Chapter 644: Chapter 344: The Master of the Dark Furnace Reduced to a Sparring Partner

After Raine explained the plan, Leonore nodded and said, "I’ve been to the White Dragon Nest in the Lankote Snowfield before, so I can teleport there directly. But, teleporting directly from here is too far a distance. With my Spiritual Power, I’m afraid I need to reach Dorne City first."

"Great. With Her Highness Leonore accompanying us, we don’t have to worry about those White Dragon vassals."

"Yes, previously, once we engaged with the vassals, ’Wing of the Icefield’ Avia Linsagos would know, but now, it would be a surprise attack."

"Right."

...

The meeting ended.

In the corridor, Raine seemed to think of something and called out to Leonore, who was walking ahead alongside Ilgerina.

"Leonore, I have something for you."

"The item is in my room."

The Dwarf Elders, who were chatting loudly, suddenly fell silent and continued walking straight ahead.

Even though they didn’t turn around, Raine noticed that the ears of the Dwarf Elders twitched slightly.

The corridor suddenly became quiet.

Ilgerina winked at Leonore and smiled, "Leonore, let’s chat tomorrow, go ahead now."

Leonore turned back, her deep lake-blue eyes looking at Raine.

Raine noticed that at this moment, the always graceful and elegant Leonore blushed slightly. She gave Raine a mildly reproachful glance before walking over.

Raine also realized that his words just now might easily lead to misunderstandings from others.

After all, inviting a beautiful lady to one’s room at night, even with a legitimate reason, could still lead most people to have wild thoughts.

He initially wanted to explain, but then thought better of it and restrained the thought.

After all, he was already engaged to Leonore.

Let them misunderstand then.

The two walked almost side by side, along the corridor towards the room.

Once the door was closed, Leonore unusually displayed a slightly uneasy look.

"I’ve never given you a gift."

"Take a look, see if you like it."

As Raine spoke, he handed over a box containing the essence of the Legendary Blue Dragon Aisores’ blood to Leonore.

This gesture surprised Leonore a bit; she glanced at the box in her hand but did not refuse it.

"Thank you, Raine, may I open it now?"

"Of course."

Leonore, having initially sensed an Energy Fluctuation inside, thought the box contained a rare piece of Magic Equipment, but as she opened it, she saw a Crystal Bottle filled with a thick liquid inside.

The surface of the Crystal Bottle emitted a faint mist.

Upon closer inspection, tiny starlights could be seen inside.

"Is this... Giant Dragon Blood Essence?" As a High-Tier Transcendent and well-versed scholar, Leonore instantly recognized the origin of the item before her.

However, compared to the actual examples she had seen before, the Energy before her was even more immense and pure.

The tiny starlights represented how highly condensed the Energy was.

"Yes. It’s the blood essence of the Legendary Blue Dragon Aisores. I thought it might help you."

"Thank you. Before this, I only had a forty percent chance of reaching Legendary, but now, it’s about seventy percent."

"Hmm?"

Hearing Leonore’s words, Raine raised an eyebrow.

This implied that Leonore was about to break through?

Leonore reaching Legendary status was undoubtedly great news.

"That’s wonderful, so what are we waiting for? Why not use it now?"

"Okay."

Leonore nodded, gave Raine a gentle smile, then took a step forward and lightly kissed Raine’s cheek, like a butterfly pausing briefly on a petal.

This gesture left Raine momentarily stunned!

Not until Leonore smiled again and turned to leave the room did he come back to his senses.

Raine rubbed his cheek, recalling the warm touch just now.

"Missed an opportunity, I should’ve kissed back."

...

About a quarter of an hour later.

Suddenly!

In the room, Raine clearly felt a powerful and uncontrolled wave of Spiritual Power erupt from the left-side room, like a volcanic eruption.

However, this wave soon gradually calmed down.

"Looks like it was a success."

Just as Raine was pondering whether to go next door to congratulate Leonore, there was a knock on the door.

As the door opened, Leonore stood at the door, smiling.

"Was it a success?"

"Yes, it was a success." Leonore first smiled elegantly, then slightly restrained her smile and said, "Raine, I think you should see this."

"I didn’t realize it earlier while I was advancing."

"Do you remember the monitoring Array you asked me to set up in the Lava Cave before?"

Leonore took out a palm-sized, intricately engraved circular Magic Item. As she softly recited a short spell, the magic item, resembling an Array Plate, emitted a Water Mirror.

What drew Raine’s attention was the scene displayed in the Water Mirror, which was unmistakably the nest of the Ancient Molten Earth Dragon.

At this moment, at the entrance of the nest, a team of fully armed Gray Dwarf elite had appeared, and quite a few were already investigating.

The other party totaled less than twenty people, but they were quite elite.

Especially the Gray Dwarf in the center, wearing a crown, immediately caught Raine’s attention.

This was none other than the Master of the Dark Furnace, Lokar.

Surveying the rest of the team, Raine quickly assessed:

"The Master of the Dark Furnace, Lokar, came in person, and beside him is the High Priest, Du Gahar. There are four Combat Priests in the team, who should be the Gray Dwarf Elders, and the rest are Commander Level Gray Dwarves."
