In order to prevent unscrupulous people from taking advantage of the chaos to do unscrupulous things, and to prevent the killing of sirens from happening, Lesperno issued several laws.
One of them is that when all shops sell handicrafts made of siren scales, they must include a statement proving the source of their raw materials.
Alice is holding such a statement in her hand, which states that the raw material of this pair of earrings comes from a Siren named Severna.
And this siren is the proprietress of that shop.
"I didn't expect this." Alice put on the earrings. The light material of the earrings did not put any burden on her earlobes.
Ivan Bell stood opposite Alice. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Alice carefully. After half a minute, she nodded and said that these earrings fit well on Alice's ears.
Starlight also agreed. She lay on Alice's shoulder and fiddled with the earrings with her hands.The earrings were changing colors as they swayed, making Starlight fascinated.
After buying the jewelry, Alice and her party continued shopping on the street.They walked along the street in the direction of the palace. After walking a long distance, they found a place to rest for a while.
They were sitting on an outdoor seat in a pub, with a large parasol above their heads to protect them from the sun.
This kind of leisurely and comfortable time can easily make people feel sleepy, which is what happened to Xingguang. She lay lazily on the table and opened her eyes with difficulty, as if they would close at any time.
At this time, Ivan Bell came over with the ice cream they ordered earlier. This is also one of Les Penaud's specialties. Ice cream is not common in Nirnati.
After Alice and her party finished repairing, they got up and set off again.This time, they arrived near the square.
However, rather than being called a square, it is more appropriate to call it a combination of a square and a market.The entire square is surrounded by vendors, much like Les Penaud is surrounded by the ocean.After wandering around among the vendors and taking some time to make her way through the crowds, Alice could see the square.
In fact, all the squares in the world look similar. If Alice were asked to choose a square that was most refreshing to her, she would still choose Ander's.
After all, hidden underground entrances are not common.
The square in Les Penaud looked ordinary, with minstrels playing impromptu tunes and jugglers performing.
This is no different from Ander, but there are a few more things here.
A roped-off area in the square was used as an open-air stage, and many people were sitting on the benches in front of the stage to watch the play.
Alice and Ivan Bell were attracted by the laughter from the crowd. They looked at each other and walked there in tacit understanding.
After buying tickets and taking seats, Alice and her party of three became the audience.They sat next to each other and watched the performance on the simple stage together.
What is being performed now is a comedy story called "A Stupid Man and Three Salted Fishes".The content of the story roughly tells the story of a fisherman who caught three talking salted fish one day and all kinds of funny things happened when he tried to sell them.Although this story is an original play by the troupe, it has received a lot of praise from the audience because it is close to life and the acting and dialogue skills are very good.
Unfortunately, Alice and the others arrived too late, as the play was almost coming to an end.But the last few scenes were still very interesting, especially the scene when the three salted fish were about to be put into the frying pan, which left a deep impression on Alice.
Because of this, Alice came up with the idea of "wanting to watch the whole show", and she deliberately found the person in charge of the troupe after the show.

Chapter 116 The last performance
"Sorry to interrupt, I want to ask something." Alice shouted to the man in front of her.
Alice was very satisfied with the performance that just ended, but she didn't have time to start watching from the first act. She and her companions were left behind too much plot.
In order to see the complete performance, Alice deliberately found the director of the troupe after the performance. She wanted to ask when they would perform the play again next time.
The man Alice found happened to be the leader of the troupe, his name was Renard.He is a middle-aged man. Although he is not very old, his black hair is already turning gray.
Renard reacted when he heard Alice's voice. He stopped retracting the rope, turned around and looked at Alice and asked, "What do you want?"
"Can I take the liberty of asking, when is your next performance? It's a pity that we couldn't catch the whole show." Alice said.
Renard frowned and replied with some embarrassment: "Ah... Well... Actually, the performance just now was our last performance. After today, we will not perform any drama again."
Last performance?
Alice was speechless for a moment. Even now, she could still hear the audience staying in the square talking about the performance just now.Judging from their cheerful tone, the theater performance was quite successful.
Then it wasn't popularity that caused the troupe to decide not to perform anymore.
"But your performance was excellent? Why did you make the decision to 'stop the performance' when you could obviously continue to perform?" Alice felt that her tone might be a bit aggressive, but she still expressed her thoughts. .
Renard shook his head and said: "Although I am very grateful that you like our performance, the things that have been decided cannot be changed. I am very sorry that we cannot bring another new performance to the audience."
Renard's tone was firm, leaving Alice unable to say any more words of persuasion.As Renard said, she had no way to interfere in the private affairs of this troupe. As a mere audience member, she could only leave with her companions with regret.
"Looking at the frustrated look on your face, you didn't ask?" Ivan Bell handed the pancake in his hand to Alice.
After the result, Alice took a few bites as if to vent her anger, and then said: "They won't perform anymore. I asked, but nothing happened."
When Xingguang heard this, he also lowered his head and lifted the pebbles on the ground with his toes dejectedly.
After they finished speaking, they planned to leave the square, but before they took a few steps, they stopped because of the sound of conversation not far away.
The person speaking was Renard and the man who had been the leading actor in the previous drama performance. They seemed to be talking about the next performance.
Alice pricked up her ears and listened. Fortunately, they were not far away from the two people. Although there was some noise around them, they could still hear the general content of the conversation clearly.
"Listen, Romeo. This is my decision, but it is also the leader's decision. The props we have now cannot allow us to perform other plays." Facing the aggressive young man, Renard looked helpless and confused. irritable.
This young man named Romeo was the one who starred in "A Fool and Three Salted Fishes" just now.In the past few days, he has been talking to Renard about the troupe.
"Then why don't we just perform the same thing next time!? Didn't some audience members come to you just now to talk about this? We don't have to wait for the leader to come back!"
Romeo's words were loud, coupled with his excited tone, causing everyone around him to look sideways at him.
Knowing that there was something wrong with him, Romeo's tone softened a lot when he spoke next, but the feeling of dissatisfaction still existed between the lines of his words.
Renard shook his head and sighed deeply. His fatigue was even felt by Alice standing far away.
"You also know what kind of person our leader is. And aren't the rules he set the reason why our troupe can continue to this day? Stop being willful, Romeo."
After saying this, both Renard and Romeo fell silent.The expressions on their faces couldn't be clearly seen, but judging by their movements, they probably gave up arguing with each other.
Alice saw them quickly put away the ropes used to fence off the venue, and then several people ran over to resist taking away the seats.
Going back and forth, there are always the same few people coming to clean up the place, and they don't even change out of their costumes.
Alice and Ivan Bell both recognized them, as they were both people who had previously appeared in the show.
"It seems that they really can't perform other plays. With so few people, what else can they perform?" Ivan Bell observed for a while and then concluded.
Alice nodded in agreement. Perhaps this theater company could no longer sustain itself. What a pity. She still wanted to watch that play again.
Things that cannot be changed cannot be changed after all. Alice and her party left the square.Behind them, the actors from the troupe were still working hard to clean up the scene.
The sky darkened, and Alice and her party, who returned to the Kendrick family palace again, opened the door.Alice
As he stepped onto the steps, he was greeted by Vician.
Visian had a sad look on his face. He was holding a scroll tightly in his hand and muttering something similar to: "Those idiots who are looking for trouble."
In the relationship with her companions, Alice asked: "What happened? You don't look very good."
Vician stopped muttering, looked at Alice and said, "It's about the Poseidon Festival. The troupe that was originally scheduled to perform at the theater suddenly went on strike, saying that they were ordered not to come to Las Peno."
"Can't come to Les Penauds? You invited them, but they didn't come?" Alice said in surprise. The Kendricks are the royal family of Les Penauds. What kind of troupe has the guts to refuse them? invite?
"Who knows, I'm about to go to their troupe to have a look. I won't know what happened to that troupe until I get there."
Vician shrugged and started walking without stopping again. He walked past Alice and walked out of the door.
Wei Xi'an's back completely disappeared from Alice's sight, and she did not delve into the matter.Thinking of washing off the sweat stains on her body as soon as possible, she walked up to the second floor and returned to her room without looking back.
Close the door, lock it, take off your and Xingguang's clothes and get into the bathroom.
After completing this series of actions, Alice and Starlight soaked in the bathtub in the bathroom and enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by warm water.Alice immersed half of her face in the water. The temperature of the water pouring out of the magic crystal was just right. Through the slowly rising smoke, she saw Starlight curiously playing with the small square in her hand.
Alice had never seen that thing before, and she didn't understand the reason why such a small square would appear in the bathroom.It's just that that thing is very interesting. It will form some foam when it is touched with water, and it also smells like mint.
After getting tired of playing with the little square, Starlight began to pester Alice to wash her hair.Alice accepted happily, and she helped Starlight wash her hair and then take care of herself.
Half an hour later, Alice and Starlight walked out of the bathroom with fresh fragrance.Put on new clothes and go downstairs to enjoy an aristocratic dinner.
The day passed like this, and at night, Alice experienced something that made her dumbfounded.

117 Bear Kid
In the middle of the night, Alice turned over in her sleep. She fumbled around on the bed for a while and suddenly woke up when she found that there was nothing around her.
Gone!Starlight, who was sleeping next to her, disappeared! !
Alice quickly turned on the table lamp next to the bed, and the warm yellow light immediately filled the entire room.This brightness made Alice feel a little more at ease. After she panicked, she thought for a while, then began to close her eyes, trying to use her mind to get in touch with the missing starlight.
A few minutes later, Starlight's voice reached Alice's head. Her voice was very clear and there was nothing strange about it.
Alice's hanging heart finally let go, and she began to blame Starlight for leaving suddenly.
"Starlight! Why did you leave the room without saying anything! Do you know that this makes me very worried!" Alice shouted angrily to Starlight from a distance.
This is true. Alice was indeed in a panic just now. She was almost about to rush out of the door and yell.
"Why is the master angry? If something happens to Xingguang, he can return to the master at any time!" Xingguang was very confused.
Alice tried to organize words to educate Starlight, but as she thought about it, she seemed not to be so angry anymore.After taking a breath to calm down, Alice continued: "Forget it... Where are you now, Starlight? I'm coming to find you."
With that said, Alice stood up and put on a windbreaker. She planned to set off to bring the other party back as soon as Starlight told her whereabouts.
However, Starlight's answer was beyond her expectations.
"Xingguang is on the tree! By the way, there is an interesting person next to Xingguang. She has been dangling on the branches so much fun!" Xingguang's tone was brisk, as if she had encountered something interesting.
But Alice was shocked by this. It was on a tree!
Alice paused in buttoning her buttons. She was stunned for a while, and then she ran to the balcony.
On the other side, Xingguang was still talking to her remotely, and she kept talking about how weird the guy next to her was.
Speaking of the person next to Starlight, Alice has finally met him.Just when she walked to the balcony and looked both ways, she saw two people hanging on a tree by a window on the third floor.
One of the people hanging on the branch seemed to have noticed Alice. She stood on the branch and waved her hands desperately to Alice.
At the same time, Alice communicated with Starlight and understood that the person waving was Starlight herself.
"If you just hold on for a little while longer, I'll find a way to help you get down from the tree!" Alice promised the two people on the tree.
Alice still has a way to get Starlight and another person down from the tree safely, but her magic is far from that powerful. At this time, she needs the help of the staff.
Staves can help magicians increase the power of magic, and are also useful for auxiliary magic.Alice picked up the staff from the sofa and returned to the balcony.
As the magic was cast, the two people far away in the tree felt that their bodies became light and buoyant, and within a few seconds they gradually floated in the air.
Seeing Starlight and the others getting closer to the balcony where Alice was, Alice only let out a breath after the two people landed completely on the balcony.
