Shock! The Spell Is In English! Chapter 287 - Lucy's Abnormality

Chapter 287: Lucy’s Abnormality

At ten o’clock the next morning, Lugh and the others entered Blue Star City’s territory.

Not long after, a Gold-tier Beast Master wearing a military uniform appeared in front of Team 14 on a Golden Saber Eagle.

After greeting Lugh and the others, the Beast Master from Blue Star City led them towards Blue Star City.

At the entrance of Blue Star City, the members of Team 14 all jumped down and retrieved their flying-type pets.

When the officer in charge of defense at the city gate saw the 14th emergency team land, he immediately isolated a pa.s.sage for Lugh and the others.

The people who pa.s.sed by the city gate all stood to one side, curiously sizing up Lugh and his group of over seventy people.

It was rare for more than seventy Emergency Response Team Beast Masters to appear together.

The military officer of Blue Star City saluted to Lugh. “Major, please come in!”

“Okay!”

Before entering the city gates, Lugh, Gary, Lucy, and the others all noticed the missing person notices posted densely at the gates of Blue Star City.

Lugh asked the military officer, “Do you have a car?”

“Yes!”

“Arrange a car. We have urgent matters to attend to at the military headquarters to see Guardian Scott.” Lugh pointed at the other members of Team 14 and said, “Make arrangements for them!”

“Yes.”

Lugh and the other two got into the military car and headed straight for the military headquarters of Blue Star City.

The members of the Emergency Response Team had just left, and the civilians of Blue Star City started to get nervous.

“What happened to our Blue Star City? The members of the Emergency Response Team are all here.”

The Emergency Response Team had a very high reputation in the entire Southwest Region, but they were not welcomed.

That was because wherever they went, it indicated that the local area was in big trouble.

“I don’t know. There seems to be no strange movements of Fierce Beasts recently!”

“Do you guys think that someone has gone missing?”

…

All the civilians were silent.

Someone said in a low voice, “If that’s the case, that would be the best. However, would the Emergency Response Team care about such a small matter like missing people?”

“I didn’t expect the brothers of the Emergency Response Team to arrive. Why didn’t you inform us in advance? We haven’t made any preparations yet!”

After arriving at the military headquarters of Blue Star City, the Guardian of Blue Star City, Scott, directly welcomed them.

Scott was 45 years old. He was thin and small, slightly more than 1.6 meters tall. He had a buzz cut, a beard, and a smile on his face.

Strictly speaking, Scott could indeed call Lugh and the others as brothers.

Lugh had seen Scott’s detailed information.

Scott was born as a commoner, living in the slums of Blue Star City when he was young.

His father was an unemployed vagrant, but his hobby was gambling.

He had cheated on a bet once, and was beaten up. When he was discovered, he had already died in the gutter.

His mother had brought him up. Not long after Scott awakened his talent as a Beast Master, Scott’s mother had died from overwork.

After joining the Reclamation Unit, Scott performed exceptionally well. After becoming a Gold-tier Beast Master at the age of 27, he joined Skylight City’s Emergency Response Team.

After breaking through to Platinum-tier Beast Master, Scott ran for the position of Team 10’s Captain.

After being defeated by Bill, he was transferred to Blue Star City to become the Guardian.

Looking at Scott’s resume, he was truly outstanding.

He could be said to be one of the exemplary examples of a commoner Beast Masters rebelling.

This world wasn’t fair to begin with.

The vast majority of commoners were unable to awaken their Beast Master talent. They could only work hard and do their best to find food and clothing.

Even if they awakened their Beast Master talent, it didn’t mean that they would be able to rise to great heights.

Beast Masters were a profession that ate resources very much.

Many Beast Masters who came from commoner backgrounds signed a contract with their first pet, and their growth potential was only Bronze-rank.

In addition to the lack of other resources to raise their pet beasts, if they were lucky, they would only be able to become Silver-rank Beast Masters in their lifetime, which was already considered very outstanding.

As for young Beast Masters who came from rich families, their first pet beast’s growth potential was usually Silver-rank, Gold-rank, or even Platinum-rank.

Scott was able to become a Platinum-rank Beast Master and become the Guardian of a city.

He relied on fighting on the battlefield, acc.u.mulating battle merits, and killing his way through.

“Guardian Scott, we’re here with a mission.”

“What mission?”

“Morton, come out for a moment. Don’t be afraid!”

Morton lowered his head and came out from behind his house.

He was very afraid of Scott.

Scott asked uncertainly, “Is this Morton?”

Lugh asked, “Does Guardian Scott know him?”

“Yes, he stole a missing person’s doc.u.ment from the City Guard Army and went missing.” Scott did not hide it at all. “I was still considering not to issue a wanted notice to him, but I didn’t expect you to find him.”

Scott’s face was calm.

Lugh, Gary, and Lucy did not expect Scott to have such a reaction.

They all felt that this was going to be troublesome.

Could it be that… there was really nothing wrong with Scott?

Lugh stared at Scott and asked, “Then, does Guardian Scott know why our Emergency Response Team is here?”

“They must be here for the matter of our Blue Star City’s missing people, right?” Scott said bitterly, “I am indeed very responsible for this matter. I did not realize the connection between the number of missing people and the Black Feather Organization. Ever since I received the order from the military, I have begun to send people to secretly investigate the Black Feather Organization.”

Gary looked at Lugh. The development of the matter had completely exceeded their expectations.

Lugh took a deep breath. “Guardian Scott, when the military asked you to report the missing people, how did you report it?”

“Of course I reported it truthfully,” Scott said frankly. “According to the age ratio of the missing people in Blue Star City, the Black Feather Organization has a high probability of cultivating Blue Jade b.u.t.terflies in Blue Star City.”

Gary and Lucy were stunned when they heard Scott’s answer.

“But the report we received from the Southwest Military Department was completely different… The report from Blue Star City said that the missing people ratio in Blue Star City is normal, and they are mainly concentrated in young children. After investigation, there is no trace of the Black Feather Organization.”

Scott said in surprise, “Isn’t that so? How is that possible? That is the doc.u.ment that I personally signed!”

Gary raised a possibility. “Could it be that the doc.u.ment was switched?”

Lugh looked at Lucy without changing his expression and nodded as well. “Guardian Scott, can you find the person who sent the doc.u.ment immediately?”

Scott said angrily, “Alright, I’ll send someone to call him over immediately.”

At this moment, Lucy stood up and asked, “Oh right, Guardian, has your Blue Star City really found the Black Feather Organization’s stronghold to nurture the Blue Jade b.u.t.terflies?”

Scott looked at Lucy’s rank of Second Lieutenant, then at Lugh.

He noticed that Major Lugh didn’t say anything, as if he had tacitly agreed to the lieutenant’s question.

Being questioned by a lieutenant, Scott’s expression was a little grim.

However, he still answered, “We just found them not long ago. Those of us who haven’t arrived yet are taking action.”

“Guardian Scott, how many people do you plan to send?”

“Ten Gold-tier Beast Masters and thirty Silver-tier Beast Masters should be enough.”

“No, our 14th emergency team must be involved in the matter of annihilating the Black Feather Organization,” Lucy said loudly. “Our emergency team is here for this mission.”

Scott suppressed the anger in his heart and said, “Of course the emergency team can be involved.”

If it was Lugh, he definitely wouldn’t be angry.

But if it was brought up by this Second Lieutenant, then there would be a problem.

Scott had heard of Lugh’s reputation. He was the champion of the Southwest Grand Compet.i.tion and the number one genius Beast Master in the Southwest.

He also knew that Lugh was currently the 14th Team leader and was highly valued by the Southwest Military.

He had originally thought that being able to receive the Southwest Military’s attention and nurture, Lugh would make him a young and mature figure.

It could only be said that fame wasn’t as good as meeting him.

Scott hadn’t expected that not only did Lugh get a beautiful woman to be his adjutant, but he was also so indulgent with her.

He, Scott, was a Major after all. In terms of military rank, he was on the same level as Lugh.

So what if that woman was a Platinum-tier Beast Master?

Wasn’t he one as well?

In the military, what was more important was battle merits and military rank.

As long as there were sufficient battle merits, the Southwest Army would definitely give them military ranks, even if they didn’t have real power and only received treatment.

Who knew… At this time, Lucy asked, “Guardian Scott, isn’t it too little for your Blue Star City to send out ten Gold-tier Beast Masters? Can you mobilize all the Gold-tier Beast Masters that can be mobilized in Blue Star City?”

“Your 14th emergency team should have quite a number of Gold-tier Beast Masters, right? It’s just the Black Feather Organization that’s lurking in the city!” Scott looked at Lugh and said, “It’s a bit too much of a fuss.”

Lucy was about to say something when Lugh raised his hand to stop her.

“It’s like this, Guardian Scott. Before you, the four new cities have already discovered traces of the Black Feather Organization. The four Guardians have also sent troops to destroy the Black Feather Organization.”

Lugh’s tone was heavy as he said, “Everything was going smoothly initially. Regardless of the problems in Blue Star City, the Black Feather Organization is very powerful. The other Guardians and more than ten Gold-tier Beast Masters have demonstrated that the Black Feather Organization has successfully outmaneuvered us.”
