As Rachel said this, Charlotte had a vague idea of what her peers would do.

"Are they..."

Charlotte was interrupted by Rachel just as she spoke.

"Instead of continuing to play, they began to split up and look for your tracks in the neighborhood for about an hour. They didn't find you in any effort to find you, and they didn't dare to go into the woods, so they ran to our door and told me about your disappearance, which really startled me at the time. ”

Charlotte answered at this time: "So my mother came out to look for me, right?"

Rachel slapped Charlotte on the back and said, "Yes, yes, if these children hadn't come to report, I probably wouldn't know where you went today." You're going to lie to me and say that you fell while playing with a friend, and there's no one in the world who knows your mind better than I do. ”

When Charlotte heard this, she immediately felt a chill down her spine, and said, "Mother's intuition is really sharp, she actually guessed almost all my thoughts, if she didn't find this, I really planned to say that... Fortunately, there are no scars on my back, otherwise I am afraid that I would not have been able to fool me anyway, which is really thrilling. ”

Although Rachel knew her daughter's thinking pattern, she certainly couldn't spy on her daughter's thoughts, and still said to herself at this time: "How can your friends know that you have gone so far alone, of course I can't see you." By the way, my mother asks you a question, and you must tell my mother the truth. ”

"What kind of question? Although the mother asked, the daughter knew everything. ”

"After climbing the small hill to the east of the village, there is the official road to Dusk Snow City not far away. Do you want to go to Twilight City alone? After all, you've always liked to flip through books related to Twilight Snow City, and my mother can feel that you are very yearning for the royal city of our Imperial Spirit Kingdom, I don't know if I'm right. Rachel asked tentatively.

"Sure enough, she deserves to be her mother, and she is crooked. I hadn't been to the hill at all, but a trip to Syracuse was one of my biggest dreams of life. What should I do, should I tell the truth?" Charlotte hesitated, her mind wandering between telling the truth and lying.

"What are you thinking? You can't lie to me. My mother assures you that as long as you tell the truth, I will not blame you, my mother just wants to know what you really think in your heart. Rachel said earnestly.

The true feelings in Rachel's eyes made Charlotte immediately get rid of her worries, and said truthfully: "Mother, you guessed right. From a very young age, I was curious about Snowfell, with its inns, teahouses, and glittering royal palaces.

From now on, as long as there is literature about Twilight City, it will become a reading material that I can't put down. I dream of one day being able to wander in such a bustling world, wandering freely, visiting all the places I have never experienced in my life, as if this is the only way to be satisfied. ”

And so it was. It's a pity that you were born in such a poor family, and you don't even have the financial resources to take you to Twilight City once, we dragged you down..."

At this point, Rachel lowered her head, with a look of loss in her eyes, and her eyes turned red.

"My father and mother gave birth to me and raised me, and I will repay this great kindness for the rest of my life

Not endlessly. If there is no father, I can't be in this world at all, and how can I drag it down, please forgive my daughter for disagreeing with such a statement. ”

Charlotte's words were sturdy, loud, and her tone of seriousness was very different from the way she usually spoke.

Rachel also felt Charlotte's dissatisfaction with her words, and every word in Charlotte's mouth showed her sincere love for her parents, and Rachel was very touched by that filial piety.

"Charlotte... You are such a good boy, my mother shouldn't have scolded you, it was my mother who misunderstood you. My mother promises you that when you become an adult, our family of three will definitely go to Dusk Snow City to have a good time, and we will never regret it. Rachel's voice fluctuated with excitement.

Charlotte shook her head at this time and said with a smile: "Mother, in fact, this dream is not out of reach, maybe I can go to Dusk Snow City in a year or two." ”

"What do you mean by that, you're penniless, how are you going to go?" asked Rachel, puzzled.

"There is one thing I have never told you, my mother knows the origin of my master. ”

"She was a guest from outside, and she had always seemed quite mysterious, and although she had lived in the village for more than a year, no one dared to offend her. She has very little contact with the people in the village, and the only person in the village who meets her frequently is you, so how can I know her identity. ”

"You can guess. Charlotte said in a joking tone.

"I really don't know anything about your master, so don't sell it anymore, just say it. Rachel urged.

"Okay. Master is a wandering monk, and I should have mentioned that to you. But even a homeless man must have a hometown, and Master's family is a famous family in Twilight City, and she is the daughter of a grain merchant in Twilight City.

According to Master, their family's business is well-known and has been passed down for hundreds of years. However, the master did not have the talent for business, but had the talent to practice spells, so her father invited well-known monks in Dusk Snow City to teach her spells. ”

Rachel listened quietly to her daughter's description of her master, and there was a look of envy on her face.

"Why would a man from such a privileged family stop in such a barren place? Could it be that the rumor is true? Rachel couldn't help but wonder.

Rachel then asked Charlotte, "Natsu, do you know why she chose to live here? If she just wants to rest for a while, she can go back to Twilight City and enjoy that incomparably rich life." What is there about this kind of poor and white place that can attract her?"

"Mother, in fact, I have asked Master this question, but the answer she gave me made me doubtful. ”

"I'd like to hear her reasoning. ”

"Master said she stayed here because she met me. When she said this, Charlotte's face was slightly red, and she looked a little embarrassed.

"Haha, my Xiaoxia is so charming, she deserves to be the village flower. Rachel was immediately amused by Charlotte.

"Mother, I'm not kidding, that's what Master told me. She said that she did not slack off after leaving the school, and continued to devote herself to cultivation and worked hard to study the 'elements'

The spells recorded in the Mystical Books, she later cultivated to break through the level, and relied on her own extraordinary wisdom to develop several extremely exquisite techniques.

She says that the spells she had painstakingly invented would be meaningless if they could not be passed on, so she began to search for suitable successors on her travels. She searched for more than ten years but found nothing, until she stumbled upon me at Grandpa John's fruit shop, and she fell in love with me at first sight, firmly believing that I was the one she had been looking for.

Master said that my qualifications are excellent, and I can get twice the result with half the effort by cultivating spells. So she decided to stay here and pass on to me everything she had learned and created all her life. ”

Rachel nodded when she heard this, and said, "Mother understands, did your master make any promise to you?" ”

"Mother is so smart, Master once promised me that as long as I fully comprehend all the spells in the first chapter of the 'Elemental Secret Codex', she will take me to Dusk Snow City for a while. Therefore, as long as I concentrate on my practice, I will be able to realize my dream in three or five years, and I don't need my father and mother to worry about me. Charlotte said confidently.

"That's really going to congratulate you. Encountering such an outstanding master is an opportunity that countless people dream of, you must practice hard, punish the traitors and eliminate evil in the rivers and lakes in the future, and become a hero admired by all people.

Traveling to Twilight City is a trivial matter, but becoming a world-famous monk is a life-changing event, and you must remember that. Cultivation is not only to fulfill dreams, but also to become a 'useful' person to the world. ”

Charlotte benefited a lot from Rachel's teaching.

"Mother, I will not forget your teachings and contribute to the spirit race and even the whole world in the future. ”

"I believe that Xiao Xia will be a well-known big man in the Imperial Spirit Country in the future. ”

The mother and son chatted hotly, but completely ignored the black cat lying on the ground.

Although the black cat was ignored by the two, it stayed quietly aside, did not disturb the process of communication between the two at all, and behaved very well-behaved.

The "silent" black cat made Charlotte almost forget about its existence, and she didn't remember it until she finished talking to her mother.

Charlotte then pointed to the black cat and said to Rachel, "Mother, did you see this black cat just now?"

"Of course I saw it, this should be another pet, let's leave it alone. Cats have extraordinary memories and can find their way home no matter how far they run, and will naturally go back when they have been outside enough. Rachel explained to Charlotte.

"Mother, where did you think of it. This cat is not someone else's house, but I picked it up on the other side of the hill, and it roams there alone, with a wounded front paw, and looks very pitiful.

I used a spell to heal its wounds, and then tried to let it go, but I didn't expect it to follow me all along, as if it had taken me for its master. I saw it homeless, so I wanted to keep it..."

Speaking of this, Charlotte suddenly couldn't speak, she secretly looked at Rachel's face, afraid that her mother would suddenly show a displeased expression.

However, the scene she imagined did not appear, and Rachel said calmly: "It turned out that you picked it up, and I thought it was someone else's pet." You want to adopt it at home, don't you?"
