"Irene, are you okay?" Shane asked softly.
Irene was startled by the sudden voice from behind. He quickly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with his hand, turned around, and pretended that nothing was wrong and squeezed out a smile, "It's okay."
Seeing Irene like this, Shane's heart felt like it was being pulled, and she felt very distressed.
Irene continued to keep a smile on his face and asked, "Brother Shane, have you found any trace of brother Claire?"
Shane's eyes flickered, hesitating slightly, but hiding it was not an option, so he replied anyway.
"No, I have searched several cities and towns near the royal capital, but there is no trace of Claire. I have also sent people to search for other more distant cities. There should be hope."
"Is that so?" Irene felt a little dazed. This was already the third day since Claire disappeared.
Seeing Irene like this, Shane's heart ached again, and he quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, it's okay."
"Archmage from the space department called by Edith has confirmed that there are signs of space fluctuations in the manor, and didn't City Guard's announcement come out? Claire is not dead, but was seriously injured. He must have left through the teleportation scroll."
Irene nodded, she didn't really want to talk now...
After a while, Irene raised his head and finally couldn't control the tears in his eyes. He said with tears in his eyes, "Brother Shane, if I hadn't gone back at that time, then this thing wouldn't have happened?"
"If I hadn't gone back at that time, the two Archmages who protected me would have been able to protect my brother Claire."
Shane was shocked and said quickly, "Irene! How can you think so!"
"This matter is not your fault! Even if you were present at the time, they would have found other opportunities to attack Claire. This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to feel guilty!"
With that said, Shane quickly picked up a tissue and wiped the tears from the corners of Irene's eyes, "Don't cry, don't cry, Claire will definitely be fine."
"Look at when he has suffered a loss for so long. Maybe one day he will suddenly come back."
Irene nodded vigorously, "I know, he will definitely come back."
Irene wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves, patted his face, and forced out a strong smile.
"Okay, I'm fine, I'll go back first. If there is any new news, be sure to notify me."
Shane opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. In the end, he could only nod and say, "Okay."
Irene's performance these days has indeed exceeded Shane's expectations. After Claire disappeared, Irene has no Shane was so overwhelmed that she could only cry, but she was calmer than them. She was the one who sent people to post notices in the surrounding towns, and she was the one who collected the information from City Guard. These things are done better and faster than they all can.
If he hadn't come back early today and found her crying, Shane would have forgotten that Irene was just a girl younger than him.
After Irene left, Shane rubbed his hair painfully and lay weakly on the sofa.
"I'm such a waste... I can't even compare to Irene. Now Claire is missing, but I can't do anything. I can't even find out who is the murderer behind the scenes..."
I don't know how long I lay there, but when Shane woke up again, it was already getting late, and the street outside the shop, which was originally crowded with people, was silent.
Shane had a wry smile on his face, "It seems that I won't be able to sleep in the afternoon next time. When I wake up, I feel like I have been thrown away from the world..."
He rubbed his face and cheered himself up a little. Shane had made an appointment to meet with Sophia today. He hoped that Sophia could go to their ancestor of the August family and analyze where Claire was teleported to. Although he knew that the possibility of success was very slim, Shane had to give it a try.
As for Shane, why don't you go find their ancestor? That's because they Ansier Family are different from those families with profound heritage. They only emerged in the past hundred years, and there are no Archmage-level ancestors at all! It is entirely dependent on the royal family that it has developed to this point.
Shane opened the Spatial Ring in his hand and was about to take out the gifts prepared inside. You can't go without bringing some gifts with you when you meet someone.
While searching in Spatial Ring, Shane's expression suddenly froze, "Huh?!"
The next second, he took out the black spindle-shaped object from inside and started playing with it.
"This is what Claire gave me last time. It is said to be able to transmit information over long distances..."
As he said that, Shane picked up the shuttle-shaped object by mistake, pulled out a piece of paper, put it on the table and began to write and draw, "Claire... Where are you now?"
After finishing writing, Shane stared at the object for a long time, trying to see the changes on it, but no miracle happened.
Shane sighed, "Oh, why would I place my hopes on this thing."
Just as he was about to reach out and pick up the black shuttle-shaped object placed on the table, it suddenly stood up and started swimming on the paper.
"Is it Ciel?"
Shane's breathing became rapid for a moment. He picked up the fusiform object and quickly wrote on the paper, "Claire are you still alive! Who is Ciel? I am Shane!"
Claire was also very excited after seeing the words on the paper. He just suddenly noticed that the spindle-shaped black object in Spatial Ring was moving, and he realized that it might be Shane that sent him a message.
Claire picked up the "pen" and quickly replied, "I just wrote the name wrong on purpose. Now I can confirm that you are Shane!"
They've crossed the world, so it's better to be cautious.
Shane on the other side didn't care about this and continued to ask, "Where are you now? We are all so anxious! Hurry up and we will send someone to pick you up right away."
Claire looked up at the sky and showed a wry smile. He was no longer in the original world.
"Spatial Teleportation Something went wrong. I am now transported to another world."
"Ah?!" Shane was shocked. He was in another world. Is there still some problem?
"Don't worry, I'm fine now, but it's a little difficult to go back."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's okay. We've been looking for you for three days. Irene was crying just now..."
"Three days?!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's been almost a month since I was transported to this world..." Claire realized before he finished writing that the time flow rate in these two worlds is different! The difference is nearly ten times!
"Forget it, none of this is important." Claire wrote again, "Now that I have contacted you, I also hope to be able to return to my original world."
Shane also became energetic, "What do you want me to do!"
"Help me find some books on teleportation in the Royal Capital Magic Academy. I have no knowledge in this area at all."
"Okay, no problem!"
"By the way, there's one more thing."
"What happened?"
"You can tell Irene and the others that I'm still safe, but please keep it a secret for me about me being sent to other worlds, and don't tell anyone about it."
"Why?"
"I have my own plans, and I'm in another world. Doesn't that sound desperate?"
Shane thought of Irene who just cried, and felt that what Claire said was right, so he agreed, and he would find an excuse.
But in fact, Claire has a little selfishness of his own. If he can go back, then this world will be equivalent to his own private plane for him. With a world as his backup resource, it may not be too easy for him to develop!
If others discover it, it will be too difficult to get a share of the pie with my current strength.
