238 Aenwyn Looking For People

“Sir Aethelwolf, we’ve already set up the traps in the Great Noxus River.” Aenwyn reported.

Hearing this, Aethelwolf nodded his head. “It seems like I’ve underestimated your attainments as an Engraver. I want to check the runes you inscribed, but as you can see, I am in the middle of refining pills so that would have to wait.” He said as he turned his head back to his cauldron. He was refining pills when Aenwyn arrived and the elven woman was incredibly surprised by how he could still casually chat in his situation. In their Aracan Kingdom, the Alchemists wouldn’t allow anyone to disturb them while they are in the middle of refinement, but this guy didn’t seem to care about such things.

“I’ll send some men to monitor the area around the Great Noxus River and also near the vicinity of the Linaza Household’s estate. I’ll notify you if we see movement from Brian’s side.” Aenwyn said.

“Alright. I’ll let you handle this thing. By the way, I’ve already made the Slave Rune. You can take it.” Aethelwolf grabbed the Slave Rune from his storage space and handed it to Aenwyn.

The elven princess stared at the rune in amazement. This was a Level 4 rune and Aethelwolf actually managed to make it in just one night!

Looking at the shocked expression on her face, Aethelwolf chuckled as he said. “You know how to activate that, right? You just have to send a stream of world essence into the rune and place this on your target’s neck. Make sure that your target is in a weakened state to increase the success rate of enslavement.”

“I’ll remember your words.” Aenwyn nodded her head and looked at him in awe. She only admired a few people in her life and now, Aethelwolf was one of them. Disregarding his mysterious power, just his attainment as an Engraver alone was enough to rank at the top in any empire.

“You may leave. I’ll wait for your good news.” Aethelwold waved his hand and focused his attention back on his cauldron. The pills he was refining this time require a high degree of control so a slight mistake would damage the resulting pills. Initially, he planned to accompany Aenwyn in capturing Brian, but he could only let her do it on her own since there are still a mountain of pills to refine. ‘With the Slave Rune in her possession, it shouldn’t be a problem for her to take down Brian...’ He thought to himself.

Aenwyn looked at him deeply before she left the Alchemy room. She then headed straight downstairs to look for some people. When she arrived at the training area of the soldiers, she saw Olivia playing with two unfamiliar guys. “Who are those men?” She frowned as she looked at them.

.....

As if noticing her arrival, Olivia waved her hand at Aenwyn as she excitedly ran towards her. “Aenwyn! Look! Those two are Kerrin and Alba!” The little girl eagerly said while pointing at the black-haired man and the white-haired man.

“Kerrin, Alba?” Aenwyn knitted her eyebrows as she inspected both men. She found their names so familiar and after a moment of thinking, she finally recalled that those are the names of the two Equuses who always played with Olivia. “Wait... You mean those two are...”

“Greetings, Miss Aenwyn.” Kerrin and Alba greeted her.

Suddenly, Olivia frowned and placed her hands on her hips as she scolded them. “Didn’t I tell you guys that if you are greeting someone of higher status than you, one should at least lightly bow their head to show them respect? Do it again!”

After hearing her words, Kerrin and Alba seriously nodded their heads. They then looked at Aenwyn and bowed their heads. “Greetings, Miss Aenwyn!”

Aenwyn calmly nodded her head as she stared at the necklaces tied to their necks. She could sense that those items had runes inscribed on them and they were not just any ordinary runes. She then came to the conclusion that Aethelwolf was capable of making Transformation Runes! Furthermore, magical beasts shouldn’t be capable of speaking the language of humans, but these two could speak with her fluently. That means there was a Translation Rune inscribed on their necklace.

At this moment, she finally caught a glimpse of the difference between her and Aethelwolf. She felt like she was looking at an unscalable mountain!

It was very difficult to make Translation Runes since the Engraver has to be proficient in both languages added to the magical formula of the rune. To make it more shocking, no human could speak the Language of Beasts so Aethelwolf was the only one capable of making this specific type of Translation Rune!

“Aenwyn, why are you here?” Olivia blinked her eyes as she looked at the elven princess. It was so rare to see Aenwyn all by herself since she was always at Aethelwolf’s side.

Aenwyn stared at Olivia as she muttered. “I’m looking for some people. You are more familiar with the soldiers here, who among them could be trusted?”

Olivia gave her a weird look as she replied. “Everyone here can be trusted. They are loyal to papa so you can rest assured. If you want some skilled people, then you have to ask Grandpa Einar. He knows more about the soldiers than me.” She then pointed at an old man who was looking in their direction with a stern look.

“Alright.” Aenwyn nodded her head and walked towards the old man. Olivia immediately followed her, while Kerrin and Alba trailed behind the little girl with straight faces.

“Sir Einar, I heard that you are familiar with the soldiers in the Household. Can you tell me who among them is good in scouting and reconnaissance?” Aenwyn asked.

Einar was a bit surprised that Aenwyn came to ask him this, but he still answered her query. “If you are looking for such people, those men right there fit your criteria. I give you my word.” He was confident about those men since they are among the soldiers under him during the recent war against the Dustin Empire and the Ford Empire.
