Inside Town of the Anonymous. historical

Mason, the ‘Azure Dragon’, and Fred, ‘the Knight of Frost’, slowly landed in front of Mattwe who was known as ‘Anger of Earth’.

“It seems that you’ve both picked the right way. Following me to the Townkeepers’ House for punishment is a smart choice.” said Mattwe in the rising tone, showing his sarcasm.

This tone was quite annoying but it would not be a big problem in peacetime. However, as now the adventurers in Town of the Anonymous were under great pressure and anxiety, this tone sounded very offensive and could easily set them on fire.

Mason’s fists clenched tight and it took him great effort to control his fury, “...Mattwe, I hope that I can go through the joint questioning of the elves and the sorcerer’s first and then go to the house. You can follow me all the time in case I decide to run away. Does that sound okay to you?”

There was no way that a knight squire or a knight below senior-rank could bargain with a town keeper like this. But as Mason and Fred were radiant knights, as long as they were willing to take the punishment, some extra requests should be granted.

Mason was ready that he would emphasize the strangeness of Mattwe and his people when he was going through the sorcerers and elves’ investigation. In this way, even if Mattwe had got other plans, he would not be able to do anything to them as they would be under close watch.

Mattwe, however, burst out the dry laughter, “No, that doesn’t sound okay to me. You’re wasting my time! You’re a radiant knight, and so am I! Every second of my time is precious. You two better follow me to the house right now, or I’d show no mercy.”

His voice was cold, and that was his final warning.

Mason and Fred exchanged a look between each other and started talking to each other secretly using the blood power of the Azure Dragon.

“Is there any personal enmity between Mattwe and us?” Mason asked confusedly. He wondered why Mattwe had to be so harsh. There were two possibilities: One was that they had pissed him off badly somehow earlier, or Mattwe had got other plans.”

Fred’s eyes were ice-blue, and they now looked very serious, “No, we barely talked to him. Therefore, the reason that he’s behaving like this must be something deeper. We cannot go to that house!”

As a radiant knight, his instinct told him that if they were going to follow Mattwe to the Townkeepers’ House, they would be in great danger. This feeling had been piling up on his heart, and it was going to explode at any time.

Mason very slightly nodded and he turned to look at ‘Anger of Earth’, “Mattwe, you’re not the one who decides. We need to see those senior elves and sorcerers. They’ll be judging!”

His voice was very loud and determined. He was trying to make every adventurer nearby hear, as well as the elves.

The elves who closed the town looked back. But when they found that it was Mattwe who was doing his business, they all turned back.

Mason did not care but kept going. He roared like a dragon, “Do you have the guts to see the sorcerers with us!”

The positions in the conversation had been exchanged.

Then he turned around and walked to the other side of the town, followed by Fred. The muscles in the back were in full alert.

Mattwe sneered and said out aloud, “The sorcerers and senior elves have commissioned us for this!”

Before his words faded, the land that Mason and Fred were standing on started waving. The waving was also shaking the houses and cabins along the street. They were going to collapse at any time.

On full alert, Mason quickly reacted. A thick bolt of lightning was summoned and fiercely launched the strike at Mattwe.

Within a second, his body had grown two times bigger. His skin was covered in azure scales and between the scales there were jumping electric arcs.

Fred’s sword cut into the wind and the temperature in the small town suddenly dropped. In the cold wind, pieces of ice as sharp as sword blades swirled at Mattwe in the strong wind.

On the way, the blue blade light formed sharp icicles and a thick layer of ice on the ground.

At this time, the place where Mattwe was standing cracked and the scorching red lava gushed out. The extreme temperature resisted the frost and ice. Meanwhile, Mattwe’s hand grabbed a brownish-yellow huge hammer energized by bolts of lightning.

“Senior-rank elves and sorcerers... They have helped Mattwe?” Mason quickly talked to Fred using the special blood power.

Fred jumped up and hacked downwards. The thick ice brought by the sword blocked the lava.

“Even if they have, it is only a small part of them. We make this big to let all of them know!”

As a radiant knight, he was very decisive.

When he was about to launch his storm attack, he suddenly felt that their small battlefield had been separated from the town and entered a piece of shadow.

All the roarings, storms, and bolts of lightning had all been trapped within the shadow. There was no way that these could get out and attract the elves and sorcerers’ attention.

It was Shadow Baron! Mason’s heart missed a beat. Shadow Baron was another townkeeper. How could he come so fast? There must be something wrong!

In the shadow, there was a figure jumping around. The figure had taken total control of Fred, as it was so fast jumping around that it could jump out and launch its attack at any time.

Mattwe dragged the heavy hammer and jumped at Mason, “They’re coming very soon. Stop being stupid! The punishment won’t kill you!”

He was using words to weaken Mason and Fred’s fighting wills.

Mason was getting more and more angry by Mattwe’s words, and he knew that the situation was getting even more dangerous. Making up his mind, he suddenly turned himself to a azure dragon in the sky.

In the blue sky, the azure sky did not look very clear. Wrapped in electric currents, the dragon suddenly exploded like fireworks!

The silver-white electric snakes filled in the entire space in the shadow, turning this place into an ocean of lightning.

The shadow was being penetrated by the lightning power!

This was the maximum of Mason’s blood power and the forbidden power in his blood. All this was to break the shadow and make the elves and sorcerers know.

This was the struggle between life and death!

......

In Nature’s Residence, after a long time hesitation, Iristine finally said, “I’m not against it, but searching Ms. Martha’s treehouse will infuriate all the elves from Nature’s Abhorrence. We have to be cautious. I have another plan. We can sneak in and see if we can find any strong evidence, and then the thorough investigation can be carried out without any problems. If no evidence could be found, it would not cause any big trouble.”

His hands in pockets, Felipe said in the cold tone, “So we’re going to sneak in like thieves? What if Martha finds out? Who’s to take the risk?”

“Your Highness,” Felipe added, “there’s one thing that you have to figure out. We’re invited here to investigate what has caused the abyssal gap and pollution. We are not the one asking. We have doubts, and we ask. You try your best to support us. We don’t take any risk. Because if we cannot find the reason, we are not the one worrying. You understand?”

Jurisian tried to make this situation easier, “You Highness, it’s in fact quite simple. All elves have to contribute to this to stop the pollution of the elvish tree. So please, your highness, please report this to Her Highness so that we can search Ms. Martha’s treehouse without any concerns. I know it’s hard, but we need your help.”

One playing the good person, the other bad, Felipe and Jurisian made the princess have nothing else to say.

Heidi said to Annick through the telepathic bond, “Her Highness is still too inexperienced, but we do have good reasons.”

When Heidi was talking, she turned to look at Iristine. Suddenly, she saw a dog-sized dragon behind Iristine. The little dragon had half-transparent scales, and it was busy enjoying the many colorful berries held in its paws.

“Alferris, why are you here?” Heidi was surprised. No one could predict where and when the Little Crystal wanted to show up.

Alferris said seriously, “I was playing with my elf friends in the nearby forest, but I heard that you need someone to sneak into Martha’s treehouse, so I am here. I’m good at illusion spells. I am in the seventh circle. No one’s more suitable than me!”

Treehouse. Searching. Staff Bearer. Alferris could see that piles of treasure were waving hands at it!

The corner of Heidi’s mouth twitched a bit. How sharp Alferris’s instinct was!

“Alright. I’ll talk to my mom.” Iristine finally agreed.

Alferris, however, was a bit disappointed, “So there’s no need to sneak in?”

......

On Scarlet Plain, Lucien, Natasha, and Malfurion had approached the Fortress of Flesh. However, the demons in it were totally quiet. No one came out of the castle, from a little demon minion to a senior-rank demon. That was because all the three of them had totally released the stressful air from their legendary power!

The sky was bloody red. The red was dark, like the universe was close enough to touch. The light of different elements was dazzling. From the soil soaked in blood, strange green plants grew out, stopping and extinguishing the sand and curses in the air. However, the fine electric arcs in space contained horrible power strong enough to destroy everything.

To those demons which were used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, facing these three people, they would never take the initiative to step out of the fortress.

“Sovereign of Blood isn’t in.” Lucien had expected this. “We restrain the air and approach the altar in the array of rocks.”

At this time, a horrible roaring burst from the array of rocks and made the entire plain shake. The angry voice arrived and filled in the space.

“The smell of human beings! I’m going to kill you all!”
