Chapter 579: Charlotte
Unlike Saja, Charlotte was in no hurry to set off. She has been pampered since she was a child, and she is full of fear of the unknown. Even the whispers of magic grew quicker, but they couldn't overcome the weakness in their hearts.
Charlotte knew she couldn't handle the chaos in front of her, but she also knew that as a wizard, she had to rise to the occasion.
In a moment of hesitation, she was called to a family meeting. At the meeting, the family reveals its true secrets, and an old map is placed in front of her.
"We don't want to be cheated, but we have to be careful in this matter. I should have explained it to you before I got here, but we know the magic of the white robe, so we can only wait for Saja to leave before we talk to you.
This is a secret that the family has kept and is about to be forgotten. It's just that it's been too long, and now it's just a replica in front of us. Moreover, many of the annotations on it are no longer decipherable.
But for us, we don't need to worry about these details. The clues provided above are enough to help us find it. β
Charlotte looked carefully at the map in front of her, and suddenly reached out and pointed to a line of words, and a series of strange sounds came out of her mouth. Then he looked up and explained, "I can read it, it's some advice and arrangement." Unfortunately, these arrangements no longer make any sense. β
Charlotte pointed to the end of the route, "Only here, maybe there is something of value left." β
"You should know the purpose for which we have called you back. β
Charlotte nodded, "You hope that I can take all this, be able to go further in strength, and eventually become the family's support."
However, I have more important things to do. β
Charlotte sighed and continued, "You must think I'm shirking, making a fuss. Yes, I hate you, all the time.
Especially after sending it to Northland as a gift, I hate you even more.
If I become white, I will hide my dislike for you. But after becoming a white robe, I have become accustomed to the politeness of a wizard, to the most authentic perception of honesty.
This is not contempt for you, but out of respect.
- I hate you.
Don't get me wrong, my choice has nothing to do with disgust. I know you won't believe what I'm going to explain, but I want to make it clear.
Before setting out, the Great Wizard had foreseen all this. I was able to come back this time, not because of your request, but because of the call of magic.
It may be your letter that has caused the magic to throb, but I really wasn't responding to you. β
Charlotte let out a sullen breath and continued, "The magic has been whispering in my ear, and it has shown me the way. Unfortunately, this is not the place I am going.
You may not believe it, but I would love to be aligned with your goals so that I can use more of your strength. It's a pity that it didn't work out after all.
I'm not just a wizard in the family, so leave it to someone else. β
With a sigh, someone said, "You still won't forgive us, even though you know that you don't have many options in this position."
I don't know if you have ever thought that giving you to the Great Wizard is actually the best choice. His personality, though eccentric, is not brutal. Even if you kill people without mercy, there is a reason for it.
We do not deny the despicable intentions in it, and it does have ulterior motives. At that time, we know from the messages that came back that he was very tolerant of his friends. Moreover, he likes to accept new friends, especially beautiful maidens.
It's just that who would have thought that after leaving the Northland, he would close himself off. Only those who used to be old can really get close to him.
Although the plan didn't work out, you can't deny the fact that if you can become his maid, it will be the best outcome.
We're really here for your good, even if it's hard for you to accept. Since you think honesty is out of respect, can you be honest and tell us that there are better options at that time?
If you could start over, what would you choose?
Of course, you don't have to make this difficult choice anymore, just because you're already a white-robed wizard. Behind you stands the truly great being who has given you the right to freedom.
And so that you β have a reason to continue to hate us.
We believe your explanations because you don't have to hide them anymore. Although we are very sad and disappointed by that undisguised disgust, we still hope that you can have a smooth journey. Either way, you are the hope and pride of your family now.
And we're sure that sooner or later you'll understand all of this and become a family dependentβjust like Zoya. β
Charlotte was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke: "I won't be like Zoya, she no longer remembers her former family......"
At this point, Charlotte suddenly stopped. She understood that it didn't matter whether she hated or forgotten, only the result.
- I hate you!
Charlotte didn't want to dwell on it anymore, and she slowly pulled out the ring and put it on her hand. Then make a request: "Give me a small squad of dead soldiers." β
"Okay! What else do you need?"
......
With disgust, Charlotte set off. A familiar chill enveloped it not long after. She looked down at the ring in her hand and sighed to herself. Although she had become accustomed to the presence of the necromancy, she still did not like the cold.
Moreover, she doesn't like to be surrounded by a strange, uncontrolled group of undead. She is not Maya's lucky black dragon, she has inherited the original power of the archwizard and has the ability to manipulate the souls of the dead. She is just a white robe whose strength is not outstanding. So, she turned back.
No one expected that Charlotte, who had not been out for a long time, ran back again. She harassed the hounds in one place and slaughtered them in one place. Then, swaggering again.
Charlotte knows the situation of the revenant, and in the initial period of time, most of them will lose their original memories and rely on the remaining instincts. In the process of recovery, these hounds may be able to use her.
After living in Northland for a long time, Charlotte has changed a lot. For the dead soldiers around her, she did not see them as tools, but as attendants. For the white robe, the status of the attendant is not low, just like Ma Wei at that time. They are not only an extension of the wizard's hands and eyes, but also the face of the wizard.
It is also the subtle change of identity that makes the relationship between master and servant more and more harmonious. Originally, they were loyal to the royal family and carried out the royal family's orders. Now, the object of allegiance has quietly changed to Charlotte. They know that this is a rare opportunity, and if they survive, their status will also change dramatically.
The only thing they couldn't get used to was the lingering chill around Charlotte. But this chill did not extinguish the heat in my heart, but made it more vigorous. This, they believe, is Charlotte's strength.
They don't know that the "powerful" Charlotte is always uneasy. It was this apprehension that slowed Charlotte's pace and made her stumble in the occupied zone.
The magic was still murmuring, but it was no longer in a hurry, but a little lazy. In this laziness, the barking of dogs gradually sounded. From noisy to scattered, the roaring and biting sounds during the period are constant. It wasn't until a fierce three-headed hound loomed beside Charlotte that the noise finally subsided.
Behind the three hounds were several equally fierce two-headed hounds. The heads of the same body were squinting at each other, roaring in warning.
In front of everyone, Charlotte tentatively gave the order - sit down! After watching this group of strange things sit down very well-behaved, Charlotte couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
In the face of the awe-inspiring gaze cast, Charlotte, who was also inexplicable, put on an unfathomable posture and began to enjoy the worship of others.
......
Despite the delay, Charlotte still walked out of her own occupied territory.
Unlike the confident Saja, Charlotte did not dare to wear the unique costume of the white robe, but dressed in disguise. Because of this, she has had far less trouble.
Unlike the procrastination of the occupation zone, Charlotte suddenly became resolute. She obeyed the Great Wizard's teachings - Run!
Run β the faster, the better......
