When Ivan and his party arrived at Price City, it was already two days later.

The morning sun shrouded the solemn walls of the mountain castle like mist, and the almost deserted fields were still covered with unmelted snow. The heavily guarded lookout in front of the station, the soldiers in line, and a few guards in old-fashioned armor holding shields and swords, the shiny weapons are depressing. A red-haired woman in a long gray-and-white trench coat smiled politely and friendly at the few people who stepped off the train, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

What a surprise, that woman Ivan had seen it before!

"Good morning, Lord Selin!" Triss greeted the woman first, and she stood between the armoured guards, who seemed to be protecting her, but when she heard Trith's energetic voice, the woman waved her hand at the guards and greeted her.

"How many of you are...... Miss Tracey Carlisle, Mr. Darren Bryan, and ......"

The woman was about thirty years old, not very good-looking, but with a comfortable gentle temperament, compared to these young people, she seemed mature and steady, and despite the cold light of weapons all around, she looked calm. She smiled as she looked at Ivan, who was following Trith.

"Mr. Ivan Yafir, we meet again. ”

“...... Well. In the surprised eyes of everyone, Ivan could only nod awkwardly.

The last time they met was at the office of the Wizard Alliance in the outer city of Idgradhe, Ivan had been looking for another Inquisitor, Balran, but he happened to meet this Lord Selin, who he didn't know what to call him at the time. I didn't expect that it was just a brief photo, but it was remembered by Lord Selin.

"Ah, this...... This one is my assistant...... Can you bring an assistant?"

Seeing Selin move his gaze to Escher, Ivan hurriedly explained, Selin just smiled slightly, and then his expression became puzzled, "Is it just a few of you?"

Hey?

Why didn't Xiulin and Carlo get out of the car?

In the compartment of the train, Carlo stood upright behind the curtains. Through the curtains without tightening the gaps, every qiē outside was seen by him. The heavily guarded soldiers, the gentle and kind Serin, and the guards in armor.

The armor was well-maintained, with the eight-pointed star, the symbol of the goddess of light, and the symbol of the sword and flame, which symbolized the kingdom of Aura. Carlo knew that they were no ordinary guards, they were supposed to be by the side of the royal family, they were knights of the kingdom of Aura.

"You don't want to see Selin, do you?"

Xiulin, who has always been able to see through people's hearts, seemed to see a little wrong this time, and Carlo turned his head, his expression was like a lifeless ice sculpture, very stiff.

"Those things of yours ......," Xiulin crooked the corners of her mouth.

Carlo closed her lips and said nothing.

"Forget it, if there's anything inconvenient, just say it. You called me here, probably because you want me to help you deal with some people who are not easy to deal with. Xiulin smiled wryly, walked up to Carlo, raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder. Carlo turned his head and continued to stare out the window with a scrutinizing gaze.

Hearing that the people who didn't get out of the car were Showlyn Jean and Carlo Plante, Selin's face showed a thoughtful look.

"You guys must have been on the train for so long, it must be very hard, why don't you go to the hotel and rest first?" she quickly changed the subject, turned sideways, and made a gesture of invitation to the knights waiting behind her, "Please check the items on the car, Mr. Knights, these things are needed in the city." Ah, by the way, Mr. Warner, please take our executors to the nearest hotel later. ”

"His Majesty's order is for us to keep you safe, Lady Selin. A knight replied in a tone of non-questioning, and Selin laughed and waved his hand slightly, "I don't have to do it...... Well, that'......"

"It doesn't matter, we can find the hotel ourselves!" Triss hurriedly relieved the Inquisitor, "Why haven't those two come down yet?" she stood on tiptoe and looked towards the carriage, when Xiulin and Carlo finally appeared at the door of the carriage.

"Sorry for the delay in packing up. Xiulin smiled apologetically at Serin.

Serling, on the other hand, replied very naturally, "It doesn't matter." It's been a hard trip, so rest early. It seems that it is inconvenient for me to send someone to take you to the hotel, you two don't mind, right?"

"How can you mind?" said Xiulin, who smiled gracefully, and glanced back at Carlo. Carlo's expression was still gloomy, but Selin didn't seem to see him, and didn't ask a word.

Just as the men in the armor had finished checking the puppets and magic weapons in the train, and the group of six was about to say goodbye to Selin, Aisha turned around, hesitated slightly, and suddenly, she turned and ran towards Selin.

"Ah, that, Lord Selin, there's something I'd like to ask about......"

"What is it?" said Selin, who seemed not surprised at all, and with a soft smile on his face all the time, Aisha grew up to bold.

"Excuse me, has there ever been a magician named John Afil here?"

She looked up at Selin expectantly.

Ivan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately followed.

"John Yafel? I remember, Mr. Yafel's father. Selin raised his eyes and smiled softly at Ivan, "I'm sorry, I've been staying with King Vincent, and I haven't heard of any other magicians coming here." However, you can go to the city and ask around. Although there is no office in the city, the people of the Aura Kingdom, the emblem of the Magic Alliance, still know it. ”

"Wow, Ivan, your father is here too?"

Such a discordant shout was obviously made by Tris, who was about to leave, but when she heard that Ivan's father might also be here, she actually ran back in high spirits, "Hey, why didn't you sue me?"

"I, I don't know if he's coming......" Ivan subconsciously avoided Tracey's burning gaze, who knew that this moment, Trace's eyes were brighter.

"You don't know where your father went?"

Regardless of the fact that there were also knights and inquisitors of the kingdom of Ora, Triss exclaimed, her eyes wide open, "Hey, that's a great thing, Darren!" She ran back a few steps and elbowed her rather calm partner, "Why don't we go and inquire too?"

"No, Miss Carlisle should go and rest. ”

Hearing Trith's words, Essia spun on her heel and turned back sharply. She pursed her lips and put on a look of imposingness, "Miss Carlyle doesn't know Mr. John, so don't bother." Sister Xiulin, Carlo, let's go to the city to inquire first. ”

After saying that, she grabbed Ivan's sleeve without saying a word, and walked away without looking back.
