Ten minutes later.

At the door of an open-air afternoon tea shop in Nuanhuo City, Barbara, Lea and Andrew sat down.

Outside a pastry shop across the street, Ivan also sat down and looked alert.

The afternoon sun shines, warm but not dazzling.

On the street paved with light gray turn, pedestrians come and go, and from time to time, naughty children fly over the sky on an aircraft. The parents of the children behind them are chasing: "Stop! Stop, do you hear it? This is not something for a child as old as you ride!"

The waiter from the afternoon tea shop came forward enthusiastically and asked, "What do you need to order?"

——The peaceful scene of such a time-honored scene, and I never thought about it before, let alone seeing it in other parts of the flame world!

If a big city like the Liuhuo Holy Shield and Qilan City "stands to normal city operation" under the shadow that still exists after the end of the Battle of Double Fire, then this Warm Fire City looks like a paradise. You don't know what the Battle of Double Fire is, and you are completely unaffected by the war!

But Andrew could not help frowning and realized that as Leah and Barbara said, there was really something wrong.

Ivan from the pastry shop opposite, and his eyes were as alert as a human-shaped tiger.

Although Barbara and Lea haven't said specifically what went wrong, Andrew and Ivan have already felt something is wrong with the atmosphere.

The city is indeed lively, peaceful and full of vitality.

But no one talked to Barbara.

Andrew thought to himself that no one knew him, which was normal.

But no one paid attention to Barbara, which was abnormal.

Especially the waiter at the afternoon tea shop clearly saw Barbara, but his face changed slightly when he saw Barbara. Then when he said "I need to order something", he only looked at Leah throughout the whole process, and the orders were ordered by Leah. The waiter gave Barbara a drink, but he did not have any eye contact with Barbara any longer.

"That is, the waiter recognized Barbara--just because he recognized who Barbara was, he didn't dare to talk to her?"

Andrew saw this scene in his eyes.

I couldn't help but say: What's going on? What's going on?

As the third lady in the Warm City, why did Barbara suffer such treatment after returning to home and returning home?

My thoughts couldn't help but move slightly. The third-level water magic that had just broken through the ten-fold increase, quietly activated, urging the "water inspiration" to stretch the invisible sensory tentacles around, and Andrew also added two perception water magic to it as a supplement.

One of them is the first-level "water sensitivity", which can improve one's sensitivity to external information and its ability to resolve information in a short period of time.

The other is a rather unpopular "emotional rendering" in third-level magic, which can use a "magic rendering" method to exude the emotions in people, and make the emotions more conspicuous from Andrew's perspective.

These two magics are attached to the "water inspiration" with the "enchanting finger".

After the battle with the female assassin, Andrew did quietly raise a big step in actual combat and magic use. With the enchant finger, he used the technique of using different levels, even different series of magic and magic to use, and he became more and more confident when taking action.

In this way, under the combination of three different perceptual water magic, Andrew indeed noticed more details that are easily overlooked in the seemingly peaceful scene-

Not only the waiter, but many other people on the street should know Barbara, but they didn't dare to talk to Barbara.

In this regard, Barbara herself seemed to know that the girl's face was as normal on the surface, but there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

"This is really something wrong." Ivan sent a message. He actually woke up from his injury and coma for not long. He knew no more than Andrew who had been in a coma for three days.

"Don't worry, let's hear what Barbara and Leah say first." Andrew replied in a voice transmission.

At the same time, he reached out from under the table and held Barbara's hand.

If it were Barbara's perspective, Andrew had been unconscious in the past three days, and she herself seemed to have suffered some kind of cold violence from everyone in the entire Warm City.

Andrew thought to himself that in this warm fire city, there are only a few people who are like this for Barbara - only one of Barbara's own biological parents can do it, right? Looking at Barbara's slightly pale face, Andrew felt a little distressed!

However, water magic is very good at making people calm, but in terms of warming people's hearts, it is not as warm as Barbara's own practice of fire.

Andrew didn't want to backfire, so he simply held Barbara's hand to show comfort.

"Thank you, I'm fine."

Barbara squeezed out a smile, calmed down, and said slowly, "That's right. After my elder sister was born due to an accident, the relationship between my father and my mother cooled down sharply, and the chamber of commerce has since been divided into two groups - I believe that you know this on the way to come, and you have heard of it."

Andrew calmed down and nodded, "I've heard of some."

In fact, Barbara mentioned it on the eve of her departure when she was in the wildfire. She had an accident and left Javier, who had not been born for a long time, and that accident seemed to have something to do with Barbara, who was still young at that time.

After that accident, Barbara's mother kept blaming Barbara, and Barbara's father thought that the child was not wrong and that Barbara should not be blamed for the death of her eldest daughter. It was precisely because of this incident that the couple had a big quarrel that ended up turning into a cold war. The Chamber of Commerce was divided into two factions: the president and the wife.

"So the cold violence Barbara is treated now because of her mother..." Andrew thought.

Sure enough, Barbara whispered: "At present, my mother is basically responsible for all the affairs in the city. But she... is a little uncomfortable to talk to."

Maybe he didn't want to say that his mother was not. Barbara's statement was very tactful, just an understatement of "It's not easy to talk to."

Andrew was so wise in his heart: This so-called "not easy to talk about" is probably really hard to say, very hard to say, and hard to say!

The evidence is that when Barbara said, "Mother is not easy to talk to", Lea subconsciously shrank her neck, and a trace of fear in her eyes could not help but reveal her eyes!

Barbara continued: "In the past three days, I have not had the chance to see my mother yet. She...she hasn't seen me. Andrew, you saved me, come with me to Warm Fire City, at the top of our Chamber of Commerce, even if I recommend you, my mother has been complaining about me over the years, and with you, the wildfire lord, recommended by me,..."

She didn't continue talking.

Andrew basically understood.

"So what I still feel is that the forces that are not friendly to me from the Warm Fire Chamber of Commerce - whether it is Javier, or the women whom Jimmy, the deceased city guard of the Fire Shield, sent to monitor me - are actually from Barbara's mother's sect?"

Andrew thought to himself that he had thought things too simple before.

I thought that this faction of unfriendliness to it was more out of being more of a "taken over and incorporating" attitude towards the wildfire leader he led, so I deliberately took on a strong attitude.

Now it seems that the Warm Fire Chamber of Commerce is a family-like force after all, and the internal "human favors" components are much more than I expected.

The wife of the Chamber of Commerce President, Barbara's mother's faction, was not only because of the "business" about the Wildfire Leader, but also because of "private goods"!

"The problem is, Barbara is her daughter after all. Her daughter was in danger of her life outside. She finally went home and it would be fine if she didn't see her. She also asked everyone in the city to show Barbara's face. Barbara is cold and violent. What... is this? Is it necessary?!"

Andrew resisted and did not reveal his thoughts.

He asked, "What about your father?"

I thought to myself that if my mother doesn’t love her, my father will always feel her.

Since my mother is not easy to talk to, I can talk to my father!

But Barbara said: "My father was seriously injured in the Battle of Double Fire and had to go into seclusion and recuperate.

Three days ago, the female assassin suddenly attacked the Flowing Holy Shield. His father woke up from his dormancy in advance and hit the female assassin. Although he severely injured the female assassin, his father himself had to fall into dormancy again. It may take longer to deal with the injury."

Andrew couldn't help feeling helpless when he heard this, and at the same time he felt a little relieved.

It seems that my father is still standing on his daughter's side, so that's fine.

Now that Barbara's mother is so heartless, I'm afraid there is also the reason why Barbara's father cannot come out of seclusion to take charge of the overall situation.

"Where...what is that Spear Knight Peter?"

On the way Andrew came, he had heard more than once that Peter, the first knight of the Warm Chamber of Commerce and the second master, and that of Peter, who was also the second master. "You Warm Chamber of Commerce, the best defender, was the fastest knight during Jimmy's lifetime, your second sister, the strongest attacker, and your father's right-hand man. That's Peter? I can talk to him."

This time, Leah shook her head: "Uncle Peter is on the front line and has no background at all. Especially, Uncle Jimmy was assassinated and died three days ago, and the rear was shaken. The situation on the front line is said to be even more severe. Uncle Peter is under great pressure now."

Andrew thought for a while and refused to give up: "Where is Grandpa Falke?"

Lea still shook her head: "Like the president, she is also in seclusion and recuperating. In addition, Grandpa Falke is actually not very publicly involved in the conflict between the president and his wife, although he is secretly standing on the president's side..."

"Where is Barbara's second sister?" Andrew suddenly thought, "Which side is that person?"

"Second sister is a peacemaker." Barbara rarely smiled when she said that of her second sister, "In fact, my parents can barely maintain a superficial peace that is not quarrel over the years, and it depends on the help of the second sister to talk nice things between the two. If she were there, of course she could help.

But her second sister is now the queen of Wang Ting, and Wang Ting's king... is not a very capable person.

My second sister sent me a message this morning, saying that she was about to die of busyness and told me not to look for her soon. During the Double Fire War, she was actually responsible for a lot of royal affairs and secretly took on a lot of pressure from the Magic Guild for our Chamber of Commerce.

Now that the war is over, my second sister is busy organizing a post-war negotiation between our Chamber of Commerce and the Magic Guild. I hope both sides can sit down and have a good talk, the location is in the royal court.”

Hearing this, Andrew's mouth could no longer help but twitch slightly.
