Chapter XXV. Transactions
(Thank you for your recommendation votes!)
Charlotte had already figured out the wording on the road, and Sylvia was young at this time, but she was already quite wise, and judging from her rejection of Claudien's proposal to ask Lusian and Eagle for help, she should have guessed that even those two would not notice Charlotte's existence.
Now panicking will only arouse Sylvia's disgust and suspicion, and Charlotte decides to speak openly and honestly, "The next words may make you unbelievable, but Sylvia, please believe that I am not half a lie." ”
Sylvia gestured to continue.
"My name is Charlotte Clayderman, yes, Clayderman from Savoieburg. I'm from more than 3,000 years later, and I actually have a lot to do with you. ”
Looking at his solemn expression, Sylvia was noncommittal, looking up at him like a puppet. If it is the first time to communicate with her, I am afraid that I will mistake the delicate and lovely girl in front of me for a poor intellectual retard.
No wonder she was not treated well in Savoie Fort, now she has no pretense at all, and is lifeless from beginning to end compared to the afterlife.
But Charlotte was familiar with her character, and seeing that she didn't speak, she continued to explain, "In the strict sense, I am your disciple in later life, and almost all of my learning comes from you. Now I have been displaced to this plane for some uncontrollable reasons, and no one in this plane can see me, and when I was desperate, you gave me the only hope. ”
There are some truths and falsehoods, but logically speaking, there is no problem, and the reason why Charlotte did not tell Sylvia that this is her realm of consciousness is that she is worried about causing uncontrollable changes and causing unnecessary trouble. When he finished, he waited for Sylvia's answer.
Little Lori Sylvia looked up at him for more than ten seconds, and when she saw that Charlotte didn't follow, she asked, "Two questions." You said that you have traveled more than 3,000 years, is the time and space spell so powerful? I want to check with Lu Sien. ”
Charlotte's face darkened, and she thought to herself, she really deserves to be Sylvia, even if it is the Lori period, she can't be underestimated.
"Second question, since you said that all your skills are taught by me in the future, then why don't you use honorifics when you call me, and you don't call me a teacher?"
The question is even more awkward, and if you tell Sylvia - in fact, we are lovers - I wonder if there will be a suspicion of molesting the young girl.
Charlotte smiled bitterly and had to explain, "The first question, of course, I know that the time-space spell cannot travel through more than three thousand years, and I didn't use the time-space spell to come to this era, but I just encountered uncontrollable factors. In fact, I want to ask you for help to escape from this era. You can see that no one but you can perceive me, and I don't want to die alone in this era. ”
"As for the second question, actually...... Our relationship is far from being a master-apprentice. ”
Hearing this, Sylvia actually sighed imperceptibly, this is the movement she imitates most like an ordinary human. Then she said, "I believe you." ”
"Really? Thank you!"
"Fake. Sylvia blurted out, and for a moment, Charlotte thought she had learned to joke, but she still looked expressionless and doll-like, "It's useless because I don't believe you." Neither Lu Sien nor Teacher Eagle can detect your existence, and naturally it is impossible to hurt you, and I am obviously weaker than you, of course, I can only believe what you say. ”
She made a good sense, should she really say that it was Sylvia? Charlotte was actually dumbfounded by a little Lori.
"So, how are you going to ask me to help you? ”
"I don't know. ”
In other words, you don't know why you came to this era, and you don't know how to escape from this era, right? ”
That's what you mean. ”
"Don't you even have a clue?"
"The only clue is probably ...... I can only follow you. ”
"It's a nuisance. Although Sylvia said trouble, she didn't have the slightest emotion, "Then what can you compensate me for in return for my assistance to you?"
Charlotte said, "Knowledge, all my knowledge can be open to you, although most of this knowledge comes from the future you." ”
"It feels like I'm losing money on this trade. ”
"And whatever else I can, you can tell me. Charlotte upped her stacks.
"You have been rejected by this world, what can you do for me. After Sylvia finished speaking, she saw Charlotte lift the tray in the room, take the tea cup on the tray and drink it all, "It turns out that you can affect matter, then you can kill people for me." ”
Hearing the word murder from such a petite and cute Lori really startled Charlotte, but soon he asked with a wry smile, "Who do you want to kill?"
"No one wants to kill, it's just a matter of talking. Sylvia's answer relieved Charlotte, to be honest, he didn't want to kill people in his consciousness space at all, and if he disrupted any order, it would be over.
"I am the only one in this plane who can perceive your existence, and you say that I am the only person who can help you, that is, is it related to me that you will come to this plane in the future? ”
Is this really a little Lori who is only about ten years old? No wonder the whole of Savoie is jealous and hostile to her. A little more than mortals is a genius, and countless beyond mortals are monsters, not to mention that this monster does not have any human feelings.
"Yes. Charlotte smiled wryly and nodded.
"I understood, even though I was in the red, I accepted the trade, after all, I didn't want to have a ghost around me all day long. ”
"Thank you. Don't you want to know what's going to happen to you in the future?"
"I don't want to. Sylvia replied indifferently, and then walked straight to the side room, where there was a luxurious velvet bed, and she suddenly thought of something, and said to Charlotte, "Please leave, Lu Sien said that girls can't show their bodies to others." ”
"Yes!" Charlotte nodded with a wry smile as she turned into a shadow through the window and sat on the balcony outside the window.
He sat on the balcony and looked out at the night in the distance, faintly feeling like he was back in his childhood, when he must have sat next to Fei Wenli, and his brother Evan would persuade the two of them to go back to the room early from time to time.
He smiled as he looked at the night scene, when the environment outside the castle was very different from three thousand years later, the forest trees were more lush and thick, and the whole world was filled with a mixture of barbarism and civilization.
But further afield, the scenery in some places is not much different from 3,000 years later. Charlotte speculated that this was due to the fact that Sylvia was not a large area of activity during this period, and that the areas she had not visited were replaced by Sylvia with memories of the future, thus creating a magnificent landscape that alternates between the old and the new.
He had a hunch that the time spanning of this mission might be extraordinarily long, because he couldn't think of anyone who could hurt Sylvia in Castle Sava in the time before Lusen and Eagle died.
He guessed right, compared to the previous two experiences, it was indeed a long time. 8)
