Chapter 85
91 Rock Street.

Inside the restaurant on the first floor.

Colin was sitting on a recliner next to the tea table, holding a teacup in one hand, while reading "Experiences in Optimizing Soil for Several Rare Species" written by Lawrence Hobham on his lap.

Veronica sat on the high chair by the dining table, carefully adjusting the violin in her hand.

In the kitchen, two chefs in white coats were busy preparing a lunch for three people.

After several failed dates, the two learned from the painful experience, and later found that instead of dining out, it was better to stay at home, and called the chef of the Duke's mansion to Colin's detached villa in the garden area.Or go directly to the Duke's Mansion to meet.

"Your Highness." Dinah walked up to Veronica with a kettle and refilled her coffee.

"Thank you Dana."

"My lord." The dancer who had lived here for a year turned around and knelt down to Colin and added water to his teacup.

Colin nodded slightly.

Not long after, melodious music sounded.

Colin put down his book and listened attentively as a sign of respect.

Veronica really likes music. The first few dates were almost all about concert halls and music celebrities. In her opinion, not talking about music scores is the least boring thing.

Naturally, Ke Lin didn't understand these things, but he had a strong memory. It took him two days to memorize some famous music characters and the background of the music.

As long as you don't talk about the music itself, you can barely discuss it with Veronica, and you are even better at some rare celebrity anecdotes.

The sound of the single violin is beautiful, with a wide range and strong expressive force.

It is currently the most popular musical instrument in mainland China, and it is also the instrument with the largest number of regular orchestras.

The music entered the main theme, and Dinah walked into the center of the living room with the skirt in one hand, turned gracefully, and began to dance to the music.

……

The song is over.

Colin applauded enthusiastically.

Dinah bowed to them both.

Veronica lowered her bowstring.

Colin got up and went to the table.

"The time to go to Xia Ya has been advanced, and I will officially set off at the end of September."

"Well, I heard what my father said." Veronica raised her head: "Have you had enough time to prepare?"

"Almost." Colin said, "Fortunately, there are many people helping me."

"I thought I was going first."

Veronica is scheduled to visit the Principality of Osteria in the western continent at the end of the year, and she will also visit Master Blanche who taught her the harp for three months—it is said that this legendary musician ended his tour of the continent early due to physical problems .

"I'll wait for you in Xia Ya, and make it better by the way." Ke Lin said with a smile: "All the current news shows that Xia Ya is not a place suitable for long-term living."

"Yeah." Veronica bowed her head and plucked the strings.

Then, as if thinking of something, he raised his head and said, "I still have some savings, you can take them with you when the time comes, and you can take more things from your father's side. I remember that he has a few powerful guards. You can bring more people to Xiaxia. elegant."

Colin didn't know what to say for a while, it is estimated that Duke Violet would be pissed off when he heard this.

He originally wanted to refuse, but it was not easy to go against her kindness, not to mention that Veronica's property would be sent to Xia Ya sooner or later.

As for the old man, he really has to say goodbye.

Colin nodded: "At that time, I will sell this house and the manor in the suburbs, and let Dinah follow you first."

"Don't you want Dinah to accompany you?" Veronica asked doubtfully.

Ke Lin understood what she was thinking, but he couldn't explain it. He smiled and said, "I will be very busy at the beginning, and I won't have time to take care of her when I take her home."

"Oh." Veronica nodded: "Then I will take her to Xia Ya."

……

……

Thunder City City Hall.

Sheriff's Office.

inside the prison.

"Just a kid?"

Colin looked at the cell on the other side of the iron railing, where a little girl who looked only about eleven or twelve years old was being held.

"We didn't expect that either, Mr. Wayne." Hank followed Colin, explaining: "But she was caught in the middle of committing the crime, and the servants of Viscount Tirion's family saw her draw the picture on the wall. Magic pattern."

Colin frowned.

He originally came to the Public Security Department to terminate the original contract. After all, he might not return to Thunder City for a long time. It is not a good thing to occupy the position and pay for nothing.

As a result, after the formalities were completed, Hank told them that they had captured the prisoner in the previous case.

However, Ke Lin couldn't imagine that this big-eyed, cute little girl was the legendary gangster who robbed the rich and didn't know whether to help the poor.

Thanks to myself, I had sworn at the beginning and told people that this person must be above the intermediate level, and at the same time proficient in ventilation and earth magic.

And the girl in front of her is obviously unlikely to meet this condition.

"Have you not interrogated?"

"I asked, but she didn't say anything. At this age, she can't be punished." Hank is obviously a principled person.

"If she keeps silent like this, according to the regulations, how will she deal with it?"

"It should be sent to the correctional center. After all, according to the law, not speaking is tantamount to acquiescing. Moreover, the amount of money she committed is too large, and too many dignitaries are involved. I am afraid that she will be imprisoned for the rest of her life. If she is not too young, there is a high probability that she will be imprisoned." Hang it," Hank said.

Colin also knew that this kind of law was not strict enough, but it was basically in line with the situation and logic of this world.

He took two steps forward, hesitated for a moment, and asked the girl, "What's your name?"

The little girl looked at him, expressionless and silent.

"Where did you learn that magic pattern?"

Continue to be silent.

"Candy?" Colin pretended to reach into his pocket for something.

Still silent, even a little disdainful.

Well, I really wasn't a master interrogator, and Hank couldn't ask anything that he couldn't ask either.

If it was another prisoner, even if the poor girl was young, he would not interfere. After all, this world is like this everywhere, and he can't control it at all.

But this person in front of him is different.

"Wind Energy Polarization Magic Pattern" is the teacher's unique technique, and even I only know it after reading Roman Sagan's magic notes.

He once asked the teacher who would know the magic pattern, but Roman Sagan didn't explain it, but just told him not to care about it, and because of this, Colin didn't continue to follow up on Hank and others. investigation.

However, the little girl in front of him is very likely to have something to do with the teacher, and it is impossible to justify it.

At least ask the teacher for his opinion.

He was thinking about how to make this request with Hank.

Suddenly there was a noise outside the door.

"What's going on?" Hank frowned, and said to his subordinates, "Go and see."

However, before the female subordinate could make a move, she heard a loud bang from the direction of the prison gate, and a big hole was forcibly pierced through the one-foot-thick prison gate.

Outside the door, an old man with white beard and hair came in with his head bowed, and walked slowly towards Ke Lin and the others.

There is no place to hide in the long and narrow passage of the prison.

The old man was wearing a white robe, which was not much different from the magician's magic robe except for the color, except that a burning flame pattern was drawn on the chest where the badge should have been.

A guard raised a long sword and attacked from behind.

The old man just turned around, stretched out his hand and tapped the opponent's chest, and after a flash of pure white light, the guard slowly fell to the ground.

Colin was quite curious about this half-melee, half-magic fighting style.

But what is speechless is that after the old man easily dealt with the opponent, he still seriously bowed slightly to the unconscious guard, and said in his mouth: "May the holy light protect you."

When Colin saw the flame emblem, he already had a premonition that something was wrong. After the other party said the first sentence, he felt bad instantly.

Holy Light Church.

Even if he is [-] times stupider, he can think of this name immediately.

This huge church, which has stood for 8000 years in human history, was expelled by the royal power and the magic organization at that time 2000 years ago while taking advantage of the civil strife.

In the end, the remaining believers either fled overseas, or spread the teachings secretly in secret.

To this day, its figure still appears in various parts of the mainland from time to time.

However, for Colin, the Church of the Holy Light impressed him the most, that is, its founder understood the magic of light from the element of fire.

This is very similar to what he is doing now.

The experience of "predecessors" should of course be used for reference.

But the magic of light has always been strictly kept secret by the Church of the Holy Light. It is only taught to a few high-level priests, and it has almost never been spread to the outside world. Up to now, there is no chance to even see it.

However, who would have thought that just today, Colin "got his wish".

I'm going to leave this shit, how could I be unlucky enough to meet a cult.

He instantly understood that the other party should come to save the imprisoned little girl.

Do you want to stop it?
He didn't know anything about light magic, and he would definitely suffer a loss if he did it.

And looking at the other party's style, it is obviously not a small role.

As long as you retreat to the end of the passage and let the other party rescue the person, maybe the old man may not necessarily do it.

Seeing that the opponent was getting closer, while Colin was still hesitating, he saw that Hank had drawn his sword and slashed towards him.

"Damn, teammate pig."

Sure enough, the old man rushed over suddenly, knocked down Hank, who was a middle-level knight, and pointed out to Colin after saying "May the Holy Light protect you".

Because he wasn't wearing a mage's robe, the other side obviously regarded him as an ordinary noble young man.

Ke Lin's thoughts turned, and a icy arrow shot out from between his fingers. Because of the tricky angle and the quick casting, the opponent was also surprised.

The old man changed the direction of his fingers, and the fingertips shone brightly, touching the Frost Arrow.

The high-density Frostbolts were instantly vaporized.

And Ke Lin had already retreated a few steps back, with his palms up, he lifted it violently.

An earthen wall rose from between the two of them, instantly blocking all sight.

He walked quickly but not in a panic to the end of the passage of the prison. Before reaching the end, he stretched out his hand and chanted silently.

The next moment, the wall at the end of the passage shattered as if it had lost its cohesive force, and countless dust splashed from the ground.

Colin got out like a cat.

After that, he didn't run away, but flashed to the side, and flew to the roof against the wall.

He flew across the roof, floated down, returned to the prison door, and walked back to where the girl was being held.

really.

The girl has been rescued.

There were only guards lying on the ground at the scene.

Colin let out a long breath.

Just about to step forward to check on Hank's situation, he suddenly heard the voice again: "Young man, very good."

What the hell!

You have rescued people, so why come back?
He completely subconsciously built a wall of wind around his body.

The light shines from behind.

"May the Holy Light protect you."

That desperate finger easily broke through Colin's wall of wind and pointed towards his back.

at the same time.

The jade ring on Ke Lin's chest flashed a bright light.

In an instant, another wind wall spread out from Colin as the center, firmly blocking the old man's fingers.

The pure white holy light was reflected as if it had hit a mirror.

"Ok?"

The old man was obviously taken aback, and then his face changed drastically.

"Go, Coral."

The little girl standing not far away hadn't reacted yet, and when the old man stepped forward to pull her up and was about to leave, a gentle air current instantly surrounded the two of them.

The old man's hands were radiant, and he tried his best to break through, but no matter what, he couldn't break through the seemingly gentle but resilient airflow.

"Roman Sagan, I will leave Thunder City immediately and never stay." The old man shouted loudly while trying his best to deal with the air currents coming from all directions.

The light collided with the airflow, illuminating the entire prison in all its colors.

When Ke Lin was in a daze, he heard the teacher's voice coming from nowhere:
"You can go. Your little apprentice made a mistake. I will keep her for five years. After five years, you will bring her back."

The old man bit his tongue and seemed to be hesitating, but when the white holy light was compressed by the invisible airflow, he finally shouted helplessly:
"it is good."

As soon as the voice fell, the air flow dissipated.

The old man stood where he was, panting for a moment, then looked at Colin.

"Are you a disciple of Roman Sagan?"

Colin was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Miscalculated."

The old man sighed, and then said to the little girl beside him: "Shu Shan, you can stay here for now, I will pick you up in five years."

After speaking, without waiting for the girl to answer, he walked towards the end of the passage without looking back, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Ke Lin didn't quite understand what happened until now. He only knew that the teacher rescued him and left the little girl behind.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the little girl named Coral.

And the little girl just happened to look at him.

For a time, big eyes stared at small eyes.

half an hour.

The girl showed a nervous and ingratiating smile: "May the Holy Light protect you."
