394 One wave after another
"Damn Mefara! Damn Demon God!"
Sitting in the hall of Longxiao Palace, Al raised his glass and drank it all. The burning feeling of his throat made him scold again.
Beside him, Brancas also raised his head and drank the glass of wine, followed Al and cursed "Damn the Demon God".
Now it is the fourth day that Al has arrived in Xueman City. He originally planned to take Auston and Ebony Blade back to Silent City after catching Auston, but human calculations are not as good as heavenly calculations. Three days ago, when Mefara took Auston away, he even knocked Al awkwardly. Although the system helped Al block the attack, some of the aftermath still hit Al, leaving him to lie on the hospital bed for two days, and became a "patient" with Brancaise.
Brancais was injured a few days earlier than Al, but unlike Al, Brancais was hit by a demon god head-on, and even his aura was shattered. If it weren't for the life-saving treasure, he might have died because he was too seriously injured.
Just the morning after Al was sent to the "ward", Branques completely absorbed the power of the treasure and woke up from his coma. Perhaps because they were attacked by the demon god, the relationship quickly heated up after chatting with each other for a few words. Branques even gave Al some tips on some of the tricks to understand the rules.
Of course, what is more important is Al's identity as a senior executive of Silent City.
You should know that Brancais is an apprentice of the elf king Seluya, and Seluya is also Sawy's elder, so Brancais and Sawy's can actually be regarded as being of the same generation, and Silent City was "founded by Sawy's own hands". Al is a senior executive of Silent City and Sawy's apprentice, so in terms of counting, Al is actually very close to Brancais.
It is because of these twists and turns that Brancas takes great care of Al, otherwise, how could he, a peak legendary powerhouse, take care of Al, a guy who is not even a half-step legend?
But speaking of this, Brancaise actually met Al, but at the time Al was just a little guy, so Brancaise didn't take it seriously. If Al hadn't personally admitted to meeting him later, Brancaise would have thought that this was their first time meeting.
Today, it was the first time that the two of them walked out of the ward after being injured. What is the reason...
"...and it is thanks to Lord Brancais and the strong help from His Excellency Al that Xueman City can successfully overcome these two crises, not only thwarting the cultist's conspiracy, but also expelling a demonic weapon back to the realm of annihilation!"
On the front desk of the hall, Balgoff was holding his glass high and giving a passionate speech. He said excitedly, and raised his glass to signal to Branques and Al. Al raised his glass to respond, and drank all the wine in the glass with depression on his face.
"I shouldn't have attended such a banquet!"
Brancas said in a muffled voice. Although he is a peak legendary powerhouse, he is not very good at socializing. In his opinion, instead of attending such a banquet, it is better to spend this period of time to practice and restore his broken aura as soon as possible.
El on the other hand was also very depressed. Although he was a senior executive of Silent City, he had never attended such high-end banquets. You should know that the group of senior executives in Silent City, except for Filina and Bingxuan, are all rough men. When they get together, they rarely hold banquets, and they go directly to the tavern and drink.
More importantly, Al now represents Silent City. If he doesn't pay attention to what he says wrongly, then the loss will be the interests of the entire Silent City!
So, during this banquet that lasted for three hours, Al and Brancaise sat in the corner for three hours of silence. Fortunately, Brancaise had a great face and no one came to disturb them during this period.
Compared with the depression of Al and Branques, Balgoff smiled happily. At this banquet, he invited all the contact personnel who stayed in Xueman City. In a few days, the story of Xueman City's "expressing the Demon Artifact" will spread throughout the nine territories and then to other provinces. This will bring huge rewards to Xueman City in both fame and interests.
After the banquet, Balgoff was sitting on the throne, thinking about how much profit this banquet would bring to Xueman, but he heard footsteps. As soon as he looked up, he saw Al coming to the front with five shadow blades.
"Al, you are..."
"Lord, I'm here to say goodbye." Al bowed slightly, then smiled bitterly: "I just received the news that something was going on in Silent City, and I need to rush back immediately."
"The mess?" Balgoff frowned: "Is it serious? Do you need any help?"
"It's just an ordinary little mess, but it involves me and some other people, so I have to rush back and take charge of the overall situation."
Al shook his head, but the depression on his face remained undiminished.
Although Balgoff was puzzled, since Al had said that, he couldn't ask more questions. After a few polite words, he personally sent Al out of Longxiao Palace.
In fact, what really made Al depressed was not all the bad news from Silent City, but more of it was Lina who stayed in Snowman City.
After receiving the news from Lina, Al rushed over overnight. He originally planned to solve Auston, so he went to Lina to have a good talk to see if he could determine the relationship between the two. Who would have thought that he was seriously injured by Mefara's blow from the air.
Later, when he was recovering from his injuries, although Lina had visited him several times, every time he talked about the key points, Lina would always leave on the excuse, which made Al very depressed. She wanted to spend more time with Lina after recovering from the injury, but she didn't expect bad news to come from Silent City.
Walking out of the gate of Longxiao Palace, Al let out a long breath and looked at a shadow blade beside him with a serious face: "Is the news confirmed? Is it really him?"
"Can be sure," said the Shadow Blade solemnly: "Based on the method of committing the crime and the description of the murderer by witnesses, it is the same person."
"The same person..."
Al stopped, looked up at the sky, and didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he sighed: "It's a big deal! Auston's problem has not been completely solved yet. In the Silent City, this guy jumped out again, and there were cultists outside making trouble everywhere..."
El became more and more angry as he spoke. He kneaded all the information in his hand into a ball and threw it on the ground, cursing: "There is also the damn Sawyer! That guy hasn't come back yet! I'm going to resign!"
