Chapter 916: React
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
What happened in front of the Bay Law City police druids was an extremely serious attack on a n.o.ble castle. The death of an elite druid pushed the nature of this incident to a disaster level.
“I am Police Druid Hume. Don’t move and wait for our investigation!” Druid Hume yelled towards the ground on his white flying horse.
However, his face quickly took an ugly turn as he saw elite druid Poly. A rank 20 druid was not someone that 5 police could deal with. The most powerful one in their team was only rank 18.
Their power was enough to resolve most conflicts, but they knew their winning chance was low against druid Poly.
“I am the follower of master potion maker Bennett. We are investigating who attacked my master. Any elf who stops me will become our enemy!” Druid Poly yelled towards the sky, especially towards that red-cloaked police druid.
Druid Hume suddenly felt himself getting dizzy. Attacking a n.o.ble family and causing an elite druid’s death was serious, but attacking a Master Potion Maker in the city was a whole other level.
Bay law City was known as the most peaceful city in the Central Continent. Even small conflicts rarely occurred.
It has been at least 1000 years since a master potion maker was attacked. It was beyond anything the law could do.
He was the police, but he couldn’t even do anything to the potion maker union, let alone a master potion maker.
He waved his hand, and a member of his team flew back to the city to report. Hem lowered his flying mount on the ground with the 3 other members.
There was no longer a place to land on the castle of the Harmon family. The only thing left was a pile of debris, so they had to land outside the castle beside Druid Poly.
“Greeting Ms. Poly!” Druid Hume jumped down and bowed.
The other 3 druids also jumped down, but they did not make a sound.
“Druid Hume, this is Master Bennett!” Druid Poly frowned. This police Druid was digging a hole for himself. He didn’t greet Master Bennett even though he was standing by her side.
An embarra.s.sed look emerged on his face. He thought that the young druid beside her was her a.s.sistant, but the truth shocked all the druids, even those standing by the side.
“Master Bennett, I’m very sorry I did not notice you. Please forgive my ignorance!” Druid Hume immediately bowed.
“Druid Hume, if you need any information, just talk to Druid Poly!” Abel bowed back.
He didn’t know much about the city, so Druid Poly came in handy once again.
“Ms. Poly, please excuse me again. You said that the Harmon Family attacked master Bennett?” Druid Hume turned back and asked.
To be honest, he didn’t want to ask anything. But he had to. He had to know the details of the story. A more prestigious police druid would soon arrive, so he had to report the details.
“Druid Hume, Master Bennett’s castle in the city, was attacked. Master Bennett avoided the attack since he was in the potion maker union at the time, but all the servants and guards in his place were ma.s.sacred violently!” Druid Poly briefly explained.
Druid Hume looked towards master Bennett. He sensed that he was a rank 18 druid as well. He couldn’t help but twist his lips. Master Bennett luckily avoided the attack? Maybe those attackers were intentionally avoiding this scary master potion maker!
However, his attention quickly s.h.i.+fted, and he sighed. After all, only a big n.o.ble could unleash an attack in the city without triggering the city spirit.
“Ms. Poly, what evidence do you have to hold the Harmon family accountable?” Druid Hume asked again.
He had to know why Druid Poly was sure since it was the most important point of his report.
“Druid Hume, do you really need evidence?” Druid Poly lowered her voice.
Suddenly, powerful energy sifted out of her body, and the druids around her had difficulty breathing.
…
Back in the Bay Law city’s Harmon family, an elf in a black s.h.i.+rt bowed at Marquis Angelo.
“Marquis Honour, I saw Ms. Poly and that Druid Bennett you mentioned riding a carriage from the potion maker union outside of the mansion you mentioned. They then sped out the city on wolves!”
He was sent over to stand outside of Abel’s mansion to see the look on Abel’s face when Abel discovered the ma.s.sacre in his mansion. This way, he could report back to Marquis Angelo and satisfy Marquis Angelo’s thirst for revenge.
He did not know Abel was an elite druid, and he was up for a good show.
However, he was not expecting the potion maker union to get involved at all.
“Is Ms. Poly the rank 20 Druid Poly?” Marquis Angelo lowered his voice.
He wouldn’t believe it, but he didn’t feel too good when he heard the respectful and admiring tone in the back s.h.i.+rt Druid’s voice when he said the name Ms. Poly.
“Yes, it is the powerful Ms. Druid poly!” The black s.h.i.+rt elf bowed.
Marquis Angelo felt his heart drop. His head began to spin. He had raised to the status of a judge among all the n.o.bles. He couldn’t be this stupid.
“You can go now!” he waved his hand to the black s.h.i.+rt elf and said.
“Yes, master!” The black s.h.i.+rt elf bowed. However, the moment he turned, an arrow shot out from Marquis Angelo.
Marquis Angelo took a deep breath. The arrow landed on the left shoulder of the elf. He hadn’t expected Marquis Angelo to kill him at all.
That black s.h.i.+rt elf was not kind-hearted either. He was also preparing a move as he turned, but he dropped on the ground before even initiating anything.
His face was filled with confusion. why Marquis Angelo would do such a thing.
“You know too much!” Marquis Angelo lowered his voice.
He then stepped over the dead body and quickly walked to his office. He pulled on a book on the shelf, and the shelf began to move, exposing a secret chamber.
It was not a normal secret chamber. All his wealth was located, and it has a secret path that leads to a normal courtyard not owned by the Harmon family.
It was his last resort. He sensed immense danger, so he decided to go into hide out until things were settled.
His family already abandoned him, so he could only rely on himself. His family had too many things to deal with anyway.
…..
In the central palace of the kingdom, Queen Luisa was about to leave for lunch.
“Luisa Majesty, Master Muir, and Master Nolan want to see you!” a guard stepped in and bowed.
“The masters are looking for me?” She felt confused, but she continued, “invite them in!”
The masters quickly stepped into the palace, but they were not looking good. Instead, their faces were a little furious.
After hearing what Druid Gunter said about Master Bennett, they immediately came to the palace.
“Master Muir, Master Nolan, what brings you here today?” Queen Luisa said with a smile.
“Queen Luisa, I’m here for master Bennett’s incident. His mansion in the city was just attacked. His steward and all 3 of his guards were killed!” Master Muir bowed.
“What?” The smile on Queen Luisa’s face immediately vanished. She quickly stood up and called, “is master Bennett ok?”
She couldn’t help it. She knew what a genius master potion maker represents. Abel had become a master purely through his ability, and he still had a long way to go considering how young he was.
At the same time, she saw the face of Master Nola. Master Nolan’s return to youth touched her innermost desire, so master Bennett had to be protected.
“Master Bennett is not in his mansion at the time, but attacking the place of a master potion maker, especially in the kingdom’s city, is unacceptable, so I hope the Queen can bring Justin to the situation!” master Nolan bowed.
“Of course. We can not let the attacker go easily!” Queen Luisa let out a breath of relief as long as master Bennett was ok. She then turned back and said, “Mr. Lendo, please investigate this!”
The only thing behind Queen Luisa was a flat wall. There was no elf.
“Yes, my majesty!” An old raspy voice emerged from the wall, and an old elf in a green robe walked out.
Queen Luisa bowed, Master Nolan and Master Muir followed.
It was the respect for a big Druid, but it also showed how serious the queen was treating this situation.
How many big druids there were in the kingdom was a secret, but there was always one big druid on guard in the main palace to ensure the safety of the queen.
“A master potion maker is the elve’s most important recourses. A threat to them is a threat to the elves!” Big druid Lendo said in a weighty low voice. A cold gaze flashed from his face.
He had the highest authority within the kingdom’s spirit, and he could directly investigate everything that happened in the city through it. On top of that, his powerful power of the will could speed up the process even more.
He took out an ident.i.ty card and reached in with his power of the will. Soon, he was connected with the kingdom’s spirit.
“The Harmon family covered up the attack on Master Bennett with their political power!” Druid Lendo lowered his voice.
“The Harmon family… Are they crazy?”Queen Luisa frowned. They were a n.o.ble family with a history in the kingdom. She always respected them. Even in the Marquis Angelo incident, she only targeted Marquis Angelo, not the Harmon family.
“Majesty, Marquis Angelo, just let what happened slide. He had to move the Harmon family!” Druid Lendo didn’t want to get involved with politics. He didn’t belong in this system in the first place, but he still had to say something.
“Mr. Lendo. I’ll leave it up to you. The Harmon family has powerful elite druids supporting them!” Queen Luisa shook her head. Since the Harmon family had made a move on Master Bennett, she not only had to face Master Bennett but the entire potion maker union as well. The Harmon family was finished.
Due to the countless years of wealth acc.u.mulation, those big n.o.bles always had some elite druids to back them up. The Harmon Family was no exception, and they would definitely fight back in the queen to try to end their family.
“Yes, your majesty!” Druid Lendo connected to the city circle and began moving its energy. Soon its body vanished from the palace.
Things were peaceful as always in the Harmon family. Head Master Harmon was drinking a gla.s.s of wine and leisurely reading a book.
Although Marquis Angelo was a big embarra.s.sment to the family, he knew nothing would happen as long as the queen was by their side. The most it would happen was a little loss of benefits.
As he was pouring the wine into his mouth, strange energy suddenly flashed. All the elves in the Harmon family froze.
Afterward, red flashes of light emerged in his family. They were law enforcement druids and warriors. They charged into the buildings and began to drag out the frozen elves.
