Chapter 1569: Chapter 541: Darien Yueling

Early the next morning.

Rein had just gotten up when he saw that Olena had already arrived at the mansion early.

“Lord Rein, you’ve been appointed as the Imperial Guardian!” Before Rein could even inquire, Olena sprinted over with her long strides, excitedly.

“I had thought you might be affected by your bloodline…” Halfway through her sentence, realizing it was inappropriate to continue, Olena quickly shut her mouth.

Rein, who had already received the news from Menia, was naturally much calmer.

Rein simply smiled and said, “The news came faster than I expected.”

“You knew already?” Olena was still very excited as she spoke.

“Just a little earlier than you, Olena. Care to join me for breakfast?”

“Thank you, Lord Rein, I’ve already eaten. By the way, do you know the privileges of being an Imperial Guardian?” Olena smiled as she spoke.

“Well… I haven’t really looked into the details yet,” Rein said while eating breakfast.

“You’ll be gifted an Inner Ring Mansion, and additionally, you’ll be conferred with the title of Duke… Of course, these living conditions and privileges might not concern you much, Lord Rein.”

“What might interest you are the next two items.”

“The first is that you can directly engage in a mutual selection with a Giant Dragon, though you need to apply in advance and should get a response within three days.”

“Oh? I thought we had to wait until September?” Rein raised his eyebrow, seemingly surprised.

“Not at all necessary, Lord Rein.”

“Then please schedule it for me.”

“Certainly, Lord Rein.”

“Additionally, you have the privilege to select an item from the Empire’s treasury as a reward, such as a witchcraft, potion, or witch artifact that interests you.”

“Oh? That’s good news. Can I go now?” Rein put down his knife and fork, wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and spoke.

Rein was very interested in knowing if there were any suitable high-rank spiritual power-enhancing potions available in the Empire.

Logically, a potion like the Ancient Dragon Soul Potion should exist at the Empire level, and certainly more than one.

If he could obtain it, his Advanced Meditation Method Fifth Layer should progress to some extent.

Moreover, if there were other precious potions, he’d have a clear goal for his next phase.

“Now? Give me a moment, and I’ll apply for you right away.”

“No rush,” Rein said with a slight smile.

Soon, Olena came back running again and said, “Lord Rein, I’ve reserved it for you; we can head to the Empire’s treasury now.”

“Thank you, Olena.”

“It’s my honor to serve you.” Olena flicked her hair, slightly bowed, and spoke.

As soon as they sat down inside the carriage, Rein’s expression subtly changed, for he sensed a message from the Communication Rune Stone he had given to Hamadi.

After a brief thought, Rein decided to act immediately.

“Olena, I need to step out for a moment.”

“Hmm?”

Before Olena could say anything, Rein suddenly vanished from the carriage.

The sight left Olena in the carriage with her eyes wide open and her mouth forming an O shape.

Even though she had participated in many Imperial Swordsmen tasks and was quite experienced, witnessing Rein vanish before her eyes left her speechless.

“This…”

“Unbelievable, could it be that Lord Rein has mastered the long-lost space witchcraft?” Olena murmured to herself after some time.

…

At that moment, Rein used ’Shadow Shifting’ to appear out of thin air in the study of the Second Prince Everton’s mansion.

He quickly surveyed his surroundings and then smiled.

With his Dawn Peak perception, he quickly discovered the hidden door behind the bookshelf.

Without even attempting to study how the mechanism worked, Rein used ’Shadow Shifting’ again to enter the secret chamber equipped with a teleportation witch array.

“Found it, it’s really here.”

Rein looked at the teleportation witch array on the floor, which dimly flickered, and smiled.

For most Wizards, facing this teleportation witch array, they could only stare blankly as they couldn’t enter the Secret Realm.

Only those who knew the Spell to enter the Secret Realm could use this teleportation witch array.

Of course, calling it a Spell is inaccurate; it’s merely a trigger. Its essence is a specific wave pattern, similar to a key. Like every lock, it requires a uniquely jagged key to open.

“Next, I have to force my way into this Small Secret Realm; let’s hope its stability is high,” Rein whispered.

The next moment, he disappeared again, forcefully entering a certain bubble membrane in a mysterious three-dimensional space.

Meanwhile.

Everton, having just entered the Imperial Palace, suddenly felt a vibration from his Waist Bag, which made his face change drastically: “Something’s wrong, someone is invading the Secret Realm!”

He immediately turned and quickly returned to the carriage, saying, “Hurry back to the mansion!”

“Hmm?” The accompanying Buchanan looked confused, as this meeting was crucial and the Second Prince had scheduled it with several senior Royal Family members.

But upon seeing the distress on his highness’ face, he immediately understood the urgency and said, “Yes, your highness…”

…

What met Rein’s eyes was a deep and dark stone hall, lined with massive cylindrical containers on either side of the corridor. Within them floated all kinds of bizarre body parts and organs. Not far away, several squads of strange Dragon-men were patrolling.
