After that, the ground troops quickly occupied the palace and arrested the members of the Council of Nobles. At the same time, just as Red Ponytail had announced before, the flag of Torristine was raised above the palace of Albion when the sun rose.
When the news spread, the whole continent was shocked.
To be honest, when Torristine first defeated the regular army of Albion, the higher-ups of most countries did not take the so-called "divine protection" seriously. In their view, whether it was the instant defeat of the regular army of Albion or the strange phenomenon that appeared at that time, they could all be explained by magic.
But this time was different.
Because the intelligence reports from various countries had reported that Torristine's fleet had set off the day before yesterday, and this morning, Torristine's fleet had already captured Albion.
This was absolutely impossible.
This was the first time other countries had begun to seriously consider whether the so-called "divine protection" really existed. After all, if Torristine had such means in the past, it would not have remained a small country.
Could it be that they were really protected by a god from another world?
If that was the case … .then what would Torristine do next?
"Yawn …"
Lying lazily on the bed, Red Ponytail yawned.
Louise was not in the room. Angelietta held a victory banquet to celebrate the victory. Red Ponytail had no interest in such an occasion, so she stayed alone in her room in the academy. Louise went to the banquet. After all, she was a noble, so she had to listen to the queen's summons.
But Red Ponytail did not need to go. She was an oracle, so she could go if she wanted to or not.
"I'm so free …"
Scratching her feet and scratching her belly, Red Ponytail rolled on the bed in boredom, then opened her personal terminal. She glanced at the information on it.
"Hmm …"
Red Ponytail's eyes flashed across the information on the [Tendo Temple]. She looked around, then opened a folder. With a light click, a hidden "study material" folder appeared on the originally blank screen. Red Ponytail reached out and opened the "study material" folder.
Soon, names appeared one by one.
"Choi, Itono, Xia Shi, Ilya, Blackie, Ying Lili, Asuna, Fiat, Little Flame, Gabeli, Megumi … Hmm, who should I see today?"
Just as Red Ponytail was worrying, suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Hearing this knock, Red Ponytail had no choice but to put away her personal terminal, then walked to the door and opened it.
However, standing outside the door was a red-haired girl with an explosive figure and a girl with short blue hair who didn't speak much.
"I was wondering who it was. So it's Churuk and Tabassa, looking for Louise? She went to the palace to attend the banquet. Aren't you going? "
"No, this, actually …"
Hearing Red Ponytail's question, Churuk seemed a little nervous. She looked at Red Ponytail and didn't know what to say. Although the two of them got along quite well before, Churuk only regarded Red Ponytail as an ordinary familiar at that time. Even if she said she was an oracle, Churuk didn't care too much about it.
But now, things were different. The red ponytail led the Torristine fleet to conquer the entire Albion in just two days. This was an achievement that Chuluk didn't even dare to imagine. Because of this, although the red ponytail still looked lazy, she was a little nervous and didn't know what to say.
"Huh? What's wrong? "
"Actually …"
Just as Churuk was hesitating whether he should say it or not, Tabassa suddenly stepped forward and knelt in front of Red Ponytail.
"I beg you, Sir Oracle, please save my mother."
"… Huh? What's going on? Is your mother hurt? "
Faced with Tabasa's sudden request, the red ponytail was somewhat puzzled. She didn't know much about Tabasa because the girl usually stayed by Chuluk's side and read books. She basically didn't do anything special. So Tabassa's sudden request surprised Red Ponytail.
"Yes …"
Tabassa only replied with one sentence, then lowered her head and said no more. She wasn't very good at expressing her thoughts, so she didn't know what to say now.
"Uh … Forget it, it doesn't matter. Where's your mother? I've got nothing to do anyway. I'll go see if I can help. "
"My mother, she …"
Tabassa began to hesitate again.
“？？？”
"That, Oracle."
At this time, Churuk finally couldn't help but speak.
"Her mother isn't in Torristine, but in Gaul …"
"Oh, I see."
Hearing Churuk's answer, Red Ponytail nodded. She finally understood why both of them were a little hesitant to speak. After all, Red Ponytail was not only Louise's familiar, but also Torristine's oracle. Gaul was another country. Although Gaul wasn't hostile to Torristine like Albion, it wasn't exactly on good terms either.
Under such circumstances, asking the oracle who was protecting Torristine to go to Gaul … No matter how you think about it, it was strange, wasn't it?
But Red Ponytail obviously didn't care about such a trivial matter.
"Gaul? You're going abroad? That might take some time. Let's go. "
"Huh?"
Hearing Red Ponytail's straightforward answer, both of them were taken aback.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to save someone? We can talk about the details when we get there. Let's go. "
The red ponytail stood up and stretched. She didn't care about the affairs of this world at all. The relations between countries and politics were all bullsh * t. She was an oracle. She could go wherever she wanted and do whatever she wanted. Why would she have so many concerns?
"But, but …"
Tabassa finally reacted and hurriedly followed behind Red Ponytail. But compared to her usual expressionless face, Tabassa now looked as timid as a little girl who didn't know how to talk to strangers.
"But it's very far away. Even my familiar will take a long time to get there …"
"It's not a big deal."
Walking out of the dormitory, Red Ponytail snapped her fingers. Soon, a bright red fighter appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of them.
"Let's go. We'll probably get there in half an hour. It's easy and fast, and you don't have to pay. Although it's a little cramped with three people, it'll still fit if you two sit together."
"Is this the mount of an oracle?"
Looking at the red fighter jet in front of her, Churuk couldn't hide her surprise and astonishment, but she still hurriedly climbed into the back seat with Tabasa. Then, the red ponytail controlled the fighter jet to take off and instantly disappeared into the dark night.
Under the night sky, the two moons shone brightly, illuminating the sea of clouds below. Tabasa and Churuk widened their eyes in astonishment. Although Tabasa's Tamed Monsters had the ability to fly, they had never flown so high in the sky.
"So the sky is like this …"
"Tabassa …"
"I know, Churuk."
Hearing his friend's reminder, Tabassa took a deep breath, then looked at Red Ponytail, who was piloting the fighter in front of him.
"Oracle."
"Hmm? What's the matter? Do you want to listen to music? I have Bach here … But it's easy to fall asleep at night. Why don't you play Qiqin? "
"No, about that, Sir Oracle, actually …"
Faced with Red Ponytail's unexpected words, Tabassa was a little confused for a moment.
"Actually, I'm not from this country."
"Oh."
Red Ponytail did not show any special reaction, but Churuk's eyes widened.
"Wait, that's it?"
"What's the problem? I'm not from here either. Go on. "
"… … Yes … …"
So, in the night sky, Tabassa confessed his life to Red Ponytail.
Tabassa was not her real name. In fact, Tabassa's name was Charlotte Reynold Orrea, and her father was the legitimate heir to the Kingdom of Gaul. However, her father was assassinated by her younger brother, and her younger brother ascended the throne. However, this wasn't the end. Although her father's younger brother ascended the throne, he still didn't let Tabasa and her mother go.
So, at a dinner party, the King of Gaul sent a glass of poisoned wine to Tabassa. To protect her daughter, Tabassa's mother snatched the glass of poisoned wine and drank it.
However, it was a glass of poisoned wine that could make people lose their minds. After that, Tabassa's mother seemed to have gone mad. She could not recognize her daughter at all.
Although Tabassa escaped because of this, she was also used as a sacrificial pawn after that. Although the heir to the throne was dead, Tabassa's father still had many supporters in the kingdom. If he pushed his father too hard, it might lead to internal chaos in the kingdom. So after that, the king added Tabassa to a secret special force and let her carry out those dangerous missions. After all, as long as she died on a mission, even those who opposed her would not be able to say anything.
And Tabasa had been enduring silently just like that, all for the sake of protecting his mother.
Until the appearance of the red ponytail.
In fact, after learning about the situation in other worlds from the red ponytail, Tabassa's heart began to waver. Although she couldn't cure her mother, maybe this familiar from a different world could?
After the red ponytail led the army to wipe out Albion overnight, this thought became more and more stimulating to Tabassa.
An emissary from a different world, a god.
He had prayed to the ancestors countless times, but to no avail.
So, could an emissary from a different world save his mother?
"I beg you, please save my mother …"
This was the only thing Tabassa could say when she came to the door.
"…"
The red ponytail did not say anything. She just stretched out her hand and pushed open the closed door. Soon, the red ponytail saw a woman with a haggard face sitting on a chair, holding a rag doll in her arms and muttering something to herself.
"Mother …"
Tabassa looked at the woman sitting on the chair and walked over to her in a low voice. However, when the woman saw Tabassa coming over, she raised her head and showed an angry expression.
"Go away! Go away! You lackeys! I won't let you hurt my daughter! "
As she spoke, the woman hugged the rag doll in her arms tightly. At the same time, she grabbed the cup next to her and threw it at Tabassa. The red ponytail reacted quickly and caught it.
"What do you want? I want to protect my daughter! I will never give her to you! "
The appearance of the red ponytail and Chuluk seemed to agitate the woman. She stood up, stared at the two angrily, and shouted. The red ponytail shrugged her shoulders and snapped her fingers. The next moment, the woman closed her eyes and fainted on the ground.
"Mother!"
"Don't worry, it's just to let her sleep soundly. Um … Put her on the bed and let me have a look. Um … Um?"
The red ponytail narrowed her eyes and released 'Examine' on the woman in front of her. Then …
"This is a debuff. It's simple."
"R-really?"
Tabassa's voice trembled slightly when he heard the red ponytail's words.
"Of course, it may be difficult for ordinary people, but I'm an Oracle. If I'm stumped by this, why should I be an Oracle? I might as well go home and sell tea eggs."
As she spoke, the red ponytail raised her hand.
"Cleanse!"
Soon, along with the red ponytail's words, the three of them saw a bright and dazzling white brilliance falling in a circle, enveloping the woman's body. Then, with a soft "bang", some unknown dark aura suddenly flashed on the woman's body, and then quickly disappeared.
"Okay, it's done."
The red ponytail clapped her hands. Tabassa stretched out his trembling hand and gently stroked the woman's face.
"Mother …?"
"…"
As if she heard Tabassa's call, the woman slowly opened her eyes and smiled at Tabassa.
"Charlotte …"
"Mother!"
At that moment, Tabassa could no longer hold it in. He rushed forward and hugged his mother tightly.
When Tabassa came out of the room and met the red ponytail again, it was already half an hour later.
"Tabassa, are you okay?"
Seeing his friend's red and swollen eyes from crying, Chuluk hurriedly asked. Tabassa nodded vigorously. Then, she came to the red ponytail and knelt down.
"Thank you for your help, Oracle."
"It's nothing. It's not a big deal. I'll help if I can."
For the red ponytail, this was the same as Old Lady Fu. If the other party thanked her, she would accept it. If the other party wanted to extort money from her, she would call a lawyer to serve her. Either way, it was no big deal.
"And you're also Louise's friends."
"…"
Although the red ponytail looked calm, Tabassa could not just thank her directly. All of this was a pain she had endured for so many years. Now, she and her mother had been freed from this pain, but it was not over yet …
"Oracle, I have another request."
"Huh? What request? "
"Tabassa?"
Both the red ponytail and Chuluk were stunned when they heard Tabassa's words. Chuluk looked at Tabassa worriedly and shook his head desperately. No matter what, in Chuluk's opinion, the fact that the Oracle was willing to relieve his mother of the pain that had been plaguing her for a long time was already a great benevolence. If Chuluk continued to push his luck, he might anger the Oracle!
But the red ponytail did not care at all. She just looked at Tabassa curiously to see what she wanted to say.
"I hope to become your follower, Oracle."
Under the gaze of the red ponytail, Tabassa said.
