Chapter 585 - 317: Facing the Tyrant Directly
After reaching an agreement, Raine once again cast Teleportation.
The next moment!
Raine and Elder Grenum returned to the Iron Hills, inside the VIP lounge of the Elder Council.
"Mr. Raine, your Teleportation Spell is truly convenient." Although Grenum was not experiencing Raine’s teleportation for the first time, he still marveled at it.
The Mountain Dwarf Kingdom primarily has Warriors, and especially top-tier Combat Professionals; next, there are relatively fewer Priests.
But the rarest, are the Casters.
Of course, it’s not because the Dwarves are lazy or lack the spirit of research; it’s due to their racial nature.
It’s similar to how you rarely hear of Berserkers among the Elf Race, there’s also hardly any Casters among the Dwarves.
Therefore, Raine’s mastery of the Seven-Level Teleportation Spell naturally made Grenum greatly admire him.
"Mr. Raine, you can rest for a bit, I’ll go and report to Grand Elder Balin."
"Alright, thank you for the trouble, Elder Grenum." Raine nodded with a smile.
"Bring some refreshments to Mr. Raine quickly." Grenum instructed the two stunned female attendants while eagerly walking towards the main building of the Elder Council.
He had to first report the preliminary agreement reached with the Soladin Kingdom.
Also, he needed to discuss with the Grand Elder about the next steps regarding the hunting of the Wandering Eye Tyrant.
...
It took less time than Raine expected.
Soon, a group of people came over.
Looking up.
Leading them was the Dwarf Grand Elder Balin, whom Raine had met once, to his left was Elder Grenum and two other elders, while on his right was a dwarf girl wearing a brown priest robe interwoven with gold and silver threads.
Moreover, the girl seemed to have multiple Magic Items on her; be it the common necklace, brooch, or bracelet, they all emitted different colors of Magic Radiance, indicating a distinguished identity.
At this moment, her bright eyes were curiously observing him.
"Mr. Raine, let me introduce you, this is Princess Dongni, also a High-tier Priest of my lord Moradin." Grand Elder Balin said with a smile.
Princess?
High-tier Priest?
Raine raised an eyebrow, looking at her in surprise.
"Mr. Raine, Dongni Brute Hammer greets you." Princess Dongni curtsied with a continental ladylike gesture and smiled, "I’ve heard your name many times from the Grand Elder and Elder Grenum."
"Thank you for everything you’ve done for the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom."
Seeing Princess Dongni without any royal arrogance, speaking gently like a girl next door, made Raine feel a bit fond of her.
"Good day, Princess Dongni, I simply did what I should do." Raine placed his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly in salute, "In comparison, my mentor, Elder Grenum, the Grand Elder, and others have helped me more."
"This is Elder Dinita..."
"This is Elder Ubrek..."
"This is Elder Auslan..."
After introducing Princess Dongni, Grand Elder Balin proceeded to introduce the three dwarf elders beside him one by one, and Raine greeted each in return.
Two minutes later.
Everyone sat around the conference room, beginning to discuss serious matters.
"Mr. Raine, I shouldn’t doubt your plan, but the Legendary Eye Demon’s various spell attacks are quite tricky, concerning the safety of our three elders. Please allow me to conduct a test, I hope you don’t mind."
After exchanging pleasantries, Princess Dongni apologized and got to the point.
Hearing this, Raine suddenly realized, as he wondered why a royal princess would suddenly appear.
It seemed now that she represented the royal opinion.
However, Raine wasn’t displeased with Princess Dongni’s proposal.
After all, the terror of the Legendary Eye Demon’s combat power is well-known, and considering the safety of the three Extraordinary High-tier Elders of the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom, confirming things before action is both reasonable and justified.
"Of course, but how does Princess Dongni plan to test?"
"Mr. Raine, your magnanimity is admirable."
"As for the test, it’s well known the Eyebeast’s eye ray causes diverse and bizarre effects, I want to use a Third Level Spell Scroll to test your response, is that acceptable?"
"No problem." Raine smiled slightly and readily agreed.
From Princess Dongni’s proposal, it was clear she merely intended to test, not to intimidate or anything.
After all, it’s just a Third Level Spell, even for an extraordinary strong person with normal resistance, there would be no serious injury, let alone any life-threatening scenarios; it was merely a test.
On the training ground nearby.
Raine stood in the center of the field, while Princess Dongni stood more than twenty meters away opposite him, holding a Magic Scroll.
"Mr. Raine, this is the most powerful Fireball Technique Scroll among the Third Level Spells, you should be careful."
In fact, as a High-tier Priest, Princess Dongni could also cast the Fireball Technique herself, but the Fireball Technique she cast was driven by Divine Art essentially.
It’s similar to how both a gasoline engine and a high-performance battery can drive a car, yet there is an essential difference in driving power.
Additionally, the external manifestation, i.e., the effect presented by the Fireball Technique, also shows subtle differences.
Driven by Divine Art, the essence of the Fireball is Divine Energy, thus the ball of fire often appears pale gold, differing from the typically orange-red or white-hot fireballs cast by Mages.
