Chapter 902: Chapter 326 King of Thousand Blades (Two-in-One Major Chapter)_3

“Don’t tell me it’s through that good friend of yours, Rein, because from what I know about the Dragan Empire’s administrative system, a small town Deputy Chief of Security would surely not have access to such information.”

Delana emphasized the words ‘good friend’ as she looked at Anna with a serious expression and spoke.

“It’s not like that, Aunt Delana! Rein is no longer a small town Deputy Chief of Security, he is now a Viscount!”

At the mention of Rein’s name, Anna’s face involuntarily tinged with a slight blush, but she quickly realized something and hurriedly waved her small hands to correct her aunt’s ‘mistake.’

“Hmm? Viscount?” Delana paused at this but immediately remained a hundred percent skeptical.

The elves’ long lifespans and relatively well-preserved archives mean that most elves have a fair understanding of the human empire’s structure.

“How is that possible? Half a year ago, he wasn’t even a Baron. How could he become a Viscount? Anna, you should be careful; human males are very adept at using sweet words and flowery speech.”

…

Upon hearing this, Rein couldn’t hold back any longer.

Moreover, he also understood the reasoning behind the other party’s visit this time. Although it was out of concern for Anna, it still wasn’t a good reason to ‘slander’ him, right?

“Ahem…”

“Who’s over there?” Delana immediately said cautiously, her beautiful eyes quite sharp.

“Ah, Rein! You…”

“I saw you running out in the middle of the night and was worried about your safety, so….” Rein slowly emerged from the woodland with a smile.

“You are Rein?” Delana’s guarded gaze relaxed a little, but the confusion in her eyes increased a lot more!

The Rein in her memory was clearly a thin and short boy, but now, standing in front of her was a tall and strong young man, clad in Secret Silver Armor, looking unusually imposing.

His eyes were particularly bright, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

“Yes, Ms. Delana, we met once before, by the carriage. Do you remember?” Rein stepped forward two paces and slightly bowed to Delana.

Rein naturally respected this aunt who cared for Anna.

Hearing Rein mention the details of their previous meeting, Delana couldn’t help but nod, starting to believe that the person before her, who seemed to have changed bodies, was indeed Rein.

“Uh… you’ve changed a lot!”

“I’m starting to believe what Anna said. Your strength is more than enough to be a Viscount of the Empire.” Delana sized up Rein repeatedly with her beautiful eyes and spoke.

Rein naturally understood that she wasn’t fancying him but was evaluating his power.

“Rein, are you truly willing to help Anna find her mother?” Delana pondered for a while before looking seriously at Rein with her beautiful eyes and asked.

“Of course.”

“Without expecting any return?”

“No need.”

“According to your humans’ sayings, expecting no return often means desiring more, or even all of it.” Delana shook her head and sighed.

“This…” Rein was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected Anna’s Aunt Delana to suddenly bring up such a ‘philosophical’ statement.

“Aunt Delana, Rein is a good person…” Anna quietly said from the side.

“Alright, Rein, how do you plan to help Anna? Go to the Imperial City together to search? Excuse my bluntness, but even with your considerable abilities, it would still be difficult to achieve your goals in the Imperial City.”

“Uh… Ms. Delana, actually, I am a shareholder of the Mingster Axon Auction House branch, so I will first utilize the auction house’s internal channels to search for the whereabouts of Anna’s mother.”

Rein thought for a while and spoke truthfully.

“Hmm?”

“You’re a shareholder of the Axon Auction House Mingster branch?” This really surprised Delana.

For a moment, Delana didn’t know what to say!

Indeed, if this was true, then Rein was the best person to find her departed sister.

After a while, Delana, having absorbed this news, finally spoke:

“Rein, I’ll go with you to Mingster to see if what you say is true. If it is, I can agree to let Anna stay and, with your help, search for Daryn.”

“By the way, Daryn Yueling is my sister and also Anna’s mother’s name.”

“Of course, actually, I plan to return to Mingster tomorrow, but Ms. Delana, you might need to disguise yourself slightly.”

“After all, the beauty of an elf attracts a lot of covetous eyes.”

“That’s best, rest assured, I won’t bring any trouble to you.” Delana nodded.

As soon as she finished speaking, Delana quickly cast a spell.

Under the moonlight, a cluster of twinkling lights passed over her face, and her originally perfect visage began to transform slightly, becoming more rounded, while her complexion turned a bit duller.

Moreover, her pointed ears seemed no different from a human’s, although her noble aura remained prominently distinguished.

In totality, Delana at this moment resembled a dignified and elegantly poised lady.

As the group of three—Rein, Anna, and Delana—returned to the Earl Habs Mansion, as soon as they stepped into the hall, Neoro, Angus, Evelyn, and a few others, who were chatting leisurely, turned their heads to look over.

Seeing their captain disappear without notice and then unexpectedly return with a new, unfamiliar, dignified lady, the group couldn’t help but exchange puzzled glances.

“Uh….. this is my Aunt Delana, who will be returning with us to Mingster.”
