Chapter 6: Baron Frank
He lowered his head and opened the magic guide, and sure enough, he found various cultivation function buttons under the "Witch Management" button.
Attributes, Training, Gifts, Items, Equipment, Crystals, Talents, Skills......
Training a witch requires a consumption of vitality, but it can increase the strength of the witch, and it can also increase the friendship and trust of the witch, and give gifts to increase the bond.
He also looked up Ilya's information:

"In short, we are now in a symbiotic relationship of both prosperity and loss, so let's get along well in the future."
Charlotte spread her hands helplessly, he thought about it too, but his intuition told him that a lot of things would inevitably happen with this little feud in the future.
He glanced down at the magic guide again, the developer interface was now an important hole card.
The exchange button in the interface has been grayed out, and he remembers that the developer-specific item exchange is automatically unlocked every time a certain strength is reached, and there is no need to enter the redemption code again.
In the developer interface, he also found a small page-turning button in the corner.
The current page is "Player Panel - Demon Class", and it seems that there are other panels to switch between other pages besides this one.
But when he swipes the screen, a prompt pops up: "The other panels haven't been unlocked yet, please continue exploring."
Sure enough, in addition to the player panel, there are other panels hidden in this developer interface.
After finishing the situation, Charlotte looked out the window at the rapidly receding woods, where the carriage was heading towards the town of Yerba Cauen, where her home was located.
After a moment, he casually asked, "Miss Elijah, what is the top of the witch ranking?" ”
"The Throne of the Bright Moon, it is said that it is the closest place to the goddess Mira, it is an existence that only the transcendent can touch, and the desire that can be fulfilled is unimaginable, it is the dream of every fallen demon and witch."
As she spoke, her eyes were full of longing, unconsciously turning into starry eyes.
The girl's side face shows a different kind of delicacy against the background of the moonlight.
Charlotte admired for a moment, looked out the window with her chin in her hand, and said lightly, "One day, I will show you the scenery at the top of the throne." ”
Ilya's pupils widened suddenly, and she looked at Charlotte's back, her lips moving, but she didn't speak.
She didn't choose the wrong person.
……
As the carriage continued to drive, a glimmer of light appeared in the darkness of the night in the distance, and it was the lights of the houses in Yerba Cao.
Seeing that it was close to the outskirts of the town, Charlotte asked Elijah to get off the carriage.
The carriage belonged to the Frank Mounties, and the two of them drove into town too ostentatious.
After dropping the carriage into the nearby woods, the two walked into the town.
Yerba Buena looks like a typical medieval town from afar, and as soon as you enter, you can see the tallest building in the town, the windmill mill used to grind grain.
Red-tiled and white-walled huts line the banks of the river.
In the center of the town is a Gothic church, under the jurisdiction of the Holy See.
It was nightfall, but the streets were still bustling, stray cats strolling leisurely under the cherry trees at the entrance of the village, and the sound of lutes playing and the noise of drunks at the tavern door.
Charlotte looked up to see that almost all of the streets were illuminated by a high-tech metal street lamp.
This is an ether lamp unique to another world, and it uses the large amount of energy provided by the ether hedron to continuously illuminate.
It seems that the technology tree in the world of Diria is a little crooked, for example, there are obviously black technologies such as aether energy lamps and magic guides, but the commonly used means of transportation are still primitive carriages.
Of course, this may also be the reason why Yerba Buena belongs to the backward agricultural area of the Kingdom of Sophia. After all, Charlotte grew up in the countryside and never saw a big city outside of Yerba Buena.
"Now that I've become a demon devastate, will I be discovered by the towns?" Charlotte asked.
"Don't worry about that." Ilya held out her little finger and shook it.
"The Fallen Demon's aura on the surface looks a lot like that of a normal Chosen One, such as now, outsiders will find out that you are just a Chosen apprentice who has not yet entered Sequence 9.
To put it simply, you can live with the vest of the Chosen One, and many of the Fallen will be able to live with humans in the human world. ”
Charlotte thought that every year in Sofia there would be exceptions: Muggles who failed the Aether test would later prove themselves as the Chosen One because they were stimulated or the test was incorrect.
As long as he didn't deliberately expose his weakness of not being able to absorb the ether, he could almost hide it.
Taking advantage of the cover of night and the noise of the streets, the two men smoothly entered the block.
At this time, members of the Frank Mounted Police can still be seen on the street, patrolling the streets on war horses with great vigour.
As Charlotte passed the corner near her home, she suddenly heard a commotion in the street ahead.
After a closer look, Charlotte said to herself, no wonder the town was so heavily guarded tonight.
It turned out that the team of "Smiling Baron Frank" was passing through the main road of the town, and the direction of the convoy should be on the way back to the castle.
As the hereditary lord of Frank's domain, Baron Frank's pomp and circumstance are naturally extraordinary.
The horses under these knights were dressed in treacherous horse armor, and the etheric energy was circulating on the horse armor, and high-pressure steam was constantly spewing out from the exhaust ports on both sides of the horse armor.
This steam horse armor is an invention similar to an auxiliary exoskeleton that allows warhorses to run at a faster speed.
When Ilya first entered the human world, he sighed ignorantly: This is pomp, is this the emperor of your human world?
Charlotte smiled and shook her head.
However, the feudal lords of the Kingdom of Sophia enjoyed a high degree of freedom.
The lord can govern internal affairs and collect taxes in his own domain, and even have his own armed forces, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the emperor of the soil.
Charlotte saw Frank at the front of the crowd.
Frank is huge, like a cold brown bear. The pair of inverted triangular eyes on his face narrowed into a slit, revealing indifference and solemnity.
He twitched rosacea, as fat as his body, and wore a luxurious velvet gown, swaggering through the city.
Charlotte soon notices that something is wrong.
Everywhere Baron Frank passed, the people around him burst into laughter, some hysterical, some subtle, and some even burst into tears.
But many people are clearly full of sadness and fear in their eyes, but they are still barely squeezing out a smile on their faces.
Especially when Baron Frank rode past them, the fear on their faces and the curvature of the corners of their mouths reached their greatest at the same time, and the saddest and happiest expressions appeared on one face at the same time, and there was nothing more strange than this.
Ilya felt a chill and whispered, "Mr. Charlotte, the people of your hometown are really ...... It's weird. ”
On the contrary, the only one who didn't laugh during the whole process was Frank himself.
As if pleased with the laughter of the people, Frank pulled out a metal mask from his pocket and put it on his face.
The mask has a face outlined with black lines, the same as the Frank Mounted Police logo.
"Why doesn't that weird fat man laugh?" Ilya said secretly.
"Because he can't laugh."
Charlotte recalls the rumors of the town.
When Baron Frank was a baby, he had a leprosy and walked around the ghost gate.
In the end, although he recovered from his illness, his facial nerves were permanently destroyed and he could no longer grin.
Thus, the twisted Frank issued the first new decree when he succeeded to the throne:
When Frank goes out on a street trip, all the people who see him have to laugh wildly. When Frank returns to his castle, the territory-wide rule is forbidden.
In other words, in public within Frank's domain, "laughing" itself has become a noble right.
When you have to laugh, when you can't, and what the penalties are for violating the law, this series of discretion is all in the hands of the Frank family and his mounted police regiment.
Only the nobles of the Frank family are free to laugh.
On a celebration like today's, Frank would especially allow the people to laugh at Frank's favor.
"What a pervert." Ilya muttered in disgust.
As soon as she finished speaking, Frank's ears twitched and he frowned. With a wave of his hand, he stopped the convoy and looked in the direction of Ilya.
