Chapter 86: Aska Island (Part 2)

"Who's there!"

Just as Charlotte took a step, several people suddenly emerged from the surroundings. Every one of them held weapons and stared at the group of over twenty people led by Charlotte.

Upon seeing these people, Charlotte's companions instantly drew their weapons as well.

These weapons were all sorts of different kinds.

There were swords and knives, flintlock guns, and some even took out axes.

At the sight of these people, the people who had jumped out immediately grew tense.

The aura exuded by these people was definitely not that of ordinary folks.

Charlotte looked at the guards dressed like villagers and gave a faint smile.

"Get out of the way, or you'll die!"

Charlotte said calmly to these people.

The killing intent on her body simply couldn't be concealed.

This aura instantly made the guards' legs tremble.

After years of slaughter, the killing qi (a kind of aggressive energy in traditional Chinese culture) on Charlotte had already become tangible.

Even if she only emitted a little, it would terrify ordinary people.

Even these people, who were all mountain hunters, couldn't withstand it.

"You! Who are you? Why have you come to our village?"

The guard leader, who was holding a bow and arrow, swallowed hard and asked.

Even though he pretended to be calm, one could still see the panic in his heart.

After hearing this man's words, Charlotte smiled.

"There's something I need in your village's back mountain. If you try to stop me, you'll end up dead!"

Looking at Charlotte's smile, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"Sure enough, they're here for the thing in the back mountain."

After hearing Charlotte's words, one of the guards couldn't help but blurt it out.

"Shut up!"

But as soon as these words were heard by his companions, they all glared at him angrily.

Scared, he immediately fell silent.

According to the legend, almost every once in a while, adventurers would come to their village.

Some of those with good tempers would just go and take a look, while those with bad tempers would kill people everywhere.

And now, Charlotte was instantly categorized by these people as one of those with a bad temper.

After hearing this, the guard leader let out a sigh of relief and put down the bow in his hand.

"Ma'am, you're here for the legendary Seven - Star Sword, right?"

The guard leader said.

Charlotte nodded!

"Fine! Ma'am, we have no objection to you going to look for the Seven - Star Sword, but please don't hurt the people in our village, okay?"

Hearing the guard captain's request, Charlotte agreed without even thinking.

"Of course! I'm not a maniac killer!"

Charlotte said, shrugging her shoulders.

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, the people behind her all looked at Charlotte speechlessly.

You probably forgot your title, The Great Blood - Sword Hero!

"Phew!"

After hearing Charlotte's promise, the guard captain let out another sigh of relief.

"Ma'am, please come in!"

The guard captain stepped aside to make a path, indicating for Charlotte to enter.

Seeing this, Charlotte walked forward without hesitation. She wasn't afraid that these people would play any tricks.

As they watched this group walk past.

One of the guards said.

"Another treasure hunter coming for that ridiculous legend. I hope she won't vent her anger on this place when she leaves empty - handed."

After saying that, the man let out a sigh.

Hearing what the man said, the captain of the guards also sighed.

As Charlotte walked, he was extremely excited.

He was about to get his first famous sword. Although it was an evil sword, he didn't believe that as a time - traveler, he couldn't subdue a sword.

Charlotte quickly led everyone straight to the back mountain.

The villagers along the way saw Charlotte walking menacingly and quickly closed their doors.

It seemed that closing their doors would give them a sense of security.

An old man was sitting in front of his house, watching the scene indifferently.

He didn't run away. He just quietly watched this group of people.

He was old and not afraid of death, so he didn't move.

Charlotte obviously noticed this old man, but he still didn't stop. His mind was full of the Seven - Star Sword.

"Another person who is full of pursuit of power. Such people will surely be lost by power sooner or later!"

The old man softly uttered these words.

After hearing this, Charlotte slightly squinted his eyes, but didn't care and continued walking towards the back mountain.

Paul, however, gave the old man a fierce glare and then quickly followed Charlotte.

The old man shook his head and said nothing.

It was already noon. Charlotte could smell the aroma of the villagers' meals, but it couldn't attract him at all.

After walking for dozens of minutes, 

Finally, an altar came into view.

They walked up along the stone steps.

"Stop! This is a restricted area! Do not step in!"

A clear and loud female voice came from above.

Charlotte looked up and saw a blue - haired girl with a head full of silver ornaments standing in front of the altar, looking down at the group of people at the foot of the mountain.

At the head of the group was Charlotte.

When Charlotte saw this girl, he immediately felt extremely familiar with her. Wasn't this the [witch] in the anime?

She was a bit more innocent, but she still resembled the [witch] in the anime by seven or eight points.

This should be the elder of the [witch] in the anime!

For a moment, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

After all, he hadn't tasted meat for more than three months.

Now, just seeing a [witch] made him a bit "excited"!

"Hello, [witch]! I'm here to search for treasures. I heard that there is an evil sword here called the Seven - Star Sword, right?"

Charlotte looked up at the blue - haired [witch] with silver ornaments standing on the altar and asked.

After hearing this, the [witch]'s expression on her face changed slightly, but she quickly composed herself.

"Sir, there is no Seven - Star Sword you're looking for. It's just a legend. This is our altar, a restricted area, and outsiders are not allowed to visit!"

The silver - ornamented [witch] looked down at the leading middle - aged man and said.

Now, there was still a beard under Charlotte's nose, and he was wearing a magnificent [brocade robe], making him look like a middle - aged wealthy merchant at first glance.

"That won't do! The captain of the guards in front has already agreed. Why can't you?"

Charlotte looked at this [witch] and asked.

It was only because the person in front of him was a beautiful woman. If it were someone else, Charlotte would have cut him down with his sword long ago.

Why would he waste so much breath on them!

"What? Those people actually agreed for you to come?"

Upon hearing this, the witch's face instantly paled, feeling as if she'd been deceived once again.

For generations, the witches had been stationed here and guarded this altar. Every hundred years, the seal on the altar would be lifted, and it was the witches' duty to re - seal it.

This was the witches' mission passed down through the ages.

"Right, witch! Are you still going to stop me?"

Charlotte looked at the witch and asked.

Then, without waiting for a response, she walked towards the altar step by step.

The witch was still stunned by what Charlotte had just said and didn't realize that Charlotte was approaching.

After climbing a few steps, however, the witch finally came to her senses.

"Hey! You, stop right there! Don't come any nearer!"

The witch shouted at Charlotte, who was getting closer.

But Charlotte ignored her and walked right up to the witch's side.
