Chapter 238: Blaze City (2/2)

Because, from what I saw and observed, the most dangerous trait he has is not his professional titles, not his high talent, and not his off the charts battle prowess. It is his calm during rage.

He wouldn't act like a normal person. If you try to play with his emotions, he would just leave them completely and if you start using the people who have a relationship with him, he might involve commoners and the military. We have more to lose.”

”Do you have a better idea?” Duke asked frustratingly.

”I think it is better to negotiate and if possible and you want to save the Dukedom out of the mess, drop the whole Sam thing and wait for the thing to pass and that is if we cannot catch him.”

”Negotiate? Leave that guy and drop the investigations? The whole Dukedom against a Great realm youngster.”

One of the officials yelled even before the Duke and the Duke himself silently approved of the question.

That meeting ended and they don't know what they have brought upon themselves and the worst part is the Deputy General was in charge of the investigation while another squad went to bring people who are friends with Sam previously.

But Deputy General didn't want the things to blow out of proportion and followed them in the name of investigating the places that Sam previously stayed which are 'coincidentally' same places as the previous friends of Sam.

At least, he made sure that they aren't hurt or mistreated by the arrogant officials.

They got their hands-on Shawn, Freya, Haley and they didn't even leave Hawk and Kelly despite their elders' authorities, and even Drew and Ray wasn't spared despite their not so close relationship.

But the Deputy General got something else when the rumor started flying around about the hostage situation.

The person from Violet dew family contacted him on his own accord when he was in the Falcon Cliff city as he was searching for clues in Sam's old house.

And he got the most shocking news which he was most afraid of and wanted to contact the Duke as soon as he can and he was praying that the rumors didn't reach Sam yet.

So, he went to the Marquis city as fast as he can so that he can talk to the Duke in the emergency communication device.

While all this happened, Sam was also busy.

As soon as he was done with the fields in the Herb village, he went towards the Blaze city. This is the fire elemental herb and fire elemental spiritual stones of the southern star.

This city controls the forest in which they made fields of fire elemental herbs and a mine of fire elemental stones with a mine.

He came two days after he was done in the Herb village. The Blaze city's core is the Earthen fire of the magma that was under the ground and all the fields and the mine are above that earthen fire which spread over thousands of yards.

After Sam entered the city, they didn't have to do any preparations because Sam already prepared whatever he wanted.

At night, the guards are having a meeting with their superiors, because they just got the news that Sam dealt with the Herb village and they have to be careful. But they didn't know they made the stupidest decision because of their assumption that Sam wouldn't be able to come to the Blaze city at all in this short time.

But what he doesn't know is Sam is fully busy with his new invention, he was directly using here for the first time and he came up with just now.

This is a formation he made based on the design of a formation blueprint he obtained from the Palace of Inheritance.

The formation he referred was a formation named Lightning Cage. This one is actually a way to use large elemental storage that will be placed under the ground and the nodes will make the energy to form a cage around them.

It is used for defensive purposes and guarding a post or a house.

He looked through it and understood what is happening almost instantly. He knew that it is a complex design and it is a high level on at that, but it is still very simple as he followed the energy patterns and, in few hours, he was done finding an equivalent form of this formation for fire elemental energy.

So, they scouted the whole field which has earthen fire and when they got the proportions right and when the meeting was held which saved effort for Sam to make a distraction, he and his friends started planting the specially made formation nodes which are a form of a fire elemental energy cells.

But before activating the formation, he blew up a large energy cell in the middle of the field and escaped the field and started the formation.

By the time the guards came to the field all they could see was a series of fire pillars around the whole formation and the magma seeping outside from the center on to the fields and the mine going unstable with the spiritual energy currents.

The in-charge understood they are in a formation but before he could decide what they have to do, another explosion was heard and they ran back to the office in which they just had a meeting.

And over the rubble there was a letter.

And the content was the same as the letter that was obtained in the Herb Village. But there is an additional note.

”Sam was here.

And by the way, if you want to smash open the formation I advise you don't because, once you do that, the mine will become unstable and out of control at the same time, the magma will start spreading all over the city.

With that, all the fields, homes, and the lives of the citizens will be gone.”
