Who came up with this kind of setting? It's really malicious.
Even Charlotte couldn't help but complain.
While watching Charlotte's live stream, Loran sneezed, and Serena looked at her with concern: "What's wrong? Are you sick?"
"No, I think it's little Charlotte who's secretly cursing me."
"You."
Serena tapped Loran's head: "You were full of bad ideas when you made this maze."
"I'm just letting Charlotte get used to the maze's malice sooner."
Ignoring Lorraine's explanation, Serena continued to look at Charlotte.
Although the transparent staircase didn't have any more fancy features after that, Charlotte still walked each step carefully.
Finally, Charlotte stepped down the stairs and onto the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief. She looked back, but the cave she had come from was nowhere to be found. Turning back, she saw a huge doorway before her.
"Teleport location has been updated."
Charlotte's bracelet suddenly made a sound, startling her. She then realized that the teleportation point was now this doorway.
Yes, that's thoughtful.
Poor Charlotte had no idea what this meant.
As Charlotte took a step forward, she suddenly heard a weathered voice, as if it had echoed from ancient times to the present day.
Our family has fallen on hard times.
Do you still remember our old, stately mansion?
It was so rich and dignified.
It stood proudly and motionless, towering majestically across the wilderness.
The words sounded like a narration, yet also like a plea.
Do you still remember our old, stately mansion?
[Wealthy and dignified.]
It is actually a festering, hideous thing!
The words paused abruptly, then the tone became frantic:
O traveler from afar, what are you yearning for?
Gold, treasure, or power?
Deep within the mansion, it will give you everything!
The voice then became pleading:
Traveler, escape, or kill it!
Only in this way can the ancient souls of the dead be released...
In the very end, the words vanished in the wind.
Charlotte frowned. This didn't sound like a simple maze. It was described as abhorrent and ancient, something that didn't seem like something a mere first-tier mage like herself could handle.
But since Loran chose to let me do it, perhaps I really can solve it?
Trusting Lorraine, Charlotte took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pushed open the manor gate.
Didn't push away.
Just as Charlotte was feeling confused, the mysterious voice sounded again:
The words etched in my mind came to mind: The door cannot be opened from this side.
"......ha?"
Chapter 40 Miss Charlotte Suffers (Part Two)
什么意思每^日.发!书,群【6`5,0/5^0”2*3>3.8】?什么叫“大门无法从这一侧打开”?
what?
How am I supposed to conquer the maze if I can't even open the doors? Fly over?
But I can't fly either.
Miss Charlotte fell silent. But upon reflection, she realized that Lorraine would certainly not allow her to explore a maze beyond her capabilities, so Charlotte guessed that there must be other paths leading in.
Charlotte searched around and finally found a path leading underground behind a rock.
"It looks so dangerous."
Looking at the dark road, Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then finally took out the shield that Loran had given her and silently raised it.
Sure enough, just as she finished walking down the stairs, she heard a faint sound coming from a dark place in the distance where even light couldn't penetrate.
Charlotte narrowed her eyes and silently raised her shield.
With a "click," the arrow shot towards Charlotte. Fortunately, she had anticipated it, otherwise, being hit would have been quite painful.
However, the crossbow fire did not stop, and this stalemate could not continue. Charlotte saw the green bar above her head descending; that was her stamina, as Loran had mentioned. Once her stamina was depleted, she would need to rest.
Charlotte made up her mind and advanced forward with her shield raised, but to her surprise, she did not see any ambushing monsters.
It's strange, compared to the malice on the stairs before, this is too mild, isn't it?
"puff......"
"what happened?"
Serena was puzzled when she saw Loran suddenly laughing.
"I can't help but laugh just thinking about what's going to happen next."
"You."
Serena knew immediately what mischief Loran was up to: "I really don't know where all this bad intentions come from."
By this time, Charlotte had advanced several dozen meters. Through the dim light, Charlotte could barely make out that the one holding the crossbow was a small gargoyle standing in a small room.
Charlotte took a deep breath and rushed forward. To conserve her magic, she didn't use any spells but instead drew her sword, Watcher.
With a single, swift, and precise strike, his swordsmanship was remarkably beautiful.
Visibly, the gargoyle's health bar had shrunk by half. Just as Charlotte was about to deliver the final blow, she suddenly heard a soft rustling sound behind her. She instinctively tried to turn around, but it was too late. In her last second of consciousness, she saw two gargoyles wielding axes.
"Hahahahahaha!"
In the bedroom, Loran burst into laughter. Serena playfully slapped him, saying, "Why did you design such an annoying road? You really have the heart to let little Charlotte suffer like this."
"If you don't suffer now, what will you do when you get to the real labyrinth later?"
Lorraine argued vehemently, but Serena rolled her eyes at him: "Then we won't go. It's not like we can't afford to support Charlotte."
"Sister, you're spoiling the child a bit too much."
"Have it?"
"some!"
Let's ignore those idiots and keep watching Charlotte's side.
At this moment, Miss Charlotte stood in front of the door that "cannot be opened from this side," looking utterly bewildered.
Who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do?
Okay, it was just an ambush, Charlotte, don't be angry, it's nothing, yes, don't be angry.
After finally calming herself down, Charlotte set off again. This time, instead of rushing in, she chose to stand a few meters away outside the door and begin to gather her magic.
Elementary magic, Light Magic Blade.
With a few spells, Charlotte cleared the gargoyle wielding the crossbow. She took a deep breath, rushed into the room, and quickly turned around. Sure enough, two gargoyles hidden in the wall jumped down, brandishing their weapons and attacking again. But how could Charlotte, now on guard, be harmed by these creatures? She easily dispatched them with a few sword strikes.
With her revenge fulfilled, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the road behind her.
Although the road was still pitch black, Charlotte dared not act rashly this time. Holding her shield, she carefully made her way to the end of the road.
"Click-clack..."
Charlotte vaguely heard strange noises. She frowned and discovered a pile of bones gathering in a corner. The bones were being drawn together by magic and were turning into skeleton soldiers.
The skeleton soldier raised his hand, picked up his own head, pressed it against his neck, twisted it, and then picked up his sword and shield.
Quite cute.
Charlotte remarked as she effortlessly emptied the skeleton soldier's health bar with her sword. However, just as she was about to continue forward, she suddenly noticed bursts of white light emanating from the skeleton soldier, and a moment later, the skeleton soldier stood up again.
Undead...
Charlotte frowned, slashed the skeleton soldier down again, and then stabbed the corpse a few more times. The pile of bones finally stopped glowing white.
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, but fearing a swarm of skeletons might attack her later, she quietly took out the holy water.
As for why she didn't use her own magic to enchant, it was because Charlotte wanted to conserve her magic.
With the holy water prepared, Charlotte stepped forward, and a huge open space appeared in front of her.
Charlotte's intuition told her that something strange might be going on here, so she cautiously shuffled forward. Suddenly, she heard a rumbling sound overhead. Looking up, she saw a huge stone slab covered in spikes falling rapidly.
Charlotte was silent for a moment, then smiled with relief.
She is dead.
Charlotte
At the re-teleportation entrance, Charlotte silently crouched down, hugged her knees, and buried her head between her legs, looking as if she had been hit hard.
Yeah, I thought I was pretty smart, but when I was exploring a beginner's maze, I died three times after only a few steps. Anyone would be depressed in that situation.
Seeing Charlotte's behavior while watching the live stream, Loran also felt a little uneasy: "Did I go too far?"
“Yes, a little.”
"...Maybe I should lower the difficulty a bit."
Loran muttered to himself, realizing he'd gone a bit too far with his quirky sense of humor. However, Serena shook her head and chuckled, "We should have more faith in our little Charlotte."
In the video, Charlotte remained silent for a long time before finally standing up, a determined look appearing in her bright blue eyes.
She gripped the sword tightly once more.
Chapter 41 Miss Charlotte Suffers (Part 3)
Having learned from her previous experience, Charlotte easily reached the spot where she had died. This time, Charlotte didn't sprint; instead, she carefully observed the situation ahead.
The area ahead remained calm, but when Charlotte tentatively stretched out one foot, she heard a strange sound.
As Charlotte pulled her foot back, the spiked ceiling suddenly collapsed.
Charlotte gave a deadpan look: Just as I thought, you were waiting to ambush me, weren't you?
Ha, a Saint Seiya won't fail twice with the same move!
Charlotte, full of fighting spirit, frowned and carefully examined the environment inside.
There's a recessed corner on the left... Based on my speed, I should be able to get to that spot when the ceiling falls a second time.
Okay, the plan is complete, ready to be implemented.
three!
Charlotte took a deep breath, ready to sprint.
two!
The collapsed ceiling began to rise again due to the activation of a mechanism.
One!
Charlotte sprinted forward, five meters, three meters, one meter!
Just a second before the ceiling was about to collapse, Charlotte stepped into her hiding place.
The ceiling slammed to the ground with a deafening roar, and the shockwave forced Charlotte to shield her eyes, but a smile played on her lips.
A mere trap, nothing special!
Then you just wait for the ceiling to rise again, and then rush to the next hiding place.
