Chapter 432: The Expected Ending
At this time, the Second Knight and current temporary commander of Gale Fortress, Ryder, also hurried over in a bustling rush. His attitude toward Li Wei and Old Tom was not very friendly, nor did he look very trusting.
"Agatha, are you certain that Your Excellency Tom was attacked last night? But I did not detect any abnormalities last night. Even when I was patrolling last night, I saw Tom sitting in place three times, and he conversed with me twice. This morning, he was still sitting there."
"Lord Ryder, this is the crux of the problem. Because I couldn't let the attacker see my true condition. To put it bluntly, if the attacker wanted to kill me, other than George, there is no one in the entire fortress who could protect me. Therefore, even though I was attacked, I didn't dare to Act Rashly. And it's precisely because of this that the attacker wouldn't take the risk—"
Before Tom's words were finished, a loud boom was heard; it seemed the Warehouse storing supplies had exploded!
Everyone's expression changed. That temporary commander Ryder couldn't care less about questioning Old Tom anymore and immediately rushed out. However, before he had walked a few steps, he turned back around again.
"Agatha, has the defense mechanism of the Magic Power Mine failed?"
"I don't know, Lord Ryder. This is already beyond the scope of my understanding. I am merely a Second-Tier Caster. I can only Follow the Prescribed Order according to my teacher's teachings. I have never slacked off, but I don't know—"
Agatha's face also turned completely pale.
If one were to say that Old Tom being attacked last night was due to the negligence of her and the Magic Power Mine she controlled, then at this very moment, the supply Warehouse being blown up was enough to illustrate the problem: a massive loophole had absolutely appeared in the Magic Power Mine's defense mechanism.
