Chapter 71 - Big Incident
Chapter 71: Big Incident
Late at night, the loud noises from a magic store in the Dark Moon City awoke the nearby demons. The shouts followed could be heard by almost the entire street, Royce! You dare to destroy Young Master Alans plan! Today, Ill ruin this magic store!
In a distance, Royces angry voice was sounded, Mikas!
Mikas who destroyed the magic store heard the voice, and he didnt dare to fight and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When Royce rushed to the magic store, the surviving lich, Grougis pointed in fear at the direction where Mikas escaped to.
After some time.
At the city gate, Mikas high-speed running figure stopped. Ganke was Alans subordinate, so he naturally recognized the Karon Familys Higher Demon. Right after Ganke shouted Sir Mikas, he saw Mikas threw over a space bracelet in front of other soldiers, and he quickly caught it.
I was blocked by Royce on my way back. Immediately pass that to Young Master Alan! Within it are the items I stole from the magic store
Before Mikas could finish his words, Royces voice sounded from behind, Mikas, you dumbass; Im going to kill you!
Mikas had no time to say more; his figure moved and ran forward like wind, disappearing beyond the city gate. Ganke just kept the bracelet, then he saw Royces figure appeared instantly before him and he was shocked. Fortunately, Royce was eager to catch Mikas, so he didnt pay attention to such minor character. Royce as well, moved his body slightly and disappeared on the spot.
Some time passed again.
Royce appeared at the city gate with a dispirited look, and there were also a few wounds on his body, then he disappeared instantly again.
Ganke had rushed to Alans mansion and gave the space bracelet to Alan. Alan opened it and saw a lot of magic equipment. After listening to Gankes story, he was wondering: Wasnt Mikas going after Aguile? How did he have a dispute with Royce? Are these things robbed from the magic store? Yet, Mikas did a good job. There are two expensive magic equipments of superior quality that are not for sale. I have been eyeing on them for a long time; he actually got it for me this time. It seems that he is really tactful. Its just that Joseph isnt around in the Dark Moon, what should I do to settle this mess?
Right at that moment, a strange metallic voice sounded from the entrance, The guy from the Karon Family! Get out now!
A succubus came to report in a rush, This is bad! Young Master Alan, Arux and Royce are fighting their way here with Sir Mikas corpse.
Mikas is dead! The news shocked Alan shocked. He felt that things were getting increasingly strange, but he couldnt figure it out at once. He hit the table furiously, Damn, can someone tell me whats happening?
Tonight was destined to be a lively, sleepless night.
Early the next morning, the entire Dark Moon City was enthusiastically discussing the series of big events that happened last night.
Yesterday evening, a shocking event happened at the arena. No. 64, Aguile defeated Reka and publicly exposed the ugly act of cheating between Sheriff Alan and Balrog, Reka. As a result, Reka was killed by Arux who was the arenas owner. Arux then announced an astonishing news that after a month, Aguile would directly challenge Arux him.
However, these were only the beginning of the shock. When Aguile left the arena, he was retaliated by Alan; he was chased by the Karon Familys Higher Demon, Mikas. At that time, the financial officer, Joseph Alvins subordinate, Royce bumped into them. As his good friend, Arux publicly announced the challenge after a month, Royce prevented Mikas from killing Aguile.
No one expected Mikas would use his flame to poison Royce when he wasnt paying attention. At that time, Aguile had taken the opportunity to escape. Mikas failed to catch up Aguile, so he took his anger out on Royces magic store. He destroyed the magic store and stole everything. Royce, who was furious couldnt bother about the poison, chased Mikas all the way to the outside of the city and killed Mikas. Also, previously when Mikas was passing the city gate, he passed the space bracelet with all the treasures robbed from the magic store to Alan through Ganke. This could be proven by all the guarding soldiers.
Royce who was poisoned went to Arux. They carried Mikas corpse and fought their way to Alans mansion, hurting many people. Even the most powerful Higher Demon, Sarado of the Karon Family was alarmed. Sarado and Arux battled fiercely and both were heavily damaged eventually. Royce and Arux returned to the arena to recover while Sarado retrieved Mikas body. Now, their relationship was extremely tensed.
When Mikas was destroying the magic store last night, if it wasnt for Royces timely arrival, the lich, Grougis in the store would almost be killed. Many residents in the vicinity also heard the noise of destruction and Royces furious roar. Many people could vividly describe the situation at that time. Some even described as if they witnessed the battle between Mikas and Royce. As for the subsequent battle of Sarado and Arux, there were even more witnesses. Now, shocking traces of battle could still be seen around the area around Sheriff Alans mansion.
The two biggest forces in the city were at daggers drawn, and it might even escalate to war at any time. As the lord of Dark Moon, Princess Royal, Shea naturally couldnt sit and not do anything. She specifically made Gauss mediate, and she warned them not to fight on a large-scale in the city.
In fact, the happiest party was the one that tried to mediate. When the despicable Old Gauss tried to mediate, he also appropriately used certain wordings that, on the surface, was to limit the two parties, but in reality, it was to instigate quietly.
Chen Rui who had been busy the entire night didnt return to the lab to rest, but he appeared in the council hall of the palace.
Chen Rui? Shea hadnt seen him for a month. There was a hint of joy in her eyes. She nodded and said, You came. Did you hear about the big incident last night? That is truly a godsend opportunity!
Why does Princess Royal also believe in godsend opportunity? I would rather believe that its someones effort. Even the legendary goddess of luck will always care for those who are prepared. Chen Rui smiled slightly, Im here today to report two important things to Princess Royal.
Shea was really clever; she faintly understood the meaning behind Chen Ruis words. The sudden conflict between Alan and Joseph actually had an inside story. Her eyes had a weird brilliance when she thought of Chen Ruis plan of letting them fighting against each other, then she remained calm later, Do speak.
Chen Rui looked serious, Princess Royal, please forgive me for asking a rude question. Would you trust me entirely?
You have already gotten my trust. Shea frowned slightly, Is there something that you want to say.
Thats good, Chen Rui nodded. I want to introduce someone to you. He may not meet you, but please trust him as much as you trust me.
Who?
The actual protagonist of last nights incident, Aguile!
The actual protagonist! Shea was extremely shocked. The cause of yesterdays incident was because No. 64, Aguile publicly exposed Alans dirty plan at the arena. Yet, it later developed into the fight between the 2 huge forces. Without these follow-up events, Aguile who challenged Arux one month later would become the new focus of Dark Moon City. However, Aguile was only a small character in this huge incident now.
From Chen Ruis tone, Aguile was the actual key person in last nights incident! Almost everyone overlooked that!
As long as Princess Royal can understand it, then its fine. The second thing is also discovered by Aguile. Princess Royal may already know that Cloak Gang has replaced Silva. He has discovered another important thing about the Blue Lava Estate. I hope Princess Royal can stay calm after listening.
Blue Lava Estate? Shea was a bit curious. When she heard Chen Rui saying that Silva was smuggling demons to the Blue Lava Estate and she saw the badge that could safely pass the bandits, she suddenly stood up; there was an uncontrollable wrath flashed through her eyes, Blue Lava Lord, Teton once angered the Lord of Midnight Sun, and he was almost deprived of his estate and family name. Fortunately, my father, Grimm pleaded and reassured, so he was excused from his punishment. After my father died, he even expressed his support for me more than once. I never thought he actually does such a shady business at the back!
Princess Royal, please calm down! Chen Rui stood up and said respectfully, The Dark Moon is in a bad situation now; you cant make a move recklessly; we must be patient! On the surface, we have to maintain our relationship with the Blue Lava and solve the most important food problem as soon as possible. As for the bandits at the south, they can be annihilated at an appropriate time
Chen Rui glanced at Shea who had gradually calmed down and threw the badge in his hand, This thing should be useful when the time comes.
Shea nodded slightly and asked, Hows your grand master test?
Its half done. Although there is still danger ahead, the progress is still generally smooth. The actual test is at the end. I can properly rest in these 2 days. The injury on Chen Ruis right chest was quite serious. Although he took the Jade Pear and Healing Potion, he only slept for a few hours last night, so it hadnt fully recovered. Yet, with the passive ability <Astral Form>, it should be completely cured in two days.
By the way, the magic powder is very amazing. The young dwarfs ability is also not bad. After improving the poor-quality soil with the magic powder, crops can actually be planted successfully. Not only it shortens the maturity period by several folds, but the production has also increased greatly. Ive made Gauss select a remote wasteland at the edge of the estate and begin to grow crops on a large scale. Once its successful, the Dark Moon can solve the biggest problem that lasts for thousands of years. We might even turn from a barren estate to the empires biggest breadbasket. Its just that were lack of that magic dust. Can you continue to make more?
Is it? I just made a lot of magic dust as spare. Ill arrange them and send them to the palace later. That sentence obviously had the suspicion of showing off his accomplishments.
Seeing Chen Rui going through the dangerous inheritance trial, but he still didnt forget to produce the magic powder, Sheas eyes were filled with admiration. She then said, Also, your plan is quite excellent. Alices Princess Retail Stores business is amazing. The burr puzzle alone was sold for 50,000 black crystal coins. If you need money, you can tell me as half of this money is yours.
Chen Rui shook his head, Its fine. I still have enough. The Dark Moon is in urgent need of funding for development. Princess Royal can rest assured to use the money how ever you want to.
That was an actual truth as the huge amount of money he got from Silva was barely touched!
Shea looked at Chen Rui, didnt say much and nodded lightly.
Aguile has offended Alan this time. Im thinking if Princess Royal can provide appropriate shelter for the Cloak Gang. For future planning, Cloak Gang is likely to become an important chess piece.
Shea pondered for a while and shook her head resolutely, Unfortunately, I cant trust this person.
