Seeing White Vulture, Rhine seemed a little surprised.
"You are, that Demigod from the Golden Land?"
White Vulture smiled, full of enthusiasm: "Our last meeting was too rushed, I didn't have a chance to introduce myself. Hello, Your Highness Rhine, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am White Vulture, the leader of the Demon Sword Sisterhood."
"The Demon Sword Sisterhood, I see. I've heard of that name."
Rhine nodded and asked, "Miss White Vulture, your employer is dead. What do you want with me?"
White Vulture beamed:
"Of course, it's to find a new employer for myself!"
White Vulture rubbed her hands together and asked tentatively, "Your Highness Rhine, although I know you don't lack Demigods in Hain, but... as far as I know, you can't mobilize much official power for this visit, can you?"
Rhine and Hela, they killed an ancient dragon, stole the final works of the primordial Gods, disrupted the Golden Land, and monopolized the dwarven sacred land...
Any one of these actions would violate the iron laws of the Hain Empire.
Therefore, White Vulture judged that the power Prince Rhine could mobilize for his trip to the Golden Land should only be Hela Hain, who was close to him.
"To be honest, Your Highness, I can guess one or two of your intentions for visiting the Golden Land. But Your Highness doesn't need to be nervous. Since Your Highness has heard of the 'Demon Sword Sisterhood', then you should know..."
White Vulture gave a suggestive smile:
"For us, the most precious things in the world are not gold, not divine weapons, nor any dwarven sacred land, but... new Life."
White Vulture looked at Rhine with a smile: "And I know you can grant us this."
Rhine was silent for a moment: "...The Azalea Secret Ritual?"
White Vulture nodded repeatedly.
White Vulture felt that at this point, Rhine Hain had understood her intentions.
Rhine Hain, The Prince of the Hain Empire, the biological brother of Demigod Italien, and the descendant of the Crystal God with the noblest bloodline in the mortal world.
Since he could utter the words "Azalea Secret Ritual," he must know what White Vulture craved.
This was a transaction.
Rhine only needed to agree to participate in an Azalea Secret Ritual.
Then White Vulture would accept Rhine's employment and help him open the Golden Land.
Immediately...
After a few seconds of deep thought, the dashing, incredibly handsome, and lustful Prince finally reached a conclusion.
Rhine: "Okay."
White Vulture was overjoyed: "You agreed?!"
Rhine smiled shyly: "After all, you are a rare beauty, and you are willing to risk your life to fight for me... Is there any reason why I wouldn't agree?"
"Oh my, Your Highness has already designated me as your bud?"
White Vulture gave a shy smile and nodded gently:
"You can."
And so.
The deal was struck.
White Vulture bid Rhine farewell with affectionate eyes. She left Rhine's room and, on the way back, tilted her head and pondered, feeling that something was not quite right.
So...
He agreed so easily, the Prince of Hain?
Even a mere Prince would have a strong protective instinct for his bloodline, so how could Rhine, as the heir of the Hain Empire, seem... so indifferent to this?
Wasn't all of this a bit...
Too smooth?
And besides, did Rhine know?
His conversation with White Vulture just now had been clearly overheard by his own Imperial Guard.
After seeing White Vulture off, Rhine returned to his room.
On his desk were piled ancient texts about the Golden Land that the dolls had found for him.
To pass the time, Rhine calmly read through the materials he had already seen countless times.
The chaos in the Golden Land had not ended.
Continuing the madness of the previous night, conspiracies and killings continued to erupt in various parts of the Golden Land.
The chaos spread, and the power of the Nether Realm grew stronger in the Golden Land.
Until dusk.
In Rhine's eyes, golden ripples appeared.
"Rhine."
Olivia's voice came, "I don't recommend you stay here any longer."
"I know, but I have no choice, Your Highness."
Rhine said lightly, "Since I've obtained the New Single-Handed Sword 01, I must open the Golden Land."
Olivia was a bit helpless, "It's true that [Rhine] can activate the Golden Land... but, are you really sure there's something you want in the Golden Land?"
Because the ancient dragon and the Golden Dwarves were both ancient races that served the Primal Sequence.
Therefore, Olivia knew quite a bit about the Golden Land.
However, in her understanding... the things in the Golden Land were meaningless to a mortal Emperor!
But Rhine's attitude was extremely firm.
Rhine: "I am very sure there is something I need there."
Olivia: "Hmm..."
Fine then.
Olivia shrugged and said no more.
Ever since she bestowed the dragon eyes of Enzhu upon Rhine, Olivia had been paying attention to Rhine's actions.
Let alone an Ancient Dragon Princess, even an idiot would have noticed by now.
This Rhine fellow knows too much!
That knowledge, that information, was simply not something a spoiled Prince who grew up in the Imperial Palace should know!
You say you know the Dreamland is Olivia's business and you came to negotiate with Olivia, that's understandable.
But you actually dug out the skull of the Elf's Sovereign, isn't that a bit too much?!
Whether it was his terrifying mastery of Life divinity or his prediction of Leta's identity as the King of the Moon... everything was absolutely impossible for him to know!
If Olivia were a mortal, then Rhine Hain would be an unknown, incomprehensible monster to her, only inspiring fear and apprehension.
But...
She was a deity of the Nether Realm.
Through the endless ages, all she desired was more surprises, more excitement.
And from Rhine Hain...
She saw endless amusement!
Very good!
Then let's wait and see!
Let me see what big news my cute collaborator is going to stir up!
However, Big news aside for now.
There was one thing that Olivia was truly a little unhappy about with Rhine.
Olivia: "But speaking of which--Rhine, I say, aren't you bullying your Imperial Guard a bit too much?"
Rhine was stunned, "Are you talking about Hela?"
Olivia: "Yes,"
Olivia had been watching the emotional changes between Rhine and Hela.
Through Enzhu's dragon eyes, Rhine Hain's own superb acting skills, and Rhine's invincible strength in every sense.
No matter what Hela's past attitude towards Rhine was.
But now, Olivia could only see one emotion in Hela's eyes.
Love.
She had fallen in love with Rhine.
Even though Rhine was just a mortal, Hela, as a Demigod, was still captivated by him, lost in him, and unable to extricate herself.
Yet Rhine didn't seem to cherish Hela at all.
Olivia: "Don't forget the contract between us. I'm really looking forward to when your first sacrifice for me will begin."
"No need to rush, Your Highness."
Rhine smiled and didn't say much.
Indeed, he could fulfill the contract with Olivia now and perform a sacrifice.
But that was by no means the optimal time.
Earlier today, White Vulture came to Rhine to negotiate terms, and Rhine readily agreed.
However, Rhine's words, were not spoken to White Vulture at all.
They were meant for Hela!
Rhine: "Actually, I have been waiting, patiently waiting."
Olivia asked curiously, "Waiting for what?"
Rhine smiled, "Waiting for the moment of explosion."
Just then, Behind Rhine, a Spatial Rift appeared silently!
No Demigod emerged from the Spatial Rift.
Only a gaze, mixed with grief, confusion, love, and longing, fell upon Rhine.
Rhine showed surprise, but his heart was incredibly calm.
See, She had finally arrived.
The next moment, Rhine was grabbed by a fair arm and pulled into the Spatial Rift, disappearing without a trace.
62. Your Command is My Everything... My Love
Morning.
In an unknown villa, Rhine simply threw on some clothes, left the bedroom, and made himself a cup of coffee.
Not long after,
