After seeing the situation outside the door, Rachel couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

She noticed at least a dozen villagers gathered outside the door, and at the front of them was Maris.

Rachel found that these people were all looking at each other, and several of them even had anger in their eyes, as if they were coming to seek revenge.

Rachel's actions made Rachel feel extremely weird, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead.

"Are they here to get into trouble? But we've never done anything offensive to anyone. ”

Rachel couldn't figure out how a family like theirs could get into such trouble.

Rachel was in a panic for a moment, her mind was already a mess, and she couldn't say a word.

After all, she is just an ordinary person, she has never experienced this kind of scene, and naturally she doesn't know how to deal with it. She didn't know what the purpose of the other party's "visit" was at the moment.

Seeing Rachel's panicked look, Maris misunderstood.

He thought that Rachel was a thief, so he panicked at this time, and couldn't help but be more sure of his judgment, feeling that there must be some ulterior secret hidden in this family.

Seeing that Rachel refused to speak, Maris asked, "We are not here to ask for trouble, but we have a few questions to ask for." I hope Madame can answer truthfully. ”

Rachel knew that there was no room for refusal at this time, so she had to bow her head lightly and say, "As long as I know, I will answer truthfully." ”

"Cool, then I'll start asking questions. ”

Maris was about to ask a question, but heard another female voice coming from inside the room, the voice was young and clear.

"Mother, who's outside?"

The voice was clearly coming from Charlotte's mouth.

Charlotte, who had been standing by her father's bedside, had heard a knock on the door just now, but she didn't choose to get up when she thought her mother was in the hall, she thought it was just a neighbor asking for a little help.

But when she noticed that the sound outside felt a little strange to her, she realized that there was something strange about the situation, and she had to go to check the situation outside the door, so she had to leave her father's side for a while.

Charlotte walked straight in the direction of the gate and asked her mother about the situation outside.

After hearing Charlotte's voice, Rachel and Maris reacted very differently.

Rachel was shocked and wanted to get Charlotte back to the room, but she didn't know how to give her daughter a hint, she definitely didn't want her daughter to be involved in this strange situation.

Marris, on the other hand, was very happy, after all, Charlotte was the target of their trip.

He learns from another villager that it was Charlotte, not Rachel, who had been in contact with the dark wizard, so only Charlotte could possibly know all the inside story. Rachel probably didn't know anything about the wizard, and probably didn't get the most important information out of her.

Only by asking Charlotte directly can they get the information they need most directly and effectively.

Seeing that Charlotte had come to the hall, Rachel was very anxious.

She put her left hand behind her back at this time and kept swinging at Charlotte, sending her a danger signal, the meaning of this gesture was obvious, that is, to tell Charlotte not to come.

When Charlotte saw her mother's gesture, she was more sure that it was an uninvited guest outside the door, she naturally knew what her mother wanted to express, but as a filial daughter, how could she let her mother face danger alone.

Over the course of the year, Charlotte has been reborn and completely different from what she used to be.

She no longer had to live under the wings of her parents, and as a monk who entered the country quickly, she already had the ability to take charge of herself, and she would not be easily frightened no matter what danger she encountered.

"Mother, this time it's your daughter's turn to protect you. ”

Charlotte muttered in her mind.

Ignoring her mother's flustered gestures, Charlotte smiled at her mother and gave her a look of "peace of mind".

Rachel read her daughter's eyes and understood what she was trying to say. 1234

Their mother and daughter have a heart to heart with each other, and one look can convey their hearts to each other.

"Xiao Xia, she wants me to leave this matter to her, but she is still so young, I really can't rest assured..."

After a moment's hesitation, Rachel was suddenly relieved.

"Although she is young, she is a cultivator and has excellent strength, and I really shouldn't underestimate her. Since she wanted to negotiate with those people, she might as well give it a try, which was also an experience for her, and there was no harm in it. All I have to do is watch over her. ”

Once she had figured it out, Rachel took a few steps back and gave up the space in the doorway.

Charlotte knew that her mother had approved of her actions, so she quickly went to the door and looked out.

When she saw the bustling crowd outside the door, a wave of doubt arose in her heart.

"We never seem to have anything to do with what these people are trying to do when they come to the door. ”

Charlotte then asked directly, "Who are you all and what is the purpose of coming here?"

Maris looked Charlotte up and down, then asked someone next to her, "Is that her?"

After receiving an affirmative response, Maris replied, "This is Miss Charlotte, we have not come here for any other purpose, but to have some questions, and I hope you will answer them truthfully." ”

"Just ask, and I'll answer in my mother's place. ”

Charlotte didn't refuse, she wanted to hear what these people's questions were about.

"Girl, listen. ”

Maris was unceremonious, and asked straight to the point: "A year ago, a tourist came to our village, stayed here, and did not leave quietly until a few days ago. Do you know who this person is?"

Hearing this, Charlotte's heart sank, and she wondered, "They are actually coming for Master, could it be that they have already mastered Master's identity?"

Charlotte immediately shook her head and said, "Who you are talking about, I don't know at all. ”

Maris seemed to guess that Charlotte would deny that he knew the "wizard", he smiled lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Girl, this answer is not in accordance with the rules, you obviously said that you would answer truthfully." ”

"There's no need for me to lie to you. ”

Maris gave a look to the person beside him, and the man immediately spoke: "There is no need to hide it, girl, I have seen you come into contact with that person many times, and you have said that seeing is believing, and you can't say that what I see is an illusion." ”

Charlotte knew that if she continued to deny it, she would definitely cause the people to be resentful, and maybe it would cause them to act aggressively, but in any case, she still didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she nodded.

"Even if I knew this person, she was just a visitor. ”

Maris burst out laughing, a mocking smile on his face.

"Visitor, do you think she's a visitor? Visitors stay in this backcountry for more than a year? Don't you think those words are ridiculous?"

"So what do you think of her identity? I don't know, anyway. ”

It is impossible for Charlotte to tell them the true identity of the master, so she can only continue to play dumb, hoping to extract more information from their mouths to see what kind of attitude they maintain towards the master, and how much they know about the master.

"She didn't tell you who she really is?" asked Maris in a serious tone.

In fact, Maris is not sure whether Charlotte knows the true identity of the "wizard", and of course he hopes that Charlotte knows enough about the person to accurately determine the whereabouts of the person, otherwise all clues will be interrupted.

But from Charlotte's eyes, Maris couldn't find any flaws, and he couldn't feel the change in Charlotte's mood at all.

Charlotte's eyes were like a pool of water that did not wrinkle, without the slightest fluctuation, and there was no weakness, anxiety or panic in it, her gaze seemed so calm and undisturbed.

This is the result of Charlotte's practice for a year, although she is still a child, but at this moment her state of mind is much more mature than that of ordinary adults.

"Of course not, we're just ordinary friends at best, so why would she tell me her details?" said Charlotte calmly.
