Chapter 371: The Spell to Change One’s Appearance

“Their goal is precisely what I’m investigating. Of course, other than investigating them, the most important thing is to prevent them from doing anything to destroy Spark City,” Audrey said in a stern tone.

Hearing this, Klein and the others were astonished.

“I didn’t expect you to do such a great thing behind our backs. How could you not bring us along?” Klein deliberately snorted and said this.

“That’s right, you’re too disloyal!” Hobart also ridiculed Audrey jokingly.

“Are you afraid that we’ll drag you down?”

The few of them took turns denouncing Audrey, making her laugh. She shook her head helplessly, she said, “You guys have really improved too much. How could you drag me down? It’s just that you’re all members of the five great clans. This matter involves a lot of things, so I’m afraid of implicating all of you.”

“We’re not afraid of being implicated,” Klein immediately replied. Then, he looked at Hobart and Adrian. The three good brothers immediately came to a consensus that they wanted to participate in this matter together with Audrey.

Audrey naturally had no reason to refuse. She only instructed the three of them to keep this matter a secret.

“We’ve been on a long journey. Everyone, go back and rest,” Adrian said.

Audrey nodded slightly and turned to leave.

However, she did not return to her dormitory. Instead, she left the Knights and returned to her own courtyard. It had been a long time since she had seen her father. After what happened last time, Audrey was really worried.

In the courtyard, Calder was watering the herbs.

Audrey walked over quietly and called out in a low voice, “Father, I’m back.”

“Audrey!” Calder instantly turned around and looked at Audrey with excitement. His heart was filled with indescribable joy. “Why did you suddenly come back?”

“I just came back to see you,” Audrey answered with a smile.

Hearing this, Calder was instantly relieved. He put down the kettle in his hand and led Audrey into the house, asking with concern.

“Father, don’t worry. I’m doing well in the Knights Legion. Don’t worry about me.” Audrey smiled helplessly. Being cared for by her close relatives made her heart feel especially warm.

Calder nodded with relief.

“How have you been as of late?” Audrey had been worried since the Davis family imprisoned Calder last time. The Davis family had no morals for the sake of benefits.

“I’m fine too. I live here and don’t care about any trivial matters. It’s much smoother than before,” Calder said with a kind smile.

The time he had mentioned was when he was the head of the Davis family.

At that time, although he was the head of the Davis family, he was restrained everywhere. He could not even protect his own daughter. Now, he was much freer.

“That’s good.”

The father and daughter chatted for a while. Audrey picked some mature herbs at home and left.

There were many things that needed to be explained to lance during this trip to Herb King Valley.

Thus, Audrey went straight to the City Lord’s mansion.

Shadowless Ghost Hand seemed to have known that she was coming. He had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Audrey coming, he immediately walked up and said in an aged voice, “Miss Audrey, you’re here.”

“Yes, I have something to discuss with the City Lord.” Audrey nodded in response.

“The City Lord is inside.” Shadowless Ghost Hand snorted and led the way.

Audrey did not care about anything else and walked straight in. It was still the same study. Lance seemed to have endless things to deal with, and most of them were sitting in the study.

When Audrey entered, he was also busy with his work. However, he soon sensed the aura of an outsider and looked up.

“I knew you would come.”

“The City Lord is very powerful, so is Shadowless Ghost Hand waiting for me at the door?” Audrey chuckled and teased him as if she was joking. “His cold face isn’t suitable to be a welcome guest.”

Lance chuckled when he heard that. He looked at Audrey with a different meaning.

Although the two of them had not spent much time together, they were like old friends when they met. Lance did not put on any airs, and Audrey was not afraid of his identity as the City Lord.

“I’ll send someone else to fetch you next time.”

“There’s no need. I know the way,” Audrey replied with a smile. Then, she sat opposite Lance and told him about the news of the Carol Association that she had received along the way.

“What did you see that person look like?” Lance asked seriously.

Audrey frowned. She was a little afraid when she thought of the mysterious man’s appearance.

“I only saw half his face, but I’ve never seen him in the Knights. But he’s clearly hiding in the Knights. It’s really puzzling,” Audrey said with a sigh.

As soon as she said that, the Shadowless Ghost Hand had appeared behind her. “There’s no need to be puzzled. There’s a spell that changes one’s appearance. Perhaps it really does exist.”

Change one’s appearance?

Audrey was stunned. She had been an alchemist for many years, but she had never heard of such a spell.

“What does it look like exactly?” Audrey asked curiously.

“It’s probably a potion that can change one’s body shape and appearance.” Shadowless Ghost Hand thought for a moment and said, “I’ve only heard of it. I’ve never seen it before.”

Audrey nodded, and her eyes deepened.

With Shadowless Ghost Hand’s reminder, she seemed to have realized something. The mysterious man was tall and had such a unique appearance. If he was in the Knights Legion, how could he not have been discovered?

Unless he had changed his appearance.
