On the other side, Archmage Agnes, who learned from the head of Babbitt's chamberlain that Charlem Karl had actually died at the hands of a mage, was also furious.

With a cold expression, she took out a magic crystal from her sleeve pocket and put it on her forehead, silently reciting intricate rune syllables in her mouth, and immediately cast a prophetic spell.

But even the information brought by the Six Rings Prophecy was a fog, and she could only see some fragmented pictures of the mold lake and hear some distorted phrases of unknown meaning.

This result shows that this attacker has at least medium-level magic equipment on his body that can shield the Six Rings Prophecy.

"Squire Babbitt, this mage carries mid-level magical equipment that can shield prophecy, and in this case, even I can't see through the fog of fate.

But don't worry, there are traces of existence like this in most of the empire.

We, the Court Archmage Guild and the Mage Guild, have called on the information of all the High Ring Mages, unless this High Ring Mage has never been active in the Empire, he will definitely be found by us and meet our wrath!"

After receiving this unexpected result, Archmage Agnes, who felt more and more that something was wrong, put down the magic crystal with an ugly face, and said solemnly to the chief attendant of Babbitt.

Because of a magic theory, he had a murderous intention towards his juniors, and this kind of high-ring mage was completely garbage among human beings in Agnes's eyes, and she couldn't help but have a little murderous intent in her expression.

At dusk on February 21, John and Hurley, who had not been able to wait for Long or Zu, who had been driving the carriage, had come to pick them up after returning to the North District Pier from work or school in the Xinglan Industrial Park, and their hearts were full of doubts.

In the end, the two of them still attributed the problem to what Xia Lin might have arranged, and called them out, while the two of them walked along Silverfish Avenue to their house, but after arriving home for dinner, there was a rapid knock on the door outside Carl's cake shop, which had been laid out on the shop panel.

When the strange old John opened the door of the store, it was Zu, who usually lived in the laboratory in the West End, and when he saw Old John, the sweaty Zu asked in Sassen that he seemed to be speaking with a big tongue:

"Old master, has Long arrived at Carl's Cake Shop today?"

"No, he didn't come to pick me up or Hurley today, what the hell is wrong? Ancestor?"

Old John looked at Zu's anxious appearance and asked suspiciously.

"Old master, I heard that something bad seems to have happened on the streets of the Central District today, and the master asked Long to drive him to the East District in a carriage this morning, but Long has not come back at this time!"

The half-baked Zu of Sassen was worried and anxious as he explained the news he had received.

"Something bad?"

For some reason, Old John also felt a little worried in his heart along with Zu's words. At this moment, a somewhat familiar figure of old John walked from the direction of the pier on Silverfish Avenue in the distance.

Seeing the two people at the door of the store, the figure suddenly stopped, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he quickened his pace and walked towards Carl's Cake Shop.

It wasn't until the figure was fully revealed in the light of the Shimmer Rune Plate in Carl's Cake Shop that Old John recognized him as Harper Cole, Charlin's friend.

In the past, when the Carl family had just moved out of the slums, John Sr. and Harper had teamed up to tinker with the rudimentary sugar production line made by Xia Lin, and they were quite familiar with each other.

However, since Charlen began his magical studies, Old John had rarely seen his son's classmate, and the last time he saw him was during Charlene's birthday.

"What's wrong? John? Who is knocking on the door so late?"

Out of the back hall of Carl's cake shop came the rest of Carl's family, Lannie, Hurley, Anthony, and Bessie, who now lived in Charlene's room, probably because everyone was a little worried when they saw that Old John hadn't come back for so long.

"It's okay, it's Zu and Harper!"

Old John replied slightly, then looked at Harper, who was dressed in black mage robes, and asked:

"Harper, it's so late today, you're coming to the cake shop

What for?"

"Uncle John, I'm ......"

Harper hesitated for a moment, and finally said with some difficulty:

"Uncle John, there was an attack on the streets of the Central District today, the attacker was a mage of the Fourth Ring, and his target was your son Charleen Carr......

"What did you say? And what happened to Xia Lin?"

"Please mourn ......"

Harper couldn't help but bow his head and dryly reassure, this attitude has already indicated Xia Lin's state.

Hearing this ominous news, Lannie on the side turned pale and almost fell to the ground in a trance, but fortunately Anthony hugged her in time.

Bessie's face was also full of shock, but Old John was silent.

"No! That's impossible! We obviously gave my brother that expensive mage robe, how could he die! He promised to go with us to the New Year's celebration!"

Hurley's brown twin boys were well-watered with tears and shook her head in disbelief, tugging at Harper's robe, as if feeling a little uncomfortable with the sudden news.

"Hurley!"

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Old John, although his heart was also full of grief, still spoke out to stop it.

Hearing Old John's call, Hurley reluctantly let go of her hands gripping the hem of Harper's clothes, turned around and ran towards the back kitchen of Carl's cake shop with her head down, and her figure disappeared on the stairs with a sound of "ooh" footsteps.

"Ugh...... I knew that this kid had done so much and that it would definitely be a danger to him and even to us, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly."

Old John watched in silence as Hurley's figure disappeared down the stairs, turned around and barely showed an ugly smile, and patted Harper on the shoulder:

"Thank you for bringing this news to our family, Harper, where is Xia Lin now, and where did you see it...... See the corpse of a tall Sain?"

As he spoke, Old John choked up a little.

"Xia Lin died under the spell fireball technique of the Three Rings, and there is no wreckage to find, please mourn.

As for the tall Sain named Long, he also died in this attack, Uncle John, people cannot be resurrected from the dead, please prepare for Xia Lin's funeral as soon as possible!

Please rest assured, Her Royal Highness will not let go of Xia Lin's murderer! Their murderers did it to Xia Lin because of something about magical research, and they won't implicate you."

Harper held back the guilt in his heart, and said in a low voice to Old John and Anthony, who had a sad face on the side.

"I see, I will, Anthony, take your mother and Bessie back to rest! Zu, you also have a night of rest in the cake shop today."

Quietly brushing away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Old John arranged things in an orderly manner, and looked back at Harper:

"Harper, I'm not entertaining you today, but Charlin's funeral ...... Please come to the funeral!"

"I will."

Harper watched as Old John hobbled up the door panel and set up the door of Carl's cake shop with the sad-looking Sainse slave as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years.

It wasn't until the last glimmer of light in Carl's cake shop was blocked by the door panel that he pulled down the hood of his mage robe and walked heavily towards a street corner.

"Ugh...... Xia Lin, why don't you let me tell them the truth? It's a bit ...... to deceive Uncle John like this."

Walking around the corner, Harper sighed and spoke with some confusion and uneasiness at a figure in a gray mage's robe.

"Is it right to feel guilty, or to blame yourself? Harper, this is a necessary move, my father is just an ordinary person, if they were told that I am still alive, then they will certainly not react as conservatives expected, and when this fact is revealed, Her Royal Highness's plans will be affected.

This is the only way to make them appear in their most natural state, so that conservatives can confirm that Charlem Carr is dead."

Xia Lin looked at the house that still emitted the glow of the shimmering rune disk with some helplessness, and explained to Harper.

If possible, he didn't want to deceive his family, but who knows if the conservatives had arranged for someone to pay attention to their family's reaction, so in order to prevent the fact that he was still alive from being exposed, Xia Lin could only let Harper deceive his family once.

The reason why they were asked to hold their own funerals as soon as possible was that Xia Lin was worried that the conservatives would ignore the most basic bottom line and attack their own families, and if the conservatives confirmed their death, I believe they would not risk exposure to an ordinary family.
