First Wizarding World War

Chapter 27 Fiancee

Anne soon became the focus of the party.

Most of the participants in this party were students of Gorgias University, and they were all classmates who entered the same class in the thirty-third year of Black Moon. There were only a few "outsiders" who were invited.

As an "outsider", Charlotte chose to be low-key. He sat down in the corner of the banquet hall and took out the diary to study.

He now has two things that he always carries with him, one is the blood-sucking hand axe, and the other is the diary of his predecessor.

In this occasion, it is not convenient to practice bloody glory, so Charlotte opened the side of the labyrinth of Agmiras. It seems that because of studying for a long time, he has also figured out a little bit of insights.

When Charlotte was further analyzing the first Agmiras Labyrinth, a man came over, showing his white teeth and smiled: "I am Andre, a third-year student at Gorgias University like everyone else. May I know your name? Are you interested in playing cards with us?"

Charlotte smiled and replied: "Charlotte, graduated from Sheffield University. I am not very good at playing cards, still can't."

Andre did not retreat, and then two or three young people came over and encouraged Charlotte to join with Andre. Their warm invitation made it difficult for Charlotte to refuse. After a few declines, she had to agree.

When he sat at the card table with Andre, he felt something was wrong, but pretended to know nothing and started the first game with a smile.

The cards that Andre and his friends played were called Takulo cards, which had a total of 144 cards. The best cards were the nine righteous god cards, which were also the only main cards that remained unchanged in the Takulo cards. The other main cards were different in each set, but most of them were famous figures in the Old World, including kings, generals, famous scholars, strange evil gods, and various auxiliary cards. The gameplay was not difficult, but there were many doubling mechanisms, and often the winnings and losses in one round would be particularly large.

For this reason, Takulo cards were only popular among nobles and wealthy people, and being able to play Takulo cards was even considered a symbol of status.

Charlotte Mecklen was already good at playing cards, and after regaining her memory, she did not seem awkward at the card table.

After two consecutive rounds, Charlotte lost one for and twenty centimes, but he was not upset, but became more calm and composed.

These young people were cheating!

They probably heard from Belina that Charlotte had a good salary and had recently bought a mansion worth 200 ecu, so they had other ideas.

However, when it comes to cheating, how could Charlotte, who graduated from the Department of Mathematics, be worse than these "wild Dings"?

Not to mention, he has an eye for insight.

After two or three rounds of testing, Charlotte determined the greed of these young people, deliberately threw some bait, and then let the game go to a stalemate. Although he lost many times, he would have a "lucky game" every few rounds, and often recovered most of his capital in one go.

Andre saw that he had played more than 20 rounds of cards, but the difference between winning and losing was not big. He was a little anxious. He signaled to several companions and said with a smile: "The winning and losing is too small. It's really meaningless to play like this. Why don't we raise the stakes?"

Charlotte readily agreed. After raising the stakes, his "luck" seemed to be bad all of a sudden. He lost more than ten rounds in a row and had lost more than 70 francs.

When Charlotte showed that she was losing and proposed to raise the stakes, the group of young people were very happy and agreed tacitly. But this time, Charlotte's luck suddenly turned hot. After more than a dozen rounds of cards, she not only won back all the money she lost, but also earned almost 13 ecu 6 francs. The group of young people were pale with loss. They didn't understand why everyone worked together to cheat and still played the cards like this?

After Charlotte won the last hand, she smiled and said, "Sorry, I have to take Miss Anne home. She must be home before dinner."

This excuse is impeccable.

After all, the rules of the Brittany family are indeed famously strict, and no one dares to stop Anne from going home late.

Charlotte got rid of this group of young people who love gambling and cheating, walked to Anne and said, "I wonder if I have the honor to take Miss Anne home?"

Anne smiled slightly and said goodbye to several female companions. When she left the banquet hall, she whispered, "Andre and his people are very annoying. They often lure people to play cards in school and cheat people's money collectively."

"But none of them have been promoted to extraordinary."

Speaking of this, Anne smiled cunningly. As a dream walker, she had already observed the card game over there. Charlotte looked like she had a sure win, so she didn't say anything to stop it.

Charlotte couldn't help laughing and said, "Miss Anne, you are sometimes very ladylike."

Anne covered her mouth, but her eyebrows were curved and her smile couldn't be concealed.

She had been chatting with people all afternoon, and was actually quite depressed, but when she saw Charlotte killing everyone and beating Andre and his group, she immediately felt that today's party was quite interesting.

Although Anne was brave, she didn't dare to let Charlotte take her home. Instead, she took Charlotte back to No. 58, Champs-Elysees, and then reluctantly said goodbye and left.

Charlotte watched Anne's carriage leave, and she felt quite relieved.

Although it took a day, he believed that this would not affect his solution to the current difficulties.

If he couldn't solve the threat of the two evil gods in the end, it wouldn't be because of today's date.

In the next few days, Menilman Su Mei didn't come to work.

Charlotte was never late, but she was happy to leave early. His date with Anne Breton was so frequent that it was shocking, and their relationship quickly heated up.

In addition to dating, he didn't delay serious matters. He went back to school several times and consulted with several professors with the most knowledge at Sheffield University. However, none of the professors were familiar with labyrinthology, and there was still no progress in the research on the Agmiras Labyrinth.

As for the blood-sucking secret scroll, he didn't dare to mention it. Summoning evil gods would be subject to burning!

He ran to Sheffield University, which was protected by the goddess, and excitedly said that he had summoned the blood clan evil god. The professors would help him build a bonfire.

Fortunately, the practice of bloody glory was advancing day by day, and the date of the blood clan evil god Karnstein's return was repeatedly postponed, which made him a little relieved.

The postal system of the empire was quite powerful, and Charlotte soon received good news.

After receiving his brother's written promise to give up his inheritance rights, his brother, thinking of brotherly love, attached a savings slip of the savings union in the reply letter, with a face value of 550 ecu, and happily agreed to help cancel the engagement.

His brother's reply also provided a piece of news that the fiancée decided to come to Strasbourg in person and sign a formal document of breaking off the engagement with Charlotte in person.

The day after Charlotte received the reply, she had a very pleasant date with Anne, went to see an opera, and took a public carriage home.

Charlotte walked leisurely into the alley. At the door of her house, she unexpectedly saw a very beautiful girl sitting on the steps of No. 58. She was a little embarrassed, with some dust on her forehead, and her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned. It was obvious that she was in a very bad mood.
