After the ceremony, Ivan followed the crowd out of the palace. At this time, the lord suddenly caught up with him and called out to him:

"Ivan, I want to discuss something with you."

"what happened?"

Ivan stopped and turned to look at the lord who was jogging towards him.

"Huh, that's it..."

The Lord stopped a few steps away from Ivan, took a breath and said to Ivan,

"Can you ask Eve to let Xiren go?"

"what?"

Ivan's red eyes were full of question marks - "Didn't this guy just say Xi Lun was in the lounge? Why did he suddenly say something... asking me to let Xi Lun go?"

Ivan really didn't know what the lord was talking about, so he could only scratch his head:

“Well, sir. Since you said something to let my sister release Xiren, it means you should know something.

"Or maybe Xilun did something to offend the Demon Tower, and since I worked for you before, you wanted me to open a backdoor...

"Can I understand that?"

Seeing that Ivan was unaware of this, the Lord took a deep breath:

"Even Ivan doesn't know... Then why is Xilun in the magic tower now? Atol has already taken the opportunity to send someone to bring Xilun back. If Xilun were to get hurt, wouldn't it be——"

Ivan still looked confused, and he couldn't help but continue the conversation:

"Wouldn't that be embarrassing for you?"

"Hmm..." The Lord was speechless after hearing this.

"So look, considering that I've known you for such a long time, why don't you show some mercy and release Xi Lun first to settle the conflict? Otherwise, I'm done for!"

Ivan half-opened his eyes and told the truth:

"(Muttering) Looking at the Duke's actions, I feel like he has caught Xi Lun's weakness. What did he do?"

He emphasized the word "again" very heavily - it was more than once.

Then, Ivan held his left elbow with his right hand, supported his chin with his left hand, and stared at the lord with a look of watching a play:

"It seems that Xi Lun has done some stupid things recently. The Duke thought it would be a good opportunity to destroy your family's prestige."

The Lord was sweating: "How can this guy guess everything?"

Ivan decided to follow the principle of role - I am Ivan, although I am not the chief, I am also a member of the Magic Tower.

"But how can I put it? I work for the Magic Tower first, and only then am I your subordinate.

"If Xilun was really taken to the Magic Tower as you said, then it is very likely that he has done something that endangers the Magic Tower personnel again...

"I haven't even settled accounts with you for the damage caused by releasing the monster last time. Now he's causing trouble again. Hasn't he learned his lesson?"

The lord was completely exhausted - because what his subordinates reported to him... seemed to be true.

"this and that..."

"Hmph," Ivan said, and his back straightened.

"Well, sir. As the chief, it is your duty to find out what he has done. I will explain it clearly on your behalf.

"No matter what the facts are, he definitely made the mistake first, which forced us to take coercive measures!"

Da da da...

Ivan put his hands in his pockets and turned away:

"Are you lying, or did he really make a mistake? I will investigate on the basis of ensuring his safety."

The Lord panicked: "Iven, Iven...!"

Ivan was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked away without looking back. When he walked out of the palace, he saw Scott using magic to control a magic carriage to pick him up.

"Ivan! So you are here,"

Scott, who had changed into casual clothes, opened the curtains and waved to Ivan who was standing outside the carriage. Then he opened the door skillfully.

"Come up, I think you must be tired - to be honest, the imperial city is really big, I have been looking for you for a long time."

Ivan looked up at Scott and smiled politely at him:

"You are unfamiliar with the place... Thank you for your hard work."

But he noticed something strange: it seemed that this carriage was not the one prepared before.

"Huh? This carriage doesn't seem to be the one that takes the regular road, does it?"

As Ivan said this, he boarded the carriage (from Scott's perspective, Ivan's legs were so long) and sat directly opposite Scott.

"Ah, yes."

Scott closed the door and the carriage slowly started to leave the imperial city.

After Ivan sat down, Scott unfolded the small table and quickly boiled some water. Then he took out some dried fruits from the bag beside him and put some on Ivan's plate:

"After I changed my clothes, I went to the parking spot I had set, but I didn't see the one I had prepared in advance. I had to contact the carriage house to send another one to pick us up."

Ivan poured hot water from the teapot and made a cup of sweet tea. After taking a sip, he asked:

"Where's the carriage? Is it lost?"

Scott shook his head:

"I asked the magician in charge, and he said that the carriage had no signal - it was very likely that something bad had happened. He told us to try our best to find it back, and if that doesn't work, we should activate the self-destruct sequence."

(After all, the magic carriage is very precious, and this technology cannot be stolen by others)

Ivan felt sorry when he heard this:

"I see... Fortunately we came here on horseback, so there were no casualties."

"That's a blessing," Scott agreed.

Ivan lowered his head to think for a moment, then continued:

"Anyway, we have free time from now on. Let's go take care of lunch first, and then take the regular route to see where the carriage has gone."

"Row."

Scott nodded and replied,

"It's a good thing that the car has no signal! Plus, Xi Lun is really absent this time--

I can't let this rotten brick affect my work and life in the south, so I have to embed it into the rotten wall with concrete!"

...

The two had a simple lunch. They went to a nearby market and bought two sandwiches, a large fruit salad, a bowl of spaghetti with meat sauce, and two bowls of lamb bones.

As time was tight, they packed the food and ate it in the carriage.

"Anyway, the carriage's shock absorption technology is very good."

While eating, Scott secretly removed the illusion so that Ivan could see the tragic scene ahead.

Sure enough, the carriage slowed down and stopped.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Scott asked knowingly.

"Maybe something happened ahead."

Ivan gestured to Scott, asking him to sit in the carriage. He then stood up lightly, opened the door and jumped out of the carriage to check the situation.

? !

Ivan stared at the tragic scene in front of the carriage with his eyes wide open:

The carriage that had been prepared was overturned on its side, with its windows and doors showing signs of being forcibly smashed, and even the driving end and the passenger compartment were split into two sections, scattered on the ground.

There were some footprints on the shed and wheels of the carriage that was destroyed by others, which looked like they were destroyed by the little Luo Luo.

All the plants around the carriage were crushed, and the ravaged plants seemed to be heading in one direction, indicating that it had slid down from the hill nearby.

"Gudong..."

Ivan swallowed and thought,

Fortunately, there was no one in the carriage. Otherwise, the people inside would have been killed...
