Chapter 499 - 269: You’ll Get Used to It After Calling a Few More Times
"Raine, what’s happening over there?" As soon as Raine arrived, Laisa eagerly came up and asked.
She had wanted to go with Raine earlier, but was refused, and now her curiosity was at its peak.
At this time, Meredith couldn’t help but ask, "Raine, I seemed to have felt your magic fluctuations just now."
As a Sword Dancer about to enter the Extraordinary with a Classes Level of ten, Meredith’s perception was sharper than Laisa’s.
Additionally, having fought alongside Raine several times, Meredith was quite familiar with the energy fluctuations of ’Freezing Wind.’
"Huh? There was a battle?" Laisa widened her eyes, looking at Raine in surprise.
"No rush, we’ll talk on the way. First, take care of the campfire; we leave here immediately." Raine did not answer in haste but looked around and said.
"Oh, okay!"
Hearing Raine’s words, everyone stopped asking questions and quickly cleaned up the campfire, roasting, and other traces.
Then, the group swiftly advanced towards the main city of Ares, where the Hernet Family resided.
About an hour later, after confirming there were no pursuers behind them, Raine began to explain while walking:
"Just now, the two sides in the confrontation, one was the High-tier Priest Ravniya from Belendaan who followed us all the way, and the other was the Urein Empire’s ’Aegis of Heaven’ Adventurer Group..."
"That Ravniya actually followed us? How did she do it?"
Hearing Raine’s words, everyone looked over in surprise, and Laisa pressed further.
"Yes, Mr. Raine, didn’t you teleport here? How could it be..."
"Could it be that Lord Lunen has some kind of tracking device on him?" Dylan Crit looked at Meredith’s father, Master Blacksmith Lunen.
This made Lunen’s heart tighten, and he immediately began to check his body.
"No, if I’m not mistaken, it should be the Prophecy Spell." Raine said immediately.
He was quite confident about this, as he had already obtained Ravniya’s icon, and from the effect of the Prophecy Spell, it wasn’t hard for the opponent to achieve this.
After all, Lunen had been imprisoned for a long time, and using items related to him for the Prophecy Spell was relatively easy.
"Prophecy Spell?"
Laisa and Sulfur Vine exchanged a look, somewhat puzzled.
At this time, Lunen’s eyes widened, exclaiming: "That’s right, as a High-tier Priestess, Ravniya’s Prophecy Spell is blessed by the goddess, even without leaving any traceable marks, it can achieve a certain degree of location tracking."
"That’s outrageous?" Laisa couldn’t help but click her tongue, "Oh? By the way, Raine, what happened after that? Were you just watching from the side?"
"Miss Meredith also mentioned she felt your magic fluctuations just now."
With Laisa’s question, a smile appeared on Raine’s face as he said, "I picked up the scraps."
"Picked up the scraps? What do you mean?" Laisa blinked, puzzled.
"They fought for a while and then retreated. Then I seized the opportunity to clear out Ravniya and some of the pursuers from Belendaan."
"Hiss~" The people around, including the Crit Squad, all widened their eyes in surprise, looking at Raine.
Both Meredith and her father Lunen exchanged a glance, seeing disbelief on each other’s faces.
Compared to others, they, as Drow Elves, members of the Breagan Family, understood well the value of a Drow High-tier Priestess!
Lunen’s lips moved slightly, as if wanting to ask for some details or say something, but in the end, he didn’t utter a sound and instead patted his daughter Meredith’s shoulder, showing a look of appreciation.
"Oh my! Raine, you didn’t take me to the battle! No way, next time you must take me, I have the Boots of Levitation, I won’t be detected by the enemy." Laisa said urgently.
However, the observant Sulfur Vine seemed to think of something and asked, "So, Mr. Raine, were we just avoiding retaliation from Belendaan?"
"Not entirely. After I killed Ravniya, the Transcendent Paladin of ’Aegis of Heaven’ came over to check the situation. So, I cast an Invisibility Spell immediately to hide."
"And then? Did they discover you?" Sulfur Vine couldn’t help but feel tense and asked.
"No. However, they did run into the following search team from Belendaan, so most likely, Belendaan will mistakenly believe that ’Aegis of Heaven’ was the one who killed their warden."
"I see." Sulfur Vine immediately breathed a sigh of relief and also smiled.
"Raine, I didn’t expect you to be so cunning." Laisa said with a teasing smile, "If Belendaan’s Drows end up in a conflict with the Urein Empire, it’ll surely be because of you this time."
"Cunning? Don’t misuse words." Raine couldn’t help but knock on Laisa’s head lightly, then turned to Meredith, asking: "By the way, how long will it take us to reach Ares from here?"
Hearing Raine’s question, Meredith’s father, Master Blacksmith Lunen, was the first to answer: "At our current pace, it will take about five days."
"Five days?" Raine nodded, "It seems Lord Lunen is quite familiar with Ares."
"I spent some time there in my youth and have some friends there. Mr. Raine, do you have any detailed plans for our subsequent actions?" Lunen, hearing Raine’s mention of Ares, knew that Raine intended to plan for the future, immediately inquiring proactively.
