I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Chapter 619 Do you even understand the Duke's importance?

"Your Highness Tester, we didn't cause any trouble!"

After bowing slightly to Tester, Priss pointed to Kuro's coffin and said with a hint of excitement, "Both of them contributed to the kingdom, but Kuro was treated with such high honors by the royal family after his death, while Reeves and Zina were imprisoned."

To this day, we still do not know whether they are alive or dead!

Your Highness, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of those who have devoted themselves to the kingdom by doing this?

With such differential treatment, how can the kingdom's warriors be expected to serve the kingdom wholeheartedly in the future?

While Pris was speaking, Casta, Salin, and a group of other high-ranking nobles gathered behind Pris, looking at Tester with sorrowful expressions.

As a duke, Priss didn't care what the common people around him thought of him.

In any case, these people at the bottom of society will never have the power to make decisions.

However, he felt that the Adventurers' Guild and Tester cared a lot about what the public thought.

He chose this particular day to cause trouble, just to escalate the situation.

Kuro died fighting for the kingdom.

Reeves and Zina have been at the seventh rank for many years and have done a lot for the kingdom.

As a result, the former was hailed as a hero.

The latter is now imprisoned for the crime of stealing state secrets without his knowledge.

Such differential treatment appears unfair to passersby, making their protest today understandable.

Moreover, Tester needs to give Priss an explanation in order to maintain his image as a just and benevolent person.

Otherwise, who among future professionals would dare to serve the royal family?

Today, Priss brought almost all the high-ranking members of the aristocratic faction here to put pressure on Tester.

They forced Tester to release the prisoners!

If Tester were to utter a single "no," sowing seeds of discord among these high-ranking officials, the kingdom would inevitably descend into chaos.

However, the idea is wonderful.

To Pulis's utter surprise, in just a few days, Anno had already become an eighth-tier powerhouse.

These few people were no longer a powerful group in front of Anno.

"Kuro died fighting for his country, and it is only right that he receives honor."

As Anno spoke, he walked to the front, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on Pulis, and slowly said, "Reeves and Zina disobeyed the Crown Prince's orders, entered the venue without permission to inquire about state secrets, and disregarded the laws of the kingdom."

They weren't beheaded on the spot, which was already a mercy given their contributions to the kingdom.

Otherwise, they would have been executed long ago!

Before Pris could speak, Anno continued, "Lord Troy, during the escort of the kingdom's heroes to the Heroes' Tomb, someone jumped out to cause trouble. According to the kingdom's laws, what should be done?"

Troy hesitated for a moment before saying, "Disrupting the order of the royal city and damaging the image of heroes are capital offenses for commoners."

However, since Priest is a duke, the punishment can be lenient and will have virtually no impact on him.

Those who can become dukes all have ancestors who have made great contributions to the kingdom and possess many privileges.

This is why Pris dared to stand guard here.

Pulis stroked his mustache, leaned back, and said, "Baron Anno, do you even understand the weight of a duke?"

Anuo smiled, deliberately mocking, "You're just relying on your ancestors' good deeds; otherwise, what other skills do you have?"

Anno was well aware of the Duke's immense power.

He asked that question on purpose.

The purpose was to say that sentence to provoke Pris.

As expected, Pris, who had originally intended to target Anno, was furious when he heard Anno's mocking words and retorted, "Boy, are you underestimating the abilities of an eighth-tier archmage?"

Do you know what an eighth-tier spell means?

A normal eighth-tier spell requires 20 to 50 mana to support it, and its power multiplied by eight is between 160 million and 400 million!

This is still the most basic level of damage.

If a knight were to be struck by an eighth-tier spell without any defense, the subsequent elemental damage and the ongoing wound would be enough to leave an eighth-tier knight severely injured and unable to recover.

Eighth-tier cloth armor classes will be instantly blasted into dust by eighth-tier magic.

"I think it's probably nothing serious!"

Anno shrugged, looking completely unconcerned, and said, "Besides, you're so old!"

"You bastard!"

With a flash, a delicate magic wand appeared in Pris's hand.

Casta, Salin, and others stepped forward to try and put pressure on Anno.

On Anno's side, before Troy and the others could move, a group of people wearing hoods and black robes emerged from the crowd and faced Casta and the others.

"Monster?"

Upon seeing the monster's face beneath the hood, Casta and the others immediately drew their weapons in alarm.

However, they quickly realized that this was Anno's summoned creature.

There weren't many summoned creatures that came up; including Liz and Sassi next to Anno, there were only ten!

However, this number is still greater than that of Casta and others.

"Glug~!"

Casta swallowed hard.

The two-and-a-half-meter-tall little giant in front of me was emanating a magical energy fluctuation of level 40!

There is a gap not only in quantity, but also in quality.

"A level 40 demon?"

Priss frowned as he looked at Buck, who was rather large, and said, "Anno, you can actually summon demons?"

Anno said calmly, "I can summon too many things."

"snort!"

Pulis scoffed, "You really think you're invincible just because you have a few peak seventh-tier summons? Looks like I need to teach you a lesson!"

"I couldn't ask for more!"

Anno smiled and, without turning his head, said to Troy, "You guys clear the road and go ahead. I'll spar with the Duke!"

"Well!"

Pulis was surprised that Anno would dare to propose a sparring match.

"Is this guy really stupid, or does he think I'm not going to kill him!"

Pris stared at Anno, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

If it's the latter, then I'm truly sorry.

I, Pris, will absolutely not hold back against you!

Thinking of this, Priss feigned concern and said, "You were the one who brought this up first. Magic is uncontrollable. If it hurts you, don't keep bothering me!"

"Stop talking nonsense, you've practically delivered yourself to my doorstep!"

After Anno finished speaking, he covered his eyes with his right hand.

When he released his grip again, his right eye instantly locked onto Priss.

The next moment, Anno and Pris disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Lord Priss!"

The sudden disappearance of Priss startled Casta and the others, causing their expressions to change several times in an instant.

Taking the opportunity, Liz instructed Buck and the other summoned creatures, "Our master has ordered the road to be cleared, what are you all standing there for!"

"Yes, sir!"

Buck responded, flicked his wrist, and his scarlet claws shot out with a whoosh.

They then glared fiercely at Casta and his group, and said in a cold voice, "Get out of my way!"
