Chapter 181: Alvira, Queen of Shadows
The vibrations of the earth finally stopped, and it looked like it was all over. Charlotte woke up from the mysterious state of experiencing the spell, only to find that the magic flame in the manor had been extinguished for some time, and there were only a few corners left with black and green ** flames burning in Ziz.
He was just about to enter the manor to find the coveted Eye of Alvira when he saw that Teklin and Devany had entered the manor at some point.
The two of them waved at Charlotte in a corner of the charred lawn.
The two men were not mages, nor had they been immersed in the mysteries of magic like Charlotte. So after calling Charlotte to settle down, the two planned to brave the flames that had not yet burned out to enter the manor to find the Eye of Alvira.
After all, if it weren't for their incursions, maybe Charlotte would have been able to get the Eye of Alvira at the beginning, and she wouldn't have fallen into the Abyss of Belbo and almost died. Although these two people have strong personalities, they are not ignorant of good and bad people. In their eyes, if something happened to lose Alvira's Eye again, it would be a shame for the companion who had fought with them all the way.
"Hey, Brother Charlotte, come and see what I've found!" Charlotte noticed that in front of Teklin, waving his hand, a jewel glowed scarlet.
Did it end so easily? Seeing that Alvira's Eye, which she had been thinking about day and night, was still there, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wait! Don't touch it!" Charlotte suddenly had a flash of inspiration and subconsciously dissuaded loudly.
He suddenly realized that if Alvira and the Witch of Calamity wanted to set up a game, then what object was most likely to be used for?!
That's right, the answer is the Eye of Alvira!
If this was what he thought, it would be very likely that Teklin, and even Daphne next to him, would be killed by the spells preset on the orb.
However, it was too late, even if Charlotte flashed in the first place to try to stop Teklin, but after all, it was still a step too late, and Teklin, who was bent on doing something, had already touched the scarlet orb with his fingertips!
In an instant, a silver light flashed throughout the manor. Everyone in the silver light only felt that the sky was spinning, and the world seemed to turn into a colorful rainbow light, and everything was distorted in the rainbow light tunnel in front of them. Charlotte felt like a sponge squeezed into a tiny passage, and all of them, including Devonie and Teklin beside her, Elle not far away, and Heywood, who clicked and chuckled into her jawbone and laughed farther afield, were twisted into strange shapes.
Charlotte guessed correctly, Alvira's Eye was indeed preset with a spell!
Strangely, however, it wasn't an offensive spell. For Charlotte, who had had experienced it countless times, he knew what kind of spell it was almost immediately!
Triggered teleportation spells!
Realizing that there was no danger in the spell itself, Charlotte forced herself to calm down and waited for the spell to end.
Like a moment, like billions of years ago, the illusion of traveling through space makes it impossible to define time precisely. Charlotte closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she found herself in a place that was all too familiar.
Savoie Fort!
To be precise, judging from the lifeless atmosphere around and the dark world outside the window, this should be the Witch Fortress of the Abyss!
In front of you is the council hall of Fort Savoie, which has been renovated and renovated several times over the millennia, but still retains some traces of its original appearance. In particular, the solemn throne with the family emblem made of iron as a halo at the top is even more conspicuous here.
But now, the solemn hall where the Grand Duke of Erosa had gathered his ministers lacked the necessary vitality, and Charlotte looked around and noticed that except for El, who was inseparable from her and had a ghostly expression, everyone in the Futarazzi Manor at that time had been teleported to the Witch's Citadel of the Abyss.
Among them is Heywood, the mad lich with a flickering soul.
Unlike Devonne, who clenched her longbow with a wary face, or Teklin, who held Alvira's Eyes and stared to the left and right with her eyes wide open and her golden shield raised, Heywood, the mad lich, seemed interested in what was happening before him.
"Quack, isn't this the burial place for my Heywood Williams?" the mad lich Heywood let out a crackling chuckle as his jaws opened, "and that would be a real disappointment for you, after all, according to the coins of fate, this is not the end of me." ”
He seemed to be speaking to someone, but no one answered in the empty chamber. Heywood's soul flickered, and he pointed impatiently at a huge column, and a dark green ray bounced towards the column, instantly shattering the corner of the column.
"Sneakily hiding there, aren't you going to come out to meet people?"
Several people looked at the pillar in unison, and then they noticed that there seemed to be a vague figure in the shadow of the column. Without Heywood's order, everyone maintained their pre-attack posture and aimed their malice at the shadow man.
"Don't, don't kill me!" a panicked voice came from the shadow of the pillar, and what was originally a pleasant voice was full of trills due to fear.
Charlotte felt that this voice was very familiar, and he looked at the figure cowering behind the pillar in surprise, and asked tentatively, "Qiye?!"
"Lord—A, Adams, or Charlotte......" Qiye walked out of the shadows with a sad face, she huddled her shoulders and looked at everyone with the eyes of a frightened fawn, "And Lord Heywood! I—I don't know anything, please don't kill me!"
Charlotte was still wondering why she hadn't seen Qiye in the city of Futarazi, but she didn't expect her to be in the Abyss Witch's Castle. Originally, he felt guilty about deceiving the two sisters, but at this moment, he felt comforted to see that Qi was safe and sound.
"It's you! Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. Charlotte tried to smile, "Qiye, can you tell me how you ended up here?"
Perhaps it was Charlotte's smile that comforted Qiye, and she smiled hopefully like a caged beast when she saw a well-meaning hunter, and she stepped out of the shadow of the pillar and took two steps towards Charlotte, only to be stopped by the latter waving her hand.
"Wait, please don't go any further, Qiye. Although Charlotte felt guilty about Qiye, she was not defenseless. In particular, with Qiye's strength alone, how did she hide from Heywood's past people and hide her whereabouts behind the pillar?
"If there's anything to say, I want you to stand there and finish it. After all...... Sorry, the situation is unclear right now, and I can't trust you 100%. ”
Qiye's face once again showed a frightened expression, but the third lady, who once liked to abuse others, was like a deer, terrified at the slightest disturbance, which had to make Charlotte even more suspicious of her identity.
Qiye hesitated and feared, and she hugged her shoulders and couldn't stop shaking. Her unusual behavior once again aroused everyone's vigilance, and just when Charlotte felt strange, Qiye suddenly held her head like crazy and said in confusion.
"Adams, no, Charlotte, no, no, no, my master, I'm scared...... Please save me! No, no, you are not my master, my master is Her Majesty Alvira, and I will ...... No, no, no, don't! Don't! Please, don't! I don't want to, I don't want to ......."
She held her head, shook her head like a madman and muttered to herself. Suddenly, she stared at Charlotte with wide eyes as if she were stunned, tears of fear and sadness welling up in her eyes.
"I'm scared, I'm sorry...... But I can't resist, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Let's go, let's go......"
"W-what!?" Charlotte asked in surprise as she looked at her crazy appearance.
The mad lich Heywood stood in front of Charlotte and said with a strange smile, "Don't pretend to be a fool here, Alvira, do you like to create fear and despair so much? ”
As soon as Heywood's words fell, Qiye, who was originally like a madman, suddenly hung his head and did not move. Charlotte felt that something lurked in the darkness, the wall lamps in the council hall flickered on and off, and the shadows of darkness creeped in all directions and extended to the night beside the pillars.
Qiye suddenly raised his head, and the originally black pupils turned into golden divine pupils.
"Heywood Williams, you're saying we set up an ambush to deal with you?" "Seven Nights—no! Alvira should I say—smiled excitedly, and with a gesture she stretched out her hand, and the Eye of Alvira in Teklin's hand appeared in the palm of her hand out of thin air, "You can't help but think too highly of yourself, a loser who has been eliminated by the times!"
Charlotte was shocked, he didn't expect Qiye to become the god body of the Shadow Queen Alvira!
