Charlotte felt like a boulder in her chest, pressing it to the bottom of her heart and not vomiting unpleasantly, but she couldn't vomit anything.

He really wanted to ignore it and use the frost and the Red Lotus Hell to completely destroy these people, but he couldn't do anything.

This aristocratic mage, who was once lawless and felt that everything was under control, seemed to have been drained of his spirit, and his whole person fell into a state of malaise.

Charlotte shook her head at Vivien's surprised and sad eyes, and he felt that all he could do at the moment was leave. This saddened the proud mage, for as he grew older, broadened his horizons, and grew in his abilities, he sadly found that he could not do more and more.

No, that's not accurate. To be precise, it was with the increase of experience and ability that he gradually realized his insignificance.

He- can't do anything!

The atmosphere in the camp was very dreary, except for the middle-aged couple who were hugging and crying, except for the rustle of leaves in the late summer night wind.

Charlotte opened her mouth and said in an ugly voice that was so dry that it looked like pieces of metal scraping against each other, "Let's go." ”

The pathetic and hateful cannibalism was visibly relieved, and as Charlotte walked out of the camp with heavy steps without looking back, she heard Vivien's angry and sad roar of disbelief.

"Why are you doing that! He's your child! He's a living being who cries and laughs—"

This is the first time that a girl with a gentle conversation and a timid nature has roared. Charlotte paused, hearing Vivien's heartbroken and angry curse.

"I curse you, you cannibalistic demons, I curse you, you will be rejected by the gods you believe in, and you will not be accepted into the kingdom of God after death, and you will be reborn as the lowest abyss worms—"

Even if this curse is just a vent and does not carry any mysterious powers, it is the most terrifying and vicious curse for the vast majority of life living in the world of Steeu.

Not being able to enter the kingdom of the gods in which you believe means that the soul will either be tormented in the wall of the unbelievers and finally fall into the vortex of the root to become the most basic energy particles, waiting for the next combined reincarnation.

Or, like Vivien's curse, pulled into the abyss by the power of the abyss, and become an abyssal worm that doesn't know what to think.

This curse is too terrifying for the average human.

In the tent, a man trembled with fear, and his sanity was completely broken, and he rushed to the unguarded Vivian, only to be blown into pieces of flesh by a burst of magic bullets the moment he approached Vivian.

It was Elle who made a move, and she is not human, and she has no psychological burden to kill. Bloody killings and mysterious spells completely broke down the poor group of people who were prone to cannibalism.

The leader and the group of hungry people knelt on the ground, trembling and weeping.

"Mage, great mage, please take back the curse! We are also forced to be helpless, there are demons in the village, the nobles don't care at all, if they can, who would want to do such a thing!"

The wails and begging merged, and the noisy cries startled countless birds in the forest. 'Ahhh

"Do you want me to help you and let them all go to hell at once!" Elle intends to vent her anger at Vivian, although it is more compatible with Lolita's personality, it does not mean that Elle does not like Vivian.

"Don't !!"

Vivien and Lolita tried to stop it, but it was pointless, and Elle was technically half of their teacher.

It was Charlotte who dissuaded Elle, and he patted Vivian and Lolita on the shoulder, the difference in childhood life experiences allowed Lolita to deal with all this a little calmly.

"Let's go. Charlotte took a step, and he felt that he was terrible as a teacher. wanted to comfort the two disciples, but found that even he himself was angry and confused.

The voices behind him begging them to take back the curse continued, and the hungry people who saw El casting the spell mistook Vivien for a vicious curse. Charlotte wasn't going to explain, he thought it was a good idea to let the hungry remnants live in fear, even if they were pitiful, but they had to atone for their evil deeds.

"I'll deal with those demons. ”

Before leaving the camp, the mage had left a way for the hungry to survive.

"They're the devil!"

Starry Night walked on the way to the demon gathering point, and Vivien roared in anger and hatred.

This was the first time Charlotte had seen Vivien so angry, and she had the impression that she always spoke softly and slowly.

Charlotte could understand her indignation.

Even in order to study the connection between memory and soul, he and his good brother Claire have conducted several live experiments, but the targets used are all heinous death row prisoners.

But Charlotte doesn't agree with Vivien, he doesn't think that the hungry people are 'real demons', but what exactly are 'real demons'?

Is it the demons of the abyss who make these hungry people precarious? or the invaders of Hocent, or the nobles from above? or the unbreakable class system? or the intuitive individual power, or some kind of fate and power in the dark?

Charlotte couldn't answer at this point.

He only knew that Vivien's opinion was not correct, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Unable to explain it, it cannot be refuted, and all Charlotte can do is to silently stroke the hair of her disciples as they did when they were young, bringing them insignificant comfort.

At this time, the mages of Icewind Castle did not know that the reason why they would attack the hungry and punish life with morality, justice, and law was because they were male lions, who instinctively preyed on the sheep, but arrogantly demanded that the sheep agree with the concept of the lion.

They are meat eaters, and that comes from the unconsciously arrogant and indifferent of meat eaters.

For the lion and the flock are never of the same kind.

"It's here. ”

Unleashing a spell to detect evil once more, Charlotte stood in the deserted village and pinpointed the demon's location.

The abandoned village was bleak and desolate, and everything was black in the quiet moonlight, as if the Creator had poured black ink on the village.

The uninhabited door was blown by the night wind, and the unlubricated bearings creaked and wailed. The windows that had been in disrepair were leaking everywhere, and the wind through the hall would make a whining sound. There was dark red blood in front of a dilapidated wooden house, and chicken feathers were strewn and dark in the sparse livestock pen.

The village was ghostly, and it was hard to imagine that the hungry people had fled from it in a hurry two days earlier.

On the notice board at the entrance of the village, several yellowed pieces of paper were crackled by the wind, and a piece of unbearable paper was swept by the wind like dark paper to the mage. Charlotte took it and looked at it, and the vague handwriting was faintly visible on the tattered paper.

"Hostend...... Rule...... Warn...... Deliver food within half a month...... Taxation & Military ...... Otherwise......"

Judging from the content, it is nothing more than the invaders asking the villagers to send taxes, otherwise the handwriting behind it is no longer legible, but Charlotte can guess that it is not a good thing to invite someone to drink tea.

Walking up to the sign, there was still some handwriting on the pieces of paper that were about to be blown away. After a cursory glance, Charlotte noticed that there was a relatively well-preserved piece of paper with these words written on it.

"There is a shortage of manpower, and the village threat will be dealt with after the investigation is clear. In addition, pay taxes as soon as possible, otherwise it will be dealt with strictly according to the tax evasion law. ”

They don't care what the villagers want, they only care about what they want.

Vivien saw the signs as well.

The girl, who had been timid and scared, clenched her fists and asked the teacher next to her.

"Teacher, please let me deal with those demons with my own hands!"

Charlotte didn't know what the 'demon' she was referring to, he just nodded lovingly.
