Chapter 20: The City Guards Seek Revenge!

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Rand Town.
In the York family, Brutus lay on his bed, his lower body empty.
A priest was casting light magic to heal Brutus’ injuries.
After a long time, the priest said, “Mr. Errol, your son is out of danger, but his legs may have been lost forever.”
Limb regeneration.
In this world, it was a very difficult thing. Only an extraordinary high mage could use a forbidden spell of light magic to regrow a lost limb.
But was an extraordinary high mage something that the York family could come into contact with?
In other words, Brutus’ lost legs could no longer be regrown.
This made Errol, who was at the side, look angry.
Not only was Brutus his son, but he was also his only son.
Although his talent in cultivation was not that great, Errol doted on him very much. Otherwise, he would not have developed such an arrogant character like Brutus.
“The Hodtrotz Magic Academy… I must avenge my son.”
Hatred had made Errol lose his mind.
Although the York family was the most powerful force in this Rand Town, Hodtrotz Magic Academy was not under their jurisdiction.
Generally speaking, the academy was directly under the command of the Imperial City, which was very special.
The local units in the town could not directly order the academy.
Otherwise, Errol would just ask Hodtrotz Magic Academy to hand over Lin An and Susanna.
However, even if that wasn’t possible, Errol still gave the order and prepared to go to the Hodtrotz Magic Academy to get them.
…
The sun rose.
The Hodtrotz Magic Academy was closed for the day, but there were still quite a number of students entering and leaving the academy. It was a peaceful scene.
However, at this moment, on a nearby street, city guards walked towards the Hodtrotz Magic Academy.
The one leading them was Errol.
Behind him were about fifty city guards, all of whom were relatively powerful existences among the city guards.
The weakest among them was a beginner swordsman, and there were even several high-level swordsmen among them.
If that was all, it would not be much. However, these city guards were all wearing the magic equipment distributed by the kingdom.
If they were to really fight, even a few sorcerers working together wouldn’t be able to deal with them.
Not to mention that Errol was a great swordsman, an existence comparable to sorcerers.
“What happened? Why did the city guards come to this place?”
“Nothing happened here either…”
“Look, the city guards are carrying a stretcher. There is a person on it.”
“Have you heard? Yesterday, the son of the city guards’ captain, Brutus, had his legs burned off. I heard that it was done by someone from our academy.”
“Serves him right. That Brutus is usually too arrogant. He bullies the commoners every day. This is karma.”
…
The arrival of the city guards made many students from the Hodtrotz Magic Academy very surprised.
But there were also many people who heard about what happened last night and knew that the city guards were here to seek revenge.
This made many students a little angry.
After all, Brutus was a bully in everyone’s eyes. After suffering such a heavy blow, he still had the face to come to the magic academy to seek revenge.
But they did not dare to go forward and argue. Instead, they stood in the distance and discussed.
At this time, just as the city guards were about to enter the magic academy, an old man wearing a sorcerer’s robe blocked their way.
“Errol, this is an important place of the academy. The city guards can not enter,” the old man said straightforwardly.
Errol did not force his way in. Instead, he said angrily to the old man, “Xavier, your academy must give me an explanation today.”
“Explanation? Did something happen?”
Xavier was a little puzzled.
Errol said directly, “Last night, the students of your academy committed a murder. They killed my son’s mount and even destroyed my son’s legs.”
“That’s impossible.”
Xavier did not believe what Errol said.
Xavier had heard of Brutus’ actions in Rand Town, and he also knew that Brutus’ mount was a 3rd rank magic beast, the Fiery Horse.
However, there were not many magic sorcerer apprentices who had the ability to kill the Fiery Horse in the Hodtrotz Magic Academy.
Moreover, with the strength of a rank-3 magic beast, it would choose to run away when faced with danger.
There was no one among the students who could kill a rank-3 magic beast that was running away.
“Hmph, I knew you would say that. However, many people have seen what happened last night. You can ask around. If you don’t hand over the murderer today, I will break into the academy and find the murderer!” Errol said angrily.
Then, he took out two portraits that had been drawn long ago. On them were the portraits of Lin An and Susanna.
When he saw Lin An’s portrait, Xavier’s expression was a little surprised.
Everyone in the academy had long known about Lin An’s existence.
A genius with supreme-level elemental affinity.
Not to mention whether Lin An did it or not, if it was Lin An who did it, the academy would protect Lin An.
After all, a genius was much more useful than that trash, Brutus.
“Errol, if you want to forcefully break into the academy, don’t blame me for making a move.”
Magic energy rippled from Xavier’s body, and the aura of a magic shooter was revealed.
“Hmph, the Hodtrotz Magic Academy is protecting the murderer. Today, the city guards will definitely bring the murderer to justice.”
“City guards, listen up. Enter the academy and capture the murderer!”
Following Errol’s command, the city guards behind him all drew their longswords.
“Boom!”
At the same time, green light blossomed around Xavier. A tornado appeared out of thin air and swept towards the city guards.
Third-tier wind magic.
Tornado!
Instantly, some of the city guards, who were only beginner-level swordsman apprentices, were swept into the air by the tornado and then thrown out.
This was because Xavier had not used his full strength. Otherwise, the tornado would have been able to tear these weak city guards into pieces.
At this moment, Errol pulled out his long sword and slashed down.
Under the blessing of magic energy, a sword aura appeared and directly cut the tornado in half.
“Today, if the Hodtrotz Magic Academy doesn’t hand over the murderer, our city guards will not give up.”
