Chapter Seventy-One: The Plan
(Thanks to the one-of-a-kind betrayal of the monthly pass!It's an old friend!I remember you!)
On the royal capital square, three people came out of the crowd. The first one was a flower farmer, one of the heads of the shadow guard directly under Lawrence, and the other two were his henchmen, both of whom belonged to the Erosa shadow guard system.
At this time, Charlotte, who had made up his plan, had already swapped the astral body with himself, and he made the astral body that was still in Fort Sava wear the mask of Eleni's deception, while he waited in the square for his next move.
There were people coming and going in the square, and through the understanding of the week, Charlotte knew that there were two waves of people behind her at this time. One wave was Abraham, while the other was Fevien Leigh, Nancy and Kathryn.
The former doesn't care about that, in the four weeks, the information and intelligence of the two sides are basically transparent, and it is still unknown whether the other party will act according to the original plan when it is not clear that Charlotte can replace the main body and the astral body.
But the latter...... Charlotte had to find a way to fight for it. If you can't get the support of Vivien Leigh in this week, then all the next plans will be in vain.
As Charlotte was thinking, the flower farmer had silently made his way through the bustling crowd to Charlotte's side.
"Young master, everything is arranged. ”
The flower farmer was referring to the round-up plan for the mage of Sky City, and Charlotte sighed, not caring about it.
Because it can be seen from the first three weeks that Evan does not trust the group of mages in Sky City, and besides, even if they enter, with their strength, they will not play much role in the battle at this level.
Charlotte had raided Sky City mages just to get information, but now, he was naturally not interested in it.
The flower farmer was aware of this, and he asked in a low voice, "Young Master, are you still acting according to the original plan?"
Charlotte now understood why the flower farmer was highly valued by Lawrence, and he shook his head, "The plan has changed, evacuate for the time being, and wait for my next order." ”
"Yes, young master!" even the order of the change of the order was strictly carried out by the flower farmer, he was not a knight, let alone a staff officer, he was just a sword in Lawrence's hand. The sword doesn't need to be thought, and wherever the master wants to stab, he will stick it without hesitation.
"Does the Shadow Guard have any secret meeting place in the royal capital? help me arrange it, I need a secret room that won't be noticed by anyone for a short time. ”
"Yes, young master. ”
Charlotte continued, "My sister Vivien Leigh should follow me and send for her, I have something to discuss with her. ”
Only this time, the flower farmer who bowed his head and listened to the order glanced at Charlotte in surprise. When reporting the situation in the morning, Charlotte was obviously unwilling to drag Vivien Leigh into this whirlpool, but he didn't understand how Charlotte could change so much in just half a day's work.
The flower farmer's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were full of scrutiny and vigilance, and his originally bent waist was as tight as a spring.
Charlotte gave him a strange look, and then suddenly used the magic energy, and the effect of the steel body appeared on her body, and the vigilance in the flower farmer's eyes was half gone.
"I said not to get Vivien Leigh into the whirlpool, but on second thought, instead of letting her and Claire act recklessly, it would be better to disclose limited information and turn the uncontrollable into controllable. What do you think?"
The flower farmer was puzzled, bowed his head and said, "Your will!"
Charlotte not only did not feel unhappy, but became more and more sure of the ability of the shadow guard. He waved his hand and ordered, 'Go ahead.'"
Tracking is the strength of the shadow guard, and Fei Wenli and her party did not deliberately hide their whereabouts, just a cup of tea, the flower farmer reported that he had found the target, but his two subordinates were detained, and Charlotte was invited to negotiate.
Charlotte smiled, finding Vivien Leigh so quickly made his mood a little lighter.
Charlotte and the flower farmer left the royal square together, and along the way, you could see the crowd gathering towards the royal square from time to time, and after walking a block, the flow of people gradually decreased. Occasionally, scattered citizens can be seen happily heading to the square with their families, and under the leadership of adults, children hold hands with each other and dance and sing nursery rhymes. When they noticed Charlotte dressed in noble clothes, they would stop and bow respectfully to Charlotte, and say 'Happy Season!', and Charlotte's tense expression eased somewhat, and she nodded to them and replied with 'Happy Holidays!'.
Seeing them, Charlotte suddenly remembered the past. At that time, Charlotte also participated in the Grand Praise Festival in the royal capital with Evan and Fei Wenli. The three siblings are close to each other, with Evan holding the young Vivien Leigh and Charlotte leading the way with a barbecue. After a while, Fei Wen Leigh, who had shown the essence of a foodie since she was a child, broke free of Aiwen's hand and jumped in front of her like a spoiled puppy to grab food. Whenever this happens, Charlotte will tease Vivien Leigh until little Lori is crying and Evan is justice, and he will smile and stuff the roast meat sprinkled with cumin and chili peppers into Vivien Leigh's mouth.
Then, the little Lori, who has a very sensitive sense of taste, will be flushed with tears, fanning the wind on Sakura's lips, shouting spicy but gluttonous to swallow the meat in her belly.
It was a carefree time, they didn't have to worry about the war on the northern border, they didn't know Lu Sien or Eleni, and they played every day except for the necessary homework, racking their brains to find new pleasures. But often in the process of thinking about the content of the game, it is already a lot of fun.
At that time, Charlotte thought that it would be the epitome of his life, to be a carefree gentleman, to guard the family property left to him by his father and brother - maybe money, maybe a trivial territory, and then eat, drink, and have fun, pass on the lineage, eat and die, and enjoy this life.
But fate tricked him, and now he has become a well-known hero in the world of Steeu, and people praise his strength and courage, and envy his nobility and talent. Involved in the core disputes and secrets of the multiverse, the people in contact are all heroes of the multiverse. Money is no longer in his eyes, and territory has become dispensable, and only power and truth are his pursuit. But if you want to ask him if he's happy now? Hey, that's not necessarily!
He actually envied the family of five who had gone away, and looked forward to the day when the Clayderman family could travel in the multiverse like the family of five, not caring about any empire or the millennium of love, and when he was tired of walking, he set up a tent on the grass, and the family boiled the stream water by starlight, hugged the barbecue, held the wine, and talked about the scenery they met today.
- But that's just a wish, right?
Turning the corner of the alley, what he saw ahead dragged him from his dream into reality. Vivien Leigh clasped her hands on her chest and glared at the two shadow guards, the two poor fellows were tightly bound by Kathryn's spells, leaning against the corner like two worms, and Nancy, wearing a hood, waiting at Vivien Leigh's side.
Vivien Leigh also noticed Charlotte at the entrance of the alley, her originally cold face relaxed, and after asking Kathleen to unravel the spell, her originally gentle little face became tense again, glaring at Charlotte with vague anger and dissatisfaction.
Charlotte waved her hand and greeted her with a smile.
"Hey!"
At this moment, Charlotte, who had just returned to reality from longing, seemed to have found the feeling of childhood again, and he waved his hand very naturally, as if he had just come back from stealing food from the orchard, and smiled at Vivien Li with Qingguo in his arms.
He decided to confess everything!
