A secret pathway entrance.

After Raine led Meredith inside, he furrowed his brow slightly, contemplated for a moment, and decided to immediately use teleportation to leave.

The aftermath of the upcoming battle would further spread.

Because with the ascent of Zergelos, the mutated beholder into a legendary level, the Urein Empire would inevitably suffer significant casualties. However, as the number one human power, it was never short of legendary figures, and then it would be a war at the legendary level.

Regarding this, Raine naturally wanted to watch from the sidelines, but the problem was, he and Meredith were already exposed.

Although due to the dim environment of the Underdark and the somewhat far distance, he was sure that General Kobataen of the Urein Empire was unlikely to see him and Meredith’s specific features clearly, delaying would bring changes.

"Let’s go back!"

"Okay!"

Meredith nodded, but the next second, she looked at Raine in surprise.

Because she thought that Raine, holding her hand, intended to return the way they had come, but in the next moment, Raine cast a spell.

’Could it be a teleportation spell? Any Door?’

’But when did Raine master this?’

Meredith looked puzzled.

But with a flash of blue light, she and Raine disappeared from inside the secret pathway, leaving only an empty rock wall behind.

Almost simultaneously.

Dorne City.

Inside a room on the third floor of Viscount Olsen’s Castle, blue light blazed.

As the dazzling blue light subsided, two figures became clearly visible within the teleportation array, and the four guards beside them immediately became alert!

"It’s Lord Raine!"

"Great! Lord Raine is back!"

"Quick! Notify Lord Henry and the Viscount, Lord Raine is back," said the leading guard who was familiar with Raine, beaming with joy.

Hmm?

Just finished teleporting and still feeling the effects of using teleportation for the first time, Raine heard the guards’ conversation and immediately looked up, laying eyes on four fully armed and quite tense guards.

One of them seemed familiar to him, likely a guard trained by the Olsen Family from a young age.

However, seeing their expressions and hearing their conversation, could it be that something had changed in Dorne City during his absence?

"Did something happen in Dorne City during the few days I wasn’t here?"

"Well, Lord Raine, this matter is top secret, but since you’re not an outsider, we shouldn’t hide it. But it would be best if Lord Henry or the Viscount explains it to you; we’re afraid we can’t make it clear."

"Viscount?"

"Yes, a few days ago the Empire’s promotion decree was issued. Lord Baron was promoted to Viscount and was also appointed as the Governor of Dorne City."

As a guard trained by the Olsen Family from a young age, this young guard spoke with pride about his master being promoted to Viscount and appointed as the Governor of a city.

"That certainly is good news." Raine couldn’t help but smile and nod.

"Lord Raine, Lord Henry was also promoted; he is now a Count."

Just as Raine wanted to inquire further, two familiar figures appeared at the doorway, none other than Henry and Viscount Olsen, arriving together.

"Raine, you’re finally back! But how did you come through this teleportation array..." Henry, full of emotion, stepped forward to pat Raine on the shoulder and nodded with a smile to Meredith, but soon showed a face of confusion.

Normally, each teleportation array, like a three-dimensional positioning device, allows high-tier mages who master teleportation to confirm space coordinates for instant teleportation, and also connects to other teleportation arrays.

But the issue was that this particular array on the third floor of the castle only connected with a secret array which only a very few, including his aunt Leonore, knew.

In theory, Raine shouldn’t have been able to teleport from that location.

As for using a Seventh Level Spell to teleport here?

Henry immediately dismissed this possibility in his mind!

No matter how much of a genius Raine was, it was impossible for him to have mastered a seventh-level teleportation spell at this stage.

"Well... after I collected the two Warhammers, they have a rather unique effect, possessing the function of teleportation."

Raine found himself at a loss for words for a moment; he was unsure how to explain this teleportation. After a brief thought, he decided to attribute this teleportation ability to the newly acquired epic-level Warhammer Defender.

On the other hand, he also wanted to divert Henry and Viscount Olsen’s attention.

"Oh! You’ve collected them?" Henry’s gaze immediately fell on the two unadorned Warhammers at Raine’s waist, exclaiming in surprise.

Viscount Olsen was also surprised, looking at Raine’s waist.

"The fact that the two Warhammers have a special effect like teleportation is truly rare!" Henry marveled.

Since neither of them was transcendent, they had a relatively limited understanding of epic magic equipment, so amid their surprise and amazement, they didn’t heavily doubt the truth of Raine’s words.

However, Meredith beside him blinked her bright eyes, glancing at the Warhammers and then at Raine, with a puzzled look on her delicate face.

After all, she clearly knew the origins of Raine’s pair of Warhammers—they were the weapons of the ancient renowned strongman Emperor Daville of the Gray Dwarves.

Knowing that Gray Dwarves weren’t very adept at magic, let alone rare spatial magic.

Moreover, she had seen some records of Emperor Daville in the ancient tomes of her clan, which mentioned battles with ancient Drow sages, and never recorded Emperor Daville suddenly teleporting away during combat.

Of course, no matter how puzzled Meredith was in her heart, she wouldn’t openly question Raine in public.
