Chapter 1120: Chapter 384: Collision (Part 2)

”Hehe, Lord Darren, we are naturally aware that we cannot win this lawsuit, but we merely need the court summons as part of the official procedure.”

”According to the regulations, with a court summons, everyone must cooperate and be present to explain the situation.”

”At this moment, if Rein does not cooperate, Lord Harold and everyone else will have a rightful reason to take action.” At this point, Duke Drum showed a hint of pride.

”I see.” Darren glanced at Duke Drum, nodded, and silently thought to himself, ’Old fox.’

These veteran nobles are indeed all shrewd. Even if they themselves are not familiar, there are always people in the family who know the myriad rules and regulations of the Empire, and they can find such a breakthrough.

”However, these actions need to wait until the Sword Holder Headquarters issues an official ruling. It’s expected to be two to three days, and once the ruling is out, we will arrange a negotiation with Rein somewhere outside the Imperial City.”

”And during the negotiation, the court’s summons personnel will arrive on the scene, at which time Rein will resist cooperation.”

”What if the other party cooperates voluntarily?” Caroline asked with curiosity.

”Hehe, most of the court enforcement officers going for the summons are our people. Even if the other party cooperates, it will still be turned into non-cooperation at that time.” Duke Drum chuckled and said.

Although the two present are both Second Level Liquidization Wizards, in his eyes, in terms of political maneuvering, they are as pure as the white Ice Cover Grass on the Ice Field.

”Alright, since the Duke already has a comprehensive plan, we’ll wait for the notice.” Harold stood up and said.

”Thank you, Lord Harold! By the way, regarding the Mountain Heart, my subordinates have already found some clues. After this incident, it should be resolved.” As Duke Drum stood up to see him off, he inadvertently mentioned.

And Harold glanced at Duke Drum and said, ”Then I’ll trouble the Duke to take care of it.”

Where does he not know that the Drum Family has one Mountain Heart in their collection; it’s just that before the matter is resolved, any news about the Mountain Heart from Drum will always be at the level of having certain clues.

But it’s alright; at least the other side has agreed.

Once I kill this Rein, the Mountain Heart will be delivered.

Harold was already at the stage of breaking through to a Fourth Level Dawn Wizard, needing a large amount of rare resources to assist the breakthrough.

Some things are extremely difficult to find; even if he wants to collect them all, it would take a lot of time and energy. With the help of the Empire’s great nobles, collecting many things would be much more efficient.

Especially with the current Duke Drum, Harold knows that the other party is one of the shareholders of the Empire’s largest auction house - Axon Auction House, and in several provincial branches, even a controlling shareholder.

This provides a natural convenience in resource collection.

And through a secret channel, he knows that the Drum Family has one Mountain Heart in their collection that he urgently needs.

The Mountain Heart is an extremely rare and precious Earth Element artifact, which only forms in the bodies of deceased mountain giants, and such epic-level battle power super-sized creatures have not appeared within the Empire Territory for at least several hundred years.

Apart from the fact that the mountain giant’s battle power far exceeds what he can contend with, even if they did appear, they would be killed by the Empire’s epic-level Guardian battle power, leaving no chance for him.

Thus, for now, he still needs to feign civility with these veteran nobles.

However, once he breaks through to a Fourth Level Dawn Wizard, he won’t have to bother with these trivial matters.

...

Meanwhile.

At the Bavarian Mansion.

Rein also returned from his deep contemplation in the room.

The restriction on his side would end in about three days, Rein thought for a moment, then returned to the exchange area at the school premises.

A girl at the counter, seemingly with halfling or gnome blood, greeted him. Her height was only about 1.2 meters, but her figure was well-proportioned and harmonious, not at all deformed.

”Hello, can you help me check which Metal Series Witchcraft I can exchange for?” Rein asked.

As he spoke, Rein handed over an object similar to a memory crystal, his School Identity Certificate, to her.

”Okay, Lord Rein, according to your permissions, you can check and exchange all Second Level and below witchcraft in the school.” The gnome girl took Rein’s Crystal Token, put it into a slot, and soon said enthusiastically.

”Oh? Then how about checking for Third Level witchcraft?” Rein raised an eyebrow and asked.

He was naturally prepared for this situation beforehand, just like the Sword Holder Headquarters, where different permissions meant different levels of exchangeable items.

”If you wish to view Third Level witchcraft, according to the school’s regulations, you need a historical contribution exceeding ten thousand points.”

”Historical contribution points?”

”Yes, that means the total contribution you have made to the school exceeds ten thousand points, including those you have previously used.”

”Simply put, adding up your historical contribution points and your current contribution points needs to total over ten thousand points.” The gnome girl explained.

”Understood.” Rein nodded and said.

”By the way, Lord Rein, there are four kinds of Metal Series Witchcraft below Second Level you are looking for.”

”I have already displayed them on the Wisdom Tablet for you to view.”

Rein raised his eyebrows with evident surprise, but after looking through them, most of his joy dissipated.
