Chapter 944 - Information
Chapter 944: Information
It had been a peaceful few days for Abel. Although there were some wizard organizations asking him to make potions for them from time to time, they mostly just directly sent their 5 portions of ingredients to the portion maker union according to the usual process.
However, the peace was not being enjoyed by all elves.
In Bay Law City, a group of red-cloaked researchers stood around a desk in a big office frantically flipping around lambskin parchments.
Behind them was an almost endless amount of wooden shelves. They were the history of New Asia.
Originally this information was taken care of by the city spirit, but the experienced researchers trusted their eyes more.
To avoid losing data if a problem had occurred in the city spirit, they had made a copy of everything with a lambskin parchment.
At that moment, the researchers looked through the details of every elf living in the city, hoping to find a problem.
The tree of life said there was an unknown danger, so they had to double down on their investigation even though the city remained calm on the surface.
Since the city spirit did not report any suspicious activity, they began to doubt if there was a problem.
They trusted the tree of life. Its place in the elves’ heart was on par with the goddess of the moon.
All the most experienced researchers had come to this room and began to look through the years of documents.
“Moody, did you find anything?” A female researcher named Casey sighed.
“Casey, can’t you see that captain is still working?” Researcher Moody carefully looked at the captain at the end of the desk and whispered.
They had been here for a few days without any result. They didn’t even have a target. It felt like finding a needle in the sea.
“Huh!” Suddenly, the captain made a sound when he came across a parchment, making the 2 other members’ hearts drop.
“Everyone, come look at this!” His eyes were sparkling, but at the same time, he was not confident.
He passed the documents around, and the others did understand. They couldn’t find any problem with it.
The document had Lord Bali’s life, from his education to the rewards he obtained, even down to the little details were clearly recorded.
“Captain, what’s wrong with this document?” Researcher Casey shook her head and said.
“No, Casey, I think there is something off about the document!” Researcher Moody disagreed and interrupted.
“Moody, then what’s off about it?” Research Casey followed.
She looked through the document once, and every detail of this Lord Bali since birth was clearly documented, so there shouldn’t be a problem.
“I don’t know, but it might be too detailed!” Researcher Moody replied.
“Everyone, I want to hear all of your opinions. Let me begin first !” The captain looked around and lowered his voice.
He believed there was a problem with this document through his analysis, but the target was a lord. If he wanted to investigate him, he would need at least 3 researchers to report. It was the protection of nobles.
“First, this Lord Bali’s status was granted by the past ruler Judge Angelo. It did not go through the official registration. Also, he often went by his name. Not many people actually seen his face!” the captain lowered his voice again.
Everyone knew Judge Angelo was on the run. Since he granted this mysterious lord, there might be a problem.
However, it was common for nobles to not show themselves to the public, especially the artistic ones.
“Also, just like researcher Moody said, this document is too detailed. It’s almost as if professional researchers like us made it!” The captain let out a cold laugh. There were a few researchers who left the investigation department after Judge Angelo was banished. If this identity was fake, then things might not be as simple.
Therefore, he was very suspicious of this Lord Bali. The document was so detailed he almost couldn’t find a flaw in it.
It was a document made for the city spirit. It was too perfect for the city spirit to even bat an eye when looking for someone suspicious.
But in reality, a perfect document was not really possible. The elves’ investigation machine was not made to spy on Lord Bali, so missing some information was unavoidable.
They were all experienced researchers on the spot. The document might look normal if you just look at one part, but the whole thing together was too perfect,
“Finally, the biggest problem is that Lord Bali has a castle!” The captain slammed the table and yelled. He then added, “he is a noble without inheritance, and our past judges have granted him a castle? Since when were our past judges so generous?”
“Captain, I agree. We should investigate this Lord Bali!” Researcher Moody stood up and said.
“Captain, me as well!” Another few researchers stood up. It has been a few days of nonstop research. They finally found a ray of hope they had to go for it.
….
In an old castle outside of Bay Law city, past judge Angelo Harmon was sitting in a lounge. There was some makeup on his face, so not many elves could recognize him.
He was sitting alone with a cup of coffee by his side. Everyone thought he was running for his life. No one would be able to guess that he was in a castle near the city with an officially recognized identity.
This was his final card. He was saved by someone the day he was being hunted down, so he changed his identity and returned.
When he returned, he realized his family was finished. All the hardship they had gone through throughout the generations was for nothing.
However, he did not blame himself. Instead, he turned to fury towards the Lenny family, master Bennett, Queen Luisa, the New Asia continent, and finally, the entire elven race.
The person who saved him gave him a chance to avenge. He promised him that if he succeeded, he would be the leader of all elves, not in New Asia, but the Evil Kingdom.
That was right. The person who saved judge Angelo was a spy from the Evil Kingdom. To make Angelo Harmon loyal, he agreed to give him a lot of benefits, power, and wealth.
Angelo Harmon had gotten a taste of power with his position as a judge, but when it was lost, he was looked down upon by the elves and even his family, so his yearning for power only grew.
In another world, you could say he was crazy for power. He was on the verge of defeat, and there was nothing he wouldn’t do. He didn’t want to die without any achievements.
As long as he finished this mission, he would rule over the elves in the evil kingdom.
He could already imagine the day he would step on Duke Bart and force Queen Luisa to pour a drink for him.
He couldn’t help but laugh. His eyes were filled with a chaotic blend of joy and madness.
“I wonder how the progress is going?” Angelo Harmon stood up and walked to his office. He pressed a trigger and entered a dungeon.
The dungeon was huge, with tens of death warriors holding a long sword as guards. In the center were a human magic circle maker and an elf circle maker setting up something.
You could tell they were doing something against the law of Bay Law City just by looking at the atmosphere of this place.
Just the fact that a human had appeared next to Bay Law City was against the law. Each of them needed to go through tight regulations if they wanted to enter.
That human circle maker was sent from the Evil Kingdom. He entered the castle through Ervo Forest, and that elf circle maker was one of the warriors of death from his family.
Judge Angelo personally cultivated them, and at that moment, they were helping him to finish the Evil Kingdom’s mission.
“How many more days?” Angelo Harmon asked the elf magic, circle maker.
“Master, we will be done in half a day!” The elf magic circle maker bowed.
“Nice!”Angelo Harmon nodded with satisfaction.
An extremely complex magic circle was emerging from the ground of this dungeon. It was a teleportation circle, a super teleportation circle.
Each teleportation circle needed to be registered in Bay Law City, let alone a super teleportation circle.
Once this super teleportation circle was ignited, Bay Law City’s spirit would be able to spot them due to how close they were.
But Angelo Harmon did not care. As long as that teleportation circle was set up, his mission was complete.
“Soon, you will all know the price to pay for messing with me!” Angelo Harmon mumbled with hatred flashing in his eyes.
……
Abel stepped out of his potion maker room after finishing another master’s potion. Suddenly, he noticed Big Druid Lendo waiting for him.
“Master Bennett, I have something to ask you!” Big Druid Lendo stepped up and bowed.
Abel felt his heart drop. Did something happen to the tree of life?
“Big Druid Lendo, what happened?” He asked desperately.
“The tree of life had gotten a lot better since you talked to it, but this morning large amounts of leaves were dried up again, so I want to invite you to go take a look at it!” Big Druid Lendo said in a yearning tone.
Master Bennett’s status had changed since the last time they met. Master Bennett had become the most popular name in the Central continent. His status might even be higher than him.
At the same time, Master Bennett was the only being who could communicate with the tree of life. It was him who helped the tree of life last time, so Big Druid Lendo had to be humble around him.
Abel immediately sensed a threat when he heard this news. Maybe it was because he communicated with the tree of life last time. Their feelings had linked together.
But he was sure of one thing. He could not underestimate any threat he felt with his current power. His intuition told him the danger would arrive very soon.
He was not the tree of life. He could only sense a threat when it was approaching.
He was in Bay Law City’s potion maker union. If a threat had somehow arrived, it would be catastrophic.
“Big Druid Lendo, let me prepare a little, and I’ll be with you in a second!” Abel lowered his voice.
“Master Bennett, please be quick!” Big Druid Lendo nodded.
Abel stepped out and connected with the potion spirit in his place through the teleportation circle with his master badge.
“Potion spirit, prepare to teleport me to the battle fort and command the puppets to move every valuable thing in my place onto it as well!” Abel said.
“Jade, transform the battle fort into a little castle. Once the defense circle spotted an attack, turn into the invisible mode and lift off!” He then connected with Jade from the battle fort.
He knew this danger was not as simple. He had to prepare for the worse.
As he commanded, his battle fort in the north of the potion maker camp emerged and began to transform.
