Farming in the Magical World

Lanny used his soul power to suppress the shield generator.

In the instant of the explosion, I felt as if someone had punched me hard in the chest.

My vision went black for a moment, and my brain started buzzing.

The superb Rubik's Cube that powered the shield had long since been blown to bits.

Even the iceberg that Melissa released showed slight cracks.

Then, amidst a series of cracking sounds, it shattered into a pile of ice shards.

The explosion was so violent that the ground throughout the entire block shook.

Some residents in the vicinity were caught off guard and were knocked to the ground by the shock.

Fried, who was trapped inside, was naturally never found.

The place where they were standing had become a dark, bottomless circular hole.

Lanny peeked out of the hole and grinned!

Hiss... ...a jet of metal, terrifying indeed.

Uh, no,

It's a jet of blood from a human body; it's terrifying.

The light shield is a semi-circular shield, and all the energy that cannot be released on top is concentrated at the bottom.

Under the powerful kinetic energy of this focused energy, it directly pierced through the bluestone ground.

"Go quickly"

"We've made too much noise; it'll be troublesome if the city defense forces notice us!"

With a low shout, Melissa grabbed the still dizzy Lanny and, along with Tiffany, quickly left the scene.

"Why is that guy so irritable? He just explodes at the drop of a hat?"

"Hmm, I think it seems to be the influence of your soul power."

"Didn't he regain his senses at the very last moment?"

"Oh, the magic is out of control now, but you can actually control it?"

"Hmm, it seems some madman really did succeed..."

 …

Click, click...

As soon as the three left, a squad of city defense soldiers came running frantically.

"Captain, our men..."

From afar, some of the newly arrived city defense soldiers spotted the patrol team on the ground.

"This is?"

After inspecting the area, even the captain was confused.

He was only at the second level and couldn't sense any residual magic at the scene.

But looking at the scene that looked like it had been swept by a storm, with teammates lying on the ground without any injuries, he was completely bewildered.

What happened?

"Someone, wake them up!"

Just as I directed someone to bring in cold water, another team member started shouting.

"Captain, there's a hole here..."

Cave entrance?

The captain tilted his head in confusion and slowly walked over. "What's all the shouting about... Uh, what the hell is going on...?"

Looking at the pitch-black, seemingly bottomless cave entrance, one teammate whispered to the other.

"Captain, could this be the exit of the Abyss Demons...?"

She turned around abruptly and glared at the other person.

"What nonsense are you spouting? There's no such thing as an abyss demon here."

But the team members pouted, clearly unconvinced.

"Then tell me, what was that earth-shaking tremor in that bottomless cave just now?"

Well... ...

Touching his chin, this low-level mage couldn't discern anything wrong, but he still made a guess based on his intuition.

"this... ..."

"It's probably a battleground at the peak of the high-level, or even above the high-level,"

"Our teammates were just affected by the impact!"

Thinking of this, he stood up.

"Someone, go and report to Lord Drake..."

 …

"It truly is above the high-level, Master..."

Thump thump thump... ...

In the study of Henrik at the George Estate

The kneeling servant wept bitterly, repeatedly kowtowing and swearing oaths.

"It's true, Master, how could I dare lie to you? Lord Fried was blown to bits!"

His expression changed drastically, and Henrik stood up abruptly.

"Really? You saw the other person fly into the sky?"

Having spent most of his time in the royal city, he wasn't entirely ignorant of magic.

At least he knew that one of the hallmarks of being above the highest level was the ability to fly.

"Uh... ...it really did fly!"

The servant was actually standing quite far away; he didn't get too close.

The gloomy Fried was so creepy that he dared not approach him.

The battle took place at night, and the lighting wasn't very good, so he could only vaguely see Lanny jumping up.

On the contrary, he didn't see Melissa's flights at all.

But looking at the young master who seemed ready to devour him, how could he dare to tell the truth?

He could only insist, "Yes, young master, he's flying around in the sky. Lord Fried is no match for him!"

"He was directly covered by a food lid and then he exploded and died."

Henrik paced anxiously around the room for a few moments, then waved his hand.

"Let's go to the master's study!"

Now that he had offended someone of higher rank, even though he was very proud, he knew that this was no longer something he could handle on his own, and he had to ask his father for help.

Besides, if he didn't report the loss of a high-level mage to his family, his father would beat him to death.

The high-level ones are gone just like that.

His heart was bleeding.

 …

"What do you think?"

Crouching at the edge of the pit, Drake looked at Moritz to the side.

At this moment, Moritz stroked his beard but remained silent.

After investigation, it turned out that the cave entrance was not as deep as expected.

Because of the lack of light at night, it looks like the gaping maw of an abyss.

Even so, both of them knew that

Even with the power of their great mages, it would be difficult for them to create such marks in such a small area.

Not to mention that nearby residents reported that the ground shook at the time.

After thinking for a moment, he took to the air and began to survey the surrounding terrain.

It seems this is the only way to reach the Li Family Manor...

"What's wrong? You seem to have an answer?"

Moritz glanced at Drake, who had followed him, and pondered for a moment.

"You bastard, stop pretending now. Don't you know that with this kind of commotion, only the Sorcerer Supreme's forbidden spell could create such a thing?"

"This is the royal city. What if a supreme being comes here?"

Seeing his friend's exasperated expression, Moritz laughed.

He patted the other person on the shoulder, smiled, and shook his head.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

"I can't tell you the other person's identity right now. I promised them, so I'm sorry!"

"However, you're not entirely right!"

"First of all, the guy who died at the scene was probably below his peak level, and the residual magic power supports this."

"Furthermore, I don't know if the enemy is the Sorcerer Supreme, but I am definitely no match for him."

Speaking of this, he thought of Lanny's unknown abilities that instilled despair.

At this moment, he seemed to feel that the summer night breeze in the royal city was a bit chilly!

After regaining his composure, he spoke again, "However, they could never be enemies, I'm quite certain of that."

He paused, and seeing the other person's skeptical expression, his face finally hardened.

"Why don't we discuss how to deal with Archbishop Quintus?"

"This person has been hiding right under our noses for so long; they must be someone extraordinary!"

"Who cares if it's easy or not, let's just get it cleared up first..."

 …

Qiao Family Manor

In the study, Henrik knelt on the floor, looking at his father who had remained silent after listening to the report, his heart filled with unease.

Edward Joe, with his broad forehead, thick eyebrows, high nose, and thick earlobes, gives the impression of a man with great ambition.

And so it is.

In his short life of just a few decades, he painstakingly transformed the Qiao family from a middle-class noble family into the elite aristocratic circle of the back alley.

Anyone who knows him.

Everyone was impressed by his ambition, yet intimidated by his methods.

His greatest wish in life was to crush the Li family, his family's enemy, under his feet.

He achieved it many years ago.

As he has gotten older over the years, he has inevitably encountered the problems of middle age, and his body has begun to gain weight.

Sitting in the chair, his huge belly made it impossible for him to sit upright; he could only lean back slightly in the chair.

But his expression was very serious.

From the servant's few words, he knew that this fellow was dishonest.

They must have been afraid of Fried, so they didn't dare to approach and only glanced at him from afar.

However, that's not important.

It's certain that Fried has gotten himself into trouble with someone of the eighth rank or higher.

As for whether it's above the higher level, it's still hard to say right now.

"Men, drag this guy out... ...and beat him to death!"

He calmly announced the servant's death, but instead stood up and looked at his son, who was trembling like a leaf.

"Alright, tomorrow you'll come with me to Ken's Manor to apologize in person!"

"We must obtain his forgiveness!"

"Remember, when I said... it's a must!"

The other party could easily kill an eighth-rank opponent, yet his son wanted to assassinate him.

TMD

In that instant, he really wanted to beat this unfilial son to death!
