Chapter 95: 094 New Magic Tools?
Lamijion, the street at the East City Gate.
In amid a tumultuous and hurried sound of footsteps, the knights and adventurers carrying out the secret escort mission, led by Beren, rushed along the road as if being whipped to go faster.
Vivian, Tielle, Lu Muya, and Merica, a party of four, were among them, but their brows were deeply furrowed, with expressions of confusion and utter surprise.
It wasn’t only Vivian and the others, Beren, Leon, Alis, Udilis, and Magre all wore similar expressions, prompting their hasty rush toward the direction of the city gate.
And by the time they reached the gate, it was already overcrowded, packed with throngs of citizens.
It seemed as if the citizens were trying to leave the city, peering out curiously as if drawn by something, buzzing with excitement.
...
The gate’s guards were holding them back, not allowing them to exit the city.
“Lord Beren!”
“Lord Beren!”
Seeing Beren leading the large group towards them, the guards finally breathed a sigh of relief and called out.
But Beren didn’t even bother to acknowledge them, he simply led everyone through the city gate and out of Lamijion.
However, just as everyone left the city and stepped into the outskirts, an anomaly suddenly occurred.
“Boom!”
Accompanied by an earth-shaking roar, a severe explosion occurred ahead. The blast spread out like shockwaves, attacking the surroundings.
The people from Beren’s party, who had just hurried out of the city, didn’t even have time to react before being struck by the blast wave.
“Ahh!”
“Ah!”
“Lord Leon!”
Taken by surprise, Lu Muya, Merica, and Udilis were blown away, crying out in shock.
The others were similar, screaming in alarm as if hit by a sudden typhoon, being blown around haphazardly, nearly collapsing to the ground.
No, Leon and Magre had already fallen to the ground, one covered in dirt, the other screaming in pain, and to those unaware, it might seem that they suffered from some inhumane treatment.
“....!”
Only Beren, as a Level 68 Knight, almost reflexively drew his longsword from his waist, blocking in front of himself. Vivian quickly pulled out a shield and placed it in front of Lu Muya and Merica, shielding them from the incoming blast wave. Tielle went even further; with a flash of her blade, she split the oncoming wind, dissipating it into a gentle breeze.
“Be careful!”
Aside from these three, the only other who could react to this sudden blast was Alis. He held onto his teammates’ shoulders, firmly bracing against the wind, steadying everyone.
“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to scare everyone. I was just testing out the new Magic Tools I got. If it frightened everyone, I am truly sorry.”
Shane said these words.
“Testing new Magic Tools?”
All present suddenly had their attention captivated by Shane’s statement.
Vivian and Tielle, in particular, stared at Shane with wide-eyed astonishment.
Shane, unconcerned, scratched his head as if he truly felt embarrassed, chuckling to himself.
“You all should know, right? Last time it was thanks to a powerful Magic Tool that I was able to take down a person from the Old Demon Clan Faction in almost a surprise attack. Since then, I’ve developed a bit of an interest in powerful Magic Tools.”
Shane’s words caused many eyes to turn toward him.
Especially Beren, who as if he had only just noticed Shane’s presence, suddenly exclaimed in realization, “So you’re the new Adventurer that President Riley took notice of after subduing Killian?”
“That’s right, that’s right,” said Shane with a cheery smile. “I apologize for the disturbance, I truly am sorry.”
He spoke as such, but there was not the slightest hint of embarrassment on Shane’s face.
But the others could hardly focus on this at the moment.
For their attention had been completely captivated by Shane’s recent topic.
“Are you saying you were testing new Magic Tools here?” Beren glanced at the terrifying scene of scorched earth before them, and with a shift in his gaze towards Shane, he asked in a deep voice, “Are you telling me that all this was caused by your experimentation with Magic Tools?”
“Well, that’s about the size of it,” Shane admitted unabashedly, adding, “The Magic Tool I used on Killian last time was just too powerful, and it left a deep impression on me. I couldn’t help but want to replicate that kind of tool, so I had someone make it. The result was a bit mediocre, but I guess it’s passable.”
Upon hearing this, the same thought appeared in everyone’s mind:
If this is considered mediocre, then what kind of Magic Tools would actually be satisfying?
But gradually, realizing what Shane meant, a few people’s eyes sparkled with interest.
Like Leon.
Like Magre.
And like Beren.
Out of them, Magre was the least able to contain his eagerness and blurted loudly,
“Hey, are you saying you’ve got more of those powerful Magic Tools?”
To this question, Shane responded without hesitation,
“Of course.” Shane answered proudly, with his head held high, “And I have quite a lot of them, you know?”
All at once, a gleam appeared in everyone’s eyes.
That gleam was named greed.
