Another World: The Failed Magician

Rod walked up and gently patted Lu Xuan on the shoulder.

"That's just how it is sometimes."

When Lu Xuan looked over, Luo De waved his hand.

Seeing that Luo De was of no use, Lu Xuan could only say helplessly, "Don't forget the important matter."

"Ah."

Upon hearing Charlotte's response, Elise looked at her warily.

Elise was very disappointed. She hadn't expected that this pretty young lady was in cahoots with that villain.

Just then, Charlotte gently stroked Iris's hair, tenderly comforting the little one in her arms.

Iris looked at Charlotte with a puzzled expression.

"Why... why?"

Charlotte shook her head at her.

"None of this is your fault. I will read your memories in a moment."

At first, Elise was confused, but after hearing the next sentence, she immediately began to strongly resist.

Charlotte gently tapped the girl's forehead, and Iris suddenly fell silent.

Just then, a dozen dark figures emerged from the shadows of the house and surrounded Lu Xuan and his two companions.

Lu Xuan calmly observed the dozen or so dark figures; the strongest among them were only advanced martial artists.

Lu Xuan snapped his fingers.

A gentle breeze swept through all the shadows.

Then the breeze seemed to transform into a powerful chain, binding everyone in place.

But these shadowy figures were clearly well-trained, unlike Elise at all.

Upon realizing they were being controlled, they immediately bit through the poison that had been hidden in their mouths from the beginning.

Lu Xuan keenly sensed the scent of poison.

Lu Xuan reacted immediately, waving his right hand and sending another breeze through.

But these shadowy figures were very decisive; before the breeze even touched their bodies, they had already ended their own lives.

Just when Lu Xuan thought all his efforts were in vain, one of the people hesitated for a moment, and it was this hesitation that gave Lu Xuan the opportunity.

The poison in his mouth was forced out by the breeze.

The man was filled with remorse and wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide.

But he soon discovered that his body was no longer under his control.

All of this happened very quickly.

Fortunately, Charlotte reacted quickly; the moment the shadow appeared, she gently blocked Elise's view with her right hand.

Only after the shadowy figure had fallen did she slowly move her hand away.

Elise stared blankly at the figure collapsed on the ground.

"Who...who are they?"

"They are people from your church."

Elise immediately realized that these people were using her as bait to lure out the church members.

Elise's face flushed red with anger. She opened her mouth angrily, like a cat with its fur standing on end, and bit down on Charlotte.

Charlotte reached out her right hand and tapped the little girl on the head, and Iris felt her anger suddenly dissipate.

Elise lay blankly in Charlotte's arms.

Suddenly, Elise shook her head.

What's wrong with you?

Just as Elise was about to speak, Charlotte stuck her index finger to her lips.

"Although I know it's wrong to use you, you've all actually been used by the church."

"How could that be? You're the bad guys!"

Elise retorted with dissatisfaction.

Charlotte continued to explain patiently.

"This place isn't safe. I'll take you somewhere else in a bit, and you'll see. In the meantime, you should get some quiet sleep."

After saying that, Charlotte extended her index finger and gently tapped Iris's forehead.

Elise suddenly felt a strong wave of drowsiness wash over her.

The little girl held on for a while before falling asleep in Charlotte's arms.

After doing all this, Charlotte turned to look at Lu Xuan and Rod.

The two people surrounded the only person still alive.

"How is it? Still not working?"

Lu Xuan shook his head helplessly.

“No, his memories are a jumbled mess, we can’t get any information from him.”

It seems likely that there are church members in other places as well.

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, glanced at the two of them, and finally fixed his gaze on Iris in Charlotte's arms.

Charlotte naturally noticed this as well.

She held the little girl protectively in her arms.

"Rhodes, what do you mean?"

After realizing his intentions had been seen through, Rhodes scratched his head awkwardly.

"I wonder if these so-called saintesses have different memories?"

Charlotte glared at him angrily.

“You know the consequences of forcibly collecting memories. For these little girls, what you’re doing could very well lead to lifelong dementia.”

"But... this is a special case."

Charlotte stared intently at Rhodes.

Rod could only look to Lu Xuan for help.

After seeing Rhodes like this, Charlotte also fixed her gaze on Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan looked at the two of them and helplessly rubbed his forehead.

"I said from the beginning that I wouldn't do anything to them. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

After seeing the disbelieving looks on their faces.

Lu Xuancai then revealed the real reason.

“They are blessed by the gods. Searching their memories will not only fail to yield the information we want, but will also alert the gods.”

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Rod had no choice but to abandon his idea.

"This is the fifth saintess we've captured today. Shall we continue?"

Lu Xuan shook his head.

"I originally wanted to see if there would be any unexpected gains, but the church was more vigilant than I expected."

"So all our hard work these past few days was for nothing?"

Lu Xuan shook his head.

"It's not that bad. I just said there would be no unexpected gains. Since the other party is so wary, let's stick to the original plan."

"What? You're finally willing to tell me about that mysterious plan?"

Rod suddenly got excited.

After all, a few days ago, for some unknown reason, Lu Xuan asked everyone to accompany him to the Kingdom of the God of Light.

They had asked him about the reason, and Lu Xuan said that there was a special plan, but he had not told them the specific details of the plan yet.

Lu Xuan thought back to the way he came and walked back.

"You'll know then."

Seeing that Lu Xuan had already walked away slowly.

Rod followed, annoyed.

"I hate riddle people like you the most!"
