460 Lilos Help (1/2)

It was the Fallen Angel Lilo who created the explosion.

As the guards refused her entry, the hot-tempered Fallen Angel blasted the Merchant Alliance manor's door.

When Nicholas arrived, he saw the Fallen Angel, who resided in Winterfell for a short period of time. He knew about the relationship between the Fallen Angel and Lord Sherlock.

Nicholas followed the Orc commander quickly to the manor's door. The scene was in ruins.

Fortunately, nobody was injured. Only the huge metal door was blown to bits, as the Fallen Angel had used it to vent her anger.

After the fanfare, she asked a simple question.

”Where is Sherlock?”

…

When the staff members arrived at Sherlock's room, it was locked, and there was nobody inside.

When they looked for Lord Sherlock's secretary, Eggface, he was befuddled. In fact, Eggface wasn't fully awake.

”Lord Sherlock's door was closed. How would I know what he was doing?”

Eggface looked irritated as he rebuked the staff members before returning to his dwelling.

Nicholas was embarrassed. He didn't expect the Black Dragon to be that insolent.

He thought that Eggface would be courteous since he had a good relationship with Sherlock. It was too much to ask of a Black Dragon.

It would be strange if a Black Dragon treated anyone with respect.

”Miss Lilo, as you've seen, Lord Sherlock might be resting. Shall we look for him tomorrow?” Nicholas said to Lilo beside him.

Lilo frowned and placed her hand on the door.

Then there was another loud explosion.

The door was blasted open, just like the huge door of the manor.

Nicholas was shocked. Was Lilo not afraid that Sherlock would be disgusted by her action? A guy didn't like to be disturbed at this time.

Lilo walked into the room. Nicholas didn't want to go in, but he was afraid Sherlock and Lilo might break into a fight. If a superior Devil and a Fallen Angel fought, then it wouldn't be as simple as blasting a door.

The Merchant Alliance made good arrangements for the privacy of Sherlock. There were no other guests staying beside Sherlock.

Nicholas was counting his blessings. At least there wouldn't be spectators watching the embarrassing scene.

Both of them stepped through the door and surveyed the living room.

The interior was Lord Sherlock's bedroom. However, they shouldn't enter as it could be fatal. Who knew what Sherlock and the Succubus were doing?

Nicholas only allowed a female Succubus assistant and an Orc staff member to follow Lilo into the bedroom.

He was mentally prepared for a third explosion, but it didn't occur.

”Lord Nicholas, please come here!” The voice of his staff came from the bedroom.

Nicholas was taken aback. He hesitated for quite some time before going in. It shouldn't be that bad since the hot-tempered Fallen Angel didn't cause any more explosions.

Nicholas walked in. The bedroom wasn't what he imagined.

It wasn't an embarrassing scene. Sherlock was sitting on the bed, and Evelynn was sitting beside Sherlock.

There were elliptical Mana Formations at their feet.

At this moment, the Mana Formations were active.

That was why the staff called Nicholas in.

”Everyone, stop moving!” Nicholas shouted immediately. He felt something was amiss when he saw the Mana Formations.

All the staff members were stunned. They froze as they looked at Nicholas.

”This is a high-level Mana Skill to control the victim's awareness! I have only seen this in legendary books. Lord Sherlock is under an awareness attack. Both of them are trapped in the Mana Formations!”

Nicholas was terrified. He turned his head and said to the guard who was by the door, ”Look for Magicians. The more, the better. We're going to need a lot of Mana to break the Mana Formation!”

The guard ran out and looked for Magicians of the Merchant Alliance.

Nicholas muttered to himself as he paced around the Mana Formations. He was trying to estimate the amount of time required to create the Mana Formations. One month, two months, or three months? Nicholas didn't have confidence, and he wasn't sure whether Lord Sherlock and Evelynn would be adversely affected after the Mana Formations were removed.

Nicholas made up his mind to save Lord Sherlock, no matter how long it took. Lord Sherlock had helped Nicholas numerous times, so he couldn't leave Lord Sherlock in the lurch. He decided to use his entire fortune to employ the best Magician team and rescue Lord Sherlock.
