Chapter 314
Disappointment
“Good morning, Lord Bennett!” Said Derek in a little bit of shock upon seeing the large number of ptions on the table and dead bodies on the floor after he entered.
“Derek, this is a Druid. Today, he and 7 commander level warriors had attacked me. My coachman Archies has died!” Said Abel pointing at that dead body.
“Lord Bennett, are you ok?” Derek quickly asked. He knew Abel’s relations.h.i.+p with young master Lorainne if someone had happened to him, Grand Duke Edwina would definitely be very angry.
“I’m ok. I’ve killed everyone who attacked me, and I brought this dead body back. This time, can the Grand Ducal Palace help me find out who was the one who sent them?” Abel sounded a little bit irritated. He emphasized the words “this time”, so Derek and the Grand Ducal Palace could clearly understand him.
A sense of horror flashed upon Derek’s eyes. A Druid and 7 commander level elven warrior was like the military power of a medium-sized city, but they had all killed by this rank 3 Master Bennett.
What kind of power was he hiding? Derek thought to himself as he lifted up the hood of that black-cloaked Druid. His face changed only for a split second, but of course, that could not escape the gaze of Abel.
“You know him, Derek?” Abel asked like he didn’t care.
Derek was caught a little off guard, but he still replied quickly, “No, no I don’t!”
“Just take this dead body back with you!” Said Abel, waving his hand. He then pointed towards the 200 bottles of potions on the table and followed, “These are the potions Grand Duke Edwina had requested. Take them with you as well!”
“Brewer, help me send the guest off!” Said Abel as he turned and went upstairs.
Derek’s face changed after he realized Abel’s s.h.i.+ft in att.i.tude. He quickly packed up the potions and the dead body on his carriage and speeded back to The Grand Ducal Palace to report to Grand Duke Edwina.
Not long after Abel went back to his room, he pressed on the calling bell. Soon, Brewer’s voice emerged from outside the door, “Master, do you need me?”
Afterward, Abel came out of his room and said to Brewer “Invite Bernie to come here, did you send Derek off?”
“Master, Steward Derek had left!” Brewer said with a bow.
Abel nodded and followed “Ok, quickly send someone to search for where Bernie is living and report back to me. Off you go!” He had already expressed his intention. Now it just came down to how the Grand Ducal Palace wanted to react.
In the Grand Ducal Palace, Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert were sitting in the hall while Derek reported to them what had just occurred with that dead Druid on the ground.
“Did you find out the ident.i.ty of this Druid?” Grand Duke Edwina’s gaze brushed upon the dead Druid in anger.
“Master, This is Begro City’s Blood Yan!” Steward Derek was involved with a lot of the transactions between the two cities. He was familiar with the Druids in Begro City, so of course, he would know about the scariest Blood Yan.
“This is Blood Yan, the disciple of Francisco?” Grand Duke Edwina stood up and walked towards the dead body. As the disciple of Begro City’s ruler Grand Duke Francisco, the glorious Blood Yan was a battle thirsty fighter. He was a regular in all kinds of missions, killed countless enemies, and was good at using fire attacks. That’s why he was known as Blood Yan among the elves.
Grand Duke Edwina had become furious; she roared, “What is Fransisco trying to do. He has the guts to send elves in my city to attack my Master Alchemist?”
Now the ident.i.ty of this dead Druid had been exposed; anyone could guess who organized this attack. Other than Prince Adolf, who else would have the power to do so?
Prince Adolf was the son of another city’s ruler, so even if he was captured on the spot, Grand Duke Edwina had to go through Grand Duke Francisco to solve this problem. If she had prosecuted the only inheritance of Begro City directly, it could cause a war Immediately.
“Did you say Bennett was not in a good mood?” Asked Duke Albert from aside.
“Yes, Master. Lord Bennett was already a little unhappy about the Dark Elves’ attack time. If we don’t give him a good explanation about this as well, maybe he will be disappointed in the Grand Ducal Palace!” Derek said with a bow.
“In regards to the dark elves…” Duke Albert was a little hesitant. At the end of the investigation, he discovered that it had to do with the investigation department of Begro City as well. But this was like a secret of both cities since Angstrom city had some of their investigation department in Begro City as well. They did not have concrete evidence anyway, and they could not explain to Abel about this in detail.
“Since we didn’t give Bennett a proper explanation for the Dark Elves’ attack and this time we are certain that it was done by Begro City’s investigation department, let’s just chop off their heads and give it to Bennett.” The gaze of Grand Duke Edwina looked cold. This could be a good excuse to whip out that annoying Begro City investigation department.
In regards to Prince Adolf, all his evidence had to go through the benefits of Grand Duke Fransisco. Therefore as a royal, he wouldn’t have much to lose.
“I’m just afraid Bennett will try to resolve this himself!” Since Derek was there, Duke Albert did not explain too much, but Grand Duke Edwina knew exactly what he meant.
The Duchy of Keyen became a third-tier Duchy after they had attacked Abel’s family. If Wizards from Miracle City did not help them, their entire city might have fallen already.
However, Begro City was a supergiant city; it had the most well-rounded protection circle as well as an immensely powerful army. Maybe before Abel even had the chance to attack, he would be locked down by the protection circle or killed by the guards.
“He’s not this stupid; we will not do something impossible!” Said Grand Duke Edwina in certainty while shaking her head.
Although Derek didn’t know what was really going, he could tell that both of his masters were very certain of Lord Bennett’s ability.
That day’s afternoon, Derek and 10 elven guards had arrived at Lambe road and requested to see Abel.
“Lord Bennett, the Grand Ducal Palace had already found out who was responsible for the attack, and we had killed all 28 of them!”Derek said to Abel with a bow. Afterward, he waved his hand, and the 10 elf guards opened the boxes in their hands on the floor one by one.
The 28 boxes were filled with heads of elves, filling up the living room with a smell of blood. Abel carelessly gazed upon the heads on the floor. There was not a single emotion on his face, only a cold smirk on the corner of his mouth.
That morning after Derek left, he searched that black-cloaked Druid’s portal bag again, since anyone who could be recognized by Derek must have some kind of status.
From this, he discovered 2 things. One was the name of this druid. He found a letter with the name ‘Blood Yen’ addressed on it. The second was a City magic Circle control card. Although the connection had already been cut off, the marking of Begro City was still visible. Therefore, these things suggested that this druid called Blood Yen must be a very high-status elf in Begro City.
Afterward, Abel took a trip of the Alchemy Union and found out that Blood Yen was actually a disciple of Begro City’s ruler Grand Duke Francisco. This explained why a beginner druid would have so many magic scrolls, especially that scary ‘Volcano’ Magic scroll.
Anyone with a brain could be able to guess who was the actual man behind all of this. There could only be one person in Angstrom City who could command the disciple of Grand Duke Francisco. Now it seemed like Grand Ducal Palace just wanted to put this attack to rest by killing a bunch of scapegoats.
