The restaurant suddenly fell silent. Listening to Goodinia and Devo's accusations and complaints outside, anger began to build on everyone's faces. This was probably what they call the villain accusing the victim first, right?
"These two bastards, even at this point they still want to twist the truth. Do they think the Gray Temple is a pushover?" Brandley said angrily, and walked towards the door first.
Bazel and the others followed with grim faces. In broad daylight, a level three swordsman and a level three mage had actually attacked a shop in Aden Square. This was a complete disregard for the authority of the Gray Temple and a blatant disregard for their patrol division.
"Boss Mai, this... really was made by Amy?" Crassus didn't rush out, but looked at Mai Ge and asked softly.
"If you're talking about fireballs, then it was indeed Amy who made them. Exploding fireballs, didn't you teach her that?" Mai Ge looked at Crassus with some surprise. Amy had gone to class all day yesterday, and this morning when she was dealing with that copper-skinned wild boar, her fireball spell exploded. Mai Ge had assumed Crassus had taught her that yesterday.
"I only briefly explained the principles of Fireball to her yesterday, and I was planning to teach her today. Could it be that she learned it on her own?" Crassus's eyes widened, surprised but even more delighted.
"My disciple's talent goes without saying, but what's so surprising about a mere Fireball spell? Wait until she summons an giant frost dragon in a few days, then you'll be astonished." Yulian curled his lip, turned and walked towards the door, his eyes also revealing undisguised joy. He muttered to himself, "Little Amy's talent for fire magic is extraordinary, but I wonder how she'll fare in learning my ice magic?"
"Heh, ice and fire don't mix. I think Amy will soon give up learning ice magic. Melee fire mage is the strongest." Crassus retorted, then went out the door.
"System, customize a door, but don't install it yet, do it later." Mai Ge thought to himself, calmly walking out the door. Things were progressing more smoothly than he had expected.
"Ding! 20 gold coins deducted successfully, restaurant door customization in progress..." The system's voice rang out, unusually without any delays.
"Boss Mai...so amazing." Yabemia looked at Mai Ge's back with admiration on her face. What she thought would turn into a terrible situation was easily resolved by Mai Ge with just a few words. The restaurant was fine, but the people outside were in big trouble.
"He remained calm and collected, and his thinking was meticulous. He must have thought everything through before he made his move, right?" Sally looked at Mai Ge's retreating figure with admiration.
Although she didn't like killing, but that guy was just too disgusting, and Sally sensed a lot of evil about him, even a hint of the undead, which meant that he was definitely not a good person and had even taken the lives of innocent people.
Sally also saw the mad look that flashed in his eyes when he looked at Amy, which was probably why Mai Ge killed him.
Sally didn't feel any resentment when Mai Ge killed the man. On the way to Chaos City, she also tracked down and wiped out a group of bandits who had slaughtered an elven village, all of whom died by her arrows.
Goodinia and Devo had just been healed and regained consciousness by the mage named Bob. The bleeding from their wounds had stopped and a thin scab had formed. Their mental state had improved slightly. That was all a level three mage could do.
"We just came here to eat, and before we even entered, that brat used magic to severely injure us! You...you have to arrest her!" Goodinia's face was filled with fear. This was the first time he had been so close to death. When the fireball exploded beside his ear, he thought death had already come.
"And that boss, it must have been him who ordered that brat to do this. Gabriel is dead, he's dead! Didn't you Gray Temple say you would protect our safety? Arrest them all and protect me!" Devo's expression was similar, a deep fear gripping his heart. Although he liked to see others dominated by terror, but he knew that it was not a pleasant feeling when he was dominated by it himself.
When wealth and status could no longer provide him with a sense of security, his life could be easily threatened. Looking at Gabriel lying dead in a pool of blood, Devo vowed never to come to this corner of Aden Square again in his life.
The Gray Temple was like a lifeline, something the two desperately tried to grasp, giving them a sense of security. The Gray Temple would never let them be killed.
"The Gray Temple will protect every citizen who abides by the Residents' Law, not thugs who oppress the good. Do you still want to distort the truth?" Brandley walked out the door and said coldly to Goodinia and Devo.
Goodinia and Devo's expressions changed instantly. Although they didn't know what had just happened in the restaurant, but if this matter was characterized in this way, they would probably find it difficult to extricate themselves from the situation.
"Lord Brandley, I am... the owner of Devo Tavern, and a council member of the Aden Square Merchants' Union. We met at a banquet of the union before..." Devo forced a fawning smile, looking at Brandley in an attempt to get closer to him.
"Even if you were the president of the Aden Square Merchants' Union, committing something like this today would still result in severe punishment under the law." Brandley's expression remained unwavering as he looked at Devo with narrowed eyes. "Besides, I've seen plenty of people in this Chaos City."
"Injustice! Injustice, Lord Brandley! We were just guests who came for a meal. We only asked them to knock on the door. We didn't do anything..." Goodinia was already in despair. He had originally wanted the Gray Temple to back them up, but now it seemed that the Gray Temple was on Mai Ge's side.
"My lord, look!" Just then, Bazel suddenly strode over to Gabriel's corpse, bent down and pushed it. The corpse turned over, revealing a black iron cross underneath.
"This is the Black Iron Cross!" The people of the Gray Temple looked at the five centimeters tall iron cross, their expressions changed, and their gazes toward Gabriel's corpse turned into extreme anger and hatred.
"What's this?" Brandley asked, somewhat puzzled.
Mai Ge also looked at the iron cross with curiosity. It seemed to have been cut from black sheet metal, and judging from the expressions of the Gray Temple members, it seemed to have some unusual origin.
"Recently, three brutal murders occurred in Chaos City. Among the victims were two children under the age of ten. The murders and dismemberments were extremely cruel, and a black cross was left at each scene." Bazel bent down and picked up the black cross from the ground, coldly saying, "Exactly the same as this one, a Level 4 incident!"
Devo plopped down on the ground, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave!
