"Carey!"

On the way to Robert's manor, Carl called his friend:

"Aren't you resting at home?"

Since his fiancée could not be found, she was most likely killed, so Dinette approved him a few days off to rest.

The fact that he was able to approve leave at this time shows the attitude of the superior towards his subordinates.

"Rest?"

Carey turned around, his face full of fatigue, bloodshot eyes, and he seemed to have aged ten years in a short period of time.

He shook his head gently:

"As long as I close my eyes, I can see Maggie. Maybe I can find clues about her in Robert's manor."

"At worst..."

"I can also avenge her!"

He has no hope of rescuing his fiancée, and his voice is full of hatred for Robert.

He may not care about searching others, but Carey must come to find the real culprit behind the disappearance.

"Alas!"

Carl sighed and advised:

"My condolences."

"What about you?" Kerry asked casually:

"You never cared about this kind of thing before, why did you take the initiative to apply to come out today?"

"Ha..." A colleague laughed when he heard this:

"This is Robert. Everyone in the city knows how rich he is. If we find something good, it can be equivalent to several months of our salary."

"Who doesn't want to do this?"

As long as it is not too excessive, the executive officer will usually acquiesce to gain some benefits from the search.

And Robert's wealth is known to everyone.

Carl smiled but said nothing.

He did want to take the opportunity to get some things from Robert's manor, but not for money.

"Huh?"

"There are people!"

The manor in front is the destination, but there are several city guards standing at the door of the manor.

Dina stepped forward.

"Stop!"

A soldier holding a spear stopped everyone:

"Sorry, this manor has been sealed off by the city guards. You should go to another place."

"Seal off?" Dina's face was gloomy:

"When did the city guards take charge of sealing off other people's manors?"

"Yes!"

"This is the business of our patrol office. At the very least, there are police officers. You should be guarding the city gate."

"..."

The people in the patrol office shouted.

They came all the way here just to get some benefits. Now that their destination has been forcibly occupied by someone, how could they not be angry?

"Now is a special situation. The whole city is under martial law. To prevent accidents, we have been ordered to come here to guard."

The soldier did not give in:

"Sorry, everyone!"

He obviously got instructions from his superiors. Even when facing the people in the patrol office, he did not give in.

You know.

Most of those who can work in the patrol office are from powerful families. They will never offend without sufficient benefits.

"How dare you!"

"How dare you!"

"I'm going in, who dares to stop me?"

Seeing that the fat meat in front of their mouths was taken by others, everyone didn't care about their manners and pushed forward.

"What are you doing?"

A majestic voice sounded, and a sturdy figure walked out of the manor, frowning and looking at everyone:

"What are you going to do?"

Faced with the questioning of the person who came, a group of people paused and looked evasive.

"Roland!"

"The one from the Steven family..."

"Why is he here?"

Everyone whispered, and Carl couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

The person who came was the eldest son of the Steven family in the royal city. This time he followed Earl Barrow to Signo City to take charge.

Roland not only has a noble status, but is also a knight at the peak level. It is said that he will soon be promoted to a great knight.

He is not old, and it is very likely to become a legend in the future. He belongs to the star of the younger generation.

"Knight Roland!"

Dina's eyes lit up and she stepped forward quickly:

"Why are you here?"

"Miss Dina." Roland smiled and bowed:

"In order to prevent Robert's manor from hiding the fire thief from Cologne, the count asked me to bring someone to take a look."

"Um..."

"If you are interested, you can come in."

For this woman with outstanding figure and appearance, he from the royal city also has a good impression.

Especially when he heard that Dina had become a knight.

Roland didn't mind leaving a romantic debt in Signo City, so he reached out and took the initiative to invite.

But Dina can come in, but others can't.

There are too many good things in Robert's manor, not only the inspection office wants it, but Count Barrow agrees to be interested.

"This..."

Dina looked back at her colleagues who dared to be angry but not to speak, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly shook her head:

"Forget it!"

"What a pity."

Roland sighed and said:

"I wonder if Miss Dina has time tonight. I heard that the Wim Opera House has arranged a new performance."

"Really?" Dina was obviously a little moved. After thinking about it, she did not agree directly, and asked:

"Where was Knight Roland last night?"

"This..." Roland's face changed slightly. He was hanging out with several noble ladies in the city last night, so it was of course inconvenient to say.

"Yesterday I practiced swordsmanship as usual, and I went to sleep directly when I was tired."

"Why?"

He said jokingly:

"Miss Dina is very interested in my nightlife?"

"No."

Dina smiled awkwardly, moved her eyes to the broadsword hanging on the other's waist, and said thoughtfully:

"I heard that Knight Roland's swordsmanship is very good, and the inheritance is related to the sacred sword skills of the Church?"

"Not bad." Roland straightened his body and said proudly:

"The first ancestor of our Steven family was a holy knight of the Ferro Empire hundreds of years ago."

When the empire was not divided, some special legendary knights would be canonized as holy knights.

His status is comparable to that of the grand dukes of various kingdoms now, and even better.

Today.

There are no holy knights in the major kingdoms, and only within the Holy See have similar titles.

The ancestor of the Steven family is a holy knight and is indeed something to be proud of.

"Well..." Dinah nodded:

"I wonder if I have a chance to see the swordsmanship of a knight?"

"It's simple." Roland said:

"After checking this manor, Miss Dinah can come to me at any time. I am available at any time."

"Thank you." Dinah bowed:

"If you have time, you must go and visit."

Then he waved his hand:

"Let's go!"

After they were far away from the manor and could no longer see anyone, everyone cursed angrily.

"Damn it!"

"It should be our inspection department's responsibility. Why should outsiders like them interfere?"

"that is!"

"They are talking about guarding against the fire thieves in Cologne. They just want to occupy the manor and don't want us to enter."

"..."

"That's enough!" Dinah frowned and said solemnly:

"No matter who is in charge, as long as safety is ensured, each of you should say less."

"yes."

Everyone seemed to agree, although they spoke less, their expressions were still a bit unhappy.

"Sir."

Kaili suddenly spoke:

"You are not attracted to that Knight Roland, are you? I heard that this man's private life is very bad."

"..." Dinah's face darkened:

"Shut up!"

"Kelly, you don't understand this." Someone laughed:

"Sir, I suspect that the mysterious man last night was him. After all, there are only a few masters in the city."

"and……"

"The weapon Roland uses is a broadsword, the same as that of the mysterious man."

"The one who uses a broad sword is the mysterious man?" Kaili snorted coldly:

"Karl also used a broadsword!"

There was silence.

Then everyone burst out laughing, and even Dinah couldn't help but pout, thinking the joke was funny.

How could Carl be the mysterious man?

That man's strength was comparable to that of a great knight, and he had many mysterious methods. Karl was just a down-and-out nobleman.

"Not just because of the weapons."

Dinah explained:

"The swordsmanship performed by that man last night was somewhat similar to the sacred swordsmanship of the Holy See, and it happens to be the inheritance of the Roland family."

"I do suspect it's him."

The mysterious man saved her life in a critical moment, and Dinah was naturally grateful, and she also developed some affection for Roland, who was suspected of being the mysterious man.

"Yes." Someone said:

"The mysterious man appeared after Roland came to Signo City. There is a high possibility that it is him."

"If it was him, why would he hide his identity?" someone questioned.

"Who knows!"

"Maybe it's not him at all!"

Everyone whispered.

"alright."

Dinah waved:

"In addition to this manor, Robert also has several outhouses. He is willing to follow those who have passed by."

"Unwilling..."

"Go back to the inspection hall!"

The colleagues in the inspection department all have good backgrounds, and they can still make jokes even in front of their own superiors.

The atmosphere is good,

But the efficiency of getting things done is not high.

A group of people discussed briefly, and most of them left on their own, while a small number continued to follow Dinah.

Carl didn't leave.

Maybe there are records of Robert's research on witchcraft in the outer house, so it's not a waste to go there.

The entrance to the manor.

Roland touched his chin, his eyes thinking.

He could feel Dinah's interest in him, and no matter what the reason was, it always promoted the progress of their relationship.

"Nice woman."

"pity!"

He stretched his muscles and said:

"My target is Princess Duna of Sark. It's okay to play with other women, but don't get entangled."

*

*

*

"The third one!"

Kaili looked at the manor in front of him, speechless:

"How many gold coins did Robert save? Where did he get the money to buy so many estates?"

"Let's go!"

Karl patted him on the shoulder:

"When you have money, you can buy a place like this."

"Forget it!" Kaili shook his head:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to afford such a luxurious manor in my lifetime. Why don't you go to the study first?"

"yes."

Carl steps:

"Robert's collection of books is quite interesting."

"Alas!" Kaili looked at him with a somewhat complicated look:

"In the past, you couldn't stand listening to bards singing. It's hard to imagine that now you actually like reading books?"

"If it hadn't been for the blessing of the church priest, I would have suspected that something had stolen your soul."

Karl shook his head when he heard this, but he had to say that the other party's guess was true to a certain extent.

he,

He has indeed changed into a new person!

As Adolf said, the so-called wizard is a certain type of existence that pursues knowledge and truth.

Every wizard apprentice will have his own library.

Robert stayed in a different manor every night. For the convenience of reading, each manor had a study room.

Just the size is slightly different.

"Found it!"

Carl took a few thick books from the bookshelf, smiled, and found a long rope to wrap them up.

"Hmm..."

"Manuscript?"

This study should be a place Robert often comes to. In addition to various books related to witchcraft knowledge, there is also a manuscript.

Carl flipped through it casually and immersed himself in it unconsciously.

Unlike books with complicated outlines and detailed introductions, manuscripts can better reflect a person's thoughts.

It is like the crystallization of wisdom!

"Witchcraft is related to each other. After practicing the first zero-ring witchcraft, practicing the same type of witchcraft will speed up the progress and make it easier to get started."

"Meditation is the key to breakthrough..."

"The root of the gargoyle is the heart of stone. Although it is inherited by the blood wizard, it also belongs to the category of the earth system."

"I practice earth system witchcraft and meditation, which will speed up the practice of the gargoyle, and vice versa."

"Knowledge..."

"Choosing the path of blood wizards requires a lot of experience in dissecting magical creatures and legendary creatures. I took the wrong path at the beginning."

"Too late!"

"Now it's difficult to give up the path of blood wizards and switch to earth witchcraft."

"The knowledge of cultivating spider women can really provide me with a lot of experience. The progress of blood wizards is getting faster and faster. I don't know if the messenger of God can provide similar knowledge again, but I really don't want to see her."

"She is a lunatic!"

"She?"

Carl frowned slightly.

From the manuscript, it seems that there is another messenger of God above Robert, and he is very afraid of the messenger of God.

"Meditation is the key!"

Raising his head, Carl gently rubbed his temple:

"It's over. The meditation I practiced is the deep sea meditation method, which belongs to the water system of the natural school, and it doesn't match the fire seal at all."

"If I practice the fire meditation method, the power of the fire seal will definitely be stronger."

"Secondary spell force field belongs to the force field witchcraft, and arcane missiles belong to the branch of witchcraft arcane..."

"No wonder Robert said that I am like a practitioner who accidentally embarked on the path of wizards. The witchcraft I practiced is not systematic and it is really too messy."

Robert himself has taken a detour. If he has a choice, he will definitely choose the earth wizard inheritance.

What can I do.

Once you start the wizard path, it is too difficult to adjust, and it takes a lot of time and energy.

The same system of meditation, tricks, zero-ring witchcraft, and one-ring witchcraft will not only have superimposed power, but also be easier to break through.

Carl sighed:

"Why didn't you say that, senior sister?"

This is wronged by Xibel, because Xibel himself does not understand this knowledge.

The person who understands is not here.

What's more, no one knows that in just one year, Carl has mastered several zero-ring witchcraft.

"Water system!"

"Water system?"

Carl looked thoughtful:

"I have fragments of the divine domain, even if it is a different system of witchcraft, it is not difficult to construct, so a little detour will not affect it, but if you want to become a formal wizard, you must have a complete inheritance."

"Hmm..."

"Free Port is next to the Endless Sea, there is no shortage of creatures with special powers, and it also belongs to the water system. If you can find a powerful legendary water creature, you can follow the path of a bloodline wizard..."

"Carl!"

The shout interrupted his thoughts.

"Come here!"

"Oh!"

Carl came back to his senses and put away the manuscript:

"I'll be right there."

…………

This manor is obviously special. There are not only manuscripts written by Robert, but also other things.

One by one, the women with bruises on their bodies walked out of the secret room under the manor and were helped to get on the carriage.

These women are all missing girls in the city.

They were imprisoned by Robert in a secret room under the manor for his enjoyment and to be ravaged at will.

Not only Robert.

Sometimes they were used to entertain other people and reward fire thieves.

When necessary, they were even used to make potions in exchange for the favor of some dignitaries.

In the eyes of some people, these girls were not their kind at all, but some playthings.

Even,

Food!

However, Carey's fiancée was still not among them, and it seemed that she had really been killed.

"Beast!"

Even though Dinah strictly abided by the chivalrous code, she couldn't help but get angry and swear after seeing the scene of the girl being imprisoned:

"This kind of person, it's too easy to kill him!"

"Carl."

"Here." Carl stepped forward.

"Go and see off Lady Anne." Dinah lowered her voice and said:

"Don't let anyone know."

Lady Anne?

Carl looked surprised and looked at the carriage beside him.

At this moment, a corner of the curtain was lifted, revealing half of a delicate cheek, with smooth and transparent skin.

Is this person also imprisoned in the manor by Robert?

Lady Anne is known as the most beautiful woman in Signo City, and is the object of a date in the dreams of countless men.

No wonder I haven't heard about this person in recent times. She has been trapped in this manor.

Although she is known for her amorousness, it will not look good if it is spread out, so Dina arranged someone to escort her.

The reason for choosing Carl is also very simple.

He is about to leave Signo City, and even if there are any scandals, no one will care.

"Yes."

Carl nodded and got on the carriage.

The carriage was spacious, and Lady Anne wrapped herself tightly in a long robe, curled up in the corner and said nothing.

The wheels turned and slowly drove out of the manor.

"Crack!"

Karl lit the kerosene lamp, put on the lampshade, sat down opposite and took out a book to read.

Under the dim light, a pair of curious eyes could be vaguely seen.

"Karl?"

"Um?"

Karl was stunned and looked up:

"You know me?"

"Um."

Mrs. Anne nodded slowly. Perhaps because she had been trapped for a long time, her voice was a little hoarse:

"I heard someone mentioned your name."

"Really?" Karl frowned:

"I'm just an ordinary inspector. Madam, you have such a distinguished status that you can actually know about me?"

There seemed to be no overlap between the two, and he was not worthy of the other's attention.

"Exalted status?" Mrs. Anne whispered, and as she moved closer, a faint fragrance floated:

"She's just a weak woman with no husband and no one to rely on."

Karl subconsciously turned sideways.

"What?" Mrs. Anne looked up, her clear and transparent eyes filled with tears, her voice filled with sadness:

"You dislike me?"

"No." Karl shook his head:

"It's just...I'm not used to people being so close to me."

"Really?" Mrs. Anne blinked and said with some envy:

"It's better for you men. You are strong enough alone, but we women cannot live without support."

He said approaching again.

What is this woman doing?

Carl's lips were dry.

The exquisite facial features and clear eyes so close at hand seemed to have a kind of magic power, making his heart beat faster.

The woman in front of her had a criminally perfect figure, but her appearance was as innocent as that of an ignorant girl. The huge contrast could easily arouse the protective desire in a man's heart.

"You must have heard the story about me, right?" Looking at Karl, Mrs. Anne slowly lowered her head, covering her cheeks with her long silky hair:

"It's embarrassing, isn't it?"

"No." Karl said subconsciously:

"Madam, there is no need to care what others say."

Um?

Something's wrong!

How could such words come from my own mouth?

Karl's heart trembled, and he used breathing and meditation methods to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

"Don't care?"

Lady Anne shook her head gently:

"How could you not care?"

"In this world, who doesn't want to live according to their own temperament? Since I have chosen this kind of life, of course I have to bear the price."

"Yes." Karl nodded:

"My lady sees everything clearly."

"That's what they say, but people are different." Mrs. Anne raised her hand and swiped her hair, revealing her cheeks with confused eyes:

"My mother was a prostitute. She had me because of an accident. My father never cared about us, mother and daughter."

"My mother passed away early. I said she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, but she was actually their servant."

"Still a free servant!"

She smiled bitterly, as if she was remembering the original scene, with complicated eyes:

"I envy my sister for having new clothes and toys, so I want them too, right?"

"That's right." Karl nodded.

Something's wrong!

There is something wrong with this woman!

"I come from a humble background, with no knowledge, vision, or friends. I can't get anything I want." Lady Anne sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her voice:

"Fortunately, the gods felt sorry for me and gave me a beautiful skin. I can exchange it for something I like. Isn't that right?"

"..." Karl said nothing.

"I know you look down on me, but it doesn't matter. You are a noble and some things are born with you." Lady Anne said:

"I can't!"

"I want things, and I need to fight for them, grab them, and exchange them with others."

"You nobles can order people at will and change women every day, why can't I?"

"Why do you do this and be called romantic and charming, but I am called cheap?"

"Madam." Karl said slowly:

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"Ha..." Mrs. Anne chuckled, leaning closer again, and her robe slowly faded away:

"I understood at a very young age that only if I find someone I can rely on, others will not dare to touch me, and at most they will say bad things behind my back."

"I will marry the earl, and I will find a backer..."

"Karl!"

Under the robe, her graceful body is fully displayed.

"I want you to be my supporter."

"Madam." Karl's eyes narrowed:

"I want to get off."

"Get off?" Mrs. Anne smiled sweetly:

"The car door is locked, how do you get out?"

"Don't be afraid!"

She got closer and closer, her voice was charming:

"I know what you want and what you lack. As long as you are with me, you can get everything you want."

"It's like..."

"Robert!"

Karl's heart trembled!

"Mrs. Anne!" At this moment, Dinah's voice sounded from outside, and the traveling carriage stopped.

"lady!"

Dinah opened the car door and came to the carriage. She looked at the two people who were almost touching each other with some surprise and said:

"I have something to ask you."

It seems that the car door is not locked.
