Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 167 167. City of Manhela
Lycia and Posetti stood side by side, and the reversed goddess circle formed an arc-shaped cover above the city of Corlia.

One after another, skeletons with withered flesh hanging from their bones collided with the edge of the goddess' circle, and then backed away vigilantly.

The huge skull shown by the purple-black mist appeared again, and it kept going upwards, confronting the edge of the goddess' circle.

Licia watched helplessly as the skeleton soldiers in front of her turned into powder and all gathered in one direction.

"Get out of here immediately." Licia sent the indiscriminate power in her body to the goddess magic circle in Corlia City, "It is accumulating power, and the magic circle can't stop it all the time."

"Let's take these people to a safe place first," Licia said.

"Go to Manhela City." Manhela City is as important as the heart of Wood Heights.

Occasionally, a few strange beasts hovered in the sky, and a mighty team of hundreds of meters marched on the official road.

Posetti stood on a war horse in the center of the crowd, looking around with a solemn expression.

A white bird flew straight towards Posetti's arrow and turned into a letter of wax paint.

Lycia, who was holding a book in a hood and sitting on a small cart pulled by the horse, looked up at Posetti. The hood fell from her head, and her golden hair was like a strand of hair. Sunlight.

"What's wrong?" Licia asked.

"My father passed away." Posetti stuffed the letter into his chest, pursed his lips and said nothing.

He still stood firm as before, rejecting his subordinate's request to change shifts.

Licia didn't say anything, after all, showing sympathy at this time would only make people feel more uncomfortable.

Until night, when the team stopped and had to undergo a major overhaul.

Everyone set up a defensive circle, and Posetti got off his horse.

"Sit for a while." Licia patted the seat next to her cart. It was too dark, and she couldn't pretend to be still reading, so she could only look at the ass of the horse.

Posetti jumped on the cart and squatted beside Licia.

Licia suddenly felt a heat on her neck, and a fluffy head leaned over.

"Woooo." It was the choked up voice of the fierce man, that's right.

Posetti actually started crying with his arms around Licia's neck.

Licia's whole body became extremely stiff. She had no experience of comforting others, let alone comforting a tearful man.

"Okay, okay, I will allow you to hold me and cry for 10 minutes, and I will go to sleep in 10 minutes."

The choking movement got bigger.

The soldiers patrolling around turned their heads away, pretending not to see anything.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Posetti's father was the head of the Doba family and the city lord of Manhela.

His death is not only the death of a father, but also will inevitably involve the power change of the Doba family.

Licia's mind was full of plans for the next step, how to help Posetti stabilize his position, how to temporarily stabilize Wood Heights, the area closest to the Dark Mountains, so that it would not be attacked by the enemy.

"Although it's cruel to discuss this with you now, you have to think about how you will take over your father's mess when you get to Manhela City." Licia waited for Posetti's crying to calm down and said, "Besides, if your father's death was not accidental but man-made, then this mess will be even more difficult to clean up."
