Cressy didn't say anything more this time. She took Ivan Bell away from Alice and walked towards a small room without looking back.Alice wanted to catch up and ask for details, but she was held down by Vician.

"Don't worry, leave it to them. They will be responsible for changing Ivan Bell back to his original state. Only they can do this."

"'Return to the original'? Are you serious? That they can make Ivan Bell human again!?"

"Yes, that's right, they can indeed do it."

"But didn't you say before that you had to find Eva to figure out how magic works?"

"That's because... I can't explain clearly. Let Caschia explain it to you then. Ask him, don't ask me. I get a headache when it comes to this matter."

Wei Xi'an raised his hand and pressed his temple, pretending to have a headache.Alice tilted her head and looked at Vishian in confusion for a while, then she looked away bored.

"You said you asked me to ask Caschia, where is he now? Is he really here?"

"Of course he is! Isn't he busy there helping Ivan Bell recover his body?"

Alice instantly brightened up after hearing this. She stood up straighter, and at the same time, wild imaginations appeared in her head.

"What do you think we should say when Ivan and Caschia come out of the room? Wouldn't it be better to say 'Welcome back'?"

"If you say this, there is a high probability that Ivan Bell will look down upon you."

"Then you say we should...! Hey hey hey! They're coming out!"

It took less time than both Vician and Caschia calculated to change Ivan Bell from rabbit form back to human form.Originally, this curse-breaking ceremony lasted for at least ten minutes, but this time the participants suddenly left the ceremony, mainly because there was a problem with the ceremony.

Ivan Bell indeed escaped from the weak and powerless rabbit form, but on the way to further transformation into a human, her body was fixed as half human and half rabbit.Her height has grown from less than ten centimeters to fifty centimeters, but this is a quarter of her human height.Her limbs also had flesh pads and down remaining as if they were not fully evolved. In fact, not only her hands and feet, but most of her body was also wrapped in a layer of fine down.

Seen from a distance, it is just a child that looks like a half-orc.

But there are still some things that have evolved, let’s talk about Ivan Bell’s vocal cords. She can now speak. Although her voice is small and thin, with a strange accent, it is at least enough to let others know her. What you want to express.

This may be the best result of the entire ceremony. Unfortunately, this does not mean that other changes do not exist. Ivan Bell still has to bear the consequences of the failure of the ceremony.

and secondary harassment from Ms. Cressy Ariana.

"Get away from me! You stupid, damn old witch!"

Ivan Bell's high-pitched shout broke through the door and reached the ears of Alice and Visian who were waiting by the door.The two of them looked at each other, stood up and opened the door in front of them.

Chapter 271: The Ferry Council (4)

The magical ritual that allowed Ivan Bell to return to human form unfortunately failed midway, and this failure directly caused her to get stuck halfway through her evolution from rabbit to human.Look at her current appearance. She looks like a little half-orc who is only fifty centimeters tall and covered in a fur coat.The height of fifty centimeters is not even close to that of Starlight. If Alice instructs Starlight to forcibly lift her up and hold her in his arms, then she will have no choice but to be held obediently like a doll. Lift it high.

Therefore, Ivan Bell pointed the finger at Cressy who was directing the ceremony. When Cressy came over to touch her, she couldn't bear it and began to scream resentfully at him.

And her penetrating voice easily broke through the barrier of the door, and easily reached the ears of the two people waiting outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, there was a clanging knock on the door, footsteps, and the loudest exclamation.

"Ruined!"

The moment she heard that person's voice, Ivan Bell's brain faithfully conveyed this information to her.She looked back without any hope, and then she saw Vishian with a complicated expression and Alice with an unbelievable look on her face.

"What did you post!? Oh my God! How did you become like this!"

"Oh...it seems your ceremony failed?"

Alice and Visian showed different reactions. Alice showed more surprise and confusion, while Visian twitched his eyes with an expression that he couldn't bear to look at.

"You're here after all. I-you shouldn't be here."

No one answered Alice's question. Instead, Caschia took over Vician's words, although he was not explaining the changes that had happened to Ivan Bell.Weisian did not answer him, but shrugged, and then he bent down and "picked up" Ivan Bell.

"Let me go! You bastards!!!"

"Ah! Just give her to me!...Ivan! It's me, calm down!"

Alice took Ivan Bell's throw from Vician. She carefully held down Ivan Bell's kicking feet and began to hold her in a baby-like manner. At the same time, she also used her hands to follow a certain rhythm. Give it a slap on the back.Ivan Bell suddenly noticed something was wrong with the way the people around her looked at the two of them. She stopped all movements and raised her neck upwards.

She was treated like a crying baby, and her current "mother" was a companion of a similar age.

Thinking of this, a blush appeared on Ivan Bell's face. I don't know whether it was because of shame or anger. She began to struggle again, trying to break away from Alice's restraints with her own strength.But her actions startled Alice and forced her to work harder to comfort her. In the end, she even started singing a lullaby.

The scene was in chaos, with Alice's singing mixed with Ivan Bell's mumbling and Ms. Cressy's laughter, as well as all kinds of comments.But in the end, someone stepped forward and broke this stupid situation with his own words.

"Ahem, Alice, you'd better put Ivan Bell down first. We need to do a check-up to see what went wrong with the ceremony."

Caschia coughed a few times and signaled Alice to quickly put down Ivan Bell, who was tortured into a state of disgrace.Alice obviously heard this sentence. She placed Ivan Bell on the table with some reluctance, and gently stroked Ivan Bell's fur twice when her hands left.

On the other side, Ivan Bell looked extremely haggard, as if the previous 10 minutes seemed like a century to her.The two long ears on the top of her head hung down, and her red eyes became watery. It seemed that she had a lot of complaints and grievances that she wanted to express.

Ivan Bell was quickly surrounded by people. Several Abyss Crossers who participated in the ceremony surrounded her. On the table, they kept checking with pens and paper. After a long time, the group of people sighed in unison. while pulling away from the table.

"I don't understand, I really don't understand."

"The order and materials of the ceremony are correct, but how could this happen?"

"It's so interesting. I really want to dissect her and see the structure. ...Why are you looking at me like this? I just want to see what magic has done to her body!"

Ignoring a certain person with evil intentions, everyone else came to the same conclusion, that is, for some reason, the ritual that was supposed to be carried out smoothly failed, which led to Ivan Bell being trapped in that pair of people. In the body of a human or a rabbit.It's a pity that no one can do anything about this. They put forward the hypothesis "Maybe the magic takes effect slower? Just wait a little longer to find out!", and Cressy also used this to try to remove Yi. Van Bell stayed.

Of course, Ivan Bell was reluctant to die. She knew very well what would happen if she fell into the hands of Cressy in this state. She might become a doll that she kneaded, or she might become a ferryman today. Parliament's new mascot.

By the way, the mascot of the previous session was the parrot that was accidentally killed by Cressy not long ago. It was such a pity for that parrot. Ivan Bell quite liked its jokes.

In view of the lessons learned from the past, Ivan Bell quickly captured the "malice" in Cressy's words. Before Cressy reached out to her, she had already jumped off the table and hid behind Alice.

"She can't walk on the street like this. Now there are not only residents on the street, but also many refugees who have smuggled in. They are short of money. How can you guarantee that my little troublemaker will not be abducted and sold? Where did it fall?"

"No! I will... we will protect Ivan! So, so!"

"Although you say this, what guarantee can you give? This is the Ferry Council. There is no safer place in the world than here."

Cressy and Alice had a tit-for-tat confrontation. It was entirely because of Ivan Bell's behavior that Alice had the courage to stand on the opposite side of Cressy. She tightly protected Ivan Bell behind her and tried her best to resist. An "attack" from the person on the other side.

"She can't guarantee it, but I can."

Vician said this very easily. He stared at Cressy sharply, with obvious threats in his eyes.

—TBC—

Chapter 272: The Ferry Council (5)

The compatibility between Cressy and Vician is extremely bad. Even though they have just met each other, this still does not prevent them from being tit-for-tat with each other.Faced with Cressy's question, Vician gave the answer on behalf of Alice, and also hurt Cressy by the way.

"Why don't you let us hear the opinions of the person involved? Alice, go ask Ivan Bell if she wants to stay here."

At Vician's signal, Alice had a quick chat with Ivan Bell, and then they successfully reached an agreement.

"Ivan said she doesn't want to stay here, so we can indeed take her away, right?"

Alice replied in a serious tone. After finishing speaking, she gave Ivan Bell a firm look.When Cressy heard what she said, she showed a regretful expression. She sighed quietly and looked at Ivan Bell who was hiding behind Alice with reluctance.

"Is this really the case? Am I just--not as good as your new friends? Mom, I'm so sad~"

"You're not sad! You obviously just want to keep me here so you can tease me!"

"And you are not my mother!"

Ivan Bell jumped up and down in anger. She scratched one of her ears tangledly, her nose quivered and she blew out a few puffs of air.She stared at Cressy for a while, and after making sure that the other party showed no signs of any action, she pulled Alice's sleeve and signaled that they could leave.

But before they were about to step out, Cressy spoke to stop them again.This time she blocked the doorway, using her body to block anyone trying to leave the room.

"Please give way. We should be able to leave. This is what you said..."

"Did I say that? I just want you to listen to her opinion. The final decision-maker is still me?"

It's almost a rogue statement, but surprisingly it makes sense.

"I can take care of her on your behalf. After all, she was raised by me. You can't deny this, right?"

"Well... this is a fact. But you are just my mentor! What mistake did I make to meet someone like you..."

Ivan Bell shrugged his head and muttered very quietly.

"I would like to tell you some news. Isn't Nomoft across the sea during a war recently? Last night, a ship full of refugees set sail from the port, and now it seems... it should have docked."

Cressy lay lazily on the table. She gently raised her left hand and used her fingers to write and draw on the table. After a while, she continued: "The number of people is about 200. You Can you imagine that that humble boat can hold so many people? But this is a fact. Once they disembark, the first thing they look for is shelter."

"If you agree to keep my little troublemaker, maybe we can reserve a few rooms for you."

"There's no need to worry, we've already booked the room."

Wei Xi'an intervened in the topic at the right time, and then he conjured two bright keys from his sleeves like a magic trick.At this time, Alice noticed something keenly. She recognized the shape of the two keys. After all, she now had a similar key in her pocket.When she was about to hand the key back to the hotel owner this morning, the hotel owner gave her a strange look and told her that someone had paid to keep her room until the next day.

She knew that person, because it was Vician.

But she didn't expect that Wei Xi'an would book more rooms, just like he had already expected that they would be useful.Alice was very surprised after learning that Vician had done these things.

Wait, maybe Vician does know?This made Alice feel that her brain cells were not enough.

"Then please allow us to be rude."

With that said, Vician bowed to Cressy. After bowing, he threw one of the keys to Ivan Bell, and the other one disappeared into his sleeve again. internal.

"Hey? Aren't you going to give Caschia the key?"

"What are you doing for him? I think he is quite comfortable here, so why not just let him live here."

"But you clearly took his share..."

"Let's go, let's go. Staying here makes me feel bad!"

Alice could not finish what she said, because Vishian had already walked out of the door first, leaving only a figure behind for everyone present.After that, Alice and her party returned along the original route and leisurely returned to the hotel where they stayed last night.

But this leisure only applies to Alice and Vician, not to Ivan Bell, because her current half-orc appearance is too conspicuous, so she can only put on a thick blanket to cover up her figure.Fortunately, she looked inconspicuous, just like a refugee child who had just escaped from the war, unexpectedly echoing the current "special situation".

Alice and her party were temporarily calmed down, but Caschia on the other side couldn't calm down.After Cressy lost his target, he immediately turned his attention to him.They were barely superiors and subordinates, but Cressy had no emotion similar to "respect" for him, not to mention that Caschia owed her one more time.

It was about the ritual of Ivan Bell. This ritual required a lot of magic power and resources. Caschia had no choice but to turn to Cressy, who was his subordinate.If according to the original idea, Cressy should have personally brought Ivan Bell to the Ferry Council. How could they have thought that Vishian would come directly to the door with Alice and Ivan Bell?

"That friend of yours doesn't seem to be very kind to you. They took away my lovely Ivan Bell and left you here."

"No, he...I will go back to find him later."

Caschia sighed, his heart was in chaos, and he was in a state where he didn't know how to sort out his thoughts.Cressy looked at him amusedly. She observed it carefully and finally came to the conclusion that "he is a fool."

"Then I don't care about what's going on between you! After all, I was threatened by someone from your family."

"My family? You mean...? No, no, no, you misunderstood, me, me and him..."

"Hush, shush! Okay, I understand. There is no unnecessary relationship between you. You are his judge and the one who killed him. You have no feelings for him except apologies."
