Chapter 25 Think carefully about the choices you should make
Even sitting on the throne, a wave of dizziness also came towards Ofi Yiche.
Why, suddenly there was a lack of oxygen and a detachment.
Yukzorah saw his state: "You have been in subspace for more time than the subspace anchor can be reliably maintained. Time in the real world has begun to tick, and you can't afford to last any longer now, so quit and rest. β
The figure on the high throne gradually disappeared like a mist of light, and the only remaining figure in the subspace was still sighing: "This man, is he trying to make us the one who brings chaos?"
When Ofiecher returned to reality, he felt clammy and cold.
He reluctantly stood up, changed his sweat-soaked clothes and pants, wiped his sweat with a towel, put on his living cotton clothes and fell asleep on the bed.
When I opened my eyes again, the rooms of the tavern were filled with the morning light, and they were bright yellow.
I should have said hello to Charlotte last night and reported on the progress of the search for a house before studying the letter. Attention was drawn away by the inexplicable letter.
Also, the more questions pile up, the more you don't decide on a specific channel to obtain information, then your brain will explode.
The source energy has changed too much, I said... At first, I thought it was a source of power for some kind of telekinesis, but it turned out that it could be used to transform people into other non-human beings, to be used as rituals, and as spells. It seems that it is not only able to listen and peep, but also to search for specific types of objects that exist all over the world.
I really want to write all these things down in a notebook and organize them, but will someone use them to spy on them again?
Thinking of this, Ofeichher had no choice but to keep the questions in his head.
If something at the Tier 0 level could be easily implemented for mind reading, Yukdrola hadn't suggested anything like that for me. Well, mind reading is at least a spell above Tier 4 - it doesn't even have the power of mind reading, so it can be seen that putting it in my head is still the only safe option for me at the moment.
Let's talk to Finn today and think carefully about whether or not to be his apprentice.
He dipped a towel in some water from the basin, wrung it out, and then carefully wiped the shirt, vest, and simple pullover he wore at the door, and put it back on.
When he opened the door of the room, the aroma of garlic, basil, and olives came to his nose, and Ofe Yiche let out a heavy grunt in his stomach.
He went to Charlotte's room to say hello, only to find that this was where the scent came from. He inhaled and retracted his abdomen, restraining his bellows from grunting in protest again.
I don't seem to have had afternoon tea and dinner at all last night, no wonder I'm so embarrassed. He thought with some embarrassment.
Charlotte smiled and wiped her mouth with a silk scarf before she spoke: "Casey went to call you for lunch just now, you can't seem to get up, it's really rare." Is it the assistant's job that is not going well?"
Before O-Fei Yiche could figure out how to report yesterday's situation, Casey said one after another: "However, even if he faints, O-Fei can still get up and eat with the fragrance, right?"
Taking advantage of the good spirits after a full sleep, Ofiicher searched the head of the original owner fiercely, and said slowly: "Some ladies put their own experiences on others, so it can be seen that the main god Ji'an will definitely appreciate her understanding of people's different but similar ones. β
Charlotte immediately turned to Casey with a smile, "Is what he said true?"
This was the first time that Casey had been retorted by Ophi Yiche, and his face stiffened with a pretended indifferent smile: "Hmm! Please don't trust some people who make jokes about admonitions, such people are destined to be judged by Ji'an." β
As we laughed, Ofeichher had taken his seat, and around nine o'clock in the morning, he and Charlotte had cured raw ham, fried white bread slices, and a somewhat eerie salad of citrus snake fruit pea lettuce with olive oil.
If Lukka had been the butler, he wouldn't have let him and Casey dine at the same table with the host in such an unusual way, even if it was Charlotte's request.
The conservative among the conservatives, in the die-hard aristocratic family, would raise such a generous, gentle and aristocratic girl who regards etiquette and worldly rules as nothing, and gives priority to compassion for her subordinates... I can't help but believe that personality is innate.
However, it was mainly due to the fact that the marquis was not at home all day, and he was in a remote manor for a long time, so he did not get infected with the stubborn habits of the nobility and was immersed in the more gentle environment of his mother.
However, fate seems to be trying to make complicated and cruel jokes on such a simple and gentle good person.
Thinking of the Marquis's possible next public trial and execution, Ofiicher became a little reluctant to talk and laugh.
"O-film, what's wrong?" Charlotte blinked, catching O-O-O-Ich's subtle changes.
"Ah," Ofeichher paused slightly, "I want to state that I am not dissatisfied with the Empire. But I once heard the Marquis and your brothers chatter, and mentioned that a small island nation in the north-west of the empire, separated by a small channel, seems to have caused a great deal of turmoil because of its very thorough reformsβit is said that the king cannot change the law at will, and the law can bind the king by the law, which is ridiculous. But..."
"But?" Charlotte listened with interest, dispelling Ofeicher's concerns. He was also worried that Charlotte would be like Casey on the side, listening to him boredly and rolling her eyes at him.
But at least the herdsmen in that kingdom knew where to go to get the repair materials when the ranch fence was broken. Instead of thinking directly about whether the sheep should be planted with wheat or potatoes after the sheep are eaten by wolves. β
Charlotte clenched one hand into a fist, covered her mouth and smiled happily. Casey echoed and laughed twice, then began to wipe her mouth with her handkerchief.
"It turns out that Felix's brother said this at that time, and I never knew what he said to make my father so angry. After my father drove my brother to take care of the silver mines, he angrily told every guest that he would not admit that his brother was from our Goslar family...... I don't know if it's because of this, after his father was wronged, Felix's brother simply announced that he had completely severed ties with the family. β
Charlotte's expression was a little silent again, and Ofeichher didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to her brother, and she couldn't find words to comfort her for a while.
"It's time for me to go. I hope that before the wolf comes, I can get the house signed between these chaotic departments. β
He also wiped his mouth and face clean, got up to greet the two little ladies, and prepared to go out to finish today's task.
Charlotte immediately came out of her emotions and hurriedly stopped: "Ah, wait a minute. O-film, you're my assistant now. Maybe you should consider buying something a little more up-end? I can lend you money. β
He thought about the upper-class costumes he had seen on the street, the strange huge shawls and the wide puff sleeves, and he felt a chill in his heart.
Ofiicher hurriedly bowed his head and refused: "The current outfit is quite convenient for my activities. Maybe I should wait until the Goslar family goes through this difficult time and then upgrade the costumes. β
Charlotte nodded, telling him to step back and do his duty.
That being said, I'll have to go find Finn first.
As soon as he closed the door to Charlotte's suite, his mind raced through his mind.
For two weeks after the accident, the strange attitude of the church towards herself and Charlotte, who were the main witnesses of the covert events, turned out to be not only due to the confusion of the church's functions, but also related to the changes and turmoil of the church itself, and the behind-the-scenes game of using the Goslar family as a bargaining chip.
Now, according to the information given by Teresa, the game is nearing the end, the wronged marquis will be further dealt with, and the investigation of the hidden incident will also begin to advance, and the unknown forces that directly attacked Charlotte may also take action.
So, the options in front of Ophiecher are clear:
Or, completely abandon the petty obsession of reporting back to Charlotte Goslar, admit that you are at an extreme disadvantage in sorting out the situation, obtaining information, and solving problems, and walk away in order to protect yourself.
Or, stay here without doing anything, see one step at a time, passively follow the development of the situation, only pick the things that are beneficial to you, and avoid those things that you can't cope with, fulfill your most basic obligations, and pay attention to a benevolence and righteousness.
Or, they should sort out their own strengths and weaknesses, take certain risks, and take the initiative to improve and strengthen their means of dealing with the enemy and the building of their intelligence networks, until they establish a certain sphere of influence.
Yukzola recommended me exactly the first option-
But from yesterday's use of the subspace anchor coin she worked so hard to hand over and "meet" with her, it can also be seen that Yukzora does not have many suggestions and considerations that are suitable for her and tailored for herself. It's likely that she just wants to increase her hard power against the enemy as much as possible, and go back to the predetermined path that she should have embarked on.
And what I did earlier is the second option.
Ecstasy thought he was invincible, but he was confused and surprised when he encountered something, and he basically relied on luck to get by. I want to not take a risk, but I can't gather even a little information. If you encounter a strong person in the church, or the mastermind of Akatsuki and Rotten Moon, you can only rely on Finn's protection in confusion.
... With this in mind, it's self-evident what to choose.
Later, I should be able to meet Cornelia at the door of the tavern and ask her to show her the way, hoping not to run into the situation where people are not at home or in the office again.
He walked to the door of the tavern, but saw a familiar figure waiting for him outside the door.
Beneath the leather coat and crimson linen shirt, the short, athletic body stood more erect than when first seen. Curls of brown hair peeking out from under the two pointed purple hats, and a pair of dark black eyes stared at Ofiicher who had just come out of the doorway.
Massalia's messenger...?Ofey's heart jumped. This person seems to have been manipulated or hypnotized last night, could it be that he remembered his memories and came to trouble me?
The messenger suddenly came up, lowered his head and whispered, "After you received the letter, did you have any reply that you would like me to help deliver?"
This... What the hell do you mean??
Ofiichher resisted the urge to swallow the saliva, and gently brushed them aside with his tongue, pretending to be relaxed and slightly confused: "Sir, this is the first time we have met, isn't it? β
The messenger looked at Ofiicher for a few moments, until Ofiicher wanted to leave in confusion, and then said, "Don't move, come with us to the church." β
