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?"You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"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 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.

lightsnοvεl 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?"
