Rolling smoke rushed out of the kitchen, and the black smoke from the ash continued to spread, and soon the door frame was stained with black marks.

Coughs and scolding came from the kitchen with smoke coming out of the kitchen, and the sound was very young, so it was not difficult to guess what was happening inside.

"The stove is burned with charcoal." The subtle and smooth words sounded from the door, causing Charles to stop his movements of wood. He looked back awkwardly. The girl was standing at the kitchen door at this time, and she was talking to herself just now.

However, after Charles's eyes turned, the girl's normal mood became nervous again: "I...I mean..."

"Thank you for your reminder, little Anne." Charles interrupted her stutter and rubbed her sleeves against her dirt cheeks. He thought he was kind and laughed, "Do you know where our coal is placed?"

Blinking his blue eyes, the girl's face looked a little strange and said in a low voice: "It's right at your hand, in the bag that is clasped by an iron basin."

"Hand..." He hesitantly looked at it. Although the one on hand was wrapped in a linen bag, its edges and corners clearly showed what was written inside.

Embarrassment flashed across Charles' face.

...

He barely heated yesterday's leftovers and made some meals. After cleaning up the dishes, Charles unknowingly put the issue of improving the living environment first.

This is inevitable regardless of the church's judgment.

"At least you can be a full-fledged devil, right?" He collapsed on the bed, the smell of thick smoke still seemed to linger on the tip of his nose, which made Charles very helpless.

He didn't want to do such trivial matters a second time, although this kind of daily life can ease the stiff relationship with the girl.

Therefore, it is necessary to "monetize" the keel as soon as possible.

Moreover, if you really have problems, it seems essential to leave a living expenses for the girl.

After all, I am now her guardian and the only person she knows in this world.

As pitiful as him.

Then...go to find Elliot?

Where to find it?

church?

Will the church ask me to go in and find someone? Can I find him if I ask? Will he buy it after finding him?

How can I determine the value of that keel?

The dusk light shone in from outside the window, and Charles lay on the bed and kept thinking. After a while, a special touch suddenly appeared in his mind, interrupting his meditation.

At the same time, a reminder suddenly floated in front of me:

【Shuttle door charging completed】

"The Eye of True Knowledge?" Charles was stunned.

Why did this thing suddenly appear again?

Isn't it difficult to use in reality?

Because of the so-called charging?

Shire couldn't wait to look at himself without thinking about this question.

A long message passed by:

【Your name: Charles Colanston】

【Your age: 16】

【Your health status: good】

【Skills you master: Eye of True Knowledge (Constant), Skeleton Resurrection (6/100%)】

【Shuttle door charging has been completed: 24.0.30.41】

...

The familiar "attribute bar" made Charles miss it very much, but unlike what he saw in the world behind the door, the time of the information displayed in the last period is increasing, not decreasing.

Seeing all this, Charles thought.

"That is, the longer I stay in reality, the longer I can stay after entering?"

"And this basic opening condition must be 24 hours?"

He looked outside and then recalled it. Shire found that the time now was indeed similar to the time he opened the door yesterday, so he couldn't help but be excited.

"This means I have twice as much time as everyone else!"

"But it seems that it is of no use for the biggest problem at present. If it is not synchronized, or the shuttle return position is different, it will be somewhat useful, at least for escape..."

Thinking of this, his hands didn't stop. He first pulled up the bedroom curtains, then put on his clothes. Thinking about the dangers of the world behind the shuttle door, he took out a dagger from under the pillow and inserted it around his waist.

"It's a pity that there is no gun, hey." He couldn't help but think of the flintlock rifle in the old housekeeper's hand last night, which was the mainstream gun of this era.

I could only fire one bullet. It was time-consuming to load the bullet, but it was better than nothing - unfortunately I was taken away by the police.

Everything was ready, and he took out a stack of manuscripts he hid under the bed, took a few glances, and then put them in the pocket.

Although the church ruling has not been completely completed, I think there will be no major accidents. However, if Charles is discovered to be studying black magic during the period, the results will be difficult to say.

So this stack of things must be cleaned up.

"But the church seems to be unable to detect whether I have practiced black magic in detail..." This thought flashed through thoughtfully, and Charles quietly suppressed this idea in his heart.

Then he held his breath and recalled carefully how he felt when he summoned the shuttle door for the first time. Without much attempt, his brain buzzed and saw the air around him suddenly stagnant, and then a bronze door gradually appeared in front of him.

Unlike last time, Charles was not in a hurry this time, so he looked at the relief on the door several times, but unfortunately he didn't see anything.

“Will the world behind the door be what was expected?”

With this question in mind, he pushed open the door and stepped into the clear water-like light curtain.

Then - darkness came in an instant.

Unlike the sky in front of the door, the world behind the door is in the dark night. At the foot of the door is a hilly slope, a stinking ditch winds downwards, and light shines under the cold moonlight.

"That's right, so it's not too difficult for you to get your laptop back."

A low and heavy voice sounded from beside him, making Charles look dazed. He turned his head to look at the city below, a sloppy brown-haired middle-aged man looked deep in his eyes.

[Ed Stark, Duke of North, your lame ally when you escaped from prison; a middle-aged man who seems to be worried]

A line of information floated by.

"Long time no see, Ed." He said hello as if he had been in the next life.

"What?"

A trace of confusion flashed across the middle-aged man's face under the moonlight. He turned to look at Charles, but his pupils suddenly shrank, opened his mouth, and asked in surprise: "When did you... change your clothes?"

"This is of course my spell." Charles answered seriously, and then said without waiting for him to continue asking, "How should we go now?"

But after a day, Charles was still very clear about what he did here-they had just escaped from a castle.

"You have to think about it and be sure to be with me?" Ed said quite honestly: "To be honest, this is very dangerous."

His words made Charles a little speechless: "I'm curious if I say I don't go with you, how can you, a cripple, find that Yuren? You'll probably be discovered after walking a few steps."

"I don't know," Ed shook his head and said, "But since I have escaped from Red Fort, I must make it clear to you. King Landing City has many people, unlike inside Red Fort, it is easy for you to hide your identity and get out of the city, but I am just the opposite. You are not my vassal, so there is no need to take risks with me."

"Okay, tell the truth," Shire sighed, "Then I'll tell you the truth. I'm not familiar with this place at all. I don't know anyone here, nor do I know what the streets under my feet are called, nor do I know where to go in the future. So even if I get rid of you, I have to find someone else to help me. Instead of finding a stranger, it's better to stay with you."

Seeing Ed thinking, he added jokingly: "At least, idiots like you can reassure people."

Upon hearing this, Ed couldn't help but feel helpless: "Maybe you should try to respect the old man."

"Come on, you just look older, what about your actual age? Not over 40 years old, right?"

“35.”

"So what old man is that?"

"At least your father is still old enough." Ed said: "Sometimes I think you are from a noble family, but you really don't know what politeness is."

At first, this sounded harsh, but Charles heard that there was no malice in his words, so he laughed: "So, don't object to the fact that peers are talking about friendship, right?"

"You are not from the Seven Kingdoms, so your identity is not beyond etiquette, but my son Robb is older than you!"

"It's good to have a nephew who is older than me."

"It's up to you." The old dire wolf sighed.

...

The two of them did not continue to argue after that, but under Ed's command, they moved in a certain direction in the King's Landing City.

Turn left and right, shuttled through the alley streets that crossed everywhere, and they finally came outside a house.

"When I was the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Yulun told me that his temporary residence should be here. I hope I remember correctly."

Under the moonlight, Ed, who was put down, muttered to himself, then was supported to walk to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"who?"

"An old friend from the north."

The sound fell and footsteps came faintly. Not long after, a half-old man with a beard opened the door from the room.
