Raine looked in the direction indicated by the other person.
It was a device slightly larger than a rice cooker from his previous life, with a transparent middle and a hexagonal fra structure on the top and bottom.
"So, if I want to purchase a scroll that the branch doesn’t have, I have to pay a transmission fee?"
"Yes, Mr. Rein."
"By the way, if there are only two types of Third Level Spell Scrolls, then the branch probably doesn’t have any Fourth Level Spells, right?"
"I’d like to inquire about the price of the Fourth Level Spell ’Any Door’."
...
Southwest of Dorne City.
In the study on the second floor of a luxurious mansion.
Lilith, wearing a red Mage Robe, was looking with surprise at the female assassin who had co to report.
"Hmm? You said the gray dwarf leader Thorne of the Dark Furnace Clan is dead?"
"And he died on Aiel’s territory?"
"Yes, I heard Lord Aiel was furious!" the female assassin said with a slight bow.
Since the death of Zoel at the hands of Raine, this female assassin nad Jora had stepped up.
"Hehe~ how interesting."
Lilith imdiately burst into laughter, shaking with amusent.
Aiel’s blunder naturally made her happy.
Because of this, once Lord Siegfried was gone, she was very likely to take over as the responsible party.
"By the way, who did it? Is it those nosy Harpers?"
Harpers was a secret organization on the Valzeg Continent, formally known as the Harpers Alliance, and was the arch-enemy of her organization, the Talin Association. The two had been at odds for decades with no resolution.
"No, according to what our people heard from the kobold priest Withered Beard, Thorne was killed by an adventurer nad Raine," the female assassin reported with a slight bow.
"An adventurer nad Raine?" Lilith’s eyes widened in surprise.
"Tell the details."
Lilith’s expression turned sowhat serious.
The day before yesterday, the shapeshifter ’Viss’ from Baron Olsen’s Castle sent so ssages. Baron Olsen also had a daughter who seed to be of a Special Class as a ’Phantom Shooter’ and furthermore, she discovered the secret of the Baron’s replacent.
At first, she didn’t pay much attention.
After all, a baron’s daughter who had just stepped into the threshold of Classes, even if a Special Class, couldn’t stir up much trouble, not to ntion the task organized in Dorne City had already been completed.
The situation was settled.
But later, when ’Viss’ sent over the person’s appearance and na, she realized it was the sa female adventurer Reya that Aiel had previously asked her to help deal with.
And now, her other companion Raine not only killed Zoel but this ti also killed the gray dwarf leader Thorne from the Dark Furnace Clan.
This made her have to doubt the identity of these two people.
"Yes! Lady Lilith, uh... the current information we have is this..."
"Most of the Gray Dwarves froze to death? And Thorne was burned to death?" Lilith looked at her subordinate in surprise, asking again.
Because this did not conform to common sense.
Generally speaking, most mages at a Low Tier would first specialize in a specific series of spells to quickly form combat power. Only when their Classes Level was higher would they consider learning spells from other series.
Moreover, Fire Spell and Ice Spell both belong to the large category of Evocation spells, and it’s rare to see soone dual-specializing. Typically, they would choose to use their limited spell slots for spells from other series.
"Um... yes, Withered Beard said that it went with Lord Aiel to check the site, so there’s likely no error here."
The female assassin had also harbored doubts when she first received this information, but facts were facts.
In fact, if no one was at the scene, it would have been hard to guess that Raine had reflected Thorne’s Third Level Spell ’Fireball Technique’ back at him, which led to the injuries on the body manifesting as they did.
"What action is Aiel taking?"
"Master Aiel is using the organization’s internal channels to place a high bounty on their whereabouts, seemingly intending to take action personally."
"Continue to follow up and investigate what happens next."
"Yes, Lady Lilith."
Once the female assassin bowed and left, only Lilith remained in the study.
She rarely appeared to be deep in thought:
’Could it be that these two have forces supporting them from behind?’
’Otherwise, how could they suddenly leap from ordinary low-level adventurers to beco Classes holders?’
’Moreover, even if they beca Classes holders, it would be nearly impossible to defeat a Level 6 Gray Dwarf leader from the Dark Furnace Clan...’
’If supported by behind-the-scenes powers, then these points make sense.’
If this was the case, she wouldn’t want to act personally.
Lilith extended her fair hand, poured herself a glass of red wine, and took a small sip.
’Just perfect, that idiot Aiel can be the first to try and see who’s backing them.’
’Wait! If that’s the case, this baron’s daughter is likely to call her companion Raine to rescue her imprisoned father...’
Having thought of this, a complete plan quickly ford in Lilith’s mind, and she slightly smirked, drawing a fist-sized crystal prism from her chest.
As the words of the spell fell, the crystal vibrated slightly, emitting a deep male voice:
"Good evening, Lady Lilith."
Since Viss did not belong to the Siegfried faction within the Talin Association, he didn’t need to humbly address the more powerful Lilith as ’master.’
At this mont, if Reya were present, she would recognize that the voice being mimicked was still her father’s.
