Raine's refusal made Commodore Gregory, who was beside him, a little unhappy. He remarked, "Young man, this matter is important to the Kingdom, and we hope you will cooperate."
Colonel Tessa gently coughed and softly reminded, "Commodore Gregory, Mr. Raine is not someone from within our Kingdom; he is just an adventurer."
Henry also smiled and said, "Indeed, it was my oversight. Mr. Raine, how about this? I will immediately have a mission issued in the name of the Kingdom. Once you accept it, your primary responsibility will be to guide the way."
"As for the reward, it will definitely be higher than a typical Black Iron Level quest. How about that?"
"Lord Viscount, if I really have to go, it might be half a day later as I need to handle something first." Considering the offer, Raine didn't refuse outright.
Upon hearing "something to handle," Henry initially wanted to inquire further but understood when he saw the shield behind Raine. He had a look of realization.
