I'm not a loser in love from Dimensional Adventurer

————————————————————————————————————

As the carriage began to slow down and the noise behind it stopped, they realized they were finally free of the annoying guards.

Following the old path, Alice and her party returned to the Thieves Guild in the Lower City. When the door of the guild opened, everyone slowed down.Arriving at the guild means they are safe, and that group of stupid soldiers are incapable of finding this place.

Vician was pushed to the room by Alice. He accepted the care from the girl in confusion. When he stumbled and was thrown onto the bed, he realized that the other party had already slipped out and closed the door.

"What's wrong with her?"

To be fair, if the person who was arguing on the carriage just now suddenly treats me so well, I'm afraid no one will adapt.Vician was still holding the pillow that Alice had stuffed in his arms, the one taken from his bed.

Wei Xi'an sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about what happened. It might be that the injuries on his body were interfering with his thinking, or it might be that his body was complaining about fatigue.Wei Xi'an thought about his schedule tomorrow morning. He found that he really didn't have the energy to find the answer, so he could only fall on the bed and let the entanglement bother him.

The reason for Alice's abnormal behavior was entirely because she couldn't wait to hear Caschia's story about Vician and his past. After putting one of the parties involved in the bedroom, the girl rushed to Caschia's place. lounge.

By chance, Caschia had just fetched the tea set from the kitchen, and he arrived at the lounge with Alice at the same time, carrying tea and snacks.He arranged the tea set and placed the snacks in front of Alice, and then the two sat down around the round table.

Caschia tells Alice a long story, a story about a tyrant and a strategist, full of war and betrayal.The story ended with the strategist killing his own king, and Alice fell silent. This story was too heavy for her.

"He didn't want anyone else to know, so I didn't tell anyone else."

"But you told me."

"You are special and our future rests on your shoulders, his atonement, mine."

Caschia dropped a bombshell on Alice all at once.

"Alice, our mission is to help you prevent all disasters that will happen. This is the only reason why we are still alive."

It doesn't matter if Alice drinks from the tea cup, nor does it matter if she doesn't drink.What Caschia told her was a bit unbearable. How could he, who thought he was just an ordinary magician, suddenly become the savior?

"Did you make a mistake?" she asked Caschia repeatedly, and each time the other party said that his statement was correct and that Alice was the person they were looking for.

Although Alice does yearn for heroic epics, becoming that hero is not something she can just talk about.

"what should I do?"

Yes, what else can she do?When the world's crisis is placed in front of her, and she is the only one who can stop it all, she is stuck at a fork in the road, one side is acceptance, the other side is escape.

If the scenes Caschia showed him were true, then he would have only one choice.

"I will do it if it saves Nirnati."

"By the way, can we not tell him what we are talking about now?"

Caschia was referring to Vician, who was begging Alice.

"Why? If you tell him, won't he feel more relaxed?"

"No, only if he can say it himself, then the knot in his heart will open on his own."

The past has been haunting him and Visian like a ghost, and he had let it go a long time ago, but only Visian could not forget the past. He kept silent about his identity and fled his hometown because he was afraid You will make the same mistakes again.

"Please, help me bring him back."

Caschia stood up from his seat and bent deeply. People who knew him could hardly imagine that he was now begging Alice for help.

"I...Okay, I promise you."

"Whether it's Vishian or Nirnati, I will save them."

Alice made the biggest decision in her life, which started with a conversation about the past. She unexpectedly learned about the mission she had to shoulder, and the days ahead would not be peaceful after all.

Chapter 14: Conversation with the King

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. After listening to Caschia's story and the request entrusted to him, Alice was completely unable to separate her thoughts from these two things.

She stood by the window, looking at the darkening sky outside the window. Most of the members of the Thieves Guild had fallen asleep, and the underground stronghold fell into silence.

Alice lit the candle on the small table, and by the light of the fire, she spread out the letter paper and planned to write something.She had promised to send a letter to Kefir as soon as she arrived in the imperial capital, but she could not write the letter that had been postponed due to various things.

What to write about?Are you writing about your recent experiences, or about the responsibilities you will bear in the future?

She added a few lines of words on the letter paper, and then she scratched out these words a moment later; in the end, the letter paper was completely burned by her candlelight.Alice stared at the flames as they slowly devoured the entire letter. She hoped that the candlelight could burn away her thoughts.

But what's the use of being anxious? It's better to nourish your spirit and prepare for the arrival of a new day.

"Aha……"

A tired yawn came from the girl's mouth. Alice slept too late. The result of waking up early this morning was that her whole body was still in chaos.She rubbed her eyes and walked out of the bedroom, staggering all the way to the hall. Her tired look was in stark contrast to the energetic thieves.

Alice sat down with her hands on the chair. She was now in the kitchen, and the aroma of the dishes cooked by the cooks brought her back to reality.She relied on her appearance to successfully get an early breakfast from the cook, and the golden-fried dough was crunching as she chewed it.In fact, eating fried food early in the morning is not good for the body, but Alice doesn't care. The energy brought by this high-calorie meal allows her brain to return to work.As if the gears controlling her thoughts were oiled, Alice's consciousness gradually became clearer.

"thanks for treatment!"

Alice said obediently after returning the plate to the cook. Her charming look made the cook put her hand on her head and rub it well.

After bidding farewell to the generous cook, Alice walked towards Vician's office.Weisian was still sitting behind the long wooden table as usual. Most of the documents on his left hand side had been moved to the right side. It seemed that his paperwork review work was nearing completion.

Alice was not in a hurry to disturb him. She went to the table and quietly picked up the pile of documents on the left, intending to see what the Thieves Guild's documents contained.

What about the "Twelfth Street Tax Report in the Lower City" or the "Discussion on First Aid Measures for the Plague"? She suddenly realized that there was nothing wrong with the Thieves Guild Pergaard changing its name to the People's Assembly.

Alice could not read these documents completely. The dense data and words made her head hurt. She chose to leave all these things to the president of this guild.

Vician spent a lot of time on the pile of documents. After everyone had eaten breakfast and Caschia and Alice visited his office again, he rubbed his sore wrists and let out a heavy sigh. A breather ends the work.

"Good morning."

Wei Xi'an fell into the seat like a salted fish. He raised his hand with difficulty to say hello to his two companions.Caschia put down Vician's breakfast, and then sat around the table like Alice.

With the sound of Vishian's chewing in the background, they got down to business - talking to the king.

"How on earth do you know so many secret passages!?"

Alice couldn't help but sigh after hearing Vician's method of sneaking into the palace.Although Caschia just revealed Vician's true identity last night, she still couldn't help but say such words.

"Hmm... Well, because I'm good at discovering secrets?"

Wei Xi'an's mouth was still stuffed with food, and he answered vaguely.

"are you kidding me."

Alice did not speak this time, but conveyed this message to the other party with her expression and eyes.Weisian swallowed the food, took a few sips of tea and continued: "Anyway, don't pay too much attention to the details. Just know that we can reach the king smoothly."

And when they walked out of the secret passage and found themselves standing in the garden of the palace, Alice showed a look of understanding.Caschia told her something quietly, without telling Vician of course.

Alice learned that Visian once occupied the imperial capital, so it would not be so unacceptable to let someone who had once occupied the city lead the way, knowing that he knew some shortcuts.

At the same time, Alice had been observing Vician's expression from the beginning, and the boy's momentary wavering when he first stepped into the garden did not escape her eyes.As Caschia said, Vician was apologetic for the tragedy he had caused. In addition, he also had a subconscious avoidance mentality.Alice didn't know exactly what his mood was for coming to talk to the king, but he did bring us with him.

Vician didn't run away from either of them, which was a good start.

The three of them climbed the stairs hidden in the bell tower and went all the way up to the floor where the king lived. This time they did not knock down the guards to clear the way like they did in the Earl's Palace.Vician groped for a moment on the wall. After he pressed a mechanism, the wall rose and they ran in.

The wall returned to its original shape, but the king was not in the room behind the wall.

"When the king's meeting is over, he will return to this room, and I will go and talk to him then. Understood?"

Visian said this, those of them who do not have the right to live in the palace can only hide in the king's room until the king comes out of the meeting room before they can continue to act.

The progress of the king's meeting did not look promising. He returned to the room nearly an hour later than Caschia had expected.When the old king opened the door, he found that he was not greeted by his family but by three intruders.

He unexpectedly did not call out to the guards.The king glanced at Vishian and waved him to the next room.Visian obviously did not expect this situation to happen. He shrugged and went to the next door with the king.

————————————————————————————————————

"I already understand what you want to do. Tell me, how much will it cost you to return the jade?"

This was the first thing the old king said when he entered the room. Visian, who was following him, was stunned for a moment, and then showed a wry smile.

"The count got the better of him."

Visian originally thought that he could come here before the earl reported the situation, so as to give the king a show of strength, but who knew that the earl would make a move.But he was not in a hurry, because what he was going to say next was more valuable than a mere piece of jade.

Visian didn't say anything. He walked around the king and sat in the armchair. He adjusted a position that made him feel comfortable. He raised his head and said slowly and word by word: "Odes, this time I will I didn’t come here because of Kongzhi Baoyu.”

The king known as Odes looked at the young man on the seat in shock. The young man's tone did not sound like he was joking, but he spoke in a confident tone.

Visian looked at the old man's expression with satisfaction. His first move was considered correct. Odes was not the king's name, but his nickname. When a person says a name that he should not know, The impact it brought was astonishing.

"I don't know where you heard my name from, but please return the treasure jade before I put you in prison."

The king of the imperial capital, Aldric, showed the aura that a ruler should have, and the hostility mixed in his words was attacking Vician.

"Odes, Odes. Don't you see what has become of the town you took back from me?"

"Shut up, you idiot..."

"No wonder Miss Aaron wants to leave you, Odes. I still remember what the lady said when she stood in front of me."

"'He will be a king who is better than you, you tyrant, you murderer!', haha, how ridiculous, you were called a wise king at that time, who knew you would be now..."

Visian stood up from his chair, walked a few steps and stopped three steps away from King Li.

"Are you turning a blind eye to the fact that your own people are being oppressed and killed?"

"Oh, by the way, how about the gift I left for you? It must be troublesome to pray every three years, right?"

After saying these words, Wei Xi'an said nothing more.Everything he said were facts that only he and the king knew, including what Miss Aaron had said angrily to him before, including the things he left behind in the imperial capital.

Visian waited for the king's reply, and the poor old man changed from anger to confusion, and then from confusion to horror as he spoke.Presumably everything on the battlefield is still imprinted on his body, tearing at his invisible wounds, and the same is true for Visian.

He never wanted to defend himself, nor did he deny his past crimes. He felt suffocated by retelling the crimes he had committed, but now, he needed to use them to achieve his and his companions' goals.

King Aldric stood there, letting the cold sweat soak his lining. His past memories flooded into his eyes, and the tyrant's face overlapped with that of the young man in front of him.

"Lancas!!"

This sentence came out from the king's clenched teeth. Vishian stood opposite him and just narrowed his eyes after hearing this.But in Aldric's eyes, his appearance already overlapped with that of a certain tyrant from the past.

Aldrick felt as if he was back on the battlefield where corpses were strewn and filled with shouts and cries, and the enemy who should have died long ago was standing right across from him.

Chapter 15: Conversation with the King

Meeting a mortal enemy again is definitely not an easy thing. They may pull out their swords on the spot, swipe the blade across the opponent's neck, curse the opponent's name, and dye the silver-white blade red. It’s definitely not sitting on two chairs staring at each other.

King Aldric was pushed onto the chair. After watching his face twisted with anger for a moment, the young man let out a meaningless sneer, then walked to him and pressed his shoulders hard and said: "Why don't we sit down and talk about it?"
