Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 31. The Joker and Flintstone

Wrapped in a dusty short fleece coat, Lizia was walking on Chittorbach Street. She booked a carriage and waited for her to take her back to the academy.

"Puts, puffs." A man with lumpy hair was following Licia, and his speed was getting faster and faster, and he was about to catch up with her.

"It's me, miss."

Licia turned her head in surprise, and a face painted with white oil paint appeared behind her abruptly.

"Mr. Puddingkit?" Licia had a deep memory of the man with the clown face, it was so ugly and scary.

"Oh, of course, that's me." The red oil paint on the corner of his mouth is very irregular, one side is drawn to the root of the ear, and the other is drawn to the edge of the chin.

"Look to the left, look to the left, it's over there." Clown Pudding Kit pointed to the black bag under the steps of a flour shop. "Wait a minute, someone will take that bag, you follow him, remember?"

Licia nodded blankly, and just when she was about to explain why she did what she did, Pudding Kit disappeared.

The sheriff wandering by the side of the road didn't seem to notice this at all. Licia had already seen the carriage waiting for her, right in front of the flour shop.

She walked forward, passed the flour shop, took a look in, and there were several civilians standing, but she couldn't tell anyone in particular.

When she got to the side of the carriage, she couldn't help turning her head again.

Just in time, he saw a man with a hunched back, a patched hat, and half a bag of flour on his shoulders, stepping on a pair of rag-toe shoes. He picked up the black bag on the steps and headed back towards Licia. go in the opposite direction.

If I don't take the carriage back to the academy now, I won't be able to go back.

Licia struggled for a long time, finally gritted her teeth and followed.

The coachman stood where he was holding a silver coin. "Miss, do I still need to wait for you?" This silver coin is enough for her to ride back and forth three times.

"No need." Licia followed the man at a leisurely pace without turning her head.

Licia guessed in her heart, and judging by the 70.00% favorability and height on the top of her head, she felt that it was probably her brother Keith Campbell.

And his traveling route was also heading for the noble cemetery.

After her mother died, Lizia had been looking forward to her brother's return and being afraid of his return.

The person carrying the black bag led her through several alleys with no people.

Finally, he came to the gate of the noble cemetery.

"Brother, is that you?" Licia stepped forward eagerly. It was getting late now, and in the cemetery only the tomb guard circle was still shining.

"Miss!" The person carrying the black bag suddenly turned his head. His originally neat hair became messy, and his body shape changed a lot, revealing a mouthful of bloody teeth. "It's me, haha, Pudding Kit, I didn't expect that."

Licia paused for a moment. At this moment, she found that the favorability bar above his head had dropped to zero, and the twin crest could completely imitate a person.

"Where's my brother?" Licia took out the silver thorns in her bag. "do not come."

A very distorted smile appeared on Pudding Kit's face. "Case, that idiot, almost died at the hands of the church."

"What did you bring me here for?" Licia took two steps back. She had a feeling that the clown was very powerful, far above her.

"The heraldic stone, Miss, your mother's heraldic stone, the carrier pigeon." Pudding Kit took two steps forward, and Licia took two steps back.

"I warn you, stay away from me. Although there is no one else in the cemetery, I know how to activate the tomb guard circle." Licia took off her heavy short fleece coat and assumed a fighting posture.

"Don't be nervous, miss." The clown cleared his throat. "It was your brother who asked me to come. He needs a heraldry stone that can deliver messages quickly."

Licia shook her head. "I do not believe."

Based on her understanding of Case for so many years, he would never know the news of his mother's death, not only did not show up, but instead instructed her to steal the heraldry stone.

Puddingkit seemed to turn into a flash of lightning, and suddenly came to Licia's back, grabbing Licia's hair with one hand.

"Little girl, don't talk so much nonsense. If you don't get the heraldry stone today, then next month, people from the church will dig it out and throw it into the Catherine Cathedral." Budding Kit said fiercely .

Lycia tried to attack him, but failed.

He reappeared on Lycia's other side. "If you can't hit me, just slightly."

"You asked me to dig up my mother's grave, that's impossible!" Lizia snarled, hoping someone would pass by and hear it now.

"Listen, little girl, please keep your voice down. If people can hear you, then your family will be completely ruined. Now you quietly help me steal the heraldry stone, and you can make the church suspect your brother." Pudding Kit's saliva sprayed all over Licia's delicate face.

Lycia held back the feeling of wanting to vomit, and dealt with Pudding Kit. "You let me go first, and then there is room for negotiation."

Clown Pudding Kit wasn't fooled. "Do you think I didn't see, um, how you confused that master?"

Licia wished to go back in time, if she gritted her teeth and got on the carriage, nothing would happen.

"No, I won't," she said firmly. "Even if you kill me, I won't give you this bad guy's heraldry stone."

Pudding Kit made a babbling sound and kept stomping on the spot.

He didn't intend to kill Licia.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Licia heard a burst of extremely fast footsteps.

"Budding Kit, stop." This time it was the owner of the bookstore, Flindona.

"Miss Licia, I'm very sorry." Flindorna forced the clown to let go of Licia.

"We really need the heraldry stone, and we can exchange it with you."

Licia shook her head decisively. "No, I don't want you to destroy my mother's body."

"Don't you want to know, um, the real cause of the Duchess's death?" Flindoner straightened his bushy mustache.

Licia froze for a moment. "Do you know why?"

"You can only know after seeing the corpse." While Fulin Dona was speaking, the clown Pudding Kit kept making noises and whirled around Licia.

"Listen, we and your brother are members of an organization. We won't destroy the Duchess's body, just want to take out the heraldry stone before the church. Miss Lycia must have known what the church is doing. They control All the heraldry stones, but also concealed an important news." Fu Lindona was persuasive.

"What important news?" Licia picked up the short fleece coat on the ground and wrapped it up again. It was too cold here, and her limbs began to stiffen.

"The people from the Eye of the Dead Sea have already reached the Empire of Thorns." Fulin Dona looked at Licia and said.
