"What are you doing?" Just as Donsk was giving an impassioned speech, he found himself incredibly excited, looking at the dense crowd, and the location was none other than the grand square of the famous Mage Union. The influence of speaking here was simply enormous. Just as Donsk was getting excited, a deep voice came from the air.
"Sir Steward! We are students from the Unrivaled Academy. Yesterday, our fellow student, Mo Fei... We are here to seek justice for Mo Fei and to ensure our future safety." Donsk, upon seeing that it was just a steward of the Mage Union, felt a sense of relief and loudly said.
"Nonsense! Disperse quickly!" This steward was responsible for today's square duty. Hearing Donsk's words, he couldn't help but shout in a low voice.
Donsk originally wanted to use this opportunity to connect with Doctor, so he couldn't give up. He gritted his teeth and retorted, "Sir Steward, are you protecting criminals, or are you involved in this as well?"
"You...! Someone, get these troublemakers..." The steward was so angry that his nose was twisted. This was the place with the highest foot traffic in the entire Magic City, and he was actually being questioned by this guy.
"Hmph! What a show of power! It seems that the so-called free city of Magic City is just a facade." Someone nearby interrupted the steward, sneering.
The steward on duty didn't dare to speak anymore because this was a significant matter. Magic City was known as the city of freedom because the people here believed in freedom, and the citizens of Magic City were equal. This equality referred to the law, not because of anything else. There were too many noble families and powerful clans here. If special privileges were implemented, Magic City would have been in chaos long ago.
"Sir Steward, I am also thinking about our future safety. Think about it, if they dare to send Mo Fei to the auction house, then perhaps tomorrow, other students here might also be sold. I, as a student, am well aware of the regulations regarding Unrivaled Academy students in Magic City. They are ignoring our principal and tarnishing his reputation, as well as the reputation of the entire union. As a part of the academy, we must stand up and expose these people who are tarnishing our reputation." Donsk threw a series of accusations. The steward on duty didn't dare to speak anymore, as it involved the Unrivaled Academy's president and the reputation of the entire union.
At this moment, a group of mages wearing black armor and black cloaks appeared on the square. Many people immediately made way for them. These were the famous enforcers of the Mage Union.
"By...!" The leader of the enforcers had a golden flame on his chest. He waved his hand, and dozens of enforcers formed a semicircle around the students from the Unrivaled Academy, drawing their weapons.
"Bang! Who called you here?" At this moment, a figure dropped from the sky and kicked the captain of the enforcers several hundred meters away with a powerful kick.
"You are enforcers, dealing with dangerous criminals. Who are they? They are students from the Unrivaled Academy. Who gave you the right? Get lost!" Cook's eyes lit up. The person who just appeared was the one who had given him a gift at Doctor's house.
"Say whatever you need to say. The elder has already given orders to ensure your safety." The servant of Doctor, who was also a steward, ignored the captain of the enforcers, who had a green face, and turned to ask with a smile.
"Sir Steward, we just want to reflect the actual situation. Students, let's sit here and wait until Mo Fei is rescued." Donsk respectfully replied and then turned to the students.
"Great!" The students were excited because staying here for a day would earn them ten points, and this incident had already caught the attention of the union's elders. Moreover, the impact of this incident was significant, and no one could guarantee that such a thing wouldn't happen to them.
"What are you doing...?" The servant of Doctor was also a steward, a first-class steward, and an elder's servant. Even so, when he saw the students taking out backpacks from the carriages, laying down carpets, and even setting up single-person tents, his mouth twitched. What did these guys think this square was?
"Sir Steward, we will wait here." Donsk finished speaking and joined the student group. Cook was also amazed. This move was too powerful, a direct slap in the face. The square of the Mage Union was a place comparable to the Statue of Liberty in America, and it was also a transportation hub. The people coming and going were either wealthy, powerful, or highly skilled, and they came from all over. Even if it didn't cause traffic congestion, the impact was significant.
"Protest! Protest!" At this moment, another group of people appeared. They were all kinds of people, but without exception, their relatives had either gone missing or died innocently in Magic City. This was also Donsk's doing.
"Punish the murderers!"
"Expose the masterminds!"
"Return my brother!"
These people also held banners, each one describing a specific incident. The number of people in Magic City, the number of people entering and leaving daily, and the number of cases that occurred were unknown, but when Donsk saw that this group had nearly ten thousand people, he couldn't help but be nervous.
In fact, these people were all related, and there were also those who were standing up for justice, watching the spectacle, or plotting something. In any case, the numbers were significant.
"What are you doing, daring to make such a loud noise here!" The captain of the enforcers immediately waved his hand and blocked the path of this group of protesters, shouting.
"Richard, you little brat, you don't recognize your grandpa? When you were young, you borrowed money from me to learn martial skills. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful today. Do you know how my grandson died? If you have the guts, kill me, kill me." At this moment, an old man who could be blown away by the wind pushed his way to the front and shouted at the captain of the enforcers.
"Grandpa, Little Kri was killed during a robbery, and the case has already been solved!" The captain of the enforcers secretly cursed but didn't dare to react, explaining in a low voice.
"I don't believe it. My grandson was only ten years old. What could he have that was worth robbing? Move! If you don't move, I'll beat you!" The old man shook his head and shouted, raising his cane.
Donsk saw an opportunity and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, look, look at the security in Magic City. Look at the names on these banners. Each name represents a life. Grandpa, Grandpa, you're right. A ten-year-old child couldn't have anything worth robbing. I know that some evil black magic requires the souls and blood of children. Do you know if your grandson bled?"
"Really? He bled!" The old man also glared and replied.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, Little Kri was killed to prevent him from revealing the direction of the robber's escape." The captain of the enforcers shivered and quickly said, as black magic was a taboo topic on the continent.
"Nonsense! Is the crime of robbery more serious than murder? It must be black magic, it's definitely black magic! Oh, we should move away quickly!" The old man shouted loudly.
"Uh..." Donsk originally wanted to make a big fuss. He didn't know how to respond to the captain of the enforcers, but he didn't expect the old man to find a reason on his own.
"Uh!" The captain of the enforcers was speechless and could only stand aside obediently.
The servant of Doctor, who was also a first-class steward, saw this scene and drew a deep breath. However, he then became excited because the bigger the fuss, the more beneficial it was for his master. The first-class steward looked at the tall main building of the Mage Union, where a meeting was taking place. Not only were the thirteen elders present, but the president of the Unrivaled Academy was also there.
In fact, not just the president of the Unrivaled Academy, this incident had already alarmed three presidents, all of whom were on the same level as the old man of the Unrivaled Academy. Of course, the old man of the Unrivaled Academy was the most powerful. In the round meeting hall, the three presidents sat at the head of the table, five permanent councilors sat opposite, and four councilors sat on each side, making a total of thirteen councilors, or elders.
Among the three presidents, the old man of the Unrivaled Academy looked elderly, another was a thin young man who seemed to emit a cold aura, and the last was a girl around seventeen or eighteen years old, but her expression didn't match that of a young girl.
In the meeting hall, Doctor was angrily saying, "I didn't expect that the so-called free city of Magic City would have such a phenomenon. Mercenary groups, constables, union stewards, slave traders, and even some elders have formed a huge chain of interests. They not only kidnap people in Magic City but also organize people to target dwarves, gnomes, orcs, and elves! Gentlemen, and this time, these people have gone mad and targeted the Unrivaled Academy. Everyone here must know what the academy is. To put it bluntly, most of us come from the academy."
"Doctor, is this true?" The old man of the Unrivaled Academy asked in a deep voice.
"President! Most of it has been verified. After receiving the news last night, I went there myself and successfully rescued Mo Fei, a third-year student in the Hunter Department of the Unrivaled Academy. I have also traced the criminals and captured most of them. Here are their confessions." Doctor hadn't slept all night and had prepared to present a major bombshell today.
The three presidents' faces grew darker as they read. Finally, the three presidents communicated using mental power, and the old man of the Unrivaled Academy said coldly, "First, detain everyone involved in this matter. As for the mercenary groups and wealthy merchants involved, in short, no matter who is involved, investigate them all."
I have a cold, so I can only write 3,000 words today. I will make up for it tomorrow!
