"This is the black tea I just made today, with mint leaves, it's very refreshing!" Katie soon returned, carrying a silver tray with a small teapot and a small teacup, and she poured a cup of black tea for Ivan and herself before sitting down.

"Ah, I forgot to take the milk and sugar cubes......"

"No need. Ivan hurriedly waved his hand, "I just returned to the Kingdom of Fatland when I heard that someone was looking for me, what happened?"

"Wait a minute, I'm thinking about where to start. Katie closed her eyes and fell into deep thought, "By the way, it's Lord McCann Ballan of the Judgment Temple who is looking for you, because Sister Xiulin is also missing. ”

"Wh-" Ivan shook his head and opened his mouth, unexpectedly...... I don't know where to start.

McCann Balran, Ivan had only met him a few times, but each one was impressive. Before Ivan became the executor, Barran suspected that Xiulin and Laxis had a plot, and later suspected Ivan. Most excessively, he also tried to get rid of Ivan through the mission of Takamo, just because he suspected that Ivan was a pawn arranged by Laxis. Remember that Barlan was a member of the inner council of Osborne Borenfoez, who had been working against Laxis, and now Borenfoz is no longer there. At this time, Barran came to him for ......

...... Xiulin?

Half-paid.

"Sister Xiulin...... Also missing?" Ivan couldn't help but hold his breath.

"Well, it's been a few days, maybe a month to be exact? about a month...... Sister Xiulin didn't tell me anything. Mr. Karlo Plante is also looking for Sister Xiulin, who seems to have brought Master Ballan. ”

This is incredible!

"That, Katie. Ivan forcibly suppressed the sudden upsurge of complicated feelings, "Can you make things clearer? Where did Sister Xiulin go a month ago? Also, did Ballan come to me so that I could go to Sister Xiulin?"

"Hmm. The ticket is recorded to go to the Kingdom of Frankland. Katie raised her head and looked at the ceiling intently, "However, because I didn't investigate after that, it doesn't matter if Sister Xiulin goes out alone, so I don't know if she's still in the Kingdom of Fatland." Mr. Plante and Master Ballan came to Adrian's office together. said that he wanted to investigate the whereabouts of Sister Xiulin, but I had already come back at that time, and I didn't know what was going on. ”

Carlo and Barlan ...... together Why do you think it's so weird? When Borenfuz was still around, he and Yatel had a temporary relationship, so Carlo sometimes acted with Balran. Ivan felt that his mind was starting to mess up, although Carlo was Xiulin's partner, he was also a loyal subordinate of Yatel, and never disobeyed Yatel's orders.

These two people investigated Sister Xiulin's whereabouts together, and they always felt that it was not that simple.

"Sister Xiulin didn't tell you anything before she left?"

"Didn't ...... before departure," Katie said slightly vaguely. "But Sister Xiulin asked about your news, and said that if I know where you went, I must sue her!"

"Ugh. Ivan looked away. Katie's gaze is aggressive. At that time, Ivan was traveling from the territory of the Kingdom of Falteran to the Rebello Desert. If that's the case,

Wrong.

"Did she leave a month ago?"

"Well, it should be that time. Katie nodded, "The station's record is on the Adrian side...... Susan said, "Well, I've had a bad memory lately, but that's right." ”

"Katie, you seem tired. Ivan couldn't help but say.

"-So. I'll be back on vacation. Katie naturally continued, "I'm worried about Lord Laxis. Before, I had never been so worried, but they all told me to leave it alone. Master Laxis is so powerful, how can anyone hurt her?"

Ivan froze. Katie was worried about Laxis, and she didn't seem to know about Laxis's death.

Laxis died in front of Asa, and the Wizards League wasn't sure about it, right? Did she think Laxis had disappeared in the war?

Those of the Caucus. At least it should be clear who took Laxis, right?

"Doesn't Ivan know? Master Laxis is missing on the battlefield! I can't even find her from the World Tree, I'm so worried!" Katie clasped her hands to her chest.

"I, I know. There was no way to tell her the truth, and Ivan's mind was buzzing. I really don't want to go on this topic.

"Then Ivan, do you know where Lord Laxis has gone, why, how can it be that even the World Tree can't find her?"

"No...... I don't know, anyway...... That, the disappearance of Sister Xiulin......" Ivan stiffly wanted to pull the topic back.

"Sister Xiulin—" Katie paused for a moment, then let out a sigh, "Why don't I ask where Adrian is going to be?" ”

"Wait, did Adrian City take the initiative to contact this side and say that they want to find me?" Ivan quickly thought of a new question, he did not deliberately hide his identity when he rushed to Arcatia City, the vehicle and the passengers on it were very conspicuous, and it stands to reason that his whereabouts would not be difficult for Xiulin to investigate.

"yes, yes. ”

Don't...... Xiulin and Carlo always trusted each other, Carlo would not lie, and he would keep his mouth shut about what he couldn't say. Xiulin didn't say anything to Katie before leaving, so she shouldn't hide what Carlo said, right?

"Are Carlo and Ballan still in Adrian City?"

"No, no......," Katie thought for a moment, "they're leaving for Greentown today, right? Greentown in the Kingdom of Fatland." ”

Of course, Ivan knew that this place in Green City was adjacent to the Webster Fortress in the Anglo region directly under the Wizard Alliance, and it was also close to the town of Takamo, where the wizarding guild used to be located, and to the north was the Graystone City of the Aura Kingdom. It seems that we can't go home first, where Xiulin went, and what the purpose of Carlo and Ballan is, these have to be figured out.

In addition to the Kingdom of Faldeland...... Asa's companion, Christina Martil Villiers, was in the kingdom of Phadrand, and Duke Lorraine had to inquire about it.

"Ivan, I think you better rest before you set off, otherwise, you will be like me, and you will not be able to remember many things clearly. ”

Katie propped up her cheeks and leaned forward, giving a rare look of great sister-like reliability.

Katie was indeed older than him, and Ivan always forgot about that, and he nodded wryly.

"Then it's settled! Go to my hotel and rest, and then, you haven't eaten my fish cutlet for a long time, and then go to Greentown when you're full!"

Is there a hotel with a lot of cats......

Gradually, recalling the warm past, the tiredness is getting stronger, so let's do as Katie says, after all, I am already mentally prepared.

Besides, it is a very gratifying thing to see the familiar Katie safe and sound. (To be continued......)
