"They're really not here?" Elder Tree frowned as he listened to Night Tree's report.
Night Tree No. 9 nodded. "We used energy infiltration and caused the surrounding spatial energy to be extremely chaotic. It almost caused the space to collapse, but there were still no leakage of information or clues. We can basically confirm that.
They've already left the area we set up. "
The area they set up was the area restricted by the confinement formation.
Night Tree No. 9 said that Stopp and the rest had left the confinement area. That meant that they were truly out of control.
"Impossible … We have so many seals. How can they leave?!" Gaynor had an expression of disbelief, but he quickly thought of something. "They might be hiding in a deeper layer of space.
You, go and let Sea Eagle and Yakee strengthen the chaotic energy.
Let the space collapse! By then …
They definitely won't be able to hide anymore! "
Night Tree No. 9 lowered his head and said, "Lady Ullus did not allow the collapse test."
"Ullus? She's clearly a victim, but she rejected the test. Does she intend to let the attackers go just like that? " Gaynor roared loudly. He was speaking to Night Tree No. 9, but his gaze pierced through the layers of energy and looked at Ullus in the distance.
Ullus heard Gaynor's question. She pinched her slightly swollen brows in annoyance. "The collapse of the space will cause damage to Paradise. If the Bilos family is willing to fully compensate for Paradise's losses, I can agree to let the nearby space collapse."
"Of course we …" Just as Gaynor was about to say 'agree', he was interrupted by Elder Tree.
"Let's leave it at that. It's useless even if it collapses. They've already left. "
Gaynor turned to look at Elder Tree in confusion. "Why?"
Elder Tree said softly, "The area we set up is only one step away from collapsing. If they were still here, they would have come out long ago. Since they didn't come out, it means that they must have left. "
Gaynor still did not agree. "We can't let go of any possibility."
In Gaynor's eyes, he had to at least see the space collapse.
Only then could he officially confirm that they had left.
Elder Tree looked at Gaynor helplessly.
He shook his head and did not say anything. Instead, he glanced at Shaina. Shaina also understood what Elder Tree meant. She sighed softly in her heart, walked forward, and whispered in Gaynor's ear.
"If it's someone else, we can't let go of any possibility. However, Stop and the others are extremely powerful as a whole. With the strength they've revealed, they're more than capable of facing us head on and leaving safely. "
"Under such circumstances, it is impossible for them to hide in the confinement circle for so long at the risk of space collapse and annihilation."
On the surface, there were already three official Magi and three Magus level magical beasts. Moreover, their battle strength was practically unharmed. On their side, Sea Eagle and Yakee were missing limbs, Elder Tree was injured, and Patriarch Xingye was seriously injured … Although they had more people on their side, if they really fought with the other side, they might not be much of a threat.
Unless the Dark Earl could convince Dorcas and another Magus to help.
But even so, he might not be able to make the other party stay. If Stopp asked the Hercules to fight to the death,
They had the same chance to escape.
Thinking about it this way would make sense.
Stopp and the others clearly had the strength to face them head-on, but they didn't use it. This meant that they had a better way to leave easily.
Even if they really hid in the space crevice, after going through so many rounds of energy attacks, they definitely understood that they might be exposed to the risk of space collapse.
After all, if space collapsed, not even a blade of grass would grow. Would they risk being annihilated and bet that the Bilos Family wouldn't dare to collapse space?
Desperadoes might dare, but they wouldn't.
Gaynor also understood what Shaina meant, but he was still unwilling to give up.
"The women in Elysium are all vampires. If they really destroy Elysium, they have all sorts of ways to devour the Bilos Family. Moreover, Elysium is currently in danger. Those witches will think of all sorts of ways to fill in the gaps. If the Bilos Family is targeted by them, the consequences will be unimaginable. " Shaina transmitted her voice, "You don't want to see the Bilos Family suffer such heavy losses and have to pay more, right?"
Gaynor also knew some of the recent rumors about Elysium. After thinking carefully for a moment, he nodded and did not urge them to make space collapse.
However, Gaynor still did not understand, "If Stopp and the others really left, how did they do it?"
Faced with Gaynor's question, no one knew how to answer.
Finally, Gaynor looked at Black Earl.
Black Earl sensed everyone's gaze and said indifferently, "Why, do you suspect that I opened a back door for them?"
Gaynor hurriedly shook his head. Although he was rash at times, he was no fool, "No, no."
Shaina also hurriedly added, "Actually, we are too stupid. We don't know how those attackers escaped."
In other words, they could only rely on Black Earl to give them pointers.
As the creator of the imprisonment formation, Black Earl should logically give them an explanation.
However, Black Earl was also a little confused.
To a certain extent, he actually supported Gaynor's suggestion to make Elysium's space completely collapse … Because he could sense that the imprisonment formation he set up was not activated.
This meant that either Stopp and the others were still hiding in a certain layer of space, or they used other methods to bypass the imprisonment formation.
Black Earl personally hoped that the former was the case, not only because the former was easy to find, but also because there was another important reason: If it was the latter, it might involve some 'outside' methods.
Because of this, Black Earl actually supported Gaynor's suggestion.
However, Black Earl knew that the answer was often the opposite of what he hoped for.
Although he did not want to admit it, Black Earl could confirm that Stopp and the others had already left through the various signs at the scene and the feedback from his own investigation.
This meant that there was a high chance that they had some 'outside' methods.
Any 'outside' method was special, mysterious, and hard to predict … At least, with the information that Black Earl currently had, he could not deduce what method Stopp and the others used to leave.
"I can't give you an answer yet. I need more clues." Black Earl considered and decided to tell the truth.
Gaynor suddenly thought of something and pointed to the side. "They should be able to give us some clues."
Gaynor was pointing at Angor's location.
Black Earl narrowed his eyes and looked at Gaynor. "Do you know who he is?"
Gaynor was about to say that they were acquaintances of Lord Earl. Previously, the Black Earl had asked them to stall for time. Logically speaking, they should know the Black Earl.
But before Gaynor could say anything, Shaina stepped forward. "Lord Black Earl, Gaynor is referring to Lucia. Those attackers stayed in Starry Street for a long time, so Lucia must know something."
Gaynor was indeed pointing at Angor and Dorcas' location. However, Lucia was also standing beside Angor. They seemed to know each other and were talking about something.
Shaina understood that Gaynor was referring to Angor's group. However, from the Black Earl's rhetorical question, "Do you know who he is?", she felt that something was wrong.
"He" wasn't referring to Red Sword Dorcas. It was another wizard she didn't know.
Judging from Black Earl's tone, this wizard seemed to be someone important.
Lucia wasn't the only one. Black Earl's descendant, an apprentice named Wai, was also standing beside the wizard. Wai was even looking at the wizard with starry eyes.
Wai dared to show such an expression to an outsider in front of Black Earl, which meant the wizard must be someone important.
Shaina didn't want Gaynor to offend the wizard, so she stepped forward without hesitation and changed Gaynor's words.
Gaynor didn't understand why Shaina would do that. However, as a long-time companion, Gaynor didn't try to deny it.
Black Earl also knew that Shaina was lying through her teeth, but he couldn't deny that her words made sense. Lucia was standing beside Angor, and she might know something about Stop's secret. If they wanted to find clues about "other" means, Lucia would be a good choice.
The Dark Earl did not expose Shaina's lie. He said calmly, "What you said makes sense. Perhaps we can get some clues from Lucia."
With that, Black Earl turned around and flew back to Angor.
As for the Confinement Magic Circle here, it was left to Elder Tree to preside over … Anyway, the Confinement Magic Circle had already run away, so the Confinement Magic Circle was useless. Whether to dismantle it or to keep it, it was left to the people of the Bilos family to decide.
…
Angor was chatting with Lucia on the other side.
He didn't expect Lucia to show up here, but it was also reasonable.
Lucia was the caretaker of Starry Street. Normally speaking, she wouldn't meet with the big families in the wizard market.
However, considering the terrible state of Bjorn Tree Garden and the fact that the attackers came from Starry Street, as the caretaker of Starry Street in name, Lucia still had to come out and explain the situation.
After all, the Bilos Family wasn't the only one who was attacked in Bjorn Tree Garden. Many wizard organizations were attacked as well, so it was reasonable for Lucia to show up.
Lucia quickly approached Angor and began to talk to him.
Lucia suspected that Angor was an alchemist from Floating Mech City. The destruction of Sky Tower's registration center was like a slap to Floating Mech City's face. Angor was sure that the Bilos Family was the cause, not Lucia. However, not everyone was a reasonable person. If someone sided with Lucia, Starry Street would be in big trouble.
In order to prevent Starry Street from being affected too much, Lucia had to ask Angor to speak for her.
Angor considered Lucia's request and didn't refuse. Lucia didn't want Angor to speak for her. She just wanted to find out the truth fairly.
That was something Angor could do. It was just a simple message anyway. He could get it done in a few minutes.
Besides, there was another reason why Angor agreed to Lucia's request.
Since Lucia wanted to find out the truth, should she tell him about Stop and the others?
Otherwise, how could he prove that Lucia had nothing to do with them?
Angor also wanted to know more about these people, which was why he agreed to Lucia's request without hesitation.
However, compared to Stop and Sharon, Angor was more interested in the "good guy" named Eckstedt.
What did Eckstedt do to break his illusion?
At first, Lucia didn't want to answer Angor's question. But when she realized that Angor wasn't interested in Stop and Sharon at all, Lucia sighed in relief.
Stop and Sharon rarely talked to outsiders in Starry Street, so Lucia was the only one who knew some basic information about them. If Angor really wanted to know more about them, Lucia had no choice but to tell him some secrets.
Eckstedt, on the other hand, was different. During his time in Starry Street, he met many people and was quite popular. Naturally, he left behind a lot of personal information during this process.
Lucia wasn't the only one who knew this information. Other people in Starry Street and those who were helped by Eckstedt all knew about it.
What Angor wanted to know was semi-public information about Eckstedt, so Lucia didn't mind sharing it with him.
According to Lucia's information, Angor gradually learned more about Eckstedt.
Just like what he told Eckstedt when he first met him, Eckstedt was also a "good guy" in other people's eyes.
To the light wizards in Starry Street, Eckstedt's personal comments were excellent.
Sometimes, there would be negative comments, and some extreme comments. Most of them were from people who were jealous, framed, or felt unfair because they didn't benefit from it. These comments were not useful at all.
Generally speaking, Eckstedt was a good guy.
However, in the eyes of people in Starry Street, Eckstedt was also full of mysteries.
For example, Eckstedt's background was very mysterious. There were no records about him in the southern wizarding region. Also, Eckstedt looked like a Bloodline Sorcerer, but he did not admit it. When you asked him what kind of Bloodline Sorcerer he was, he never told you. Other than that, Eckstedt treated certain Bloodline Sorcerers differently. On the surface, it seemed that Eckstedt did not like the Bloodline Sorcerer very much.
Of course, there were also some issues of taste and clothing that were discussed by others. However, these were not too important.
After listening to Lucia's information, Angor only learned more about Eckstedt's personality. He still didn't know anything about Eckstedt's abilities.
Angor considered and decided to ask directly. "Did Eckstedt use any special abilities during his time in Starry Street?"
