Chapter 1: The Witch's Cocoon

Next Chapter

The heavy wheels of the carriage made a rhythmic turn, and the musty-smelling wooden carriage swayed from side to side.

"The witch's cocoon escorted this time must be executed before midnight, and your eyes are bright, otherwise Lord Baron Frank will not spare you."

The roar in her ears refocused Charlotte's eyes and brought her consciousness back.

He sits in a dilapidated carriage in the style of medieval classicism, and the setting sun casts mottled and hideous shadows on the surface of the carriage through the curtains full of small holes.

In addition to him, there were five other soldiers in the carriage, dressed in heavy armor, nervously guarding a large egg-shaped object in the middle of the carriage.

A witch's cocoon? Lord Baron?

These terms are familiar.

After falling into a brief confusion of doubting her life, Charlotte realizes -

He crossed the ......

Originally from the 21st century East, he works for a two-dimensional game company and is a game screenwriter by profession.

Last night, in order to submit the game version on time, the project team stayed up until 4 o'clock in the morning, and he remembered that his last eyes were black and he fell directly on the workstation.

In the science and technology park where the company is located, there will be news of the sudden death of an employee 996 from time to time, but I didn't expect him to win the lottery.

His original name was not Charlotte, which was the name of the protagonist of his story.

Coupled with the familiar noun he had just heard, he was even more convinced that he had traveled to a game that was being developed.

Memories of this world flooded into his brain like a tidal wave.

Diria, is the name of this world.

He is Charlotte Reinhardt, born in the town of Frank Greengrass in the Kingdom of Sophia, who has just celebrated his 18th birthday as a farmer working for the lord.

Such a start made his heart chill slightly.

In the Middle Ages, when there were strict hierarchical barriers, family origin could basically determine the trajectory of a person's fate.

Some people were born in Rome, and some people were born mules and horses.

"But why am I sitting in a carriage in armor?"

He began to work hard to explore the memories of the original owner.

It turned out that at the recent 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, Charlotte underwent an "ether suitability test".

The entire human civilization of Diria was built on a substance called aether crystals.

Aether, the source of all elements, life, and magic, is the cornerstone of civilization and technology.

Teenagers who can pass the Aether Suitability Test will become the "Chosen One" and will have the opportunity to practice Aether magic and combat skills, and be promoted in the cultivation sequence.

Those who were not selected were called "Muggles" and would never have a chance to turn over again for the rest of their lives. But after all, there are only a few people who are favored by God, and less than one in ten people are fortunate enough to be the chosen ones of God.

Charlotte's assessment on this test was: Muggles of pure blood.

The other unsuccessful candidates who took the test at the time received only Muggle comments, and he was the only one in the audience to receive the additional prefix review.

The tester's heart-wrenching words basically determined Charlotte's status as a lifelong mule and horse kneeling family.

But he is a man who is not willing to give in to fate.

Not long ago, Yerba Grass Town posted a notice to recruit temporary guards to escort the witch's cocoon, and Charlotte resolutely signed up.

Although this job is not in the establishment of the Knights, the treatment is not as good as that of related households, and the daily salary is only 30 copper coins, but it earns more than farming.

"It's hard to cross like the male protagonist of a different world animation, and it turned out to be this kind of hell start."

Charlotte sighed, refocusing her attention on the witch's cocoon in front of her.

The egg-shaped object is a man's height, with a white, translucent case that glows with a blood-red glow that flickers and dims, like a budding tiller.

It was surrounded by heavy black iron chains, and directly below the egg, there was a secret pattern magic array that emitted blue light, suppressing the power in the cocoon.

"Array of Azure Shackles", a primary aether magic, requires at least Sequence 9 or higher of the Chosen One to be cast.

Charlotte looked at the guards around her, who were also temporary workers, and found that their eyes were full of nervousness and fear for the egg.

Throughout the world of Diria, legends about witches circulate.

Unlike the Chosen One, who are blessed by the goddess of the sun, Sia, and have a bright future, witches are in another dimension in this world.

According to legend, they are the evil seeds abandoned by the goddess of creation, the apostles of the evil god of the world, Mela, and they are synonymous with almost all the killings, resentments, and sins in the world.

Even in the Celestial Journey, the creation scripture compiled by the Pope of Hertis, it is ashamed to record any words about Mira and his apostles.

But few people have seen witches with their own eyes, and all the sins about witches are mostly passed on by word of mouth among the people, which deepens the fear of the people.

And the embryo that gives birth to a new witch is the witch's cocoon......

Charlotte turned to open the curtain through the small gap and looked out the window.

A knight was riding slowly to the side of the carriage.

He was wearing streamlined alloy armor, and the aether energy that emitted a silver glow slowly flowed along the armor pattern.

On the left chest of the armor, there is a strange smiley face emblem plated with a monkey's cheeks, he is the squad leader of the Mounted Police under the command of "Smiley Baron Frank" - Daniel Berg, Combat Sequence 9: Lancers.

This organized mounted police officer is the person in charge of destroying the witch's cocoon this time, and Charlotte's temporary workers are estimated to be only used to carry the black pot and the meat shield on their backs in the event of an accident.

Seeing someone open the curtains, Daniel raised his eyebrows and reprimanded:

"Look at what, go back!"

His face was angry, his hand was on his spear, and he was about to attack, when the driver of the car said flatteringly:

"Mr. Daniel, why should you be honest with a lowly Muggle. The children of tenant farmers in the countryside have no knowledge, and they can only survive in a small circle like a frog at the bottom of a well all their lives. ”

Hearing the other party say this, the anger on Daniel's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by the usual arrogance.

He pulled out a palm-sized contraption from his bosom, which resembled a classical silver mirror with patterns, but the sapphire mirror displayed all kinds of information.

"Temporary soldier Charlotte, in violation of Article 17 of the Mounted Police Corps Vigilance Regulations, has her daily pay cancelled and fined as a punishment."

As he spoke, he clicked on the mirror to enter the information.

Soon, a few ticks sounded in Charlotte's arms, and he looked down and pulled out an almost identical gadget from his bosom.

A new message appears on it:

"Dear Frank Leader of Greengrass - Pure Muggle - Mr. Charlotte, your account was deducted 30 copper coins on July 31, 1200 A.H. for the following reason: Frank Mounted Police Punishment."

"Your account balance is 5 copper coins, if you have any questions, please go to the Central Bank of Sofia for advice."

The device is called a magic guide, and the communication and display technology in it is the product of the world's etheric technology.

Every citizen of Sophia will be given their own magic guide at the age of 18.

For the Chosen One, the various menus in the Guide can assist them in their cultivation.

But for the average Muggle, the magic guide is just something like an ID or something, if anything—it's probably used to receive all sorts of fines.

At this time, Charlotte's heart was dripping blood, and the 30 copper coins needed their family to work for a month to save, which was a coming-of-age gift from his sister Venia, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

The other soldiers in the carriage looked at Charlotte with fear and disgust, and they unconsciously sat farther away, for fear of being implicated by Charlotte.

Charlotte sneered a few times, ignored them, and continued to look down at the wizard magic weapon:

Name: Charlotte Reinhardt

Information: Terran, male, 18 years old

Wealth: 5 Copper Coins

Sequence: Muggles of pure blood

Attribute: No right to unlock.

Equipment: Not unlocked.

Items: Not unlockable.

Skill: No right to unlock.

Spirit Crystal: No right to unlock.

After reading it, he felt speechless for a while, this is a proper Muggle panel.

But he suddenly found that the interface layout of the magic guide was very similar to the main menu of the game he participated in.

With the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, he clicked the buttons in the menu more than a dozen times in the order he remembered.

Immediately after that, the magic guide pops up a message:

"Hidden mode activated, developer authentication successful...... Please wait."

"Loading Debug interface, version number v1.1.10...... Please wait."

"Failed to load, Error.00001: Unlock conditions not met, please explore on your own."

“??????”

Charlotte's expression changed in a matter of seconds.

But all in all, it's good news that you can successfully activate your developer status, and then you have to find a way to unlock it.

Just as he was immersed in pondering the magic guide weapon, the ghostly female voice that came from inside the witch's cocoon caused him to suffer a cardiopulmonary arrest:

"Yes...... Listen...... Arrive...... Is it? ”

Charlotte looked up suddenly, and the red light of fetal movement inside the witch's cocoon was obviously much more intense.

And, I don't know if it's his delusion, he always feels that the eggshell has become more transparent than before.

You can faintly see the silhouette of the girl inside.

Charlotte looked up, and the other guards didn't seem to hear the voice of the girl in the cocoon, still staring at her toes in silence, for fear that she would also be fined 30 copper coins.

"Is she talking to me?"

As soon as Charlotte had this idea in her heart, a girlish voice suddenly appeared in her heart again.

"Hey, can you hear that confident and handsome gentleman with a magic guide in his hand?"

“……”

Charlotte remained silent, fiddling with the magic guide with a blank face.

Article 5 of the Sofia Civil Security Training Manual: Don't respond to the witch's accosting! Don't respond! Don't respond!

The girl in the cocoon called several times again, and found that Charlotte did not answer, and began to be anxious, and her voice gradually changed from a resentful and weird tone to a soft and cute tone, and even deliberately said the clip sound.

"A nasty knight will bully people, and I will only feel sorry for gie~gie~"

Charlotte's hair stood on end, she couldn't bear the attack of the clip, and couldn't help but look up at the witch's cocoon.

"Miss, you don't have to."

"So you can hear me?!"

The witch's cocoon moved slightly, and she seemed a little angry.

"Oh, the witch has nothing to do, she must have other plans."

Charlotte didn't open her mouth to speak, but responded in her heart, and the other party seemed to receive the message.

This is probably the power of the witch.

"But I really praise you, it's really rare for someone who has a net worth of only 5 copper coins but is so calm......"

You scold again!

Seeing Charlotte's gloomy face, the girl in the cocoon quickly diverted the topic interestingly:

"Sir, I came to you for a reason, you are a rare "Fallen Demon Holy Body", being a guard is really condescending, the witch contract understands?"
