Endless Sea.
The office of the Bounty Departnt.
The Deputy Minister’s face showed a flash of surprise.
"The Electric Eel Wizard?"
The staff nodded, obviously also finding the situation difficult.
Hundred Flowers remained calm, her mind a whirl of thoughts.
"We weren’t sure who frad Master Fire Dragon for the murder... but now it seems so people can’t wait to show their true colors."
Without a doubt.
It was the Electric Eel Wizard who colluded with the Eight-Ard Demon Witch to assassinate Master Fire Dragon.
After the Master killed the Eight-Ard Demon Witch in self-defense, the Electric Eel Wizard worried about the Master claiming the reward and becoming even stronger, so he took away the one Morning Star-level oddity belonging to the Burning Faction first.
Of course, there were other possibilities, but the Electric Eel Wizard’s suspicion could not be ruled out.
As Hundred Flowers ca to understand all this, she did not make a scene.
That would be pointless and would only alert the enemy.
With a sowhat dejected tone, Clavier showed regret as he said,
"Elena, would you like to choose a different oddity?"
Hundred Flowers shook her head.
"Sorry, I only want that Burning oddity."
Clavier pondered for a mont and then said,
"Give a mont."
He temporarily left the hall and headed to the Minister’s office.
The Minister, a middle-aged wizard with a goatee and a short, thin build, looked unremarkable but was at the level of Sixth Circle Perfection.
The Deputy Minister asked,
"Minister, the reward for killing the Eight-Ard Demon Witch, that Burning Artifact... Can we get it back? After all, it’s our Bounty Departnt’s possession, and now Lady Elena only wants that specific item, she’s not interested in anything else."
The Minister frowned and said,
"She’s from the Ocean Faction, what does she want with a Burning Artifact? Take it or leave it, who does she think she is? Is she sothing special just because she has a bit of talent?"
As a wizard nearing the end of his lifespan, what he hated most were people like the Flower Witch.
Working so hard at his cultivation, spending so much ti, still unable to advance beyond the seven-circle. Why?
The Deputy Minister spoke earnestly,
"Minister, I think it’s inappropriate to let the Electric Eel Wizard take away that Burning Artifact... First of all, although our Bounty Departnt is a subsidiary of the Law Enforcent Departnt, we have independent ownership of our property. Secondly, according to the ’Reward Money Standard Act,’ killing a Sixth Ring Senior does not, under any circumstances, rit a Morning Star-level oddity. Morning Star artifacts are extrely rare and only deserved by one who kills a seven-circle wizard or perhaps a top-level genius with Sixth Circle Perfection."
The Minister waved his hand dismissively,
"Enough, don’t recite the law to here. How many years have I worked in the Bounty Departnt? Don’t you think I understand? Talking reason here with is pointless;
you need to speak with those above."
The Deputy Minister, left speechless, turned and left.
Back in the hall.
Having discussed the situation with Levi, Hundred Flowers received a straightforward answer.
"Then just pick another one, go for that Frost Artifact."
Sinc it had co to that, she no longer insisted. However, her dissatisfaction with the Electric Eel Wizard remained distinct.
She even considered calling over the Lady Witch to argue with these people.
But on second thought, she decided against it.
Star Tower was jointly established by the Sea of Six Towers, with the Letney Family being just one aspect of it.
The crows of this world are generally black, with the Letney Family covering the sky with one hand in the Law Enforcent Departnt, it’s natural that other departnts were controlled by other top organizations.
As part of the ruling class, none of the Six Towers were good, and no one could criticize the other.
With a blue crow-shaped oddity in hand, Elena was ready to leave,
when she saw a figure in a golden robe entering.
His blonde hair fluttering, lightning flashing, his appearance distinguished, who else could it be but the Electric Eel Wizard?
The Electric Eel Wizard chuckled,
"Isn’t this Elena?"
Elena replied with a smile,
"Isn’t this the electric eel?"
The Electric Eel Wizard’s face twitched;
not being called ’wizard’ or ’my lord’ was surely an insult.
He laughed and said,
"What brings Elena here?"
Elena responded,
"Nothing."
She walked past the Electric Eel Wizard with an even expression, even letting out a disdainful snort.
The Electric Eel Wizard, suppressing the urge to react, turned around to watch Elena leave, his heart shadowed.
"Ha, let’s see if you can still laugh when Levi is dead."
He didn’t believe Elena was the one who killed the Eight-Ard Demon Witch. Elena was powerful, but she had only advanced to Sixth Circle Perfection not long ago, and her spiritual force was barely over four thousand points, while the Eight-Ard Demon Witch had a spiritual force close to the five thousand maximum.
Both were at Sixth Circle Perfection, but the gap between them was substantial.
It must have been a powerful person behind Master Fire Dragon who had killed the Eight-Ard Demon Witch. Then they claid the reward in the na of Elena.
As to whether this powerful individual was Fire Dragon’s good friend Levi was yet to be determined.
Levi’s displayed realm and power were even less than Elena’s, yet it seed he had so hidden abilities.
In any case, whether it be Master Fire Dragon or Levi, neither was an ordinary opponent.
He would be very cautious in dealing with these people.
As for that Burning oddity, it was already in his pocket.
Even if he couldn’t refine it, he could trade it with soone else.
The failures of these recent actions had only spurred the Electric Eel Wizard’s competitive spirit.
"A dull life, finally showing so ripples."
...
Ancient Dragon Continent.
Levi looked at the blue crow oddity in Elena’s hand and said,
"This is the ’Branch Cold Crow,’ an extrely fine Truth Oddity, thank you."
Elena asked,
"How do you know the nas of so many oddities?"
Levi responded,
"From the guide Ms. Lucy gave ."
Elena said,
