Chapter 237 The so-called discussion
The past events between Feier and Carlos ended here.
Feier did not spend more time retelling his subsequent story, because everyone present knew the outcome of that incident: he found Carlos, but was defeated by him.His sword fell into the bottom of the sea, and he was thrown into the prison under the castle.
Until Alice suddenly broke into the castle and freed Feier from the cage this time.
And as for the end?That is, they brought Carlos and Eva back to the camp together...
On the other side, after listening to the story told by Feier, the time for a "pleasant" discussion came.However, it was time for discussion, but this group of people actually had nothing to discuss. The discussion went on and on, and the topic was nothing more than: "Eva, Carlos and Gems".
"To sum up, Eva is a soulless... uh, automatic doll? That's right, right?" Wei Xi'an absentmindedly played with the coins in his hand, frowning as he spoke.
"She is not a human being, at least not in the category of human beings. There should be no magic to bring people back to life..."
After saying this, Wei Xi'an closed his mouth, and Alice, who was listening on the side, was keenly aware of his entanglement.
Alice knew what he was struggling with, identity, reputation and everything that had been abandoned. "Is he a person named Vician, or is he Lancas?" Alice was also asking herself this.
The answer was Visian. She was not a person who lived in that period. She only knew Visian as her companion.
"My mentor also said this, no matter what, Eva is not the 'Eva' that Carlos said." Alice nodded deeply and gave her own thoughts: "If I guessed correctly, She should be a product of magic. The gem in Carlos’ hand is probably also a product of magic!”
What she said sounded very credible.
Roy thought for a while, and then said helplessly: "But we still have to take Eva to the Central Empire, and the deadline is tomorrow... This is really, a bit difficult to handle."
In fact, this was also the reason why Roy found Vician and the others. After learning that Eva did not have the so-called power to "fulfill wishes", he didn't know whether he should report everything that happened to the king.
What was he going to tell the king?Should he say: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the King! This lady has absolutely no ability to fulfill wishes. What can fulfill wishes are seven gems, and the gems are now hidden by Carlos!"?
This will definitely result in being executed by the king on the spot in the audience hall. It will definitely...
"So we need to find Carlos' gem, and then determine its danger level, and finally bring it back to the empire..., well, return it to the empire with Eva." Caschia concluded.
Everyone began to have a headache after hearing this. Caschia said it was simple, but it was much more difficult to do this.First they had to talk to Carlos, and from Vician's words they learned that Carlos was simply unreasonable when it came to conversation.
It's basically the same difficulty as talking to Henry XII, they both insist on their opinions, and they both look down on people.
"Carlos, how about I give it a try?" Feier volunteered and took the hot soldering iron.There was an inexplicable twinkle in his eyes, and he looked as if he was about to go into battle.
Roy agreed to Fair's request and said he would look forward to the other party's harvest.
"So about Miss Eva...well, I'll leave her to your care for the time being." Roy scratched his messy hair and said to Alice with a helpless expression.
Alice smiled and waved her hand not to care.She also has Evelei helping her take care of Eva. After thinking about it, there shouldn't be any big problems.
The brief discussion ended here. After all, there was really nothing to discuss. Even if we really wanted to discuss it, we would have to wait until Carlos revealed the whereabouts of the gems.
After confirming this, everyone dispersed and returned to their temporary residences.After walking out of the tent, the conversation between Alice and her party did not end there. They had more important things to talk about.
"I guess the gem we came into contact with in the underwater maze is one of these seven gems." Caschia guessed. He carefully recalled the feeling that the gem brought to him while continuing to discuss with his companions. Said: "It would be great if I could see them. Maybe I can find clues to go back."
go back?As soon as they caught the word, Alice and Vician immediately ran back to Caschia. They nervously asked Caschia if he was sure about this.
Caschia couldn't answer immediately. He hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Probably, probably..."
"We are here because of my ability, so if I encounter the same thing..., do you think my ability will be activated again?" Alice was thinking, and she was also recalling the appearance of the oval gem.
They talked about it until dark, during which time they came to an agreement. "No matter what, we have to touch Carlos's gem!", this was their final opinion.
And when the three of them finished chatting and were about to take a rest, the effective time of the potion that Visian used on the prisoners happened to have passed.Although there was a distance, they all heard the angry shouts of the prisoners.
The corner of Wei Xi'an's mouth twitched. After saying hello to Alice and the others, he rushed directly into the forest. "I'll just spend the night outside today. Goodbye!" Visian said.
Now that he was sleeping outside, Caschia had an entire tent to himself, and he had no complaints about it, and was even a little happy about it.
He couldn't sleep with Vician next to him, and he didn't know why.
"Then I'll go back to the tent quickly. Sister Everly is still waiting for me." Alice shrank her neck and ran away quickly.Not two seconds after she left, Caschia also evacuated with her.
That night, the prisoners could not find any trace of Visian, and they did not have the courage to go to the forest in the middle of the night to seek death, so Visian spent a relatively quiet night.
But this night was difficult for Alice. Eva was a girl and she couldn't live in Roy's tent or any other tent.Roy reassigned the residences to the three women Alice, Everly and Eva yesterday.Now they have moved to a corner of the camp, which is quiet and next to a creek. Alice is quite satisfied with this.
But this satisfaction only lasted until she fell asleep.

Chapter 238 Abnormal Gem
Not many people can sleep peacefully under the gaze of others, right?
Not to mention how creepy it is to be stared at all night, just because the other person you are with is sleeping soundly on the pillow, while you are playing a staring game with a pair of big green eyes.
Both mentally and physically, I was very tired.
Alice is in such a state now. Looking to the left, she sees Ms. Everly sleeping extremely peacefully; looking to the right, she is looking at her, Eva.
It would be fine if Eva's posture was normal, but she was lying on her back, facing the roof of the tent, but her big eyes were tilted in her direction.Alice used the flickering light outside to see that Eva's eyeballs were covered with dense red bloodshot eyes.
Horrible, terrible!If you watch it for a few more seconds, you will have nightmares!
Alice pulled the thin quilt over her head, trying to block Eva's "hot" sight.
But this was of no use. Eva's gaze pierced the quilt directly. Alice guessed that she could feel the other person's gaze even if she had an iron helmet on her face.
This feeling was terrible. Alice rolled around in the quilt for a long time, then she suddenly opened the quilt and walked out of the tent without looking back.
Like Vician, she eventually chose to sleep in the wild.She stepped into the forest and found Visian dozing on a branch under the sparse moonlight.
"His! His! Vician! Hey!" Alice knocked on the trunk under the tree, while the tree called out to the people on the tree.
Wei Xi'an woke up in a daze. He yawned sleepily and looked under the tree.Alice just stood there, looking depressed.
"Haha! What's the matter, don't you go to sleep in the tent?" Visian didn't seem to have the intention to come down from the tree. As he spoke, he adjusted his posture to prevent himself from falling from the tree. Go down: "What are you doing here? Do you want to drink the northwest wind with me?"
"I can't sleep! Eva keeps, keeps staring at me!" Alice complained: "Her eyes are like wolf eyes at night!"
"Really, really... Then why don't you just go to Caschia? He's alone." After saying that, Visian's head lowered again, and within half a minute, a slight snoring started. came from his side.
Well done, Vishian fell asleep in front of her.
Alice stood under the tree and stamped her feet resentfully. Then she thought for a moment and found that Vician's proposal was not that bad.
"He should let me stay for one night!" Alice thought, and trotted to Caschia's tent.
As expected, Caschia didn't drive her away. In fact, it didn't matter who his "roommate" was, as long as it wasn't Vician...
Yes, as long as it's not him.
Oddly enough, Caschia had never experienced what it was like to "hallucinate" before, until he met "Vian Travis" on a ferry heading to Xios. Kendrick".
The hallucination of holding a short dagger and piercing the opponent's heart has troubled him ever since. Although it is not very frequent, it is indeed very forgiving.
"You can't sleep in the original tent?" Caschia sat up straight and looked at Alice standing aside silently.Alice nodded to him and then lay directly on Vishian's original position.
She pressed the pillows under her hands and found to her regret that all of their pillows had the same softness level: zero.
There was nothing to complain about. Alice shook her head. After she found a comfortable angle, she stopped all movements and answered what Caschia had just said: "I can't sleep, Eva just stare at me."
"Have you been staring at you all this time? This is..." Caschia was a little unsure of the words. He struggled for a while, and then continued: "It's very troublesome, I understand."
Alice twisted her chin a few times, and after not noticing Eva's gaze, her fatigue hit her like a tide.In less than 5 minutes, she fell asleep.
At 07:30 the next morning, she slowly got out of the bed and walked out of the tent with her hair as messy as a bird's nest.
After walking out of the tent, Alice began to look for her companions. However, she walked around the camp for more than two times and failed to find any of the two male compatriots.
Even Roy, Phil and Carlos were missing. After asking Evely, Alice realized that they had set out to Black Moon Island to find the seven gems while she was sleeping.
And when night fell and the stars and moon shadows came to the big stage called the sky, the few who went to find the gems returned to the camp.
Walking at the front of the queue were Roy and Feier. They seemed to be in a good mood. Alice also noticed that Feier seemed to be holding something in his hand.Only when they got closer did she see clearly what was in Feier's hand.
A box made of reddish-brown wood. The box is not big, about the size of an ordinary jewelry box. However, there is no decoration on it and it looks unusually simple.
"Are the gems inside this? This box looks so, so old..." Alice looked at the wooden box held by Feier.Feier smiled and waved the wooden box in front of Alice's eyes, and Alice's eyes began to follow his movements.
Fair had enough fun and said, "When we get Carlos settled, you'll have time to take a good look at these little things."
After saying that, he straightened his face and motioned Alice to look behind them.
Behind them, Carlos seemed to be unconscious. Roy threw him onto the cart that came from nowhere.In fact, he was pushed all the way by Roy.
"He..., you'd better leave him alone." Feier shook his head stiffly and said, "Even I couldn't make him change his mind. So in the end...Hey!"
Speaking of which, Alice knew what Feier meant without having to listen any further.
Carlos was dead and no one could save him.Everything he did and every sin he committed would have to be borne by him personally in the end.
After chatting for a while, after Roy and Phil restrained Carlos again, they returned to the big tent and began to carefully examine the confiscated gems.
The small wooden box was placed on the table. Caschia stood some distance away from the table, hesitating.He could feel the strange aura radiating around the box, but when the box was fully opened...
—TBC—
Chapter 239 Abnormal Gem
After Caschia opened the box completely, he immediately showed a vigilant look on his face.
In his eyes, the gems placed in the wooden box are not "harmless" decorations, no matter how dim their color is, no matter how dim they are, and no matter how dim they are, no matter how others claim they have lost their energy.
He instinctively realized that these gems still concealed the power of darkness.There are many sources of dark power: curse, death, resentment, anger, sadness...
All negative emotions may eventually be converted into dark "magic", and this "magic" usually does not completely dissipate and will be ready for a long time.
For example, these gems now, Caschia is not sure whether it is appropriate to call them "gems".Overflowing with dark magic that Caschia had never seen before, these gems seemed like the embodiment of a dying man's resentment.
It is a bottomless feeling, as if you are at the bottom of the ocean, surrounded by muddy and sticky black water.
In any case, this is not something that ordinary humans should be exposed to.
Caschia wanted to warn everyone present, "Don't touch them easily for the time being." He said like this, but what happened?
Alice picked up one of the gems at lightning speed when he uttered the first syllable.She was holding a diamond-shaped gem, and through the gray "mist" on the surface, she realized that the dark color was not a "color" in the true sense.
Before she could throw the gem in her hand, dark tentacles had already emerged from the inside of the gem and wrapped tightly around her arm.
The smooth, cold touch scratched across Alice's skin. She felt a little bit of pain, but more of it was the coldness that penetrated deep into her bones.
