"Good day, Lord Bennett!" Derek walked into the hall and saw the body on the floor and the potions on the table. He couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Derek, this is a Druil. Today, I was attacked by 7 Knight commanders and this Druil. Coachman Archie died in battle!" Abel pointed at the body on the floor and said.
"Lord Bennett, are you hurt?" Derek quickly asked. He knew about the relationship between Abel and the young master Lorraine. If something happened to Abel, Grand Duke Edwina would be furious.
"I'm fine. I've killed all the attackers. Only this body is left. Can the Grand Ducal Palace find out who attacked me this time?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Abel's voice, especially when he emphasized the word "this time." This was what he wanted Derek to know. He had to let the Grand Ducal Palace know what he meant.
A flash of shock appeared in Derek's eyes. 7 Knight commanders and a Druil. This kind of fighting power was almost all the fighting power of a medium sized city. However, they were all killed by a rank 3 Lord Bennett. What kind of power was this Lord Bennett hiding?
Derek thought to himself. He walked up to the body and pulled off the hood. His face changed slightly, but it quickly returned to normal. However, how could it escape Abel's observation?
"Derek, do you know this druid?" Abel asked, as if he didn't mean it.
"No, I don't know!" Derek was a little surprised by Abel's question, but he still replied quickly.
"You can take the body back!" Abel waved his hand and pointed to the 200 bottles of potions on the table and said, "These are the potions Grand Duke Edwina needs. Take them back!"
"Brewer, help me see the guest out!" Abel turned and walked up the stairs of the main building.
Derek's face changed. He had already noticed the change in Abel's attitude. He quickly called a servant to put the potions and the body into the carriage and quickly returned to the Grand Ducal Palace to report to Grand Duke Edwina.
Not long after Abel returned to his room, he rang the bell. Brewer's voice came from outside the door. "Master, are you looking for me?"
Abel walked out of the room and said to Brewer, "Invite Bernie to the living room. Did Derek send him away?"
"Master, Steward Derek has left!" Brewer bowed and said.
"Alright. Send an elf to investigate and find where Bernie lives. Come back and report to me. Go!" Abel nodded. He had already expressed his attitude. Now it was up to the Grand Ducal Palace.
In the Grand Ducal Palace, Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert were sitting in the hall. Steward Derek had already reported what happened and placed the Druil's body on the ground.
"Find out who this Druil is!" Grand Duke Edwina angrily glanced at the body on the ground and ordered Derek.
"Master, this is Blood Flame from Begro City!" Steward Derek had handled a lot of things related to the 2 cities. He was very familiar with the Druil in Begro City, not to mention the scariest one, Blood Flame.
"You said this is Blood Flame, Francesco's disciple!" Grand Duke Edwina stood up and walked to the body. Blood Flame was very famous. As the disciple of Begro City's Lord, Grand Duke Francesco, he was a fighter. He was always out on missions. Because he had killed a lot and was good at using fire spells, the elves called him Blood Flame.
Grand Duke Edwina was furious. She yelled, "What is Adolf trying to do? How dare he send an elf to attack my master alchemist in my city?"
After knowing the identity of this Druil, Grand Duke Edwina didn't have to think too much to know who was behind this attack. Only Prince Adolf could order Grand Duke Francesco's disciple, Blood Flame.
Prince Adolf was Grand Duke Edwina's nephew. Even if he did something like this in the city, as long as he wasn't caught red-handed, he could only negotiate with Grand Duke Francesco. If he messed with the only successor of Begro City, Prince Adolf, it would most likely lead to a war between Angstrom City and Begro City.
"You said Bennett's attitude was a little strange?" Duke Albert asked Derek on the side.
"Yes, master. Lord Bennett seemed to be a little emotional about the dark elves' attack last time. If we don't give him an explanation this time, I'm afraid he will be disappointed in the Grand Ducal Palace!" Said Derek with a bow.
"The dark elves' attack!" Duke Albert scratched his head. In the end, they found out that it was related to the investigation department in Begro City. This kind of organization existed in both cities, and Angstrom City also had an investigation department in Begro City. Although they had some guesses at the time, they didn't have any concrete evidence, so they couldn't explain it to Abel in detail.
"We didn't give him an explanation about the dark elves' attack. Since this attack was done by the investigation department in Begro City, then we'll give their heads to Bennett!" Grand Duke Edwina's eyes flashed coldly. This was the perfect excuse to wipe out the entire investigation department in Begro City.
As for Prince Adolf's matter, it was just a matter of using evidence to gain more benefits from Grand Duke Francesco. As a member of the elven royal family, Prince Adolf wouldn't be blamed for this. He would just lose some benefits.
"I'm worried Bennett will take care of it himself!" Duke Albert gazed at Derek. Since Derek was here, he didn't say it too clearly, but Grand Duke Edwina knew what he was talking about.
According to the report, the Duchy of Keyen had attacked Abel's family, and Abel had taken care of it himself. This had caused the Duchy of Keyen's power to plummet. If it weren't for the support of the wizards from Keyen City in Miracle City, the Duchy of Keyen would have been destroyed.
However, Begro City was different. Begro City was a mega-city with a perfect defensive array. It was also protected by an extremely powerful force. It was possible to be locked onto by the array as soon as the attack began, and it was even possible to be killed by the guards.
"He won't be stupid enough to do something completely impossible!" Grand Duke Edwina shook her head and said with certainty.
Although Derek didn't know what his masters were talking about, he could tell that Lord Bennett had the power to make his masters believe in him.
In the afternoon of the same day, Derek brought 10 elven servants to Abel's mansion on Lambe Road in Angstrom City.
"Lord Bennett, the Grand Ducal Palace has found out the identity of the attacker and killed all 28 of his accomplices!" Derek bowed to Abel and waved his hand. The 10 elven servants placed the boxes in their hands on the ground and opened them one by one.
The 28 boxes were filled with elven skulls. All of a sudden, the smell of blood filled the hall. Abel's expression didn't change as he gazed at the boxes on the ground. A cold smirk emerged on his face.
After Derek left in the morning, Abel began to suspect the identity of the black robed Druil. If Derek knew him, he couldn't be a nobody. Therefore, he carefully checked the portal bag of the black robed Druil again.
This time, he focused on the letters and some items related to his identity. As expected, Abel confirmed the name of the black robed Druil. One was the name "Blood Flame" in one of the letters. The other was a city magic circle control card. Although it had lost its function because it was bound, Abel could still see the symbol of Begro City engraved on it. This meant that this Druil named Blood Flame was a very important elf in Begro City.
Afterward, he went to the Alchemy Union and learned the identity of this Druil named Blood Flame. He was the disciple of Grand Duke Francesco, the mayor of Begro City. This also allowed him to understand why a beginner Druil would have so many spell scrolls and that scary "volcano" spell scroll.
