After Li Ang fell into a coma, the most urgent and troublesome task was actually the aftermath work.
Whether it was the Platinum King publicly killing all the other leaders of the Flashing Field and conspiring with the Bailong Sect to sacrifice everyone who came to support the Flowing Silver Combat Skill and the Platinum Racing, or the subsequent attack of the Crimson Demon, the Flam Demon Dragon and Dragon God Statue summoned by Farina, and finally the appearance of Bahamut—all these were shocking events.
Even in a place like the Holy City, where only truths of ancient civilization, Transcendent Demon Beast, Magical Disasters, and decisions affecting the world made by the Guild could be considered coffee table talk, these events were front-page news.
Due to Li Ang losing consciousness, only Mort and Farina had the experience to handle matters of this level, so at first, they cooperated with Guild officers to manage everything.
This major event involved many people, besides those who acted decisively and escaped the island immediately after the sacrificial array was dismantled, there were those seeking explanations afterwards and those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos for their own unseemly purposes.
Since they were participants in the battle, almost all the audience in the Dueling Arena had witnessed the Demon Dragon summoned by the Dragon Witch, and many even believed that the final appearance of Bahamut was also her doing, so Farina's words were very convincing.
Once she appeared, most people quieted down to listen to her speak.
In the eyes of others, the entire battle seemed to be resolved by Farina; very few people realized the crucial role of Li Ang's Support Magic.
As for Zoe and the mysterious Ivynis, they exceeded the comprehension of ordinary people, and no one thought the Giant Dragon was summoned by them.
On the surface, this incident was defined as "cultists collaborating with local rulers to harm civilians, unintentionally triggering a Magical Disaster".
However, the Guild was well aware that such a large event, with numerous witnesses, and the "Crimson Demon" being well-known from children's stories, with its alien Demon God appearance, was bound to lead to conjectures in that direction.
Moreover, those who enjoyed stirring things up would embellish these conjectures, and since the people who left the island couldn't be stopped, the matter couldn't be covered up.
How to specifically handle this was also about to be discussed by the Knight Resolution Council.
The chaotic scene only stabilized after the arrival of the Order Flame Corps' captain, Elaphia, and the Order Sandstorm Corps' captain, Saten.
After settling Li Ang, the young girls of the Star Flower Travel Corps also joined the Guild officers' commission to maintain city order and prevent the disorderly city from descending into chaos.
"Initially, we thought we might have to fight the Sandbone Group." ALulu said.
Dorothy rubbed her temples, seemingly unwilling to recall how exhausting it was: "The main trouble wasn't the citizens, though the sandland merchants are unruly, most ordinary people just want to protect themselves, only a few engaged in petty theft."
"The Sand Beast Gang also protected the neighborhoods." Andasu said.
The real troublemakers were the underlings of various leaders, who were former Slave Masters themselves and certainly not gentlemen. With their bosses gone, some aimed to flee with loot, while others wanted to murder for personal vendettas. The young girls and other Adventurers employed by the Guild took action, and these individuals were also purged.
"You really had it tough." Li Ang sighed.
The very thought of such chaos gave him a headache.
Before crossing over, he generally disliked crowded situations, and if he encountered too many NPCs clustered in a game, he might even consider "de-urbanizing".
"Yeah, you owe me a good reward." Dorothy quickly said.
"Why are you only mentioning yourself when everyone was busy?" Zoe immediately noticed the issue.
"What does all this have to do with the Platinum King's Treasure Vault?" Li Ang interrupted them before they started bickering.
"We have to tell you this so you know what happened there."
Dorothy said: "Didn't you notice we didn't mention the Sandbone Group and the Platinum King's subordinates?"
"Let me guess," Li Ang said, "The Sandbone Group went to take over the Platinum Hall, and then they encountered something?"
"Spot on, if I hadn't been sleeping next to you almost all the time, I would've thought you were pretending to be comatose." Dorothy said.
"Wait, what have you been doing all the time?" Li Ang asked.
"She deceived us by saying she knew the Healing Art and then refused to leave." Zoe said discontentedly.
"Luckily, I approached the owner when she went to the bathroom." Andasu had a slight sense of achievement on her face.
"You're a big problem too!" Zoe shouted.
"Alright, it's not that hard to guess." Li Ang said.
"Blood Eagle said before that he accepted the job for a treasure the Platinum King promised him, but the Platinum King forced him to participate in the Combat Competition, and he didn't win the championship, and that thing wasn't even in the championship prize, so he looked like he was going to seize it directly.
"Not encountering the Sandbone Group could only mean they met with an accident."
After Li Ang finished speaking, he asked, "How is the Platinum King's Treasure Vault?"
Zoe said: "We thought about what you said. After the city calmed down, sister Farina took us to that palace, and then we saw..."
The young girl's words trailed off, and she frowned, as if she was reluctant to recall the scene at that time.
"It was very bloody." Farina sighed: "From the magic residue there, it seems a Demon slaughtered them."
"Demon?"
