"Huh? In bed?"

Ivan Bell was a little distracted before. When she heard the word "on board", her brain corrected it to "bed" for him, which led to her shouting in surprise.Her voice was indeed a bit loud, so loud that Visian could hear her voice through a thick cloth.

"What bed? What the hell are you talking about!?" Wei Xi'an said in surprise.

"No, nothing. It was Ivan who heard wrong! You keep driving... No, help us to see when we can arrive. Remember to call us when we arrive!"

Alice hurriedly opened the curtain behind the driver's seat and explained to Vician with a stiff smile.Wei Xi'an glanced at her doubtfully, then sighed and replied: "I will call you when we get there."

Seeing that Wei Xi'an had no intention of going into details, Alice let out a breath and retreated into the carport to secretly wipe off the cold sweat.Seeing her return, Caschia and Ivan Bell also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ivan Bell, who made a slip of the tongue, shrank her shoulders and kept putting the melon seeds in her hands into her mouth. Caschia had just given them to her to prevent her from talking nonsense again.By the way, the way Caschia looked at him was the same as when he saw Vician making a fool of himself.

"Have I been reduced to the same class as Visian?" Ivan Bell ate the melon seeds with blood dripping from his heart.

After Ivan Bell's slip of the tongue, Alice and the others couldn't discuss it anymore. They all invariably put zippers on their mouths and maintained a strange silence.

The silence was unbearable, and the sound of cracking melon seeds made by only one person gradually turned into two people, and finally even three people.After waiting for half an hour, Wei Xi'an opened the door curtain of the carriage and saw a hill made of melon seed shells piled on the floor of the carriage, as well as three "idiots" covering their cheeks.

"What have you been doing during this time?" Wei Xi'an asked his companions with his eyes, and he turned sideways to make way for a passage.He watched the three people line up and get off the carriage with uniform steps.

"Is this the Forest of Tears?"

Stepping out of the carriage, Alice was quickly attracted by the sight in front of her.She forgot about her swollen and sore cheeks and looked around while sighing.The Forest of Tears was much larger than Alice had imagined. Lush trees were planted on both sides of the road leading to the interior of the forest, and from time to time, birdsong could be heard coming from the trees.At the same time, Alice also noticed a wooden sign standing beside the intersection.

She walked over and took a look. The sign that read "Forest of Tears" was a little old, and even the wooden boards had moss and mushrooms growing on it due to moisture.Looking away from the sign, Alice stood in front of the entrance and waved to everyone, urging them to come quickly.

"It's almost like I'm here for an outing." Wei Xi'an shook his head helplessly and walked slowly.In front of him was Ivan Bell, and beside him was Caschia as always.

"Isn't that nice?" Caschia said with a smile: "This way you will feel a little more relaxed, right?"

"Ha, mind your own business."

Vician was stunned for a moment after hearing Caschia's answer, and then he lowered his eyes and laughed.It would be impossible to say that he didn't feel sad about Alina, otherwise he wouldn't have been sitting in the driver's seat outside the carport.The wind could help him stay awake a little instead of drowning in self-blame and sadness.He had done too many stupid things in the past. He never visited Alina after returning to Xios. That was because Vishian believed that he was not qualified.

After all, "ruining other people's lives in the name of revenge" is stupid and ridiculous when you think about it.But he had done this before, and he couldn't refute Samuel's words, "We are essentially the same."

He originally thought that he would never dare to come here in his life, but this time, Wei Xi'an took the initiative to come.

Although I don’t know if he can control his emotions when he gets off the carriage and comes to Alina’s grave?

Weisian didn't have the confidence to say "impossible". He might need the company of others to prevent him from making any bad decisions again, but he would never ask for it.

So Caschia, who had seen through everything, followed on his own initiative, taking Alice and Ivan Bell with him.These three people had a wonderful reaction with Visian, like a magic spell, turning "sad Visian" into "not so sad Visian".

"This should be a good thing, it should be." Caschia was looking forward to it. He walked slowly and leisurely with Vician. He watched Alice dragging Ivan Bell and trotting all the way up the hill.The two young girls were dancing and making noise up the hill, and a series of melodious laughter echoed in the forest, adding a bit of vitality to the forest that had been silent for decades.

"Coming."

After walking for a while, Wei Xi'an suddenly raised his head and looked not far away and muttered to himself.Caschia looked in the same direction and found a winding path that stretched upward toward the sky, as if it was about to break away from the ground.

And at the end of this path, Alina was sleeping there.

—TBC—

Chapter 95 Leisurely daily life (3)

Climbing up the hillside, a crooked path appeared in front of Alice. The path continued upwards, as if it was leading to the sky.

"It's right up there." Wei Xi'an stood at the intersection, glanced at the sky and said, "Go up..."

Alice nodded, and she set foot on the path with her companions.Following closely behind Vician, they walked for a long time.The winding path took them away from the ground. No, not only the ground, but also the forest was left behind them.

The road is not too long, but it is steep.Halfway through, Alice stopped because she was exhausted.Wei Xi'an did not urge anyone to move forward, but said: "It is indeed very tiring to climb up in one breath. Everyone should take a rest."

So they went into break time because of this sentence.Everyone sat on the ground and admired the scenery in front of them.

Alice sat on the edge, her dangling feet tapping against the stone wall.As long as her center of gravity is unstable, she may fall off the cliff.Although she was sitting in such a dangerous place, she didn't feel scared.She looked at the green ocean and felt unexpectedly calm in her heart.Her eyes swept across the entire place as far as she could see, and then she discovered some blues and grays among the vast swaths of green.

"The lake and the cliff," thought Alice.The same creation, whether it is human beings or buildings, will one day perish.However, there are some exceptions, such as Vician, such as...

"Samuel."

Alice repeated this name in her mind. She still hadn't understood the complex emotions this name brought her. It was a bitter emotion with some sourness.

"It's a strange feeling." Thinking of this, Alice began to bite her lips tightly, and the notes she struck on the stone wall with her heels suddenly became faster.

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. This inexplicable emotion was stuck in Alice's chest, making her suddenly feel stuffy.

Maybe it's because such an environment really makes people think too much.

Alice shook her head vigorously to get rid of the distracting thoughts in her mind. She took a deep breath and let the breath of nature clear away the fog in her heart.She quickly cheered up and stood up. She wandered to Ivan Bell, and then stuck to Ivan Bell like a slime.

Alice's actions reminded Ivan Bell of her cheating mentor. She tried to struggle out, but the more she struggled, the more "slimy" Alice became. Gradually, she realized that she had been successfully captured by Alice the octopus.

Ivan Bell didn't know how to release her arms and legs all of a sudden. She could only use her eyes to ask for help from Caschia, who was not far from her.

But Caschia's gratified (kind) eyes succeeded in making Ivan Bell give up this idea.She looked at Wei Xi'an without any hope, and then she saw a gloating expression on his face.

After resting for a while, Alice and her party got up again and planned to continue climbing.After the previous brief repair, Alice felt that she felt a lot more relaxed.Although she couldn't read Wei Xi'an's current thoughts, judging from the spread of his eyebrows, he was probably the same as hers.

After a few minutes, Alice and the others reached the end.At the end of the path, facing the skyline, there is a simple stone tablet. It must be that Lancas's wife, Elina, is buried under it.

Wei Xi'an took the lead and stepped forward. He bent down and stretched out his hand to wipe away the dust that fell on the stone tablet.This place was the same as when he last came, and even the magically treated bouquet remained the same as it had been decades ago.

Remove the old bouquet and put the new bouquet down.After doing all this, Visian stood up and nodded to his companions standing far away, indicating that he had sorted it out.

Alice also took out a bouquet. She bought a bouquet of brown flowers. Although this kind of flower is a little inconspicuous, its fragrance is very long-lasting.And judging from the color, it is almost the same as Alina's hair color.Wei Xi'an also noticed Alice's intentions, and he rubbed Aishangli's head gratefully.

Alice straightened her messed up hair, and then stepped aside so that Ivan Bell and Caschia could put down the bouquets in their hands.

Purple and white bouquets also appeared in front of the tombstone, and the fragrance of various flowers suddenly spread in the wind.After placing the bouquet, Caschia said a few words to Vician, and then he pulled Alice and Ivan Bell down the mountain road first.

Caschia planned to let Vician be alone with his lost love for a while, and Alice and Ivan Bell both understood.After the three of them said hello to Wei Xi'an, they returned to their original place along the mountain road.

Standing at the entrance, Alice finally spoke: "Since Visian hasn't come down yet, it's boring for us to stand here. Why don't we continue the topic from last time?"

"What topic? The one about the bed?"

Ivan Bell was confused. To be honest, she was really bored with waiting. Although this was a bit rude to Visian, she was really free now.

"Are you referring to how I met Vician?" Caschia asked. Alice did not speak but cast a curious look at him.Seeing that Caschia also joined Alice's chat group, Ivan Bell also shrugged and listened.

"On a ship heading to Xios. I think it was night time and I went out on the deck to take a look and I saw him."

"At that time, I wasn't sure whether it was him or not. After all, he died in my hands. And it was almost... I can't remember, it was a long time anyway. So I didn't go up to greet him directly. In the end, it was Visian who discovered me and took the initiative to recognize me."

Caschia recalled, and he continued: "After that, I accompanied him to Ander and established Pergade. Finally..."

Before he finished his sentence, Wei Xi'an's voice suddenly rang out, "Ha, why are you exposing my old man while I'm not here?" He said with half annoyance and half a smile.

"How dare you! Aren't we curious about how you met Caschia?"

Alice hid behind Ivan Bell and said with a smile.Wei Xi'an's sudden appearance actually scared her a bit, making her feel like she was gossiping about others and then being caught on the spot by the person involved.

After hearing this, Vician looked at Caschia with questioning eyes. Caschia blinked with an innocent look on his face.

"Forget it. Let's go! We're going back! We can still make it in time for dinner now."

Vician pulled the reins around Naivesto's neck, and he turned over and sat on the driver's seat.Seeing that everyone was still standing there, he patted the carport and motioned for everyone to get up quickly.

Alice was so excited that she ran into the carport and sat down with her doubts and confusion.Compared to her who moved like a rabbit, Ivan Bell and Caschia's movements were a bit slow.

"Why are you in such a hurry!" Ivan Bell murmured quietly as she walked to the carriage. Although her words were low in volume, they were still heard by Visian.

"Because I'm hungry, sister! I just ate a piece of bread, and the rest went into your mouths!"

"Who told you that your hands are too slow! And, go! Who are you calling sister! Are you older than me?"

Before Ivan Bell walked into the carport, he raised his leg and kicked Visian. Visian retracted his foot and bared his teeth at Ivan Bell.

"Go inside a little bit."

Caschia, who also came over, held onto the railing next to the driver's seat with one hand and said to Vician.Vician hesitantly moved to the right side of the driver's seat, and then Caschia smoothly got into the driver's seat, occupying Vician's original position.

"You have been assimilated by them!" Vician complained loudly. He pulled the reins, and Nevisto ran obediently.

After the sound of horse hooves, Caschia said to Vician: "Aren't you also assimilated? How are you? How do you feel now?"

"It's better, just a little better." Wei Xi'an twitched the corner of his mouth. He had to admit that the presence of his companions did help him control his emotions.Maybe he could really let it go, otherwise there wouldn't be a smile in his tone.

Looking at Vician like this, Caschia sighed with emotion, and a feeling of "my son has grown up" moved him to reach out and rub Vician's head.Visian discovered it, and Visian tried to avoid it, but today Caschia was unusually persistent.

They started pushing and shoving in the driver's seat, and soon all kinds of noise started, but it soon stopped.When Alice curiously opened the curtain behind the driver's seat, she saw Vician and Caschia trying to untie their tangled hair.

That's the downside of having long hair.With the idea of ​​​​helping her companions, Alice squeezed into the driver's seat and planned to help.

Unexpectedly, a piece of her own hair was also tangled in it.

"Ivan! Help me!" Alice slapped the carport, and Ivan Bell came to inquire.From her perspective, she could see two men and one woman rolled into a ball in an indecent posture, squeezed into the cramped driver's seat and unable to move.

"Hahahaha! Oh my god!"

Ivan Bell laughed crazily, and she slapped the railing vigorously, without any intention of rescuing her companions.There is a saying that the tides are changing. How Wei Xi'an "failed to save others" at the beginning is how she is standing by and watching now.

How did they get back to Pelged?Just think that Ivan Bell finally found out his conscience.

Chapter 96 On the importance of keeping a fake identity honestly (1)

After returning from the Forest of Tears, Alice and her companions kept silent about today's itinerary, especially why they stepped into the gate of Pergade with a look of embarrassment.Except for Ivan Bell, no one wanted to mention the embarrassing incident that happened in the driver's seat of the carriage.

Even during dinner time, they didn't even look at each other. They were immersed in the plates in front of them, as if what was on them was not ordinary steaks, but some kind of luminous cuisine from the Far East.

Then, when the light broke through the darkness and the sun slowly rose the next morning, the lingering embarrassment among everyone was finally relieved.

Ivan Bell sat on a chair, rubbing his sore cheeks with one hand.She said: "Okay, I won't laugh. Pfft, but I really didn't expect that you didn't dare to see each other's face for most of the night just because of that incident!"

Alice glared at Ivan Bell resentfully, then lowered her head and continued to flip through the "Adventurer's Manual" in her hand.She borrowed this from a member of Pergade. In order not to make a fool of herself in the Adventurer's Guild today, Alice felt it was necessary to learn it beforehand.

Yes, according to the itinerary, Alice decided to go to the Adventurer's Guild today to register her and Ivan Bell's identities, and then go to the bank to redeem her bounty.If there was still time left, she might be able to go to Longmu Chamber of Commerce to see the land she had acquired.

"Why are you so busy today!?" Wei Xi'an, who had just arrived in the hall, said in surprise. After hearing Alice talk about the itinerary she had planned for her companions, his hand that was about to open the chair froze. In mid-air.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, your reward won't fly away in front of your eyes." Wei Xi'an still pulled out the chair and sat down. He put his hands on the table and said, "Take your time."

"Aren't I excited..." Alice muttered softly, the palm-sized pass kept turning over in her hand.

"It's still some time before the Adventurer's Guild opens, so let's eat something first. Today there are freshly baked cream cookies and freshly squeezed juice."

A gentle and steady voice came, and Alice knew it was Caschia without even thinking.She turned around and reached out to take the tray handed to her by Caschia.

A large portion of creamy yellow cookies and four cups of orange-red juice.After getting rid of all the food, it was just time for the Adventurer's Guild to open its doors.
