Chapter 463: You are truly my precious daughter

I don’t know if she was moved by Ethan’s words, Afulian’s eyes turned slightly red.

She pursed her lips: "Do you think I will believe you? You humans are all big liars."

Ethan laughed: "Okay, these are irrelevant, you take a rest first, I will come to see you another day."

After that, Ethan stood up and was about to leave.

But at this time, Afulian called him again.

"Wait a minute!"

"Huh?"

Afulian struggled to prop herself up and wanted to sit up and talk.

Ethan saw that she was half dead, so he could only help her.

After sitting down, Afulian panted and said: "Didn’t you say that you would give preferential treatment because of the name Afulian, then can I ask you for a favor?"

Ethan nodded: "If it’s not too much, it should be no problem."

"Then I beg you to save my teacher!"

"Uh..." Ethan couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard it, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"What did you say?"

"Go save my teacher!" Afulian repeated.

Ethan smiled: "I didn't hear it wrong!

If I remember correctly, your teacher just cut off one of your arms not long ago.

If I hadn't left a mark on you, you might be dead now.

The first thing you did when you woke up was to ask me to save your teacher?

Is there something wrong with your brain?

Also, what does your teacher need me to save?"

"I can't explain it to you clearly, anyway, go save my teacher.

If I guess correctly, as long as I see all the relics, my teacher may not be alive!" Afulian said anxiously.

"Uh..." Ethan was confused by Aphrodite's incoherent words: "What do you mean? At least tell me clearly!"

"I don't have time to explain to you, and I can't explain it clearly! Anyway, go save my teacher first!

Where's my bag, where's my bag?

Go get my bag, there's something in it that can help you find my teacher!" Aphrodite's face became paler due to excessive excitement.

Ethan was afraid that something would happen to her, so he comforted her and arranged for someone to get her bag.

After a while, a servant came in with a small leather bag.

Ethan took the bag and asked, "What do you want?"

"Open it first, there's something half the size of a palm, similar to a beetle."

Ethan opened the bag and searched inside.

But he didn't find the thing Aphrodite described, and his face turned cold at that time.

Ethan turned his head to look at the servant who delivered the bag, and asked in a low voice: "Who of you has moved this bag?"

From Ethan's actions and words, the servant knew that the things in the bag must be missing, and also knew that Ethan must be suspicious of her.

You know, stealing the master's things is a serious crime, and you may lose your life at any time. The servant was trembling with fear.

"Lord... Lord, I have never moved the things in the bag."

"Who moved it?"

"I don't know!"

Ethan knew that the other party was telling the truth, so he could only sigh helplessly, and then called Embiid to ask him to find out who did it and get the thing back.

While Embiid was looking for it, he asked Afren: "You said before that you had seen some ruins and your teacher's life was in danger. What does that mean?"

"My teacher was held hostage!"

Ethan heard this and his eyes widened: "Being held hostage as a [Fraudster]?"

"I know you don't believe it, and I can't prove it.

All I can say is that the teacher cut off one of my hands not to kill me, but to save my life.

At that time, there was another person in the cave... He had been hiding in the dark.

Although I don't know who that person is, I can feel his murderous intent.

The teacher pretended to kill me in order to drive me away. My look.

I know you may not believe it, but please think carefully. My teacher is a wise man after all. If he really wants to kill me, why doesn't he use magic but a sword?

And he taught me all these skills. How could I escape from him?

Putting everything together, there is only one possibility, my teacher is controlled.

I am very sure of this.

Although he didn't say a word to me during this meeting, I have been following him for many years. From his eyes, I can see everything.

He told me to run away quickly, the farther the better. "

"She is telling the truth!" Catherine's voice sounded in Ethan's ears at the right time.

Ethan was silent immediately.

Before seeing [The Fraudster] slashing Aphrodite, he thought of countless possibilities, but he never thought it would be like this.

It's ridiculous that [The Fraudster], who has been in power for thousands of years, was held hostage.

What's even more ridiculous is that from Aphrodite's words, it is obvious that he seems to be unable to use magic, which is even more weird.

You know, he is a sage, a sage who masters the rules!

What means can make the power of rules unusable?

And who is the person holding him hostage?

Thinking of this, Ethan immediately remembered the information from the North.

A sage from the North defected, and that person took the [Fraudster] away.

At that time, I only paid attention to the [Fraudster] running away, but I didn’t pay attention to the information of the defected sage.

So, the other person in the cave at that time was the sage from the North?

So how did he control [The Deceiver]?

What's the purpose?

Ethan felt it was necessary to have a good chat with Nolan, but now he still had to ask Aflian about the situation first.

For example, the ruins mentioned before.

Ethan just thought about the ruins, but before he could ask any questions, Catherine jumped out.

"I know! Just ask me. I thought you didn't care about that!"

Ethan then remembered that Catherine had seen the painting before, and asked, "What do you know?"

"It's that mural! That's an incredible thing. It records a... well... maybe it's a ritual!"

"What is maybe? If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. Maybe it is something? Also, what kind of ceremony is that?"

Seeing that Ethan didn't understand anything, Catherine dared to speak so brazenly. She immediately opened her eyes, raised her voice a bit, and replied:

"The mural was incomplete, missing many important parts, and I didn't have time to study it carefully at the time. It's amazing that I could guess that it was a ceremony.

If you don’t understand, don’t jump to conclusions, okay? "

"That is indeed a ritual!" Aflian suddenly interjected.

Seeing Aflian's confirmation, Ethan asked, "What kind of ceremony is that?"

"I don't know what the specific ritual is!" Aflian replied weakly: "However, I know that this ritual requires the Seven Sins Artifact.

And my teacher has been collecting artifacts of the Seven Sins all his life. "

After hearing this, Ethan vaguely felt that there was a big conspiracy here.

Just when he was about to ask again, Angelina came in holding Nicole.

And Nicole was holding a beetle-like toy in her hand, but the toy was seriously damaged, full of cracks, and seemed to be about to fall apart.

When Avlian saw that the beetle was damaged, her face became even paler.

Ethan, on the other hand, was in trouble and couldn't express his pain. He only had one thought in his mind: My dear Nicole, you are really my precious daughter, and you are causing trouble for your old father at such a young age!
