This elf knight gathering was quite fruitful for Carlotta, as she got to know many beautiful ladies and young women.
Of course, she wouldn't assume that these ladies would help her with anything and everything.
For instance, if she were to oppose Soren, these ladies would surely have reservations and likely wouldn't assist her.
However, setting aside such matters of opposing nobles, it should be no problem to seek their help for other minor issues.
The elf knight gathering lasted until dusk, after which the many ladies and young women departed, each boarding their own carriages and leaving.
Carlotta and Amelia also headed back to Caerwyn Academy together.
Originally, Carlotta thought Camella would join them on the way back, given that, according to intelligence, Camella was Amelia's little admirer.
But Camella didn't accompany them. Instead, she seemed distracted and left alone in her carriage, which surprised Carlotta a bit.
...
By the time they returned to the academy, the dusk had completely taken over the sky, like a master artist's oil painting spread overhead.
After bidding farewell to Amelia, Carlotta returned to her dorm.
Closing the door and turning on the alchemical lamp, Carlotta reflected on the day's experiences.
This elf knight gathering wasn't without its benefits for her. Although the others couldn't offer her any advice on Elven Knight Path, in order to solve everyone's problems, she had looked up a lot of related information and pondered over it, gaining some insights.
She summoned the Rose Cross from her necklace, and as the sword enlarged, she immediately gripped it and began to swing it.
Elven Butterfly Dance, Elven Phantom Sound, and... Elven Light!
At a certain moment while swinging the sword, Carlotta seemed to grasp something, and her sword suddenly burst with a dazzling light under the surge of magic, like the first light of dawn, capable of tearing through all darkness, propelling the sword forward with explosive speed.
Success!
With one successful strike, Carlotta couldn't help but show her delight. She had actually mastered Elven Light.
At the same time, she felt a surge of magic within her, realizing that her rank had advanced to the third tier apprentice.
"Within less than a month of enrollment, I've gone from an ordinary person to a Transcendent, and now to the level of a third-level apprentice. Even those born into noble families might not progress as fast as I have."
Carlotta was quite satisfied with her achievements.
She then enthusiastically continued practicing her Elven Knight Path, moving around her dorm until night completely enveloped the city.
...
The next day.
Carlotta still woke up early, as going to bed and rising early was a habit of hers, believing it was the only way to ensure she had enough energy throughout the day.
After getting up, her routine was to check today's intelligence.
[ 1: Carlotta White's performance at the elf knight gathering was outstanding. The ladies and young women who participated later spread the information, making more people aware of Carlotta's existence. As for Carlotta, everyone expressed mixed admiration with a bit of regret.]
Carlotta's expression was subtle; she wondered what expressions these ladies would have when she continuously advanced her Elven Knight Path without hitting any bottlenecks.
As for now, let them feel regret.
Carlotta also belatedly understood a widely circulated saying from her past life: "A tree that stands out in the forest will be toppled by the wind."
Her extraordinary understanding of Elven Knight Path had inevitably drawn attention. Fortunately, everyone now thinks she had gone astray, with a foreseeable bleak future, and could only feel regret.
She must not be too high-profile in the future.
[ 2: Camella Ackerman truly didn't expect Carlotta White to be such an outstanding person. Although she didn't want to admit it, deep down she was somewhat in awe of Carlotta. Perhaps Carlotta herself didn't realize how striking her performance at the elf knight gathering was, but Camella, who watched it up close throughout, was truly greatly impacted.]
The second piece of intelligence made Carlotta chuckle. That person who had challenged her to a duel before was now starting to admire her?
This little admirer of Amelia's, wouldn't she become her own little admirer because of this elf knight gathering? That would be interesting.
[ 3: Clorinde Austin is very dissatisfied with her husband Cameron Austin's recent performance and is contacting various alchemists, hoping to concoct some alchemical drugs to restore Cameron's vigor. However, she doesn't know that Cameron's lack of vigor isn't due to physical issues but rather his affair with his assistant Lynn Marshall, to whom he has given all his body liquid.]
Carlotta gasped upon reading this intelligence, recalling the somewhat impatient lady she had met yesterday.
Although this lady was a bit too plump, she wasn't unattractive and could still be considered beautiful. With such a wife, how could Mr. Cameron still have an affair?
Carlotta didn't expect to come across such information; it was hard to say whether this intelligence would be useful.
If she were to reveal this to Lady Clorinde, she might gain her gratitude, but the question was, how would she explain how she knew about it?
Carlotta shook her head and decided to leave this intelligence alone for now.
[ 4: Euniel Houston is very grateful for Carlotta White's help and plans to promote the White Breakthrough Method. This move might bring Carlotta unpredictable feedback in the future.]
Carlotta pondered over this.
At the elf knight gathering, many ladies and young women highly praised this method of breaking through bottlenecks, with some even suggesting it should be recorded in textbooks. It seemed they weren't just paying lip service.
This also makes Carlotta somewhat expectant.
[ 5: The ice cream at Fountain Street will be 25% off for the next three days. Don't miss this opportunity.]
Carlotta: "..."
Why wasn't there a discount yesterday when she and Amelia went to buy ice cream? Such bad timing.
[ 6: Bram Vortiger and others have been released early. Their detention was an act of anger by a few security officers and couldn't be prolonged.
The released Bram and others are also very angry, feeling that they can't waste any more time in Kestholm. The money their boss had hidden is nowhere to be found, and they can't keep waiting.
They plan to head to the Sun Moon Federation. But before that, they want to take revenge on Carlotta White, so they've checked into a hotel not far from Caerwyn Academy, taking turns to keep watch day and night, just waiting for the next time Carlotta goes out to collectively vent their hatred.]
