Chapter 37: Innocent? Guilty!

The old lizard echoed.

“The Moon Magi is right. Although Red-haired Jaro has a good relationship with us, we only share our experiences in harvesting materials. The Moon Magi and I can swear upon the Origin that we didn’t participate in the plot against Miss Olivia.”

Origin referred to this world.

Anything that happened in the world could not escape the records of the Origin. Everything had traces! Swearing to the Origin with one’s true soul was indeed a practical method.

As soon as these words were said, not only did Reipa not feel ashamed of accusing others, but he was even a little speechless at the childishness of the two.

His lips moved silently.

Lady Rose and the dean of Marine College, Whale-taming Magi, made a move at the same time. More than ten official Magi appeared as well. Their strength ranged from stage 2 to stage 4, and the leader was also a stage 5 Magi.

In addition, there were official Magis from the White Tower and Marine College.

Their numbers formed a crushing situation.

Seeing that the Moon Witch and the old lizard were still in a daze, Alderi could not hold it in any longer.

“Idiot! Do you still not understand? It doesn’t matter if it’s you or not. The Behemoth family just wants a righteous reason, let alone if you really did it!”

The old lizard was a little flustered as he responded to the sudden large number of spell attacks.

“No way! We can swear to the Origin! ”

“***!! Are you an idiot whose head was chewed off by a squirrel? You are even more stupid than maggots! You are the ones who handed the sword to them. Damn it! If it weren’t for you, the Dandong Empire would have protected the Evening Bell Church! You are sinners!”

The benefits were alluring. After all, there was the Evening Bell Island, a land of magic energy, that the Fiend Salt Swamp and the Evening Bell Church had cultivated and strengthened for three hundred years!

The knowledge, potions, wealth, and even apprentices they collected were all resources.

In the general orientation of the Dandong Empire, foreign forces were not allowed to attack domestic forces. After all, there were many small organizations like the Evening Bell Church that would provide a large number of resources to the Empire every year.

However, if the organization itself was courting death and a hungry wolf from a foreign force found an opportunity, the Empire would also choose to turn a blind eye. The weak and smart could be protected, but if the organization was stupid and ignorant, nothing could save them.

The White Tower and Marine College made the same choice.

The Behemoth family of the North Sea had their roots in the North Sea, and they would leave after the battle. Why not take something they could pick up for free?

Leipa’s branch was like a big tree that had grown many branches and leaves. They had many strategic goals.

If necessary, he could seek the support of the family.

However, after this battle, the family would withdraw, leaving at most one or two people to help him.

After dividing up the Evening Bell Church, Leipa’s branch of the Behemoth family would be able to occupy the church’s place and take root.

It could also form a stable source of resources. Every year, they would transport resources to the family as a return of favor for this attack.

Even so, such resources given to only the two of them, Reipa Behemoth and his sister Olivia Behemoth, were still an incomparably large amount.

It was enough for him to cultivate to the level of a stage 5 Magi.

It was a bloody profit!

The rumbling explosions lasted the entire night, illuminating the entire Koster as if it was daytime.

In this battle, the dock area was completely destroyed, and countless ships were lost. Alderi escaped, and the eleven official Magis either surrendered or died. A large number of apprentices escaped.

The Moon Witch and the old lizard died without a complete corpse.

The moment the battle began, Lin Suo went underground and used his periscope to observe the situation on the surface.

He didn’t want to go out at all, nor did he have any thoughts of making a fortune in the chaos.

He only watched.

He knew how to read lips, and after doing so a little, Lin Suo roughly understood what had happened. Combining his experience with the memories of the Snake Demon, it was easy for him to come up with a logical conclusion.

The original reason for today’s battle was because he killed Sala…

This was simply ridiculous! It was ridiculous to the extreme!

The butterfly effect! Awesome!

…

After the war, a portion of the civilians in Koster had been killed in the aftermath of the battle. As for the strength of the official Magis, Lin Suo could be considered to have a glimpse of it from a limited perspective, and he had a rough idea of it.

They were on completely different levels.

In a battle between official Magi, there was an endless stream of various types of spells, all kinds of tools, wands, contracted beasts, and bloodline transformations. It was simply an eye-opener.

This was especially so for the magic ring, which was refined from the spell models.

It was like a divine ring floating behind a Magi. Every time an official Magi cast a spell, he would use the magic ring to convert magical energy. With that, he could almost instantly cast all the spells of the corresponding attributes that he mastered.

Furthermore, if the spell corresponding to the magic ring could be combined with other magic rings, it could release a more powerful combination spell.

A four-story building could be instantly burned to ashes by a single golden fireball.

It was terrifying.

The division of the Magi schools also came from this.

Combination spells! An ability that could only be mastered by stage 2 Magis! Among them, the elemental Magis were quite experienced in this aspect.

Self-taught wizards had no future. The lack of knowledge would be the biggest obstacle to their paths forward.

Lin Suo observed for the entire night. The periscope had its limitations and he could not see everything clearly. It only allowed him to see a portion of the battle scene in the air.

That being said, he had still gained something.

Today was the third day after the coastal battle royale.

The news of the escape of the dusk Magi Alderi had spread like wildfire in the Magi world.

Lin Suo had always judged others from the worst perspective.

Three stage-5 Magis besieged a stage-5 Magi who had advanced from a self-taught wizard, but the latter actually managed to escape. The inside story behind this was intriguing.

The story of Alderi’s growth was widely circulated in Koster, and it was extremely legendary. This was because he had grown from a beggar to where he was today.

One had to admit that his talent was amazing.

Unfortunately, without the guidance of a great teacher, he lacked proper Magi knowledge. After he condensed the magic rings, his compatibility was very poor. His strength was almost at the bottom of the same realm.

The Evening Bell Church thus came into being. The power of dusk could affect his magic rings and turn them into dusk spells.

Until now, his problem had not been solved, but the Church was gone.

300 years of hard work had turned to naught overnight.

The situation was like this, and there was no way to reverse it.

…

At the same time, the higher-ups of the White Tower, Marine College, and the Behemoth Family gathered to discuss how to divide the inheritance of the Evening Bell Church.

As the people involved, Reipa and Olivia were also there.

However…

“Lady Rose, Master Whale-taming, how do you explain Alderi’s escape?”

Lady Rose twisted her slender waist and placed her heavy chest on the gorgeous wooden table. Her tone was seductive.

“Magi Reipa~ We didn’t want that to happen either.”

Reipa gritted his teeth. They were all old and shrewd monsters with meticulous thoughts.

If Lady Rose hadn’t blocked the trajectory of the family elder’s spell, Alderi would’ve already died from the ice ball’s attack.

Now, he had escaped.

After the family elder left, with such a powerful enemy having his eyes on him in the dark, it would be very difficult for him to truly gain a firm foothold in Koster.
