The early winter morning sun is like a warm man, helping you to drive away the cold while not burning your skin.

Phil slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was a familiar ceiling. Phil immediately recognized it. This was his bedroom.

"I'm going home? I'm not dead? Pandragorn didn't occupy my body? Am I dreaming?" Phil turned his head subconsciously, and then saw the old face of Old Harry.

"Young Master, are you awake?" Old Harry asked with concern.

"Harry, it's really you! Where is Pandragong?" Phil asked immediately.

"Young Master, what are you talking about? What Pandragong?" Old Harry looked confused.

Phil suddenly sat up from the bed and looked around with a vigilant look on his face. After confirming, he did not find Pandragon's figure.

"What the hell is going on? I remember that in the underground hall, Pandragorn killed the priest of the temple and then occupied my body. Why did he get home for no reason?" Phil thought of this and asked, "Harry, how did I come back?"

Old Harry did not answer, but instead asked: "Young Master, what happened to the hot spring villa in the old mountain pass?"

"It's a long story! The Temple launched an attack on the mage tower of the great magician Doug..." Phil began to introduce what happened last night.

Starting from Phil discovering the barrier, to the collapse of the hot spring villa, Phil relied on the robes of Breoni to guarantee his life, and later discovered the underground hall and read the Lava Lord's notebook. The great magician Doug and the people of the temple arrived one after another, and then Phil talked about the appearance of Pandragon.

Hearing this, Old Harry showed an extremely surprised look on his face: "Young Master, I heard it right, are you talking about His Majesty Pandragong?"

"Yes, it's him, but he is a spiritual body. A long time ago, he sealed part of his soul in the scepter of life, and the scepter of life became his horde. When magic power was injected into the scepter of life, his spiritual body would appear." Phil said.

"So it's just a spiritual body!" Old Harry's expression calmed a lot. He knew that the spiritual body could only use spiritual magic attacks, and all spiritual magic attacks were invalid to Phil.

"What does it mean just a spiritual body? That is the spiritual body of Pandragon. The priest of the temple cannot even stop him from his eyes. Pandragon still wants to occupy my body and leave the underground hall! Complete his great cause of resurrection..." Phil said.

"What?" Old Harry asked anxiously.

"I only remember that Pandragon's spiritual body entered my body. I thought I was dead. When I woke up, I was here." Phil answered.

"So that's it." Old Harry had already linked up the causes and consequences of the whole thing.

"Pandragorn is absolutely perfect, but he can't count the true identity of the young master. Even if he is Pandragorn, if he wants to occupy the young master's body with his spiritual body, it is still a death-seeking act!" Old Harry said in his heart.

Phil asked, "Harry, how did I come back?"

"I found you in the wheat fields outside the city." Old Harry continued, "I heard that something happened in the hot spring villa in the old mountain pass, so I immediately ran out of the city to find you. But I found you fainted in the wheat fields halfway, so I brought you back. I thought you escaped from the old mountain pass."

Old Harry did not intend to reveal his identity as a titled magician, nor did he tell Phil the truth about the matter.

"The wheat fields outside the city? How did I come from the underground hall to the wheat fields outside the city? And I have to pass through the barrier of the temple!" Phil scratched his head, then said, "Is it Pandragong who brought me out?"

"It must be like this. After Pandragorn used your body and found a better body on the way, he threw you in place. He took over that better body." Old Harry nodded frequently.

For Old Harry, it would be better to have Pandragon take the blame for him.

"Have you ever asked what happened to the old mountain pass? Is the barrier of the temple still there?" Phil continued.

"Young Master, I'm about to tell you about this. When I heard in the city that something happened in the old mountain pass hot spring villa, there was no barrier there. The sheriff of the court had already rushed over and said that no living person was found!"

Old Harry's words were half true and half false. Of course, the first half of the sentence was a lie, but when the sheriff arrived at the Hot Spring Villa, there was indeed no living person.

"That's natural. The temple does not want outsiders to know what's happening in the barrier, so they will inevitably kill people to silence them." Phil said.

"In addition, the sheriff did not find the people in the temple, including the corpses of the six priests you mentioned. In addition, even the corpses of the Great Magician Doug were not found." Old Harry continued.

Phil nodded: "That means that the people in the temple have cleaned up the scene before leaving. It is estimated that the body of the Great Magician Doug was also taken away by the temple."

Speaking of this, Phil's expression suddenly became nervous. He said, "Harry, in this way, I am the only living occupant in the Old Mountain Pass Hot Spring Villa. If the temple knew that I was also in the barrier at that time, I would definitely kill me to silence me!"

"What the young master said is, so don't mention it to others. You were in Hot Spring Villa last night! Since all the people in Hot Spring Villa have died, at least the young master doesn't say anything to the public, no one knows where you were at that time." Old Harry paused and continued, "Fortunately, when I found you in the wheat field outside the city, there was no one around."

"No, some people know that my two bodyguards escorted me to the Hot Spring Villa, and they know I was there yesterday," Phil said.

"Don't worry, young master, I will withdraw some money immediately and ban them." Old Harry said, taking out the scepter of life from his arms.

"Master, I found this thing at the place where you fainted. I checked it. This is a very powerful natural wand." Old Harry said.

"Put down that thing quickly, that is the Scepter of Life, it is Pandragon's Horcrux. Pandragon might still be inside!" Phil exclaimed.

"Young Master, don't worry, I have injected magic into it, and Pandragorn is not inside. Now this is just a powerful magic wand." Old Harry handed the scepter of life to Phil's hand: "This wand belongs to you, Master!"

...

The fact that the Hot Spring Villa became a ruin caused a huge sensation in Ashes City. Since the body of Doug's great magician was not found at the scene, several different versions of the Hot Spring Villa incident were derived.

There are rumors that the Doug Magician has escaped when attacked by enemies; some say that the Doug Magician has fought until the last moment, and his life and death are uncertain; of course, some say that the Doug Magician is dead.

Various rumors gradually turned into bizarre stories and were circulated in the Ashes City.

However, people with a little bit of brains know that they dare to attack the Mage Tower and succeed, which is definitely not something that ordinary forces can do. In the Ashes City, only the referee and the Temple have this ability. The referee only learned about this later, so the one who attacked the Mage Tower must be the Temple.

Recalling the period when people involved in large forces like the temple, those who can guess the truth chose to shut up, so all kinds of strange rumors on the market are popular.

A carriage slowly stopped outside the ruins of the Hot Spring Villa, and three people got off the carriage. The leader was a young man less than 30 years old. Next to the young man was a strong man and an old man.

Dred, the head of the Ashes City Court, had already been waiting there. After seeing the young man, he immediately walked forward and said with a respectful look: "Sir Mario, I have been waiting here for a long time."
