These were elemental creatures … Liang Lidong took two steps back. When the shadows lunged at him, he suddenly threw a Flash scroll to the ground and closed his eyes. Thud, thud.
An intense flash of light broke through the surrounding darkness, and the shadows howled miserably as they retreated and flew away.
Although Flash wasn't an offensive light spell, it still caused great damage to these shadows. However, because the dark elemental creatures had the ability to regenerate, they would soon be regenerated and attack again even though Flash temporarily repelled them.
These dark elemental creatures weren't strong individually, but they were quite troublesome when eight of them gathered together. Two fists couldn't defeat four hands, and if one wanted to deal with eight enemies at the same time, one had to have a strong reaction and strong defense.
However, these were precisely the weaknesses of the Divine Nobles. Although Liang Lidong had Fog Manipulation, it didn't work on elemental creatures, because elemental creatures perceived the world with mental power instead of sight and hearing.
Liang Lidong didn't have many Flash scrolls, so he had to come up with a way to crack the magic seal before the dark elemental creatures surrounded him again.
However, such a large magic seal was generally very complicated, and it was almost impossible to crack it in a short time.
Liang Lidong guessed that this was the enemy's plan — to lure the enemy into a trap and trap them with the magic seal. Then, they could deploy their troops to besiege or kill the enemy.
These eight dark elemental creatures weren't strong, but they were good at stalling for time. After all, they could infinitely regenerate.
If an ordinary professional entered such a magic seal, it would be difficult for him to escape without the strength of a Legendary. After all, all the magic seals and barriers had been set up.
However, Liang Lidong was different. He had a deep understanding of magic, and more importantly, he had a magic pet.
As the half body of the spellcaster, the magic pet had most of the master's knowledge. Joan Of Arc flew in midair. Seeing the magic seal on the ground and the disconnection between it and its master, it knew that its master had fallen into a trap.
It tried to shoot two Air Bullets at the magic seal. But there was no effect at all.
Since brute force was not an option, he had to use other methods. According to the knowledge provided by his master, there would definitely be small magic gears nearby that could be switched on and off.
As long as he found that mechanism. With that, he could easily shut down the magic array.
The eagle's eyes were very sharp. At a height of hundreds of meters, it could see small rabbits running on the ground. Now that Joan Of Arc had become a magic pet, her strength had greatly increased. Now, she could see small bugs crawling on the ground from a height of hundreds of meters.
It hovered in the air, searching the land around the magic array inch by inch. It did not want to let go of even the slightest clue.
It was very anxious because this was the first time it had seen its master in real danger. Furthermore, he had fallen into a trap.
Although it was very anxious, it did not let go of any suspicious places. Occasionally, there would be flashes of light in the magic formation below. It knew that this was a sign that its master was fighting.
As time passed, Joan Of Arc's heart became more and more nervous. It did not see anything suspicious in the vicinity at all.
Now that more than two hours had passed, it knew that its master's life was not in danger for the time being, because it was still alive … The life of a magic pet and its master were closely related. If its master died, the magic pet would also die.
All creatures were afraid of death. Joan Of Arc was also afraid. After gaining wisdom, it was even more afraid.
But now it was more worried about its master's safety than itself.
The enemy's reinforcements had arrived. It had even seen a fire dragon coming from the direction of the mayor's mansion. Judging from the intensity of the torches, there were at least three hundred people.
Although its master's fog magic was very powerful, it would still be difficult to escape if it was surrounded by hundreds of people.
It became more and more anxious and was about to go over and harass these enemies by itself. But also at this moment, it saw a man in black running to a place not far from the magic seal and burrowing into the tree hole of a big tree.
Found it. Joan Of Arc shot into the tree hole like a golden light, and then two screams came from inside, followed by bursts of magic explosions.
Liang Lidong threw away the last scroll … He had already figured out something. This magic seal was composed of three basic points. As long as one of the basic points was broken, the magic formation would dissipate.
But the problem now was that the enemy would not give him that much time to think, and he had used up all the Flash scrolls.
Was it time to fight?
Liang Lidong looked at the few dark elemental creatures around him. If he had to deal with them, it was not that he couldn't beat them, but that the price to pay would be too high.
A few dark creatures gradually surrounded him. Liang Lidong shook his hand, and two magic scrolls appeared in his hand.
The dark creatures immediately stopped when they saw this. The previous few Flash spells made them quite embarrassed, and now they had a certain degree of fear of magic.
But exactly at this moment, the magic seal suddenly became unstable. It twisted and flickered for a few times, and then suddenly exploded into pieces of magic energy all over the sky. Seeing this, the dark elemental creatures immediately turned into a few shadows and fled quickly, sticking close to the ground.
At this moment, Joan Of Arc's worried voice came through the mental channel. "Master, are you all right?"
The mental channel was re-established. Liang Lidong was relieved. "Joan Of Arc, did you destroy the magic formation? Thank you. "
Joan Of Arc flew down from the sky and landed on Liang Lidong's shoulder.
She had lost a lot of feathers, and there was a slight wound on her beak. She must have gone through a tough battle.
"Now is not the time to talk about these things." Joan Of Arc shook her body and said, "A lot of soldiers are coming from the head's residence, probably more than three hundred. You should get out of here. Also, I don't have much strength left, and I can't fly far. Take me away. "
Liang Lidong nodded. If it weren't for Joan Of Arc, things would've been a lot more troublesome. It seemed that he had indeed chosen Pet Specialization correctly. Now that Joan Of Arc was getting stronger and stronger, she would be able to stand on her own after two or three more levels.
Liang Lidong activated Mist Manipulation again. He left this place.
By the time he returned to Toth Manor, it was already dawn. Hardly had he entered the villa when Emma came out of her room, her clothes neat. She must've stayed up all night.
"How did it go? Are you hurt?" Emma looked up and down at Liang Lidong.
Although it was indeed thrilling, Liang Lidong wasn't hurt at all. Joan Of Arc didn't like to communicate with outsiders. She flapped her wings and flew to Liang Lidong's bed. She rolled herself in the quilt and fell asleep.
For a magical beast, the best way to recuperate was to sleep.
Liang Lidong sat down, drank some water, and recounted what happened. Then he said, "If the chairman of the chamber of commerce wasn't lying, and the two elves were thrown onto the street by the mayor, then why would he do that and deliberately attract the revenge of Nature's Wrath? It doesn't make sense. "
Emma thought for a moment and said, "Is that Edward lying?"
Liang Lidong shook his head. "I'm very confident in my judgment of people. That Edward is already scared out of his wits. There's no way he would lie. And it's meaningless for him to push the blame to the mayor, because that magic seal locked him up too. If he was the mastermind, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing. "
Emma shook her head. "Then what should we do now?"
"You go to sleep first, and in three or four hours, you and I will go to the mayor's residence." Liang Lidong said calmly, "Since the situation is unclear, the easiest way is to ask ourselves."
Emma didn't understand, but she didn't ask. She obediently went back to her room to sleep.
She was so worried last night that she couldn't sleep at all. She was much more at ease now that they were back. She fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.
About three hours later, both Liang Lidong and Emma appeared in the living room. Breakfast was made by Julie this time, and it tasted pretty good. After Liang Lidong finished his breakfast, he told the others about what happened last night.
Under everyone's slightly surprised gaze, he said, "Things are getting stranger and stranger now. The mayor's residence seems to be doing something, secretly fighting with some force, and we're already involved. "
"It would've been best to leave directly, but we have to get Kail's armor." Liang Lidong was somewhat helpless. "So we have to continue acting with the mayor's residence, be used by him, or use him in turn. Later, Emma and I will go talk to the mayor directly. Kail and Alice, you two follow us quietly, and if anything happens, you two come directly to support the battle. "
"Joshua and Julie, you two stay in the manor. After we leave, the manor's protective magic array will be activated. No one other than us is allowed to turn off the magic array's mechanism. Understood?"
Everyone nodded. Joshua really wanted to follow Kail and the others. He also wanted to participate in the battle, but when he thought of his strength and that he might be a burden to his friends, he gave up.
Half an hour later, Liang Lidong and Emma set off in a carriage.
This carriage originally belonged to the Tao family, but because almost all of the Tao family members were dead, and because Joshua and Julie were covered in abscesses, they had no place to go at all, so the carriage had been left in the warehouse, accumulating a layer of dust.
Yesterday, Julie pulled the carriage out, wiped it clean, and went to the market to buy some old horses.
Because warhorses were military supplies, they couldn't be bought from the market. There were old horses for pulling carriages for sale, which meant that the goods here in Sisilia were already very complete.
Liang Lidong drove, Emma sat in the carriage, and the two leisurely arrived at the mayor's residence.
The person in charge of guarding the door was still the same guard. When he saw Liang Lidong, he didn't ask anything this time, and went straight into the manor to report. Then he quickly came out and said that the mayor was waiting for the two of them in the study.
The Brook family was still the same. Looking at the golden fences and the golden bricks used to pave the ground, Liang Lidong suddenly had some interest … His creed had always been not to cause trouble, but if someone provoked him, he didn't mind fighting back.
For example, if he secretly moved some of this gold away, he didn't know how angry Izza would be.
But he had to choose the right time, or it would be very troublesome.
The two of them walked through the golden brick path, entered the villa, and then walked to the study on the third floor.
The mayor was giving instructions about the internal affairs. He raised his head and looked at Liang Lidong and Emma. He smiled and said, "You two must have some good news this time."
Seeing that Mayor Izza didn't mention anything about what happened last night, Liang Lidong smiled and said, "Indeed, didn't the mayor ask us to find out who threw the two elves onto the street? Now we have the answer."
"Oh, let's hear it." The mayor was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled happily. "I didn't expect you to act so fast."
"We have our own intelligence system, and we're the best at gathering information like this." Liang Lidong lied casually. "But the news is a bit surprising, and I'm worried that you might not be able to accept it."
The mayor laughed loudly, and then pretended to be angry. "How is that possible? You underestimate me, sir. No matter what, when I was young, I was a mercenary for a period of time. Although I didn't make much of a name for myself, I'm definitely not any worse than you in terms of accepting things. "
"Then I'll be straightforward." Liang Lidong sat up straight, and there was a strange smile on his face. "Last night, we found some clues and caught a suspicious person. From him, we found out some very surprising things. The person who threw the two naked elves on the street and attracted Nature's Wrath is actually someone you know, sir. Very well."
"Who is it?" Izza didn't laugh anymore, and his face was serious. He looked a bit intimidating without being angry.
"Your eldest son, Lance!"
"What? How could it be him!" The mayor slammed the table and stood up. He stared at Liang Lidong angrily. "What do you mean, Mr. Beta?"
Emma turned her head and looked at Liang Lidong. She really didn't expect him to talk in this way.
"Didn't you ask us to find the murderer?" Liang Lidong spread his hands. "We woke up. Lance was the one who did it."
Izza asked with a dark face, "He's my son. How could he do such a thing? Sisilia is his home, after all. He has no reason to do this."
Liang Lidong leaned forward slightly, and his Aristocratic Temperament talent was activated. "Mayor, I'm also curious about this. Sisilia is your home, after all. The Brook family has been operating here for at least hundreds of years. Why did you suddenly destroy it? What's the reason?"
The City Lord narrowed his eyes, and there was some anger on his face. He could tell that Liang Lidong wasn't asking Lance, but he was asking himself.
Why attract enemies to destroy your own home?
