Because Raine not only saved her, but this time he also saved her father.
Love extends to those connected.
Even if Raine deliberately hides something, in Meredith’s view, it is quite normal, after all, adventurers always need a trump card.
"By the way, where are the others? Where are the Crit Squad members?" Henry looked around again and asked.
"They are already on the griffin, I let them withdraw first."
"Eh, Lord Meredith, you... have you advanced to the Transcendent?" At this moment, Viscount Olsen, who had been silent, suddenly widened his eyes in shock and looked at Meredith beside Raine, exclaiming.
"Transcendent?" Henry also looked at Meredith beside Raine with a similarly astonished expression, scrutinizing her repeatedly.
"Wow! Really entered the Transcendent level!"
"Great! In this case, when the Crit Squad returns, we can be counted as having a combat force comparable to three Extraordinary Strong Persons."
Hearing this, Raine frowned slightly and said, "By the way, Henry, has something happened?"
"Hmm! We’ll talk in the study!" Hearing Raine’s inquiry, Henry immediately became solemn.
"Alright!"
....
Underdark.
"Quickly retreat!"
"Ah!!"
Accompanied by the screams of Imperial Legion soldiers, the newly advanced legendary eye monster Zergelos continued his rampage, even preventing a few Transcendents from the Wing of Blaze from going to the secret paths to investigate.
"Whoosh!!"
A giant fireball, the size of a carriage, directly flew from the rear of the Legion like a flaming meteor towards the Wandering Eye Tyrant Zergelos.
However, seemingly sensing some threat, the eye monster’s massive spherical eye immediately shot out three leg-thick beams of yellow, blue, and green light.
"Boom!!!"
The intense energy clash caused a giant explosion!
"Finally here." Kabataan saw the huge fireball and seemed to immediately know the identity and strength of the coming person, relaxing and exclaiming.
"It’s Lord ’Incinerator’ Layman!"
"Lord Layman is here! Great!"
Several high-ranking officers of the Fourteenth Legion shouted in surprise.
This time, the Empire’s operation was not a solo action by the Fourteenth Legion; they were merely the vanguard, with the Ninth and Tenth Legions behind.
The Urein Empire’s legion numbering sequence also somewhat indicates legion strength, and the single-digit Ninth Legion is significantly stronger than the Fourteenth Legion.
And this ’Incinerator’ Lord Layman is the legion commander of the Ninth Legion and a veteran legendary strong person.
A legendary Evocation Mage, specializing in Flame Spells, his fiery storm is said to incinerate all enemies, hence the name ’Incinerator.’
...
Soladin Kingdom.
In the study on the second floor of Viscount Olsen’s Castle.
"What!"
"Her Highness the Princess Leonore is seriously injured?" Raine abruptly stood up from his chair, exclaiming.
Although he had only met the eldest princess Leonore once, he had a very good impression of her; her demeanor was elegant and poised, and her strength was a rare high-tier Transcendent.
Unexpectedly, such a pillar of the Soladin Kingdom was seriously injured.
"Was it a legendary strong person who took action?"
"No." Henry shook his head and said, "It was two high-tier Transcendents along with two Transcendents who ambushed Aunt."
"One of the high-tier Transcendents is ’Blemished’ Hagen, a former Holy Knight of the Church of Holy Light, and the other high-tier Transcendent is ’Plague Bringer’ White Mann, both very troublesome."
"Under the sudden attack, Aunt also had to pay a considerable price to retreat smoothly."
"Remember the ’Light and Shadow Envoy’ Siegfried who we fought before? The opponent is Plague Bringer White Mann’s close aide."
Hearing this, Raine couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, the Black Fist Army and Talin Association sent people this time whose strength was nearly Quasi-Legendary.
"I know you want to ask about the specific confrontation process, but only Aunt knows that." Henry understood the meaning behind Raine’s gaze, shrugged helplessly.
This level of combat was completely beyond his involvement.
"By the way, you just said Her Highness the Princess is seriously injured, where is she now?"
"Shh, Aunt is in the basement of the castle, with special care, but the injuries..." Henry whispered, but hesitated towards the end.
"As for the poison, Aunt used an Epic Magic Equipment to remove it, but the wounds are too severe, and in the short term, we can’t invite healers of the Extraordinary Level, so..."
After listening to Henry’s description, Raine’s heart moved slightly.
If that’s the case, with the Drow Matron bloodline he just obtained, he might be able to cast the level seven Healing Spell ’Regeneration Technique.’
Just that, his spiritual power hadn’t completely recovered yet, and he needed some time to adjust.
....
The next morning.
With Henry’s company, Raine followed the spiral stairs all the way down to a hidden basement in the castle.
"Raine?"
Leonore was both surprised and confused by Raine’s appearance.
Though she knew her nephew Henry regarded Raine as a close confidant, the fewer people knew about her injury, the better.
Besides, if Raine was here purely to visit amidst the current situation, it would be somewhat redundant.
"Aunt, Raine is here to check your injuries; Raine says he might be able to heal your wounds." Henry said as he walked closer.
Raine came to heal me?
Leonore blinked, growing more puzzled.
Not to mention that Raine was not a healer, even if he were, she knew very well that without an Extraordinary Level healer, it would be impossible to heal her wounds.
Even an Extraordinary Level healer would have to master the level seven ’Regeneration Technique’ to quickly restore her injuries.
Could it be that Raine had allied with Talin Association and was actually here to assassinate her?
Suddenly, Leonore’s eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze towards Raine turned cold.
"No need. I need rest, you all go out."
Hmm?
Leonore’s rejecting attitude and demeanor left Raine stunned!
However, he glanced at Leonore’s slight movement of her right hand, gripping the staff, instantly understanding something, couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Clearly, the other party worried he was plotting against them or trying to take advantage of the situation.
Helping others is indeed an art.
"Aunt, you..." Henry was puzzled, anxious.
...
Meanwhile.
A black-armored army composed of hundreds of people was riding warhorses, rushing from Bornberry towards Dorne City.
Correspondingly, in the sky above, a flying team of more than a dozen griffins was speeding towards the same direction.
On three nearly parallel griffins.
"Lady Lilith, is that young man named Raine you mentioned really that strong?" ’Nightmare Blade’ Jorachy exchanged glances with his priest companion Aishir, both somewhat incredulous.
After all, the information about this Raine was obtained from their teammate ’Shield of Neverwinter’ Olaf much earlier.
In Olaf’s description, although the opponent was exceptionally gifted and formidable, he was by no means unbeatable.
But listening to Lilith’s account, the opponent’s strength seemed to surpass mid-tier Transcendent, as if she described two different people; how could that be possible?
A person’s strength cannot improve so quickly!
"Really, Lord Jorachy, I can guarantee this, I was on the scene at the time."
Regarding Jorachy, an veteran mid-tier Transcendent, Lilith remained respectful but was anxious upon hearing his questioning of her judgment, immediately affirming.
"If that’s the case, Captain, we don’t need to choose a strong offense; if the Eldest Princess of Soladin Kingdom is indeed in Dorne City, plus the situation about Raine Lady Lilith described, we might not just fail to gain the upper hand but instead suffer losses."
Black Hand Priest Aishir contemplated and suggested. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Maybe we should send someone to infiltrate and assess the situation first?"
Hearing the same suggestion from his teammates, Jorachy prolonged his gaze with narrowed eyes, pondering for a moment before nodding, "Since you all think so, after arriving at Dorne City, I will personally check the situation."
Hearing Jorachy’s decision to go himself, Lilith was immediately delighted!
Even though Jorachy and Aishir were accompanying this time, she still had considerable doubts about whether they could deal with Raine; if not for White Mann giving her a fixed teleportation array, she wouldn’t have come.
