After taking care of the demons that plague the area, Charlotte and her disciples spend the day resting in the deserted village.

Before falling asleep, Charlotte activated a special teleportation device to express her concerns to Sylvia, who was far away in the outer lands. After a long information connection, Sylvia finally appeared on the virtual screen. As Sylvia moves farther and farther away from the world of Stee, it becomes more and more difficult to connect with each other. But luckily, this time the connection was finally established.

"I see. ”

On the other side of the virtual screen, Sylvia in a pink dress stood on a cliff, her long golden hair was curled with a simple hairpin, and the wind blew the thin long skirt, and the close-fitting clothing set off her slender and delicate figure.

She held the cherry blossom umbrella, and from the occasional mist outside the umbrella, it could be deduced that it was a strange sea. The sky was blue, and the world in which the Lord of Illusions lived was clearly still daytime.

Sylvia wasn't surprised by this, as the Root King, she seemed to have anticipated the weakening of Stee's inhibitions.

"We still have time, don't we? The first priority is to find Edwin, the Lord of the Stars, who I always think is plotting something in the shadows. ”

"What will he be planning? For now, his concealment of the fate line is obviously very helpful to me and Aven. ”

Sylvia's ice-blue eyes were full of meaning, "It's not necessarily a friend who helps you, Charlotte. ”

- Okay!

Charlotte shrugged at the virtual screen, acknowledging Sylvia's judgment.

"Does that sister have any message from him?"

"Not yet, he's cautious, I think he's out of the world. ”

"Need me to help you with Destiny Coins......"

"No!" Sylvia's voice raised several degrees, "you'd better touch that thing less, and don't forget how Heywood died." ”

- He died because he missed Vivien Leigh!

But Charlotte couldn't explain it. Otherwise, with Sylvia's excessive concern for herself, it is very likely that she will do something unfavorable to Vivien Leigh.

“…… I know. Deliberately hiding Sylvia made Charlotte look away with guilt.

"Do you have something to hide from me?"

"No!, why do you think that!?" Charlotte quickly denied, and snorted at Sylvia's suspicious gaze, "Then again, if you really find the city of Ivadeo in the sky, sister, don't be too impulsive! ”

Even through the screen, Sylvia's ice-blue eyes seemed to be able to see through Charlotte's thoughts. She paused for a few seconds before slowly nodding.

"Don't worry, although the prophecy department is the nemesis of the illusion department, that junior can't threaten me yet. ”

The conversation ended, and Charlotte wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and fell asleep with worries about the future. To be honest, he's a little scared to face Vivien Leigh right now......

In a certain world in the multiverse, Sylvia, standing on a cliff by the sea, looks thoughtfully at the horizon of the sea and sky.

“…… Fate's Coin had an effect on him. Sylvia held an umbrella, her eyes seemed to be burning with ice blue flames, "I thought Lu Sien was the biggest threat, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was Heywood who had the most impact on him." ”

"Meow!" the dream elf licked the cat's paw, perhaps thinking of itself as a cat, "but you have to admit that Heywood's formula for analyzing all things does have magical powers. ”

"It's going to hurt Charlotte. Sylvia's voice was cold, "That formula can't make him achieve the roots, winter is coming, and we don't have much time left." ”

"Please, you're in a bad situation right now, you know?" the dream goblin lazily nodded to the core, "You just don't want him to leave you, but you have to admit that he's no longer the kid who didn't know anything but arrogance and stupidity." ”

Sylvia turned, her high-heeled sandals, her sparkling feet seemingly unintentionally stepping on the tail of the dreamy fairy, and Sylvia's knuckles as she held her umbrella turned white as the latter wailed.

If Heywood were still alive, Sylvia swore that she would crush the madman to ashes with her own hands.

She would never allow anyone to work against Charlotte, nor would she ever allow anyone to lead Charlotte down the wrong path.

Never allowed!

- Maybe I should do something......

The next day, Charlotte, who was not sleeping well, was woken up by the boisterous sounds of Lolita and Elle.

Since cutting off Lu Sien's soul, he is always prone to heart palpitations and other conditions, which is the sequelae of soul cutting, although it has been alleviated a lot recently, but it still has a certain impact on him.

"We can go to the city for a big meal today!, right?" As she walked along the way, El, who had developed into a foodie, couldn't wait to confirm Charlotte.

Charlotte, who was on the horse, looked up in confusion, and it took a while for him to react, "Yes, I promised you. ”

Recently, he has always been distracted, and the third daughter is no longer surprised by his situation.

"Oh yes!" said Elle, who jumped three feet in front of Lolita's horse, snorting in surprise, "This is amazing, I'm going to have crepes, cream cakes, smoothies, and ......."

"There's no way those things are good or bad! This isn't Icewind Castle!" Lolita scrambled to soothe the reins, complaining, but looking in a good mood just as well.

At this time, they were already close to the official road, and since they had decided to enter the city, the deliberate deviation from the official road was meaningless.

Lolita and Elle were jogging at each other on their horses, and the frightened horses snorted uneasily. The former argues with the stupid girl and comforts the mount, only to find that such actions are useless. It wasn't until Vivien let out a suppressed exclamation that the two noisy guys realized that the atmosphere was wrong.

The two of them looked at Vivian's trembling pupils, and saw several corpses hanging on a crooked-necked tree not far from the official road.

The corpses were strangled around their necks and fluttered in the air, and the flies buzzed around the corpses, their tongues sticking out, their eyes round and frightened. If you look closely, you will see that their fingernails are covered in blood, and their throats are covered in bruises and scratches.

They were hanged alive, which is why they showed that hideous and fearful expression.

"That's—that's ...... Those guys from last night!"

Lolita identified them from one of the corpses, the one hanging from the outermost side of the corpse that was the leader of the hungry people in the camp last night. One hand was still stuck in the rough hemp rope, the other was hanging weakly by his side, and one of the straw sandals on his feet had fallen off, revealing a mess of blood on the outside of his trousers, the result of struggling to kick before he died.

The messy turf beside the trees was torn and littered with women's underwear, and it was clear that the hungry who weren't hanged didn't end much better.

A messy line of words was carved into the crooked neck tree, on which were written six crooked generic characters: 'Death to those who flee the territory'.

These hungry people fled the demon-infested village for their lives, even at the cost of food, but they never imagined that after being captured by the Hocente army, they would be hanged on the spot as a negative teaching material or used as slaves.

Charlotte was silent for a long time before he turned his horse's head and said sullenly, "Let's go." ”

Charlotte had no intention of avenging them, and he didn't know what to make of the starving people's tragic end, which was probably the end they deserved. But compared to them, the invaders of Horcente were clearly more odious.

The lions who are high up in the sky don't care if the sheep live or die!
