Chapter 141: Madness

Charlotte is irrelevant, she has lost her proper use. Through her, the Sang Ye Kingdom clearly expressed his attitude, and at the same time, he tried out Bran's position-neutral and open.
After knowing Bran's position, the missions of the two countries did not want to entangle him. They asked to enter the Northland to meet, but were told by Bran that he was sitting here to prevent outsiders from entering. Upon hearing this reply, the mission could only stay here for the time being.
The power structure of Northland City is horribly simple. Many communication methods have lost their usefulness here. Wanting to buy, win over, or please important people is simply not feasible. At present, there is only one important person in the entire Northland City-Bran.
I wanted to observe and understand the living habits of the people in the North, but found that there was no way to observe here. A few people from the North, all living in the city mansion, seemed to be doing nothing. Gathered together most of the time, honing martial arts. He also dismissed the delegation’s favor.
The difference between wizards and ordinary people is highlighted here. He doesn't need the guards of many people at all, and he doesn't need complicated organizational forms. Everyone is like his accessory.
Through Charlotte's side attack on Zoya, they learned that the people or things that had the most influence on Bran were: the black cat, the old tree, and the attendant Dany. The answer that made people look at each other was beyond their understanding.
Therefore, they decided to return to the world of normal people to solve the problem, let Charlotte and Zoya more contact.
...
The people of Mulberry and Hill, some of them can't understand this city, and there are weirdness everywhere. Although there are demolition and construction everywhere, everywhere is messy, but the law and order is very good.
Baipao talked and laughed happily with the surrounding residents, with no difference in identity at all. But when facing them, he showed obvious arrogance.
Could it be that these nobles and knights can't compare to a group of common people? With everyone's questions, Charlotte asked her new friend Zoya for advice.
"It's really not comparable."
"why?"
"This belongs to the Northland. It is protected by the Northlanders and by the wizard Bran. Those wizards who come to study and settle here need to serve the city. They have an obligation to protect everything here, including these civilians. You do not enjoy privileges here. If you harm these civilians for no reason, you will be regarded as a provocation.
Do you know how we deal with provocations? "
Zoya smiled and gestured to wipe her neck.
Charlotte was a little dissatisfied, and asked: "Aren't they afraid of the Northlanders so indulging in these civilians?"
Zoya raised her head proudly and said: "The people here obey us and respect us."
Charlotte twitched the corners of her mouth and reminded in a low voice: "It's them—Northlanders."
Zoya increased her tone: "It's us from the North! It just so happens that there is a duel today, let you see it."
Charlotte was a little confused, and said casually: "What do you see?"
"Let you see what a Northlander is."
This answer made Charlotte even more confused, and she had to suppress her curiosity and follow Zoya. Knowing the people of the Northland was her purpose of approaching Zoya.
...
Zoya now has an exclusive wooden house in the duel. The furnishings in the house are very simple, an exquisite dressing table and two chairs. After arriving here, Zoya sat in front of the dressing table and began to draw patterns on her face carefully.
Charlotte looked at the mirror on the dressing table and said enviously: "Bran is really nice to you. I have only seen such a good mirror here."
Zoya shook her head, "Every Northlander here has it."
Charlotte hesitated and reminded again: "You are not from the North."
Zoya smiled in the mirror on her own, seemingly satisfied with the facial lines.
"You know? At first, Bran didn't have facial prints. Every northerner didn't have facial prints at first. We must pass the test of life and death to have it."
With the words, Zoya's gentle temperament disappeared, and she gradually showed a sullen attitude. She has completely become another person, no matter her temperament or demeanor, she looks very much like Dani.
Zoya's changes made Charlotte a little surprised. After pulling away carefully, she asked softly: "Are you okay?"
"How can I be wrong?" Zoya turned her head to her, and continued: "Actually, you don't have to be like this, yield to their arrangements and deliberately approach me."
This sentence made Charlotte a little confused, explaining: "I really want to be friends with you."
"Maybe, our situation is so similar." Zoya sighed softly. "At the beginning, his family also planned to use him to marry. We met at that time and became friends-good friends."
Charlotte did not understand, and asked with doubts: "What do you mean? Tell me more clearly, who is he?"
"Except for Bran, who else can it be?
He must have been desperate at that time, his family did not want him, and everyone did not want him. Just like me now, just like you now.
Then, he chose to try. "
Charlotte couldn't help clenching her fists, staring at Zoya, hoping she could continue.
"Dani told me that Bran was a trial of her own choice. At the time, no one wanted him to go, and no one looked forward to him."
Charlotte didn't believe it, "But, he is a wizard, a very powerful wizard."
"It is indeed a very powerful wizard, but his abilities could not be directly used for killing at that time." Zoya seemed to think of some funny things and turned the ring on her finger. "He lied to everyone. At that time, if he cut him directly with a sword, he would probably run away.
It was through trials that Bran became a true Northlander. I can too! I have been having a dream recently. In my dream, I have the same facial texture as Bran. "
Zoya laughed happily, "Do you know what this means?"
Charlotte nodded and couldn't help but remember what Bran said: "Our fear, our expectation, finally turned into our ability, became our support, and turned us into wizards."
The noise outside the door gradually rose, the voice changed from chaos to unity, and Charlotte finally heard what people were calling—Northland! Zoya! Under her surprised gaze, Zoya got up and walked out.
...
Standing in the duel, Zoya enjoyed it all. She likes people cheering for her like this, like people treating her as a Northlander.
Here is her trial field, her opponents range from weak to strong, from defenseless to fully armed. Here, she won true respect and won her name-Beidi Zoya.
She didn't know what was going on today, why she said this to Charlotte. Perhaps it was the power concealed in her body that made her a little gaffe. She could feel that this power was about to break out of the cocoon, just today, right in front of her eyes.
