of the County Town and the church. Supposedly, the church's people should be arriving soon," Rein thought and said.
"The recent delays, I heard, were due to the monsoon and Sea Goddess Church working in coordination with the official empire to suppress the Cult," Rein added after thinking.
At that moment, his sister, Bo He, suddenly yelled from downstairs, "Brother, someone is looking for you downstairs, and there's a carriage!"
Rein's eyebrows raised; could it be that it was someone from the Crawley family?
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Bo He rushed upstairs, her face flushed and slightly excited, saying, "Brother, the carriage doesn't bear the pattern of roses, it seems like a giant dragon?"
Hmm?
A giant dragon?
Impossible!
This immediately made Rein quite puzzled.
He immediately excused himself to Lagaray and went downstairs.
As soon as he stepped out of the doorway, he saw a luxurious carriage parked next to their house, clearly not in the style of the Crawley family, and the crest on the carriage was completely different.
This time, the carriage had a design with more curves, giving it a more exquisite and noble impression.
Moreover, the crest on the upper right corner of the carriage showed a giant dragon spreading its wings and roaring skyward, lifelike.
Bo He was right!
Rein's pupils shrank!
Clearly, the visitor was a prominent figure.
Because, generally, nobles or institutions simply do not have the right to use a giant dragon as a crest, following the established custom of noble crest design in the Dragan Empire.
Rein had heard about this from Jenny during a carriage conversation a few days ago.
Upon seeing Rein approach,
a middle-aged man dressed in a fitted tailcoat also alighted from the carriage, and said, "Excuse me, is this Lord Rein of Flashgold Town, the deputy peace officer?"
