Alice looked down at the small medicine bottle in her hand in confusion. The label hanging on the bottle indicated that it was a bottle of "Ecstasy". Just adding a few drops to the wine can make people fall asleep in one second.
This bottle of unknown potion was still accepted by Alice. She waved goodbye to her companions gratefully and returned to her room.
Alice spent the next six hours in her sleep, and the last two hours she was dragged up to prepare for the party.
Alice put on the white dress, and she hesitantly put the butterfly-shaped hair accessory on her head. She had a feeling that this hair accessory was very important, although this feeling was very vague.After putting on a full dress, Robinson knocked on Alice's door with cosmetics.Alice let her in. After entering the door, Robinson started to apply makeup on Alice without any delay. She also painted Alice in the same state during the Festival of Light.
After going back and forth for almost an hour and a half, a brand new Alice was born.Alice carefully lifted up her skirt and walked to the hall, where her companions gathered to prepare to see Alice off for the banquet.
After a while, the person sent by Thief's Wrist to pick up Alice arrived as scheduled.The monsters were still familiar. The black-furred familiar was pulling a white carriage behind him. The carriage looked as luxurious as Nevisto's carriage.
"Then I'll go!"
Alice took a deep breath and took the first step, then the second and third steps... She got on the carriage pulled by the monster and disappeared into the sunset as everyone watched.
--------------------------------
The first thing that caught the eye was the candles on both sides of the road. The flames of the candles illuminated Alice's path.The familiars who sent her here turned into a burst of black mist and disappeared after Alice got out of the car, leaving her alone in the entire courtyard.
Alice stood there looking around. She didn't really want to move forward. She thought it would be nice if she had a pair of wings.
Then she can fly back to Pergaard from here.
However, she still had to face it. Alice walked deep into the courtyard on six-centimeter high heels. It was said that these high heels were sponsored by Robinson. They said that the material of the heels was very special and they were very suitable for stepping on "special materials". on the surface".
Alice pretended to ignore Robinson's glance at her feet as he described the high heels to her.
Walking along the path illuminated by candlelight, within a short while I saw the man standing next to the table and chairs.That man gave Alice a familiar feeling, as if she and him had walked a long way, side by side and holding hands.
Alice did not recognize the man, but the man recognized Alice.Samuel came forward eagerly after seeing Alice. He was also wearing a dress today, which seemed to match Alice's long dress.
"I have been looking forward to your arrival, Miss Alice Black." Samuel took Alice's hand and placed a kiss on the back of it.His rose-red eyes stared at Alice intently, as if looking at a lost treasure.
Alice didn't dare to move. She was brought to the chair by Samuel. When she sat down, she was still thinking about what the other person's look just meant.
Samuel kept taking out snacks from the dining cart nearby. Plate after plate of exquisite desserts were placed on the table, and then a steaming black tea was placed in front of Alice.
Alice came back to her senses because of the sound of the porcelain touching the table. She looked at Samuel sitting opposite her and asked the first question of the night: "Why me?"
"Why you...?" Samuel put down the tea cup in his hand, his eyes became a little sharp, but this sharpness was quickly replaced by tenderness.
"Ah, is that so...you don't remember. It doesn't matter, I will remind you again. Don't worry, my dear Alice." Samuel said.
——TBC——
Chapter 68 Arranged...?
"Don't worry, my dear Alice, I will remind you of everything." Samuel's eyes were tender, and he whispered to Alice. His tone sounded like he was treating his own Like a lover who has lost his memory.
And the "girlfriend who lost her memory" is naturally Alice sitting opposite Samuel.Alice stared at Samuel warily. Everything this man said seemed to her to be fabricated.
She neither knew the man named "Samuel" nor had she ever met him.So she had absolutely no reason to get... "special treatment" from the other party.
"I just met you today, Mr. Samuel." Alice said firmly.
Samuel just blinked at Alice when he heard this. He was not offended by Alice's cold tone. He continued to say in his low and gentle voice: "You just think that, but in fact we have met. We spent a long time together, and we were..."
Samuel began to describe various past events between the two of them, starting from how they met in the ruins and ending with how they separated.Samuel described to Alice in detail the past she had "forgotten".
"..."
Alice listened to the whole story, but she didn't feel the slightest touch. Instead, she suddenly had a feeling that she couldn't communicate with the person in front of her.
So she chose to change the subject decisively after a brief silence.
"According to what the letter says, shouldn't we discuss Ander's ownership today...?"
"Do you really not want to reminisce with me?"
"what?"
"Do you really not want to reminisce with me? Alice?"
Alice really wanted to throw "I don't even know you!" in Samuel's face. He thought that the man in front of him was probably delusional or something else.
Otherwise, how could you reminisce with someone you just met for less than half an hour?
"Ahem, Mr. Samuel. Although I don't know if you have any misunderstanding, I really don't know you. I came to the banquet today just because I wanted to discuss matters about Ander with you." Ellie Si once again reiterated her reason for coming to the banquet today.
Samuel listened to Alice's explanation, his face gradually darkened as Alice defended him, and by the end, the smile was no longer on his face.
"That's... really rude. Please allow me to express my apology to you, but we can still continue chatting for a while, right? Let me think about it, about Ander..." Samuel held up his hands. Holding his chin, he closed his eyes and pondered for a while before continuing: "About Ander, you also know that Ander is now under the 'protection' of the Thief's Wrist, right?"
"Yes, I know that," replied Alice.
"That's easy to explain. I can make some small changes to the status quo for you." Samuel stood up at this time. He walked to Alice and continued: "You can use one person to do it." In exchange for an entire country!”
Alice stared closely at Samuel's face, and she saw an expression that was close to excitement on his face.
"I don't think you have the authority to...do such a thing. The leader of the Thieves should be Forenhawk, right?" Alice asked the question in her mind: "I don't think your master Would trade such a large territory for just one person.”
"My master? Hahaha, he is just a puppet under my command." Samuel laughed out loud, with a sarcastic look on his face, but it was fleeting.
"Why do you think so? Alice, what makes you think he is my master?"
"But you're not his...?"
Samuel laughed and interrupted Alice. He almost stopped laughing. After laughing to the point where his stomach hurt, he continued: "That doesn't have the ability to take down Ander. All of them Everything was planned. It was all planned by me."
"Everything is for us to meet again; everything is for our future."
"Whether it was the Count who sent people to kill the Pope, or we took away Ander. Everything that happened these days was because I wanted you to come to me."
Samuel became excited as he spoke. He strode up to Alice, and then pressed her shoulders with both hands.Alice couldn't get away and was forced to face Samuel.
Moreover, not only was her body unable to move, her mind was also stuck.Everything Samuel said exploded in her mind like thunder, and the unexpected information came too suddenly.
"I have to tell the others about this quickly."
This is the only thing Alice knows now, but if she wants to tell the information to her companions, she has to leave Samuel's hands first.
"I won't let you go." Samuel saw through Alice's thoughts. He exerted force on her hand, and Alice suddenly felt a pain in her shoulder.
"The person you are talking about in exchange is not me, right..." Alice's words were a bit knowing. She looked up at Samuel and continued: "But I don't intend to follow you. And even without your help, we can get Ander back."
"Really? But you still can't leave. I said... I won't let you go."
After saying that, Samuel strangled Alice's neck. He looked at Alice struggling in his hands with gloomy eyes.After a while, Alice's struggle stopped.
Samuel exhaled, and he removed his hands from Alice's neck, then reached to her armpits and hugged her sideways.
"Go and bring a message that Miss Alice will never come back from now on. Our deal is done."
Samuel said to the air aside. After he finished speaking and left the courtyard with Alice in his arms, a familiar appeared from the air and flew in the direction of Pergade.
-------------------
Ivan Bell was pacing anxiously in the hall, and lying on the ground at her feet was a corpse of a monster with its body and head separated.This dead monster was the one who came to Pelgede to deliver a message to Samuel.
"I told you that Alice shouldn't be allowed to go alone!" Ivan Bell stopped, and she kicked the monster's body hard, causing it to slide forward a certain distance.
"If they don't return it, won't we snatch it back?" Vician stepped over the familiar's torso that slid in front of him, and walked over holding a box of scrolls with his unsplinted hand.
"Snatch it back? How are we going to rob it?" Ivan Bell pulled out the chair and sat down. She asked angrily Vician, who was the first to agree to Alice's attendance at the banquet.
"Whatever they took away, we will take back." Caschia's voice came from the second floor, and he was holding a lot of things in his hands.
"Let's go to Ander again. This time we go directly to their headquarters and solve everything at once."
—tbc—
Chapter 69 Tracks
"Let's get it all out of the way once and for all."
Caschia, who walked downstairs, said this to Ivan Bell, and Ivan Bell, the young judge, stared at his senior and muttered: "If you hadn't agreed in the first place, Ellie Si will not be kidnapped like now."
"I heard what you were saying. We're sorry, okay?"
Wei Xi'an threw the wooden box in his arms on the table, making a dull sound.Ivan Bell turned her head and looked at the leader of thieves who also voted in agreement at that time. She said angrily to him: "That's why I voted against it in the first place! Just forget it, Alice. …”
Ivan Bell was speechless for a moment when she said this. She understood that their decision would not play a decisive role in Alice, but she was still angry.
Perhaps what Ivan Bell is most angry with is herself for not stopping Alice.
"For the sake of what has happened, let us rescue Alice first."
Visian said and sat back on the chair. He did not immediately start to draw the scroll, but first took off the splint on his left hand.
"You can't tear it apart like this..." Caschia shook his head at Vician, then he turned to Ivan Bell and asked: "Where's Starlight? Is she still...?"
"It's the same as before. It hasn't gotten better yet." Ivan Bell stood up. When she left the bench, Caschia and Vician saw Starlight curled up on the bench.Starlight's face was still stained with tears, and she obviously fell asleep after being tired from crying.
Although it had only been an hour since they received the "bad news" from Samuel, if they were to say who was the most tired at the scene, it would definitely be Xingguang.
As an arcane spirit, she could talk to the holder remotely, but she couldn't connect to Alice at this time. This little guy who was just born had overdrawn so much mental power in her constant attempts that she... She fell into a deep sleep due to lack of energy after being anxious.
Starlight cried for a long time, but she was asleep now, which should be a good thing for her.
"We'll catch Alice before you wake up."
Ivan Bell bent down and rubbed Starlight's head. I wonder if he heard this assurance, and the sleeping Starlight rubbed it in the direction of her hand.
"Okay, let me get these scrolls done, and then we can go to Ander."
Here, Wei Xi'an has already removed the splint that fixed his left hand. With the help of some "secret medicine", his left hand is almost healed. Now removing the splint will not cause much damage to his arm. harm.
"You want to write a scroll? Don't you want Jersey to come?"
"No, he went to help the people of Hel's Hammer. I can handle these scrolls by myself. You should also go and make preparations."
Vishian, who had already picked up a quill and was immersed in drawing the scroll, said to Ivan Bell without raising his head. Ivan Bell leaned over and took a distrustful look. As a result, she left the hall with the idea that "magic is really difficult to understand." .
Not only Ivan Bell left the hall, but also Caschia holding the starlight.When they left, for a while only the murmur of Vishian's diligent writing echoed in the halls of Pergaard.
——————————————————————————————
Time sometimes flies by like a shooting star in the sky, and at this time Nirnati has already ushered in the charming night.
The moon slowly rose from the clouds, and the three people from Pergaard were finally ready at this time, planning to go to the current headquarters of the Band of Thieves - the royal territory inside Ander.
"The white scroll is for dispelling magic, and the black scroll is for destroying magic." Vician handed two scrolls, one black and one white, to Ivan Bell and Caschia respectively.
Curious about the results of Vexian's few hours, Ivan Bell opened the black scroll a little.However, just a little bit, the scroll in Ivan Bell's hand began to shake uncontrollably, as if there was a sealed beast inside that was trying to escape.
