Alger, however, remained angry.
Although Xu Ling had already looked away, he still frowned unhappily.
What's the meaning?
Is this implying that he is incompetent in handling affairs?
At other times, even if he hadn't brought everyone here properly, he wouldn't have cared at all!
But right now, His Holiness the Bishop is still standing here...
Alger rejected such unfounded slander, which he saw as a questioning of his abilities!
Immediately, he couldn't help but take a step forward, exclaiming, "What do you mean by this?!"
However, he was stopped halfway through his sentence. Just then, a hand reached out from his side and blocked his way.
“Wait a minute,” Miller stepped forward and explained, “they’ve arrived too.”
"Then why didn't I see him?" As Miller came out, Xu Ling was no longer afraid and looked around for the other people.
Yes, after coming in, Xu Ling finally remembered something she had forgotten—not only did they leave together, but also a half-elf and her son!
Looking left and right, no matter how she looked, it was obvious that she didn't see anyone else besides them.
So, where are they?
Xu Ling remained silent, her gaze fixed on Miller, as if to say, "Are you lying?"
The doubts were too obvious; just hearing the voice made Alger even angrier. This was even more infuriating than doubting his abilities!
How could a bishop lie?!
Alger couldn't help but lean out from behind Miller and snap, "Xu Ling, don't go too far!..."
Miller interrupted him again, "It's okay, you'll see them soon."
This time, Xu Ling simply said "oh" and didn't argue further.
She suddenly remembered that Miller, as the number one person to carry out the mission of the God of Light, had to consider the God of Light's orders, even if he didn't care about the monk. How could Miller not carry out the orders given by the God of Light?
Xu Ling was completely relieved. After she stopped interrupting, Alger, though still furious, only glared at her before reporting the follow-up arrangements to Miller.
Alger's voice rose and fell, passing through Xu Ling's ears but not her mind; her thoughts were uncontrollably drifting away.
She always felt like she had forgotten something, but upon closer inspection, it seemed like she hadn't forgotten anything, so... she hadn't forgotten anything, right?
At this moment, in the suburbs some distance from Hope City, a yellow figure suddenly flashed through the not-so-low bushes.
The bushes shook violently, and before they could stop, a huge, silvery-white figure darted past.
The bushes shook even more violently, and leaves fell from the branches with a rustling sound, instantly turning them into bare trees.
At the same time, a black figure streaked across the sky.
Po flapped his wings and followed closely behind.
Although it is slightly slower than the Reliable and Fair, it can fly.
Their vision is clearly broader than that of the two reliable ones.
With his black, beady eyes spinning around, Ah Bao suddenly froze in mid-air, nearly falling to his death.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, its body's instincts allowed it to flap its wings and escape disaster.
Ah Bao cried out in alarm, "Gah—Gah—!"
[That's right, I didn't see Lily's carriage!]
Kaopu didn't turn back, but it wasn't that it didn't hear Abao's bark. Visibly, it sprinted forward at an even faster speed than before.
The black tip of its nose twitched slightly, and the surrounding air quickly entered the reliable body through its nasal cavity. The seemingly small cat body actually contained high technology that transcended time and space, and the air was thoroughly analyzed as soon as it entered.
The results came out very quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, and a faint blue light flashed in the eyes of the running kitten.
Just as Abao had told it, the aura surrounding Xu Ling was slowly becoming fainter, which meant that Xu Ling had already left, or that the distance between them was too great for it to detect her presence.
Frankly speaking, I'm more inclined to believe the latter than the former.
After all, as a system deeply bound to Xu Ling, how could it only realize this belatedly after Xu Ling left?
Reliable refuses to accept this reality.
With a determined look, it sprinted fiercely towards the direction where Xu Ling's presence was strongest according to the data analysis. Fei Er, who was following behind it, could initially keep up with its speed, but now, even at full speed, he could only watch helplessly as the reliable one disappeared from his sight.
Kaopu was the first to reach the place where the carriage disappeared.
As soon as it stood still, it raised its head and took a deep breath. It was clear that Xu Ling's scent was the strongest here.
Looking down, the deep ruts indicated that a horse-drawn carriage had once stopped here, further confirming the analysis results.
After confirming the location, Kaopu followed the tire tracks to find the trail. Unfortunately, after only a short distance, the once obvious tire tracks disappeared.
Looking further ahead, one can see that the path is flat and natural, without the slightest trace of a carriage.
Clearly, the carriage carrying Xu Ling disappeared suddenly here.
The reliable little paws tapped the dividing line where the tire tracks suddenly disappeared.
A gentle breeze blew by, and although there was nothing unusual to be felt here, it was certain that only a magic circle could make a carriage and several people disappear at the same time.
Moreover, it's not an ordinary magic circle!
It is clear that this magic circle is secretive. If it were not from a higher dimension and possessed more precise and effective methods than this world, it would be impossible to sense any magical fluctuations based solely on personal feeling, even if it were standing right here at this moment.
Furthermore, this magic circle must be quite large, otherwise how could it accommodate a carriage?
To satisfy these two conditions, a vast amount of magical elements are required.
So, which of the people in the carriage is "wealthy" enough to use this magic circle?
First, let's exclude Xu Ling and April. Xu Ling goes without saying, and April... well, it doesn't really matter!
The remaining few, Sissi, Bass, Pedro...
Only Pedro has that kind of ability!
But is he willing to expend so much magical energy?
Just thinking about it makes it seem impossible!
So after ruling him out, the two most likely candidates are Miller and Alger.
Both of them came from the Church of Light, and Miller held a high position. The magical elements that were so abundant and painful for others were just a drop in the ocean for the Church of Light.
But even though it's just a drop in the ocean, I really can't understand why they activated the magic circle.
Have we encountered an insurmountable danger?
But if they really encountered an enemy that even Miller couldn't handle, how could there be no movement at all?
After a very thorough review, it was absolutely certain that there had been no unusual noises or disturbances before this point!
So, why activate the magic circle?
The yellow kitten was completely baffled!
