Chapter 366: Meeting
I don't know how long later, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside the cell, and there seemed to be quite a few people listening to the movement. With the light of the approaching fire, someone was approaching the cell where everyone was, and a vigorous large group of people, including men and women, old and young, with torches in their hands, looked menacing.
Looking at the dress, these people should be the hidden forest witches that Charlene is looking for, but the clothes on their bodies are very different from Charlene's.
Although they were dressed in coarse cloth and simple clothes, the details of these people's clothing still stood up to scrutiny, and it can be seen that even if the living conditions are simple, the forest witches in the forest still care about the quality and details of life. This also happens to match the records in the literature: in the heyday, most of the wizards were born into prominent and wealthy families, and even if they later encountered accidents and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, they still retained the habits and temperament left by the noble ancestors.
Because they are now in someone else's territory, and the other party is numerous and menacing, Nick and Elsa were a little shocked, and could only look at each other in a daze and a large group of people nervously speechless; Charlene remained silent, just looked at the other party and the other people, not knowing what she was thinking.
At this time, the door of the cell was opened.
A strong man with a big shoulder and a round waist walked in with his head down, and then looked at everyone in the cell sharply, and finally stopped his gaze on Charlene.
He looked at Charlene carefully for a moment, and then said in an unkind tone: "You, come out for me!" ”
After listening to the strong man's words, everyone in the prison suddenly became calm, and everyone who came with the strong man on the other side of the cell also became geared up, obviously very wary of Xia Lin and the others.
So Charlene opened her mouth and shouted: "Don't act rashly! Xiaoxin and Brady stopped moving.
Charlene glanced back at the strong man, and then said with a calm expression, "I'll go with you." With that, she got up and walked to the cell door.
The expression on the strong man's face was slightly soothed.
Xiaoxin was quite anxious at the moment, he wanted to step forward to stop him, but he understood that even if he tried, it would be useless, so he had to sit in place and remain silent, but his eyes kept staring at Xia Lin's figure, unwilling to relax for a moment.
Charlene herself seemed to be completely unconcerned, and at the moment she stepped through the prison door, she turned around and smiled at Xiaoxin easily: "It's okay, I'll take you out immediately." ”
Xiaoxin relaxed a little at this time.
After leaving the cell, a large group of people left around Xia Linhao, leaving only Xiaoxin and the other four, and the cell returned to silence and coldness.
Along the way, due to Charlene's cooperation, the others treated her politely, neither restricting her behavior nor verbally insulting, but they all stared at Charlene with a vigilant face, but Charlene behaved more calmly.
Charlene pretended to follow the crowd casually, but in fact carefully memorized the terrain and route along the way, just in case she needed it. I don't know how long it took, Charlene finally came to an empty hall under the guidance of everyone.
The layout of the hall is quite different from other places, less life-like, more quaint and elegant. On both sides of the wall, there are tall and intricate display shelves, on which are placed all kinds of strange and rare objects, quite in the style of wizards; On the display case on the inner wall are all kinds of old books, although Charlene can't see what those books are, but she also knows that these should be the classic materials brought by those wizards who lived in seclusion with Anzu, the most proud protégé of Flower Dance more than 600 years ago.
In front of the display case, there were more than a dozen simple and elegant square chairs, and Charlene noticed that Roslie was now sitting on the square chair closest to the center of the hall, looking at herself with an expression of unease. When she saw that Charlene had also come to the hall, she subconsciously stood up; However, Roslie quickly realized that there was something wrong with her behavior, and quickly sat down again.
All this was seen by everyone present.
In addition, there are several old men standing in the middle of the hall, and judging from their dress and temperament, it is not difficult to see that they are the people in power here.
An old woman in her sixties, in good spirits and with blazing eyes; An old man in his seventies, swaying with a cane in his hand, seemed to be unable to stand still. But his eyes are still sharp, and at first glance he is a master who is not easy to mess with; There was also a kind old woman with gray hair and a smile on her face, but it was impossible to see what she was thinking.
Without warning, the strong man from before suddenly pressed Charlene to the ground at this moment, making her unable to move; And after Charlene struggled a few times and found that she couldn't break free, she gave up the idea of resisting and obediently tied her hands and was arrested.
After that, a large group of others surrounded Charlene in Ulala, obviously to give her a dismount, and to suppress Charlene from the momentum.
Charlene didn't panic, and she didn't resist too much when she was crawling on the ground, but raised her head with difficulty.
And a path has now been opened in the crowd around Charlene, and the three old men and old ladies from before have appeared in front of Charlene.
The old man on crutches looked down at Charlene, Charlene also looked up at the old man, the two looked at each other, the old man's brows furrowed slightly, and then said, "That's you, right?" ”
Charlene raised her eyebrows: "I don't understand what you mean." ”
The old man was not annoyed, but just motioned for the crowd to get out of the way, and Roslie appeared in front of Charlene tremblingly, still holding Charlene's witch staff in her hand.
"I mean: you're the one who forced us to show up and find a way to mislead our judgment into thinking that she was the one who caused the explosion outside, and then delayed time, right?" The old man said unhurriedly.
Charlene didn't answer the old man's words immediately, but a noncommittal smile appeared on the corner of her mouth; But in fact, all this was indeed expected by Charlene, without the slightest deviation.
