Chapter 505: Chapter 227: Job Change! [Pharmacist] (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2

A smile couldn’t help but spread across Rein’s lips at the thought of last night.

As the dawn gradually shone through the window into the bedroom on the second floor, the beautiful woman’s long eyelashes quivered slightly as she naturally awoke.

Jennifer looked at Rein with a deep and shy gaze, saying, “Dear, why do I feel more and more overwhelmed by you?”

“Have you grown stronger again?”

In the face of the beautiful woman’s praise, Rein immediately wrapped her in his arms, his fingers gently stroking her fair and smooth skin.

“This trip to Fishing Port Town has been quite fruitful. I have officially stepped into the rank of a Great Knight.”

Hmm?

Jennifer froze, her beautiful eyes widening dramatically as she blinked her long eyelashes at Rein, thinking, ‘I was asking about how you’ve become stronger in that way, and this is what you tell me… wait!’

“Dear, you… you’re only sixteen and you’re already a Great Knight?” Jennifer’s first words after regaining her composure were ones of utter astonishment.

My goodness!

Had she found herself a ‘Star of Tomorrow’?

She had thought that Rein would likely be a rising star within Meist County, but she later discovered he was actually the brightest and biggest of Meist County’s stars!

But now it seemed that she still underestimated him…

She might have found a ‘Star of Tomorrow’ at the level of the entire Mingster Province!

Rein nodded and smiled, “Yes, but within the whole empire, there are Great Knights who are sixteen. They are just rare.”

“But in Meist County, that’s absolutely unique!” Jennifer looked at Rein with admiring eyes, speaking without hesitation.

Seemingly recalling something, Jennifer continued, “Right, dear, after you left for Fishing Port Town, I’ve been continuously collecting rare ores. Recently, through various channels, I’ve gathered quite a few ore raw stones and metal ingots.”

“Magic steel ingots, star iron ores, water membrane steel ingots, blood patterned steels, etc., I’ve managed to collect some of each. They are currently stored in the blacksmith’s warehouse, where I have arranged for someone to be responsible for their safekeeping,” she said, recounting like a treasure trove.

Listening to her, Rein couldn’t help but be moved; this was indeed a true helpmate…

Some of the rare ores were exactly what he was going to need soon. Good!

Seeing the appreciative look in Rein’s eyes, the beautiful woman couldn’t help but feel encouraged. Just as she was about to say more, her pretty lips were soon silenced…

For the capable beautiful woman, it was natural for Rein to reward her well once again…

Of course, Rein always understood that the pleasures between men and women were a respite from tedious cultivation, but one must never indulge in them.

Otherwise, as the saying goes from his previous life — ‘the land of tenderness becomes a hero’s grave.’

After breakfast, Rein boarded his luxurious carriage and headed to the blacksmith’s shop.

Meanwhile.

In the study room of Baron Alonso in Meist County City.

Lamar, dressed in a black robe with a hood covering his head, sat opposite Alonso, and without beating around the bush, he said:

“Baron Alonso, I have been entrusted by the high priest to request that you invite Rein at an opportune time to attend the banquet held on the second Sunday of this month at Baron Elliot’s residence.”

“Baron Elliot’s residence, isn’t that where the high priest…” Alonso said, puzzled.

Lamar nodded, confirming Alonso’s suspicion, and continued:

“However, Baron, I think the first issue we need to address is that Rein is currently serving as the Governor of Fishing Port Town. So, do you see a way to have him return to Meist County City first?”

After a pause, Lamar continued:

“I had heard that he was closely related to the Crowley family. Thus, on my way here, I was thinking if we could start with the industries of the Crowley family to force them to seek Rein’s help?”

Lamar said this while observing the expression of Alonso across from him.

Soon, he noticed that as his narrative went on, Alonso’s expression became a bit odd.

This made Lamar involuntarily stop his story.

Baron Alonso, on the other hand, exchanged glances with his butler Michel and then looked back at Lamar.

This made Lamar even more puzzled, thinking, ‘Could my information be inaccurate?’

He looked at Baron Alonso with an inquiring gaze.

Alonso didn’t keep him in suspense and coughed before speaking, “Lamar, are you unaware? The Rein you speak of returned to the County Town yesterday.”

“What?” Lamar’s eyes suddenly widened, clearly astonished.

But soon, Lamar thought of something and a look of both shock and joy appeared on his face, joy being the more predominant emotion.

He had not expected things to go so smoothly.

As if there was no animosity between their Black Flame Church and Rein, but rather an alliance, with cooperation that was quite harmonious.

“Baron, doesn’t that mean that our plan has already succeeded by half before we even put it into action? Next, we just need to find a way to invite him to the banquet, and we can complete the plan set by the high priest,” Lamar said.

However, Alonso did not agree off the bat but furrowed his brow, tapping the armrest of his chair with two fingers and seriously contemplating.

After a long moment, Alonso finally spoke softly, “Lamar, does the high priest have confidence in resolving the Rein issue at the prayer ceremony?”

“Don’t forget, Baron Norman had already successfully entered the Great Knight rank, yet he was still defeated in open combat by this Rein. Therefore, I believe you should at least assess Rein’s strength by the standards of an official Great Knight, or even those of a veteran Great Knight.”
