The southern border of the Kingdom of Madland, the city of Thorns.

If the Kingdom of Fadreland is a delicate and elegant painting, the City of Thorns is like a rough stone pressed against the edge of the scroll, and the gray-black square buildings are doubly oppressive. Now Thorn City has a lot of soldiers, and the tension is stronger than ever, as if guarding against enemies from the desert.

Isn't it on the lookout for nomads? Queira in the Rebelo Desert doesn't like to get into trouble. Ivan looked at the long motorcade waiting to be inspected in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He didn't want his fellow businessmen to see his worried look, so he got out of the car.

It's already dusk, and it seems that you won't be able to enter the city until it's dark. Ivan touched the metal badge in his pocket, and the cold metal felt exceptionally clear. Is there really no problem? Did Yatel Hernos really say nothing to the Core Council?

It is said that the World Tree can find Ivan's whereabouts through the guò badge. Ivan could now read the runes that were faintly floating on the badge, and Asa had told him a lot about the badge, and he probably understood how the World Tree could grasp all the messages of the Magus through the guò badge. However, Ivan is only an executor after all, and if no one makes relevant requests, the World Tree will not look for him.

Nearly a month has passed since Romesa's return, and there has been no news from the Wizards Alliance, the most recent of which was brought to the little witch Sylvia Milton by the merchants of the Augustan Chamber of Commerce. The merchants did not know Sylvia's identity, only that she was a distinguished guest of the Chamber of Commerce, and that someone had paid a large amount of money to provide her with information. Since it was a request from a distinguished guest, the remuneration was also very cost-effective, and the merchants did not mind bringing one more person back, let alone this person. How to say...... He can also be regarded as a celebrity in the Palan Continent.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Yafir!" a middle-aged merchant hurried from the direction of the city gate, "they, they said—"

Ivan's face sank. There is no need to listen to what they say, because the soldiers of the Kingdom of Fadrand have already followed.

"You are Mr. Ivan Yafir, the executor of the Wizarding Alliance?" the soldier stood and saluted. Ivan hesitated slightly, took out the badge and handed it to him. The soldier was momentarily surprised, but not terribly surprised, as if he had expected it.

"There's an adult from the Wizard Alliance looking for you, so please go to the Wizard Alliance Office in Sapphire Town immediately. ”

"Oh......" Ivan nodded stiffly, "Well, excuse me, which one is it?"

"I don't know who the adult is. The soldier replied.

Not Artel Hernos, Ivan thought. Artel didn't have to go to great lengths to find him, how much more so what did Artel do with him, and was he going to use him against Asa? In the first place, Artel gave Sloth's magic core to Ivan, probably not just to rescue Laxis, right? The trouble is that people outside the Wizard Alliance sometimes refer to ordinary magicians as "Lord", so he really can't tell who that "Lord" is.

"Okay, can you help me prepare the carriage? I'll leave now. Ivan said calmly.

If you look like you want to escape, you are more likely to be suspicious, so it's better to know that person's identity as soon as possible. Although it was in a hurry, I hurried all the way. He and the merchants were already very tired, but it was difficult to rest with a heart hanging in their hearts. Who could it be? Someone related to Yatel Hernos? What is Yatel doing now?

When I arrived at Sapphire Town, it was already the morning of the second day.

The town of Sapphire has always been known for its beautiful scenery. Even in early autumn, the flowers are still blooming, but this is not the time to see the scenery, so Ivan got out of the carriage and went straight to the office. Ivan had been staying in Sapphire for a day when Katie Maggie, the clerk of the Wizards League office in Adrian City, invited him to play, of course. His assistant Aisha was also invited.

At that time, Xiulin, Carlo, and Na'er all came......

Katie's hotel seems to be not far from the office.

"Ah, Ivan!"

The sudden exclamation startled Ivan. In front of him, he was wearing a clerk's white uniform, a fluffy violet ponytail, and oval glasses...... Miss Katie Maggie?

Before she could react, Katie rushed up and grabbed Ivan's hand.

"Why did you get dirty? Where have you been? Sister Xiulin is looking for you in a hurry—"

"Uh, it's Sister Xiulin?"

It turned out that the person who was looking for him was Xiulin, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a little more guilt in his heart. More than a month ago, he ran out of the small building where Xiulin lived regardless of the situation, and said very excessive things to Xiulin at that time, Xiulin must be very sad. It's so irrational, because Isha is gone, and he's become so childish.

"Hey, what's what? I'm going to tell you about Sister Xiulin!" Katie snapped up a finger. Then again, Katie seems to have lost weight, is it wrong?

By the way, Katie should be in Adrian City, although her family lives in Sapphire Town, but she obviously works in Adrian City.

"Where to start? Really, I don't remember exactly. Katie pursed her lips in annoyance. Katie is a clerk who is sometimes unreliable, and sometimes she is quite powerful.

If it weren't for Katie, maybe Ivan wouldn't have been in contact with Morinshi at all, and he wouldn't have run away, and he wouldn't have gone to the Yu Clan's continent with Freya to ask for help, and there wouldn't have been all kinds of encounters later......

The mysterious woman who gave the mirror to Katie that Ruster had left behind, Ivan had already thought about it, probably Caterina Selin, a former Inquisitor of the Alliance of Magisters, and the most trusted friend of the deceased Holy Magister Laxis Flotica.

What was Serin's situation at this time, Ivan also wanted to know.

"Katie, why don't you pour black tea?" an older female clerk with her hair and braids seemed to be joking with Katie, "Well, I'm sorry, but Katie just came over today, and she was on vacation." ”

"Oh yes, I'm on vacation. Ivan, do you want to drink some black tea first?" Before Ivan could answer Katie turned and walked away, Ivan was stunned for a moment, walked to the table next to him and sat down.

Katie was still the same as before, but something seemed to have changed unconsciously, maybe there was a sense of loss in her eyes behind the oval glasses.

Katie's biggest admirer is Laxis Flotica, right?

Laxis is dead. Originally, these brutal battles had nothing to do with Katie, but someone gave her the magic mirror that the third demon general Rust had used to communicate with the treasure witch Maureenshi, and told her to pass it on to Ivan.

Did Katie already understand anything in the time since? (To be continued......
