The carriage stopped for a moment in front of the Magic Guild, and then drove towards the city gate.
"Lord, we sold a total of two hundred gold coins!"
While driving the carriage, Dylan handed the bag of gold coins in his hand to Clemont in the carriage.
"So few?"
After taking the bag, Clemont was a little surprised.
"Well, the magician inside said that those feathers and beaks are of little use, and the magic power they contain is very low. If they are not in good condition, they are not worth two hundred gold coins!"
Hearing this, Clemont nodded. This coincided with his own speculation. Although this Cold Wind Bird King has the magic core of a fifth-level magic beast, its integration with magic power is not high. This magic power is more
As if it was forcefully poured in, the fifth-level cold wind bird king was purely catalyzed.
"It seems that the attack by the Cold Wind Birds was indeed premeditated. If my guess is correct, the Dominic Flight Station will suffer heavy losses this time!"
…
When the carriage arrived at the city gate, the transport team Beavis mentioned had been waiting for a long time.
More than a dozen carts were filled with daily necessities.
"Let's go! Go home!"
Looking at the white land outside the city, Clemont shouted loudly.
Then the long motorcade drove out of Sakr City and was submerged in the snow and wind.
In Santa Cruz, a luxurious castle at the Dominica Flight Terminal, a slightly obese middle-aged man with a mustache was pacing back and forth in his study.
From the hurried steps and frowning brows, it is not difficult to see the annoyance in his heart.
"Lord Viscount, what should we do? Almost all of the eight Aklanis traveling this time were attacked by the cold wind birds. Except for the ones flying to Sakr City and Joyce City, there were no losses.
They all fell! We lost six Arachnes at once!"
In addition to the middle-aged man with a mustache, there were also several stewards with sad expressions standing in the study.
"Nonsense, can I not know? But let's put the losses aside for now. Now you can think about how to deal with the families of the victims."
Hearing Viscount Dominic's words, the stewards became even more distressed.
It would be easier if the victims were all civilians, but among these victims were many knights who had just been demobilized from the front line. These knights had more or less meritorious service, and they did not die on the battlefield, but died on the battlefield.
On the way home.
As the boss of Dominic Flight Station, Viscount Dominic was still confused at this time.
Why did so many accidents happen in less than two days? He was fine before. Although he didn't know what happened, so many noble knights died in vain. The empire would never let him go.
"Lord Viscount, these accidents are by no means accidental! I think someone deliberately harmed our Dominica flight station!"
The tall and thin steward of the Eastern Territory stood up and said.
Hearing this, Viscount Dominic stopped and started thinking.
Although this makes sense, who would frame him? His competitors?
No, Arachne is a unique mode of transportation in the Ananke continent. No one can train a trainer to control Arachne except himself, so naturally there is no competition.
Could it be his enemies? But I don’t have any enemies in my life! Even if there were before, the grass on the grave has grown so tall, can they still crawl out of the cemetery?
Just when Dominic was distressed, the housekeeper hurried in and spoke into Dominic's ear.
Hearing the news, Dominic was overjoyed and said, "Quick, let him in!"
After a while, an Arachne manager strode in, and this person was Moulton who had returned from Sacker City.
"Lord Viscount! Managers!"
After saluting everyone, Moulton looked at Dominic.
"Molton, please tell me the specific situation!"
Since all the people on the other six Aklanis were dead, and the Aklani that flew to Joyce City was seriously injured and would not be able to come back for a while, Morton who returned from Sakr City was
their focus at this time.
"Yes, Lord Viscount, this is what happened..."
As Moulton described it, everyone in the room frowned even deeper.
From Moulton's words, they heard that this matter was unusual.
It wasn't until Moulton finished narrating that the steward of the Western Territory, who was Moulton's immediate boss, asked doubtfully.
"Molton, are you sure there is a fifth-level bird king among the flock of cold wind birds that attacked you?"
Moulton nodded.
"Yes, sir, that Cold Wind Bird King is definitely a fifth-level monster. I have seen its corpse with my own eyes!"
Hearing Moulton's categorical words, the steward of the Eastern Territory asked: "Then how did you kill this fifth-level monster among the cold wind birds?"
"It's strange. I've been doing this for so many years, and this is the first time I've heard of the fifth-level Cold Wind Bird King. How could such a creature be promoted to the fifth level?" The steward from the North also asked.
Seeing the different expressions on the faces of several stewards, Moulton smiled bitterly. This question was also something he was confused about at the time.
"This is something I want to report too!" Moulton straightened his expression.
"One of the passengers on Arachne No. 08 this time was Baron Clement. He single-handedly saved all of us. He also killed the fifth-level Cold Wind Bird King all by himself.
So in order to repay him, I made my own decision and gave him the Aklani badge, and also gave him a reward of 20,000 gold coins..."
Having said this, Moulton glanced at Viscount Dominic's face anxiously, and felt relieved after seeing that he didn't express anything.
"Well, I have also heard the name of Baron Clermont. He is a popular person in front of His Highness Delia, and he is also the heir of the Thacker family. You are right about this, Moulton!"
Dominic raised his eyebrows and praised.
In fact, he is also a member of His Highness Delia, but he was able to get into His Highness Delia's eyes only because of Aklani's ability to make money.
And his title was bought with money, and aside from being able to legitimately build a luxurious castle, it has no use.
Hearing the Lord Viscount's praise, Moulton rolled his eyes and then said humbly:
"Thank you, Lord Viscount, for the compliment. I am not doing this entirely out of gratitude, but because I want to get some information from Baron Clermont. After all, he was the one who killed the Cold Wind Bird King, and apart from the information about the Cold Wind Bird King
In addition, I also secured a great opportunity for our Dominica Flight Station this time!"
"Oh? What chance? By the way, what secret does the Cold Wind Bird King have?"
Dominic stared in anticipation of what was to follow, and several of his stewards craned their necks.
"Let's talk about the Cold Wind Bird King first!" Moulton smiled. "According to Baron Clemont, this Cold Wind Bird King is not like a naturally promoted fifth-level monster, but a catalyzed one, and the birds are
The same goes for the other third- and fourth-level magical beasts, the Cold Wind Bird!"
After listening to Moulton's words, everyone looked at each other.
Which force has nothing to do and spends such a high price to catalyze such a worthless monster? Is it just to destroy the Dominic Flying Station?
"Okay, I will report this matter to the superiors, you go on!"
