Many guards were lying on the ground, sprawled on their backs. Their bodies were constantly spewing out pure magical energy. It was mainly because the guards had eaten too much at one go and could not digest it.
If they did not release some of it, it was very likely that their bodies would explode.
Liszt and Evelyn had also benefited greatly. They could clearly feel that after eating the magical beast meat, another wave of pure energy was improving their temperament.
“The magical beast meat given to the guards, could it be Tier 4 magical beast meat?”
In the main hall of the mansion, Nellie thought in shock.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The strength of all the guards in the city Lord’s mansion had risen by a large margin. How could they not be shocked?
“Aiya, old professor, don’t stop.. Continue to break the formation.” Looking at the shocked Manticore, Laylen timely reminded.
“I’m so angry!”
Manticore roared angrily, raised its breath, and continued to bombard the alchemy stone with all its might. So what if this brat had countless alchemy stones? He also wanted to make this little brat bleed a little.
After all, every alchemy stone was very expensive.
He didn’t believe that this brat didn’t feel bad?
If he didn’t feel bad, then he must be faking it.
In truth, what Manticore did not know was that to Li Lin, Tier 4 alchemy stones were truly worthless.
As the Lord of the Holy Land, fourth Master Sophia had a total of ten god-tier formation masters under her command. For a piece of junk like Tier 4 alchemy stones, she could produce tens of thousands of them in a day even with her eyes closed.
Soon, morning arrived.
Within the barrier, Manticore’s eyes were bloodshot.
As for the Grand Knight Father and son, they had pitifully stayed in the tower outside the castellan’s mansion to enjoy the cold wind for the whole night.
Manticore was still trapped in the magical formation, so how could they go back to sleep peacefully?
At eight o’clock in the morning, the sun rose as usual.
“Enough, it’s too much of a waste.”
A powerful voice sounded, which was so penetrative that everyone near the mayor’s mansion could hear it.
Mayor Nelly walked out from the main hall of the mansion. His face looked good and rosy.
Nelly’s strength had almost recovered. He could not help but watch Laylen squander like this and quickly walked out.
Nelly’s appearance instantly caused exclamations.
It was mainly because Nelly had disappeared for too long that the people in the city could not help but make various guesses. Some said that Nelly Vader was already dead, and some said that he was still alive.
However, all these were just guesses. The people outside the mansion had no way of knowing what was going on in the mansion.
Now that Nelly had walked out, and his face was ruddy, he did not show any signs of being injured or poisoned.
The Manticore’s gaze was stern as it stared at Nelly.
As for Grand Knight Creed, his face was pale, and his eyes were wide open with fear.
After all, he had already betrayed the mayor, betrayed Vader City, and now that he saw the mayor appear. His legs naturally could not help but tremble.
Then, he secretly glanced at Manticore, and the nervousness in his heart dissipated a lot.
Nelly glanced at Creed, who was above him, and then shifted his gaze to the Manticore in the formation. He smiled and said, “Professor Manticore has come from afar. May I know what is the matter?”
“Aren’t you going to quickly remove the magical formation?” Then, Nelly glared at Laylen.
Laylen pursed his lips, but he still listened to his father and turned off the magical formation with his token.
Manticore walked out of the barrier and cursed in his heart. Nelly Vader was clearly not dead, but he did not come out. If he was trapped in the barrier for a day and a night, he must be hiding somewhere to watch the joke.
Manticore landed on the ground, looked at Nelly, and said coldly, “I came this time mainly to convey the king’s will.”
Seeing that Nelly was still alive, Manticore knew that the idea of directly taking down the mayor’s mansion and making ke lie the city lord would not work. Fortunately, he had a second plan. Before coming to Vader City, he made a trip to Borodin Royal City.
He was good friends with the Duke of North Town. To remove the city lord of a border city was as easy as eating and sleeping.
The Duke of northern town had the strength of the intermediate stage of the fifth rank extraordinary realm. He was one of the four great dukes under King Borodin.
He guarded the northern part of Borodin Kingdom.
He was the right-hand man of the King and had won the new position of the king.
As long as the Duke of Northern Town spoke, the King would issue a royal order.
There were more than a dozen extraordinary realm experts in the entire duchy who was at the peak of the extraordinary realm like the king of Borodin. However, only the four dukes were worthy of his attention.
He agreed to the Duke of North Town’s sword intent without even thinking about it.
Neary raised his eyebrows when he heard Manticore’s words.
If Manticore had obtained the King’s Wang Ling and the King had asked to remove him from the position of city lord, he really had no way to refute it.
As Manticore spoke, he took out a golden silk cloth that glowed with golden light.
This golden silk cloth was the will of the King.
The will of the King automatically floated in the air and emitted a dazzling golden light. Vaguely, this golden light converged into a human figure.
This human figure exuded a holy and inviolable light.
His will descended on Vader City and spread in all directions.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
“It’s His Majesty’s aura!”
Everyone could feel this extraordinary will, and they all knelt down in reverence from the bottom of their hearts.
This included Nelly and Manticore.
But these two were at Tier four. So they only needed to kneel on one knee.
“This is the will of the King?”
A rather abrupt sentence rang out in the mayor’s mansion. Everyone was kneeling on the ground except Laylen, who was still standing alone.
With a look of surprise on his face, Laylen walked over and took the will, who was floating in the air, in his hand.
“What are you doing?!”A furious expression appeared on Manticore’s face.
This was the will written by His Majesty the King, and Laylen’s actions were simply treasonous.
He was violating the King.
“What’s the rush? I don’t want to keep this damn thing… but it’s quite soft to the touch, and it’s suitable to be used as a hand-wiping rag.”
Laylen curled his lips and then threw the will to Manticore.
When he said this, the whole place fell silent.
Manticore couldn’t believe his ears. What had he just heard?
A guy who was only at Tier three actually said that he wanted to use the will of the King, written by His Majesty the King, as a hand-wiping rag?
Not to mention Manticore, even Nelly was in a daze.
Was this bastard’s son trying to ascend to heaven? That was the the will written by His Majesty the King in the heart of the Imperial City.
Any citizen of the Kingdom who saw the will had to kneel.
Unless that person was also an expert at the extraordinary tier.
And now, it was one thing for Laylen to see that the will wasn’t expensive, but to think that he would actually say such a deranged thing.
When Liszt and Evelyn heard Laylen’s words, they almost couldn’t catch their breath and almost choked to death on the spot.
My Lord Young Mayor, oh no, you’ve really gotten yourself into big trouble this time.
As for the Grand Knight Father and son, they almost wanted to jump up and celebrate on the spot.
This Li Lin was too arrogant, wasn’t he? He actually dared to insult the king in this way. They could imagine how big a storm this matter would cause once it spread to the imperial city.
The Vader father and son would definitely die.
Moreover, even all the imperial guards in the mayor’s mansion would be buried with them.
The might of the king couldn’t be insulted!
“Who’s being impudent?!”
The wil that Li Lin had thrown out didn’t fly back into Manticore’s hand. Instead, it seemed to have its own consciousness as it condensed into the King’s shadow.
That shadow turned around and stared at Laylen with a pair of terrifying eyes.
The will had been written by the king, and there was a consciousness on it that could sense Laylen’s disrespectful words.
“I already said that your cloth is suitable to be used as a rag,” Laylen said indifferently.
“You’re courting death.”
The King’s shadow said in a cold voice as it spread out a beam of golden light and flew toward Laylen, giving off a heart-palpitating aura.
Even if the king only had a tiny strand of his will, he could still launch a spiritual attack, and killing a Tier 3 existence was a piece of cake to him.
On the side, Nelly’s expression changed drastically, and he wanted to pull Laylen over so that he could block this spiritual attack for him.
“You’re just a mere Tier 4 expert. Why don’t you stay in your own small territory and be someone who doesn’t know anything?”
Laylen said indifferently. Then, he took out the black dagger and injected magic power into it.
The dagger emitted a dark light and slashed forward, splitting the spiritual attack and the King’s shadow into two.
