After Lucia left, Angor thought for a moment before he turned around and headed to the entrance of Starry Street as well.
He was going to check out the situation in Billon Tree Court.
He was a little curious about what happened in Billon Tree Court. Still, he wasn't going to get involved.
He was going to Billon Tree Court to find Kael.
Kael hadn't returned to Starry Street yet, and he was only an apprentice. If he was affected by the incident in Billon Tree Court, he might get killed.
Still, if Kael had already met up with Dorcas and the others, Angor didn't need to worry too much. Besides, considering Kael's cautious nature, he didn't think there would be any problems.
Still, he wasn't a Prophet, so he decided to check it out himself just in case.
While heading to the entrance, he also listened carefully to the conversations of the people around him.
Many supernaturals who knew about the incident in Starry Street all came here to hide. This was why there was such a commotion at the entrance.
After letting out a sigh of relief, these supernaturals began to talk about what happened outside with their friends.
Judging from their frightened expressions, the attack in Billon Tree Court wasn't a small one.
"I was just looking for a potion, so I went to Billon Tree Court to compare the prices of the potions I found outside. How unlucky … "A petite female apprentice wearing a black robe with red edges was mumbling to her friend in front of a nearby potion shop." I ran too fast and left my broom outside. I hope no one picked it up. "
"I'm luckier than you. I accepted a quest from the questing hall, and when I came to the logistics department to get supplies, I saw chaos outside, so I ran back." A fat female apprentice wearing a black robe with red edges and a pair of glasses showed a relieved look.
The entrance of Starry Street 13 was right behind the Billon Tree Court's logistics department. Judging from this, the fat female apprentice was luckier than the petite one.
"By the way, I only cared about sneaking away on my own. Do you know what the situation is like outside?" The fat witch asked the petite witch.
The petite witch shook her head. "I don't know the exact situation. Anyway, I heard that the Guild District has been mostly destroyed. When I was running back, I saw a shadow the size of a small mountain. I don't know what kind of monster it was, but it was heading in the direction of the Council. "
"The Council? This was one of the six great buildings. Could it be that the attackers want to start a war with the Bilos family? "
The six buildings of the Bilos family were the six official institutions on the surface. They were the Council, the Mission Hall, the Logistics Support Department, the Chamber of Commerce, the Supervisory Team Building, and the Signal Tower.
These were only the official organizations with more important functions on the surface. There were many other official organizations that were not listed, such as the Teleportation Hall, the Mediation Institute, the Race Tree, and so on.
The "destroyed guild district" mentioned by the petite witch was not an official organization. It was more like a community street. If they were attacked there, the Bilos family would probably be fine.
However, if the Council was attacked, it would be equivalent to slapping the Bilos family in the face, and the consequences would be huge.
Next, the two witches began to talk about all kinds of wild guesses and fears. Angor didn't want to listen to them any longer.
He walked a bit further and heard more information from the passersby.
What the petite witch had "heard" was indeed true. The attackers destroyed several top guilds in the Guild District, including the Shark Planet Purebloods Association, Kei Alchemy Bureau, Strange Creatures Conference … These were not official organizations, and they did not have any wizard organizations behind them. They were private guilds, but they still had a large number of members, which made them quite influential in the Biron Tree Garden.
But now, the encampments of these guilds were destroyed by a giant gorilla.
He didn't know what species the gorilla belonged to, but he was sure that it was the "mountain-sized shadow" that the petite witch mentioned earlier.
What the petite witch "heard" was true, but what she saw with her own eyes and guessed did not happen.
Although the giant gorilla was walking in the direction of the Assembly Hall, it wasn't going to the Assembly Hall, but the Battle Arena.
The arena was right next to the Council District. It was not a building, but a large area. There were spell labs for rent, colosseums for gambling, and duels for settling grudges. There was also a building called the Sky Tower. But it was only a building in name, and there was no Sky Tower.
Most of the buildings in the arena were for civilian use. The unknown gorilla's destruction was a slap to the Bilos family's face, but it was not unforgivable.
Angor wondered if the attackers were afraid of the Bilos family. Otherwise, he would have definitely offended them and chosen the Six Great Buildings instead of the Guild Area first before going to the Battle Arena.
But if they were really afraid of the Bilos family, why would they attack the Biron Tree Garden? It was very contradictory.
Maybe the attackers had some other ulterior motives?
Angor considered and kept walking. Soon, he reached the entrance of the Starry Street.
He did not leave right away. Instead, he stood in a corner quietly.
There were more people gathered at the entrance. Judging from their expressions and emotions, most of them came back from outside.
Now that they were safe, they breathed a sigh of relief and began to talk.
Some of them were fellow fugitives, so they naturally gathered together to tell each other about their experiences. Of course, there were also people who did not like each other, who complained about each other.
It was noisy here, but the information was more complete.
"You have no idea. I couldn't run fast under that gorilla's pressure. I almost got stomped into meat paste by those hairy feet. Thank god I met the kind Mister Eckstedt. Otherwise, I would have died here. " A man in a cultivator's robe was talking to his companion, a nun, who was not far from Angor.
"You met Mister Eckstedt too?" A middle-aged Apprentice who had just returned from outside stopped in his tracks when he heard the words of the man in cultivation robes. He had a look of relief on his face.
"Yes. Mister Eckstedt pulled me out of the pressure. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get away." The man did not know who the apprentice was, but he still replied.
"Me too. I was in the treehouse at the time and didn't know what was happening outside. When I heard the noise, I ran to the window to take a look. Before I could see the situation outside, I was kicked away by Mr. Eckstein. I was still very angry at the time, but in the next second, that terrifying blue gorilla trampled the treehouse I lived in." The apprentice sighed in relief. "If it wasn't for Mister Eckstedt, I would have died too."
"Mister Eckstedt is such a good man."
The man in the cultivator's robe agreed with the middle-aged apprentice's words. Several supernaturals around them also spoke with fear.
Clearly, these two were not the only ones who received help from "Mister Eckstedt". There were many others who received help from Eckstedt.
However, Angor had no idea who this "Mister Eckstedt" was.
Angor did not care too much about Eckstedt. He just assumed that the man was a kind soul who helped during a disaster. Instead, he kept listening to other people's conversations to see if there were any new information.
Speaking of which, the middle-aged apprentice did mention that the gorilla was blue in color.
Angor did not know much about the hill-sized gorilla before, but he already had some idea about the blue gorilla.
"Who the hell is the attacker? Just that gorilla? That gorilla doesn't seem to have any intelligence. There should be someone controlling it, right? "Someone nearby asked.
"I don't know. But I'm sure someone is behind it."
Everyone discussed.
Bru told Lucia that the attacker came from Starry Street. Angor didn't know what to say since Bru told him that the attacker was from Starry Street.
Why didn't these people know? But how did Bru know?
Or could it be that Buru had also guessed the identity of the attacker from the gorilla? Did Bru see the gorilla?
While Angor pondered, other people's guesses were getting further and further away.
Some said that it was an enemy of the Bilos Family who came for revenge. Others said that it was Goman King's operation. Others said that the gorilla simply got lost and came to Billon Tree Garden.
There were many different theories, but none of them were reliable.
At this time, a man in a wrinkled windbreaker walked out of a shop with a sign that read "Treasure Hunters". He was very handsome, but his back was very heavy. There was a lot of stubble on his chin and dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he had been depressed for countless days and nights.
After leaving the shop, he leaned against the door frame and took out a pipe to smoke while listening to more and more ridiculous guesses.
"Why do you think the attacker must be an enemy of the Bilos Family? I don't think so, "the man said.
Everyone looked over, and when they saw the person who spoke, a portion of them sneered, "What's wrong? Does Sherlock have any brilliant ideas? Is it a new conspiracy theory or a new case of persecutory delusion? "
The man called Sherlock spoke in a mysterious tone, "I'm not talking about conspiracy theories. Think about it carefully. Did the blue gorilla you mentioned destroy the official buildings of the Bilos Family?"
"No. But that doesn't mean anything."
Sherlock: "Why not? Are the official buildings of the Bilos Family more sturdy than the ones in the guild district? Forgive me for being blunt. Many of the buildings in the guild district are newly built, especially the Kewei Alchemy Bureau, which uses the latest defensive technology from Floating Mech City. It's much sturdier than the buildings in the Bilos Family that haven't been repaired for years.
"If the attacker really wanted to go against the Bilos Family, they would've targeted the official buildings first, not these newly built ones."
Some people didn't like Sherlock's idea, but they did have a point.
Someone stood up and asked, "Then what do you think is the reason?"
Everyone looked at Sherlock, including Angor. Angor's guess was similar to Sherlock's. However, Angor was a visitor to Billon Tree Garden, and Sherlock seemed to have spent a lot of time there. Perhaps he knew something.
After getting everyone's attention, Sherlock slowly exhaled a smoke ring and spoke slowly, "I think … this is a trap."
"A trap? What trap? "
Sherlock narrowed his eyes. "A trap set up by the Bilos Family to eliminate the Billon Tree Garden and find out about Star Street."
Everyone was shocked by Sherlock's words.
If what he said was true, Star Street wouldn't be safe anymore.
"Why do you say that? What proof do you have? "
"I don't. But you can think about it carefully. There is something fishy about this."
"Something fishy?" The man in the cultivation robe muttered in a low voice before suddenly saying, "There is indeed something fishy."
Sherlock's words didn't attract much attention. However, the man in the robe seemed to have some prestige. Everyone looked at him in confusion.
"First of all, Sherlock was right. The attacker didn't attack the official organizations of the Biluos Family. Moreover, the places he chose to attack were all places that the Biluos Family doesn't have strong control over. Isn't it obvious that he doesn't want to go against the Biluos Family?" The man in the Taoist suit said softly.
"But if he doesn't want to go against the Bilos Family, why would he attack Billon Tree Garden?" The man in the robe spoke with a dark expression, "I think it's to force us into Star Street. Billon Tree Garden is looking for the entrance to Star Street! "
When the crowd heard this, there was an uproar.
At this moment, the man in cultivation robes spoke again, and this sentence caused the atmosphere to fall into silence.
"There's something else that you might not have noticed. Where are the Bilos Family members? Did you see the people of the Bilos family? Where are the Bilos Family members? "
The man in the robe pointed it out, and everyone began to think carefully.
Yes, when they ran away, they only saw the guards. However, these guards were just like them. They were all apprentices. There wasn't a single official Sorcerer among them.
It was reasonable to say that the Bilos Family was rooted in Billon Tree Garden. Their headquarters was also in Billon Tree Garden. Sorcerers gathered here. Once something happened in Billon Tree Garden, how could these Sorcerers not notice it?
If a powerful demon attacked, the Bilos Family would have noticed it immediately and started to think of ways to deal with it.
Otherwise, where would the dignity of Billon Tree Garden be? Where would the prestige of the Bilos Family be?
If their prestige was gone, not only would they lose face, but it would also cause other Transcendents to lose confidence in Billon Tree Garden. They wouldn't dare to come here again. This would be a great loss.
In this case, unless the attacker was so powerful that the Bilos Family couldn't resist, they would definitely stand up.
Was the attacker strong? Yes.
But that gorilla wasn't so strong that it couldn't be dealt with.
How could the Bilos Family be afraid?
If they weren't afraid, then there must be a reason why the Bilos Family members didn't show up on the battlefield.
At this moment, everyone thought of the only possibility after listening to the narration of Sherlock and the man in the cultivation robes.
The Bilos Family and the attacker were on the same side!
This was the only explanation that made sense.
The reason why the Bilos Family did this was probably just as Sherlock had guessed. They had found the Starry Sky Street through their escape route!
Everyone's expression changed.
"We're pawns. They used us to find Starry Street!"
"Damn!"
"The people of the Biluos family are too vicious!"
The air around the entrance was filled with indignation. Angor, on the other hand, was walking outside with a speechless expression.
