Chapter 173: A Young Girl
While she was in muse, Charles suddenly straightened his back and spoke with a calm look on his face.
"Go back to your family and tell everyone about Rhea's arrival."
A startled expression appeared on Daisy's face.
'Why is he letting go without making any precautions?' The anxiety in her heart grew.
"Hoho, don't try to think of anything funny. I already placed a mark in your Inner World and I can wipe out your whole mory in a few minutes. Unless you Rank-up and enter the Inner World, you won't be able to even find it." Noticing her anxiety, he let out a chuckle and gave a sharp reply.
'He really is an old monster!' Her body quivered all of a sudden.
"Go back and tell your family about this incident. If you plan on revealing anything about , the mark inside your soul will act up and started to devour your mory. So, be careful."
Nodding her head, Daisy regained her calm and bowed her head.
Then, she turned around, cast her wing spell, and flew towards the direction where she ca from.
anwhile, Charles wore an amusing smile on his face and turned into a fla before disappearing.
He appeared in front of the four-wheeled carriage a mont later, startling the two white horses, and tapped the red-gem embedded bracelet.
The next instant, the bracelet shone in a dim eerie red light and turned into a black cane.
Charles swiftly caught the cane, gripped the hand with his right hand, and started walking towards the carriage.
'Why didn't you kill her?' An old man's voice echoed in Charles's head.
'I have a big plan. Once she returns to her family, her father will definitely use so unique thod to search if everything is alright about his daughter. Once he finds out so odd energy is hiding in her Inner World, he would try his best to remove it.' Charles suddenly paused for a mont as he appeared near the carriage door, opened it, and continued while entering.
'That is what I want. During the past few months, I learned a few things about my spell models. All these seven spell models are unique and related to seven different fires. But when I checked information about this world's fire mages, I learned that they mostly gaining enlightennt from the Lawful Fire. In truth, over 95 percent of their spell models are created from the Lawful Fire. The remaining five percent belongs to Chaos Fire. There is no news about the other fires at all. Although so basic spells appeared from ti to ti, there seed to be no high-level spells about these other fires.' Saying so, he sat comfortably on his seat and told Noel to drive the carriage.
'You want to scare them?' At that mont, the Holem's Crown finally realized his plan.
'Scaring them is almost impossible because there is a Rank-5 Existence backing them. But I want to make others believe that I'm not a normal Rank-4 Mage, but an Ancient Mage with a mysterious past. Once they try to search for my true Identity using divination, they will definitely face an obstacle. Not only that, but they will also find out that my fate is constantly changing-'
At this mont, the Holem's Crown suddenly interrupted his talking.
'They will also think of you as an Irregular. After that, they will hesitate to send mages after us. If your plan goes successful, we don't need to be afraid of the Nobles and the Royal Factions anymore.'
'Yes.' Charles nodded inwardly and turned his gaze towards the hesitant-looking Rhea.
"Did sothing happen?" He asked.
"Yes, Teacher." Rhea nodded her head and added while pointing her finger at her ring.
"After you left, this ring suddenly started to vibrate and shone in a bright blue light."
Saying so, she took the ring from her hand and passed it to him.
anwhile, Charles took it from her hand and soon frowned.
'Sothing is odd about this ring…' He instantly cast the [Cryptic Analysis] skill and soon turned serious.
[Item: Ring of Frost
Rank: Rare (????)
Effect: This ring has a spell called 'Ice Land' engraved in it. When activating, this spell would send out ice elental energy and freeze the surroundings.
Caution: To activate this ring, the user must have a minimum of 15 Wisdom Points.
Cooldown: 2/Week.]
'Why there is a question mark near the Rank option?' Charles furrowed his brows for a mont and soon scanned it with his wisdom power.
But to his shock, he couldn't find anything odd at all!
'Is it due to the ancient spirits?' He returned the ring to Rhea and cast [Cryptic Analysis] skill on her.
'Hmm, her wisdom power has already reached 15. Did her increased wisdom trigger so chanism inside this ring? Is this the power of a Destined One?' Charles suddenly thought of sothing and asked in his mind.
'Mr. Runeth, can you check her luck?'
'I already checked their luck when they et you in Chester City. There was nothing abnormal about her.' An instant answer ca from the Holem's Crown.
'No. Check her luck now.' Charles shook his head and said.
anwhile, the Holem's Crown let out a dim light to show its dissatisfaction and scanned her.
A few seconds later, a surprised old man's voice echoed in his head.
'Oh? Her luck is triple the amount of a normal person's luck!'
'As I thought, sothing is influencing her fate.' He squinted his eyes.
"Keep this ring with you all the ti and tell if sothing odd happens."
Saying so, he closed his amber eyes and started to take so rest.
anwhile, Noel drove the carriage continuously and crossed the Redstar woods around the evening. Then, Titus took over Noel's job and started to drive.
…
June 18th Evening, Ash Region, Territory of Forge, Iron Kingdom.
It was around 6.30 P.M.
A lone four-wheeled carriage drove past farms and villages and soon entered dense woods. It was the woodland that separates Duke Peres's territory and Margrave Favian's territory.
Noel sat on the driver's seat and wore a blank expression on his face.
At first, he actually thought long-distance traveling would be fun. But now, he knew that it was indeed a very boring one.
'My butt is burning like hell.' He groaned in displeasure and soon saw the surrounding tall trees began to shroud the way, making the dirt path gloomier.
'I hope nothing weird happens this ti.' He warily looked at the side bushes and soon made a clicking noise.
The next second, the white horse in his right side let out an indignant snort and sped up a little. On the other hand, the left side horse didn't even wave its tail.
'This bastard surely looks down on these days.' He was about to whip the horse but suddenly froze.
At that mont, he saw an 18-year old young girl stood 100 ters away from the carriage and was blocking the way.
Her wavy deep-blue hair was fluttering due to the chilling wing and blocked half of her face. She wore an old linen white gown, wooden slippers and held a luggage bag in her right hand.
Due to the presence of tree shadows, Noel couldn't see her face clearly and guessed that she must be slightly older than Jessie.
Noticing her presence, both white horses slowed down their footsteps and made a neigh noise in unison.
A mont later, the carriage also slowed down and soon stopped, leaving a screeching noise behind.
anwhile, the young girl used the other hand to move her fluttering hair and started walking towards the carriage.
In ten seconds, she arrived beside Noel's right side and showed a nervous look on her oval face.
"Can you take to the town?" She asked with a smile.
Her voice sounded more like a lodic song in Noel's ear.
"Y-Yes." He subconsciously nodded his head but soon froze.
At that mont, Rhea stuck her head out and shouted.
"What happened?"
A wry smile appeared on Noel's face as he pointed his finger at the young girl and spoke.
"She is asking for a lift."
Upon hearing his words, Rhea showed a confused face.
She soon turned her face into an angry one and raged.
"Are you playing a prank on now?"
"What?!" Noel's mind went blank for a mont.
Before he could think further, Rhea pointed her finger at the deep blue-haired girl and said.
"Did you start to have hallucinations?" She paused for a mont and then added in a sharp tone.
"There is no one here!"
At that mont, Noel suddenly heard the sa lodic voice from the blue-haired girl's mouth.
"Can you take to the town?"
His body shuddered involuntarily!
