Charlotte is irrelevant, she has lost her due purpose. Through her, the Mulberry Leaf Kingdom clearly expressed its attitude, and at the same time tested Bran's position - neutrality and openness.

After knowing Bran's position, the envoys from the two countries did not want to tangle with him. They requested to enter the Northland to meet with him, but were told by Bran that he was here to prevent outsiders from entering. After hearing this reply, the envoys only

I can stay here temporarily and wait for the opportunity.

The power structure in Beidic City is ridiculously simple. Many communication methods have lost their use here. Trying to bribe, win over, or please important people is simply not feasible. At present, the important people in the entire Beidic City are only

There is one - Bran.

I wanted to observe and understand the living habits of the Northlanders, but found that there was no way to observe them here. The few Northlanders all lived in the city, and they all seemed to have nothing to do. They spent most of their time together, honing their martial arts. To the mission

Even the show of kindness was dismissed.

What makes the wizard different from ordinary people is highlighted here. He does not need the protection of many people at all, and does not need complicated organizational forms. Everyone is like his appendage.

Through Charlotte's insinuations about Zoya, they learned that the people or things that have the most influence on Bran are: the black cat, the ancient tree, and the squire Dany. This answer that made everyone look at each other has exceeded them.

scope of understanding.

Therefore, they decided to return to the world of normal people to solve the problem and let Charlotte and Zoya have more contact.

…

Some people from Mulberry Leaf and Qiuling cannot understand this city, which is full of weirdness. Although demolition and construction are happening everywhere and everything looks messy, the public security is very good.

Baipao was chatting and laughing with the surrounding residents, and there was no discernible difference in status. However, when facing them, he showed obvious arrogance.

Are these nobles and knights not as good as a group of common people? With everyone's doubts, Charlotte asked her new friend Zoya for advice.

"It's really not comparable."

"Why?"

"This place belongs to the Northland and is protected by the people of the Northland and the wizard Bran. Those wizards who come here to study and settle down need to serve this city, and they have the obligation to protect everything here, including of course these civilians.

You do not enjoy any privileges here, and if you harm these civilians without any reason, it will be considered a provocation.

Do you know how we respond to provocation?"

Zoya smiled and made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Charlotte was a little dissatisfied and asked: "Aren't you afraid of the people in the North who let these civilians go so far?"

Zoya raised her head proudly and said, "The people here obey us and respect us."

Charlotte twitched the corner of her mouth and reminded in a low voice: "It's them - the people from the North."

Zoya emphasized her tone: "It's us from the North! There happens to be a duel today, let me show you it."

Charlotte was a little confused and said casually: "What did you see?"

"Let you see what a Northlander is."

This answer made Charlotte even more confused. She had to suppress her curiosity and follow Zoya. Understanding the people from the North was her purpose in approaching Zoya.

…

Zoya now has an exclusive wooden house in the duel arena. The furnishings in the house are very simple, including an exquisite dressing table and two chairs. After arriving here, Zoya sat in front of the dressing table and began to paint her face carefully.

Picture pattern.

Charlotte looked at the mirror on the dressing table and said with envy: "Bran treats you very well. I have only seen such a good mirror here."

Zoya shook her head, "Every Northlander here has one."

Charlotte hesitated and reminded again: "You are not from the North."

Zoya smiled to herself in the mirror, seemingly satisfied with her tattoos.

"Do you know? Initially, Bran also had no facial markings. Every Northlander did not have facial markings at first. We must go through the test of life and death before we can have it."

With the words, Zoya's gentle temperament disappeared, and she gradually revealed her scornful attitude. She became a completely different person, both in temperament and demeanor, she looked very much like Danni.

Zoya's change made Charlotte a little confused. After she carefully distanced herself, she asked softly: "Are you okay?"

"How could something happen to me?" Zoya turned her head towards her and continued: "Actually, you don't have to do this, succumb to their arrangements and deliberately approach me."

This sentence made Charlotte a little embarrassed and explained: "I really want to be friends with you."

"Maybe, our situations are so similar." Zoya sighed softly. "At the beginning, his family also planned to use him for marriage. We met at that time and became friends - good friends."

Charlotte didn't understand and asked with confusion: "What do you mean? Please tell me more clearly, who is he?"

"Who else could it be but Bran?

He must have been desperate at that time. His family no longer wanted him, and everyone no longer wanted him. Just like me now, just like you now.

Then, he chose the trial."

Charlotte couldn't help but clenched her fists and stared at Zoya, hoping she would continue talking.

"Dani told me that Bran chose the trial by himself. At that time, no one wanted him to go, and no one thought highly of him."

Charlotte didn't believe it, "But he is a wizard, a very powerful wizard."

"He is indeed a very powerful wizard, but his ability could not be directly used for killing at that time." Zoya seemed to have thought of something funny and twirled the ring on her finger. "He lied to everyone. At that time

, if you just hit him with a sword, he would probably run away.

Bran only passed the trial to become a true Northlander. I can do it too! I have been having a dream recently, in which I have the same facial pattern as Bran."

Zoya laughed happily, "You know what this means, right?"

Charlotte nodded, and couldn't help but think of what Bran said: "Our fears and our expectations eventually turned into our abilities and became our reliance, allowing us to transform into wizards."

The noise outside the door gradually rose, and the sound changed from chaos to unity. Charlotte finally heard clearly what the people were shouting - Northland! Zoya! Under her surprised gaze, Zoya got up and walked out.

…

Standing in the duel arena, Zoya enjoyed everything. She liked people cheering for her like this, and liked people treating her as a Northlander.

This is her trial ground. Her opponents range from weak to powerful, from unarmed to fully armed. Here, she wins true respect and her name - Northland Zoya.

She didn't know what happened today and why she said these things to Charlotte. Maybe it was the power contained in her body that made her lose her composure. She could feel that this power was about to break out of the cocoon, just today, just now
