The Moon Thief

Chapter 29: Unexpected Counterattack

"I'll let my father know." Hulan stood up and looked at his brother. "Hanberd, please take care of our guests while I'm away."

"There's something I want to ask. Could an Ainsar serving your family have gone to any tavern recently?" Heinald looked at Hanberd.

"I'll inquire." Hanberd nodded.

Hours passed quickly, while Hulan had contacted his father, while Hanberd had interrogated everyone in the family and learned that a few days ago there were two attendants who had spent time in a tavern called Rilenbub.

Heinald had written the Rilenbub Tavern in the back of his mind, and he was going to be there sometime.

Ranton left after a while, and Heinald remained there, awaiting the raid time with the Estrus Family, and all family members were warned to be ready.

By the night time of the next day, Heinald's tension was getting worse. The Bloody Teeth organization might have noticed the innkeeper disappearing.If so, they wouldn't have raided.

When Heinald found some free time, he pulled the Sin Stone from the pocket of his robe.Of course, he had made sure that no one was around.

"When there is a raid, will all the chiefs participate in the raid?" Heinald asked.

"No. If they find it too dangerous, they might not participate." The innkeeper's voice echoed in his mind, and he quickly sent the Sin Stone back into the pocket of his robe.

Security around the mansion was kept at the same level so that it would not attract attention from the outside.However, many Level 1 Ainsar and Apprentice Ainsar were waiting in the main hall.

"Mr. Heinald, are you sure you want to fight if the raid happens. After all, this raid is our concern." Hulan asked.

"Yes, I'm sure. If there are survivors of the raiders, I'll question them. I've been trying to gather information about this organization for a long time. Maybe tonight I can get important information." Heinald answered.

"Do you think their leaders will emerge?" Hanberd asked.

"His servants often do the robberies, he just plots robberies." Heinald's expression darkened. Hamra wasn't really giving the slightest hint of himself.

* Ruuaaaa! * * Bom! * Suddenly, roaring and explosion sounds appeared all around the mansion.

"Raid!"

"They really came!" Hanberd shouted.

Everyone in the main hall suddenly started going out, and Heinald was among them.

"Protect the warehouse area!" Hulan shouted.

When Heinald headed towards the warehouse area, he felt there energy waves of fifteen Level 1 Ainsar and thirty Apprentice Ainsar. There were also five tigers and they were equal Level 1 Ainsar power, as evidenced by the energy they radiated. They were almost 3 meters tall and their eyes were ice blue.

"They're too many!" When Heinald looked around, he immediately thought about this. They had a lot of Level 1 Ainsar and they had five Magical Beasts.

He quickly cast his spell called Whisper of the Wind, and when his body was surrounded by winds, he began to glide forward.

The garden of the mansion was like a battlefield. Fireballs gliding through the air broke the night, screaming and explosion sounds all around.Heinald quickly plunged into several raiders and cast his spell called Frost Wave, suddenly freezing three Level 1 Ainsars around the freezing wave that spread from his body.He immediately waved his hand and his sword appeared in his hand.

He quickly stabbed his sword in the frozen Ainsars before him.

"Anger of the Heavens!" Heinald heard a loud yell from his side, and when he turned in the direction the voice came from, he saw it was Hulan.

He held up both hands, and suddenly circles began to appear over the Ainsars opposite, but these circles were quite large, not like magic pentagrams, and did not carry any runes or seals.

* BOOM! * Lightning strikes in succession from the circles. It was as if the sky and the earth were splitting and the world was disappearing. The whole place was trembling and strong winds were blowing around.

"This ...!" Heinald's eyes widened. This aura was the aura of Level 2 Ainsar!

Hulan actually was a Level 2 Ainsar!

"Retreat!" The chiefs of the raiders began to shout, this time they were caught unprepared, so they had suffered a great loss in a very short time. Their chiefs realized that the situation was not good and they ordered to retreat. Moreover, in a few minutes this place would be full of city guards.

"Young Master Hulan!" The Ainsars on the side of the Estrus Family began cheering enthusiastically, and they seemed not to know that he was a Level 2 Ainsar.

"Brother!" There was a great surprise in Hanberd's face."

Young Master Hulan, shall we chase them?" One of the Ainsars asked.

"No! Take care of the wounded right away, the guards will be here soon anyway." Hulan looked around for a while and shook his head.

Most of the dead and wounded around belonged to the raiders. Heinald immediately searched over them but found nothing. Even if he verbally questioned them, he probably wouldn't have learned anything, and he wouldn't create the Spirit Imprisonment Formation here either.

"I forgot that the City Guards would be involved. Without the City Guard, I might have imprisoned and questioned their spirits, but..." Heinald sighed.

City guards arrived a few minutes later.

"What happened here?" A calm voice echoed around. A beautiful woman in a green robe stepped forward from among the City Guards. She had golden hair and brown eyes, almost as strong as mid phase Level 2 Ainsar.

Everyone around greeted the woman by bowing their heads.

"Lady Yetenna!" Hulan gave a nod slightly and greeted the woman in front of him gently.

"Mr. Hulan!" Lady Yetenna responded, slightly bowing her head.

"Unfortunately we have been raided." Hulan pointed around.

"Raid?" Lady Yetenna's graceful brows frowned.

"Yes, by the organization called Bloody Teeth." Hulan nodded.

"Ah..what a headache ..." Lady Yetenna sighed, she looked around, "I guess Lord Aenri is not here."

"He was on a journey. But I informed him, he will be here soon." Hulan looked at Heinald and signaled for him to approach.

"Lady Yetenna, this young friend's name is Heinald. Actually, we were prepared for this raid and it was made possible by him."

"My lady ..." Heinald bowed.

"Then I will ask you to tell me in detail how you became aware of this raid." Lady Yetenna glanced at him.

"Of course." Heinald nodded.

The guards arrested the survivors of the raiders and took them to the city center for interrogation. Hulan and Heinald also traveled to the city center with Lady Yetenna. In fact, Heinald was quite uncomfortable with this. His name came to the fore too much, and if he had done this job in the background, it would have been a much better result for him. When they arrived in the city center, they stopped in front of a huge building, a circle in shape and ten floors, each floor was embroidered and surrounded by large columns, at the top of the building was a large statue with its hands raised to the sky.

This was the headquarters of the City Guard. Although the Ainsars were free to fight and kill each other, it was forbidden to do so in the city. This was the guards' duty to keep the city safe, but the big fish, small fish rule still applied.

If a great and powerful family raided a small family's residence and attacked them and seized their resources, the City Guard would not seek justice for the small family.

Of course, if they get a share.

"Mr. Hulan, let's talk to you first. Tell me in detail what happened." Lady Yetenna glanced at Hulan.

"Of course." Hulan nodded.

Lady Yatenna and Hulan went to the interrogation office. Heinald was waiting in a large hallway, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and in the following days he had to stay out of sight and walk around in disguise.He was very prominent and it was obvious that the organization would not let him go for a while.

He was summoned minutes later to Lady Yetenna's office.

"Mr. Heinald, I have listened in detail about how things unfolded. There is a question I want to ask you, how did you learn such detailed information?" Lady Yetenna looked directly into his eyes.

Heinald was silent for a while, thinking how to answer, and finally made the decision to tell the truth.

"I attacked the innkeeper when he left the city and neutralized him. Then I imprisoned and questioned his soul." Heinald had a solemn expression on his face.

"Have you imprisoned his soul?" The lady's thin brows frowned.

Heinald nodded.

"May I ask how you did this?"

"My grandfather was an Ainsar who spent his life researching spirits. So I know a lot about spirits. I also know a Spirit Imprisonment Formation." Heinald lied.

"I understand ..." Lady Yetenna lightly nodded.

"My lady, please don't tell anyone about it..." Heinald smiled bitterly.

"Of course."

"There is something I want to ask with your permission." Heinald scratched his chin.

"Please, ask." Lady Yetenna made a gentle gesture.

"Can you get accurate information from the raiders?" Heinald asked.

"We can. We have some effective methods." Lady Yetenna replied after a slight laugh.

"I am doing research on this organization. Could you please share this information with me?" Heinald exhaled.

"Sorry, this is against privacy." Lady Yetenna shook her head.

"Oh ... Alright." Heinald's expression was darkened. This woman could get information from him, but he could not get information from her.
