Chapter 1367: Section 1368 Research and Developnt Institute
“Please imdiately stop the fighting, please imdiately stop the fighting…” Despite the cold chanical tone, there was a sense of urgency.
The voice ca from the surveillance Magic Energy Eyes that filled the sky, and the ones being warned were Angel and Winchester, who were embroiled in the whirl of battle.
“If the fighting does not cease imdiately, you will bear the consequences.” Seeing that the two had not ceased their fighting, the Magic Energy Eye’s tone beca increasingly threatening.
Normally, if this were a simple disturbance, the Magic Energy Eyes could enforce the law directly and use stored energy to take the two away, but the ones fighting now were no ordinary people.
Not too long ago, when the Magic Energy Eyes had tried to enforce the law forcibly, Winchester took down dozens of them with a single fla, turning them into scrap tal.
Angel was even more ruthless; he directly summoned three pairs of Hands of Magic and dismantled all the Magic Energy Eyes within fifty ters of him. Although he was sowhat better than Winchester, at least they could be reassembled and used again.
Faced with these two formidable opponents, the Magic Energy Eyes were powerless. They quickly contacted the Enforcent Squad responsible for the area. To avoid any accidents, they even dispatched several area squad leaders.
In no ti, nurous beams of light appeared in the sky above the main city district; all were Enforcent Squad leaders who had reached Official Wizard level or higher, now all flocking to Manshi Magic Material Street.
“Why are you still standing here? The Magic Energy Eyes have already issued a level three warning, haven’t they?” A golden light swept in, and an Official Wizard dressed in a golden robe appeared behind Roke.
Roke was the Enforcent Squad leader responsible for Manshi Magic Material Street, and at the mont, he was floating in the sky, gazing toward the distant battlefield.
“It’s Wizard Galchi.” Roke turned around and said.
Galchi’s expression was serious, “What exactly has happened?”
Roke pointed in the distance, “You might as well take a look for yourself.”
While they spoke, several other district Enforcent Squad leaders arrived. They did not rush over because a level three warning ant that individuals at the Wizard level were involved in the conflict. Any battle involving Official Wizards could be dangerous, so they stopped beside Roke to assess the situation first.
But upon looking, everyone fell silent.
“If I am not mistaken, one is ‘Burning Blood Fla’ Winchester and the other is… that Music Box Sorcerer Angel?”
“Yes,” Roke nodded.
All were silent, as these two were no easy matter to deal with. One was a wizard of the Frostmoon Alliance, while the other was a potential seedling riding the waves of public opinion.
They were well aware that the Frostmoon Alliance was currently seeking Angel. Now, not only had Angel appeared, but he had also clashed with Winchester? What on earth was going on?
“The focus is not why Angel is here, did you not notice that Angel and Winchester are evenly matched?” spoke Wizard Galchi, surprise flickering in his eyes, “At first I thought Angel had advanced to Official Wizard, but upon closer inspection, I realized he’s still an Apprentice!”
Galchi’s words sparked uproar among those present.
“I rember, isn’t he the rising star of the Alchemy Circle?” a wizard said in disbelief. Angel was still under twenty years old, and he had ti to hone his combat skills while also focusing on alchemy?
The most crucial part was that he, still an apprentice, could fight on equal terms with an Official Wizard?
“Winchester is not weak, and he’s likely wary of Lord Illusion Demon, afraid of hurting Angel. Otherwise, with Fire Transmutation, he would definitely have the upper hand,” another wizard said with a hint of envy, “This Angel’s power is only a bit stronger than his peers.”
“A bit stronger?” Roke snorted coldly, “Did you not watch ‘Glowing City Night Talk’? For soone who has the friendship of the Abyssal Dragon and has been marked by the Thief of Ti, having such strength seems normal.”
“Besides, if you were to fight Angel, you might not even win.”
The crowd argued excitedly but none stepped forward.
They knew very well that Sanders was currently in Sky chanical City. With that formidable figure present, it wouldn’t be right for them to intervene on either side.
To either offend the Frostmoon Alliance or to provoke Sanders, so choosing to stand back was the best option.
In the center of the battlefield, Angel also noticed the distant Enforcent Squad. He had initially planned to use the arrival of the Enforcent Squad to make an exit and then see how things would be handled after Sanders arrived. But unexpectedly, not a single squad mber approached.
The stalemate between Angel and Winchester continued, but both understood that if this dragged on, Angel would undoubtedly be the loser since his reserves of magic power were surely less than Winchester’s.
Winchester wasn’t in a hurry either and planned to slowly wear Angel down.
Angel wasn’t rushing either, though. He knew dragging things out would put him at a disadvantage, but he hadn’t used any of his trump cards yet, so he wasn’t worried.
Since Lyon had already left safely, he hadn’t planned to go head-to-head with Winchester. All he was contemplating now was how to exit the situation.
Leaving through a door would certainly be the most convenient, but it would undoubtedly expose one of his trump cards.
Or should he use the Phantom Limb to strike Winchester by surprise and then take the opportunity to leave?
However, before Angel could decide, a new developnt occurred on the field.
“Winchester, are you still planning to ask my ntor to help you improve the Coagulation Potion?” A loud voice rang out.
Winchester instinctively retreated a few steps, and Angel didn’t pursue him, instead directing his gaze to the speaker.
Not far off, a burly man flew up from the ground into midair, followed by a haggard-looking Brufen, both swiftly flying over.
The burly man was none other than the person who had previously stopped Winchester.
Angel was also familiar with him, he was “Mad Bear” Sabo!
After Sabo arrived between the two, he first addressed Winchester in a cold voice, “Lord Muse had a ssage before, if you still want to stay in Sky chanical City, you must not lay a hand on Angel again. Moreover, ntor Midora said that, Winchester, if you want the improved version of the Coagulation Potion, it’s best not to act rashly.”
“Why?” Winchester also hoped for a way out, and Sabo’s arrival was just in ti. However, Winchester didn’t understand why Lord Muse and Lord Midora would stick up for Angel?
“Rule thirteen of Sky Machinery City states that mbers of the research institute must not be attacked within the boundaries of Sky chanical City, or they will be expelled,” Sabo paused, pointing at Angel, “Angel is a mber of the research institute. Is this reason enough?”
Winchester looked at Angel with surprise in his eyes. He knew the status of the research institute even if he was not an alchemist.
Angel was actually a mber of the research institute?
Winchester couldn’t help but turn back to look at Brufen. Brufen was an alchemist; perhaps he knew so insider information?
After pondering for a mont, Brufen still nodded. He had actually only found out recently, and it was Lord Muse who had personally conveyed the ssage to him. It was precisely because of Lord Muse’s words that Brufen’s earlier anger gradually cooled down.
Although Brufen was a mber of the Frostmoon Alliance, as an alchemist, he often ca to Sky Machinery City for further study.
Just as a Prophet Wizard would go to the Crown Star Church for further study, or a Gourt Sorcerer would go to Candy House, Sky Machinery City was considered the Holy Land of alchemy in the Southern Domain. Brufen spent even more ti here than he did in Frostmoon.
For this reason, Brufen knew very well that if he were expelled for attacking Angel, it would be difficult for him to return to Sky Machinery City in the future.
Under these circumstances, Brufen backed down.
The words of Mad Bear Sabo were not deliberately hidden, so now, everyone who was still paying attention to this conflict beca aware of them.
Although no particular stance was evident at the mont, it was foreseeable that this news would ignite the public opinion in Sky Machinery City again after today.
The addition of a new mber to the research institute was indeed a big deal!
Angel was also surprised that Sabo would suddenly speak out at this mont… Was this an implicit acknowledgnt of his own status?
Angel had the access card for a while but had not previously disclosed his identity, obviously with so considerations in mind, perhaps feeling he was not yet qualified? Or maybe soone within the research institute felt it was inappropriate? Now, however, in public, he was directly acknowledged as a mber of the research institute, which obviously carried a deeper aning.
“I understand,” Winchester sighed inwardly. At this point, they had no choice but to bow their heads.
As for Angel…
Winchester looked towards Angel, who was now radiating light, and spoke slowly, “I had no intention of fighting with you today, and I hope that next ti we et, we can have a friendly exchange. I am very much looking forward to that mont.”
Brufen did not say anything more either; after all, he and Winchester ca to Sky Machinery City this ti for their own bodily issues. Angel’s matter was not on their agenda.
Now that Angel was a mber of the research institute, that status was enough to settle the issue. It wasn’t that they did not act, but they did not dare to lay a hand on a mber of the research institute in Sky Machinery City.
With this in mind, Brufen and Winchester touched their noses and left in a sowhat embarrassed manner.
Angel did not expect the situation to take such a sudden and dramatic turn. He dared to act today because he had the idea of leveraging soone’s influence, though he was prepared to rely on his ntor’s; unexpectedly, the ntor did not show up, but the influence of the research institute was used instead.
However, it did not matter anymore, as the result was good.
Angel moved forward and thanked Sabo.
Sabo looked at Angel with a complicated gaze; he had rushed over the mont the conflict arose, already having received Lord Muse’s transmission.
Sabo thought that by revealing the na of the research institute at Angel’s most difficult mont, he could not only save Angel but also ensure his loyalty to the institute.
To his surprise, Angel managed to stand up to two Official Wizards and hold his own!
To think that the last ti Sabo saw him in Sky chanical City, Angel was fighting with a group of Apprentices in the Purification Garden for a chance to survive. The current change was indeed stunning.
Especially since Sabo, as a bloodline-side wizard, could clearly sense in the previous battle that Angel’s physique could almost match that of a bloodline-side Official Wizard.
How Angel achieved this in such a short ti, Sabo had no idea.
Although it looked like the research institute had saved the day this ti, Sabo was clear that even if he hadn’t ntioned the institute’s na, Angel would not have faced any trouble. And judging by Angel’s calm deanor, it was clear that he still had so aces up his sleeve.
“You really surprised ,” Sabo shook his head in amazent.
Only now did the Enforcent Squad Captain, who had been waiting outside, hurry over. They imdiately understood the higher-ups’ intentions upon learning that Angel was a mber of the research institute.
Angel was also an alchemist, and becoming friendly with him was definitely a win.
Unfortunately, they had missed the best opportunity, but it was not too late to co over now and make an appearance.
As they thought this, Sabo said to Angel, “Oh, I ca here for another reason. ntor Midora asked to bring you to the research institute. He wants to see you about sothing.”
