Why?
Because the chance of him dying will greatly increase. However… Even if there was no Goblin Shaman or Orc or High Orc inside, his chance of dying was still very high.
Lathel sighed inwardly: ‘Could it be that the fate of a supporting character who doesn’t accompany the main character is this bad?’
While Lathel was thinking, the Goblins entered the cave.
Everything was completely different from what Lathel thought. He thought that the inside of the cave would be very stinky, with goblins’ feces and urine everywhere.
Besides, he also thought that they would be countless bones of unlucky victims or bones of animals eaten by the Goblins.
However, the inside was completely clean, without any bad odors.
The ground was extremely flat as if it had been leveled for ease of movement. On the cave walls there were countless crystals radiating diffrent colors.
Lathel knew those crystals were elemental stones. The entire cave had a lot of elemental stones, but these Goblins didn’t care about them at all.
Those elemental stones seem to have only one mission in this place, which is to illuminate this cave.
The Goblins continued to carry him deep into the cave, they went through many turns. Even Lathel didn’t know how many turns he had passed and how long the goblins had been walking…
He only knew, from the moment he entered the cave, he excitedly observed the surroundings, until he felt tired and fell asleep and when he woke up, these Goblins were still moving.
Lathel felt confused, just how big was this cave?
About an hour later, the Goblins finally brought him out of the cave.
Lathel saw the scene in front of him and was surprised, he was so surprised that he opened his mouth.
At this time, the sky was dark.
Borrowing the light from the three moons in the sky, Lathel could see the surrounding space.
This place was like a small valley as wide as a stadium, it was surrounded by cliffs that were over 30 meters high, and they formed a giant well.
On the ground was a layer of soft grass, in the middle of this area was a large lake and a castle that seemed like it was built in medieval European times.
The Goblins placed him in front of the castle gate, then left immediately.
While Lathel felt confused, two heavy wooden doors suddenly opened.
A woman, around 160 cm tall, with nearly white hair, a crimson dress on, and a white shawl draped over her shoulders came out of the doors. the woman looked to be about 70 years old.
However, the most special thing about her was that the woman’s irises were red, not black or brown.
It was the red color of blood.
In the dark night, those eyes seemed to radiate blood-colored light. It was both mysterious and scary.
Even though that woman was 70 years old, Lathel could guess that when she was young, she was definitely a super beautiful woman.
Time may have aged her, but her aristocratic temperament and grace were enough to prove Lathel’s speculation.
“Ah! Who are you?”
“Heh?!” Lathel tilted his head, he felt that his IQ was not enough to understand what was happening.
“Ehhh… actually… I was brought to this place by goblins. I don’t know why they brought me here, but… could you untie me?”
The woman tilted her head to look at him, her eyes didn’t seem to have any worry at all. Instead there was excitement and fun.
She slowly walked closer to Lathel, a happy smile on her face.
At this moment, when she stood only about 2 meters away from him, Lathel sighed and said: “Excuse me… can you untie me?”
“What is your name?” It seemed that the woman didn’t care about Lathel’s words, she just stared at his face and asked.
Lathel: “…”
“Excuse me…can you…”
“What is your name?”
Lathel: “…”
“What I mean is… you can untie me first, then, I can…”
“What is your name?”
Lathel: ( ￣ ￣ |||)
…
After a while, Lathel decided to introduce himself, he told her what his name was, where he came from, and why he was here before the woman untied him.
However, she did not use the usual method. He only saw her gently wave her hand, and the rope tying him immediately loosened, then fell to the ground.
‘Heh?! Is this… magic? It’s amazing, just like in the Harry Potter novels.’
The woman smiled, she placed one hand on her chest, while the other held her skirt, as she bowed to Lathel according to the rituals of a noble.
“This is our first meeting, my name is Charlotte, the owner of this castle and this entire area.”
Lathel also bowed his head out of politeness: “This is indeed our first time meeting.”
Charlotte raised her head, her face seemingly unable to contain her happiness and said: “Sorry, those Goblins are under my control. I didn’t think they would trap you, I’m really sorry.”
After she finished speaking, she bowed her head again, her tone was so sincere that Lathel couldn’t get angry.
“Ah! It’s okay… I’m safe now anyway. But… can you show me the way out of this place?”
“out of here?” Charlotte tilted her head, then smiled happily: “Do you want to go somewhere?”
“I… hm… I want to go to the royal magic academy.”
Charlotte now smiled even brighter: “You want to go to the royal magic academy of the Karol empire, right?”
Lathel didn’t answer but just nodded.
She came to his side, gently held his hand and said: “You don’t need to worry, the enrollment will happen 12 days later, so why don’t you come into my castle and enjoy tea with me?” ”
“It’s been a long time since I last saw a human, I don’t want you to leave so quickly.”
“But…” Lathel wanted to find a reason to leave, but he realized something extremely strange.
Although this woman appeared to be around 70 years old, she was not weak, on the contrary, she was very strong.
No matter how hard Lathel tried to struggle, he couldn’t escape Charlotte’s grasp.
“Don’t resist. I won’t hurt you, I just want to talk to you more.”
“Let’s go, there is a delicious tea in the castle, I think you will definitely like it.”
…
Lathel had no choice. He could only let Charlotte drag him inside the castle.
Right now, Lathel felt that Charlotte’s hand was very strange.
It was extremely cold, like it was made from a block of ice. Her skin was white as snow and hee hands cold as ice…
The inside of the castle was extremely gloomy, the smell of mold and dust was everywhere. However, this place did not have any insects.
Not even a spider, a cockroach, or a fly exists.
It was like a haunted castle, as it was filled with only dust, mold and moss. The strange smell among those things entered Lathel’s nose, causing him to frown and cover his nose with his hand.
“Sorry… I’m the only one living in this place so it’s a bit dirty.” Charlotte said smiling.
‘A bit dirty? Is this a bit dirty?’Lathel looked around, as he secretly looked down on her : ‘This place looks more like it has been abandoned for more than 100 years. It’s horribly dirty…’
That’s right, the entire interior of this castle was covered with a white cloth.
However, those sheets no longer retained their white color, as they had seriously rotted and turned into other colors because of moss and mold.
The surrounding scene made Lathel feel a bit scared because it was like a scene from one of the scary movies he had seen.
“U…u…u…”
Suddenly, a terrible sound rang out like a wolf howling.
“Ah! Don’t worry…” Charlotte smiled and said: “Because there are a few holes, the sound of the wind is quite annoying.”
Lathel: “…”
‘I want to get out of this place…’
“You can sit here for now.” Charlotte pointed to a chair and a small round table next to the window and said. .𝒎
It seemed that in this castle, only the chair and table were clean.
As soon as Charlotte let go of his hand, she left. She disappeared after entering the alley outside.
Lathel stood still, wondering if he should run away or stay.
He approached the chair and sat down, after sitting down he looked out the window covered with broken glass, and he saw an extremely beautiful sky.
The three moons radiated light, and each moon radiated a different type of light.
The stars in the sky sparkled like the most beautiful diamonds in the world.
On the ground was a grass field, on the cliff in the distance were countless elemental stones emitting multicolored auras.
It seemed to blend into the sky, and this made lathel think that the light from those elemental stones were the light of stars.
Even if the scenery inside this castle wasn’t great, the outside of the castle was a great, romantic location to admire the beauty of nature in the evening.
Lathel was so immersed in the beauty of nature that he forgot that he was in a rather scary place.
BANG!
“What the hell?”
Lathel shouted in surprise.
He muttered: “Did something just explode?”
Immediately after that, he saw smoke from outside the hallway pouring into the room.
Lathel was startled, however, he remembered that the old woman was still inside the castle.
At this moment, he suddenly felt happy, but then, he didn’t understand why he was frowning.
Lathel sighed: “Okay, consider myself an idiot.”
