Chapter 506: Chapter 294: Bombing the City with the Magic Crystal Cannon_3
 

“Unlawful assembly and affray, go back and assist in the investigation. If it turns out as you say, we’ll release you then,” the Sheriff explained kindly.

Luther also smiled kindly: Trust you? No way.

He glanced at Ange without a trace, found that Ange did nothing, but there was still plenty of time. Let’s go and see what they are up to. If they dare not to handle this case properly, he would tear down their sheriff station then.

Luther, holding Little Angel and Little Zombie’s hands, followed the Sheriff to the station. If he didn’t hold them, Little Angel would start fighting right away, and that would be a mess.

Not only did he have to hold their hands, but he also had to whisper, “Don’t start, wait till we’re at the place.”

The group arrived at the sheriff station, the pretended thieves that had been brought back were locked up in another room.

The sheriff smiled at Luther, “May I ask where are you from? What are you doing here at Rex? How many people are you?…”

Luther answered honestly.

After the sheriff learned that Ange and others came from the desert, came for a tour, and there were only four people and a horse in his sight, his face darkened and asked, “You were involved in unlawful assembly and affray, violating local laws. You need to go to jail and pay a fine. Would you choose prison or a fine?”

Luther said, “We didn’t engage in a fight. They tried to steal from me.”

“Stealing? Bring the wounded here,” the sheriff commanded.

Soon, seven or eight thieves were brought up, crying on their knees, unanimously declaring, “Sir, we are wronged. We were walking down the road, and they charged at us and attacked anyone they saw. They injured all of us.”

“Yes, yes, he even called us thieves, and said we were a gang. God, I was just out for grocery shopping, I don’t know any of these people.”

“Yes, yes, we don’t know each other. It was them who charged at us and injured all of us.”

The thieves spoke unanimously.

The Sheriff turned back and said, “It seems, you are not involved in an affray but an assault. You’ll be sentenced to flogging, but you can pay a fine to avoid it. Would you pay the fine or accept the flogging?”

Luther laughed, “Punishment, my ass!”

Little Angel was the first to rush out, raising her small fists.

A series of screams echoed in the sheriff station. Half an hour later, both the soldiers and the sheriff lay on the ground. There were even several at the entrance.

Almost all of them lying at the entrance had a big hoof print on their faces. Lightning stood at the entrance, blocking everyone from running out.

They had already shown mercy, but it still only lasted half an hour. Luther was somewhat unsatisfied. He grabbed the sheriff, shoved him into a chair, and questioned, “Do you usually collude like this?”

The badly beaten Sheriff cried, “I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t know. I won’t dare to do it again.”

Looking at him, Luther didn’t find it interesting. There was no sense of accomplishment in bullying these ordinary people.

“Fortunately, we are the ones who ended up in your hands. If it were other law-abiding citizens, they would have been bankrupted by you. Don’t be a sheriff anymore. Go home and be a cripple.” Luther broke the sheriff’s leg and arm, kicked him aside.

Just then, a shooting star streaked across the sky, falling not far away, there came a loud noise, violent tremors, a mushroom cloud rising into the sky, and intense elemental fluctuations.

“What’s happening?” Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the loud noise.

Negris looked at the huge mushroom cloud and said, “It seems like a Magic Crystal Cannon? Did someone launch a Magic Crystal Cannon into the city?”

Luther grabbed the sheriff he just kicked aside, pointed in the direction of the smoke, “What’s over there? Who’s firing the Magic Crystal Cannon?”

The sheriff’s face turned pale from the pain, he barely managed to look towards the direction of the mushroom cloud, his face turned even paler:

“That…that’s the City Lord’s Mansion. Someone is attacking the City Lord’s Mansion with a cannon. It must be the pirates… I see, it must be the Black Pirate Group, the mortal enemies of the Canglong Pirate Group. Last month, Canglong raided their den, they must be here for revenge.”

“Black Pirate Group? Who came up with such a casual name?” Luther said weakly. Suddenly, a bright light caught his attention. Looking up, his face turned white instantly.

A Magic Crystal Cannonball was seen, tracing a parabolic arc across the sky, heading their way. The landing point was exactly where they were – the sheriff station. When bombarding a city, the sheriff station would undoubtedly be the first target to get rid of.

The Magic Crystal Cannon is the most potent magic weapon humanity has ever invented. Its power cannot be resisted by human power. Not even a High-level Sword Saint couldn’t stand a blow from it. Even a Truth Mage, if caught off guard, can be shattered to pieces.

The only option was to run. The Magic Crystal Cannon wasn’t particularly fast, and its landing point was predictable. Most masters could evade it, so the Magic Crystal Cannon could generally only be used to attack fixed targets.

Luther instinctively wanted to dodge, but upon turning around, he saw that Little Angel, Little Zombie, Lightning, and Ange, all were staring blankly at the glowing Magic Crystal Cannonball.

The only one who moved was Ange. Ange was seen stepping into the air, charging towards the Magic Crystal Cannonball with dragon scales crawling all over him.

Negris, who was reflected on Ange’s body, shouted anxiously, “Are you insane? Why are you turning into a Dragon God? Time Stop and Space Solidification are useless. It will still explode when the time comes, and you will die. Turning into Steadfast Locke would be much better than turning into a Dragon God!”

Ange was too busy to heed him. He reached out with both hands and activated Space Solidification just before the Magic Crystal Cannonball could reach his hands.
