Shut up, brave man! I don't want to atone for my sins to you!

2. The exception itself

Rachel and Lao Deng finally started to discuss business.

"The anomaly that occurred in Lentiheim is not simple, no matter the cause or the result. In fact, even I, who almost experienced the entire process, dare not say that I have figured out all the truth."

"The Elves' Mistress is a ship-borne host from the depths of the starry sky, created by another civilization. Due to an accident, it made an emergency landing or crashed on the Pangaea. Today, three thousand years later, it was contaminated for unknown reasons and went crazy, which is why those abnormalities appeared in Lentiheim."

As Lacier spoke, her expression became more serious:

"But we still haven't found out what contaminated the Mistress, whether the contamination will spread, and whether the Mistress is the only one on this land, a creation from another civilization."

"The answers to these questions may depend on you to explore. After all, I am only a half-baked witch. Even if I continue to stay in Lentiheim, it will probably be difficult to find any useful clues. So in order not to hinder your investigation, Charles and I will leave first."

Having said this, Miss Witch's expression was no longer serious, and she began to feel guilty.

Of course Lao Deng knew what she was feeling guilty about.

Because her statement is totally untenable.

If the visiting delegation from the White Tower really wants to find out the whole truth, then the clues that can be provided by Rachel and Charles, the two eyewitnesses of the whole incident, may become a crucial piece of the puzzle.

So both of them should stay, both morally and logically.

Of course, what Lao Deng can think of, Lacie can also think of.

Then quickly, she added:

"Of course, if we do find anything, Charles and I can always return to Lentiheim to assist you in the investigation. If you have any questions, you can always contact me."

But no matter what, she didn't want to stay in Lentiheim.

She is not stupid.

When Lao Deng and Charles meet, she is the only one who will suffer.

Therefore, she will provide all assistance except substantive help to Lao Deng and Bai Ta's professional team.

As for other issues...

She was totally helpless!

Old Deng saw what Lacier was planning, and he couldn't help but sigh, then muttered softly:

"Really? Am I that scary? Those young people all think I'm pretty friendly..."

Lacey rolled her eyes.

She thought to herself, yes, yes, you are indeed amiable, you are so amiable - the reason why those young people think you are amiable is because they make rash judgments without understanding you, okay?

In fact, this old woman was very treacherous and Lacie had suffered many setbacks from her.

It was precisely because she had suffered losses that she was especially wary of Lao Deng.

However, Lao Deng did not feel at all that he was on guard.

She showed a sad expression as if she was heartbroken because she was not trusted, shook her head dejectedly, and sighed:

"I never thought that in the eyes of my most beloved students, as a teacher, I would be seen in this way. Oh, this is really sad."

Lacie just snorted and didn't comment.

If she really believed that old Deng was sad about such things, then she would have been kicked in the head by Charles.

Therefore, without being moved by Lao Deng's poor acting skills, the witch said:

"Whether it's the unexplained pollution or the artifacts of other civilizations that fell on Pangaea, it may have a significant impact on our future. So this matter is very important. Very important."

Her expression became more serious than ever:

"So, if you or the White Tower's intelligence department notices any anomalies on the Pangaea, please pay attention to them, because those anomalies may be closely related to the anomalies in Lentiheim."

Lao Deng nodded slightly when he heard this.

She stopped teasing Laciel because she understood that if what Laciel said was true, then the entire Pan-Continent would probably soon be in chaos - although the current Pan-Continent could not be called peaceful by any means, but in comparison, she would rather the Pan-Continent continue to maintain the current chaos than to let it become a battlefield for evil gods and alien civilizations to engage in a massive fight.

Thinking of this, Lao Deng suddenly remembered something.

So after a brief hesitation, she said:

"However, speaking of anomalies, there is indeed an anomaly not far from you..."

"Hmm?" Rachel frowned. "Near us? Not far from Lentiheim?"

After she finished speaking, her expression became a little embarrassed and her voice became lower:

"But... well, the two of us are actually not in Lentiheim anymore."

What Rachel didn't expect was that Old Deng wasn't surprised at all when she heard this. She even showed a confident expression, as if to say "as expected", and continued:

"After hearing the news of my coming, you certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to stay in Lentiheim. So where are you now? In the Sea of ​​Forests or near Victoria?"

She sighed again, pretending to be worried, but a smile was hidden between her drooping eyebrows:

"Sure enough, after having a man outside, he began to dislike an old woman like me... But, who knows if the hero in the rumors is really a good man? What if he is just coveting your beauty?"

Then she was satisfied to see a hint of displeasure flash across the girl's face in the mirror.

The hero was slandered, so the witch should be angry, even though she was the one who slandered the hero.

Lao Deng thought that he could use this to figure out the extent to which Lacie had fallen, but what she didn't expect was that Lacie didn't behave as she expected, with an attitude of protecting her master of "He is my husband and I don't allow you to say anything about him!"

On the contrary, she actually muttered in a complicated tone:

"I wish he was just coveting my beauty..."

It is easier to deal with evil-minded people. Although Laceel cannot deal with Charles who has forbidden magic alone, she can mobilize others. As long as she mobilizes Lao Deng, she can make Charles disappear from this world without any effort.

But the problem was that Charles had no desire for her beauty at all.

To exaggerate a little, in Charles' eyes, the pastor lady might be a thousand times, ten thousand times cuter than her.

So to Charles, she was probably just a tool - a tool to resurrect the priest lady.

Charles really loves the priest so much that even the witch is a little jealous.

Of course, Lacele would not say such words directly. She did not intend to let Lao Deng know the complicated relationship between her and Charles.

But even so, Lao Deng was still deeply confused.

What does "I actually wish he was just coveting my beauty" mean?

Lao Deng understands that this sentence can be interpreted in two ways:

The first one is that the hero wants not only Rachel’s beauty, but also her heart.

The second type is that Laciel actually hated him for not fighting for it. She wished that the hero would conquer her whole body and mind as soon as possible.

But no matter which of the two solutions was used, she felt incredible and confused.

What kind of drug did the hero give Lacie? Or did he use some forbidden hypnotic spell? Otherwise, why would Lacie be so eager to stick to him?

Lao Deng didn't understand, but she was shocked.

So she couldn't help but clear her throat gently, and then sternly warned:

"Ahem... Although I support the relationship between you and the hero, but... how should I put it, you'd better be careful. Although it is not easy for witches to get pregnant due to their physical conditions, but..."

The more Lacie listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Until Lao Deng said the last sentence, she finally reacted like a cat with its tail grabbed.

Then, she gritted her teeth and retorted:

"What the hell! The relationship between Ciel and me... between him and me is not what you think. There is nothing wrong between us!"

Her voice is loud.

It’s a pity that the louder the voice, the more trustworthy the person’s words are.

Obviously, Lao Deng did not believe Lacie, he just showed a strange smile.

That smile seemed to tell Lacie that she had spent ten minutes thoroughly understanding the whole story.

Although in fact, she had no idea about the details of the complicated relationship between Rachel and Charles.

People always tend to believe what they want to believe.

Seeing Lao Deng's expression, Laci realized that it was unlikely that she could convince Lao Deng no matter what, so she had no choice but to obey Lao Deng.

Anyway, justice is in the hearts of the people!

Right?

After deciding to obey Lao Deng, Lacier didn't intend to waste any more time on this topic.

So she said:

"In any case, you should be careful when you go to Lentiheim to investigate. Although the mistress has been killed by Charles and I, and the pollution originally carried by her body has disappeared, but... after all, no one knows where the pollution came from, and it is always right to be careful."

Lao Deng finally decided to stop teasing Lacie.

In response to Laciel's concern, she nodded gently to indicate that she understood.

But secretly, she was laughing.

She had previously offered to visit Lentiheim because the governor of Lentiheim had told her that Rachel and the hero were there, but now they had both left Lentiheim...

The old man suddenly hesitated.

Should I go to Lentiheim as originally planned and personally check out the remains of the elven mistress?

Her scholar's instinct drove her to Lentiheim, but in fact, she had long since withdrawn from the front line of research. Even if she went there, she probably wouldn't discover more than those young scholars.

She pondered and considered, tapping her slightly aged fingers on the table.

At this moment, Lacier's voice came through the mirror:

"By the way, where exactly is the anomaly you mentioned? What is it?"

The old woman's thoughts were interrupted, but she did not feel dissatisfied at all.

She simply raised her head again, looked at Lacier in the mirror, thought for a moment, and then answered softly:

"In Diesel, a little-known country. As for what it is, I don't think it is..."

Lao Deng suddenly sighed and continued in a rather strange tone:

"The anomaly I'm talking about is the small country of Diesel itself."

3. Why?

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump…

A familiar melody suddenly sounded in Lacie's mind.

At the same time, there is also a chubby dead rat that can introduce itself to the audience in various ways.

Her expression quickly became complicated, and she even felt a little amused.

A weird little country, huh?

I just don't know what's so special about this small country called Diesel. Is it a hunk from heaven? Or is it a leader who doesn't look like a monarch? Or is it being served by the big countries around it?

But in this world, the abnormality that Lao Deng mentioned was probably not the abnormality that Lacier knew.
