On his chest, the newly acquired Heart-Protecting Mirror, the Heart of Water Moon, emitted a faint, imperceptible fluctuation of Magic Power, ready to block a fatal blow at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soul Horn at his waist was also placed within easy reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luke had returned the Horn, the Tier Five Magic Core was still embedded in it, containing enough Magic Power for two more summonings of a Starfall Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to go. Let’s get to work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp whistle, a tawny bolt of Lightning descended from the sky—it was the Storm Griffin King, Baofeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its massive Iron Feathers made a soft, metallic chime in the evening breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo vaulted onto the Griffin’s broad back, with Ed following close behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coal Ball appeared on Raylo’s left shoulder, while Moonlight leaped into his arms and yawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baofeng beat its wings and soared into the sky. After circling the military camp once, it flew west toward a stretch of rolling hills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five kilometers away, Raylo chose to land on the summit of a hill with a wide, open view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After surveying the area, he took out the orange Magic Signal Bomb from his robes and infused it with Magic Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright orange flare shot into the air, exploding in the twilight sky to form the massive shape of a Griffin’s claw that lingered for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that done, Raylo stood composedly atop the hill, letting the evening wind buffet his cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, just as the last sliver of light was devoured by darkness, a sharp presence shot from the distance, arriving in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure appeared silently in the shadows not far ahead, as if he had been standing there all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man just stood there, yet a pressure as heavy as a mountain washed over them, making the very air feel thick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Domain Knight of the Fiery Sun Kingdom, Karachi’s Swordsmanship Instructor, \"Radiant Blade\" Kade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the one who fired the signal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kade’s voice was cold and raspy, like metal grinding on metal. His gaze, sharp as a hawk’s, locked onto Raylo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is Karachi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Kade, it’s good to see you’re well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo smiled faintly, completely unaffected by the man’s oppressive aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight, on his shoulder, even swished its tail in displeasure, its pale golden eyes revealing a wary look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t have time for your nonsense, young man. Hand over the Prince, and you can leave unharmed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m afraid I can’t do that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Prince of Karachi and I have already reached an agreement. He has promised me a few things in exchange for the chance to return to the Fiery Sun Kingdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kade froze for a moment, then his anger turned into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you toying with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not something you need to worry about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo’s tone shifted, becoming playful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I sought you out today to discuss another business deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of deal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Paying a ransom for your student,\" Raylo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A ransom that will allow him to leave here safely tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The killing intent radiating from Kade instantly surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You dare extort a Domain Knight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn’t extortion, Lord Kade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on Raylo’s face didn’t change, but his eyes grew cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Failure always comes with a price. Of course, you are free to refuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused before adding leisurely, \"In that case, I’ll hand him over, completely unharmed, to our Iron Blood Commander-in-Chief. I imagine Lord Luke would be more than happy to deal with a prince from an enemy kingdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kade trembled with rage, the Treasure Sword at his waist humming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Raylo was telling the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Karachi fell into the hands of \"Iron Blood\" Luke, it would all be over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I would completely lose any chance of rescuing Karachi.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Kade’s reaction, Raylo knew the time was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a letter from his robes and, with a flick of his finger, sent it fluttering toward Kade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a letter Karachi wrote for you. Take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kade snatched the letter and quickly unfolded it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed Karachi’s handwriting. The message was simple: cooperate with all of Raylo’s demands, as this was his last chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the letter, a trace of pain and unwillingness appeared on Kade’s resolute face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he’d been completely outmaneuvered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Karachi’s Swordsmanship Instructor, his fate was too deeply intertwined with the prince’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kade practically squeezed the words out through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo held up one finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything you own, except for your Weapon and armor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kade’s face instantly turned ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire fortune of a Domain Knight was a sum that would drive any Earl Family into a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glared at Raylo, as if trying to skewer the greedy young man with his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Raylo simply met his gaze calmly. The Silver Dragon on his shoulder gave a low growl from its throat, and the Space Young Dragon also bared its fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, like a deflated ball, Kade’s shoulders slumped in defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He untied an unremarkable Space Storage Pouch from his waist, slid a simple, ancient-looking Ring from his finger, and tossed them both to Raylo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything’s in there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo caught them and extended his Spiritual Power inside, sweeping through the contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Storage Pouch was piled high with an astonishing amount of Gold Coins and various Magic Crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the contents of the Ring made his heart skip a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were several chests of rare Magic Materials, a dozen or so High Tier Magic Cores, over a dozen High Tier Potions that were clearly priceless, a dozen or so pieces of Enchanted Equipment of various shapes and functions, and even a few Fighting Spirit Combat Manuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The collection of this veteran Domain Knight was truly richer than he could have imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pleasure doing business with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo put the Storage Pouch and Ring away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, we can discuss how you’re going to ’rescue’ His Highness Prince.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kade looked at him suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raylo laid out his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the early hours of the morning, I’ll have my men set fires on the west and east sides of the camp simultaneously to create a diversion. You’ll use the chaos to sneak into the third tent behind the central command tent. Karachi will be waiting for you there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s that simple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kade didn’t believe it for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s that simple,\" Raylo admitted frankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just need to stage a little drama—’Camp Attacked, Prince Abducted by a Mysterious Master’—so I have an explanation for Luke and the rest of the Allied Army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was logical and reasonable, leaving Kade with no holes to poke in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, don’t make too much of a scene. Grab him and retreat south immediately,\" Raylo instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My men will clear a path for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kade was silent for a moment, apparently processing the feasibility of the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things having come to this, he had no choice but to trust him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this is a trap...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kade’s figure began to blur, melting into the night, leaving only a final, cold sentence echoing across the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and your domain will face the endless hunt of a Domain Knight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1244,"2026-05-30T16:08:59.263Z","2026-06-01T04:31:39.774Z",1,"novelbin.me","25134cdf4174be91dfd4ae20662cd65c8c5fd6912a49cb46b71b86ed46545fb2","giant-dragon-lord-starting-from-daily-intelligen-chapter-214","giant-dragon-lord-starting-from-daily-intelligen-chapter-212",391,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgiant-dragon-lord-starting-from-daily-intelligen-cover.jpg"]
