Chapter 194

When the construction of Lister was in full swing, the atmosphere in a magnificent hall more than five thousand miles away was really depressing.

“They are dead?”

The old man’s eyes were deep and there was a trace of astonishment in his tone. With a closer look, the old man was a little plump. He wore a purple robe with golden patterns on it, which made him look noble.

Both Nicole and Booz were level-6 practitioners. Especially, there were few opponents who could compete with Nicole. With the strength of the two, how could they encounter danger or even die in such a place like the Naton County?

The old man in purple robe in front of him was one of the most powerful people in the Grimm Kingdom, which was Duke Vic.

“Yes.” The black-robed man in front of the old man in the purple robe grinned and said coldly, “Our two companions disappeared in the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. They should have met the girl named Athena.”

Duke Vic was silent. His eyes were sharp. After a while, he said slowly, “I didn’t expect that there would be such a powerful man in that remote place. However, she dared to kill people even though she knew it was a member of the Vic family. She doesn’t take the Vic family seriously.”

After saying that, Duke Vic’s eyes were full of killing intent. “Since you dare to offend the Vic family, you should be prepared to pay the price.”

As he spoke, he looked up at the man in a black robe in the corner and reminded him lightly, “In addition, the people of No. 9 team have begun to investigate the matter of the depraved organization. Ask your people to be cautious recently.”

“It’s none of your business.” The man in the black robe replied coldly. At the same time, there was a hint of mockery in his tone. “The royal family has been keeping an eye on the Vic family. If you expose anything, which will cause great troubles, no one can save you.”

Hearing the words of the man in the black robe, Duke Vic’s eyes darkened, but he ignored the threat in his words and looked back at the book on the chopping board.

Seeing this, the man in the black robe did not stay any longer. He turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared.

At the same time, in a magnificent palace of King City, a middle-aged man in a golden robe was reading the documents in his hands.

The middle-aged man was tall and straight, with a square face and deep eyes, which made him look like the top leader. His sharpness had long been hidden under a long robe.

This man was the current king of the Grimm Kingdom, King Temple.

“Your Majesty.” Mond bowed respectfully with a devout look on his face.

King Temple still stared at the certificate in his hand and gently waved his hand, indicating Mond to stand up.

Putting the signed certificate aside, King Temple picked up another one. While reading the document in his hand, he asked, “Aren’t you responsible for protecting Nona with Dorothy? Why are you back?”

“Your Majesty.” Mond bowed slightly and reported, “Princess Nona ran away.”

King Temple’s hand, which was flipping through the documents, paused for a moment. He raised his head and stared at Mond coldly, “Did Nona run away?”

Under the gaze of King Temple, Mond’s body trembled slightly and lowered again. At the same time, sweat appeared on his forehead. “Dorothy and Karami have been looking for her. I believe there will be news of Princess Nona soon.”

“How do you protect her? I’m very disappointed.” Looking at Mond, King Temple said coldly.

“Princess Nona used Master Jeremy’s teleportation rune. We didn’t realize that at all.” Feeling the killing intent in the tone of King Temple, Mond reported with a bitter face. The invincible Master Jeremy now could be promoted to a powerful level-8 mage. The teleportation rune he made had the effect of blocking the breath.

“If it weren’t for this reason, do you think you still have a chance to speak?” After taking a glance at Mond indifferently, King Temple withdrew his gaze and continued to review the documents in his hands. He said coldly, “Let’s talk about what happened this time first.”

Seeing that King Temple didn’t seem to be going to blame them for their mistakes, Mond breathed a sigh of relief.

“We didn’t find any trace of the two men in black robes reported by Marquis Hyman after we arrived at the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. We also saw a damaged magic array in the depths of the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. According to the situation on the spot, it was a magic array, and the demon had been successfully summoned.”

Mond lowered his head and continued. He talked about everything from the moment they entered the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts, to what happened in the depths of the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts, the change in Naton County, the rebellion of the Brandon family and other families, as well as the matter of Locke and Athena. He finally recounted the process of their encounter with Locke and Athena.

After saying that, Mond bowed and waited.

“I can’t believe there is such a powerful master in the kingdom.” King Temple muttered after digesting all the information. If Dorothy could feel threatened, they should be at least level-7 masters.

Looking at Mond, King Temple said directly, “Tomorrow morning, I need all the information about Locke Capet and Athena. Is there any problem?”

“I promise to complete the task!”

Mond said affirmatively. The reason why he came back half a day late was that he had arranged for his men to investigate the information about Locke. He believed that he would soon get all the information about Locke.

King Temple nodded and waved his hand, indicating Mond to leave first.

Mond bowed again and left slowly.

After Mond left, King Temple put down the things in his hands again and sighed. “Is this the change that can affect Nona’s life that Master Jeremy mentioned before?”

On the second day, Mond came to the royal palace early.

“Your Majesty, this is the information we have collected about Locke and Athena.”

Mond took out a scroll of information from his space ring.

A king’s personal guard came up, took the information from Mond and handed it to King Temple.

King Temple looked through it.

Locke, the son of Count Capet from the Naton County, was able to write at the age of three, and his magic talent was very high. He was known as the most talented genius of Naton County. However, when he was 8, he failed to wake up the magic talent and became a loser laughed at by everyone, but he had never given up the study of magic. A year ago, Count Capet bought off someone and made him get the baron title and Lister.

On the paper, all kinds of things that Locke had experienced were recorded in detail.
