Soon, several figures hidden in the shadows slowly emerged, revealing only a few corpses.
Even outside the room, people were affected; several assassins dressed in black fell from the shadows and trees.
Simmons, who was lying in ambush nearby, led several elite city guards to intercept the fleeing soldiers and took them all away, along with the knocked-out assassins.
Before leaving, he made a point of saying goodbye to his daughter, seemingly quite satisfied with her growth.
"Finally some peace and quiet. Time to do something else," Luo Fan muttered to himself as Ai Li hugged him tightly.
"Thank you!"
"Don't mention it, you're my precious darling!" Luo Fan quickly replied, as Ai Li's performance was already quite good.
"Mmm~!"
Teacher Gandalf stayed a while longer, giving pointers to the girls and glancing at the slime a few times before slowly disappearing.
This slime actually understands spatial elements. Could it be that it has already mastered those two spells from the Royal Treasury?
If that's the case, this thing's comprehension is even stronger than mine. Its spiritual awareness seems quite good too. Is it really just a slime? How come I've never heard of such an intelligent magical beast before?
Could it be a new breed cultivated by Lilith? Otherwise, why would she have her daughter form a contract?
Perhaps I should take some time to visit the Demon Sealing Tower. I wonder if my old friends are still alive.
A lot has happened in the capital recently: the invasion of the Demon Abyss, the ruins of the Sea God Cult, and the reappearance of the Elf Secret Realm. Could it be that a new war is about to begin?
Luo Fan was unaware that he had been targeted by a Saint Magister, and was still comforting the girl next to him.
The location had been exposed, and the group returned to the princess's residence to continue their special training with Danielle.
Even Ahri joined in this time, training with Huoyu. With Xiao Huihui's participation, the mansion became lively once again.
Luo Fan sneaked into the library of the Second Magic and Martial Arts Academy to look at some books for a while, and only set off again late at night after confirming the time.
There isn't much information about the Elf Realm, but besides most of the wood-type monsters, there seem to be a few special monsters, mainly wind and lightning-type, and even quite a few light-type.
The older sister said to try to kill as few wood-type creatures as possible. What is the reason for this?
Forget it, let's go inside and talk about it. Taking care of business first is more important.
Duke Curry's Palace, here I come!
The Duke's mansion was still brightly lit, with many servants busily tidying up something.
Luo Fan didn't pay much attention, since the monitoring array inside seemed to be fully activated, and going astray could cause unnecessary trouble.
But we certainly can't let these guys escape easily. We might as well add some spice to make them even more excited.
Near the previously prepared spatial node, several Tier 5 scrolls were left behind. Using his clones to activate them one by one, Luo Fan's figure hid again.
Duke Curry was in a real bind. He hadn't expected his son's scheme to be exposed so quickly, and he didn't even know which side had leaked the information.
His investigation revealed that Simmons had been lying in wait nearby, clearly having prior intelligence. As for who within the academy was behind it, he had absolutely no clue.
Looking at his eldest son, he felt a headache coming on. His son managed most of the family's businesses, and if the investigation really traced back to him, it could bring even bigger trouble.
How dare he? He dared to act on his own before even capturing the succubus, and only revealed the truth after failing.
It seems that ever since he suffered that attack from that vixen, the once arrogant him has gradually become indulgent, and he still hasn't emerged from the shadows of the past. Now, suffering a similar blow, it's no wonder he's acting so impulsively.
"You, go back to your fiefdom and reflect on your actions. Don't come out without my permission." The Duke sighed; he would have to groom a new successor again.
"Father, I hid very well. It must have been those assassins who leaked the information. They definitely didn't know it was me who attacked." The young master clung to his father's leg, struggling desperately.
"Father, you must believe me. I don't want to go back to my fiefdom!"
Duke Curry shook his head, looked at the deep night, and sighed deeply.
My son has too little self-control, especially in such turbulent times!
Just then, an explosion suddenly occurred inside the manor, and many people exclaimed in surprise.
"Get up. Investigate the situation at home first. As for returning to your fiefdom, we'll talk about that later!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!" The young master hurriedly ran out.
"When will you finally grow up completely?" After saying that, Duke Curry shook his head and followed him out.
As soon as the explosion occurred, Luo Fan slipped into the treasure vault and ransacked it. The newly expanded ring was filled with a considerable amount of treasure, including two mid-level forbidden spell scrolls—a truly bountiful harvest.
After leaving a triggered Tier 7 Wind Blade Scroll near the cornerstone, Luo Fan carefully slipped out and began looting the next location.
Since we've already started, we might as well make a killing this time, or we'll miss our chance. Anyway, those dukes are all at odds with the emperor, so we might as well drain them dry in one go. This way, we can keep the emperor in the spotlight.
After all, raising a girl is very expensive, and Xiaoxue's runes are still undecided!
The loud explosion late at night startled the patrol team once again. A short while later, Simmons stormed out, cursing.
It's obvious that it was that slime's doing again, but who is the victim this time?
At the Duke of Curry's mansion, the old man held his eldest son, tears streaming down his face.
Looking at the destroyed pavilion and the corpses mangled by magic, Simmons didn't know what to say. He simply sent people to find out what was going on.
Looking at the servants rescuing people in the ruins, he suddenly felt that it was a very lucky thing that he hadn't gone against that slime.
The princess said that thing had comprehended the element of space and might even have mastered spatial magic. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Fortunately, he has a good relationship with his daughter, so there shouldn't be any conflict.
The investigation was completed, and no clues were found about the murderer, just as expected; that little guy was just that cautious.
"Simmons, I beg you, you must find the murderer and avenge my son!" Duke Curry looked over, seemingly having made up his mind.
"Your Grace, please rest assured, I will not overlook any clues."
Seeing him sigh, Simmons said nothing more. He simply sent someone immediately to inform His Majesty of the situation and see what his opinions were.
It seems like ever since Luo Fan arrived, there's been a lot more chaos in the city. As the commander of the city guards, I'm always cleaning up his messes; that little brat just can't stay still.
Not long after returning to his residence, His Majesty's decree arrived: to investigate the mastermind and appease the Kuli family.
Before he could even catch his breath, he received news that many nobles planned to leave the city that night, and it seemed very urgent, so he had to handle it personally.
Luo Fan, what exactly have you done?!
By the time he arrived near the city gate, those guys had already forced their way out of the city gate in their carriages and disappeared into the vast night.
"Sir, we couldn't stop them!" Several guards lying near the city gate reported the news with difficulty.
"Has the specific identity been confirmed?"
"Not yet, but judging from the type of carriage, it belongs to several dukes."
"Take care of your injuries first, I'll handle the rest!"
When he found the dukes' mansions involved in the incident, their stewards entertained him, all giving the same story: there was an extremely urgent matter in their fiefdoms, and they hoped to gain Simmons's understanding.
Even after working on it until the next day, Simmons still hadn't figured out what was going on.
The fact that those guys left in such a hurry, especially at such a critical moment, made him feel very strange. Could it be that the murderer wasn't that little bastard?
