At this moment, the investigation group that the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household has sent to the other abandoned cities was already in White River City, setting up camp, and was briefing everyone again on what they were going to do next.
As soon as the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household received the report about the missing Chaos Mana in Silver City, they quickly assembled an investigation group to go towards all of the other cities of Silver Kingdom to investigate about the current status quo of the Chaos Mana over there place, specifically the Mischievous Lion organization stationed in the Southwest Fortress sent men to the Blacksmoke City, the Heart Noble Household sent men to the Blue Coral City, and lastly, the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household sent men to the Green Weed City, White River City, Williams City, Will City, and Honoris City.
Right now, the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household\'s first stop was the White River City.
Aside from investigating, their other intention was clearly to find who exactly was doing all of this.
Just like what Leo had assumed before, Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, and even Madam Silva who was already busy repacking all of the Sword and Magic\'s inventory were alerted by such a shocking event.
Well, who won\'t be shocked by an entire city\'s worth of Chaos Mana to suddenly disappeared in a single night? Even Emperors of every empire throughout the entire Celestial World would be alerted about such an event if they got to hear about it, not to mention Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, and Madam Silva.
So far though, they only received a report stating that the Blacksmoke City, Green Weed City, and Blue Coral City only has a slight bit of favorable change on their Chaos Mana until now. While on the other hand, the Snow Noble Household, with the help of the Crystal Skull Family and Honoris Family, since they\'re both parts of the Snow Noble Household now, with the majority of their manpower, has been able to cut-half of the Chaos Mana on both Snow City and Crystal Skull City.
However, the moment the investigation group arrived at White River City, they immediately noticed that all the Chaos Mana has also disappeared as well.
Without any hesitation, they immediately sent out a Messenger Raven to the Silver City to quickly report to them about their findings and to also inquire on what they should do next.
Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, and Madam Silva who soon received the report immediately gathered everyone for a meeting which lasted for many hours, causing the investigation group to be delayed by a few hours.
In the end, they reached the same conclusion, which is to continue going to Will City.
But only this time, though, the investigation group stationed at White River City would go to the Will City at the same time as the investigation group sent to the Williams City, just to be safe.
Currently, the investigation group going to Williams City was extremely slow as they were doing their task in the most inconspicuous way possible in case there might be still remaining remnants of the Black organization over there.
If ever there were indeed any remaining remnants of the Black organization, then they will not hesitate to temporarily abandon their purpose of investigating the Chaos Mana and change it to catch those remaining remnants before going back to the investigation once again. After all, it\'s alright to postpone the investigation of the Chaos Mana for a day or two, while on the other hand, the remaining remnants of the Black organization would already be able to hide themselves again with such a given amount of time.
The moment the investigation group stationed in White River City received this change of plans, they then gathered everyone to begin this meeting.
The one in-charged of this investigation group was a four people that Leo has met in the past.
Magical Knight Karl from Silver Family!
Vismot from the Snow Noble Household!
And lastly, both Evangelion and Clydesdale from Sword and Magic!
With such a line-up, it was expected already for this investigation group to be efficient.
However, what happened, in reality, was in fact a lot of delays. No, to be more precise, they were purposely delaying everything.
Why?
Well...
It\'s simply because these four have been ordered by someone, specifically Tiana, Elizabeth, and Angel, to delay Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, and Madam Silva as much as possible.
Apparently, Cassandra and the others don\'t want the investigation group to accidentally catch them in the midst of their plan of secretly leaving Silver Kingdom.
Ethan and Edward already told Tiana about their plan of secretly leaving Silver Kingdom, so she has purposely allowed Magical Knight Karl to volunteer to join this investigation group.
Elizabeth has secretly informed Vismot about Leo\'s plan so that he will have something to report about her as soon as her father, Patriarch Vincent Snow, noticed that she has disappeared from Silver Kingdom. In such a way, he wouldn\'t receive a heavy punishment from Patriarch Vincent Snow after \'finding out\' about Elizabeth\'s tracks very quickly. As to how he would be \'finding out\' about Elizabeth\'s tracks, it would be through \'coincidentally\' finding it when he volunteered to join the investigation group.
Lastly, Angel has also secretly informed Evangelion about her secretly leaving Silver Kingdom with Leo. At first, Evangelion, who was actually acting as Angel\'s Guardian after leaving Leucadia Noble Household, was really against her plan. But in the end, he could only helplessly agreed to it after she brought up the possibility that she won\'t grow to become powerful if she stays in Silver Kingdom once the agreed time with Emperor Yuta arrives. Of course, as Evangelion\'s rival and at the same time best friend, Clydesdale was informed about it as well, who, by using his trickster\'s brain, proposed the idea of joining the investigation group to secretly help them.
In turn, this coincidentally gave Leo more time to go to Will City, without him knowing anything about it.
While the investigation group stationed in White River City was being delayed as much as possible by Karl, Vismot, Evangelion, and Clydesdale, on the other hand, Leo was already halfway through in his way of going to Will City.
At this moment, because of Leo\'s assumption of a limited time, he was pushed to try the most fastest way he could ever think of; a car!
Indeed, the same technology as the Humans have used back on Earth, which was something he had only thought about a few hours ago.
The only difference, however, is the fact that the design and the way this so-called car function is extremely different from the car back on Earth.
Leo\'s car design looks almost identical to those of a carriage since he doesn\'t know the clear layout of a car which he had made using the combination of Nature Elemental and Earth Elemental, specifically majority for Earth Elementals as he needed more durability and minority for the Nature Elemental as its main purpose was only for comfortability.
The so-called car was shaped in a hexagon which is 10 meters long and has a height of 5 meters. It only has two seats, which is the driver\'s seat and a single passenger seat, really unlike those of carriages that can occupy 4 to 6 people inside and 1 to 2 people outside for the chauffeur and a guard or something. The reason for that is because the majority of the space of this car is where the magic all begins.
Behind the driver\'s seat and the passenger seat was a space for 10 Wind Elementals and 2 Water Elementals.
The Wind Elementals purpose was for them to use their wind to push the car at a maximum speed of 20 kilometers an hour, while on the other hand, the Water Elementals purpose was for them to use their water to push the car at a maximum speed of 60 kilometers an hour.
As to how they made it work? Well, at both sides of the car was something akin to a small windmill that was part of the Nature Elemental\'s body, and below the back of the car were two holes that the Earth Elemental has purposely made.
By making the 10 Wind Elementals supply a sufficient amount of wind power, it will make the windmill spin so fast which will be enough to push the car in front, specifically 5 Wind Elementals in each small windmill.
On the other hand, the two holes were where the 2 Water Elementals use water power, or specifically something akin to a water pump which is released through their hands, to push the car forward.
By combining the two means together, Leo\'s car was able to go at an expected speed of around 60 to 80 kilometers an hour.
Of course, because both the Wind Elementals and Water Elementals can\'t continuously supply enough wind power and water power through both the windmills and holes as they don\'t have an unlimited supply of both Wind Element Mana and Water Element Mana, Leo would need to focus on continuously gathering Mana from the surrounding to supply to the Wind Elementals and Water Elementals.
It was difficult at first, but as he continues to do it, it slowly became easier and easier for him, until eventually, he was able to split his focus by converting the gathered Mana into both the Wind Element Mana and Water Element Mana.
Anyways, although he was indeed focused on gathering Mana from the surrounding, there was no need to watch the road as both the Nature Elemental and Earth Elemental was acting as his eyes on the road. Not only in front, but the entire surrounding of the car.
"Since this is a race against time, then I need to use the fastest way possible to beat the time!" Leo said inwardly as his face was showing an excited look.
