Chapter 163 Death News
On the other hand, Archmage Agnes, who learned from Babbitt's attendant that Charlene Karl had 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 stuck it on her forehead, silently chanting complicated rune syllables, and immediately cast a prophecy.

But even the information brought by the six-ring prophecy is still a fog. She can only see some fragmented and blurred pictures and hear some distorted short sentences with unknown meanings.

This result shows that the assailant possesses at least mid-level magic equipment capable of shielding the six-ring prophecy.

"Babbitt's attendant, this mage is equipped with mid-level magic equipment that can shield divination. Under such circumstances, even I cannot see through the fog of fate.

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

Our Palace Master Association and the Master Guild call the information of 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 getting 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 Babbitt's attendant.

Because a magic theory has murderous intentions towards the younger generation, this kind of high-ring mage, in Agnes's view, is completely garbage among human beings, and she couldn't help but feel a bit of murderous intent in her expression.

At dusk on February 21st, when returning from get off work or school in the Xinglan Industrial Park to the North District Wharf, Old John and Hurley, who had not waited for a long time for Long or Zu who drove the carriage to pick them up, were full of doubts.

In the end, the two of them attributed the problem to Xia Lin's possible arrangement, and called them out, while the two of them walked to their home along Silverfish Avenue. However, after dinner at home, Carl, who had already laid the storefront There was a hasty knock on the door outside the cake shop.

The strange old John opened the store door and saw that it was Zu who usually lived in the laboratory in the West District. Seeing Old John, the sweaty Zu asked in Sassen language that he seemed to be speaking with his tongue out:

"Old master, did Long come to Carl's Cake Shop today?"

"No, he didn't come to pick me up and Hurley today, what's the matter? Zu?"

Seeing Zu's anxious look, Old John asked suspiciously.

"Old master, I heard that something bad happened on the streets of the central district today. The master asked Long to drive him to the east district in a carriage this morning, but Long has not returned yet!"

Zu, who was unfamiliar with Sasen, explained the news he got with a worried and anxious face, pointing fingers and drawing pictures.

"Bad things?"

For some reason, old John felt a little worried following Zu's words.At this moment, a somewhat familiar figure of Old John came from a distance from the wharf of Silverfish Avenue.

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

It wasn't until the figure was fully revealed under the light of the shimmering rune plate in Carl's Cake Shop that Old John recognized that he was Xia Lin's good friend Harper Cole.

When the Karl family had just moved out of the slums, old John and Harper worked together on the crude sugar production line made by Xia Lin, and they were quite familiar with each other.

However, since Xia Lin started magic research, Old John has rarely seen this classmate of his son. The last time he saw him was when Xia Lin celebrated his birthday.

"What's the matter, John? Who's knocking at the door so late?"

From the back hall of Carl's Cake Shop, other members of Carl's family came out. Lanny, Hurley, Anthony, and Bessie, who are all living in Xia Lin's room now, probably felt 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 answered briefly, then turned his gaze to Harper, who was wearing a black mage robe, and asked:

"Harper, it's so late today, what are you doing in the cake shop?"

"Uncle John, I..."

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

"Uncle John, there was an attack on the Central Street today. The attacker was a mage with four rings, and his target was your son Charlene Karl..."

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

"Please grief……"

Harper couldn't help lowering his head and dryly reassuring, this attitude already showed Xia Lin's state.

Hearing the ominous news, Lanny's face turned pale, and she almost fell to the ground in a trance. Fortunately, Anthony hugged her in time.

Bessie was also shocked, but Old John was silent.

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

Hurley's brown pupils were filled with tears, she shook her head in disbelief, and pulled Harper's robe forcefully, as if she felt a little hard to accept the sudden news.

"Hulley!"

Seeing his daughter like this, Old John stopped her even though his heart was also full of grief.

Hearing Old John's call, Hurley reluctantly let go of the hands that were holding Harper's clothes, turned around and ran to the back kitchen of Carl's Bakery with her head down. The figure disappeared over the stairs.

"Sigh... I have known for a long time that this child has done so many things, which will definitely bring him and even us some danger, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

Old John watched Hurley disappear on the stairs in silence, turned his head and tried to show 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, have you seen anywhere... the dead body of a tall Thain?"

As he spoke, Old John also choked up a little.

"Xia Lin died under the magic fireball of the third ring, there is no half of the wreckage to find, please mourn.

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

Please rest assured, Her Royal Highness will not let go of the murderer who killed Xia Lin!Those murderers attacked Xia Lin because of magic research, and they will not implicate you. "

Harper suppressed the guilt in his heart, and said in a low voice to Old John and Anthony who was looking sad.

"I understand, I will, Anthony, take your mother and Bessie back to rest! Zu, today you are also resting in the cake shop for the night."

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

"Harper, I won't entertain you today, but Xia Lin's funeral... Please come here!"

"I will."

Harper watched Old John staggeringly pick up the door panel on the side, and the sad-looking Sain slave installed the door of Carl's Cake Shop, as if he had aged more than ten years all of a sudden.

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

"Hey... Xia Lin, why don't you let me tell them the truth? It really makes people feel a little..."

Walking to the corner of the street, Harper couldn't help sighing, talking a bit confused and disturbed to a figure in a gray mage robe.

"Guilty, or self-blame, right? Harper, this is a necessary move. My father and the others are just ordinary people. If I tell them that I am still alive, then they will definitely not react as conservatives expected. By then When this fact is revealed, Her Royal Highness' plans will be affected.

Only in this way can they show their most natural state and let the conservatives confirm that Charlene Karl is dead. "

Xia Lin looked helplessly at the house still emitting the glow of the shimmering rune disk, and explained to Harper.

If possible, he didn't want to deceive his family, but who knows if the conservatives have arranged someone to watch his family's reaction, so in order not to expose the fact that he is still alive, Xia Lin can only ask Harper to replace him. cheat on family once.

The reason why they are asked to hold their own funeral as soon as possible is that Xia Lin is worried that the conservatives will disregard the most basic bottom line and attack their family members. If the conservatives confirm their death, I believe they will not take the risk of exposure to an ordinary family. start.
