Chapter 348: Luck Suppression Dragon Scale, Stolen

Lenny and the other two did not know how to treat the current Dick. However, they were all Great Archmagi who had cultivated for a long time. It did not take long for them to adjust their mental states.
No matter who Dick was in the past, he was already a genius of the Nicholas family, a top Great Archmage, and almost certainly able to advance to become a Divine Mage in the future.
As for the Forging Sect, it was still a little weak. Moreover, Dick had saved the Forging Sect not long ago, so what if they respected their benefactor? Even if Dick had come knocking on their door arrogantly to wash away the humiliation from back then, the Forging Sect could only cooperate and beg for his forgiveness.
Fortunately, Dick did not seem to plan to hold the past against them. Lenny and the others, who had come to this conclusion, relaxed a little.
In fact, when he left here with Ron back then, Dick had thrown away those old grievances.
Currently, the Forging Sect of the northern territory was just an ordinary faction to him. He only knew a few members inside.
Dick’s target this time was not the Forging Sect. He had just killed those Great Archmagi. He had only attacked because he was too angry and thought that Grandpa Miller had been killed by them.
Moreover, considering that Grandpa Miller had a deep relationship with the Forging Sect, Dick naturally would not deliberately make things difficult for the Forging Sect.
After a few words, Dick was invited by Lenny and the others to the conference hall for a formal meeting.
As for the injured people lying in the hall, they were all taken care of by the uninjured members of the Forging Sect. Grandpa Miller was sent to the guest room first to be taken care of.
From the story told by Lenny and the others, Dick finally learned what had happened to the Walls Village and the Forging Sect earlier.
A few days ago, the army of the Malai Kingdom had suddenly attacked the northern territory. In just a day, they had occupied the periphery of Wind City. A large area of the country, including the Forging Sect, was directly occupied by the Malai Kingdom.
The Forging Sect had not wanted to care about the battle between the two countries. Unexpectedly, the Malai Kingdom had directly sent out an army of Magi to surround the Forging Sect. Without any delay, they attacked the Walls Village at the foot of the mountain.
The distance up and down the mountain had also established a deep relationship between the Forging Sect and the Walls Village over the years. When the former heard the news, they immediately sent their members down the mountain to rescue the villagers… In the end, they were too late and could only manage to save a small number of those who were in a better condition.
Although Miller’s realm had declined, he was still supporting the Forging Sect.
In the battle to save the people at the foot of the mountain, the Forging Sect had also suffered heavy casualties. Three elders of the sect died in this battle.
These three elders were the ones who had a feud with the Tiffany family in the Wind City back then. Due to their close relationship with the Tiffany family and their entanglement with Dick’s master, they deliberately caused all kinds of trouble and eventually caused Dick to be expelled from the Forging Sect.
After a head-on conflict with the Malai Kingdom, the army of Malai Kingdom, which had surrounded the foot of the mountain, launched an all-out attack on the Forging Sect.
The Forging Sect had no choice but to activate the large magic formation protecting the sect and start to fight the enemy…
A few days had passed, and today, the enemy had suddenly dispatched a few new Great Archmagi over to forcefully break the magic protective formation. Then, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
In the chaotic battle in the air, the six Great Archmagi from the Forging Sect fought against the nine from the enemy’s army.
Dick had just heard the loud sound of the formation breaking, so he used the Lightning Technique to rush over at high speed… Although he had arrived at the scene in time, the enemy’s attack had been too fierce, and there was a great disparity between the Forging Sect and the enemy. Miller, who was already injured at that time, had also participated in the battle and was accidentally injured severely.
As he listened and thought, Dick frowned. He had some guesses.
The sudden attack on the Forging Sect by the Malai Kingdom army might have something to do with his impending arrival here.
Previously, outside Wind City, their group had already had some friction with the Malai Kingdom’s army. Perhaps, at that time, someone had sent a secret report to those here at the Forging Sect… Therefore, the enemy suddenly attacked the Forging Sect and even set up an obstruction halfway.
However, three Great Archmagi had stopped them halfway, and another nine had attacked the Forging Sect. What was in the Forging Sect?
Just when Dick was having a strange feeling about this, the six retainers of the Nicholas family had also finished clearing up the defeated soldiers. An elder from the Forging Sect led them to the meeting hall.
After the seven people had sat down, another elder, who had a nasty expression, walked in quickly. He seemed to be very anxious and hurriedly reported, “Sect Master! Someone has trespassed into the forbidden ground! He has stolen the true dragon scale stabilizing the luck of the sect!!”
“Ah?!” The expressions of Lenny and the other elders changed drastically. Dick was also very surprised.
Lenny quickly stood up, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, “Sir Dick, you also know the forbidden ground of the Forging Sect. Do you want to go over with us to investigate?”
“Alright.” Dick nodded gently and instructed the six retainers to rest for the time being.
Lenny asked another elder to stay in the hall to entertain the distinguished guests. Then, he led the other three elders to the forbidden ground of the sect with Dick.
The forbidden ground was in the back mountain. When the few of them came outside the passageway, they discovered that the magic formation protecting the forbidden ground had been tampered with. Among those who had come to steal, there should be someone who was good at breaking formations. This was because they had not sensed any huge commotion when they were fighting outside.
They entered the forbidden ground in the mountain and came to the interior of an empty stone room.
The protective formation in the stone room had been destroyed, and the ten-meter platform in the middle had been shattered into pieces.
Although he had never entered this stone room before, Dick could deduce from his past experience that the sect’s treasures, which had been placed on the platform in the magic protective formation, had been stolen.
The Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale was the most famous treasure in the Forging Sect. It was said to be the scale of a true dragon that could stabilize the luck of the sect.
A treasure with the magical effect of stabilizing luck was very rare in the entire magical world. Usually, only those powerful family clans could possess such a treasure, such as the Fiery Dragon Treasure Sword, which seemed to be the incarnation of the luck of the country.
Of course, the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale of the Forging Sect was far inferior to those of super powerful factions. As a diamond-tier magical treasure, its luck stabilizing effect was not very strong.
However, to have such a magical treasure was something that made everyone envious. If it had not been for the great reputation of the Forging Sect for weapon refinement, this Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale would have long been snatched away.
However, it was still stolen today.
“And it was even stolen by the military of the Malai Kingdom. Is the whole country… a thief?”
After all, it was a country of magical power cultivation. It was impossible for it not to have a sacred tool with stronger luck stabilization. Why had they wanted to snatch the one from the Forging Sect?
Seeing that the place where the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale had originally been placed had become empty, Sect Master Lenny was breathless from anger. “This is too much bullying… Such a large Malai Kingdom… has gone too far!!”
“Sect Master!”
“We must get the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale back!”
“Yes! The enemy had just snatched it away, they shouldn’t have gone far! We have to chase after them quickly!”
The few elders of the Forging Sect were also shocked and furious. They all suggested, “The current situation is urgent. No matter what, we must snatch back the Luck Stabilizing Dragon Scale!”
Lenny’s old face was dark. He lowered his head and took two hurried steps. As if he had thought of something, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Dick, who had not said a word since he entered the secret room. He looked hesitant.
