Chapter 149: Two or Three Things Before the Storm 3
"Speaking of which, Charlotte, you're twenty-six this year, aren't you? I remember your birthday is December 18th. ”
After laughing, Claire asked suddenly. Charlotte smiled and nodded, and then the two of them took on a slightly embarrassed look.
Charlotte and Claire met in the summer of fourteen years ago, in the small town of Santos, not far from Fort Savoa. At first, Charlotte only befriended Claire in order to untie the dead knot of mortality, and the latter refused to cooperate from the beginning, even if the two joined forces after many world lines, but it was only out of common interests.
But sometimes you have to sigh at the wonder of fate!
After that, Charlotte and Claire went to Icewind Castle to study under Sylvia. Although Charlotte is Sylvia's younger brother in name, in reality, he and Claire are true brothers.
Both of them are extremely talented, determined, proud, and intellectually curious, and it stands to reason that the two of them who are so talented get together that they are not much better off if they are not hostile to each other. But the two who were born in the same foreign land, one is as passionate as fire and the other is as cold as water, and they have miraculously become good brothers who talk about everything.
Even though the two have not seen each other for several years since they were on the water, they met again without the slightest barrier. A while ago, the two were busy forming an alliance between Elbert and Zenas, and then they worked together to study the potion that delayed the natural disaster of the undead.
Claire began by talking about his current situation in the Soul Seat. Now, the battle for the Throne of Souls has begun, and although Claire has become a fledgling power with the support of Nesta in the declaration of death, she is regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by the Chosen One launched by the rest of the Throne of Souls because of the ownership of Iger's Scepter (Quinn).
For example, this time, it was Malthus and Gloria, who were also the Chosen One, teamed up to take advantage of the rare opportunity to kill Claire and seize Iger's Staff.
"You've worked hard enough!" Charlotte sighed.
Charlotte didn't say anything like 'come back if you can't stand it', because she felt that Claire would be disappointed if she did.
Sure enough, Claire had a radiant expression on her face, "It's okay." It's hard work, but I feel very fulfilling!"
Although they are best friends, Claire and Charlotte have very different personalities.
Strictly speaking, Claire, who was born in a commoner and has a bad fate, likes competition, believing that everything must be won by competition, even for his best friend Charlotte, whom he readily regards as his lifelong enemy.
Charlotte seems to have a flamboyant personality and a resolute personality, but in fact, he was born with a golden key and does not like to fight. If you look closely, you will see that except for the time when he captured the Eye of Alvira for the foundation of his enlightenment, he almost never took the initiative to provoke others or provoke a fight in his life. It's just that he's always been troublesome, and he can be called a walking troublemaker.
Hearing his answer, Charlotte nodded, "Then enjoy it!" ”
"What?"
"If Malthus and Gloria are there to deal with you, then why are they deliberately creating the Undead Scourge?"
Claire had long thought about this, and he frowned, "I also think it's strange, if they are trying to lure me out, then this kind of trick is a bit too big." For example, if they hadn't done this, you and Elbert wouldn't have stayed here at all, and although the Undead Scourge would give them the advantage in numbers and the initiative in the situation, it would be difficult to judge between the pros and cons. ”
"yes. Charlotte was also puzzled, "If it were me, I would never do such a thing." ”
But you say this with a subjective element, after all, your view of right and wrong is completely different from theirs. ”
"That's right. Charlotte shrugged, "But you have to admit that at the moment, their plan is not very clever. I don't want to increase the popularity of others, but since the other party is the king of the Soul Seat and you are directly competing with you, it is impossible to be a weak opponent. ”
This is a very useful remark to Claire. Even with his cold personality, he couldn't help but curl his lips, "yes, so I think they probably have another plot." But no matter what, we have to find a way to stop the undead scourge. ”
"You're right. Anyway, do what you want!" Charlotte nodded.
"What about you? How have you been doing all these years? After cutting Lu Sien's soul and getting the coveted Eye of Alvira, you can be regarded as proud, right? Recently...... I don't think I've ever dreamed of Lu Sien again, right?"
He asked several questions in quick succession, but Charlotte didn't know how to answer.
Charlotte hesitated, "I haven't dreamed of it anymore......"
Claire saw that something was wrong, "Is there anything else wrong with that?"
Charlotte gritted her teeth hesitantly, and after a long time, he calmed down and said, "The Witch of Calamity is out of trouble. But there's no need to worry about that for now, the point is, Claire...... Have you ever heard of Destiny Coins?"
"What's that?" Claire wondered, thinking that the Calamity was so much more important than a coin whose name he had never heard.
Charlotte asked, "What about the formula for analyzing all things?"
"......," Claire said hesitantly, frowning, "I've heard Nesta mention this formula, which is said to be a theory of Master Heywood about the multiverse. But I've heard Nesta say that there's no basis for that theory. ”
"No!" Charlotte's expression was very serious, "this formula is amazing! It does derive a lot of things, look! This is the coin of destiny!"
Charlotte pulled out the gold coin from her bosom, and on the reverse side it was rows of fine runi script, and on the front was a cute leprechaun with a smile on her chest and her thin wings.
"You must swear not to tell anyone what I will show you, not even Sister Sylvia!"
Charlotte's expression was so serious that Claire swallowed involuntarily.
"I swear ......"
Brush –
The virtual screen unfolds from the Destiny Coins, and Charlotte calls out the repository of information to begin another tedious calculation. While manipulating the Destiny Coins, he explains to Claire how the coins work.
He then converted the erroneous formula into words and showed it to Claire.
Just like in Heywood's lab, seeing the results of the calculation, Claire next to her also began to breathe quickly and her face flushed.
“…… Will there be something wrong?" Claire noticed that her voice was hoarse.
"I don't know......," Charlotte shook her head, "but Mr. Heywood did say a lot of things. My concern is that if the theory of the Destiny Coin is correct, it means ......"
Claire's voice was ethereal like an undead crawling out of a coffin, "You suspect that there is something wrong with Vivien Leigh......"
"No!" Charlotte's face was gloomy, "I just want to know what the problem is." ”
Claire stuck her head out of the window, as if to silence her boiling thoughts in the cold wind.
The winter wind pushed his voice into the room.
He said, "When this is over, I'll go back to Erosa with you!"
