Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 53. From Senna to Suvaro

"Yes...it's Lord Leon, he summoned it, sister, it's too scary, has your lord been eaten by a monster?"

Licia controlled her disgusted expression, she didn't like children acting like a baby. "Yes, why did he invite monsters? Ordinary people are afraid of strange beasts."

The little boy seemed to muster his courage, and Licia heard him take a deep breath, then sigh, then inhale again. "Yes, for evidence, an emerald ring."

"Ring?" Licia heard that the evidence was a ring, and suddenly felt that this matter had nothing to do with Dimitri, but she decided to continue looking for something. After all, she is now a big villain and should be against the church.

The little boy searched earnestly in the dirt. "yes."

Licia discovered something secretly hidden by the little boy with her extraordinary sense of hearing and vigilance.

"Take it out." Licia held his wrist, illuminating his pale face with a ring of silver thorns.

When the boy dared to find something in a pile of flesh and mud, Licia realized that something was wrong.

The little boy didn't move, with a stubborn expression on his face. Licia clenched his wrist, pulled it out, and then opened his tightly clenched fist.

A plain emerald ring lay on the palm of his hand.

"This is something to be handed over to the church!" The boy's expression changed from embarrassment and anger to sadness and helplessness in a second.

"I'll hand it over to the church." Licia said blankly. After all, the little boy is still young. Apart from showing that he has deep scheming, this kind of acting can't fool anyone at all.

"Okay." The little boy wiped his hands, and then gave up struggling until he was not qualified to negotiate terms with Licia.

'The thorn pattern, there are also patterns in the gemstone, um, this is probably something of the royal family. 'Licia wants to understand why the church is looking for the ring, it should be related to the illegitimate child.

The forest at night was very eerie. Licia put the ring on and asked the boy with her head down. "Do you know where Sufaluo should go?"

"This way." The little boy didn't ask her why she was going from a place closer to Senna to Sufaro downstream.

With a disgust level of [-]%, Licia couldn't believe the direction the boy was pointing.

But she didn't want to waste a six-pointed star. "If you lie to me, or fool me, I'll kill you on the way."

Threats are often more useful than inducements for this kind of duplicity child.

"I didn't lie to you! I reminded you just now, just at the time of the final attack of the ooze monster! Sufaluo is indeed in the east, but Senari is closer, why don't you call a carriage from Senna to Sufa Faro." The little boy was afraid of being interrupted by Licia, and he expressed his loyalty and explained in one breath.

"Very well, let's go to Senna first, and then I'll take you to Sufaluo. The people from the head church are now in Sufaluo. Of course, the credit is naturally indispensable to you." Licia thought he just wanted to show credit.

"Can't find anyone?" Dimitri walked from the window to the door and met the defender general.

"It's okay, Your Highness, the heptapods will definitely not harm Miss Licia, we just need to look for her along the river." Troy once again divination for Dimitri. "And it turned out that she was fine, and she might come back by herself soon."

Walking in from the hall were three churchgoers in robes. In the middle were Sufaluo and Senna, and Bishop Lalp of the Toroka region downstream.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Bishop Lalp was a young male. He had a long black beard and tied it with a golden thread at the bottom. The skin of his face was sunken due to no fat. "I am very ashamed to hear that you were injured."

"It's useless to be ashamed, my lord, the son of Sufaluo City Lord is a wild boar, and the church has not reported it so far. This is a very serious dereliction of duty." Dimitri is listing the crimes of the church, which is one of them. .

Bishop Ralph's eyes were also sunken badly, and he frowned as he looked at Dimitri. "Your Highness, you seem to have some prejudice against the church, and we don't know that the city lord will hide it. After all, people from the church are not allowed to enter the homes of nobles casually."

The bishop was clearly good with words.

Meanwhile, Lycia had just found a coachman willing to take her to Sufaro.

"But let's agree, three gold coins." Usually, from Senna to Sufaluo, even if the round trip is full of people, you can earn eight silver coins.

However, Licia's concept of money is very vague, and she doesn't feel cheated.

The little boy was twisting his body, taking a deep breath, as if he wanted to run.

In the end, he followed Licia into the carriage and sat obediently opposite her, with his hands under his buttocks and his head bowed.

It was the first time for Licia to ride in this kind of open carriage, and she was not used to it. When going out of the city, the car ran over a rock and almost made her fall.

There are roads protected by magic circles between towns, so even at night, goods can be transported.

However, every checkpoint on this official road needs to pay taxes according to the weight of the goods. Due to the rampant animals in the Sufaluo area, other roads are almost unusable. Many businessmen are unwilling to pay expensive taxes, so they leave Sufaluo one after another. , The loss of business gradually led to the economic backwardness of Sofaro.

The safe official road is very narrow, just enough for two standard carriages to pass.

"Do you know what the church wants this ring for?" Licia folded her arms and looked at the boy's face.

Although the age seems to match the illegitimate child, but the appearance is too different.

It's not like Dimitri, and there is no resemblance to Dichaman.

"It seems to be to prove a person's identity." The little boy lowered his head and answered in a low voice.

To prove the identity of the illegitimate child?No way, would Dimitri's aunt be so careless, and still leave a royal token for her illegitimate child.

"Who?" Licia calmly watched the little boy's level of disgust continue to rise.

"I don't know, sister, I really don't know anything." The little boy began to cry again.

The coachman even turned to look at them.

Licia is really not used to riding in this kind of open carriage.

Especially in several carriages that passed by, every man stared at Licia with their greasy eyes.

Lycia decided to bring the child to Dimitri for trial, the privacy of the open carriage was too poor.

"What kind of car is that?" Licia saw a carriage completely covered by golden cloth.

"The church car," the coachman answered her.

The little boy's neck was visibly stiff, and he slowly turned his head to take a look. "They must be looking for Lord Leon! We should give them the things."
