27 Sculpting master

"Um…"

"Oy! Can you show a little emotion? What the hell is that indifferent face and voice?" the cauldron said in an annoyed tone.

"Look at how she looks now; do you think what you said would make me interested in her?"

Hearing Lathel's words, the cauldron just sighed: "It's up to you. I hope you won't regret it then."

"At that time…."

"Okay, let's pretend I didn't say anything." After the cauldron finished speaking, it fell silent, and Lathel was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Everywhere was silent as Lathel watched Charlotte slowly enjoy the candy.

However, five minutes later, Lathel felt extremely bored.

"Charlotte, do you know anything about the Karol Empire?" He spoke up. After all, the knowledge he had of this world was very little, even though Charlotte had lived in this place for quite a long time, however, at least he still had a way of getting some information about where he was going.

Hearing that, Charlotte raised her head to look at him, her face still filled with indifference, however, a moment later, she frowned as if trying to search through her memories.

"Karol is the largest empire on the Dorrack continent." Charlotte spoke softly, however, her eyes were focused on the candy dish.

"When I was wandering outside, maybe… about 200 years ago, the Karol Empire was facing countless enemies outside, it was like a wild animal taking its last breath. "

"At that time, a woman named Catheryne appeared. She was the youngest child of the Karol Empire emperor, however, she was not normal."

"Everyone called her the Fire Phoenix—Catheryne. Her hair was as red as fire, and she was as beautiful as a masterpiece created by the gods."

"The nickname Fire Phoenix came about because she was protected by the Phoenix God and she possessed talents superior to other members of the royal family."

"I heard it only took her 70 years to reach King level 10, then…"

Suddenly, Charlotte put a candy in her mouth, slowly enjoying its taste.

Lathel also waited patiently.

After Charlotte finished eating the candy, she continued: "When the Karol Empire was on the brink of destruction, Catheryne stood up and led the royal army and people to fight against the invaders."

"However, the royal family did not let her do that. Although Catheryne had strength and talent, she was still just a woman."

"The members of the royal family felt humiliated that they were being led by a woman, so civil war broke out."

"But…" Charlotte ate another piece of candy.

Lathel: "…"

'Can you tell me everything and then eat?'

However, Lathel did not voice his thoughts; rather, he quietly waited for Charlotte to finish eating.

After two minutes, Charlotte continued speaking: "But Catheryne at that moment seemed to have transformed into a fire, as she burnt all the members of the royal family."

"I still remember that day clearly. Blood stained many roads red, and corpses were piled up into a small mountain."

"The smell of blood was so strong that it could be smelt from a thousand meters away. At that time, I almost lost control because the smell of blood was so strong."

Lathel frowned and asked: "She..."

"That's right." Without waiting for Lathel to finish speaking, Charlotte nodded and said: "She killed all members of the royal family. Not only that, she also killed her father and those who supported the royal family."

"That day, the name Catheryne became known to everyone as a nightmare."

"The enemy took that opportunity to attack the Karol empire, however, they seem to have underestimated Catheryne's power."

"She led an army that she had been secretly training and overwhelmingly defeated all her enemies."

"The survivors were so scared that they gave her the nickname Red Apocalypse Queen."

"However… Later, when she led the Karol Empire, a new era seemed to have opened. In just 100 years, the Karol Empire became the largest empire on the Dorrack continent."

"Everyone enjoyed a peaceful life, that's why no one dares to question Catheryne's leadership ability."

"After that… I don't know. After all, I have imprisoned myself in this place for 100 years. However, I think the Karol empire still exists, it is even developing very well."

"However…" Charlotte suddenly glanced at him. Although there was no emotion in her eyes, Lathel still felt the threat from those eyes.

"You should be careful because there are a lot of rumors surrounding Catheryne."

Lathel: "…"

"Um… why do I need to be careful with her?" Lathel asked in confusion: "Anyway... how can an ordinary person like me contact the queen of the Karol empire?"

Hearing that, Charlotte nodded: "That's right, after all, you're just a useless person."

Lathel: "…"

'That useless person you're talking about just gave you a delicious meal.'

He really wanted to take back the candy on the plate and stop her from eating it.

Charlotte also seemed to know what he was thinking as she immediately put all the candy into the storage space.

The candies in front of Lathel immediately disappeared. He frowned and looked at Charlotte with eyes full of contempt: "Do you think I'm that bad of a person?"

Charlotte didn't say anything, she just glanced at Lathel, then looked outside, not paying attention to him anymore.

Lathel also shook his head. He then returned to the old room and laid on the bed. Anyway, Charlotte would probably sit still until the morning, but he was different, as he needed to sleep.

Apart from the bed being old, the blanket and mattress were also so old that if he just pulled them hard, they would immediately tear.

However, he didn't care, he was just thinking about what Charlotte said about the Karol Empire.

After that... he gradually fell asleep without even realizing it.

At night... While he was sleeping soundly, he felt someone holding his hand.

Lathel slowly opened his eyes, and looked to his right. There was Charlotte, who was also lying in bed with him.

However, different from last night, this time, Charlotte didn't just hold his hand, she hugged his arm.

Lathel also had no intention of retracting his arm because he saw a bit of calmness appear on Charlotte's always-indifferent face.

He sighed and continued to fall asleep.

…

It was nighttime in the forest, but things were chaotic. This is because the forest was being disturbed by Lizaru's group.

He stood still and looked around, his eyes clearly showing impatience. "Is there still no trace of that mouse?"

"Not yet…" Swordary sighed and said: "We have turned this whole forest upside down but still haven't found even a single hidden foot."

"Damn it!" Lizaru was angry, he took the staff and slammed it on the ground, a gust of wind blew around, causing dust and leaves to fly everywhere.

"It's just a mouse… and you can't find it." Lizaru shouted angrily.

"Lizaru…" At this moment, Haya, who was standing next to him, said: "That person used very strange disguise magic. That type of magic doesn't leave any traces behind, even the unique human scent is covered up."

"Even if we use location magic, we cannot find any trace of that person."

Haya said as she looked at the glass ball in her hand. There was only black in the ball, without any other image.

Lizaru frowned. He glanced at the others in the group, then raised his voice, his voice filled with murderous intent and anger: "Kill..."

"Kill this entire forest, turn this forest upside down… I want to find that rat, understand."

Hearing that, Haya was a bit surprised: "Lizaru, are you planning to..."

"That's right. If I can't use location magic to find that mouse, then I will use the magic "Rise the Soul", and search every soul in the forest."

"Until we find the whereabouts of that rat… I will not stop."

The people around him shivered when they heard that, their spines feeling a bit cold. This was the first time they saw Lizaru so angry and filled with such terrifying murderous intent.

They all remained silent and started to do what Lizaru did. Even though they didn't like Lizaru, that didn't mean they weren't afraid of him.

Lizaru watched the group leave, his eyes looking up at the sky: "Mouse, you better hide carefully, otherwise..."

…

"Achoo!!!" Lathel suddenly sneezed. He frowned and rubbed his nose with his finger: "Strange... It seems like someone is saying bad things about me."

"Could it be... Alec?" Lathel shook his head. He looked up at the ceiling, light had crept into the room through holes and windows.

In front of him was an electronic screen: [Ding! Congratulations on surviving to the fifth day, do you want to 'Sign in Today'?]

Lathel did not rush to 'sign in' but closed his eyes, silently thanking Dandite, the goddess of luck and the system.

He felt that he needed to be grateful every day for what he was receiving.

If there was no Dandite, no system, and no luck, his soul would probably have disappeared by now, and no one would remember his existence anymore.

A moment later, Lathel smiled and silently commanded: "Sign in!"
