Chapter 40: My Sister Can't Be So Bad

It's a strange space. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is no distinction between top and bottom, left and right, and ethereal ribbons of pale white light meandered through the surroundings, like a twisted mirror, reflecting everything here in a distorted and exaggerated shape. Charlotte felt like a fish cruising against the tides, navigating the rivers of time and space.

Truth be told, despite the stunning scenery, Charlotte didn't find it to be a pleasant trip.

Maybe it's a moment, maybe it's a century, but in short, time and space have completely lost their meaning in this tunnel. As Charlotte stepped out of the space, he immediately bent over and let out a sad retching sound.

Claire was no better, the always cold-hearted teenager bent over and covered her mouth, looking as pitiful as a pregnant young woman.

"Hmmm, it's convenient, uh. But I swear I'll never have to travel in this convenient way again. Gott~"

After a pause, Charlotte leaned on her crutches and made the same declaration. Claire didn't say anything, but Charlotte could tell the approval in his emerald green pupils.

"Huh, wolfhound, that's how mages travel. ”

"Yes, yes, you can get to any known place with a bang, super convenient! Of course, if you can grasp the coordinates, otherwise...... Dinah can only tell you regretfully that the outcome will be very tragic. Although there are not many such stupid mages in history, there are actually quite a few. As far as Dinah knew, there was a stupid legendary mage who accidentally got the coordinates of the astral plane, and because of the wrong coordinates, he merged with an ancient tree with a bang......!

Charlotte imagined a deserted forest, with an ancient tree with intertwined roots obscuring the sky. In the shadows, on its old shell bark, which looked like the wrinkles of an old man, a large nodule was growing in it.

If I looked closer, I saw what kind of nodule it was! It was an old face full of wrinkles.

'Young man, can you help me bake a chicken thigh? I haven't eaten a chicken thigh for hundreds of years......

What a terrible brain hole that is! Charlotte shook her head vigorously and expelled her sky-breaking brain hole, and then began to carefully examine her surroundings.

This is a wide and circular space, which is more than 1,000 square meters just by visual inspection.

On the north side, near the wall, a long, beige table in the shape of a circular arc sits there. At one end of the arc, a group of gravitationally defying star maps shimmer with a faint blue glow, and the spheres that make up the star map are either fiery red or pale blue. They are large and small, but no matter which sphere they are, they all revolve around the fireball in the center.

On the other side of the arc, there are several plants that glow like a tide, their stems are flattened and there are no flowers. There is also a slight buzzing sound from time to time, catering to the tide of light.

In the center of the arc lay a few finely crafted quills, and a book with a gilded cover lay quietly. A delicate crystal skull pressed against the spread page, as if it had been used as a bookmark when the original owner left.

Behind the beige table is a wide rectangular pink cowhide bench that is more of a sofa or a bed than a chair. Charlotte noticed that the sky blue blanket was neatly stacked on top of its pink cushions.

At the back of the benches is a transparent glass curtain wall, and when you look out of the curtain wall, you can realize that they should be in a very high position. The sky outside is clear and cloudless, and in the foreground, except for the towers that stand in large and small shapes, most of the rest of the buildings can only see the general outline of the spires of the houses.

Some of the tower-like buildings are pure white and slender like chimneys, others have cornices like the octagonal pavilions in temples, and some are simply like the ice cream cones Charlotte had eaten in her previous life, with a relatively small waist holding a huge sphere.

These decorations and buildings have strange shapes and are full of the taste of black technology. Even in Charlotte's previous life, humans had not figured out how to build such a strange creation.

His mouth opened in an O-shape, and he began to look at the interior of the building in amazement.

In the center of the circular space, there is a strange plant with a canopy that looks like a mushroom. The reason why it is strange is that its branches and leaves are glowing with small amounts of fluorescence. Charlotte curiously approached and took a closer look, only to find that the fluorescent glow came from a group of cute girls with bodies the size of an adult's index finger.

Most of them wore cool clothes made of flower petals or delicate leaves, either emerald green or pink, with two pairs of transparent wings as thin as cicada wings growing behind them. Charlotte curiously tipped on one of them, and before they could touch their delicate bodies, the cute children scattered in astonishment.

Some of them fled to tiny wooden houses in the canopy, small to the point of ingenuity, most of them two-story buildings in the shape of spires, the walls of the first floor were dotted with all kinds of delicate flowers, and every few centimeters, there were small holes in the light to carry fresh air inside. On the second floor, a few small windows were built with flower stems, and a delicate little door made of leaves was opened from the center of the front, and these cute little ones rushed in from here, and then poked their little heads out of the windows made of flower stems, and looked curiously at the strange Charlotte.

As for some of the little ones who are obviously lacking in intelligence, they hide in the sea of flowers under the trees, some of them cover their ears and steal bells and lift a leaf to cover their petite bodies, and some simply hide in the flower bones, and then make a cute "hey" sound, and pull the two sides of the petals together in the middle, hoping to escape Charlotte's prying eyes.

Realizing that these cuties were a little scared, Charlotte looked up in frustration.

"That's a goblin, these children are a little scared, and they will surely get acquainted with you after a while. ”

These were the first words Sylvia said after coming out of the portal. At this moment, she was lying on her side in the bench behind the table, and on either side of the bench, the two sisters Dema and Dinah, dressed in black and white maid outfits, were making tea for her.

Charlotte nodded, continuing to survey her surroundings.

Every 10 meters away in this space, there is a rectangular counter covering an area of about two square meters, and the glass counter is planted with all kinds of rare plants. Charlotte noticed that in the snow berry counter, you can see crystal snowflakes through the transparent glass, and the summer thorn counter can feel a warmth as long as you touch the glass slightly.

In the east corner, a rectangular black wooden table shimmered with pale blue magic runes that flickered and flickered several times every few seconds. This table echoes the round table on the west side, except that the table on the west side is decorated with various utensils and alcohol lamps, and it looks like you are in a chemistry laboratory.

All in all, everything in this room is full of a sense of discord and black technology, which gives Charlotte a perverse sense of mixing magic and technology.

Charlotte, who returned to the beige table, stood with Claire, waiting for the next command from the leisurely Grand Duke of Icewind Castle. As if she didn't realize it, Sylvia reclined in her chair and tasted the black tea in her cup for a long time, until the pale red tea in the cup had bottomed out, and she raised her eyelids slightly.

"Take this, the activation key is the thinker. ”

As always, Sylvia said, tossing the crystal skull on the desk unconcernedly. Charlotte, who was on crutches, hurriedly held it and was about to ask the cheap sister about the role of the skull, when she noticed that the two sisters, Demardina, who were standing behind Sylvia, showed jealous expressions.

"But, damn it! Dynay was unwilling to give the Thinker's Skull to a wolfhound...... It's super what I want!"

"Agreed! This is the ultimate treasure of manipulating magic golems, and it is really a terrible thing to give this wolf dog. ”

Sylvia only glanced at the two maids indifferently, and Dema and Dinah immediately lowered their heads, not daring to make the slightest objection.

Hearing this, although she didn't know exactly what the Thinker's Skull was, it didn't prevent Charlotte from grimacing at the two sisters and holding the crystal skull in her arms with a grin.

"The Thinker's Skull is the work of the puppet master Anthony Neo, and while it is exquisite, it does not possess any powerful spells in itself. It serves two purposes, one is to help the mage control the golem as a terminal processor, so that you don't have to scramble when controlling multiple magic golems, and the other is that it has a constant space inside that allows you to store the golem conveniently. Now there are two golems named Alpha and Omega, two puppets created by Anthony and later modified by me at will. Considering your physical condition, you can use the Alpha Walk to visit the Lower Icewind Castle for these two days. ”

Simply put, it's a computer-like CPU that can help mages perform multi-line control. Although the shape of the skull is really a bit of a complaint, but in terms of practicality, this item is no less than a legendary creation.

"Stay on the fifth floor of the Mage Tower at night, and in two days, I will officially teach you both magic. I have to say, the magic system you learned according to the Book of Etroac is a mess. ”

Sylvia waved her hand coldly and motioned for the two to stand down.

Hearing the title of the two of them in her mouth, Claire was so excited that her whole body trembled slightly. He never imagined that it would be the legendary Three Saints of Annihilation who would teach him magic. He had thought that he would need to be like the rest of the mage apprentices, taking the same classes in the spacious classrooms until he showed a unique talent to find a ladder to ascend.

He gave Charlotte a grateful look, believing that it was Charlotte's plea that made Sylvia look the other way. only to find that this friend who had only known him for a month had a confused expression on his face.

"Wait, wait, it's weird! Isn't my physical condition - terminally ill, not even as good as ordinary people, if you don't treat it yourself for a few years, I'm a waste who can't even learn magic and martial arts?"

"Oh, that's it. That's a lie, your body has been almost better for a long time, and now it's just a period of weakness after the initial recovery from a serious illness. ”

Sylvia uttered something terrible in a cold voice.

"W-what! Then you're still lying like this, I've been removed from the Clayderman family!"

"If you don't, how can that old-fashioned fellow Lawrence agree to you and me studying magic. ”

"Daddy—"

Charlotte struck ORZ with a sad face, and he swore that in that moment, a sly smile flashed across Sylvia's face.
