I'm not a loser in love from Dimensional Adventurer

Rydes now began to explain. From his words, Alice learned that their caravan did not set off from Dai Si'an, but from the other end of the continent, that is, from the town located north of the imperial capital - Hanyan City. Set off.This is not the first time they have taken this trade route. Originally, this trade route was very safe even though it was not guarded by the Self-Defense Forces. However, this security has recently collapsed with the emergence of "thieves' tactics".

"'Thieves' Wrist'? Are they the ones wearing hand-shaped pendants around their necks just now?"

Alice interrupted Leders. She had been thinking about the unusual meaning of the pendant, so that the thief could say "After seeing this token, he still has the courage to trouble us."

"Yes, it is said that their leader has nimble hands that can grab anything, and his men use this as a symbol of status and pride."

Mr. Leders replied that he also described to Alice how cruel the bandit leader was: It is rumored that the leader of the "Thief of the Band" is a bloated man with a height of 7 feet and his hands are full of rings.Although it looks ugly, nothing he targets can escape his grasp, as if it is blessed by the god of thieves.

In addition, one of his cruel deeds mentions that he once chopped off someone's hands, chopped off his feet, and sewed them back together because the person failed one day. Pay "taxes".

Alice heard this and imagined the scene, and couldn't help but feel chilled.

"Isn't anyone planning on eradicating them?"

"There used to be, but they all..."

Leders shook his head and did not intend to say any more, as if there was something hidden in this matter.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Miss, you look like you are going somewhere. If you don't mind, we can give you a ride."

Ryders saw the box Alice was carrying and figured out where she was heading.Alice was naturally happy to hear Leders' words. She originally wanted to talk to them like this, but she didn't know how to speak because of the unexpected incident.

"Then come up first."

"Please."

Before following Ryders into the carriage, Alice turned her head to look for her black cat. She was stunned for a moment and then suddenly opened the box at her feet. As expected, the black cat Elfric was huddled up. Sleep peacefully in the box.

"Huh, I was taken aback."

Alice sighed helplessly, and decided not to disturb this little creature that had been giving her a headache for a long time.She closed the box again and got into the caravan carriage.

"Daisian, I heard that the people there are very strange. Are you sure you want to go to that village?"

After getting on the carriage, Alice quickly became familiar with the people on the carriage. After everyone heard that she was a magician who had never been outside, they began to spontaneously introduce the outside world.

They started from their hometown, talked about the imperial capital and caravans, and when talking about the hidden village Daisi'an in the forest, Alice expressed her wish to go to this village.

And what Alice got was the reply just like before.

"Strange? What do you mean?"

Alice waited curiously for the answer. The woman in front of her thought for a while but couldn't tell her anything. Their caravan did not pass through Dai Si'an, so they only heard that the villagers there were not very good at communicating.

"That's it... forget it. Anyway, I know magic, so I'm not afraid of anything happening."

Alice felt that since the other party didn't know, it was useless to continue asking, so she ended the topic about Dai Si'an. Now she pinched the black cat's flesh pad and asked about the news about the imperial capital.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped.Leders opened the curtain and said to Alice: "Miss Alice, deep in the forest is Dai Si'an. Our carriage can't go anywhere, so we can only take you here first."

"Thank you so much. It's enough for you to send me here."

Alice said that they didn't need to worry, she was still capable of walking through the forest alone to reach her destination.The caravan group recalled Alice's magic and agreed with her words.

The two parties parted in front of the entrance of the forest. Alice waved to the carriage that was getting further away. She waited until the carriage completely disappeared on the horizon before turning around and walking into the forest.

"Dai Si'an, I don't know what kind of village it will be."

Alice prayed in her heart. She hoped that she could communicate well with the people on the village road, and at least find a place to live before nightfall...

Chapter 4: Hidden Village—Dai Si’an

After walking around in the forest for nearly an hour, Alice finally found the right direction leading to Dai Si'an.She pushed aside the branches in front of her with one hand and stuck her head out to look forward. Her straight line of sight touched Dai Si'an who was a few meters away from him.

Although Alice could only see the upper part of the huge wooden door in front of Dai Si'an from her perspective, she was still relieved.

"Huh, I thought I was going to get lost in the forest."

Alice turned her head and glanced at the forest behind her. Those rugged, bumpy "roads" impressed her so much that she didn't want to go there again in a short time if she could.

Even though she suffered a lot because of the unmarked forests on the map, Alice decided not to care too much (such as how many unmarked forests there were on this map).

After she walked out of the bush, she simply adjusted her clothes. She threw the leaves that were stuck to her body at her feet. After confirming that she did not have any natural products on her body, she walked towards Dai Si'an's main entrance.

Dai Si'an's door was open, and Alice stepped through the door and walked into the village. She could see the houses standing on both sides of the road and the stone road that extended to the center of the village.

This village hidden deep in the forest can indeed be called the "Hidden Village". Alice walked along the road for a long time, and she did not encounter any other living creatures except those domesticated animals.

She stopped and stood there and looked around. The houses around her had their doors closed, and they looked quiet as if they were uninhabited.

"Is there no one? It's strange."

While Alice was whispering like this, the sound of something falling mixed with a brief exclamation came from behind her.

Alice turned around, and in front of her stood a woman wearing a linen robe. Her hands were suspended in mid-air, and the basket that was supposed to be held by these hands was lying on the ground.

“Rht CaSen Oen!”

The lady shouted like this. She kept talking in a language that Alice couldn't understand. After shouting a few words like this, the lady ran towards the center of the village, leaving behind people who obviously didn't understand what was going on. Alice was stunned on the spot.

"Wha, what happened? What did she say?"

"Hey, wait!!"

Alice tried to catch up with the woman who was running as fast as a man possessed, but unfortunately she couldn't catch up even a little bit.After the failed chase, Alice came to her senses and found herself in the square in the center of the village.

Some villagers who heard the noise and walked out of their houses were looking at Alice. From Alice's point of view, those villagers were very far away from her, and their eyes were full of curiosity and... awe?

"Well, excuse me?"

Alice walked towards one of the villagers, but the villager immediately ran away before she could get close.After that, no matter how Alice tried to strike up a conversation, the villagers who met her basically had only one reaction: run away.

Alice began to reflect on the decision she had made. She originally thought that "the villagers in Dai Si'an were not very communicative" just meant that they were not very easy to talk to. However, the situation she encountered now was more like "running away when seeing people and being completely unable to communicate." ".

"It's over, what should I do?"

"And why are they looking at me like they've seen some strange creature?"

The current situation was completely beyond what Alice could handle, and her thoughts wavered between "leaving Dai Si'an" and "continuing to talk to the villagers and stay overnight."

Although the goddess of luck made a lot of jokes with Alice today, the goddess still seemed to be very fond of Alice.Alice felt the hem of her skirt being pulled. It wasn't the obvious pulling feeling of a black cat biting the hem of her skirt, but a slighter, more careful feeling.

Alice turned her head and looked behind her. Behind her, a young child was pulling the corner of Alice's skirt. The child blinked at Alice and gave her a small smile.

Alice leaned down, not expecting to understand the child, but the child gave her a surprise.The young child took a few steps forward and then looked back at Alice. Only when Alice followed her did she continue walking.

Alice followed the "silent" tour guide to a high platform, and the child left after taking Alice to a private house.

Alice watched the child leave, and knocked on the door suspiciously. After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and the old man who seemed to be the owner of the house stood in front of Alice.

“Os Gueh!…”

The old man exclaimed and said a few words. After seeing Alice's confused expression, he understood. He turned to speak to Alice again in common language.

"Oh my god, you are... no, no, no, please don't care."

After Alice heard the familiar language, a spark of hope instantly appeared in her eyes. Just before she was about to be driven crazy by the incomprehensible language and weird behavior of the Daisi'an villagers, God brought her a man who could People who communicate normally.

"Although this old man's behavior is quite strange, at least he can understand this time, right?"

With this idea in mind, Alice repeated to the old man the reason why she came to Dai Si'an. After being invited into the room, she was able to sit at the table and talk to the old man.

During the conversation, Alice learned that the old man was Dai Si'an's village chief, named Demias.At the same time, she also learned about this hidden village from Demias:

Dai Si'an has been taking root in this forest since before the tsunami. Before the nearby land was developed, they had been living in isolation from the outside world until recently.Because they have little contact with the outside world, the villagers in Dai Si'an still use ancient dialect, so it's no wonder that Alice can't understand it.

The reason why Demias can speak Common Language but the villagers can't is very complicated. Their language is like a mark engraved in their souls, and they have to put a lot of effort into learning Common Language.

To put it simply, the difficulty of this matter is as difficult as making a young master born in a noble family become as foul-mouthed as a street gangster in a short period of time.

Demias was lucky enough to learn it, and the others...

In short, Alice expressed her understanding. She had also had a hard time learning spells before.

"It's okay, I was just, well, scared. They ran away as soon as they saw me. I thought I had done something wrong."

As Alice said this, she helplessly complained to Mr. Demias about the villagers' abnormal behavior.

"That's because...how should I put it, they just don't adapt to the arrival of tourists."

"Is that right?"

Demias was halfway through his explanation when Alice interrupted him.She was a little confused. From the moment she stepped into Dai Si'an, everyone who saw her stayed away from him. Once she approached the other person, the other person would bow to her and run away.

This is no way to treat an uninvited guest.

Naturally, Alice didn't know what she looked like in the eyes of the villagers. From a perspective that she couldn't see, there was a woman trapped in shackles floating behind her. The villagers of Dai Si'an called her "Lumi". Tia". "Lumitia" is not a human being. Anyone who can see it will not think of it as a human being. The half-black and half-white body looks extremely ominous, and even the meaning it represents is the same.

Every Dai Si'an knows who this woman is. It is a symbol that appears in the prophecies left by generations of ancestors and represents an unexplainable destiny.Therefore, when the residents saw Alice carrying "Lumitia" on her back, they would stay away or even run away.

But Alice didn't know it. She couldn't see what was behind her. She could only see the abnormal behavior of the villagers. She tried to ask Demias what caused this phenomenon, but the old man repeated, "Everyone just doesn't understand." Adapt to the phrase.

Alice narrowed her eyes and stared at the person in front of her with her own eyes. Demias looked very calm, and he was smoking his pipe while facing Alice's gaze.

A few minutes of silence passed, and Alice finally accepted Demias' words. She rubbed her stiff brows, exhaled, and leaned back in her chair to relax.

"If me being here is disturbing you, I can leave now."

When Alice said this, Demias moved the pipe away from his mouth after hearing it. He shook his head and replied: "It's okay, they just need some time to adapt to the arrival of new guests."

"It's getting late. If you don't mind, you can stay here for one night. My daughter, Kefi'er will take good care of you."

After hearing this reply, Alice looked out the window. Indeed, it was dark outside, which was not suitable for a young lady like her to go out.She nodded in agreement, and after Demias left the table for a while, she saw him coming back with a girl.

"This is my daughter, come here, Kefir, and say hello."

"Hello."

Alice saw her, the girl named Kefir.Kefir looked a few years younger than her, her dark brown hair looked soft and docile, and her expression was like a puppy that had just been taken out of the nest.

Cautious and curious, not only Kefir is like this, but Alice is similar to her.

The two girls quickly became proficient, and Alice got a lot of information from Kefir. She learned about an underground temple where events before the tsunami were recorded.

Alice's desire for adventure was aroused. She actually had a strong interest in ancient history, not to mention that it was a temple, a temple underground in a hidden village.What could be more exciting than this?

"The temple is in the forest south of the village."

Kefir stood in front of the window and pointed the general direction to Alice.

“But it’s kind of just a mural there.”

Alice wrote down the general direction that Kefir told her. After hearing Kefir's words, she shrugged indifferently and said: "The result is not important, the discovery process is. I just want to take a look, and nothing will happen." .”

And this sentence is like an unlucky gambler saying: "I will definitely win this!" It completely goes against the will of the person who is speaking.
