The streamlined windshield, polished with a single piece of crystal, allowed the wind to blow past his head. The road conditions were excellent, and there were few detours. Roddy felt as if he was driving a convertible.
The scenery of the Lassiman Circuit was similar to the famous Monaco F1 Circuit. After driving for more than 20 minutes, Roddy had long left his opponents in the dust.
This was because Balrenna's Transport Marionette also needed to enter the repair station to change its Magic Crystal and spare parts. However, their "trump card" only needed to enter the repair station three times, while Mo Fengfeng and the other academies needed to enter the repair station four to seven times. Compared to them, Roddy's race car, which had no concept of "Magic Crystal", was like a cheat!
The mages on the floating space tower had collectively turned into statues. Even the deans and councilors of the various academies were like mutes. Even the quarreling voices had disappeared.
The floating space tower's trajectory had completely changed. Now, no one cared about the so-called "second group". This was because President Jeremy had kept the floating space tower's line of sight on Roddy's "Firebolt", so everyone could only see this one Transport Marionette.
Roddy was far ahead, and the second person was still ten kilometers away, huffing and puffing as he rushed over. He was completely out of sight.
The entire race had become his one-man show. Everyone was no longer paying attention to the performance of the "Firebolt". This was because after Roddy secured an absolute lead, he slowed down. When he reached the 70-kilometer stretch of the race route, he even stopped the car and jumped off. He went to a nearby shop to buy an iced drink and drank it for five minutes under the shade before leisurely starting up again. He continued to drive at a speed far faster than the other "Transport Marionettes" towards the finish line …
"He actually didn't change the Magic Crystal …"
"He doesn't need to dissipate the heat or change the Magic Crystal. What the hell is he doing? Did the pre-race inspection not carry out properly? "
The "Duriel Rally Race" stipulated that vehicles could only use up to 16 high-grade Magic Crystal. Vehicles that exceeded this standard were not allowed to participate. At this time, 75 kilometers of the 93-kilometer race had been completed. The most Transport Marionettes had already changed their Magic Crystal five times, but Roddy was still driving without any qualms. He did not slow down, and the car did not overheat. The mages were not fools. Under this comparison, they could only deduce two possibilities:
1. Roddy had cheated and fooled the mages inspecting the vehicle.
2. Roddy had mastered magic technology that far surpassed Lassmann's current puppet technology.
However, everyone's understanding of the "Kallon Kingdom" was still stuck at the endless conjectures and accusations made by Councilor Lotica. No one was willing to believe that the latter was true.
However, no matter how he thought about it, as long as Rody did not make any serious mistakes in the remaining stages, he would definitely break the race record. There was no longer any suspense in this race, and all the mages present only had one thought in their minds: Go to Roddy's Transport Marionette as soon as the race ended!
But just as their eyes were fixed on Roddy's chariot, a red beam of light suddenly rose from the south end of the "Colummir Magic Tower" and bloomed into a huge triangular pattern.
"What's going on?"
The beam of light meant that the "Enforcers" were in trouble, and the appearance of the beam of light meant that they were asking for help … The deans and councilors looked at each other in confusion. Even Jeremy was a little confused. The floating space tower was very far from where the beam of light appeared, so no one could see what exactly was happening there.
But all the mages understood the unusual meaning behind it. Because this signal had not appeared in Lassmann for 15 years.
*****
"So, you're going to continue?"
"I … I …"
Hearing Merlinsala's question, the "Enforcer" Legis felt his whole body trembling. He stammered for a long time and could not utter a complete sentence.
Logically speaking, the deterrence of the "Enforcers" in Lassmann was very high. At any time, as long as the "Enforcers" were involved in an operation, the people facing them would always be filled with fear and give up resisting. The "Enforcers" in remote areas might have to face frequent battles, but in Duriel City, Legis had never seen anyone who dared to resist in the past three years.
Until … he met Merlinsala.
The four colleagues who rushed over with him had completely lost the ability to fight. Each of them was like a strange cocoon wrapped in a "membrane" made of elements, unable to break free no matter how hard they struggled.
This situation occurred entirely because after they arrived at the scene, they forcefully sealed off the cart containing the "cobalt ore". Then, when Erwin stepped forward to question them, they directly used an "Elemental Chain" to imprison him. Legis thought that the next thing to do was to put elemental shackles on these arrogant fellows and take them away, but before he could say anything, the outrageously beautiful mage in the middle raised her magic wand …
And when he reacted, the battle was already over.
In the seven years since he became a Battle Mage, he had never seen an enemy who could cast a spell faster than an assassin's dagger. But Merlinsala really sent the four of them flying in a second and pointed her magic wand at him.
He subconsciously raised his magic wand and sent out a signal for help that he thought he would never use. But then, he didn't even have the courage to look Merlinsala in the eye. The aura that was enshrouded in violent magic waves made him know that he had no chance of winning.
Merlinsala didn't continue casting spells. She just turned around and casually dispelled the restriction on the cart. Then, she said, "We are the emissaries of the 'Kingdom of Karen'. We are now conducting a small-scale sale here. If the Lassmann Council thinks that the goods we are selling are inappropriate, you can have the 'Commerce Administration Bureau' inform us. But the premise is that the Council has unanimously approved this document. Do you have any problems with what I said?"
Legis swallowed hard. His heart had completely sunk to the bottom. Ballenner Academy was relying on the fact that the other party didn't understand Lassmann law to directly send "enforcers" to pressure them. Although the procedure wasn't right, they could easily deal with these bumpkins by intimidating and suppressing them. But he didn't expect them to actually be so clear about the laws involved!
The "Commerce Administration Bureau" hadn't said anything, but the "enforcers" of the law enforcement department had already made the first move. Wasn't this using public power for personal gain? The Council wasn't run by Ballenner Academy. If this matter was reported, it would definitely be a big case!
"You can call for help. No problem. I'll wait here. I'm very curious. Will you ignore the Council and directly attack? "
Merlinsala smiled at Legis and waved her hand to imprison him in the same way. Then, she turned to walk to the cart and used a spell to erase the words "One kilogram per person" …
"All of you who witnessed the scene just now, if you are willing to provide evidence, you can buy it now. There is no limit."
When the people who were hiding in the distance heard this, they immediately rushed out. They could all tell that the "enforcers" were in the wrong. If this case was within the kingdom, the outcome might be uncertain, but since it involved a foreign envoy, the Council would definitely handle it "fairly and openly". Therefore, these people no longer cared about the "enforcers". The moment they surrounded the cart, they bought all the remaining cobalt ore!
The empty cart was left in place. Irwin and the others, who didn't need to maintain order, went to the side to buy drinks and drank them in the shade. Merlinsala didn't leave either. She simply strolled around the struggling "enforcers". In just a few minutes, the second wave of "enforcers" arrived.
As the executive department, the "enforcers" were basically all Battle Mages. They didn't even think about what the sudden appearance of a battle in Lassmann meant. When they saw Legis and the others struggling, the first thing that came to their minds was to use violence to solve the problem.
"Put down your magic wand! Put your hands behind your head! "
"Oh? What if I refuse? "
