After the burly old man reprimanded both sides, he slowly spoke into the darkness, "Night Tree, come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, a green plant broke out of the ground and grew into a lush tree in the blink of an eye.
And on the lush crown of the big tree, there was a shadow that looked like both a human and a ghost.
"Night Tree Number Nine greets Elder Tree." An ethereal voice came from the shadow's mouth.
"Number Nine? Why is it you? Where are Numbers Three to Five? "The burly old man, who was also the Grand Elder of Billon Tree Courtyard, asked with a frown.
"Number Three, Number Four, and Number Five went to Elder Yue's place this morning and have yet to return," Number Nine said.
"Elder Yue? She … "The burly old man frowned and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't continue asking." Forget it. Tell me what's going on here. "
Nightwood No.9 nodded and quickly told him everything he knew and saw.
As he spoke, everyone's expressions turned uglier and uglier.
Even Dreis, who had been acting strangely, turned pale.
The arena before them was only one of the areas that had been affected by the disaster. Many of the guild buildings in the guild area had completely collapsed, and countless people had died.
Moreover, the place where the Shallow Sea Strongman had first appeared was the Giant Tree Plaza!
The Giant Tree Plaza wasn't a district, but it was more important than any other. That was because it represented the face of Billon Tree Courtyard!
The teleportation hall, the Clan Tree, and the signal tower for external communication. These three important buildings were all adjacent to the Giant Tree Plaza.
Almost every once in a while, there would be guests teleporting from other Adept Markets and Adept organizations. The first place they would see after exiting the teleportation hall was the Giant Tree Plaza.
The Giant Tree Plaza was the gateway to Billon Tree Courtyard, and also the face of Billon Tree Courtyard.
There were many people there all year round!
However, it was in this place where the flow of people was the most abundant that a shallow-water strongman appeared and wreaked havoc.
Even if the Shallow Sea Strongman didn't cause too many casualties in the Giant Tree Plaza, it was still a slap in the face to Billon Tree Courtyard and the Billon Family.
It could be said that as long as one was still a member of the Billon Family, they wouldn't be indifferent to this news.
After Number Nine finished speaking, the air fell into a deathly silence.
After a while, someone finally broke the silence.
"Now … where did the shallow water strongman go?" The one who spoke was Elder Tree. His voice was very calm, and at first glance, it didn't seem any different from before. However, from Elder Tree's deep eyes, everyone could feel a suppressed flame.
It was a flame of fury that could erupt at any time!
Nighttree 9 said in a low voice, "The shallow-water strongman disappeared after wreaking havoc in the arena. His whereabouts are unknown at the moment. "
Elder Tree said, "Shallow Sea Strongman can't just disappear like that. There must be someone behind this. Have you found anything? "
Nighttree No.9 nodded. "No.10 has been on duty at the Clan Tree today. Therefore, he had experienced the commotion that had occurred at the Giant Tree Plaza. Based on his observations at the scene, he locked onto these people. "
At this point, Nighttree No.9's entire body suddenly turned into mist. The mist lingered around the tree, and after rolling for a while, it gradually formed several realistic images that resembled illusions.
There were a total of three images. The common point of these images was that they had all occurred at the Giant Tree Plaza. The scene of the shallow-water strongman roaring at the sky and the people fleeing in all directions looked like a picture of a hundred lives in a disaster.
The main character of the first image was a woman lazily leaning against the door of a shop. She was smoking a cigarette and watching the shallow-water strongman in the distance display its might without the slightest fear, as if she was watching a show.
Set off by the fleeing people, her unique and aloof temperament was out of place with the surroundings. This was also Nighttree No.10's first suspect after observing her.
The main character of the second image was a weak woman sitting on the ground and crying. At first glance, she looked like an innocent person who had been affected by a disaster.
The reason why Nighttree No.10 paid special attention to her was because the place where she had fallen was near the shallow-water strongman. Most importantly, she was clearly right next to the shallow-water strongman, yet she didn't die or get injured in the end.
This was what Nighttree No.10 found strange.
The main character of the third image was a young man standing on the balcony at the top of the signal tower. He was dressed in a suit and looked very refined.
There were actually other people on the balcony. They had all been attracted by the shallow-water strongman's loud noise outside and had come out of the signal tower to check out the situation.
However, Nighttree No.10 was most concerned about this young man in a suit and leather shoes. This was because compared to the others, he didn't look curious, bewildered, or flustered at all. He looked down at the people fleeing below, his face brimming with a smile.
This was also why Nighttree No. 10 felt that something was wrong.
"These people are the three suspects that Nighttree No.10 captured immediately when the disaster occurred at the Giant Tree Plaza," Nighttree No.9 said. Night Tree No.9 said, "However, we still can't confirm who the real culprit behind this disaster is."
No.9 paused for a moment before continuing, "There's one more thing. After No.10 discovered the abnormalities of these three people, he sent their situation to No.6, who stayed behind at the logistics support department.
"According to No.6's investigation, he discovered that these three people had appeared near the logistics support department. It's basically certain that they came from Star Street."
"Star Street?" Elder Tree frowned slightly. "Have you asked Lucia? What did he say?"
No.9 said, "Lucia left Star Street and is now with No.6 … However, he didn't reveal any information about these three people."
As soon as No.9 finished speaking, Gaynor couldn't help but roar angrily, "Is Lucia rebelling?"
Next to him, Dres said sarcastically, "They were rebelling in the first place. What, you didn't know? "
Lucia was from the Didia family. They stayed in the Goman Kingdom to rebel.
Gaynor was naturally aware of this. However, the rebellion he was referring to was the rebellion of the Babylon Tree Court and not the Goman Kingdom. Dres definitely knew what Gaynor meant, so he was obviously twisting his words.
Gaynor wanted to retort, but his wife, Shaina, held him back. Shaina shook her head lightly at Gaynor.
Gaynor closed his eyes and finally swallowed his anger.
At this moment, Elder Tree said coldly, "Dres, have you forgotten what I just said?"
Dres was stunned. "Gaynor spoke first …"
Elder Tree said, "I'm not deaf. I understand what he meant. I also understand what you meant. "
Gaynor was angry, and the target of his anger was outsiders. Although Dres spoke later, the target of his anger was internal. This was what Elder Tree was dissatisfied with. He had clearly said not to engage in internal conflict at this time, but Dres still mocked and ridiculed him. He obviously didn't take his words seriously.
Dres opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but in the end, under Elder Tree's cold gaze, he lowered his head. "Yes … I was wrong."
Elder Tree didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Night Tree 9. "Where are the three people now? Any news?"
Night Tree 9 shook his head. "The entire Billon Tree Court's intelligence system is paralyzed now. A large number of people have escaped. There's no way to accurately find them."
"What about Sea Eagle and Yakee?"
Sea Eagle and Yakee were official wizards who didn't go to the Garden of Labyrinth ruins.
Night Tree 9 lowered his head. "After Elder Tree and the chief left, Elder Yue went to them. He said he wanted to borrow their strength for some research."
Why is it you again? Elder Tree frowned, a trace of gloominess flashing in his eyes.
Elder Tree was silent for a moment. He turned to Dres and said, "Follow Number 10 and find the shallow sea strongman and the three people."
Dres's eyes twitched when he heard Elder Tree's order. This wasn't a simple mission. Whether it was looking for the shallow sea strongman or the three suspects, there was a possibility of encountering the mastermind behind this. It was fine if he didn't find the mastermind, but if he did, he might face a fierce battle.
Dres didn't think he could deal with the mastermind, but he knew that if he rejected Elder Tree's cold gaze, he wouldn't have an easy time. In the end, he nodded. "Okay."
Elder Tree: "Let's go then."
Dres nodded silently. His body hid in the darkness. It was obvious that he wasn't alone. There was another tall figure in the darkness. It was Night Tree 10!
After Dreis left, Elder Tree quickly assigned a few tasks to the other Magi.
The last mission was given to Gaynor and Shaina by the Tree Elder.
"You two go to Number 6 and see Lucia. Ask her about the situation."
Gaynor nodded heavily. "Okay, leave it to me! I'll definitely make Lucia talk … "
Elder Tree looked at Gaynor who was ready to go all out. He sighed softly and looked at Shaina. "Keep an eye on him. Don't let him fight with Lucia."
Shaina nodded. "Understood."
Gaynor frowned and protested. "Why don't you let me deal with the traitor?"
"Idiot." Elder Tree coldly said, "It's normal that Lucia doesn't reveal any information. This is the rule of Star Street. However, Lucia came out of Star Street. This means that she has tacitly agreed that the three of them are from Star Street. "
Gaynor was stunned. "But …"
"No buts. You can ask Shaina about the details on the way."
Gaynor looked at Shaina doubtfully. "You … know?"
Shaina looked at her lover and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. "I know a little. I'll tell you on the way. Let's go find Lucia first."
Gaynor wanted to say something, but Shaina directly took his hand and pulled him into the darkness.
After Gaynor and Shaina left, only Elder Tree and … Wa Yi were left.
Elder Tree: "Sorry for making a fool of myself, Dark Earl. I didn't expect this to happen."
Although Elder Tree was looking at Wa Yi, if one looked closely, they would realize that he wasn't looking at Wa Yi, but at Wa Yi's nose.
In other words, the Dark Earl's clone.
Wa Yi was also very clear that Elder Tree wasn't talking to him. He kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything.
The Dark Earl, on the other hand, used his aura to vibrate the surroundings and said in a low voice, "It's fine. This is also an unexpected disaster … But then again, Elder Tree, don't you suspect me?"
The Dark Earl said lightly, "You just came to the Garden Labyrinth to see us, and something happened here. Don't you suspect that we're behind this?"
Elder Tree: "If Dark Earl wanted to deal with us, he wouldn't have to use this method. However, Sir did remind me that something happened here right after we left. There must be something fishy about this. Maybe someone inside us leaked the information to the outside … "
Speaking of this, Elder Tree showed an apologetic expression again. "It's our fault for letting Sir see such an unbearable side of the Bilos family."
Elder Tree's attitude was very humble.
Because he was very clear about the weight of the Noah family and the weight of the Dark Earl's name!
Dark Earl: "You're too humble. Even if I don't say it, you should have guessed it in your heart, right?"
Elder Tree smiled and did not answer. Instead, he changed the topic. "About the Garden Labyrinth ruins that Dark Earl mentioned earlier …"
Although Elder Tree was also very concerned about the disaster in Billon Tree Ting, he was also very concerned about the underground waterway that the Dark Earl mentioned. Moreover, as the host, he had to stay here to contact the Black Earl. It wasn't good for him to keep silent, and it wasn't good for him to talk about the disaster in the Bi Lun Tree Ting. He might as well continue to talk about the underground sewer.
However, the Dark Earl did not continue the conversation. Instead, he gestured for Wa Yi to look into the darkness. "We can talk about the Garden Labyrinth ruins later. Moreover, someone is here now … "
Wa Yi did not understand what the Dark Earl was doing at first, but after a few seconds, he saw four people walking out of the darkness.
The two at the front were Gaynor and Shaina, who had just left.
The two at the back were a man wearing a leafy mask and a jade-green robe, while the other was a white-haired, green-eyed youth.
The man in the robe was not unfamiliar to Wa Yi. He had seen him at the Garden Labyrinth before. He was the patriarch of the Bilos family, who called himself 'Starleaf'.
When they returned to Billon Tree Ting from the Garden Labyrinth, Patriarch Starleaf had immediately escaped into the darkness and disappeared. Wa Yi was still puzzled at the time as to why the patriarch of the Bilos family had disappeared. However, seeing that Elder Tree and the rest were not surprised at all, he did not speak.
He did not expect Patriarch Starleaf to return at this time.
Moreover, he came back with Gaynor and Shaina … However, who was that white-haired, green-eyed youth?
Wa Yi recalled Elder Tree's instructions to Gaynor and Shaina, and a guess arose in his heart. Could this white-haired, green-eyed youth be Lucia from the Starry Street?
Soon, Wa Yi's guess was confirmed.
After Gaynor appeared, he scratched his head and spoke first. "We were just about to look for Number Six when we met the patriarch and Lucia halfway."
