In the outer city of the royal capital, in the basement of another property owned by the Ansel family on the other side of Xia En, the small ball of light that Xia En was holding suddenly glowed violently, and the sudden light almost did not catch his eyes.

Then the Small Light Orb in his hand floated up out of thin air, and emitted a strange wave. Shane was not advanced in magic practice. If he was advanced, he could feel the wave of Spatial Power.

Then a small black dot appeared out of thin air in mid-air, and then the black dot continued to expand and turned into a dark passage. When the diameter of the passage expanded to two meters, it stopped. After Space Channel stabilized, a figure walked out of it.

After seeing the figure walking out, Shane's eyes lit up and he stepped forward to greet him, "Claire!"

Claire squinted his eyes slightly, and after getting used to the brightness here, he saw Shane clearly in front of him. He had always been in darkness in Space Channel. Then he hugged Shane's shoulders and said kindly, "Long time no see!" He felt relieved in his heart, and finally returned to this familiar world.

Shane is a bit baffled. Claire has been missing for only a week or two, so how can he say this? But he didn't care. It was the best news that Claire could come back safely.

"Are you okay? Everyone is worried about you!"

Claire patted his body and said with a smile, "Do you think I'm in trouble?"

"That's right. You seem to be in better spirits than before. Let's go! Let's talk about it when we get back."

Claire turned his head and looked at the coordinates, and then destroyed it completely with a wave of his hand. Although Spatial Coordinates set a specific frequency, it might be discovered by some strong person from other planes. If it is used as the coordinates, it might be able to be transmitted directly here, so it is better to be careful.

Shane just took a look and didn't ask any more questions. He was at Magic Apprentice's level and didn't know much about magic. He spent a lot of money to split this Spatial Coordinates into many parts and have it customized by someone else.

Shane led the way, Claire followed. When walking out of the basement, Claire also took out Great Light Orb and closed his eyes to feel it. Well, he put it in Wizard World can still sense the ball of light over there. He now has one more world than those mages, and the time flow rate in that world is ten times that of this one. There are many things that can be done with this time ratio, especially in cultivating power.

In the lounge in Tulip Shop, Irene was sitting on the sofa next to Claire, leaning his body in the direction of Claire, almost missing Claire's body.

"Brother Claire! Where have you been these days?" Irene blinked his big eyes, full of concern.

"I'm injured. I just found a place to heal."

"Then why didn't you tell her where you were? If I knew where you were, I would definitely send someone to pick you up!" Irene pouted. If Shane hadn't brought her the news that Claire was fine three days after Claire disappeared, Irene wouldn't have known how long he could have lasted in such an extremely depressed situation.

Claire smiled, I am in another world, you can still come to me.

"The injury was too serious at the time. I just looked for a place to heal, and I didn't even know where it was. You see, I'll be back right away now that I've recovered."

"Hmph!" Irene curled his lips, seemingly not satisfied with Claire's answer.

Then he stood up and walked to the big sofa where Claire and Shane were sitting together. He hugged Claire's arm and leaned against him.

"I don't care, I won't go back today anyway, lest the situation like last time happens again."

Shane was a little surprised to see Irene's action, which was a bit too intimate.

But Irene didn't care. The days when Claire disappeared made her understand that some things can't be waited for, and she must take the initiative! Don't wait until you lose it and then regret it. By then it will be too late.

Claire's body froze, and he looked at Shane with a wry smile. Shane shook his head crazily and got up and sat on another sofa. He didn't dare to interfere with this matter. It was none of his business.

At this time, a clerk knocked on the door and reported, "Master, there are people from the church outside who want to see you."

Shane turned back and glanced at Claire. He naturally knew that the people from the church could not come to see him, they must have come to see Claire. However, the church's information is really fast. Not even an hour after Claire came back, he told the news to Irene and other people who had a good relationship with Claire.

Claire nodded, "Let him come in."

The person who came in was not the pope who had been here last time, but a cardinal. He said a word as soon as he entered the door, and then left.

"The Pope asked me to say something: The Archmage who assassinated you that day has nothing to do with our church."

After the cardinal left, the atmosphere on the court became solemn. Shane frowned and asked, "Claire, what happened that day?"

After Claire removed Space Channel, he roughly explained what happened. The process was similar to what those City Guards had deduced.

"Brother Claire, did the church attack you?" Irene hugged Claire's arm tightly and raised his head and asked.

Shane also asked, "Yes, do you know who attacked you?"

Claire shook his head after pondering for a moment, "That Archmage didn't reveal any valid information. I can't guess who sent him here, but the church can't send suspicions either."

"Could it be the kid you beat up before? His grandfather is Archmage. In terms of the conditions and motives for committing the crime, it is sufficient." Shane said. He had always felt that the kid Beck was not a good person.

"I told you, Beck is not that kind of person!" A cold voice came from the door, interrupting Shane's words.

Edith walked in with a lamp, and nodded slightly as a greeting after seeing Claire.

Then he put the Nether Spirit Lamp on the table and said softly, "This is what I borrowed from you before. I will also put the extra few days' money on your card."

Claire smiled and said, "That's not necessary. It was my fault that caused the time extension. You don't need to pay more."

"It's just a small amount of money." Edith waved his hand nonchalantly, "But I still want to say that the assassination of you was not done by Beck. I asked him after that incident, and he said he didn't know anything."

Shane curled his lips and was very disdainful of Edith's words. Just believe it when people say it. Unless you hand him over to me for torture, I won't believe it!

"Yeah, I believe you." Claire nodded. If we talk about suspects, then Claire has several candidates in mind, but Beck is definitely not among them.

Edith simply said a few words and left. After the topic came to this aspect, the mood of the three people present became heavier.

In the evening, Irene, who originally wanted to stay here, was picked up by people sent by King. Before leaving, he looked at Claire and Shane eagerly, hoping that they could "save" him.

After Claire repeatedly promised that he would stay at Inner City, Irene left with some peace of mind. The last time Claire left The incident happened at Outer City. If it was at Inner City, then the time it took City Guard to dispatch can be calculated in seconds, and it would take no more than thirty seconds to arrive at the scene. There are many dignitaries living in Inner City, so there is no room for any mistakes.

Claire lived in a property in Inner City owned by Shane's family tonight, or it was specially selected by Shane. It was very close to City Guard's headquarters, less than two hundred meters away. He still couldn't believe that those people dared to do anything at such a close distance?!

Ever since, Claire heard the sound of someone prying open the window in the middle of the night. After a few seconds, a round shadow jumped into Claire's room from outside the window.
