Chapter 171:Maid outfit and Lolita (1)
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a muffled sound, the four orcs were sent flying almost simultaneously, crashing down tens of meters away, their breaths interrupted.
"Wow... amazing!" Kasha's mouth hung open in astonishment.
"Has the boss become a knight? But he was a mage!" Vivian also wore an expression of disbelief. She thought Charlotte would use magic spells in battle.
She never expected him to handle the fight so deftly with a scalpel and his physical skills.
You should know that the pig-headed orc was at least of third-level strength!
Yet, the boss killed him in just a second.nove(l)bi(n.)com
Doesn't that mean the boss is now an intermediate knight?
How... how is that possible?!
Charlotte brushed off the dust on his pants and carefully wiped the bloodstains off the scalpel with a cloth. Then, he calmly said to the two stunned women, "Let's go, Tova Street is ahead."
Vivian pulled Kasha, whose legs were still weak, and followed Charlotte, quietly asking, "Boss, when did you become a knight? And... you even became an intermediate knight."
"Shh, it's a secret," Charlotte replied, glancing at her and speaking softly.
"Got it, got it," Vivian nodded, showing an understanding expression.
The boss's background is even more tumultuous than hers. He went from being a prodigy banished from magic to now becoming an intermediate knight.
The suffering he experienced can be imagined.
From being banished from magic to the present, it had only been three years.
Therefore, in just three short years, at the age of twenty-something, he started from scratch and trained to become a third-level knight.
It's... simply an abnormal existence!
You should know that knight training emphasizes a solid foundation.
You must cultivate your bones from a young age, gradually solidifying your foundation as you grow older.
If you want to become a knight, later on, you must endure hundredfold efforts.
She thought of Charlotte's rumored fiance, Elizabeth, the daughter of the Lord of Calva. She was hailed as the most talented knight among the younger generation.
Even though Vivian was far away in the capital, she had heard many legends about Elizabeth.
But after being stranded in the chaotic and lawless Abyss, she deeply felt the importance of self-defense.
Healing magic could save others, but when faced with villains, it couldn't save her.
They walked through the alley and arrived at Tova Street.
The Night of the Red Moon was a devastating disaster for Tova Street. Half of the street was destroyed, and the residents suffered heavy casualties.
But after a few days, Charlotte was surprised to find that the destroyed buildings had all been repaired, and even some old buildings that hadn't collapsed were demolished and rebuilt.
A brand new Tova Street appeared before them.
The shops along the street were posting rental notices, and about half of them were under renovation and displaying merchandise.
Knights wearing black armor were patrolling the streets, and Charlotte noticed the Duru family crest on their chests.
The chaotic district that was once filled with magic drug addicts and dealers suddenly became orderly after the Duru family took over.
Charlotte was somewhat surprised, yet also relieved.
If Roland could promote this model throughout the Abyss, the transformation of Abyss into Calva wouldn't be just a fantasy.
Of course, there was still a long way to go before it became a vibrant city, but restoring order and establishing investment confidence were undoubtedly the first steps.
"It feels similar to Baka Street here, relatively safer," Vivian whispered following behind Charlotte.
"The safest place is by the Master's side," Kasha followed closely to Charlotte, almost sticking to him.
The previous experience had frightened her. Now she realized how terrifying and dangerous the Abyss truly was.
But the powerful Charlotte gave her a strong sense of security, especially when he held her. She felt a slowly growing sense of safety.
Charlotte led the two of them to Eighth Lane, where the tailor's shop was open. He approached and knocked on the door.
Ivan, who was cutting fabric, looked up and his eyes lit up. He happily put down the scissors and walked over, saying, "Dr. Charlotte, why are you here!"
After not seeing each other for over half a month, Ivan's complexion was completely different from when they first met.
He was once emaciated and on the verge of death, but now his cheeks had regained some flesh, although he was still thin.
His complexion looked almost normal now.
"Just came to see how you're doing, and also to have two sets of clothes tailored for the staff in the shop," Charlotte entered the tailor's shop.
Kasha and Vivian followed in.
