Among the team, the Sky Knight of the Elf Queen''s guards made a synchronized maneuver to soar into the sky on the Horned Owl Beast, following Fiona as they flew towards the Elf Royal City of Kolos at top speed.

    Lu Heng and the other two did not linger, returning to the Mechanical Tiger''s back, soared into the sky, and returned to Kolos City together with Fiona.

    Lastly, only Eric remained, riding the Moonshadow Leopard, leading the remaining Elf Guards who had no flying ability, hurrying along on the ground.

    ...

    Two hours later.

    Fiona, leading the Sky Knights, passed through the Sky Ring above Kolos City and directly landed on the training field.

    She jumped off the back of the Horned Owl Beast and loudly called out, "Where is the Queen?" sea??h thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    An Elf Guard ran up and respectfully answered, "General Fiona, a large group of Abyss Poison Toads has appeared at Moon God Lake, and the Queen has already led her personal guards to cleanse the Abyss Poison Toads from Moon God Lake."

    Fiona frowned and quickly asked, "How long ago did they leave?"

    "They left half a day ago," the Elf Guard hurriedly answered.

    At that moment, the Mechanical Tiger also landed.

    Lu Heng reminded, "First find Fred, Queen Orelana is not in danger now."

    The crisis should have descended upon Kolos City, and Queen Orelana, having left the Royal City, was actually less in danger.

    Fiona nodded in agreement, quickly asked, "Has Fred returned? Where is he?"

    "I haven''t seen Deputy Captain Fred," the Elf Guard honestly replied.

    Fiona didn''t continue to ask and immediately ran towards the Magic District.

    Fred was the deputy captain of the Elf Guard of the Magic District of the Royal City, if there was indeed a problem, it would most likely be in the Magic District.

    The group crossed the arch bridge over the Magic Moat and rushed into the Magic District.

    The guards at the entrance to the Magic District, upon seeing Fiona, did not speak to stop her.

    Fiona asked at the entrance, "Where is Deputy Captain Fred?"

    "I haven''t seen Deputy Captain Fred," the Elf Guard at the entrance of the Magic District gave the same reply.

    Fiona rushed into the Magic District, asking the same question to each guard she saw, but no one had seen Fred.

    The Magic District of Kolos City covered a large area, most of its buildings related to magic.

    Such as the Elemental Flame Training Room, Arcane Master classroom.

    And the tallest landmark building was the tower in the center of the Magic District—the Magic Tower.

    Lu Heng called out to Fiona and pointed towards the Magic Tower, "We should go there."

    Fiona''s face turned very solemn, though she did not want to believe it, the situation was urgent, and the problem might truly lie within the Magic Tower.

    She took a deep breath and rushed towards the Magic Tower.

    Upon reaching the entrance, she called out to the guards, "Who is in the Magic Tower?"

    The guard at the entrance bowed his head and answered, "Lord Augustus."

    Fiona furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, and told the guards, "Quickly send someone to Moon God Lake, tell the Queen that something has happened in the Royal City."

    After saying this, she stepped up into the Magic Tower and followed the spiral staircase to the top floor.

    On the top floor, the Great Arcanist Augustus stood there, as if welcoming the day''s visitors.

    Fiona reached the top floor''s Magic Hall, looked around, and did not see Deputy Captain Fred.

    Then, Lu Heng and the others followed up, ascending to this location for the second time, the Magic Hall looked the same as the first time they had seen it.

    "You have arrived," Augustus spoke calmly, as if he had long known someone would come.

    Fiona, not clear about what had happened or where Fred had gone, respectfully asked with a bowed head, "Lord Augustus, may I ask where Deputy Captain Fred has gone?"

    Augustus answered in a calm voice, "I sent him on an errand."

    Fiona pressed further, her brows furrowed, "What errand did you send him on?"

    Augustus''s congenial elderly face revealed a serene smile, "Fiona, there are some matters you should not inquire about."

    By rank and duty, Fiona was merely Queen Orelana''s Personal Guard General—she had no authority to question the actions of the Great Arcanist.

    Fiona could only bow her head and say, "I suspect a crisis is upon us, Lord Augustus, I do not wish to see Quel''dorei fall, nor do I want to see the Queen distressed."

    Augustus spoke in a calm, distant tone, "With me here, no crisis will come."

    Fiona clenched her fists, pressed further, "What if the crisis is upon you, Lord Augustus?"

    Augustus''s tone deepened, "Fiona, you should not think about these matters. Orelana has already gone to Moon God Lake; you should be there too."

    Fulfilling her duty, Fiona truly ought to be guarding Queen Orelana.

    Yet, knowing that a crisis was imminent, she could not simply ignore it.

    Lu Heng, having heard so much yet not grasped the core of the matter, stepped forward, withdrew the Magic Tower Badge, and asked, "Lord Augustus, do you still stand by your promise to exchange a treasure for the Magic Secret Book?"

    The Great Arcanist Augustus remained calm, nodded, and answered, "Of course, a promise given to you will naturally be upheld."

    A glint flashed in Lu Heng''s eye as he spoke, "Then I would like to exchange for a Treasure Bead capable of casting Space-related Restriction Magic."

    At these words, a chill ran through everyone present.

    The Treasure Bead capable of casting Space-related Restriction Magic that Lu Heng mentioned was exactly the treasure used by the attacker who had stolen the Life Protection Box.

    In the Elf Clan, there weren''t many entities possessing a treasure of this level.

    Indeed.

    From the first time he stepped into the Magic Tower, Lu Heng had sensed it.
