At noon, Locke and the others returned to the castle.

Seeing Locke and the others come back, the ice wolf king ran over excitedly. He soon discovered the flame bird, which was also a magical beast.

Staring at the flame bird, the ice wolf king stopped, stared at it and grinned, as if he was going to give the newcomer a head-on blow.

“Howl!”

The ice wolf king roared as if declaring his sovereignty.

The flame bird, who was dozing off in the carriage, was frightened and flew away. At the sight of the ice wolf king, the flame bird shouted discontentedly, as if complaining that the ice wolf king had woken it up.

Seeing that the flame bird was frightened by him, the ice wolf king barked showily.

However, facing the ice wolf king of level 2, the flame bird did not retreat. It raised its head, and its chest bulged slightly as if it was accumulating strength.

Pang!

The crisp chirps of the flame bird contained an indescribable majesty.

Puff~

With this cry, the originally majestic ice wolf king suddenly prostrated on the ground. He looked at the flame bird with a trace of fear in his eyes.

Seeing that the ice wolf king was lying on the ground, the flame bird seemed to be proud and raised its little head. Then it returned to the carriage and continued to take a nap.

“It seems that this little guy’s bloodline is unusual.”

Locke said with some exclamation. In magical beasts, the high-level magical beasts had this natural bloodline suppression on the low-level magical beasts.

Locke knew that the flame bird had a special bloodline, but Kotter and the others didn’t know. When they saw the famous level-2 magical beast was frightened by a bird, they were shocked.

After being taught a lesson by the flame bird, the ice wolf king had learned his lesson and had become a follower of the flame bird.

The flame bird sat on the body of the ice wolf king, and the bird and wolf scurried around the territory every day.

At first, the residents of Lister were afraid of the ice wolf king, but gradually they got used to it. Sometimes, they would even share the prey with them.

After returning to Lister, Locke handed over the practice methods of healers to Asclepius. Then he entered the state of practice again.

He had learned all the magic of level 1 that he had brought before and began to learn the magic of level 2 before he went to Bone City.

He only had three books of level 2, one about water magic and two about fire magic. There was so much fire magic. Locke should thank Angus of Black Rock Bandits who contributed a book of the level-2 defensive magic, “Fire Shield”.

As for Bone City, even the level-2 mage, there was only castellan, let alone the level-2 magic books. There was only one book in Treasure Pavilion, which was level-2 fire magic, “The Flame Gun” that Locke had stored.

A day passed quickly.

In Bone City, a knight in Grace’s family clothes entered Treasure Pavilion.

“Ferguson pays my respects to Miss Grace.”

After saluting, Ferguson reported, “According to the news from the family, the level-3 dark mage of the Brandon family, Bulwer, and several level-2 practitioners used the teleportation site to arrive at Ramsey City. According to the direction they are heading, their destination should be Lister.”

“Wesley, it’s him!”

Hearing this man, Raphael behind Rosaline became a little serious. She was no match for Bulwer.

Rosaline’s face darkened and said slowly, “It seems that father is right. The Brandon family must have something to do with the bandits here.”

As she spoke, a trace of doubt flashed through Rosaline’s eyes. “Even if Locke has touched the interests of the Brandon family, the Brandon family shouldn’t have sent such a powerful force.”

“Did they already know that Locke had hidden the things about magic talent and wanted to nip the danger in the bud?”

According to Rosaline’s conjecture, the rumor of the caravan was very likely to be true, and the nearby bandits might have been eliminated by Locke. Although Locke was only a level-1 mage, it was not ruled out that there were some powerful practitioners behind him.

However, the level-2 mage was not that powerful in bandits. After all, the truly powerful and highly talented mage was not reduced to being a bandit.

So although he was able to assist Locke in defeating the bandits, this practitioner should not be powerful enough to face a peak level-3 dark mage, and basically would not have any chance of winning.

After thinking for a while, Rosaline ordered, “You go to Lister now. You must tell Locke the situation before the people of the Brandon family arrive. Let him go to the Grace family. The Grace family can protect him.”

“Yes, Miss Grace!”

Ferguson nodded.

After Ferguson left, Raphael couldn’t help saying, “Miss, protecting Locke means that we will have a direct conflict with the Brandon family.”

For so many years, the Grace family had been neutral and rarely participated in the family fights in the county town.

“The fight in the county town, in the end, which can really stay out of it?”

Rosaline sighed as if she was talking to herself.

Three hours later, Ferguson arrived at Lister.

Was this Lister?

Ferguson looked at the environment of Lister and was a little surprised. It seemed that it was not as bad as it was said.

After sighing, he didn’t waste time. He shouted and rode towards Lister.

At the same time.

“Howl!”

A horrible wolf howl was heard, mixed with the unique cruelty of the magical beast.

Hiss~ Hiss~

The black horse under Ferguson roared and its front hooves jumped high. It came to a sudden stop and almost threw him out.

‘Damn it! This aura is at least the magical beast of level 2!’

Sensing the fury in front of him, Ferguson’s face darkened slightly. Did Lister get attacked by the level-2 magical beast? But judging from the surrounding situation, it didn’t look like that!

Although he was extremely surprised, he quickly took out his weapon and was ready to deal with the attack of the magical beast at any time.

A huge silver figure had appeared not far away from him.

The ice wolf of level 2!

Ferguson’s face darkened more at the sight of the ice wolf king. Although both of them were level 2, he was definitely not a match for the ice wolf!

However, what confused him was that the ice wolf didn’t attack immediately, but stared at him with greedy eyes, showing no intention of attacking. There seemed to be a familiar red bird on the head of the ice wolf.t

A few more people appeared behind the ice wolf king.

While the ice wolf was jumping happily as if asking for credit.

“Who are you?”

After comforting the ice wolf king, Kerton looked at Ferguson and asked coldly.

The ice wolf didn’t attack them but looked very friendly. Did… Did Lister keep a level-2 magical beast!

Seeing this scene, Ferguson felt that he was in a trance. There were few level-2 magical beasts in the Grace family.

“I’m a knight from the Grace family. I have something urgent to tell Mr. Capet.”

Ferguson took a deep breath and suppressed his astonishment in his mind. He didn’t beat around the bush and show his intention directly.

Grace family?

Kerton was a little stunned. He also knew something about Locke at Bone City. He asked others to put down their weapons. Seeing that the other party was very anxious, he didn’t dare to neglect him and said, “Come with me.”

When Locke knew the knight of the Grace family came, he was a little surprised.

Ferguson bowed and said, “Mr. Capet, we have received the news that the Brandon family has sent a level-3 dark mage and more than 10 level-2 practitioners. Now they are coming to Lister.”

“Miss Grace asked me to take you to the Grace family. As long as you come to the Grace family, even the Brandon family can’t do anything.”

Finally, the guard was with some pride on his face. The Grace family was one of the few families in Naton County that could compete with the Brandon family.

“I see. Thank Miss Grace for me.”

Just over? Hearing Locke’s words, the guard was stunned. Shouldn’t Locke look flustered and follow him to escape from Lister and go to the Grace family?

Why didn’t Locke change his expression and take it seriously?

Moreover, even these guards seemed to be only slightly surprised. They didn’t panic at all?

Locke’s eyes darkened, with a hint of killing intent flashing in them. He turned his head and said to Kotter, “Uncle Kotter, ask the residents of Lister to hide well. Everyone retreats to the castle and prepares for the battle.”

“Okay, Master Locke.”

Kotter nodded his head and turned to go out. After so many battles, he already had unconditional trust in Locke.

Were these people crazy!

They even wanted to fight against a powerful level-3 mage and more than 10 level-2 practitioners! Weren’t they going to die?

Now, he felt that Locke was a little arrogant.

“Mr. Capet, don’t you hear it clearly? This is a level-3 mage and more than 10 level-2 practitioners. You can’t resist them at all.”

Ferguson took a deep breath and tried to persuade him again, “You should survive first to strengthen your power. With your talent, you will become a powerful mage sooner or later. Why do you lose your life in vain?”

Locke smiled faintly, looked into the distance, and shook his head. “It’s too late.”

Too late?

Ferguson didn’t understand what Locke meant.

The next moment, his face changed and he finally understood the meaning of Locke’s words.

The enemies had come!
