"Sophie."

"Real name?"

"Yes sir, that is my real name."

"oh."

"gentlemen?"

"Be surprised, okay, Sophie, this is your name, then let's continue." Maureen's faint voice sounded.

Sophie sat obediently in front of Maureen. She had changed her clothes, from a dirty dress to a soft, white one. Her hair had been washed and was dishevelled, making her look very cute. Her face had also been washed, making it clean and adorable.

Maureen was sitting in front of her, squinting his eyes and looking carefully at the girl in front of him.

Sophie?

Um, Sophie.

Maureen and the others have returned to Margaret's mansion. Maureen brought Sophie into his room and began to question her.

He was really a little curious about this little girl named Sophie.

The servants in Margaret's mansion naturally saw Maureen coming back with a little girl. Neither they nor Margaret seemed to notice anything about it. After all, for a powerful wizard, bringing back a little girl was not a problem.

Maureen slowly asked Sophie questions in front of him. They were still the same questions, but the situation was different. He secretly used some mental suggestion and hypnosis to make Sophie tell the truth.

However, there was no special effect.

He asked the same question, and Sophie gave the same answer as before.

It was as if the hypnosis and mental suggestion cast by Maureen had completely failed, and as if what Sophie said were all true answers.

Yeah, very good . Very powerful.

"Reality Detection."

Maureen secretly performed a spell and cast a detection spell, but the feedback he got was the same as before. What Sophie said was true, and the answers were all real. She did not lie.

Maureen slowly withdrew his hand and removed the witchcraft.

He looked at Sophie in front of him and was silent.

Things really turned out to be somewhat beyond his expectations.

Sophie slowly raised her head. Her face was delicate and her expression was exquisite and lovable. There was no sign of her being affected by witchcraft at all.

This is natural. Maureen is now a third-level wizard. His level and attainments in witchcraft have reached a very high level. He can cast spells secretly and silently without affecting people. It is not difficult for Maureen.

"Mr. Morin?" Sophie's voice sounded a little surprised, as if she had no idea what was going on.

"You're tired. You just took a shower and you're already a little exhausted."

Maureen reached out and gently ruffled Sophie's hair, saying, "Don't think too much. Go to sleep."

"Okay, Mr. Morin, good night."

Sophie gave Maureen a sweet smile. After bowing, she left Maureen's room and moved into the room next to Maureen that had already been cleaned up.

Maureen watched Sophie's slowly leaving back and squinted his eyes. Although Sophie looked right and everything seemed normal, Maureen had a vague feeling in his heart that Sophie, this little girl, was not simple.

"Didn't she want me to protect her?"

"That's right, take me with you and take a closer look."

The corners of Morin's mouth twitched, which was considered a smile.

He was not worried about Sophie leaving. Not to mention whether there would be any powerful wizard other than him willing to protect a little girl, even if Sophie wanted to leave, Maureen would be able to sense it.

Before, Maureen not only cast hypnosis on Sophie, he also cast several secret and strange spells on her.

This is the backup plan he left behind.

Maureen took Sophie out and went on a careful tour of the city of Taya with her. Sophie seemed very happy, giggling and making clear laughter. She and Maureen went to many places, including the circus, the amusement park, and the snack street. They went to every place and had a great time.

Maureen also felt a moment of relaxation.

After returning to Margaret's mansion, the butler came over personally. He said that Margaret was hosting a banquet today and invited Maureen, Simon Eisen and other distinguished guests, and then took Maureen with her.

The dinner was very luxurious. Margaret kept livening up the atmosphere and seemed very lively and enthusiastic.

The annual festival was approaching, and Margaret was inviting Maureen and her friends to more and more banquets. She was expressing her friendship in this way.

But Morin didn't have such thoughts at this time.

"Ding! Mission accomplished!"

"The pattern has been briefly analyzed!"

The cold, mechanical sound of the chip rang in Morin's mind.

Have those mysterious patterns that he accidentally got from the Tug School disciples been solved? Morin's heart moved slightly.

"Mr. Maureen, what's wrong with you?" Margaret noticed Maureen's abnormality and asked softly in Maureen's ear.

"nothing."

Maureen shook her head.

He picked up the spoon and continued with his dinner.

After dinner, Morin returned to the room. He whispered a few witchcraft spells, and the witchcraft array that had been set up in the entire room began to activate.

Morin's lips moved slightly, and his fingers kept drawing in the air. Rays of silver light kept appearing and disappearing between his fingers.

After a long time, Morin slowly withdrew his hand.

"No, it's still far from enough, far from enough." Morin muttered to himself.

"It seems that if I want to get more patterns, I have to go to the Tug School."

Maureen had an idea in mind.

He felt a strong sense of curiosity, because those patterns carried an indescribable ancient meaning, as if they were something from the previous era, simple, grand, yet extremely extraordinary. Most importantly, Morin always felt that those patterns were very similar to the Minai totem.

Although the two things are not similar at all and are not the same at all, this thought suddenly popped up in Morin's mind.

He left Margaret's mansion, stretched out his hand and stopped a carriage.

After saying the place name, Morin leaned back on the soft couch in the carriage and began to wait in silence.

At the palace banquet, Margaret had already told Morin the location of the Tug School when she introduced the various forces in Taya City, so Morin naturally knew it.

The carriage was moving forward and Maureen was waiting quietly.

Suddenly, Maureen felt something was wrong.

He moved his body, disappeared blurrily, and appeared next to the coachman the next moment.

"Sir, why did you come out suddenly..." The coachman was surprised.

Maureen said nothing, just looked ahead.

People were coming and going on the street, talking loudly, it was a very lively scene, and there was nothing special about it.

"Be careful."

Maureen said.

The driver was a little confused, but the next moment, a look of horror appeared on his face.

boom!!

Flames shot up into the sky.

Huge explosions sounded all around, and countless blazing flames surged in like a tide, instantly submerging the place.
