And, also.
"It seems... Miss Luo Ling no longer needs me to hold her?"
Miss Luo Ling already has a luxurious carriage suitable for a noble lady, so she no longer needs little Elsa to carry her around.
Elsa leaned against the corner of the carriage, drawing small circles sadly.
"We haven't seen each other for a while. How did you come up with this method?" Luo Ling curled his lips, "You wouldn't go to this extent."
"Oh, you figured it out." Odetta stuck out her tongue mischievously. "The ability you taught me last time was really useful! I used it to save my father's life!"
"Um?"
Luo Ling was a little surprised and looked at Uncle Joseph at the front of the car.
"That's true, young lady." Uncle Joseph said with a wry smile, "If it weren't so, the master wouldn't allow young lady to act so recklessly."
Well, as the title says, Cat wants to offer a small reward.
With the support of readers, the situation of this book has improved a lot compared to when it was put on the shelves, although it is still about a thousand points lower than the worst performance before... But, Mao's updates are more frequent than before, which can be regarded as barely covering expenses.
However, it would be a lie to say that I am not sad. I wrote this book "Cat" with great care, but the performance has not improved. Maybe it has been eliminated by the market (sigh).
No matter what, I will definitely continue writing. There is no unfinished book of mys. I have not cut a book in the three years since I started writing, because I always feel that every story I write is a complete world. No matter whether it is good or bad, at least it has a beginning and an end, which can give the readers an explanation.
But...
The determination is there, but the motivation is lacking.
In the past, Mao only wrote 120,000 words a month. This time, because of the poor performance, I wanted to improve the performance by updating more, so it is 150,000 words per month. But the current situation has dealt a great blow to Mao, and he must be a little discouraged.
In order to give the cat some motivation, I will offer a small reward. Readers who can afford it can support me. If not, it would be great to vote for free and give me some free tickets and razor blades. The cat will make a few loud noises for the readers, bang bang bang.
The monthly base is 120,000, and additional updates will be made on this basis.
50 blades, 5000 rewards, 200 monthly tickets, 2000 recommendation tickets, 1000 words, no upper limit, try to pay off the reward within one month, if there are more additions, Maohui will pay back 10,000 more per day.
Chapter 38: Ruthless Miss Luo Ling (5k)
"... I see."
After listening to Uncle Joseph's brief narration, Luo Ling was quite surprised. It seemed that a lot had happened in Odetta's family in the past few years.
Although Uncle Joseph used the term "family change" to refer to this incident, in fact, considering Odetta's current status... it should probably be called a coup.
In short, Odetta’s current identity is not just the daughter of the Grand Duke, she should be called the "Princess of the Crown".
Perhaps it was during these years that the state of division in the Germanic region was curbed and it finally became a unified kingdom... Compared to the history that Luo Ling had learned, the timeline was a bit inconsistent.
However, in today's world, the timeline is extremely chaotic. Multiple collapses and returns have caused many events to occur much earlier.
No wonder Frick was so panicked at the time. He should have known the outcome of this period of history, and he should have known what terrible consequences would have occurred if Odetta had died in the hatchery at that time.
After all, this is the Victoria region, not the Germanic region. The death of a most direct royal aristocrat in a foreign country... can easily lead to a series of accidents.
Although Frick must be killed as an enemy, all his actions at that time, such as sending little Odetta away in advance, were indeed maintaining the order of the human world.
Luo Ling was not very interested in these things, but this was enough to illustrate... Odetta's status was so noble that even Eve, the eldest lady, was far inferior to her.
As for saving people, Odetta used her ability at a very clever time, as it happened that her father encountered the assassin when he was visiting Victoria.
At that time, Odetta used her ability to sense that something was wrong - this was the original intention of Luo Ling giving her the three strands of hair, to give Odetta several chances to save her life, and with the help of the spores, she found the assassin who was hiding in the crowd with three loaded pistols and was about to attack.
In fact, even if the assassin had not been discovered, the new emperor would not necessarily have died, as the royal security measures were quite complete. But in this case... Odetta could indeed have saved her father's life.
Therefore, Odetta's willfulness was satisfied to the greatest extent. Even after knowing that Luo Ling was back from a business trip, she was able to plan to rent out the carriages of all the carriage shops in Victoria for three days, just to let Luo Ling ride in her carriage again.
The assassin seemed to be related to a political enemy, but Uncle Joseph was vague about the details. Luo Ling tactfully did not continue the conversation. It was enough to know the general idea, and there was no need to understand it in detail.
"Miss Fortune Teller, you've gotten on my carriage again this time. Can you teach me some more skills?" Odetta supported her chin with both hands. The emerald green figure reminded Luo Ling of the blindfolded little girl who was tied to her in the hatchery.
Hiss, when I think about it this way, it does feel like a special play...
"Ms. Luo Ling, can you... also teach ordinary people abilities?"
After hearing this, Cen Xiangyun could no longer sit still.
Although ordinary people in this era can recognize some things about the awakened and strange things because of too many "boundary collapses", it is better to have less contact with them, otherwise it is easy to fall into endless madness.
No matter what method Miss Luo Ling uses to enable ordinary people to use their abilities, the risk of causing mental disorders exists.
"Don't worry, I have a plan in mind. These are just some tricks."
Luo Ling certainly knew this, so the abilities she left for Odetta... were all quite ordinary. Even the effects of magic were more amazing than this, and they did not exceed the cognition of ordinary people.
She turned to look at Odetta, who looked expectant, and said,
"You heard it too. It is forbidden to teach you abilities. Last time was just an exception for me. It won't happen again. Also, don't do such willful things again. Aren't the lessons you learned before enough?"
Running away from home and encountering a strange accident at the hatchery was really bad luck. If it weren't for Luo Ling and Lina, Odetta would probably be buried in the "Realm of Nothingness" now, and no one would know about it.
"before?"
Elsa on the side immediately pricked up her ears.
"oh... "
After hearing Luo Ling's words, the light in Odetta's eyes dimmed instantly, and her mood became much lower.
Uncle Joseph, who was glancing over here from time to time, was slightly relieved when he saw this scene. He really didn't want the princess to continue to have contact with these mystics from the bottom of his heart. It was too dangerous.
Looking at the somewhat distraught Odetta, Luo Ling couldn't help but recall the time when she met little Odetta in the hatchery. To her, it was just what happened the day before yesterday.
As he thought about it, Luo Ling couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair.
"Huh?"
Odetta was startled. Why did the fortune teller's action feel... a little familiar
"Um?"
Elsa's eyes widened instantly. She... Have they become so intimate? What on earth did this abominable guy have to go through with Miss Luo Ling
I really want to know...
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Odetta."
Luo Ling retracted her hand awkwardly. She suddenly realized that she and Odetta were not yet that close. "I'm a little too used to this action."
Whether it was touching Elsa or touching little Odetta before, there was a feeling that a habit had become natural.
"It's okay, I don't mind." Odetta touched the top of her head, her expression even more strange, "Ms. Fortune Teller, have we met before?"
When the lady being fortune-teller rubbed her hair, she always had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, but when she reached out to touch it herself, she did not have that feeling.
"Maybe...right?" Luo Ling thought for a moment and said, "Did you encounter a life-threatening situation a few years ago?"
The time has come to determine the extent to which "rewriting reality" can be achieved. Odetta has only seen herself in the form of the White Witch, and Luo Ling is not worried that the situation at the time will be exposed to her teammates.
Elsa could probably guess, but it didn't matter.
"How do you know?" Odetta blurted out, then covered her mouth and said, "Is it... Is it a special power?"
"... I guess so." Luo Ling coughed a few times and said, "After all, I am a 'fortune teller'."
“Wow, that’s amazing!”
Odetta was so happy that she almost jumped up. She was very excited about anything that involved special powers. Uncle Joseph, the coachman next to her, saw his princess doing such an unladylike behavior again, and he felt so headache that he just wanted to hold his forehead.
Uncle Joseph is of course more than just a coachman. He is also a bodyguard and butler who is ordered to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess. In addition, there are many guards secretly escorting her nearby.
The danger a few years ago was so frightening that even though the princess finally returned safely, His Majesty the Emperor still felt a lingering fear. It was precisely because of this situation that the guards protecting Odetta now were all active military personnel.
"And what else, Miss Fortune Teller, how much more can you calculate... and how much more can you know with your special powers?"
Odetta asked expectantly, her delicate body pressed tightly against Luo Ling, her exquisite face moving closer to Luo Ling with a look of surprise, her curious eyes forcing Luo Ling to dodge a little.
Over the past few years, Odetta seems to have become more cheerful.
However, considering that little Odetta had run away from home when we met her in the hatchery, we can only say that the reason why little Odetta was so well-behaved and obedient at that time was because she was scared.
Under the gazes of the other people in the carriage, "Miss Luo Ling, when did you learn this ability?", Luo Ling cleared her throat and said mysteriously,
"I also know that you were rescued by a little girl."
"Wow, you even know this, but I've never told anyone else." Odetta could no longer hide her shock. She was dumbfounded. "What else? I want to know more. I... I can pay for it!"
This time the anticipation was more intense, but also a little bit nervous.
Luo Ling could probably guess why.
It seems that the ability of "Naraku" is indeed terrifying enough. Luo Ling successfully influenced the direction of the hatchery incident through the "rewriting of the present world" constructed by the "falling net".
If she hadn't appeared at that time, it should have been Lina who saved little Odetta. You know... Miss Lina is not a little girl.
"You don't have to pay, Miss Odetta. Please tell me more details. Maybe I can... use my special abilities to know more." Luo Ling said.
She also needed to determine whether Odetta's experiences were consistent with her own.
"Ah, this..."
Hearing this, Odetta instantly wilted.
She said with a distressed look, "I... I can't quite remember what happened at that time, I just know that a little sister with white hair, who was about my age, saved me..."
Odetta glanced at Luo Ling and continued, "Besides, she, like you, is also a 'fortune teller' wearing that necklace."
Perhaps because of a "boundary collapse", Odetta lost most of her memories of the hatchery incident, leaving only a few memories that are almost engraved deep in her heart.
At the moment of extreme despair, the silver-haired girl descended like an angel and saved her from the siege of monsters. Even until the end of her life, Odetta would never forget this scene.
"The little girl with white hair..."
After hearing this description, the people in the carriage were shocked.
When people mentioned the little girl with white hair, only a scary figure came to their mind.
—The 49th in the strange sequence, the "White Witch" of "Silence".
Little sister, this is not a good thing to be rescued.
Cen Xiangyun wanted to take Odetta to the "company" for a physical examination to see if there was any mycelium growing anywhere, until she remembered that this happened a few years ago, and then she put her mind at ease.
A few years ago, the "White Witch" had not yet appeared, and the "Puppet Rumor" had not yet awakened.
...It must be just a coincidence.
There is no way around it. The record of "White Witch" and "Puppet Song" in massacring 400,000 civilians in Jiangcheng County is simply too horrifying and is considered to be extremely dangerous and weird with a very high level of brutality towards humans.
And it was at this moment that Elsa was completely certain of the truth.
It must be Miss Luo Ling!
Unexpectedly, Miss Luo Ling had come to Victoria several years ago, and had saved this young lady several years ago, and had an unforgettable experience with her...
Obviously I was supposed to be the first one to come... But now it seems I am the last one to come...
Thinking of this, Elsa felt a little aggrieved.
But on second thought, that wasn't right. No matter what, Odetta didn't recognize the current Miss Luo Ling, nor did she think that she was her savior a few years ago.
If that's the case...
I am still Miss Luo Ling's unique apostle!
With this thought in mind, Elsa straightened her waist slightly and looked down at Odetta with a condescending, inexplicably queen-like gaze.
"You only remember a little bit..." Luo Ling pondered for a moment.
Whether it was because of the "boundary collapse" of the entire Victoria or the "boundary annihilation" of the hatchery at that time, it was understandable, but Luo Ling could probably be sure that what she experienced was real history.
However, Luo Ling has not yet determined whether she changed after she went there, or she was already in a changed state before and her behavior simply achieved the corresponding effect.
However, considering that the "Realm of Nothingness" has existed before, it should be the latter.
"Cause and effect, how troublesome"
Luo Ling suddenly understood what those riddle-makers on the "other shore" path were thinking. Sometimes fate is indeed hard to predict.
If Luo Ling had known about this in advance, the result might have been different.
