In the afternoon of the next day, Ivan arrived at the station in Greentown, and in the distance was a scenery that was both familiar and slightly unfamiliar. It seemed that he had been here not long ago, and he seemed to habitually look at the Taka Desert Mountain at the end of his vision, which was still lush and green, faintly yellow-green.

"Ah...... You, you're not here to pick me up, are you?"

At this point, Ivan caught a glimpse of someone perched like a sculpture on the station. The passengers who got off the train walked past the man with their luggage, not curious, as if it was really just a sculpture. Ivan was a little confused, and when he saw Xiulin's partner Carlo Plante, he felt overwhelmed for a while.

Carlo was very tall, his face was a little gloomy with a thin black trench coat, and his eyes were a very cold and hard dark blue color. Although Xiulin is missing, Carlo's face doesn't show much worry, but Carlo has always been expressionless.

"No, I'm inquiring about Xiulin's news. Carlo whispered, the unwavering voice clearly reaching Ivan's ears, "The station staff can't remember if Xiulin has been to this station, but according to the records, she didn't buy a ticket in Green City. ”

Isn't it all meant to pick him up by the way? What Carlo said was usually easy to understand. Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, Carlo was still the same Carlo as before.

"So, is there anything I need to do?" Since the other party is Carlo, there is no need to greet him, Ivan asked directly.

Carlo stared at him with a solemn expression for a few seconds. Ivan was a little nervous, he had long been accustomed to Carlo's scrutinizing gaze, perhaps because he had told Katie a lot of lies not long ago, and his heart was not very steady.

However, he couldn't tell the truth even to Carlo. Although I don't want to do it, Carlo him. I hate being deceived.

"Where have you been?" asked Carlo solemnly.

"On the other side of the desert, I thought, find Aisha. Ivan had already thought about this answer.

"Any reliable information?"

"Not yet, it seems that the demons didn't go to the desert. ”

Carlo frowned, half-squinted, staring at Ivan's face. At this crowded station. The atmosphere between the two was like an interrogation. Ivan paused for a moment and continued.

"I don't think the demons will give up so soon, maybe they're hiding in the desert, just like Rust ......" he couldn't help but take a deep breath, "After all, there's no news of them here, I think Aisha is very likely to ...... It's in the hands of demons. ”

Carlo remained silent, and the silence lasted for about a minute.

"It makes sense, but I don't agree with what you're doing. Also, the demons really didn't reappear. Carlo turned away. Walk towards the exit of the station. Ivan could almost clearly hear the pounding of his heart, and he calmed down for a moment and chased after him.

"I heard Katie say that Sister Xiulin has been missing for a month, what's the matter, where did she go?"

Carlo stopped and turned his head to look at him, now he could calmly meet Carlo's gaze, after all, this was what he really wanted to ask, and there was not the slightest lie.

"Let's go to the office first. Carlo didn't answer.

Greentown's Magic Alliance office is built in a very lively neighborhood. Seems to be located north of the central street, very close to the central street. The red bricks are a tall building with a bit of antiquity. There is a striking brass sign hanging on it.

Carlo didn't even greet the clerk who greeted him, and he walked straight to the small door on the side of the hall, and Ivan had to speed up his steps to keep up with him. Carlo stood still in front of the door and knocked respectfully, and Ivan couldn't help but change his face.

Well, long time no see. Ballan may not be as domineering as before......

"Come in. The voice from inside the door was surprisingly gentle, almost kind.

"Good work, Plante, Yafir. Sitting behind a curved desk in the room, Barran seemed much older. Although he still has a stern and rigid face. But the momentum that used to be completely aggressive has weakened a lot. Ivan noticed that he was not wearing the striking dark red windbreaker with gold trim as before, but was wearing a rather low-key black formal suit.

Remember that Barran was quite young, about thirty years old, but Ivan did not dare to assert his age at this moment. Ballan has a lot of papers in his hand that look like materials, and he still has a lot of them on his hand, so it shouldn't be all about Xiulin, right?

"Sit down. Ballan looked at Ivan for a moment, then frowned briefly, "I think the clerk should have explained it to you—Showlyn Joan, you have a good relationship with her, do you know where she went?"

It seemed that Ballan did not intend to interrogate Ivan about his previous whereabouts first, and Ivan thought for a moment and replied.

"I don't know, I've been around her lately. He tried to make his voice as polite as he could.

"She hadn't been back to Adrian for a month, and not only that, but she hadn't heard anything at all. Barran's brow furrowed again, "Do you know where Laxis Flotica is?"

"What?" Ivan was startled and looked at Ballan in a daze, and there was no smile in Balran's eyes, which narrowed his eyes slightly.

“...... I don't know. Ivan deliberately looked dazed, "All I know is that Lord Laxis is missing too." ”

"Yes, she's missing too. Ballan put down the information and crossed his fingers, resting his chin on his fingers, "Joan has disappeared in search of Laxis Flotica, and if you find Joan, you will undoubtedly know about Flotica...... The whereabouts of the adults. His gaze seemed to sharpen a little, "Lord Flotica values you, Yafir. ”

What do you mean? Barran, though he had some scruples about Laxis before, rarely called her "Master Flotica", after all, he was a subordinate of Bolenfuz. So whose henchmen is he now, and what is he looking for Laxis for?

"I know, Mistress Laxis has been nice to me, if I can find her......" Ivan paused for a moment. If, if he could ever see Laxis again, he would do whatever he wanted.

"Flotica has been to your hometown, the Messiah Island in the Yellin region, and you were there. Balran's tone began to grow a little impatient, "Didn't she give you any instructions?

"But I didn't see her at all, you already know everything that happened on Messiah'......s Island, right? None of the others knew where Master Laxises was, so I certainly wouldn't know. ”

Ivan almost uttered the name "Borenfuz". A chill gradually warmed up in his chest, and Ballan came to find Xiulin...... It's a little weird to say this kind of thing. It seems that yes, he has ulterior motives. (To be continued......)

PS: P.S. I'm really sorry, I haven't even had time to go to the hospital recently, and my mother is now hospitalized for a heart attack, so everyone believes that I can't give up. Thank you again for your understanding and support~
