Chapter 950: Chapter 338: First Form (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4

“Well… I’ve heard that the property prices in the Imperial City seem to be very high…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the housing for you and your family. It might be a bit challenging to get a lavish mansion, but if it’s a Viscount-level residence, I can arrange it for you.”

Victor waved his hand, indicating that this was not a problem at all.

“Thank you, Duke Victor, um…”

“Viscount Rein, from another perspective, with your strong capabilities, you should be receiving better treatment. Look, you are still a Viscount. If this were the Imperial City, you’d at least hold an Earl’s title now.”

“Ahem… Duke Victor, Rein’s Earl title is already being processed.” Admiral Edward coughed and said.

What the hell, poaching right in front of him, this guy Victor.

“Oh, I see…” Victor realized his gaffe and that he had been a bit too blunt.

However, soon enough, a flash of inspiration came to Victor’s mind, and he thought that perhaps persuading the young man in front of him from another angle might yield better results.

Victor began, “Viscount Rein, I see you are quite young, you shouldn’t be married yet, right?”

“No.” Rein shook his head, saying.

After all, this was something that couldn’t be denied, since anyone could easily inquire and find out.

“That’s great then, Viscount Rein. I have three granddaughters, and my eldest just turned eighteen. She’s already an Official Knight and currently enrolled at the Imperial Royal Academy. She’s quite the beauty. Do you think you can find the time to meet her?”

“Huh?” Rein got slightly choked up for a moment.

Seriously?

Duke Victor, this… isn’t this a bit too direct?

And Admiral Edward and Duke of Minter beside him both found their faces turning dark.

“Not interested? That’s okay. My second granddaughter is sixteen, but she’s already a Third Level Wizard Apprentice. She loves reading various ancient texts and has an elegant demeanor.”

For a moment, Rein didn’t know what to say.

Seeing that Rein remained silent, Victor rubbed his chin and frowned, mumbling to himself in a low voice.

“Still not interested?”

“But my youngest granddaughter is just too young, only ten years old…”

This made Rein’s face darken as he quickly sidestepped Duke Victor…

…

Several hours later, Rein followed the main troops back to Mingster.

By then, dusk was falling.

He declined further dinner invitations and opted to return to the estate.

Regarding Duke Victor’s relentless and bottomless persuasion, Rein was quite annoyed.

After having dinner with his family, Anna, and the beautiful Jennifer, Rein finally had a chance to check the previous battle notifications:

[Congratulations, you’ve defeated a formidable enemy and gained 17 Golden Skill Points!]

[Congratulations, your Will (hidden) attribute has improved!]

….

[Congratulations, your King of Thousand Blades (Epic) Profession Level has increased!]

[Congratulations, your King of Thousand Blades (Epic) Profession Level has increased!]

…

After battling Corruption Dragon Agnes, Rein’s new Epic-level profession, ‘King of Thousand Blades,’ increased by four levels to reach lv8, granting him 4 attribute points and 4 skill points.

Including his previously remaining points, he now had a total of 6 attribute points, 4 skill points, and 23 Golden Skill Points available.

However, the thing Rein was most eager to know was the effect of the new ability he gained thanks to the increase in his bloodline concentration–‘Transformed Dragon-man Form.’

When Rein arrived at the training room, he paused and, for the first time, decided to lock the door.

This was because Rein wasn’t sure if the Transformed Dragon-man Form would be hideously ugly, and he feared scaring his family.

The other reason was that as a trump card within trump cards, he didn’t want anyone else to know about the Dragon-man Transformation–not even members of his own squad, like Viery.

It wasn’t a matter of distrust, but a precaution against potential slips, because in the Extraordinary World, many magical means could deceive the mind or compel truth-telling.

As Rein silently chanted ‘Mutated Dragon-man Form,’ he underwent an enormous transformation.
