Novel Bin Chapter 29 Have You Found That Stone Yet?
"A typical cake from my hometown." Lathel laughed and explained: "Try it, you won't feel disappointed."
Charlotte tilted her head to look at Lathel, there was a bit of excitement in her eyes, but her face remained void of any emotions.
Lathel sighed, then sat in the chair across from her. He took out a cylindrical wooden box from the storage space. The box was about 10cm high and 20cm in diameter. On the side of the box was a small crank.
He placed the small box on the table and smiled. "This is my gift for you." Seeing that you always stare into space, you probably feel very bored, right?"
"This little box probably won't make you too happy, however, it can at least help you feel less bored."
When Charlotte heard that, she looked at the wooden box, then at Lathel.
Lathel spoke up and instructed her on how to use it: "You just need to turn that little lever."
Charlotte bowed her head. Her wrinkled hand slowly approached the box, grabbed the crank, then gently moved it.
As soon as she started moving it, Lathel said: "Keep turning it, don't stop."
Charlotte raised her head to look at Lathel, then lowered her head and continued moving the crank.
Just three seconds later, the top of the box suddenly opened automatically, and a wooden statue slowly appeared.
The statue was about 7cm high, and it was sculpted extremely delicately. It was a girl with long hair, wearing an extremely luxurious dress.
However, the girl sat on a chair and looked into the distance. The only special thing was that the wooden statue had no face.
That's right, the face was still vacant.
Charlotte saw that wooden statue and immediately realized who it was modeled after.
She stopped what she was doing and raised her head to look at Lathel. From those eyes that were as dim as newly dug well water, a light filled with hope and surprise flashed.
Lathel nodded, signaling her to continue.
Charlotte then bowed her head and continued moving the crank. Soon after, more magic continued.
From inside the box, a beam of light appeared, and that light transformed into the scene surrounding the wooden statue.
There was a large window, outside the window was the sun, blue sky and white clouds.
Charlotte was startled, her eyes became brighter, and a smile suddenly graced her face.
This smile was from the bottom of her heart which had been covered in dust for hundreds of years,and it was unlike the smile she had due to the excitement of the full moon.
After that, the scenery around the wooden statue changed, from morning to night. Above the statue's head were three moons and countless sparkling stars that shone on the statue, making it even more beautiful and magical.
Suddenly, the wrinkles on Charlotte's face seemed to relax, her smile was as bright as the full moon, accompanied by two tears like two dazzling diamonds.
Charlotte stared at the box, her hand constantly moving the crank, the scenery constantly changing from day to night.
Of course, this was all Lathel could currently do with the rudimentary support tools in this place.
If he had more tools, perhaps.... the box would be even more sophisticated and wonderful.
But… for Charlotte, this was more than enough. She didn't seem to be bored, as she constantly moved the spinning rod while staring at the statue with glee in her eyes.
Lathel sat still and looked at her, however, he gradually lost patience. She had been playing for more than an hour. Even though he was the one who made that box, he still felt extremely bored.
"Charlotte, I think you should enjoy the cake, it's delicious."
He tried to divert Charlotte's attention. She heard his voice and raised her head to look at him, then looked towards the plate of cake.
Charlotte nodded and picked up a cake. She admired its beauty and said: "It's so beautiful, I can't bear to eat it."
"Hahaha… Don't worry, I can make much more beautiful things than that cake. If you eat it today, tomorrow I will make a more beautiful cake."
"Really?" Listening to Lathel's words, Charlotte felt a little happy.
"Of course, don't you trust me?"
Charlotte smiled: "I trust you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took a bite of the cake, chewing it in her mouth. The wonderful taste of the cake made Charlotte feel extremely happy and peaceful.
Lathel also smiled upon seeing that, then he looked out the window. In fact, the scenery outside the window was extremely magical, however, although it was extremely beautiful he wondered if he would still think so after looking at it a couple of times. At that time, would he still feel that the landscape was beautiful?
It was like traveling, in fact, traveling is like moving from a place that you find boring to another place where the residents also find boring.
Suddenly, Charlotte brought the half-bitten cake in front of him.
"Heh?!" Lathel felt puzzled: "You... want me to eat with you?"
Charlotte smiled, she nodded slightly. Lathel didn't want to make her unhappy, so he obeyed and took a small bite.
"Lathel… the pearl I gave you…" Charlotte spoke up.
Lathel immediately remembered the Blood Jade she had given him, and he immediately took it out.
Charlotte didn't say anything, she just gently placed a finger on the Blood Jade, then smiled and said: "This is your reward and wages."
Lathel frowned, he felt extremely strange. But when he felt the space inside the Blood Jade, he immediately saw that inside there were more than 5,000 gold coins, 100 Rank F Earth elemental stones and 20 two-color elemental stones of all kinds.
He was startled: "Wait! This…"
Charlotte tilted her head and said: "Too little? So…"
"No, what I mean is…"
Before Lathel could speak, Charlotte placed 5,000 gold coins and another 3-color elemental stone into the Blood Jade's space.
"Enough! Enough!" Lathel quickly shouted.
"Um… hopefully tomorrow… you can give me a better dish."
After she finished speaking, Charlotte put the piece of cake in her hand into her mouth, she then took the remaining cake and the box and placed it inside the storage space.
What happened next startled Lathel. She stood up, grabbed his hand, and pulled him to the bedroom.
"Heh?! Wait! What are you going to do?
Hearing Lathel's question, Charlotte turned her head to look at him with puzzled eyes: "Go to bed, aren't you tired?"
"Ah! It's to sleep..." Lathel breathed a sigh of relief, he felt like he had been thinking a lot.
'Wait! Why do I feel shy around a 70 year old woman? AAAA!!! I'm crazy, really crazy!'Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m
Lathel screamed internally, however, he still allowed Charlotte drag him away.
In fact, Charlotte was so strong, he didn't have any ability to resist at all.
Lathel was dragged into the bedroom and placed on the bed, then Charlotte also lay on the bed.
At this moment, she did not hug his arm rather she hugged him in her arms the way a mother would hug her son.
Lathel blushed. Even though he was over 50 years old in his previous life, he had never been hugged by a woman like this.
Charlotte looked to be over 70 years old, and when she hugged him like that, it made him feel like he was feeling a mother's love.
After all, he was an orphan in his previous life, and his mother's love was a luxury for him.
Lathel lay in Charlotte's chest, slowly closed her eyes, then fell asleep.
…
In the forest, the strong smell of blood permeated the entire space. On the ground, corpses of animals and monsters lay everywhere.
The moonlight shone down on the pools of blood on the ground and then bounced around, and this made the entire forest seem to be covered in blood.
Lizaru stood on the ground, around him were countless floating black souls. He held a magic staff and stomped it on the ground, his eyes glowing blood red.
On the ground, under his feet, there was a magic circle emitting a strange purple light.
At this time, Swordary frowned and asked Haya: "Can he summon so many souls at the same time?"
Haya held a crystal ball in her hand, then stared at Lizaru: "Hm... in fact, he can summon about 100 souls at the same time."
"However, this time he was able to summon so many souls because those souls were only the souls of animals or monsters."
"Besides, he's not looking for much information, he's just looking for one person. That's why he isn't wasting much magical energy checking the memories of those souls."
"Tch!" At this moment, Taki clicked his tongue: "He's really a monster, isn't he, Akko."
Akko was wearing a tight-fitting outfit that showed off her extremely sexy curves, and on her side were two mysterious daggers.
"Hahaha… Taki, don't lie to me. I'm not a fool, I don't want to make that monster angry at all."
"Huh! Coward." Taki snorted in disdain.
Haya looked at them for a moment, then frowned and sighed. She shook her head then continued paying attention to Laziru.
Suddenly, the glass ball in Haya's hand emitted a dazzling purple aura. She immediately shouted: "Attention!"
The people around heard Haya scream and immediately knew what was happening. They immediately knelt on the ground, their heads bowed close to the ground.
Haya let go of the glass ball, however, it did not fall but remained floating in the air. Then she knelt on the ground like the others.
She suddenly glanced at Lizaru. At this moment, he was concentrating on using magic, so he was unable to pay attention to his surroundings.
However, she had no intention of bothering him because now they needed to find that stone.
The glass ball emitted dazzling light, as it hovered more than three meters above the ground.
Then, a female voice rang out: "Have you found that stone yet?"
