Chapter 670 - 355: Black Fist Army Commander Omar

"Mr. Raine, Great Druid Irabien, I am too severely injured to accompany all of you for the time being." At this moment, Duke Fortagen slightly bowed with an apologetic expression.

Raine nodded, naturally unbothered.

In fact, even if Duke Fortagen were not injured, he would still need to stay behind to stabilize the chaos in the Royal Palace and Makas City after the war.

However, Raine always felt as if he had overlooked something.

It was also at this moment that suddenly the Communication Crystal Stone at his waist began to vibrate.

"Lord Raine, what should I do next?" Lilith's weak voice came from the other end of the Communication Crystal Stone.

The voice carried a hint of unease.

Suddenly!

Only then did Raine remember that he had just forgotten Lilith's subsequent arrangements.

Since Talin Association President Osber was already dead, naturally, Lilith could return immediately.

After all, with both Osber and Marson dead, the situation was much more severe than before. If Lilith were to return, she feared she would face torture or even immediate execution.

Moreover, even if the Talin Association elected a new president afterward, it would take time.

For a considerable period, the Talin Association, plunged into chaos, would not be a concern.

"You can come back directly, I'll wait for you at the Royal Palace."

"Okay, Lord Raine."

Lilith's joyous voice came from the other end of the Communication Crystal Stone.

It wasn't long.

The beautiful Lilith appeared before everyone's eyes.

And Lilith's appearance made Duke Fortagen show a sudden realization; so there was an insider transmitting messages, no wonder Raine and his party had arrived so quickly.

After all, President Osber of the Talin Association had just sealed the entire Royal Palace, and the Transcendent Casters had tried many times but couldn't send out any signals.

"Lilith, you've worked hard. This is for you." Raine smiled at Lilith and, at the same time, took out the artifact Magic Robe 'Cursed Summoner's Robe,' previously belonging to Osber, from the newly acquired Shadow Dragon Bag and handed it over.

As his currently only subordinate who signed a loyalty contract, she had done a good job, and there was no reason not to reward her.

"Ah? Isn't this the Cursed Summoner's Robe?" Lilith's beautiful eyes widened in amazement at Raine.

Just now, Raine letting her return had already sent a warm rush through Lilith's heart, but now being rewarded with such a precious piece of loot as well.

It's worth noting that this is a Divine Artifact!

The dream attire of many a Mage on Valzeg Continent.

"Smooch~"

Filled with surprise and joy, Lilith eagerly stepped forward and gave Raine a sudden kiss on the cheek with her vivid red lips.

"Thank you, Lord Raine! I love it so much."

Witnessing this scene, Ilgerina gave a teasing glance at her friend Leonore.

However, Leonore still maintained her smile, poised and dignified, seemingly not jealous of Lilith's act of kissing Raine just now.

Raine didn't expect Lilith to be so excited, but the feeling of being kissed by a beauty was quite pleasant, especially since Lilith's figure matched her beauty.

He had just felt her vitality and warmth.

However...

Raine glanced at Leonore, feeling slightly guilty.

"Since Lilith has also returned, Raine, shall we set off?" Leonore smiled.

"Just a moment, Lady Leonore, I propose to increase your country's seat in the Northern Continent Kingdom Alliance from one to three." Duke Fortagen stepped forward and continued, "Furthermore, I suggest abolishing the rotating chairmanship system. In the current situation, we need a strong leader more than ever."

As he finished speaking, Duke Fortagen's gaze fell on Raine.

"Seats?" Raine looked at Leonore, somewhat puzzled.

"The Northern Continent Kingdom Alliance discusses matters using a parliamentary system. Each country automatically gets a seat if they possess Legendary combat power; if not, they only have the right to propose but not to vote...." Leonore briefly explained the situation.

Raine nodded and said to Leonore, "You can decide on this matter."

For Raine, he did not want to expend too much energy on this aspect.

Besides, if Leonore wielded power, it wouldn't be much different from him doing it.

"Duke Fortagen, I have no objection to increasing the seats. However, as for abolishing the rotating chairmanship system, I will need to consider it further." After thinking for a moment, Leonore made her decision.

"Of course. By the way, Mr. Raine, are you really going to the Elf Forest immediately? King Haral has arranged a royal banquet to entertain you and the others."

Then, Duke Fortagen pointed to the distant, still somewhat frightened and pale-faced senior figure of the Kingdom.

The person was none other than King Haral V of the Fadir Wetland Kingdom.

Everyone's attention immediately turned to Raine.

Raine shook his head and said, "Thank you, but it's unnecessary. Duke, please convey my apologies to King Haral."

....

Meanwhile.

To the northeast of Winterless City, the Rocky Mountains stretch from north to south along one side.

On a hill near the direction of Winterless City lies an ancient, giant-stone-built temple.

The massive stone temple stands half-collapsed at an angle, alone on the hill, surrounded by broken fragments of stone. It seems that due to its ancient age, the broken stone fragments, damaged pillars, and collapsed temple roof are all covered in green moss and climbing plants like ivy.

Apart from the occasional squirrel and mountain rabbit darting through, there appears to be no sign of human presence.
