Actually, it's not impulsive, is it?

As early as the beginning, a long time ago, when Xiulin begged Carlo to teach Ivan swordsmanship, Carlo knew it very well. After all, Carlo is not a person with a strong talent for magic, and after putting down the knight's sword and picking up the magic magic weapon, Carlo seems to have given up his past and the way he is good at fighting. He knew very well that as a magician, one day, he would not be able to compare to the true genius in front of him.

Ivan was stunned for a moment, forgetting what to do for a while, but soon he came to his senses. He didn't hide, but went straight to meet him.

Syllable.

It's not the sound of metal blades coming together. Disproportionate to the tiny cracking sound, there was a golden rain that spread across the sky. Ivan frowned, his right hand as if it had been whipped hard, and he couldn't help but retract in pain.

The surrounding bushes were ignited again, and the lightning cut deep cracks in the ground like a carving knife, and then all disappeared into the distance. The wind swept across the meadow, and Carlo let go of his hand and dropped the tarnished Scepter of Thunder.

In front of him, Ivan let the scattered golden light recondense into the shape of a one-handed sword, just as they had stood face to face in the same way.

I have known this for a long time.

What kind of opponent the other party is.

"More than three thousand magic. Carlo simply came to a conclusion.

"Hmm...... Well. Ivan nodded, his vision shaking, and he gasped hard. If Carlo's weapon hadn't been a magic weapon, and if they hadn't fought each other with pure magic in the end, Ivan would have had no chance of winning...... Right?

Why? Why did Carlo do this? It's no different from surrendering, right?

Ivan glanced down at the Thunder Scepter that had been thrown to the ground, and there were several fine cracks on the spherical golden magic crystal. Compared to Lightgill, the sword of illusion light, which is fully powerful, Carlo's magic magic weapon is so fragile.

There's no way Carlo doesn't know, that being the case. And why did he ......

Obviously, as long as the battle is delayed a little longer, Ivan's body will not be able to support it......

After being stunned for a while, Ivan put away the magic on Lightgill, raised his head, and smiled, or rather, he wanted to laugh.

"There's no way I'm going to kill you. No matter what you say. I haven't found Sister Xiulin yet...... Sister Xiulin, what she wants to see is the two of us......"

I don't know when, Christina took a few steps closer. Silently stood behind Ivan.

"I've always felt like you're not just an executor, you're not just a subordinate of Yatel Hernos, whatever you think...... You said you used to think of Rey as a friend...... You said I was like Rey......"

Christina suddenly covered her mouth. Let out a small exclamation.

"I think so. It's just my own thoughts...... Before, at that time, Rey probably also regarded you as a friend...... It's stubborn, but it's someone who can be considered a friend......"

Ivan paused again to catch his breath.

In fact, he himself didn't know what he was talking about, maybe he was still blindly avoiding it until the end, not wanting to bear the pain caused by the choice. Carlo's expression. Nothing has changed, like a hard stone carving. Probably the heart is as hard as a stone.

What lies ahead is a dead end...... It seems like you have a choice, but you don't have a choice.

"I think so now, you went to find Sister Xiulin because you were worried about Sister Xiulin, it's different from Ballan. Me too. We...... Let's go find Sister Xiulin first, okay?"

Carlo had no weapon left in his hand, but Ivan seemed to be begging him.

Why is this happening?

Somewhere in his heart, this dead brain that has been hostile to him from the beginning, is it ...... Are they really friends?

"I think you too. ”

As if a lifetime had passed, Carlo moved his lips and uttered a sentence of unknown meaning in his usual emotionless voice.

Then he stared into Ivan's eyes in abrupt silence.

- A man who can be considered a friend. ”

The wind suddenly stopped.

Christina took a deep breath and clasped her hands together as if she were praying, she could have escaped, but she couldn't move. Ivan looked at Carlo in astonishment, and Carlo went on earnestly, as if to make a report.

"I will keep my oath and will not hide it from the Lord, and I will report everything I know as it is. But right now, I haven't done what I set. ”

"Hey, you-" Christina was so angry that she almost turned her back on her.

Carlo turned to Christina and explained slowly.

"My mission is to investigate Xiulin's whereabouts. Villiers, Ballan thinks you have something to do with Xiulin's disappearance. ”

"W-what? Xiulin? Xiulin, Joan? I didn't even know she was missing, I ...... Am I involved in her disappearance?" Christina pointed at herself in surprise, "Wait, you're trying to say that you're arresting me because you suspect I'm related to the disappearance of Showlyn Joan, not because I'm an illegal magician?"

Carlo nodded solemnly.

"I'm not sure about that. ”

Christina stumbled backwards, nearly falling to the ground again.

"It's not my mission to apprehend the illegal magician, and the lord doesn't have any instructions on how to deal with the illegal magician, and I think I can act on my own judgment on this matter. Carlo said again.

"Well, that is to say......" Christina no longer knew what to say, "well, well, your brain is hard enough. So—" She turned and brushed her hair.

"McCann Ballan suspects me of having something to do with the disappearance of Joan Jean, so is there any basis for him?"

"Barran thinks you know Laxis Flotica. Carlo paused, "You mentioned Laxis Flotica to Yafil before. ”

"Oh, yes, you heard it all. Christina sighed and shrugged, "That's right, I did meet Flotica on New Year's Day. I've met Showlyn Joan, most recently, um...... It was when Messiah Island was invaded by demons. Plante, if I help you find Showlynn Joan, would you consider my request as well?"

"I'm not going to hide anything from that adult. Carlo quickly understood.

"Wait!" Seeing that Christina was about to get angry again, Ivan hurriedly stopped her. He looked back, and at this point, he also understood what Carlo meant, and Carlo's true principles.

"Then tell 'him' everything, anyway, 'he' already knows...... Finish. Ivan's eyes darkened. Yatel Hernos, he knows enough.

"But don't tell anyone else, okay?"

Xiulin also has the right to know. ”

"Good. What but them?"

Carlo looked at Christina in silence with a puzzled expression, and after several minutes, Christina tried to speak several times but finally held back.

Finally, Carlo nodded slowly at Christina.

"There is one thing I agree with. "Villiers wants to protect innocent people. (To be continued......)
