Chapter 106: 44 Scenes: Isn’t it a Prison Break? - 3

The girl with the long ponytail couldn’t help but glance at Romantic, who was staring at the moon as if he hadn’t heard the conversation. But Frey thought, Aunt Jenny indeed seemed a bit mysterious; she often brought back strange items from outside. The villagers said she was a witch and didn’t interact much with her family.

Brand listened to the three of them talking, but a strange phrase suddenly appeared in his mind:

XVI:THETOWER——

The lost ’Moon’ has taken away the Light.

He was stunned for a moment, thinking he was hallucinating. He quickly shook his head, but couldn’t help but recall that dream he had while unconscious that night.

In the midst of a quiet darkness, everything in the dream appeared bizarre and surreal. However, the dream was consistently marked by a solitary black moon and a tall tower standing silently in the middle of a pitch-black lake.

After that, he met Frey. But just as he thought of this, he heard Miss Merchant on the side staring at the moon and saying, "Something’s coming, Brand."

The remaining three people all looked up.

After about twenty seconds, everyone present heard the low sound of wings flapping from the sky. But while Frey felt puzzled and uneasy, Brand and Char were calm and composed, especially Brand, who looked up.

The next moment, a Stone Statue Ghost with open wings leaped out from the moonlit clouds. The stone demon with spread wings formed a mysterious scene amidst the bright moonlight and clouds in the eyes of the three——

"Brand, that’s your Stone Statue Ghost!" Romantic immediately recognized it.

"Indeed, are you afraid of heights?"

Miss Merchant quickly shook her head.

"What do you, what do you want to do, Brand?" Frey suddenly realized something, her face turning pale.

When Lord Jin Guo barged into Burnley’s home with a stern face, the latter, an honorary noble reputed to be a grand workshop owner and industrialist, was examining an exquisite piece of brass armor through a magnifying glass. After all, in the collection of any collector, armor in the style of the Year of Radiant Return was priceless.

Burnley calmly retrieved the magnifying glass and glanced at his companion with some mockery in his voice: "What, did that guy sneak out of town with everyone overnight?"

"It’s not that serious. The prisoners escaped tonight!" Upon mentioning this, Seber couldn’t help but get furious, though his anger was more about the madman who stormed into his residence, shouting and demanding.

"That’s just a minor issue. How did they escape?"

"That’s not what I’m angry about." Lord Jin Guo shook his head, taking a deep breath: "I’m angry because that ’tiger’ Luc Besson from the White Mane Legion actually came to me, saying I imprisoned a Highland Knight’s descendant in his dungeon, and asked if I was trying to cause trouble!"

"A Highland Knight?" Burnley was taken aback.

"Yes, he said one of those three was a Highland Knight. Plus, his Mage Followers were with him. My God, he even demanded that I hand him over, claiming I couldn’t touch that person and must transfer him to his legion." Lord Jin Guo was incensed at the thought.

"So what happened?"

"So, the result is, I have to bring people to settle this, in the middle of the night. That guy is simply too much!" He replied angrily.

"Don’t act impulsively. Let Glanson handle this. I’ll transfer some people from my private army to help you." Burnley responded with a smile.

Lord Jin Guo looked at him gratefully, for the first time not finding his round face so annoying. But he reminded him, "Actually, there’s one more thing. I heard you recently transported a batch of armor into the city? Be careful. Although building your own power isn’t a big deal nowadays, be wary of giving others leverage against you."

He couldn’t help but glance around the room.

"Just a personal hobby." The industrialist replied with a smile.

(PS. Strange, why does it always feel like the score is so much lower.)
