Chapter 79

Compared with the turbulent outside world, the library in Mage Guild was extraordinarily quiet, with only the sound of turning over books.

“Mr. Chief, something is wrong!”

At the same time, an anxious voice passed through the door of the library and reached the ears of Locke and others.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A few seconds later, Ellie ran in, out of breath.

“What happened?”

Rowell closed the magic book in his hand and asked in a low voice.

Although Ellie was young, she was very steady. Even she lost her composure, perhaps something really happened.

“According to the information from our spy, the Tiger Mercenary Team is gathering members. They are heading for Mage Guild now!”

Ellie looked anxious. She couldn’t help but look at Locke from the corner of her eyes. She was worried about the man who killed Hulett, but at the same time, she admired him.

Rowell narrowed his eyes and snorted, “How dare Matilda attack Mage Guild? Is he courting death?”

“We and Tiger Mercenary Team never interfere with each other. They have no reason to attack us.”

There was a trace of doubt on Hochia’s face. Although the relationship between Mage Guild and Tiger Mercenary Team was not good, the other party had no reason to attack Mage Guild so openly.

Hochia looked at Ellie as if asking. He could tell that Ellie had something else to say.

“Because…”

Instead of explaining, Ellie looked at Locke. Obviously, the Tiger Mercenary Team attacked them because of Locke.

Rowell and Hochia were stunned for a moment and then looked at Locke in confusion.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Locke closed the magic book. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, “Maybe it has something to do with me.”

Locke knew that it must be the force behind Hulett who came to make trouble. After all, since Hulett dared to be so domineering in Dikas City, he must have some support behind him.

“When we entered the city this afternoon, we met a playboy and taught him a lesson.” Locke shrugged and explained indifferently.

Teaching him a lesson?

Did Locke meet Hulett? But even if Locke had taught Hulett a lesson, the Tiger Mercenary Team shouldn’t have found fault with them in such a big way.

Hearing Locke’s explanation, Rowell and Hochia were even more confused. They were disgusted with Hulett who was dominating and had negotiated with Matilda about this.

Looking at the confused expressions on Rowell and Hochia’s faces, Ellie added in a low voice, “Hulett was kicked to death by Mr. Capet’s horse.”

Hulett was dead?

Rowell and Hochia took a deep breath. Well, they finally understood why the Tiger Mercenary Team came to them.

Seeing Locke was so casual, the two of them suddenly felt a little strange. The enemy had come aggressively, but he still was indifferent.

“Ellie, inform the guild to get ready to fight,”

“The Tiger Mercenary Team is quite powerful. I’m afraid that they will not let go of what happened today easily.”

After giving the order to Ellie, Rowell looked a little serious. He turned to Locke and said, “Locke, we will stop Matilda later. You two leave from the secret passage.”

“Mr. Bowen, thank you for your help.”

After saying that, Locke shook his head and said with a smile, “I’d like to see how powerful the Tiger Mercenary Team is.”

“Locke, it’s not the time to act on impulse.”

Hochia tried to persuade him. It was Hulett who died this time. Who knew what Matilda would do?

“Do you think I will stay in Dikas City openly without any backup?”

Looking at the two, Locke asked with a smile.

Seeing Locke’s confident smile, the two of them were stunned. Yes, although geniuses were more conceited, they were not brainless. Maybe Locke had some powerful means.

When Locke and the others came out of the library, all the people in the hall of Mage Guild had been withdrawn.

At the same time, Sam and others had arrived.

“My lord.”

Sam and his team members bowed to Locke and Athena. To Locke’s surprise, Pierce also came.

However, Pierce remained silent as usual, leaning against the wall and drinking alone. However, Anne greeted Athena warmly.

A sound of horse’s hooves came, and in just a moment, the Tiger Mercenary Team had surrounded Mage Guild heavily.

The members of the Mage Guild didn’t show any weakness and confronted the members of the Tiger Mercenary Team.

With the magic wand in his hand, Matilda rode a tall black horse and looked down at Locke and the others.

Brave Mercenary Team? Seeing Sam and others in the front, Matilda looked at them with disdain. In Dikas City, the Brave Mercenary Team was a relatively old team, so many people knew it.

Although everyone knew it was dangerous here, there were still some people who couldn’t resist their curiosity. They didn’t leave, because they wanted to see this impending battle.

And now everyone knew who Locke was.

“Tut, tut, the young level-2 mage, I guess there must be some big forces supporting him.”

“It doesn’t matter even if he has a powerful background. Matilda is sinister, vicious, and a ruthless person. He doesn’t care whether the other party has a strong background or not.”

“Alas, I’m afraid that even Mage Guild won’t work this time.”

The people in the distance whispered their own opinions.

On the other side.

“You are Locke Capet.”

Matilda’s gaze swept across Rowell and Hochia, and locked on Locke.

Looking at Locke, his eyes were full of killing intent. If Mage Guild hadn’t been there, he would have rushed over and torn the murderer who killed his son to pieces.

Seeing that Locke didn’t deny, he sneered with a gloomy face, “Do you think you will be safe after coming to Mage Guild? Let me tell you, whoever comes today must die!”

Faced with Matilda’s threat, Locke smiled as usual and said, “It’s a coincidence that people often threaten me like this, but they all seem to have died.”

Hearing Locke’s provocative words, Matilda’s face became gloomier. He stared at Locke, wishing to cut Locke into pieces. If his gaze could kill people, Locke might have died thousands of times.

Suppressing his anger, Matilda looked at Rowell beside Locke and asked, “Rowell, are you going to cover up the murderer of my son?”

Rowell shook his head and corrected, “Mr. Capet is a member of our Mage Guild. The matter of Mr. Capet is naturally the matter of our Mage Guild.”

“So, Matilda, I advise you to leave right now. You can’t afford the anger of Mage Guild.”

“Ha-ha!”

Matilda burst into laughter. He stopped laughing all of a sudden. His face twisted and said fiercely, “Not to mention that you are only a branch of the Mage Guild, so what if you are the Mage Guild in the county town. Since your Mage Guild is unwilling to get out of the way, don’t blame me!”

“Prepare to attack!”

Matilda ordered directly, his eyes filled with madness.

The people of the Mage Guild didn’t dare to fall behind. They began to mobilize magic power in their bodies, which was surging in front of them and caused the fluctuation of the magic energy.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out!

Just then, a plain voice sounded.

“Let me do it.”
