Inside Town of the Anonymous.

Mason, the 'Azure Dragon', and Fred, 'the Knight of Frost', slowly landed in front of Mattwe who was known as 'Anger of Earth'.

\”It seems that you've both picked the right way. Following me to the Townkeepers' House for punishment is a smart choice.\” said Mattwe in the rising tone, showing his sarcasm.

This tone was quite annoying but it would not be a big problem in peacetime. However, as now the adventurers in Town of the Anonymous were under great pressure and anxiety, this tone sounded very offensive and could easily set them on fire.

Mason's fists clenched tight and it took him great effort to control his fury, \”…Mattwe, I hope that I can go through the joint questioning of the elves and the sorcerer's first and then go to the house. You can follow me all the time in case I decide to run away. Does that sound okay to you?\”

There was no way that a knight squire or a knight below senior-rank could bargain with a town keeper like this. But as Mason and Fred were radiant knights, as long as they were willing to take the punishment, some extra requests should be granted.

Mason was ready that he would emphasize the strangeness of Mattwe and his people when he was going through the sorcerers and elves' investigation. In this way, even if Mattwe had got other plans, he would not be able to do anything to them as they would be under close watch.

Mattwe, however, burst out the dry laughter, \”No, that doesn't sound okay to me. You're wasting my time! You're a radiant knight, and so am I! Every second of my time is precious. You two better follow me to the house right now, or I'd show no mercy.\”

His voice was cold, and that was his final warning.

Mason and Fred exchanged a look between each other and started talking to each other secretly using the blood power of the Azure Dragon.

\”Is there any personal enmity between Mattwe and us?\” Mason asked confusedly. He wondered why Mattwe had to be so harsh. There were two possibilities: One was that they had pissed him off badly somehow earlier, or Mattwe had got other plans.\”

Fred's eyes were ice-blue, and they now looked very serious, \”No, we barely talked to him. Therefore, the reason that he's behaving like this must be something deeper. We cannot go to that house!\”

As a radiant knight, his instinct told him that if they were going to follow Mattwe to the Townkeepers' House, they would be in great danger. This feeling had been piling up on his heart, and it was going to explode at any time.

Mason very slightly nodded and he turned to look at 'Anger of Earth', \”Mattwe, you're not the one who decides. We need to see those senior elves and sorcerers. They'll be judging!\”

His voice was very loud and determined. He was trying to make every adventurer nearby hear, as well as the elves.

The elves who closed the town looked back. But when they found that it was Mattwe who was doing his business, they all turned back.

Mason did not care but kept going. He roared like a dragon, \”Do you have the guts to see the sorcerers with us!\”

The positions in the conversation had been exchanged.

Then he turned around and walked to the other side of the town, followed by Fred. The muscles in the back were in full alert.

Mattwe sneered and said out aloud, \”The sorcerers and senior elves have commissioned us for this!\”

Before his words faded, the land that Mason and Fred were standing on started waving. The waving was also shaking the houses and cabins along the street. They were going to collapse at any time.

On full alert, Mason quickly reacted. A thick bolt of lightning was summoned and fiercely launched the strike at Mattwe.

Within a second, his body had grown two times bigger. His skin was covered in azure scales and between the scales there were jumping electric arcs.

Fred's sword cut into the wind and the temperature in the small town suddenly dropped. In the cold wind, pieces of ice as sharp as sword blades swirled at Mattwe in the strong wind.

On the way, the blue blade light formed sharp icicles and a thick layer of ice on the ground.

At this time, the place where Mattwe was standing cracked and the scorching red lava gushed out. The extreme temperature resisted the frost and ice. Meanwhile, Mattwe's hand grabbed a brownish-yellow huge hammer energized by bolts of lightning.

\”Senior-rank elves and sorcerers… They have helped Mattwe?\” Mason quickly talked to Fred using the special blood power.

Fred jumped up and hacked downwards. The thick ice brought by the sword blocked the lava.

\”Even if they have, it is only a small part of them. We make this big to let all of them know!\”

As a radiant knight, he was very decisive.

When he was about to launch his storm attack, he suddenly felt that their small battlefield had been separated from the town and entered a piece of shadow.

All the roarings, storms, and bolts of lightning had all been trapped within the shadow. There was no way that these could get out and attract the elves and sorcerers' attention.
