Chapter 464: Sage of the North

When Ethan saw Nicole holding the beetle, he knew things were going to get bad, so he quickly picked up Nicole and took Angelina out of the room.

When he got to the corridor, he asked, "How did this thing end up in Nicole's hands?"

Angelina smiled bitterly, "I just asked Lili, and she said that you made too much noise when you came back, and woke Nicole up.

You know, once Nicole wakes up, she won't go to sleep unless she plays until she's exhausted.

So, Lili had to carry Nicole out for a walk, and someone happened to give her Aphrodite's bag for safekeeping.

Lili coaxed Nicole and had no time to deal with it, so she just put it on the sofa.

Then Pete was also woken up at this time, and kept crying, so she could only hand Nicole over to someone else to watch.

When she came back with Pete, she found that Nicole was already playing with the beetle.

Lili knew that this thing belonged to Aphrodite, and she wanted to put it back.

But you know, if you want to take something away from Nicole, she will cry until her voice is hoarse.

Lili had no choice but to follow her.

The result... is like this."

After hearing this, Ethan was really amused and scolded Nicole.

"Oh my, you are really my precious daughter. You don't sleep at night and get up to destroy things.

This is someone else's stuff. How can you take it without permission?

This is very rude, you know?"

Nicole was just over one year old, so of course she understood what Ethan was saying.

But she seemed to understand that Ethan told her not to take other people's things, so she threw the beetle out with both hands, and then grabbed Ethan's big beard, calling "Daddy, Daddy" non-stop.

And just as she threw it out, Ethan caught the beetle quickly.

Then he took a closer look at the beetle, which looked a bit like porcelain. It was probably thrown around by Nicole, and it was already full of cracks. I don't know if it can still be used.

Ethan wanted to take it to Aphrodite to see, so he sent Nicole back to Angelina, but Nicole grabbed his beard tightly and refused to let go.

Ethan had no choice but to try to take her little hand away, but as soon as he moved, Nicole's face was covered with clouds, and then she burst into tears.

Whenever Nicole cried, Ethan had a headache.

He took care of this daughter every day, and he knew her temper too well. Once Nicole cried, she would cry endlessly.

She would only stop if he took her out to play, such as flying in the sky or going out for a walk.

In short, when she cried, it meant: she couldn't stay in this house for a moment, you can do it yourself!

Ethan had no choice but to hold her and take a walk downstairs.

It took a lot of effort to coax Nicole to sleep.

It was only at this time that he took the beetle to find Afulian.

"Is this still useful?" Ethan asked as he handed the beetle to Afulian.

Because Afulian was seriously injured and had no strength in her hands, Ethan could only put the beetle by the bed.

Afulian glanced at the beetle and her eyes were red.

He said unhappily: "Do you think it can still be used?"

Ethan was in the wrong, so he could only smile awkwardly: "What is this, do you have any more?"

"This is called [Rumor Beetle]. The teacher only gave me one. If it breaks, it will be gone."

"[Rumor Beetle]?" Ethan heard the name and felt a sense of joy for some reason: "Can you find your teacher with this thing?"

"It is made of fragments of [The Book of Rumor], which can locate [The Book of Rumor]. In fact, not only [The Book of Rumor], but all the Seven Sins artifacts can be located.

Now it is broken, I can no longer find my teacher." After saying that, Afulian stared at [Rumor Beetle] in frustration, with sadness in her eyes.

At this moment, Ethan's heart was more complicated. On the one hand, he was secretly worried because he could no longer find [The Fraudster].

On the other hand, he was secretly happy because he learned that [The Fraudster] was controlled by someone and could no longer cause damage.

At the same time, he was worried that the person who held [The Fraudster] hostage would have some big conspiracy, and he was uneasy.

"It seems that we still need to find out the purpose of that person. If he doesn't want to cause trouble, let him go!" Ethan made a decision in his heart.

The next day, after Ethan dealt with the bank's affairs, he invited Nolan to visit his home.

The two played a few games first, and then compared their daughters with each other. Then Ethan asked about the defected sage.

When Nolan saw Ethan suddenly asking about this, his face suddenly became a little ugly, and he asked: "It's been so long, why are you suddenly concerned about the sage again?"

Ethan would not tell Nolan the real reason, but just replied casually:

"There has been no news from [The Fraudster], and I am worried that he is holding back some bad tricks.

Especially since my business has been expanding recently, I am more worried that he will come to make trouble.

And since the sage is his ally, I have to be on guard.

I only paid attention to [The Fraudster] before and forgot about him. Today I suddenly remembered him and asked about him."

"Oh my!" Nolan smiled evilly: "You are not honest!

As soon as I heard you say that, I knew you were fooling me.

Tell me, what happened?"

"Okay!" Ethan spread his hands and said: "I found clues about [The Fraudster] and I am preparing to take action recently, so... you know."

Nolan frowned when he heard it: "Are you serious?"

"What are you doubting?" Ethan asked in confusion: "Forget it! No matter what you are doubting, please tell me the information about the sage. This is very important."

Nolan straightened his face, recalled for a while, and said:

"The sage is my great-grandfather's adopted son, named Valejo, and he usually uses ice magic..."

Nolan had just said a little bit when Catherine's voice came to Ethan's ears: "He is lying."

When Ethan heard this, his heart sank, and he didn't understand why Nolan lied about this matter.

However, there was no expression on his face, and he continued to listen to Nolan's introduction.

"And the power of rules he controls is also the ice rule..."

When Nolan said this, Catherine's voice sounded again: "He is still lying."

"Because he usually stays at home, even we don't know his temperament very well."

"Lying again!"

"Besides, he didn't have any abnormal behavior before the accident, so we didn't find out until a month after the accident."

"All lies!"

"I'm very sorry about this.

Now that you have news about the [Fraudster], why not let us handle it."

Ethan listened to everything calmly, and his heart became more and more confused.

He really didn't understand why Nolan's introduction to the sage was so brief, as if saying one more word would be life-threatening.

The most important thing is that it's okay to introduce so little, but there's not a single true word.

What does he want to do?

What big secret is involved in the sage, so he can't say it?

Although he knew that Nolan was lying, Ethan didn't expose him. After expressing a little gratitude, he didn't mention it again.

Then the two continued to enjoy themselves and compared their daughters.

After a wonderful day and seeing Nolan off, Ethan wrote a letter to Rand in the Northern Territory and asked Super Eagle to deliver it urgently...
