Your assigned mission has arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one speaking to Rein is an old acquaintance, Anthony, the head of reception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Rein realize that the other also held the position of deputy of the task hall affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? Assigned mission? So soon? I just reported three days ago, and a task has already been assigned today? By regulations, isn’t it once every three months?\" Rein raised an eyebrow, looking at Anthony with a hint of displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... It’s an order from above. The rule is indeed to complete a task once every three months, but it does not specify which day within the three months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony chuckled awkwardly as he explained, pointing upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, the room plunged into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein couldn’t be clearer; he’s being targeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for who is behind this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are several possibilities, but the most likely suspect is the Drum Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the specifics of the mission?\" After a while, Rein asked, noticing Anthony’s somewhat flickering gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... Lord Rein, here’s the detailed mission content, ha ha.\" Anthony chuckled sheepishly as he quickly handed a stack of documents to Rein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon flipping through, the first thing that caught his eye was an entirely black, fierce Flying Dragon on the cover page, looking extremely similar to a Giant Dragon but much smaller in size, measuring only twelve meters in length according to the side notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below are extensive details: ’Poison Liquid Flying Dragon’... Nome Province... Estimated strength: Legendary Peak...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Legendary Peak? Lord Anthony, do you also think this assigned mission suits someone like me, who just arrived at headquarters?\" Rein said with a sarcastic smile, glancing at Anthony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... ha ha, perhaps it’s because above they know Lord Rein is talented and gifted...\" Anthony wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief while racking his brain for words of praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows very well there’s an issue here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This task of killing the Poison Liquid Flying Dragon is one of the highest difficulty missions at the Sword Holder Headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any more challenging than this, and it would be epic-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such targets are dealt with by the Imperial Guardian, not the Sword Holders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if I refuse?\" Rein said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord... Lord Rein, you’re joking. Refusing an assigned mission leads to disciplinary action.\" Anthony’s face changed as he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll take it on. However, I need to recruit team members, it’ll take some time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rein nodded, reluctantly agreeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, upon seeing the task target was a dragon-type creature, he inwardly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although unaware of the intentions of those behind the scenes, if the task involves a dragon-type creature, Rein would voluntarily apply to complete this mission even if they hadn’t arranged it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s known his Dragon Bloodline can only be further enhanced by extracting the Blood Essence of powerful dragon-type creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger, the better!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Certainly! You can depart at the latest within three days. We have dedicated airships at headquarters that can reach the destination directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Rein’s departing figure, Anthony couldn’t help but shake his head in regret, \"What a pity, such a talented young man, ending up offending those above.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself is caught in circumstances; if he disobeys orders from above, his position could be revoked in minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Greenwood’s room at the Sword Holder Headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did he accept?\" Greenwood asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He accepted.\" Nathan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good, haha. Now it’s impossible for him to back out, so the task is half successful.\" Greenwood excitedly slapped the armrest of his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had considered what to do if Rein refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he believed the likelihood of Rein refusing was slightly higher than accepting the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this task is quite troublesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly is the task?\" Mia, seeing Greenwood so happy and confident, couldn’t help but ask curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill the Poison Liquid Flying Dragon!\" Greenwood said with a hint of pride, enunciating each word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?! Isn’t this one of the most difficult tasks at headquarters?!\" Chandler, beside him, was also shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected Greenwood to use the high-level connections at headquarters to assign such a task to Rein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is simply... too unfair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but silently mourn for Rein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man from a small town wanting to make a name for himself better follow orders obediently; otherwise, it’s truly seeking doom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do Chandler and I need to do anything further?\" Mia inquired while tossing her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>",902,"2026-06-05T17:04:27.312Z",1,"novelbin.me","aee1df3862fde18b8d87689ff2c928afb7b6f4aa1c285fd806e19d4805e0ddb1","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-1098","wizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-chapter-1096",1660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-starting-from-shoeing-donkeys-cover.jpg"]
