When Angor saw Sherlock's confident look as if he had everything under control, he thought he had run into a wise man. But it turned out the man was wrong from the start.
Still, Sherlock was not the only one to blame.
After all, most of the Bilos Family's wizards went to the Garden of Labyrinth, which was kept a secret from the public. The outside world was in chaos, and the Bilos Family did not send anyone to stop the attack because they were not in Biron Tree Garden at all.
Without knowing the truth, the attack on the outside world was indeed very confusing, which could easily mislead one's reasoning.
It was not Sherlock's fault. Angor could only say that he did not have enough information, which led to all his subsequent deductions being wrong.
But then again, both Sherlock and the man in robes were right about some things.
First of all, the attackers did not intend to fight to the death with the Bilos Family. Also, even if most of the Bilos Family's men went to the Garden of Labyrinth, there must be some wizards who stayed behind to guard the place. These wizards did not show up, which meant something was wrong.
Angor speculated that the wizards who stayed behind were either worried about the possibility of "luring the tiger away from the mountain", or they had other things to do. For example, they discovered the mastermind behind the attack.
The blue gorilla's attack was not a coincidence. There must be a mastermind behind it.
And according to Bru, the mastermind was someone from Starry Street. The wizards who stayed behind might have noticed this, which was why they were in a stalemate with the mastermind.
As for the man in robes' assumption that the attackers were on the same side as the Bilos Family, it was unlikely.
This shouldn't be possible. Even though the Billos family didn't have much control over the guild area and the battle arena, these two areas were both in the Biron Tree Courtyard and were part of it. Unless the Bilos Family wanted to take complete control of the Tree Garden, there was no need for them to do this.
Did the Bilos Family want to take complete control of the Biron Tree Garden? Yes. But it was impossible.
All the major wizard organizations had bases in Biron Tree Garden. If the Bilos Family wanted to take complete control of the Tree Garden, they would have to go against all the major organizations. Was that possible?
There was no need for that. Moreover, with all the major organizations here, Biren Tree Courtyard would be safe in a way.
Therefore, everyone guessed that the attackers were in the same camp as the Biluos family. This was absolutely impossible.
But … could some people in the Bilos family have colluded with the attackers? That was possible.
After all, it was too much of a coincidence that the attack came right after the Bilos family's troops left. Obviously, there were also problems within the Bilos family. Even if there were no traitors, there must be speculators. Otherwise, how could the news of the departure of a large group be leaked out so quickly?
There was one more thing that the man in the practitioner's robe had guessed: the Bilos Family had done this in order to find the Starry Sky Street.
This was also nonsense.
He believed that most of the Bilos Family members did not know about the entrance of Starry Street. But he was also sure that the Bilos Family knew about the existence of Starry Street in their Wizard Fair.
After all, the Didia Family was not a big secret in the World of Adepts, especially in the Goman Kingdom. The Biren Shuting had been ploughing here all year round, so how could they not know about Didya? No way.
Therefore, the Biren Shuting must have accepted that Starry Street was their "home".
Of course, the Bilos Family must have negotiated with the Didia Family behind this.
All in all, the Bilos Family knew about Starry Street. They had been living together for many years, and they never had any conflicts with the Starry Sky Street. Why would they hurt themselves just to find the entrance?
Angor even wondered if the Bilos Family was the one who told Bru the news so quickly.
However, there was something fishy about this attack, and there was no doubt about it.
Angor could not understand why the attackers would do this. There had to be a reason for the attack. But what was it?
Angor shook his head to clear his mind. The most important thing right now was to find Kael.
…
Angor soon arrived at the entrance of Starry Street — the cleaning room of the Logistics Department.
The cleaning room was not as tidy as before. Everything was in a mess. Even the door sill was trampled to pieces.
Angor could tell how messy it was when people were running toward Starry Street.
To be honest, Angor did not think the cleaning room was safe even if the attack did not happen. He reckoned that the upper echelons of the Bilos family might have known about the existence of the cleaning room, but they just turned a blind eye to it.
After leaving the messy cleaning room, Angor went to the small forest outside.
As soon as he entered the small forest, he saw a broom on the ground not far away.
The broom was very delicate. The tip of the handle was decorated with a small crescent moon, and there was a small bell hanging from the crescent moon.
From the remaining information on the broom, he sensed the scent of the petite apprentice from before. She guessed that this was the broom she had left behind in a hurry.
The broom wasn't anything special. It was just a tool for apprentices. Angor glanced at it for a second before heading deeper into the woods.
Although the entrance to the Starry Street was very bold and directly backed by the official building, the address was remote. It belonged to the edge of the Bilun Tree Courtyard and was still a distance away from the center of the Bilun Tree Courtyard.
Angor walked toward the center of Biren Shuting while using his senses to sense the scent of Kael.
He also saw many apprentices running away from the center of Biren Shuting. All of them had fear written on their faces.
Angor sensed a violent aura coming from them.
Such a violent and unrestrained aura did not seem like something a wizard would do. Was it from that blue ape?
Angor's carefree attitude was replaced by a serious look.
Although he believed that with Cael's cautiousness, he wouldn't be dragged into this unexpected disaster, it was better to be safe than sorry.
With that in mind, Angor hastened his steps.
Among all the people who were running away, Angor's movement was quite eye-catching and attracted some people's attention. However, no matter how curious they were, they had no choice but to keep their curiosity to themselves and run for their lives.
Angor soon arrived at the closest area to the forest — the Guild District.
Just as the refugees had said, this place had already turned into a pile of ruins.
As far as the eye could see, there were damaged buildings everywhere.
However, although almost every building here was damaged, only a few of them were truly destroyed. Only a small part of the other buildings were damaged.
However, the few buildings that were completely destroyed happened to be the top guilds in the Guild District. Their buildings also occupied the largest area, so after they were destroyed, the place looked like a "ruin".
Angor looked around at the fallen stones, abandoned buildings, and people running away. "Soren, search for Kael's aura, but I'm not sure if I can find Kael. Elmi, cover yourself. "
Speed Spirit turned into a gust of wind and hovered around Angor without making a sound. Without hesitation, Velaris responded to Angor's order by turning into thousands of gusts of wind and scattered in all directions.
Elmi did not reveal himself. Instead, Angor's shadow continued to boil. Soon, Angor's shadow was completely surrounded.
Angor turned into a shadow and blended into the night.
After several jumps, Angor arrived at several places in the Guild District where he could clearly hear the screams.
Most of them came from people who were hit by the falling buildings. Most of them were mortals. Supernaturals could escape from the falling buildings. Mortals, on the other hand, could only struggle in vain.
Angor controlled the Hand of Spell to rescue the mortals and heal them according to their condition. At least, he would give them some basic mobility.
The people who were rescued did not know who did it, but when they sensed their wounds healing, they knew that a superhuman was helping them in the dark. They all thanked the air.
Angor had already left before they could thank him.
Angor kept moving forward, and whenever he saw someone in trouble, he would give them some help. As he went deeper into the Guild District, he noticed something that puzzled him.
There were not many people who were asking for help. At first, Angor thought that many people died in the ruins.
However, when Angor released his spirit feelers to check the surrounding ruins, he realized that only a few people were crushed to death.
In other words, apart from the buildings at the head of the Guild District, the other damaged buildings did not kill anyone. At most, several mortals were hit by the falling buildings like the one just now.
As for the buildings at the head of the Guild District, which were the Shark Planet Pureblood Society, the Positional Alchemy Bureau, and the Mystical Creatures Conference, all of them suffered heavy casualties.
The Shark Planet Pureblood Society suffered the most.
However, among the buildings of the Alchemy Bureau and the Conference of Mystical Creatures, only the buildings close to the Shark Planet Pureblood Society were destroyed. The other buildings were not completely destroyed. At least, there were still cries for help. However, several buildings at the Shark Planet Pureblood Society collapsed, and there was only dead silence in the ruins.
According to Angor's observation, it was not that there were no people buried under the ruins. It was just that they were all dead.
This strange situation made Angor crouch down and release several elemental ripples toward the ground.
Under the vibration of the elemental ripples, the ground turned from hard to soft as if it had turned into a swamp.
A moment later, two corpses floated up from the "swamp".
Both of them were level-3 apprentices. Judging from their strength, they must have enjoyed a high status in the Shark Planet Pureblood Society.
Angor carefully checked the corpses and came to a conclusion that was expected.
The two of them were not people who would die immediately. In other words, the blue gorilla did damage to the buildings, but it was not enough to kill them.
They died because someone added the finishing blow.
It was not obvious on the surface, but the insides of their bodies were completely destroyed. What surprised Angor the most was that there was almost no blood left in their bodies.
It was just like the corpses that had their blood sucked out by vampires.
"As expected, the blue gorilla only attacked on the surface. There was someone else who did the finishing blow."
Who did the finishing blow? Was it the one Bru mentioned who walked out of Star Street?
Angor could not find out for now. However, judging from the current situation in the Guild District, one of Angor's questions was answered.
Before this, Angor did not know the purpose of the attackers from the other survivors. It seemed like they were just throwing random punches, and whoever they hit was unlucky.
But now, it seemed that the attackers had a purpose. Their first target was the Shark Planet Pureblood Society.
Angor did not know why they wanted to wipe out the entire Shark Planet. Could it be someone from the Shark Planet Pureblood Society who offended them before? So they caused such a big commotion for revenge?
Angor would have to find out the details from the survivors of the Shark Planet Pureblood Society. Or maybe … he would find out when these supernaturals turned into undead spirits.
But no one could tell when they would become undead spirits.
Besides, these undead spirits might not survive the Soul Tide and be sucked into Cazider World before they could emerge from their bodies. It was not wise to wait here like an idiot.
Angor gave the corpses a long look and disappeared from the ruins.
When he reappeared, he was already at the business district.
It was not as ruined as the Guild District. From the outside, the business district was not damaged at all, and the defensive measures of the shops were still working. However, almost all the people here had run away. The street was empty, like a dead street.
Angor came to the business district because it was the way to the arena.
The blue gorilla left the Guild District and went straight to the arena, so it would definitely pass by the business district.
And it was true.
On the street of the business district, Angor saw the giant footprints on the ground.
Without a doubt, it was the blue gorilla's footprint.
Interestingly, the blue gorilla's footprint was in the middle of the street, avoiding the shops on both sides.
From this, it could be seen that the attacker wasn't just randomly destroying things. His goal was very clear. He went to the Shark Planet Pureblood Society. As for the other places, they were only affected, but did not get destroyed.
Looking at the business district, not a single building was destroyed. This must be done on purpose.
But then again, the attacker's goal in going to the guild area was very clear, so what was his goal in going to the Battle Arena?
Was there someone from Shark Planet Pureblood Society in the arena?
Angor wondered as he quickly moved to the center of the street where the footprints were.
The footprints were very big. If an ordinary adult were to lie flat on his back, it would take four or five people to fill it. From this, it could be seen that the blue gorilla's body was really as big as a mountain.
Angor could not tell who the gorilla was just by looking at the shape of the footprints.
However, he found some clues near one of the footprints.
There were messy pheromones around it, and several other footprints that went deep into the ground. Angor believed they were the footprints of two people. There were also several handprints.
He looked at the marks on the ground and pictured a scene in his mind.
Someone was running away and accidentally tripped, leaving a handprint on the ground. He tried to get up and keep running, but the gorilla's foot was about to land on him.
In the nick of time, someone stepped out and used some kind of tool to stop the gorilla's footsteps. They also pulled the man out from under the gorilla's foot.
Another human footprint went deep into the ground, which meant the person was under some kind of great force. Angor guessed it was left by someone who stopped the gorilla's foot. There was also a drag mark on the ground, probably left by someone who saved someone.
This reminded Angor of what the man in the robe told him in Starry Street.
He was about to be stomped into meat paste by the gorilla, but someone called "Eckstedt" stepped out and saved him.
So, this could be the mark left behind by Mr. Eckstedt when he saved someone?
Angor did not know if his guess was correct, but it did not matter. The reason why he came here was not only because he found these marks, but also because he saw a strand of hair here.
A blue hair.
