The Paladin on the Infinite Tour.

And it's eight o'clock in the morning.

Sitting in the rest area of ​​the Paradise of the Past, leaning against the expensive sofa left by Eden, Alicia, who was usually active and enthusiastic, now looked like she was lost in thought, her beautiful eyebrows slightly knitted, The distress and entanglement between his brows was visible to everyone.

She was thinking about something, something very important.

And at the same time that Alicia showed this posture like Auguste Rodin's Thinker sculpture, the device in the hall of the Paradise of the Past suddenly lit up, and a ray of light quietly flew out from it, falling. The figure of Eden appeared on the ground.

Although the Thirteen Heroes usually stay in their own data fields, Eden, like Alicia, is the kind of person who comes to the lobby from time to time - to drink, listen to music, or play. musical instruments.

Of course it was the same this time.

However, looking at Alicia who was lost in thought over there, Eden couldn't help but sit next to her curiously: "Are you thinking about something? Alicia?"

"Huh? Eden?"

Hearing Eden's voice, Alicia realized that she was beside her: "When did you come? Why didn't you say anything to me?"

"Just arrived. However, you didn't even notice my approach. It seems that you are really thinking about something very important." Eden smiled, "The thing that can make Ellie think about it to this point... ....Haha, could it be related to those three successors?"

"I can't hide anything from you, my dear Eden."

"After all, I can't think of anything else that would make Ellie brood like this right now."

Alicia smiled slightly and relaxed her frown: "Well, Eden, you are right, it is indeed related to them... to be precise, it is related to Exia. "

Is it related to Exia?

Eden's expression trembled slightly, showing some interest - she knew Alicia very well, although she liked everyone equally, but in terms of attention, Alicia would definitely pay more attention. Girls, such as Kiana and Raiden Mei, seemed to Eden to be Alicia's favorite type.

In other words, Alicia likes all cute and beautiful girls.

But now he is paying more attention to a boy... I can't say it's surprising, but I can't say it's not surprising either.

"What happened to Alexia?"

"He said he could take me out of here if I wanted to."

Alicia told her about the invitation that Alexia sent to her yesterday.

After hearing these words, Eden, who had already picked up a glass of red wine and was about to drink it, immediately stopped in mid-air for a moment.

Taking Alicia away from the paradise of the past?

this kind of thing...

"Sure enough, you also find it incredible, don't you? Eden." Alicia did not miss the changes in Eden, "I was also shocked. As data memory, we were taken away from the paradise of the past. ....According to the successors we have met so far, the technology of modern civilization should not have developed to that point yet."

Even if it has developed to that point, taking the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire away from the paradise of the past - this is something that most people would not want to do.

This is a concept that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. [The Thirteen Heroes Chasing Fire can only exist in the paradise of the past]. Both the successors who came here and the Thirteen Heroes Chasing Fire themselves are convinced of this idea. There is no doubt that they themselves have long admitted that they have nowhere to go but here.

Unable to break away, unable to leave, I can only live here forever as data.

Every hero knows this.

"I see."

After drinking the wine from the golden cup, Eden understood the situation of his friend: "You are considering whether to leave with Ixia, right?"

"Yes, to be honest, I am very confused." Alicia smiled helplessly, "I admit that I am very interested in the situation in the outside world. What is the outside world like now? What are the civilizations of this era? How beautiful, how many beautiful legends and things this era has given birth to... If I can really leave here, I would like to witness it all with my own eyes."

The location of Purana is thousands of meters underground.

Alicia can be sure that her true self will never leave her youth and good years here. The real Alicia will only spend all her time and energy looking for beauty, and will only fully satisfy her own desires. Before she has a hobby, she will not stay in one place forever.

In the past, it was because there was no way to leave the paradise of the past, so Alicia stayed willingly, but now... After Alexia said that, Alicia also knew the Pandora in her heart. The box has already been opened by him.

"However, I am also very reluctant to leave everyone in the Paradise of the Past."

Alicia looked distressed again.

"We have lived here together for more than 5 years. Everyone here is my irreplaceable family and friends. It would be too heartless and unjust for me to leave you and go to the outside world alone. "

Good things should be shared with friends.

Alicia will always remember such a simple truth, and this is also the source of her current distress and meditation——

Eden put down his wine glass: "So, Aili, you are worried about us."

"Well... that's it." Alicia looked at Eden, "It might be a little troublesome to convince the boys, so I want to start with the girls first, and the initial goal is~~ ~~"

With a curl of her mouth, Alicia threw herself into Eden's arms: "Eden~~~~ Are you willing to go out with me?"

An expected development.

After knowing each other for so long, Eden has seen Alicia's reaction too many times, but...

(Going to a new era?)

Eden thought about this silently in his mind.

I have to admit that this is a very tempting proposal. There should be many people among the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire who are interested in this proposal - for example, Qianjie, this paradise of the past is still too small for him. It was a little too small, so small that he couldn't really enjoy it to the fullest.For example, Velvet, the great mechanic and magician, will definitely find that she has a strong interest in the development of science and technology of civilization...

As for Eden himself——

"I......"

“Sister Ellie————————!!!”

Just as Eden opened his mouth to give Alicia an answer, an exclamation from Kiana suddenly came from the guest room, and then Alicia and Eden saw them running away in a hurry. Kiana came out and didn't even have time to tie up her hair.

"Big, something bad is going to happen! Sister Ai Li!"

After running to Alicia, Kiana grabbed her hand with a look of horror on her face.

Seeing how frightened she was, Alicia and Eden also became more serious.

"What's wrong? Kiana, has something big happened?"

"My brother is missing!"

27. Eden suffered from temptation

Alexia is missing?

Alicia and Eden looked at each other, and then Alicia said: "Is this... something that needs to be so urgent? Kiana, it is already morning according to the time outside. , maybe Alexia has already gotten up to explore the paradise?"

"No, this is absolutely impossible, Sister Ellie!"

Kiana said it with all her heart!

"There's no way my brother can get up earlier than me! He has turned into a real lazy guy in the past few months!"

"Slacker?"

This name made Alicia and Eden feel confused for a while.

The two of them had only interacted with Alexia for less than yesterday, and they didn't know him well. But even so, the word "lazy" should have nothing to do with Alexia anyway, right?At least that's what they think.

"Um...Kiana, just to be on the safe side, let me ask first, how does Alexia usually live at home? Is he really as lazy as you say?"

"Hmm... To be lazy, I can only say that I am lazy in the morning."

Kiana, who calmed down a little, talked about Alexia's daily routine at home.

In terms of types, there are basically four types - when Bianca and Rita are there, when Bianca and Rita are not but Anna is there, when all three are there, and when all three are away.

If Bianca and Rita were at home, Alexia would actually get up very early in the morning. After all, there is a hardworking person like Bianca sleeping with him, and Rita would occasionally join in, so There was no chance for Alexia to sleep in.

And if Anna is at home, she will get up a little later than usual. After all, Anna is basically only at home on weekends, so it is normal to sleep late. If the two of them sleep together, as long as Anna gets up first, Alexia will definitely Will get up too.

It goes without saying that there are three people present.

The laziest time for Alexia is actually when those three people are not around, because no one wakes him up immediately, but fortunately there is still Bronya at home - in the end, Alexia Whether you get up early or not all depends on which fiancées are at home.

As for the day after that, there is nothing worth talking about. At most, different women may appear in Alexia's bed at night depending on the situation.

Under normal circumstances, Bianca will definitely be there, and there is a chance that Rita will be there. If Anna is at home, it will definitely be Anna, and Bianca will go to sleep with Rita.If the three of them are gone, Alexia will be alone in the vacant room. Of course, this also depends on whether Bronya can sneak away.

"Uh......"

After listening to Kiana's description, Alicia and Eden didn't know what to think at first.

how to say......

"Sleeping with a different girl every day... Alexia's life is really a bit... too happy." Alicia held it in for a while before she came out. In this sentence, "Obviously he seems to be a very well-behaved and innocent child, but I didn't expect that he has such a wild and free side."

"Haha~~~ I feel a bit like the king of a certain kingdom." Eden sighed, "That's why, Miss Kiana, you are so panicked."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Kiana nodded.

If it were at home, it would not be uncommon for Alexia to wake up early, but this was the paradise of the past. How could Alexia get up early if her four fiancées were not here?Even before setting off, Bronya and the others gave Kiana and Raiden Mei the task of getting Alexia up, but they have just gotten up now!

Alexia actually got up earlier than them?

This is no different than the sun coming out in the west!

"In addition, when I just went to my brother's place, I saw that his room was a little messy, as if something was missing." Kiana continued to talk about the clues she found, "That... ...Sister Ai Li, there shouldn’t be any thieves in the Paradise of the Past, right?”

"thief?"

Alicia thought for a while: "Well~~~~If there is one, there is indeed a cute and lively righteous thief. Although it is not certain whether she did it, but if there is something missing in the Paradise of the Past, If you have something, or if you want to inquire about something, then she is definitely the right person to contact."

"As expected, it's Pado, Ellie."

"Probably. By the way, Kiana probably doesn't know her yet."

Padu—whose full name is Pado Felice, the last seat of Zhuhuo Yingjie, engraved with [Empty Dream]—is the most active person in the Paradise of the Past besides Alicia, and the operator of the Paradise of the Past. A shop selling all kinds of magical and interesting props.

Kiana raised her eyebrows: "Does that mean that my brother's disappearance is related to Padofelis?"

"No, Kiana, I think Alexia is not missing at all, and it has nothing to do with Little Pado." Alicia shook her head, "In this paradise of the past, there is no place where Alexia will go. There is only one place in the paradise, this is definitely true. As for little Pado... I think she just wanted to [buy goods] everywhere out of habit, but she accidentally found Aixia's place. There are a lot of [good things], so I couldn’t help itching my hands, so I took one or two of them for myself.”

This is Patophilis's old problem. As a righteous thief, she always wants to get something. Most of the people in the Paradise of the Past have passed along some less important things to her.

(However, since Little Pado took away Alexia’s things...that means that when she slipped away to Alexia’s side, Alexia was already gone, right?)

Alicia knows some of Padofelis's rules of survival. In her own words, it is [run away when you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, survival is important], and such a person who is completely sensitive to crises Padofelis will probably realize the difference in strength when she meets Alexia, and she will never dare to mess around.

In other words...

"Hmm~~~ It seems that we are going to look for Little Pado." Alicia broke free from Eden's arms, "Get ready, Kiana, today I will take you to look for him in the Paradise. elder brother."

"Eh? Sister Aili, do you want to help me?"

"Of course, we can't just let you enter the paradise by yourself, right? Besides, it's best to ask Mei Yi. It would be good for us to go on a small three-person trip." Alicia seemed a little eager to try, "Yes. Yes, Eden. Regarding the matter we just talked about...the answer can be given after some time."

After saying that, Alicia took Kiana's hand and ran towards the guest room, preparing to take Raiden Mei with her to find someone.

Looking at Alicia's leaving back, Eden was silent for a while, then stood up and went to the wine cabinet filled with various famous wines, reached out and took down one of the bottles - all the wines here The wine is just the memory of Eden, the memory of the fine wine she tasted in the previous civilization.

But not the bottle she was holding now.

This bottle of wine was the wine of this era that was brought to her by a successor named Raven when she returned to the Paradise of the Past.

Eden once drank all the famous wines of previous civilizations. Although the bottle brought by the raven was also a fine wine, it was still a bit bland compared to her memory.But it was such a bottle of wine that every time Eden tasted it, he didn't want to put it down no matter what.

Because she can taste [temptation] from this bottle of wine - temptation from [modern civilization] that she doesn't know.

"Leave here...?"

Eden poured himself a full glass and stared at the wine in the glass with his golden eyes.

28. Changes in the Paradise of the Past

In the Paradise of the Past.

Just like yesterday when Alexia was led in by Alicia, after seeing the real scene in the Paradise of the Past, Kiana and Raiden Mei could not help but fall into unprecedented shock!

Kiana: "Is this... the inside of the Paradise of the Past?"

Alicia: "Yes, how is it? Isn't it beautiful?"

Not so much beautiful...

Raiden Mei said with emotion: "It should be said that I feel like I have entered a [dream] place. I have never even dreamed of such a scene."

The paradise of the past.

paradise.

The name itself has some dreamy meaning, and Paradise is a concept in a general sense, which inherently has a dreamy part.
