The one hundred and sixteenth Encounter again
Without the entanglement of Nether's red robe, Charlotte, who acts alone, can be called like a fish in water.
Along the way, the soldiers chasing the fugitives pose no threat to Charlotte, who is hidden, and now with the help of the Vientiane Vision's great amplification of illusions, he can also be like a fantasy goblin back then, rampage on the battlefield and make the enemy look no further.
He has a soul connection with Elle, and he is born with the ability to be telepathic. With a slight sense, he ran towards Elle's location, and after only half the distance, he found that without the tracking spell of Nether's red robe, Elle and the others had already escaped from the encirclement.
He made a detour again, avoiding the soldiers who were searching for traces all the way, and chased for nearly an hour, before he could catch up with Elle and the others. After Elle joined them and escaped from them, she seemed to move far away from the center of town and made a large transfer, only to find that Charlotte was about to catch up with them, only to find that it was a slum full of smoky miasma and filth.
The sewage was running down the town, the town's sewer system seemed to be completely ineffective, and when Charlotte came in, someone was washing her feet in the dirty water.
Charlotte had thought she was going to run into some outlaws who were looking for trouble, but things went surprisingly well. The people who were hiding in the corners talking and snickering just looked at him with curious eyes, and had no intention of extorting money.
Skirting the flooded hollow, Charlotte saw several gangster-looking men approaching her, and just when he thought trouble was finally coming to him, the thugs actually saluted him in a nondescript manner.
"Please come with us. ”
"Your disciples are waiting for you there. ”
"With our boss!"
The men were babbling, and they all seemed to want to please themselves. Charlotte was confused, and followed those people around, but she was getting closer and closer to the perceived El.
How did Elbert get involved with this bunch of guys?
Charlotte's doubts grew heavier and heavier, and she saw Elle on tiptoe pacing boredly outside a fairly tidy yard. Saying that it is still neat, it is also relatively speaking, don't you see Al frowning delicate thin eyebrows, looking cautious and disgusted?
The silver-haired girl noticed Charlotte's arrival, and she stood still, with a strange expression that seemed to be distressed, but could not help laughing.
"What about Vivien and Lolita?" Charlotte asked immediately, "with Elbert?"
Elle shook her head.
"What?!" Charlotte's face changed, "Aren't they here?"
"They're fine, they're all in there. El's strange expression grew stronger.
"And what do you mean by that answer?"
"It's strange, isn't it the stupid Charlotte herself who asked me, 'Are you with Elbert?' I replied no, is there any problem with that?" This time, the expression of distress was gone, and the face of the cute young girl was completely full of bitter expression of forced laughter.
"Wait!" Charlotte finally realized what the problem was, "you mean ...... It wasn't Elbert who we just saved?"
Elle finally couldn't help but hug her shoulders and laughed.
"And who the hell are we saving?!!" Charlotte was a little angry, "since it's not Elbert, then why should we get into trouble!"
"That's really sad! Aren't we comrades who once fought side by side?"
The sound of a hippie smile came from the courtyard, and Charlotte followed the sound to see a tall, thin, ordinary-looking young man giggling and pushing the door open.
No, correct it!
Charlotte frowned in disgust.
"Who is this guy?" he asked Elle.
Ai'er was very cooperative, and shook her head ignorantly, "I don't know." It's probably a down-and-out uncle who sells baked cakes at a street stall. ”
"Hey, hey, that's a bit too much, bastard, how can you forget me, I'm the greatest assassin of the century, Uncle Judson Bell!"
"I've never heard of a surname like Uncle Bell. ”
"Are you trying to quarrel? Brother Childe from the frozen mound!"
"Do you want to die once, the stall owner who quacks like a crow!"
Judson was about to rattle, but was stopped by the bearded man coming out of his heels, "That's enough, Judson, it's time to admit that your face is bland, and that's one of your strengths as an Assassin, isn't it?"
"Nonsense! I don't admit that this is an advantage! I am a man who eats by strength, unlike a certain boy, who looks like a girl. Even if it becomes an ordinary appearance, it can't hide the sissy smell on his body. ”
What a mess this is! I always felt that there was a subtle error in Judson's logic, but he was able to ignore that mistake and attack his opponent with reason.
"Oh, you really want to die!"
Charlotte clasped her hands to her chest, and a sneer was already on her ordinary face.
"Is this your way of expressing your feelings? A balding middle-aged man followed, speaking unhurriedly and in a calm and powerful voice.
Charlotte had no impression of him, and was wondering who this person was, when the man with blonde half-long hair and a slender and powerful body like a leopard came out, and Vivien and Lolita, who had returned to their original appearance, also crossed him and half-ran towards Charlotte.
"He's our close friend, Moon. The man was none other than Zenas, who seemed a little tired, with an untended stubble on his chin, but who was full of manhood and extraordinary affability when he smiled kindly at Charlotte, "Long time no see, my friend and benefactor! ”
Moon, the balding middle-aged man, also bowed to Charlotte.
"Zenas Radcliffe. Charlotte folded her hands and pouted, "I'm not your friend, but you've cornered my friend (referring to Elbert)." I regret now that I didn't see you hoisted on the gallows of the Earl of Cecil. ”
Even if the words were rather polite, Zenas's side, including Judson, who had never been at odds with Charlotte, showed the slightest hostility towards Charlotte.
Zenas shook his head with that tired smile again, "You seem to have a grudge against me. But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that you saved my life, and more than once. So both I and my close associates see you as a trusted and supportive best friend, who is not like-minded. ”
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, this is probably a truth that works anywhere.
Charlotte's face was soothed, although Charlotte had already guessed in his heart after tonight's events, but he asked as if he wanted to vent the resentment he had seen and heard along the way.
"I don't know a close friend who would use his hard-won life to give back to the community. ”
He accentuated his tone on 'giving back to society' and 'best friend', clearly mocking the other party.
