Upon arriving at the central magic plaza, Leo Reeves remained silent, ignoring the surrounding chatter and simply sitting quietly.
What are they doing here? Are they waiting for the enemy to come and capture them?
Generally speaking, coming to such public places is like walking into a trap; various forces will come to arrest them upon hearing the news.
But now that Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze are around, it's hard to say who will walk right into our trap!
He believed in Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze's abilities, not only based on his granddaughter's description of their strength, but also on his years of experience in judging people.
...
Lin Qianqian didn't care what Leo Reeves was planning. She had no time to wait around here, and she found the scenery in the square to be very beautiful.
Ignoring everything else, they called Yunze over to go see the Magic Rainbow Fountain first, since it wasn't far away and they could see whatever happened.
This magical rainbow fountain doesn't spray upwards; instead, as the magical rainbow appears, streams of water follow, creating a dreamlike effect.
There's hardly anyone around now, because everyone's gone to see the city lord who suddenly appeared.
Now it's just Yunze and Lin Qianqian here, which is perfect, as it saves them from having to squeeze in with others.
Belle and Luo Zexuan didn't teleport here; they went to rescue people.
...
Before long, a group of swordsmen rode up at full speed, followed by several mages in black cloaks.
Why do we say they were floating? Because although they weren't riding horses, they floated there on magic carpets.
The group was led by Kent, the newly appointed director of the Patrol Division.
The former director refused to cooperate with the Wilder brothers and was dismissed and imprisoned.
Kent was able to get this position because he was Wilder's confidant.
After Kent arrived at the square, he immediately spotted Leo Reeves sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, seemingly resting.
He was startled. Why was the city lord still alive and safe here?
He knew the cause and effect of the matter. Logically speaking, even if the city lord was not dead, he should be lying in bed in a deep coma. What exactly happened?
He subconsciously glanced at Wilder, who was standing motionless beside him.
At this moment, Wilder's body was unable to move. However, because the silencing had been lifted earlier, he was able to speak.
Upon seeing that it was one of his own men, he immediately shouted, "Kent, the city lord has been taken hostage by those two men brought by Baker. Arrest them!"
As she spoke, she frantically winked at him.
Kent, who had become Wilder's confidant, was certainly no fool; he immediately understood what was going on.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Arrest Baker and those two."
The swordsman and mage following behind him paused for a moment, looked at each other, and then at Leo Reeves in front of him.
Leo Revey had already opened his eyes, staring intently at them.
The patrol officers felt as if they were being watched by a raptor, and dared not move an inch.
"What are you all standing there for? Arrest them right now!"
At this moment, Leo Reeves spoke up: "Wild Reeves and Harlan Reeves colluded with foreign enemies, poisoned this city lord, and attempted to seize Reeves City. Their crimes are unforgivable. Now that you have turned over a new leaf and reformed, I can overlook your past mistakes."
The patrol officers were at a loss after hearing Leo Reeves's words. They didn't know who was right and who was wrong, and who they should listen to.
“Don’t listen to him, he was…” Kent was about to retort.
A soft shout rang out, "Shut up!" Then countless vines appeared out of thin air and entangled the patrol officers.
This time, Lin Qianqian released the Abyss Steel Vine and Vine Tree that she was used to.
The Abyss Steel Vine first targeted the swordsmen, because they were carrying greatswords and wearing iron armor.
The Abyss Steel Vine is sensitive to metal, so it naturally targeted them as soon as it appeared.
Having no other option, the vine tree turned its attention to the magicians.
However, the patrol officers were all very skilled, and they reacted quickly. The swordsman drew his sword and slashed at the attacking vines, while the magician immediately began chanting a spell.
Unfortunately, the swordsman's greatsword clanged against the vines, leaving only faint marks at most, without cutting them off.
Because their opponent is the Abyss Steel Vine, which is both incredibly hard and extremely resilient.
As for the magicians, before they could even finish their spells, they were quickly bound tightly by vines. After all, only a few people could cast spells silently and instantly like Belle.
Everyone looked up and saw that the magic square was now surrounded by countless vines.
These guys haven't been out for a long time. When they finally came out and saw a fight going on, and snacks and drinks to satisfy their cravings, they were overjoyed and danced with glee.
Although it's hard to tell which are their hands and which are their feet, anyone with eyes can tell they're very excited.
"Don't touch the old man sitting over there, or the boy standing next to him."
Lin Qianqian gave instructions to the excited vines, then watched them frolic with cold eyes.
Occasionally, when I see a vine about to suffer, I step in to help it.
After all, this is a magical world, and many swordsmen and magicians possess magical items.
Sure enough, after a swordsman was caught by the Abyss Steel Vines, his movable right hand pulled a crystal tube out of his pocket.
The liquid inside immediately corroded a large hole in the abyss steel vine, and the vine's invisible screaming sound waves traveled far and wide.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian quickly swung a sword aura, severing the corroded steel vine, and then channeled a ball of wood-elemental spiritual energy to heal it.
After receiving treatment from Lin Qianqian, the steel vine curled itself up into a ball and nestled close to her, absorbing the wood elemental energy.
Lin Qianqian glanced at it, then turned her gaze back to what was in front of her.
The scene was chaotic, but it didn't affect anyone else because ordinary citizens scattered and ran away when the patrol team arrived, leaving only them and the patrol team members behind.
The old man and the boy whose names were called dared not utter a sound, and could only watch silently.
Lin Qianqian was in a bad mood at the moment. She was happily watching the magic rainbow fountain when this group of people came over and made a ruckus, interrupting her enjoyment of the view.
Couldn't you have come a little later and let her finish reading first?
She walked up to Leo Reeves. "If anyone comes over and isn't one of yours, just give the word and we'll arrest them. Those who are willing to turn to the light can stay, and those who aren't will be given as treats to my little pets."
Lin Qianqian pointed to the surrounding vines, and saw that the chaos was almost over, with the Abyss Steel Vines and the Vine Trees exchanging spoils.
After stripping the swordsmen of their greatswords, helmets, and armor, the Abyss Steel Vines, uninterested in the remaining bodies, offered them up to the vine trees to suck their blood, as a favor.
Meanwhile, the vine tree used its thin vines to give the daggers and magic stones it had taken from the magician to the Abyss Steel Vine.
The two vines were cooperating perfectly. The group, including Kent, was hung from the vines like sausages.
At this moment, the vines on the vine tree have already stretched out small thorns, sucking the blood of the mages and swordsmen.
Meanwhile, the Abyss Steel Vines had already found places to coil up and begin absorbing the metal spoils.
