"Tessa, let’s accompany Mr. Rein to the second floor of the Association first," Benest turned and said.
"Of course, it’s a bit early for dinner. Benest, let’s accompany Mr. Rein upstairs together," Tessa smiled imdiately and said.
"Who is this..." Rein looked at Benest and inquired.
Although there was so guess about the identity of this beautiful lady in his heart, he indeed did not know the others.
Furthermore...
This Colonel Tessa seed to be very warm towards him.
"This is Colonel Tessa, and these are Captain Weston the Knight and Priest Olist. I’ll explain in detail later," Benest introduced with a smile.
Tessa enthusiastically reached out her hand, saying, "Mr. Rein, it’s a pleasure to et you. I’m Tessa."
"Hello, Colonel Tessa." Feeling the warmth and softness of her hand, Rein looked at the beautiful Tessa in front of him, increasingly surprised.
It wasn’t an illusion.
The other party was truly enthusiastic towards him.
Imdiately, Captain Weston the Knight and Priest Olist also stepped forward warmly to shake hands.
This made Rein even more surprised.
Why are these three so enthusiastic?
Only Elise on the side watched this scene, rolling her eyes, complaining inwardly—
’Where’s your integrity?’
’Where’s that arrogant look from before?’
’Why did they beco so courteous once Mr. Rein reclaid the Forbidden Magic Helt?’
Of course, Elise, who grew up in a wealthy rchant family, naturally understood the reason.
Nevertheless, understanding is one thing, and disdain is another.
After a mont of pleasantries,
The group once again grandly returned to the second floor of the Adventurer’s Association.
....
"Liya, please help appraise these two swords, and also these shoes and cloak."
Rein said, placing the spoils one by one on the counter, while handing over his identity plate.
"Deduct the necessary gold coins and points from here."
"Alright, Mr. Rein!"
"So much magic equipnt? Mr. Rein seems to have struck rich!" Liya, long used to Rein’s abundant harvests, smiled warmly and said.
"Floating Boots!"
Seeing Rein place those uniquely shaped boots on the table, Captain Weston the Knight imdiately exclaid.
"Oh? Mr. Weston, do you recognize these boots?" Rein couldn’t help looking at Mr. Weston, his eyes glinting.
He did not expect to so quickly encounter soone who could recognize these boots.
"Yes, these Floating Boots are rare, magical equipnt that enhances invisibility effects on a rare level."
"A few months ago, they appeared at an auction in Bornberry and were reportedly bought by an advanced adventurer squad active near Winterless City."
Winterless City, as a large city in Sword Bay, is about half a month’s journey west of Bornberry.
"I happened to attend that auction, following the Marquis, so I have an impression of the auction items."
Rein nodded.
So that’s how it is, it seems the adventurer squad made very long-term and careful preparations to steal the Emperor’s Dual Hamrs of the Replier, but eventually....
"Mr. Rein, how did you...." Weston hesitated, but couldn’t resist asking.
After all, his curiosity was overwhelming.
"Haha, we happened to pick it up while retreating," Rein glanced at Sulfur Vine and chuckled.
Hearing Rein’s words, Sulfur Vine and Laisa couldn’t help but smile.
Actually, Rein also didn’t know how to explain.
He didn’t want trouble, naturally avoiding saying it was obtained by killing soone.
If that adventurer squad had any friends, learning this news and coming to cause trouble, it wouldn’t be anything else but a nuisance.
"Picked up?"
Captain Weston the Knight and Tessa exchanged a glance, displaying a look that said ’I don’t believe you.’
Especially Captain Weston, whose eyes wandered back and forth between the uniquely styled silver swords and grey iron swords on the counter, seemingly recalling sothing.
Soon after.
His shocked expression intensified.
