Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 79

79

On the morning of May [-]rd, Lantcos City was in a foggy weather.

Licia got up early in the morning, put on her inconspicuous clothes, and a pair of shoes she didn't usually wear.

He tied the bag containing Selene around his waist, then took out all the gold coins and potions from the box, and put them all into the backpack.

"It should be enough. That's all. I'll go to Shanglan Street to buy some clothes." Licia nodded, and after checking that everything was packed, she walked out of the dormitory.

Step into the fog with visibility less than five meters.

"It's a beautiful day today." Good weather for covert operations.Licia walked to the foot of the mountain, boarded the reserved carriage, and headed to Lanlan Street.

As usual, she wandered around the street twice, and then walked towards Flindona's bookstore.

Although she couldn't see the road clearly, Lizia felt that there were more people on Sail Lan Street today than usual.

The people who occasionally walked past made Licia feel out of place on Shanglan Street.

However, the eagerness to see Case prevented Licia from thinking further.

Maybe it's just because today is a rest day.

Licia thought so, and then walked into Frindona's bookstore with a step that was about to jump up.

She saw a burly man with his back facing her, and Licia didn't even look at the favorability, so she was quite sure that it was Case.

"Slow down." Case caught Licia who was rushing towards him. "Don't cry, Lycia."

Case had completely changed. He was much stronger, his skin was very rough, and he had grown a beard.

Wearing a thick bearskin coat on a hot day.

If it weren't for Licia, no one would have recognized Case's current appearance.

"Brother, why are you so fat?" Licia felt that her face was sticky and hot as she leaned against Case and cried, so she separated a little.

"I eat seafood at the beach every day, can I not get fat?" Fulin Dona stuffed the dwarves who were poking their brains back with their hands.

Case took out two conch shells from his pocket, and handed one of them to Licia. "We made a conch magic circle that can transmit sound over a long distance, so Licia, we can often use conch to talk in the future."

Licia took it, looked it over and over again, but didn't see the location of the engraving circle. "Is the magic circle engraved inside?"

Case pulled the other one back into his arms. "Yes." But Licia saw that he was obviously disappointed.

"It's made from Mother's heraldry stone, and we made ten pairs," Case whispered.

Flindoner threw the ledger on the table. "Yeah, Case got two pairs, you sign it yourself and put it on the bill."

"Licia, you have suffered a lot during this time." Case used his blood-scabby hands to help Licia tuck the broken hair behind her ears, for fear of scratching Licia's skin, Case's The movement is very light.

Licia curled her mouth, and immediately cried again.

As if to cry out the tears I didn't cry before, the tears when I lost my mother, the tears of being murdered, the tears of being despised, and even the tears when I accidentally burned the back of my hand while making potions yesterday .

"My poor Lycia, she's crying out the water from her eyes." Case turned his head and said to Frindonna, his tone was still relaxed in the first half, but the last few words were already clear. Hear out crying.

But Case held back, he couldn't cry with his sister, Licia was tired enough, and she shouldn't have to bear his negativity.

"Okay, Case, you have three ten minutes." Flindoner grabbed a dwarf, pushed her forward, and kicked her. "Get ready."

Lycia froze, wiping away her tears with a sob. "Three ten minutes? Why?"

Case stroked Lycia's hair. "Yes, I'm going to do something right now, and then I'm going to run away quickly."

Licia asked quietly. "Is it stealing?"

Case smiled silently, then nodded again after a while. "Let's talk for a while."

"What? What did you say in half an hour?" Licia sat on a stack of books, looked at Case, and pouted.

"Tell me about now, tell me about you. I heard that you are very suitable to be a successor." Case patted Licia's shoulder with praise. "I'm sorry, as a brother, but not..."

Licia interrupted Case. "Don't say those words, you have chosen what you think is more important, there is no who should do what, or what mission."

Licia didn't blame Case, maybe she blamed Case a little at first, after all, it was after he escaped that the family became a mess.

But it's not Case's fault, it's the church's fault, and even if Case is captured without a fight, the church will still hunt her down and bring down the Campbell family.

Licia originally thought that she could talk to her brother Case day and night, and after only staying for 10 minutes, she kept thinking that it would be better to talk about something more important.

So she wasted a few minutes thinking.

"By the way, gold coins, 130 gold coins." Licia put the heavy bag in Case's hands.

"Don't give it to Mr. Flindoner, it's for your own use."

Case nodded, then counted thirty of them and handed them to Flindonna. "I just pay for an extra pair of communication conch."

"It is estimated that the church thought that if you came out, our organization would become very rich, so it forced you to leave the Campbell family." Flindonna laughed, and then happily took back the gold coins.

"Is there someone outside the door?" Licia suddenly heard unnatural footsteps going back and forth.

Felindona stopped laughing and took out a scroll from his arms.

"Someone." Flindoner picked up a cane from the corner of the counter. "Sure enough, it was discovered. There must be an insider in the organization."

"Although most people can't find the entrance, it will be different if there is an inner ghost." Fulin Dona kept looking outside the door.

"I can't find anything?" Licia asked Case, who was also nervous.

"If this study room is not approved by Mr. Flindoner or registered in the organization, other people will simply ignore it, and it is impossible to walk in directly." Case found a piece of cloth and handed it to Licia. "First cover your face completely, don't even show your eyes. If you are another member of the organization, you are not suitable to show your face."

Then, there was a knock on the door. "Mr. Flindonna, I'm Rui Jin, and I'm here to deliver my new collection of poems."

Case looked down and smiled. "It was a false alarm, it turned out to be someone from the Ruijin organization."

Felindorner put back his cane too.

He made a gesture of waving towards the door.

A person without a progress bar above his head, together with the mist, poured into the house.

'Yuga?Ruijin? 'Licia was afraid that she would be recognized, so she covered herself tightly with a cloth hood.

"Sir, this is the book for this month." Licia could hear Yuga's voice.

Flindonna took it and turned a few pages. "Very good, the quality is as high as before, and I will find a way to help you publish it."

"Sir." Yuga glanced sideways at the girl who was sitting there covering her head, and there was also a tall and thick man, he felt a little familiar, but now there were more important things, and he didn't think about it.

"Is there anything else?" Fulin Dona said impatiently. Although Ruijin's organization has a similar purpose to theirs, they seem to be ideal and arrogant young people.

Relying on the fact that he has some information that others do not know, he has the illusion that he is the savior, so he always plays tricks.

Case was putting his hand on the top of Licia's cloth-covered head and rubbing it gently, and Yuga glanced at them.

"It's like this, another Ruijin will come to see you next month." Yuga said, and he handed a picture to Fulindona.

"I see. Let him come over at that time, and then I will let him in." Fulin Dona nodded, folded the portrait once, and put it in the drawer.

"There is one more personal matter I would like to ask you. I heard that you will accept such business?" Yuga handed Fulindona three gold coins.

"This is a deposit. If you finish it for me, I will pay you five gold coins." Yuga spent half of his savings.

"What's the matter?" Fu Lindona turned his hands over and threw three gold coins on the table.

"I want to accept a heraldry test." Yuga said.

Flindoner swept the three gold coins into his pocket. "The next time the Black Pearl Fair is held, I'll take someone there, but you need to pay another ten gold coins, five is not enough."

Yuga frowned slightly, but still nodded.

After the book was published, he could get a little more gold coins.

"After all, in the Thorn Empire, it is a felony for civilians to test the power of the coat of arms without permission." Fulin Dona said, and then pointed to the door. "If there is nothing else, you can go."

"Okay." Yuga once again glanced at Licia who was sitting in the pile of books, and the man next to her.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his head, he remembered seeing this bookseller with Licia at the Black Pearl Fair once.

When he passed by Licia, he lowered his head and glanced at the delicate white back of her hand, and he was completely sure that this was Licia.

He was a little excited. If Felindorna got someone to test him and found that he had a coat of arms, it meant that Licia would also know that he and Licia were the same, and he was also a nobleman.

At the same time, Licia also remembered that Yuga had seen herself and Fulin Dona in the Black Pearl Circus.

'Could he have come in on purpose after he recognized me?'

After Yuga left completely, Licia lifted the cloth, crumpled it up and returned it to Case.

"I know the person who came just now." Licia decided to tell Fulin Dona.

Case asked a little warily. "Why do you know people from the Ruijin organization?"

"He's a student of Mandala Academy," Licia said.

"Student." Flindona obviously didn't know Yuga's true identity. "He came out of Black Pearl City, and he can still go to school."

"Black Pearl City?" Licia was surprised. She thought that Yuga just happened to work in Black Pearl City, but she didn't expect that he was also one of those saved by Black Pearl.

Gies and she introduced those people in Black Pearl City. They were all rescued by Black Pearl and had to work in Black Pearl City for ten years.

But ten years of working in Black Pearl City is equal to ten days outside. Although people will grow old, it is already a very cost-effective deal for life.

"But he is obviously the groom's son." Licia said.

"Anything is possible. After staying in Black Pearl City for ten years, there is still nothing that can't be done. The son of the groom may not necessarily be his own son." Fulin Dona made a few more notes on the bill.

"Why are you in a hurry to leave?" Licia looked at the time, only 10 minutes left.

Case pointed to the conch on his chest. "After we have conch, we can communicate casually, Licia, don't be sad."

"Nine minutes left." Flindorna looked up after finishing the account. "Case, let me tell you, you actually don't have to rush out of Lantcos City, it's very safe in my bookstore."

Just as Fulin Dona finished speaking, a burst of red light flashed.

Lycia felt that something was watching her, something dangerous beyond her control was watching her.

"What's going on? Flindona? Is someone spying here?" Case was also very alert.

It gradually became very noisy outside the door.

Felindona walked to the door and looked outside. A pair of huge blood-red eyes on the street were watching everyone.

In Lantcos City, in every nook and corner, in every heavily guarded palace and temple, a red eye appeared in every place.

Every inch of human skin felt peeped.

"It's on fire!"

When the blood-red eye closed, the flames suddenly lit up again, and countless buildings and houses in the entire Lantcos city were on fire.

Smoke and flames filled Lantcos City.

"Did you do it?" Licia felt the hairs on her body stand up instinctively.

The feeling of being watched finally slowly disappeared.

Case shook his head and murmured. "It's them, the people on the other side."

"They're coming."

In an instant, the fire rushed into the sky.

Everyone looked at the big characters that appeared in the sky, and wrote in characters they were familiar with.

"Hell is coming."

Case's face was flushed red by the flames.

"I'm going, Lycia," he said.

Afterwards, Case took off his fur coat and rushed into the flames in light clothing.

"At least, the good news is that it's unlikely that anyone would be interested in catching Case now." Trembling, Flindonal lit his pipe and took a deep breath.

"They, what are those people on the other side like? Are they among us?" Licia asked.

Flindoner turned his back and exhaled smoke, holding a pipe and looking at the mess outside the door.

"I don't know, we haven't seen them yet, only the traces they left." He glanced at his pocket watch. "Licia, take advantage of the chaos and go, otherwise you will be discovered when the security forces come later."

Licia saw that Felindona was looking for something in a panic, and the dwarves also gathered near the counter, looking at them with cloudy eyes.

"Okay." Licia stuffed the conch in her hand into her backpack, pulled out Selene, held it in her hand, and pushed open the door. As soon as she stepped out, Licia felt the heat wave And the red flames were going to set her hair and eyelashes on fire.

"Licia, you are indeed here, follow me." A pair of cold hands grabbed her wrist.

"Gith? How do you know I'm here?"
