Chapter 40: Preparation for Execution
"So there's a chance?" said Canette. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Sure enough, this kind of thing is better for Lucina.
"I ...... No Guarantees. Lucina hesitated. The action of eating the cake also stopped: "It's really difficult. β
"There are a lot of things that you say are difficult, and in the end they are not done. Cannet's expression was hopeful.
"Uh......h I'm under a lot of pressure when you're expecting you so much......" Lucina hesitated for a moment, and finally laughed: "Forget it, I'll just do my best." I'm glad you're the first to call me when something like this happens. β
"Lucina ......" Canette was also moved.
"So, how much money are you going to give me?" Lucina turned, smiling evilly.
"Uh...... I'll take a look......" Canette hurried to rummage through her wallet, and the mage's laughter was heard.
"Hey, do you think I'm really going to ask for money?! Lucina stood up, patted Canette on the shoulder with a relieved face, and put a pretty nice smile on her little face: "You go and prepare the spell materials, and bring them to this place tomorrow at noon--I'll talk about it when I have something to say, go and accompany your girlfriend." β
Canette didn't know what to say about Lucina's gratitude, and Lucina apparently didn't want to hear him say anything fleshy about thanks. Excited, he went out and rushed straight to Ash's side.
When he returned home, the witcher found that the girl hadn't slept yet. She had apparently been waiting for Canette to return, and hadn't even asked Canette what she had done. Because there was so much going on that day, he lay down next to Ash and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the witchers took care of Ash and hurried to the Holy Pillar City. As Lucina asks for a medium, he struggles to use the ring as a mediumβand it can also be used as a birthday present for Ash.
After meeting Lucina, Canette managed to obtain the enchanted ring. Almost everything is in place. However...... Canette has one last thing to do.
He went to Ash's father's house and knocked on the door.
......
Time flies, and happy days pass quickly.
Because he was fully prepared, when Ash was about to be taken away by the paladins, Canette had no sorrow in his heart except for nervousness.
"Happy birthday, Ash. Before she was taken away, Canette smiled and sent Ash's birthday wishes.
When the girl saw the ring, the expression of surprise and sadness lingered in Cannet's heart for a long time.
The two wore rings for each other, and the paladins saw this and consciously exited the door, leaving time for the two to say goodbye.
"Ash is ......so happy to be able to marry the person she likes before she dies," she said as she was taken away, her eyes red and swollen.
The paladins refused to allow Canette to accompany him, as if they were afraid that he would poke some kind of basket.
So he could only watch Ash leave. He couldn't imagine how scared the girl would be: after a moment of entering the city, she would be sent directly to the execution ground.
"Oh...... Is that the kid?" Lucina flashed to Canette from some distance away, leaning on the water elf, and staring at Ash with a serious face: "...... There is no witch's breath on his body yet. β
"Because although it is her birthday today, in fact, she will not be sixteen until the time she was born. Canette looked helplessly at Ash's appearance of being tied up with rope, and felt distressed.
"If Ash really dies like this, it feels like a sadistic story. Lucina muttered to herself, seemingly paying some attention to Cannet, "Hey, is your plan really okay?"
"No...... Probably. Canette said firmly, "Ash...... It may not last more than three days, so we need a location where we can keep an eye on the execution site at all times. β
"Well, you didn't give the wrong ring. Lucina yawned, "If the ring is in your hand, it's all gone." β
"I'm not stupid, of course I'm not wrong!" Watching the paladins drift away with a complicated expression, Canette decided to leave now: "Let's go, Lucina." Execution...... That is, the accommodation spots next to the church square are probably all looted. In this way, we can only settle for the next best thing and ask for a relatively high position. β
"In that case, how about we spend the next three days in Beicheng District? There is high ground there, and we can see it clearly. Let's set up a tent and we'll stay. Lucina proposed, "Hmm...... But your wife must have been scared when she was tortured, didn't you? Don't you have to watch her from the execution ground?"
β...... No. I can't bear it. Carnett's heart ached: "I ...... I also told Ash that I wouldn't go to see it. β
"If I didn't know what the hell you've done, I'd think you'd be a little ruthless. Lucina stared at Cannet, her face full of banter: "You don't understand women's hearts at all, don't you ......"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Cannet's mind was full of Ash, so he was a little distraught: "Let's go." β
"Well, hold on to me. Lucina summoned the water spirit Nashatia and held out an arm. After Canette reached out and grabbed her arm, Aiya yawned lazily and teleported the two to the heights of the northern city in the next second.
"This is it. We'll just wait here for three days. I'll put Guladan in charge of seeing if Ash is done with the execution. Lucina yawned, seeming a little sleepy. So he lay down directly on the ground and began to fall asleep in a daze: "You set up a tent first...... Then just throw me in. β

The giant axe of the enemy was about to cut off Lucina, but an ice armor suddenly covered Aya's body, and the giant axe flew on top of it.
"Uh-huh...... It's a pity. Lucina's face was full of pride: "Didn't I say it at the beginning? You have no chance of winning, so it's better to surrender quickly." β
Aiya suddenly condensed her mana, and instantly released a circular burst of freezing with herself as the center of the circle. The eruption of frost energy instantly froze the enemy's ankles, immobilizing them.
Ice Ring, which is very effective in preventing enemies from escaping. It can also be used to control the situation and subdue multiple enemies at once.
Because it is a partial freeze, it is still necessary to be careful of the enemy's counterattack.
