Chapter 35: The Betrayer and the Betrayer
"You're here. With a cold gaze, facing Charlotte who came to fulfill the promise, Daphne was like a stranger who didn't know each other, "When are we leaving?"
Charlotte paused slightly, but quickly adjusted her mentality, and replied in a businesslike tone, "The sooner the better, is there anything else you need to prepare over there?"
Daphne ignored it, and she walked straight out the door. Seeing this, Charlotte did not hesitate to follow with the followers of the Secret Rite.
The two groups of people walked up the natural stairs of the Elven Mother Tree one after the other, because with Devany leading the way, Charlotte and her party did not have to deliberately hide their tracks, and the simple illusion spell was enough to deal with all the interrogations on the road.
The more you go up the stairs of the night, the more and more fireflies appear on the quiet Elven Mother Tree. Charlotte's eyes were like torches, and she could already see that they were not simple insects that emitted fluorescence, but small balls of flesh that danced like baby embryos, which were supposed to be the larvae of a kind of sub-elves, and they were similar to the little goblins, and would help the forest elves manage the environment of the Flower Language Forest.
In the night, the staircase of the mother tree is quiet and peaceful, and the cry of the nightingale and the noise of the insects form the nocturne of the forest, accompanied by the floating and frolicking green fluorescence, making it a beautiful picture of a calm mood.
Approaching the top of the tree, Daphne, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and sighed slightly. Charlotte couldn't bear to urge, and was as quiet as a guard. The followers behind him were also silent like ghosts, quietly waiting for Charlotte's instructions.
"It's a pity that after today, such a night scene may never be seen again. Devine said suddenly.
"I was forced to ...... too"
But before Charlotte could say anything, Daphne moved on. Charlotte sighed inwardly, knowing that no amount of explanation at this time would only be pale and weak, so she followed the stairs and walked up.
He didn't know what kind of torment Devany was enduring at this time.
No matter how long the road is, there will always be an end, and Devany doesn't walk fast, as if she is hoping that Charlotte will turn back before this road. But both sides knew that Charlotte simply couldn't give up.
Two groups walked one after the other onto a large wooden disc that looked like a branch of the Elven Mother Tree. The disc is quietly surrounded by torches, with a prayer shrine in the center, and in contrast to the temple in the city below, the place is simple but has an air of simplicity and sacredness.
Charlotte didn't dare to speak at this time, he had to contain all his magical energy, and the muscles in his body were tense as if facing a natural enemy.
He was self-aware, and it seemed that he had easily defeated Alvira, but at that time he was only facing a clone of a medium-sized god. But after entering Erru next, he will directly enter the kingdom of the powerful god Yvette, and if the other party's true body is discovered, Charlotte will be ten times stronger and unable to escape.
Daphne came to the altar, bowed her head and crossed her hands in prayer gestures to her chest, and divine power began to surge within her body. The Devil's Eye could clearly observe the pale golden divine light wrapping around the shrine like silk, and the shrine responded, suddenly blooming with a dazzling divine light.
Charlotte motioned to her followers to get ready, and the team of seven waited for Earrul's door to open.
Danger!
At this moment, Charlotte's hairs stood on end, and he subconsciously sensed great danger, as if an inexplicable terrifying presence was spying on. He subconsciously looked at the shrine, but the magic eye's excellent dynamic vision allowed him to catch a shadow in the change of vision, which seemed to be suspended outside the altar, but it was extra blurry.
Charlotte didn't have time to take a closer look, because he had already noticed that the divine power of the shrine was about to swell to an incredible level. If you use a metaphor to describe it, it is like boiling water, and the next second it will regurgitate the owner of the kettle.
But at this moment, the divine light that was about to boil suddenly shrank suddenly, and across the infinite void, Charlotte seemed to hear the angry snort of a certain female voice. In the next moment, the world was spinning, Charlotte resisted the urge to make a move, and tried to observe the process of spatial transformation, and soon, he found himself on the shore of a forest lake with the fragrance of birds and flowers.
The time here seems to be very different from that of Staeus, the sun is rising, and the flowers and grass in the meadow are still hanging with dewdrops. Looking up, there was a faint sound of sacred singing lingering on the holy mountain in the distance, and everything here was full of divine power, which made Charlotte feel extremely uncomfortable.
All are fine, except Daphne.
Daphne in front of her froze on the ground, seemingly battered. Charlotte knew that she had arrived in Yvette's kingdom, but she couldn't resist the urge in her heart and rushed forward to support Daphne. At this glance, she found that Daphne had cold sweat on her forehead, and her face was almost transparent.
She stubbornly wanted to push Charlotte away, but at this time, her breath was unstable, and the strength she used was no different from that of ordinary people, and where could she push away Charlotte, who was physically strong. This made Daphne very annoyed, and she turned her head angrily and said, "Get out of here!"
Charlotte would have been foolish if she hadn't guessed what had happened. In an instant, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he knew that if it weren't for Devine's help, he would definitely fall into the trap of the gods, and now he was already a fish on the chopping block, let alone the next plan.
"Daphne, thank you!" Charlotte couldn't think of any words to express her gratitude and guilt at the moment.
Charlotte understands that Daphne's actions have nothing to do with the oath, because Daphne has made a vow to help the two infiltrate Erru, the land of the gods. There was no promise of a certain success in infiltrating without arousing any suspicion. Therefore, she had already completed the content of the oath at the moment of the launching ceremony, and she did not need to bear the consequences of betraying the oath at all.
Charlotte and Claire coerced and seduced this friend who shared life and death, but they didn't know that Daphne also accepted the mission of seducing the two, and how painful and tangled her heart should be when faced with a choice.
But even so, Devine still chose to help Charlotte, who betrayed her friendship, and this affection really made Charlotte embarrassed.
"Get out of here!" said I'd break it off with you!" Devany struggled.
"What about you? What should you do? Now that you have betrayed Him, He will not let you go. ”
"Are you thinking about me now? I don't have to worry about you! Get out of here!" Tears welled up in Daphne's pale golden pupils, "I've become a sinner of the elves, but I'm not going to continue to defect! Get out of !!"
Charlotte had to work harder, but soon, his face changed.
There were violent divine fluctuations in the sacred mountain in the distance, and since Yvette was aware of the fact that outsiders had infiltrated the kingdom of God, this powerful god naturally had a way to search for the direction of the intruder.
Daphne's originally angry face also turned into horror, she immediately took out a crystal bottle from her pocket, and distributed the green leaves in the bottle to Charlotte and the others.
"These are small props left to me by Zoe Sensei, and I used them to hide my breath when I was a child. Wear a pendant and leaves, which are one-time items, and each leaf has a time limit of half an hour. You go south, there's a cave over there that I used to play in when I was a kid. Let's go!"
Zoe again!?
Charlotte didn't have time to think about it, and was about to pull Daphne along, but was pushed away by the latter. At this time, Daphne, who had recovered more or less energy, was like a flying swallow, and jumped to the west in a few ups and downs.
"Damn !!"
When Charlotte understood that he was not acting rashly, he scolded angrily, turned around and ordered, "Follow me!"
No matter how sluggish she is, Charlotte can feel Daphne's heart at this moment. Beauty is heavy, like a heavy mountain pressing on Charlotte's heart.
