Chapter 42 The Red Rope
"Why did you buy so many sundries?"

Alicia was wearing her pajamas, carefully looking through the ingredients placed on the table, eggplant, beef, and there is no refrigerator in this era, so it is best to buy it on the same day and eat it on the same day. There are not many things to buy.

So food only accounts for a part, and most of them are materials bought by Shaar.

"That's what the flying boots are made of," Arthur explained.

"Thousand-mile flying boots?" Alicia frowned, "What is that?"

"Wearing him, you can span five kilometers in one step."

Shaar came down from the stairs, carrying a large iron bucket in his hand, which also contained some materials, and the flying boots of thousands of miles were also magic props that appeared in the novel.

Hal made thousands of pairs of these things for the royal family, and the difficulty of making them is not high.

"Why do you do this?" Alicia asked.

Her expression was not surprised.

Compared to the gate that spanned thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye, this kind of boots that spanned several kilometers was no longer worth mentioning to her.

"We just met the Witch of the Wild!" Arthur said.

Alicia's pupils shrank slightly, "Wild Witch? In Eagle Point?"

"Yes." Char murmured softly, "This, where Calcifer's body is located."

"Didn't you use a lot of magic props to cover it?" Alicia frowned and asked, "I didn't touch anything in your room, why did she find this place?"

Xia looked up at her, "From the moment you came to this castle, the location of this castle has actually been exposed."

Alicia opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it. What the Witch of the Wilderness said to her before appeared in her mind.

"Tell Char, I will definitely find him."

She actually had some doubts before, why the wilderness witch came to her for no reason.

But now, it seems that everything can be answered.

Turns out he was a bait.
A decoy for her to pinpoint Char's location.

But how could she be sure that she would definitely find Xia?

Alicia's mood is very chaotic, and at this moment, there is a more important thing.

She subconsciously grabbed the hem of her clothes, bit her lip, and looked up at Shaar.

"You, you know everything?"

Shaar nodded, "I can't fail to see the curse on you. In this world, only wilderness witches can have this kind of curse."

"anything else?"

Alicia looked at him, pursed her lips, her face was burning hot, her eyes were filled with tears, and her mind kept echoing her serious appearance of pretending to be an old man in the past few days.

All Xiaya's eyes and reactions in his memory seemed to have turned into mockery at this moment.

"What else?" Shaar tilted his head in doubt.

Alicia fell silent, and after a while, she let out a long breath.

"It's nothing."

"What? Alicia, are you cursed?"

Yaer obviously didn't notice the weird atmosphere between the two at the moment, but asked anxiously.

"What curse are you on?"

"I'm in."

Alicia opened her mouth, wanting to tell the content of the curse, but an external force directly sealed her mouth, no matter how hard she tried to speak, she couldn't say a word.

"She can't reveal anything about the curse." Xiaya said, "This is also part of the curse."

"What a hateful guy!" Arthur clenched his fists, filled with righteous indignation, "He really is a big villain, and she bullies such a good person as Alicia!"

He looked at Xia, "Xia, you must teach her a lesson!"

"If he can teach her a lesson, he won't keep hiding."

Alicia stopped trying to talk about the curse and sat down in a chair in front of a fire.

"It's not impossible, but not now." Shaar said calmly.

"So, you made these shoes to run?" Alicia said.

"It's moving." Xia Ya said, "There are three of us, but there are only two rooms. The house is too small. We need to change to a bigger house."

"Where are you going?" Alicia asked.

"I'm not sure yet, so I'm going to look for it and find out where the rest of the entrances are."

Xia looked at Arthur and Alicia, and smiled.

"What kind of place do you like to live in?"

Alicia and Arthur looked at each other, and then Alicia continued.

"We seem to be discussing the Witch of the Wilderness."

"We're just discussing the matter of the Witch of the Wilderness." Shaar said seriously, "Calcifer's position has been exposed, so I have to transfer it too, don't I?"

"If you don't mention the conditions, then I will choose myself." Shaar laughed.

Alicia was silent for a while, and said, "I want to go to a place with the sea."

Shaar nodded, "It sounds easy to find."

He hasn't seen the peninsula sent by the Emperor of Moria yet, so it should be a good place.

He looked at Arthur, "What about you?"

Arthur thought for a while, and then said excitedly, "I want to go to a place with grasslands. I have been in the imperial capital since I was a child, and I have never seen plains before."

"It's okay, it's not difficult." Shaar said after thinking, "I'm still planning to buy a restaurant, but I don't know what to open. How about the restaurant?"

"It's too tiring." Alicia said, "If you open a restaurant, you have to get up at four or five in the morning to prepare ingredients, unless you hire someone to do it."

Shaar nodded, "Forget it, let's talk about it after moving."

Then, he looked at Alicia, took out the same red string that he had given to Mrs. Foster before, and handed it to her.

"This is for you. There is a magic spell on it. Wearing it will make you feel better and you won't get sick again."

But Alicia didn't take the red rope, and Xia looked up at her with some doubts.

She was staring at the red rope in Shaar's hand in a daze, without words.

"What's wrong?" Shaya asked.

She raised her head and looked at Xia, her eyes shone with an unknown brilliance, "I remember, you are from the East, right?"

Shaar nodded.

"Then do you know what the meaning of giving away the red rope is?" Alicia asked.

"Health, safety and everything goes well," Xia Ya said, and he asked with some doubts, "Is there anything else?"

"No, you're right."

Alicia took the red rope from Xiaya's hand.

Her mother is an oriental, and Alicia heard her say a lot about the orient, such as red, which is a very important color for orientals.

In oriental legends, there is a god in charge of marriage, who uses a red rope to lead the marriage of men and women, so it also has the meaning of love.

Of course, Alicia knew that Xiaya didn't mean that.

She put the red rope on her right hand, and the small bell hanging on it made a crisp sound. She could clearly feel that her sore body became much more relaxed, and even her breathing became smoother.
The spell on this little thing is very useful. She turned her arm over and deliberately let the bell make a sound. She looked at the red rope, and for some reason, there was an imperceptible arc on the corner of her mouth, and she looked very happy.

Arthur stared at Alicia, and said suddenly.

"Alicia, you seem to be getting younger."

Alicia raised her eyebrows, "Really?"

Arthur nodded seriously.

"It seems that this thing is really useful." Alicia said, looking at the rope ring.

"Then today's lunch will be left to you." Xia Ya said, "I still have to hurry up and make the boots."

Alicia knew that the current situation was a bit urgent, so she didn't say much. For her, cooking was a very pleasant thing.

Shaar sat on the workbench on one side and began to use those materials to make the thousand-mile flying boots.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door on one side.

With the sudden knock on the door, except for the sound of Shaar's head buried in making props, the entire first floor was much quieter.

After learning that the Witch of the Wilderness had arrived here, Alicia and Arthur were a little nervous, except for Shaar, a heartless guy.

But then, Calcifer spoke.

"Go and open the door. If it's really a Witch of the Wilderness, I will warn you. Don't worry, she can't come in."

Arthur walked down slowly, and opened the door.

There were two people standing behind the door, a man and a woman. The woman was naturally the Mrs. Foster they had seen before, while the man was wearing overalls. He was slightly fat, tall, with a round face and an unshaven beard. But it's very pleasing to the eye, very honest.

"Mr. Foster, Mrs. Foster." Alicia recognized the two and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

Mr. Foster smiled and lifted a big fish in his hand, while Mrs. Foster spoke aside.

"We're here to deliver fish."

Alicia nodded, thinking that Shaar should have made a reservation with them, so she asked.

"How much is it, I'll give it to you."

"No, no, no." Foster smiled honestly, "I heard from Irene that you are sick, and this fish is specially given to you to supplement your nutrition."

Erin was supposed to be Mrs. Foster's name.

"And your rewards have already been paid." Mrs. Foster said with a smile.

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and as the bell rang softly, Alicia saw the same red rope hanging on her hand, which was exactly the same as hers.

Her eyes also froze
