However, just as Raine wanted to take a closer look at the last two items, suddenly, the Communication Crystal Stone given to him by Benest gently vibrated and started glowing intermittently.

Raine pondered for a moment, then injected a strand of Spiritual Power into it, and Benest’s voice immediately came from the crystal stone:

"Mr. Raine, we have successfully joined forces with Lord Viscount Henry. How are things on your end?"

At the same time, Raine also heard slightly noisy voices coming from the other end of the crystal, such as—

"Mr. Raine is safe!"

"The White Dragon couldn’t do anything to Mr. Raine either."

"That’s really impressive!"

Obviously, everyone on the other end was quite pleased to be able to connect with him.

"I’m fine on my end." Raine smiled; it felt nice to be cared about and remembered.

"That’s good! Lord Viscount has something he wants to say to you."

Soon, after a few seconds of pause, Henry’s familiar voice came from the crystal: "Raine, you’ve truly given me a big surprise!"

"This time, if it weren’t for you diverting the other White Dragon’s attention, we probably wouldn’t have been able to escape so easily. Raine, you’ll be like a brother to me from now on!"

"Rest assured, I’ll immediately return to the Royal Capital and have the Kingdom send High-Tier Transcendent to assist you."

Raine felt warm inside, regardless of how credible Henry’s words were; at least they expressed goodwill.

However, Raine perceived the reduction in the scorching sensation on his skin slightly, and said: "Lord Viscount, there’s no need to trouble yourself."

"I should be able to return to Mill Town by myself within two days, no need to send someone to assist me."

"Raine, are you confident?" It was clear that Henry asked this question quite seriously.

This truly showed that Raine’s safety was a concern.

"Confident."

"Alright, I’ll head back to the Royal Capital later. If you encounter any issues, feel free to contact Mr. Benest at any time. Furthermore, I’ll have Colonel Tessa stay in Mill Town on my behalf, waiting for your return. She will represent me to pay you the reward."

"Alright! Thank you, Lord Viscount."

After finishing the call with Henry, Benest’s voice came through the Communication Crystal Stone: "Mr. Raine, is there anything else you need me to do?"

"Oh, Mr. Benest, please notify Elise and Reya not to wait for me, have them return to Mill Town with you all."

"I’m worried if the White Dragon can’t find me, it might indiscriminately unleash its wrath on the human adventurers in the Lankote Snowfield."

"Understood, Mr. Raine," Benest immediately agreed.

With the call ended, Henry and his group immediately advanced swiftly toward the edge of the Lankote Snowfield.

Considering there were many powerful flying demons in the air above the Lankote Snowfield, even though Henry had contacted Mill Town’s Griffin group and immediately dispatched three Griffins to come over, they would only be able to ride them smoothly after reaching the snowfield’s edge.

However, about dozens of meters behind Henry and his group, in an empty area, extremely subtle conversation sounds emerged.

If invisibility could be seen through, one would find the figures of ’Winterless Shield’ Olaf and Secret Master Sarno.

"Continue tracking?"

"Hmm, I’ve already contacted Winterless City’s team base; Adhir just completed the Black Hand Priest career change, and he will rush over immediately."

"Adhir completed his career change? That’s great!" Olaf first showed joy, but then seemed to think of something, furrowing his brow slightly: "However, even if Adhir rides the Firewing Hawk over, it would still take at least three hours, right?"

"Yes, so we should first follow behind the opponents, confirming their camp, and it should roughly be nightfall by then."

Secret Master Sarno looked up at the sun’s position and continued: "Then, when Adhir joins us, we can launch an attack to take them down altogether."

In Sarno’s view, with three transcendents on their side, forming a golden combination of warrior, mage, and priest, while it might not be possible to annihilate the opposing team, reclaiming the Necromancy Crystal should be completely feasible.

"A very prudent plan." Olaf nodded, "Oh, did you have Adhir bring me a shield?"

He was quite unaccustomed to using the small team shield warrior’s shield.

If it were ordinary opponents, Olaf wouldn’t be so picky about using a handy shield; but since the previous battle with Raine, he was somewhat cautious of the power of Raine’s Warhammer.

And just now, he searched the opponent’s personnel several times, but couldn’t find the young man wielding the hammer...

"I’ve told him to bring along ’Dawn Guardian’ for you." Sarno glanced at Olaf’s somewhat mismatched shield with an odd expression.

"That’s good!" Olaf nodded.

’Dawn Guardian’ was a shield he used before, and although its defense is slightly inferior to the gold-plated tower shield, it has the advantage of familiarity, which allows him to fully unleash his combat capabilities.

Therefore, the two of them agreed without rushing to act, trailing their targets under the guise of invisibility spell.

...

On the other side.

Raine considered for a while longer, ensured nothing was missed, and then refocused his attention on the last two Spell-like Abilities.

The second-to-last item is ’Polar Ray,’ also a Sixth Level Spell.

Polar Ray Level 2, Effect: Release a ray formed from Extreme Cold Energy; if it hits, the target will receive massive frost damage and be frozen in a high-strength ice ray sarcophagus.
