Chapter 88: A Terrifying Beam of Light

“Lord Magford…”

“Perhaps, we have another way!”

One of the guards hurriedly said after hearing Magford’s orders.

“Hmm? What other way? Do tell me, Grange.”

Magford hurriedly asked Grange.

A large part of the reason for why Magford was beloved by many was due to how down-to-earth he was when interacting with the common folk. Even though Grange was an ordinary guard, Magford still knew his name.

Grange paused for a moment before responding.

“Duke Magford, you may not know this, but there is indeed a family with a mystical bloodline in Bohr Village.”

“They are born with incomparably powerful strength. Legend has it that one of the Three Heroes who had perished in the desert[1] had hailed from this family.”

Magford nodded slightly when he heard this.

He knew not of this. Even his father had never mentioned this to him.

‘Is this true?’

‘Should such a powerful family exist within Bohr Village, they would certainly possess enough strength to protect the villagers there, even if they ultimately prove to be no match for the dragon.’

With this thought in mind, Magford’s expression became a little better.

After all, he was not willing to give up on the villagers of Bohr Village. After all, they were hundreds of lives within the village!

When he thought of the hundreds of lives that would be lost if he gave up on them, including many children who had just been born, Magford’s heart began to ache.

“In that case, tell me the name of that powerful family and help me contact them.”

Magford quickly made his decision. The first thing he needed to do was to contact the other party.

“They are the Kakadores family.”

Grange quickly said.

Magford nodded.

“Very good. After you escort Molmo back to Bohr village, immediately contact the Kakadores family for me and tell them I have need for their power.”

Grange was slightly hesitant.

After all, he knew that the Kakadores were very proud. He did not know whether it was because of the clan or the bloodline, but they were born to feel superior to others.

He did not know whether or not they would reject Magford’s invitation.

“What’s wrong?”

Magford asked upon noticing Grange’s expression.

“Nothing…”

“It’s just that, my lord, the Kakadores are naturally arrogant. I’m afraid that me rashly heading over to them would only annoy them.”

Grange said.

Magford frowned slightly.

“You should still attempt to make contact with them. If they aren’t willing to help us, then I’ll personally go and meet them.”

Grange’s pupils constricted, and he hurriedly said to Magford, “Absolutely not, my lord. You know exactly how dangerous Bohr village is right now. If you go there personally, you might face great danger.”

Magford shook his head and said fearlessly.

“It’s okay. I’m still a Gold Rank adventurer. Don’t underestimate me.”

Grange looked as if he wanted to say something else, but in the end he held back his tongue. Following this, he then left Magford’s side together with the other guards.

Molmo, who was downstairs, spotted the 10 guards leaving the room.

“Molmo, I’ve sent ten well-equipped guards to escort you back to Bohr Village. They will follow the villagers of Bohr village and look for the traces of the dragon together.”

However, at this moment, the earth suddenly shook!

Rumble!

At this moment, the ground of the Duke’s mansion began to crack uncontrollably.

“What’s going on! ?”

“An earthquake! ?”

“Impossible, there has never been an earthquake in the Moldos Mountains!”

“What the hell is going on!?”

Countless servants and guards in the Duke’s residence were discussing animatedly.

In the corridor, Duke Magford almost stumbled and fell to the ground. He quickly grabbed the railing at the side and stabilized himself.

“What happened?”

Magford asked in shock.

He was certain that this was no simple earthquake.

The Belagroya Residence had been strengthened through a special method, and they had even used magic tools. No ordinary magic would be able to break through his manor’s defenses.

The ground in the center of the residence was cracking!

This meant that the defensive measures in his residence were completely ineffective!

While everyone was panicking, a terrifying dragon’s roar came from afar.

It was in the direction of Bohr village!

Molmo heard the dragon’s roar coming from Bohr village, and his eyes went red. He was incomparably agitated, and he directly ignored everything and rushed in the direction of Bohr village!

‘Something must have happened in Bohr village!’

‘There’s a high chance that the dragon has already made its way into Bohr Village!’

Magford frowned.

The dragon roar confirmed everything Molmo had said.

He no longer hesitated and immediately ordered his guards.

“What are you waiting for? Apart from leaving behind a small team to deliver a letter to the king, the other guards will all set off!”

“But my Lord, who will protect your manor?”

One of the guards asked in confusion.

Magford cursed in his heart and said, “Tom, do you think that I’d just stay here and wait for my demise?”

“Of course I will go with you!”

Everyone was shocked by Magford’s words.

‘The duke will be accompanying us!’

“Get the maids and cooks to run as far as possible. Until I give the order, or until the king’s reinforcements have arrived, they are not to come out of hiding. Do you hear me!?”

Magford ordered.

“Understood!”

Everyone immediately replied.

While everyone in the duke’s residence was preparing to set out, a beam of light suddenly pierced the skies.

It was a terrifying beam of electricity that tore through the clouds!

Because of the beam, the dark clouds that had gathered in the sky were instantly shattered.

The originally gloomy sky instantly became clear. At long last, moonlight was finally visible from the ground!

It was the lightning beam that Max had released!
