Chapter 360 – 191: Undercurrents Surge (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3

“Yes, what is the fastest way to obtain this? Oh, and if raw materials are needed, I still have two beast hearts,” Rein added.

Hearing this, Jennifer, who had been lying down, lifted her head, blinked her beautiful eyes, and wore a look of surprise, seemingly unable to believe the man’s words before her.

Although she was not a knight, as the ruler of the Crowley family, she naturally knew such common knowledge.

The implication in Rein’s words was very clear—he needed the essence of the beast.

This meant that the man before her, no, the ’great’ man, was about to challenge the level of a Great Knight.

But it was currently the Snow Moon, and Jennifer knew from Emma that Rein had just turned sixteen.

Was he about to become a Great Knight?

My God!

A sixteen-year-old Great Knight, could there be such an astonishing occurrence in Mingster County Town!

This time, Jennifer did not even ask Rein if he was confident about ascending to the Great Knight rank; instead, she assumed that her young man surely was.

Wait, also, did Rein just say he had two ready beast hearts in his possession?

Jennifer felt overwhelmed!

Calming her excitement, for the sake of her young man’s significant affair, Jennifer pondered seriously and said softly:

“There are three ways, but which is most suitable, I’m not certain.”

“Moreover, this involves safety issues, so ultimately, you’ll need to decide.”

Jennifer said this while pointing gently at Rein’s chest with her fair fingers.

“In the entire Meister County, there are only two master pharmacists, and one is not adept at creating Magic Potions from beast essences. So, in reality, there is only one master pharmacist in the county town who can make the ’beast essence,’ and that is Master Holland.”

“However, the problem is, compared to the masters at the Royal Alchemist Association, Master Holland’s success rate, whether in terms of potion efficacy or manufacturing success, leaves much to be desired.”

“If it were low or intermediate level magic potions, it would still be fine; but the beast essence is a high-level magic potion, and I’m afraid the success rate is worrying…. Yet, this should be the fastest method. Normally, if Master Holland agrees, he could complete the beast essence in three days.”

“Of course, what you might receive in three days could also be a failure.”

“Secondly, it would be through the Yakesen Auction House, an enormous auction house spanning the entire empire, reportedly backed by one of the empire’s most significant figures.”

“Perhaps other auction houses might not have access to a beast essence, but the Yakesen Auction House likely can, though at a very high price. However, timing isn’t definite; it could be very quick, or it might take a month.”

“Lastly, it would be through official imperial channels.”

“Dear, as an imperial public servant now endowed with the rank of Baron, you can directly order beast essence, of course, providing beast hearts can greatly reduce the price, but this method is the slowest, requiring at least a month.”

Hearing Jennifer’s profound knowledge of various secrets gave Rein a delighted surprise, as if he had serendipitously discovered a treasure.

To think that aside from her stunning beauty, the lady was not just a decorative vase; she was vastly knowledgeable about nobility secrets, business intelligence, and more.

Her just-completed item-by-item analysis was extremely helpful to him.

“Oh, Jennifer, one more thing, can you send someone to contact the sheriff of Flashgold Town, Hamilton, and tell him I invite him to discuss a matter,” Rein said.

“Mm,” the beautiful woman replied, lying against Rein’s chest obediently.

Feeling quite pleased, Rein felt it necessary to reward the beautiful woman further, and thus, it was not until a servant came to report that dinner was ready, half an hour later, that the two concluded their deep interaction.

The dazzling beauty tidied her disheveled hair, restoring her dignified matronly appearance, and they exited the study one after the other.

It must be said, the beautiful woman’s efficiency was exceptional; shortly after dinner, Rein saw Hamilton, who had just arrived, in the study.

Upon seeing Rein, Hamilton grabbed him immediately and said gravely, “Do you know about the deadly duel Baron Norman has challenged you to?”

Rein nodded, his face inevitably carrying a wry smile.

He then repeated part of what he had discussed with Jennifer to Hamilton.

Though Hamilton had mentally prepared himself to estimate Rein’s combat ability as highly as possible, what Rein had just shared still utterly astounded him!

After examining Rein from top to bottom, the person he knew best, yet felt so unfamiliar, Hamilton asked, “Rein, did you really kill Giovanni solo?”

Although Rein had already explained clearly, and the Silver Conch Medal from the Goddess Church was definitely authentic, Hamilton was still hard-pressed to believe that his former subordinate, his lieutenant, had reached such heights. Your next read is at Novgo

Such heights… that he had to look up to!

Seeing Rein nod, Hamilton sighed.

However, Hamilton quickly adjusted his mindset and said, “But, Rein, you still can’t be careless; Baron Norman has rich combat experience, and his combat ability is not inferior to Giovanni’s.”

“I understand,” Rein nodded and said.

“By the way, Rein, you called me here for what?” Hamilton asked.

“Sir, I wanted to ask about anything particular I should pay attention to in the process of transitioning from Knight to Great Knight,” Rein asked.
