Chapter XXIII: The Eve of the Operation
(Thank you for being a house tip and recommendation ticket!This is a plus more!)
In the independent camp, Charlotte is packing her bags.
It may not be a good word to describe it as tidying, since there are not many personal belongings in the tent. Charlotte is more about sorting out the various spell casting materials in the different space, confirming their number and how they are placed.
This is important!
Don't look at Charlotte's mastery of the very convenient secret spell of casting without materials, but casting spells through materials can save the magic energy pool. After cutting the fragments of Lu Sien's soul, Charlotte's magic energy pool is no longer as exaggerated as before, and in real terms, his magic energy pool is not even comparable to his own in the Seven Rings period.
Coupled with the possibility of facing Herrington, the deceased who has made a name for himself in the world of Steeu, this time he is even more careless. Despite his confidence, Charlotte knew better than anyone that there was still a big gap between herself and the voters of Bane, the god of tyranny.
However, relying on the three secret spells he created, he had the confidence to retreat with his whole body.
At this time, Al was sitting at the small table in the camp tent munching on snacks, and there was no trace of pre-war nervousness in her immature face. Over the years, they have followed Charlotte to the north and south, and the two have even faced strong opponents at the level of the Root King and the Divine Yuan. To be honest, although the strength is not strong enough to run rampant in the multiverse, a Legendary-level voter really does not make the two panic and despair.
At this time, the curtain of the tent was lifted. Vivien and Lolita walked into the tent one after the other, and the latter smiled and saluted Charlotte, who was tidying up the space, and then jumped to the low table and snatched Elle's snacks.
Vivien, on the other hand, stood there after the salute, twisting her hands uneasily, her cheeks always calm with a seductive flush.
Charlotte took a look in her busy schedule, and saw her disciple's eyes wide, and she looked like a girl with a seductive appearance.
He felt strange in his heart, and asked while busy, "Is there anything wrong with me?"
Lolita burst out laughing, and under Charlotte's suspicious scrutiny, she covered her mouth again and clenched her fists at her sister in a dry barre cheering motion.
This made Charlotte even more suspicious.
“…… That's, that ......" Vivien asked in a writhing voice like a mosquito in Charlotte's puzzled expression, "...... I heard from Brother Hoyle that the teacher is going to Gpenreshire?"
It seems that my own disciples are quite concerned about me!
Charlotte was content, and he smiled gently, "yes." Don't worry, although Hairington has a big reputation, your teacher and I are not vegetarians. What's more, Viscount Austin, in order to cover my movements, intends to attack the storage base in eastern Gburnshire. As long as that guy isn't there, the rest of the people ...... Huh!"
Charlotte smiled reservedly, and then immediately heard Lolita let out a funny laugh.
He glared at Lolita, only to find that Vivien's face was even more rosy. It looked like a ripe apple, and it seemed to be about to fall from the treetops in the next second.
"No, it's not...... Teacher, you don't really plan to listen to those people, you can't kill Nell in time, do you?!" Vivien asked hurriedly, and when she saw Charlotte's frozen smile and gradually gloomy face, she immediately waved her hand in defense, "Ah! I don't care about you, teacher! Of course I care about you! But, but, ...... Teacher, you're so good, of course I don't have to worry too much, ah! no! I didn't mean that......"
Charlotte reached out to stop Vivien's incoherent words and said in a sly voice, "Now that I've changed my mind, I think it's not bad to let Nell die." ”
"Ah——!" Vivien's eyes turned red, "Teacher, please......"
"Poofha!"
Over there, Lolita and Elle slapped the table insolently, causing Vivien to wrinkle her nose angrily at Hime-you.
"Stupid Vivien!" Lolita teased, laughing, "Nell is the teacher's cousin! When have you ever seen a teacher give up the lives of a friend or relative?"
"But, but ......"
"You're clever!" Charlotte glared at Lolita and continued to sort out the materials in a sullen voice, "Don't worry, I'll bring Nell back." ”
Vivien breathed a sigh of relief when her IQ probably returned to its original level, so she immediately angrily retorted at Lolita, who was still laughing, "Hmph! What would happen to you if it was Leonard who had an accident?"
"Hey, what's the matter, don't you save it!" Lolita seemed to be as sluggish as Charlotte when it came to her feelings.
Charlotte heard the meaning of the words, and he didn't hold the glass bottle containing the materials for a while, and the crystal bottle smashed on the ground with a crisp cracking sound. The tent was quiet with a sudden crisp sound, and Charlotte, who was crouching on the ground, jerked back and pointed to the tent door.
"Don't you see I'm busy?!Get me out!" After a while, he glared at Elle, who was smiling and said angrily, "Don't look at it! and you!"
"What!?" Elle was so angry that she was dragged out of the door by the two girls, and she said to herself, "What's the matter with me......!
The tent was finally quiet, and Charlotte heard the three girls outside the door, 'Charlotte is jealous?' 'Wow......! Huh!', 'Don't wronged the teacher!' stupid Lolita!' and so on. So the depressed mage covered his face with his hands, showing a look of shame and distress.
“…… Alas, grow up......"
Ten days later, the capital of the county of Geppen.
Dressed in tattered linen clothes, the father-daughter duo crossed the crowded shopping street, and under the wary gaze of well-dressed pedestrians, they entered the alley, avoiding a group of Horcente sergeants who were playing on the shopping street, and made their way through a variety of winding, dark, damp alleys to a bungalow.
"Cut! what a bunch of dog-eyed guys!" the petite girl scooped a scoop of water from the bucket in front of the door, washed the dust off her face, and revealed an ordinary-looking face, "Miss Ben can still look at their belongings!"
The thin man beside him showed a flattering wry smile, "No way, who has made the world chaotic recently." Even in the safest capital of Geppen, everyone is now in danger. Now no one knows when the war will end, beggars, outcasts, thieves, murderers...... In short, people from all walks of life flocked to the city to beg for food. But that's a good thing......"
"You're right!" the ordinary-looking girl smiled at the man, revealing two cute little tiger teeth, "At least we won't arouse any suspicion when we inquire about the news, because forty percent of the people in this city are suspicious!"
As she spoke, she pushed open the old wooden door.
Inside, an equally ordinary-looking man was lying on a stained table studying a messy map, and next to him stood an inconspicuous girl, pointing at the map with her hand. The two of them nodded at times, and sometimes discussed something.
The only thing in the house that didn't fit in with the dilapidated bungalow was the delicate silver-haired young girl lying on the single bed and screaming softly.
Seeing the father and daughter enter the room, the man sitting at the table beckoned.
"How? Mouse, Lolita, have you figured out the situation?"
"Inquire clearly, my lord!" The Dark Stake, known as the Mouse, did not know the true identities of Charlotte and the others, but it did not prevent him from maintaining due respect for the spellcaster in front of him, "The information has been confirmed, and Helrington has indeed led some of the priests of the Temple of Tyranny Paladins to join up with the Second Legion of Horcente to the Eastern Storage Base. ”
"What about the sentry post?"
"We've got the information about the changing of the guard!"
"Very good!" Charlotte stood up and tapped on the map, "according to the original plan, we will start tomorrow night! Now send someone to inform Viscount Austin at once, tell him that the snake is out of the hole, and ask him to withdraw after midnight tomorrow night!"
"Yes, sir!"
It looks like the plan went unexpectedly!
However, Charlotte looked at the sun outside the window, but she always felt a little uneasy.
