Capítulo 20: Austine Beatrice Who Was Scared Silly
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She realized that her body was completely drenched in cold sweat.
"What a fearsome creature."
After a long while, Austine Beatrice finally came back to her senses. Her entire body was trembling slightly.
"Wait, no. Uzul of the Oguapu Palace is dead. Other than me, only the girl from the rebel army knows the truth!"
Austine Beatrice, who had recovered from her shock, suddenly got an idea and smiled.
"Hehe, it seems that the Oguapu Palace is in really bad circumstances!"
She moved and rushed towards the direction of La Powo Palace.
"If we keep this secret, the Oguapu Palace will definitely think that it was the work of the rebel army, hehehe!"
As one of the most powerful forces on the Blue Planet, it was only natural that the Oguapu Palace was an enemy of the La Powo Palace.
This time, even though it was Behemoth who killed Uzul, no one else saw it.
Even if the girl from the rebel army were to state the truth of the situation...
Being the skeptics that they were, Austine doubted that the Oguapu Palace would believe her.
Instead, the Oguapu Palace might take drastic actions instead.
Thinking of this, the smile on Austin's face became wider, devilishly wide, in fact.
Far away on the west coast, in the Oguapu Palace's shrine.
"What? Uzul's Sacred Statue has shattered?"
Salisbury, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly had a drastic change in his expression.
"How could this be? Didn't I tell him before not to head to the rebel army?"
Beside him, the blonde-haired Michelson also spoke with an ugly expression.
"Lord Salisbury. Not only did Uzul left the Oguapu Palace, he has even taken five Silver Dragon Guards with him."
"What? He actually mobilized five Silver Dragon Guards?"
Sainsbury's expression instantly became extremely ugly.
Dragon City was the closest city to the Oguapu Palace, and the two had always been on good terms.
It was for this reason that they had handed a portion of their Silver Dragon Guards to the Oguapu Palace.
Moreover..,
Since the Silver Dragons were resistant to the elements and they were good at flying, they were considered as rare dragon within Dragon City.
'5 Silver Dragons!'
'How am I going to explain this to the person in charge of Dragon City?'
'Who is it? Who Killed Uzul and the Silver Dragons?'
The furious Sainsbury's expression was as cold as ice.
"Lord Salisbury!"
At this moment, outside the temple, a figure wearing a bishop's robe appeared.
It was a Stage 9 powerhouse who was in charge of delivering messages, Remierk.
"I've already used my ability to investigate the cause of Uzul's death."
Remierk frowned, "He was killed by a powerful water spell."
"Moreover, the location is within the rebel army's territory."
"Rebel army?"
"Damn it!"
Michelson waved his fist angrily.
"Lord Salissbury, let me teach them a lesson!"
"Water magic. It must be the pet beasts brought back by the two elders of the rebel army."
"That's right, my Lord. It's time to let them know that the Oguapu Palace is not to be trifled with."
Remierk was also filled with righteous indignation and advocated to attack.
"Wait!"
Salisbury suddenly raised his hand and said with some doubt.
"Although the strength of the rebel army has increased, it's not to the extent that Uzul doesn't even have a chance to escape, right?"
"This..."
Upon hearing Salisbury's doubt, the faces of both of them changed.
Indeed, the news inside was indeed a bit strange.
"Aside from their Elder's pet beasts, do they have any other water type pets?"
Remierk was puzzled.
"Hold your ground for now."
Salisbury waved his hand. "Remierk, you're in charge of intelligence. You should investigate this matter properly."
"Lord Sainsbury, are we not going to do anything about Uzul's death?"
Michelson could not help but frown.
"If that's the case, the prestige of our Oguapu Palace will definitely be affected."
"Of course not."
Salisbury said faintly, "But we need to confirm the truth. Moreover, the day of the reward distribution is not far away.
"There will be a new round of rankings."
"That takes even more precedence."
"More importantly, have you forgotten..."
A hint of wariness flashed through Sainsbury's eyes. "About that person?"
"That person?"
The two's expressions changed when they heard those words.
Joe, this name had been deeply engraved in their minds ever since the appearance of the Hundred Beasts Board.
Many of his pet beasts were hidden in the rebel army's territory.
"Alright, tell all beast tamers from Oguapu Palace above Stage 8 to come back!"
Salisbury rubbed his forehead. "Hmph, we still haven't been able to determine the authenticity of the news from the La Powo Palace!"
"We'll decide everything after the rewards are distributed."
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Outside the Oguapu Palace, in a place thousands of miles away, Austine Beatrice looked in the direction of the Oguapu Palace with a puzzled expression.
"Strange, Salisbury isn't taking action? It seems that I have indeed underestimated him."
"Hehe, it doesn't matter!"
She chuckled, "The Silver Dragons are a treasure from the Dragon City. If the Dragon Lord were to learn of this, I doubt that he would just let it go."
Not long after Austine Beatrice disappeared, a message flew out from the Snow Mountains of the La Serena Plateau.
It headed straight for the distant Dragon City.
