Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 62

"Just go to Jiss to go through the formalities. She is on duty today. Come on, next."

The man wearing the monkey headgear left with a lot of worries. Licia watched the lively scene and decided to follow him to meet Keith first.

Geese was the one who had divination for Licia in the Black Pearl Exchange last time.

The man in the monkey headgear never noticed that someone was following him.

He entered a cave, then stepped up the stairs and drew back the curtain.

Licia was two steps behind him. The gray linen curtain was covered with many precious stones.

"Gies, give me a vacation, ten days away."

"What! You know that if you need to take ten days off now, and multiply the internal time by five to make up for it, it is equivalent to needing to make up for 50 years. You have only been here for half a year, and only half a day has passed outside. Why do you Don't stay for ten years before going back." Gies made a bluffing sound.

"My wife is in danger. I originally wanted to be like you and stay for ten years before going out. However, my wife may not be able to wait for me."

"Okay..." Keith nodded.

"Who?" Keith suddenly opened his eyes, turned his feet up on the table, and stood up.

Licia covered her mouth, she didn't make a sound just now, and she didn't know how Keith found out.

"It's me." Licia squinted her eyes, looking at Geese who had a 30.00% favorability. "We've seen it."

Keith was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered. "It's you, why did you come here, do you need to work here for ten years?"

Licia suddenly felt a little flustered. "What? What ten years, Mr. Black Pearl just asked me to come over to apply for the card."

Keith lifted the curtain. "Come in."

The man in the monkey headgear has taken it off and put it on the table.

The man in the monkey headgear looks nothing like a monkey. He has a dark face, many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, a protruding upper lip, a receding chin, eyes looking at the ground, and fingers constantly tapping on the table. "Master Gies, can we go through the formalities quickly?"

"Okay, wait a minute." Keith kicked the luminous fruit on the floor of the room carelessly.

"You, wife, are you in any danger?"

Keith was flipping through a thick document, and Licia struck up a conversation.

"Nothing, I can handle it."

After a while, Keith hadn't finished the formalities.

"You are the one who stays outside all the time, right?" When the man spoke, his chin receded further and squeezed out several layers of chin.

"Yes." Licia replied.

"It's supposed to be morning, right?" he said, shaking his legs.

Licia nodded. "Should be? Where are you going back to now?"

The man took a deep breath. "Sufaluo."

"Sufaluo?!" Licia felt that this was a bit too coincidental. If the time here is one year, it is equal to one day outside.

Keith said that the man had been working there for half a year, so that is to say, he fell down only half a day ago.

That is, the night before.

"To be honest, I also came from Sufaluo. At the foot of the eastern mountain range in Sufaluo." Licia was thinking in her head, is this swamp so famous as a place to dump corpses?

"Me." He didn't listen to Licia's words, but stood up suddenly, and knelt on the ground with a plop. "I beg you, Lord Gies, please help me, help me, hurry up, hurry up, as long as you go out a second earlier, maybe you can be saved."

Licia was taken aback.

Keith nodded, speeding up the process.

"Okay, okay, take your pass, and hurry to the third gate, the mud monster will send you up and back to the well." Keith finished.

"Wait, I'll go with you, I can help you." Licia showed the weapon in her hand, not because Licia was particularly nosy, but she felt that this matter could be resolved within her ability Things might be related to me.

She was about to leave when Keith grabbed her arm. "Wait, I'll go with you too."

Keith's eyes were glued to the silver ring of thorns.

"Lord Gies? Are you not on duty?" The man who hadn't paid attention to Licia at all and rushed out without saying a word stopped in his tracks.

"Not on duty, listen to this lady, and help you first. When I come back, I will help you change the vacation time, as long as you use it, don't stay in Black Pearl City for 50 years, you will die." Geese Kicked open the door a ball of mud that was blocking the way. "Tell Mud Monster to arrange for Basil to replace him, and his leave system is too inhumane."

Licia followed through a long corridor and got into a carriage made of mud. Although there were no horses in front of the carriage, there were only little clay figurines towing the cart.

"Is the Black Pearl City so big?" Licia adjusted her sitting posture, but she was a little obstructed. When she looked down, Geese was looking at Licia's silver ring with a good eye.

"Yeah, it's really big." The man sighed, as if with the arrival of Geese, his mood relaxed a little. "I haven't done a good shopping yet, I've been waiting in the main city for Lord Black Pearl to come."

"Oh, it's all because of the mud monsters. If you want to help people, you should help them to the end. It's no good to come here every few years and say to make a wish." Keith slumped on the chair, his eyes still couldn't leave Licia's hand. Ring of silver thorns.

"Do you know how the people in Black Pearl City got here?" Because the journey seemed a little far away, Geese actually chatted with Licia.

"They were all thrown into the swamp." The man answered. "It was Mr. Black Pearl who saved us. Although it cost ten years to work inside to get out, and ten years is only ten days, it's just that I need to go out in a hurry."

"Actually, I think that Lord Black Pearl is also thinking about us. After all, after working in Black Pearl City for ten years, the age will also increase by ten years, and people will become more mature. Especially for those who want to take revenge, living ten years longer Years, maybe I have more confidence to take revenge." The man shrugged.

"Revenge." Licia muttered.

"That's right, the people who were seriously injured and thrown in were almost all killed, and they were the only ones left." Keith sighed. "Of course, except for me, I came here by myself."

Licia thought about it too. The illegitimate child who was dealt with at the beginning was also thrown into the swamp. Could it be that he was also rescued?

Wait, five years old, killed five years ago, and then thrown down, ten years later, it is equivalent to ten days, so the illegitimate child will definitely not be a little boy around ten years old.

He is at least 20 years old.

"What about you, were you killed by your enemies?" Gith's question temporarily interrupted Licia's train of thought. It also wanted to hear why the man was thrown here.

"It's not my enemies. I was murdered by people from the church. They took advantage of the chaos half a year ago, no, it was the chaos of the past few days, and plundered my property. I wanted to sue them for their crimes. I even wrote the crimes. Just waiting for the carriage from the imperial capital to pass by, but in the middle of the night, someone bound his hands and feet, covered his mouth, and threw him into the swamp."
