Teresa won't starve

However, this idea was only turned around in my mind, and it was immediately rejected by the 'girl'.

Because the distance between the city and the city is too far, even a professional team dare not say that they can cross the two places intact.Not to mention just a spoiled little girl.

But what did that have to do with her?

"Forget it!"

The 'girl' quickly put this question behind her mind, mentioned the salute she brought, and walked to a sleigh cart with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

After registering things on the sleigh cart one by one, the 'girl' raised her legs and straddled it.

Then, looking at the little girl who was still standing next to the house, I realized that I seemed to have forgotten to tell her, so I raised the volume and greeted her: "Hey!! Don't continue standing in a daze!! I'll take you to a good place!!"

—What kind of nonsense is this talking about! ?

It's also that the 'girl' is used to being rude, and she doesn't have a sense of propriety when talking to others.By the time she realized that such words should not be said to girls, otherwise it would easily cause misunderstandings, but she had already said all the stupid things.

Just about to explain to Teresa.

The little girl had already run to the side of the sleigh, looked down at the mount that looked a bit like a snowmobile, and knocked on the wooden shell on it.

"Didn't it mean that the means of transportation couldn't be used a long time ago? Can it actually be used?"

"Oh, you said that!"

Seeing that the little girl didn't take it seriously, the 'girl' breathed a sigh of relief, and patiently explained to her:

"Actually, it's not that it can't be used, but the car is broken and can't find suitable parts for maintenance. In addition, it is too cold to freeze the fuel tank, and there is a lack of a lot of usable fuel. After a long time, no one will use it anymore."

"Then why do you still..."

The 'girl' didn't answer her question immediately, but lifted the cloth covering the sleigh, revealing the cylindrical transparent fuel tank hidden inside.

It's just that the fuel tank is filled with a dark green fluorescent liquid that looks like evil energy.

"Here! This is liquefied Greek, a new type of fuel extracted from Greek ore. One can can provide the car with running for three days without worrying about freezing."

"hope?"

Teresa is very sure that what she said is not 'tin' or any other homonym, from the shape of the mouth of 'girl' to the pronunciation can be judged very accurately——

This is the meaning of 'hope'.

"Well, it's not a rare thing."

'Girl' gradually got used to the little girl's ignorance, and stretched out his hand to pull her over and let her sit in front of him: "If you're interested, just ask someone when you get back."

"Will you just tell me no?"

"I still have to drive! And you are holding me tight, be careful to throw yourself out!"

Having said that, the 'girl' was not very reassured about her.

He took a belt from the bag behind him and tied her around her waist to himself.In this way, as long as the 'girl' can stabilize, there is no need to worry about throwing Theresa out.

"..."

"By the way, it's been so long—"

Due to the seat, the 'girl' could only see the top of Theresa's head when she lowered her head.So I didn't notice Teresa's speechless face: "I don't even know your name yet!"

"Theresa Apocalis."

"Apocalypse..."

After thinking about it carefully, 'Girl' was confirmed to be a surname I had never heard of.

"What about you?"

"My name is--"

'Girl' turned around in her mind, and a completely unfamiliar name popped out of her mouth: "Alicia!"

"real name?"

"uh-huh!"

"...That's fine too."

1441 "Zulag"

Since the sleigh does not have a windshield, it is inevitable that the face will be blown by the cold wind when accelerating.

Alicia took off the windshield on her head and put it on for Teresa.

She herself has already adapted to the cold wind blowing into her eyes, so she doesn't have to worry about accidentally causing a car accident.

Of course, even so, it is inevitable that there is some carelessness.

But she is used to being undisciplined, and she prefers to be more casual when doing things.

Coupled with the popularity of new tools, the neighborhood is more stable, so there is no need to worry too much about being chased and killed by a group of evil spirits while driving halfway.

The sled car only drove for a short time before they came to the outside of a mine.I just saw a few people guarding the entrance here, so I walked over to say hello.

"Hey! Lee, and Lawrence."

"You're back, Hi..."

The only old man over half a century old among the guards was about to call out Alicia's 'name'.He saw Alicia blink his right eye at him, and he immediately closed his mouth when he realized something.

Alicia pointed her thumb at the little girl who was still looking around: "I met this child outside, and I brought it back without discussing it with you."

"It's nothing, as long as you know it in your heart."

I don't know if Alicia often does this, or if it's not a big deal to bring someone back.The old man smiled kindly at Teresa, and let them walk into the mine behind him.

Not the same as when he was outside, not even when he was in Solemnis.

As soon as she entered the mine, Teresa felt obvious warmth.As if walking from winter to warm early summer, the sharp change in temperature made her a little uncomfortable.

Seeing how she shrank her neck, Alicia thought she was too hot to take off, so she took off her coat in front of her: "There is a magma pool deep down, Although it has not been active for many years, the geothermal heat from below will make it very warm here, and it can even be said to be hot..."

"Compared to that, can you explain what you're doing?"

"Do you even need to ask? Take off your clothes!"

"Take off..."

Teresa has never seen anyone who can speak so confidently, and the venue is not at her own home.

Simply - dare not!

"Are you sure? Here?"

"What's wrong here? There's no one else here! And I'm wearing clothes!"

As if to prove her words, the clothes that she had already rolled up to her chest revealed half of her pink bra.

"You give me enough time!!!"

......

The brain-dead scene was finally blocked by Teresa—it was postponed.

As they gradually went deeper into the ground, the surrounding environment became more and more stuffy due to the influence of geothermal heat; except for Teresa who was able to maintain the original appearance, Alicia had no intention of chatting with her.

She just wants to find a place to cool down for herself now.

It is a pity that as a hunter, as the guard force of this mining city, her residence is not arranged in the place closest to the surface.

Instead, they had to take a simple elevator all the way to the depths of the ground, only to see a single residence near a 'ore farm' that looked like a teapot.

It's a pity that she didn't look carefully, and was dragged in by Alicia who was in a hurry.

He quickly put all kinds of things aside, and put warm water in the bathroom to cool people down without catching cold.

I took off the excess fabric on my body and was about to lie down in the bathtub when I realized that there was a little girl outside.

He walked out without wearing a bath towel or anything:

"I've already put in the water, do you want to come and wash together..."

"Go back to me!!! Lower limit girl!!!"

1442 "Rumors of the Seven Capitals"

Mine city, or steam city 'Zulag', is the name of this city.

Whether the specific location is in the south or north of Solemnis, or whether it is in the east or west is difficult to say clearly.Because many people, including Alicia, have not been to other cities in at least their generation, so they cannot study.

But Alicia knew a lot, and neither Kallen nor Sakura had ever told her the truth.

For example--

There are seven such cities in this world: Solemnis, Zulag, Hetok, Hein...

The seven cities were homelands established under the leadership of seven rulers, but with the outbreak of a war, three of them died, and two chose to leave and hide in the mountains. Most people didn't even know whether they were still alive.

Of the remaining two, one is the current Archbishop.The other, Alicia said, was only confirmed to be alive, but has disappeared.

So on the bright side, the archbishop is the ruler with the highest status.

of course.

This identity has no effect on Teresa.

Let alone the supreme ruler, even if the opponent wants to become the emperor who conquers the world or something, Teresa will still give him an iron fist on both sides of the face.

Let him understand a truth - Theresa Carrying a Grudge is not something to be trifled with.

......

Except this.

Teresa was interested and asked, Alicia did not answer her question before.That is, some things related to Lihuaxi.

Only then did we know that the so-called Greek ore is the associated iron ore affected by the cursed stone, and the extraction method of liquefied Greek ore is to immerse the Greek ore in water, wait for a period of 'fermentation', and the Greek in the ore will be leached into the water.

Then, the excess water was evaporated through distillation technology, and what was obtained was enough energy to support the operation of the entire Zulag—the liquefied Greek.

"Isn't this the Soul Steel and the Honkai energy storage battery?"

Although soul steel is actually an adaptive Houkai energy metal composed of nano-robots, it is not a precious resource smelted from pure natural ores; Soul steel has many similarities.

There is nothing to say about the latter, they are almost the same in essence.

......

After that, Alicia went on a mission.

After all, she is a hunter, not an idler or a miner, so she cannot stay at home all the time.But Teresa was left to take care of the house.

In addition to not knowing how to arrange Teresa, there is also trying to see if she can find her relatives.

Because whether it was taking her to live in her own home, or arranging a place for her to settle down in the city, Alicia felt that it was not the most suitable choice.

It's just that it's impossible to have a result in a short time.

......

click!

"It's exactly what I thought."

Looking at the hollow on the fingertips that only lasted for a moment, and the completely shattered curse stone.

After more than a dozen experiments, Teresa finally mastered the fusion of the two Houkai energies and the method of tearing apart the space rift in this stable world.

It's a pity that the energy provided by one or two disaster stones is too little, not only unable to support a large enough space-time tunnel, but also unable to last for a second.

But thanks to this, Teresa didn't blow up Alicia's house, or suck it into an unknown dimension like Nanami's house.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky.

Alicia has no idea she's back with a ticking time bomb.

Coincidentally.

When Alicia opened the door and came in, she happened to see the curse stone on the table that she hadn't had time to throw away.Even though the cursed stone has turned into residue, it can still be recognized from the 'filth' faintly permeating from it.

"How do you have this thing? And—"

As he spoke, he walked over to pick up a few pills, rubbed them in his hands, but found that they were no longer usable, so he frowned and put them back on the table.
