Alice shrank from the cold. She licked her dry lips and said hesitantly: "Pergede is my home... Uh, no! It should be that I think Pergede is my home." .It doesn’t seem right either…”

As if she had lost the ability to organize language, Alice kept mumbling. She could never organize what she wanted to say into coherent words.She became more and more anxious, so that eventually she began to utter incoherently answers that were completely different from what she had originally intended.

"Anyway, it's just... I just want to continue living in Pergede! In order to improve my living standard, I propose to move Pergede here. The birds are singing, the flowers are fragrant, and the air is fresh. And! And! There is plenty of sunshine! Yes, That’s it! I request a move!!!”

Alice raised her head high and spoke righteously, as if the hesitant "Alice Black" just now was not her.

"Ah? What the hell is this reason?" Visian was obviously not convinced. He stood there with his hands folded across his chest, his serious expression exactly the same as Caschia's.

"Alice, you... must have other reasons, right?" Ivan Bell was also helpless. She could feel Alice's heart, but it was a piece of land!It’s not just a gold coin!How can it be so casual!

"Oh! I thought it was because of this!" Alice boasted in frustration. She kicked a stone on the ground and continued: "Why are you so stubborn?"

"It's not stubborn. It's just that it is such a large land after all, and land like this is worth five bags of gold coins." Caschia began to explain to Alice why they were so opposed.

In Nilnati now, less than 30 years have passed since the last large-scale war ended.Although Xios was able to recover from the haze of war, its resources were still somewhat scarce.Not to mention that part of the land in Ander's territory has not yet been restored, so the value of the land is very high.

"Is it so expensive!?" Alice, a person with no business sense, was surprised.

The leader who had been standing next to them and listening to the conversation also agreed: "That's true. If the count hadn't purchased the land on a large scale, the current market price wouldn't be as high as it is."

Alice learned the value of the land she received from her companions and others. She instantly felt that what she was holding in her hands was not a piece of paper, but several large bags of gold coins.

"But I still want to use this land for Pelgard... Visian, is it really not possible?"

"..."

Wei Xi'an felt his head began to hurt. "When did she become so stubborn?" he couldn't help but think.His eyes were focused on Alice's face, and the black-haired girl was also staring at him.Both pairs of eyes of the same color are looking at each other, trying to make the people on the opposite side understand each other through simple eye contact.

"I'm sorry, I still can't accept your kindness." Wei Xi'an shook his head. He insisted on his choice and rejected Alice's proposal.

Alice sobbed. She felt inexplicably aggrieved, so much so that tears began to condense in her eyes.

"After all, there are other people in Pergedri. If you really want to do something to Pergedri, you have to ask for their consent first."

Wei Xi'an said irritably, how could he not see Alice's expression.Alice was standing directly opposite him!After noticing signs that Alice was about to cry again, he panicked and couldn't help but soften his heart, thus letting him relax.

"What does asking for consent mean?" Alice wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, raised her head again and asked Vician.

"Vote, if more than half of the people agree... then you can do whatever you want..."

"Really?"

"kindness……"

"Really? Really? Really?"

"It's true...Hey! You! Don't pounce on me!!!"

Vician staggered a few times. He was knocked over by Alice who suddenly rushed forward, and then fell on Caschia who was standing behind him.Wei Xi'an felt a pain. He thought his wound might have cracked. After all, his wound had not completely healed.

As for Alice, she was so happy that he completely forgot about it.She stretched out her hand and hugged Caschia behind Vician.Alice's arms are of average length for her age, which means her arms cannot hold two adult men tightly at all.

And she did hug two people, although one of them was almost crushed.Vician didn't want to touch any part of Alice's body that he shouldn't touch, so he could only lean back as hard as he could.Caschia lowered his head and smiled happily. When he saw Vician's blushing face, he smiled even more happily.He also reached out and hugged Alice, the kind of hug without any evil intentions.

Ivan Bell, who was standing alone on the outside, was unwilling to be left alone and rushed over. She jumped on Alice.As expected, everyone present heard Wei Xi'an's muffled groan.

After gaining enough "hug energy", the three people who formed the hug circle took a step back and walked away.

Wei Xi'an, who was stuck in the middle, was finally able to breathe fresh air. He bent over and gasped for air. Before he could take a few breaths, he stopped because of the sudden pain.

"My wound is open..."

Wei Xi'an opened his palms covering his chest, and there was a little blood on his palms.Looking at his clothes, there is already a red mark gradually spreading.

"Hurry! Hurry! Send him back to Pergade!!!!"

Alice rushed to Vishian's side, then stretched out her hand and hugged him sideways.In fact, Caschia was also lucky enough to experience this kind of "loving care". He was always hugged by Alice with a frightened look on his face.

"Wait! Put me down! I can do it myself... Hey! Alice!!!!"

Alice turned a deaf ear to Vician's shouts and started running towards the upper city, leaving her two remaining companions far behind.

As a result, a strange scene appeared in Alder today. A girl was running on the streets of Alder with a man in her arms.According to what the pedestrians said, they saw the man being held covering his face and letting out a series of moans.Behind the girl, there were two people running fast as if they were chasing them.

"Through the testimonies, we initially believe that this is a civil dispute. Our Star Daily will continue to follow up on more details of this incident. Please look forward to our next column!"

A passing tabloid reporter quickly drafted the content of tomorrow's column and happily prepared to print it in tomorrow's tabloid.

Chapter 100 The collision of craftsmen’s hearts (3)

"'Where is the young girl running for her life to move?', 'Who is the man being held?'. What the hell are these things written in the daily newspaper!?"

Not long after Weisian woke up from his sleep, Ivan Bell, who walked in, took a look at his face and pasted a copy of Xingyao Daily that had just been released this morning.

As the only magazine published in Ander, Star Daily's content has always included various events that happened in Ander.Because no matter how big or small, as long as it is interesting, there is a chance to be published.Yesterday afternoon, it was taken for granted that the story of Vician being carried by Alice and running down the street was published in the daily newspaper.

Regardless of whether the report in the daily newspaper is true or not, the speed of publication alone has to be admired.

Although Vesien's only desire now is to tear down the newspaper.

"Look at this newspaper! You are mentioned in it!" Wei Xi'an thought to himself.Even though pseudonyms were used in this report, Vician still recognized the four protagonists in the article.Because he was one of them, the shameful part of him was described in an embellished way, which was enough to make him feel that his life was over.

"Don't laugh, you've also been included. Let me see, ha! A chaser with blond hair and a violent appearance. I have to say, they have pretty good vision..."

"But at least I'm not the one being held in the arms of a young girl!"

"...You are here to torment me today, right?"

Ivan Bell smiled and replied: "I don't dare. In fact, it was Alice who asked me to come to you, and the newspaper was just incidental. Alice said that she had received enough support while you were asleep. Okay. I want you to go down and check it quickly."

The remaining sleepiness of Wei Xi'an disappeared in an instant. He said with some surprise: "It's only been a few hours!? Is Alice working so hard?"

"You just have to work harder than you think." Ivan Bell replied.

Weisian didn't care about going back to sleep, he climbed out of bed, and after kicking Ivan Bell out of the room, he started to wash up.

—————————————————————————————

"31, 32...36! 36! Now we have finally gathered more than half of the people!"

In the morning Pergaarde's halls echo with Alice's voice.

Alice rubbed her sore eyes. She worked all night and all morning to get Visian to agree to her "relocation plan."She was a little sleep deprived, but holding the piece of paper with her name written in her hand, she still felt that everything was worth it.

Now that enough signatures have been collected, the next step is to wait for Weixi's acceptance.

"Ivan is so slow, why haven't they come down yet?" Alice thought while yawning.

She sat in the hall and waited for a while, and a few minutes later, Vishian and Ivan Bell, fully dressed, walked downstairs.

"Hey! I'm here!" Alice stood on the chair and waved her hands towards the two of them, then she jumped off the chair and rushed to Vishian.

"Look, these signatures! I did it! You will agree to it and don't cheat!"

Weisian picked up the paper Alice slapped on his chest and glanced at it briefly. He found that the paper was densely written with various names.The mixed handwriting is all over the white paper, making it difficult to read easily.

"Yes, really? Thank you for your hard work... By the way, did you...!"

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Alice interrupted Vician before he could finish his words. This was because she was still in a state of excitement.

Vician closed his mouth and pointed at Alice's eyes. He hesitated and asked Alice what the dark circles under his eyelids were.

"Oh, I slept a little late yesterday, that's why it turned out like this. Let's not talk about it! You will keep your promise yesterday, right?"

Visian nodded helplessly in agreement. Seeing Visian nod, Alice cheered and jumped up on the spot.She is as happy as a ten-year-old child now, and her eyes are shining brightly.

"Then I'll go to Longmu Chamber of Commerce now. I'll be back soon!"

Alice hugged Vician and Ivan Bell, who was reading the newspaper, and then she turned and ran outside.

"Aren't you going to go with me?" Ivan Bell said to Vician, who was watching Alice leave, while flipping through the newspaper in his hand.

"No, Caschia and I have to go out later."

Vician straightened his messed up collar and pointed upstairs. Just at this moment, Caschia opened the door and was about to walk out.

Vician, Caschia and Alice left one after another, leaving only Ivan Bell alone in the hall.She rested for a long time, and then ran out to play when she was really bored.So when Alice returned to Pergade two hours later, she could only hold back the news while waiting for her companions to arrive.

A few more hours later, Alice's companions came back one after another.Alice, who was dozing on the table, woke up immediately when she heard the familiar footsteps. She greeted her companions in a daze, but she didn't know that there were red marks on her face when she fell asleep.

"Pfft... How's it going with the Chamber of Commerce? Is everything settled?" Caschia asked.

"It's all settled! Mr. Ravilao and Mr. Olga have said that they will start building Pergede when Ande is almost completely rebuilt. Although it will be delayed a lot, they said they can give us a discount! "Alice gave a thumbs up, and she continued on this topic: "Oh! After they heard that Pergede had no external walls, they told us to look forward to it! What are they planning to do?"

"Why do I have a bad premonition..." Wei Xi'an felt cold all over after hearing the news. He had a very, very bad premonition welling up in his heart.He wondered if it was still too late for him to ask Alice to add "Please don't mess around on Pergade."

It's probably too late...

"What does the new Perged look like? Anyway, it's better than now, right?" Ivan Bell also sat down, and while she was talking, she casually gestured around the interior of Perged.

"I think it's fine now."

"You are not good at aesthetics. Look at this skylight! It should be facing north!"

"...You can do it! Do you know how much thought I put into decorating it?"

Vician and Ivan Bell began to argue about the interior decoration, while Alice and Caschia listened quietly.From time to time they would chime in, and from time to time they would echo someone's words.

In this way, time passes little by little.During this period of time, Alice and her party could not agree on the decoration style of Pergade, just like Olga and Ravilao who were quarreling in the Longmu Chamber of Commerce.

When the debate lasted until its fifth day, the "battle of words" had to be suspended.The reason is that the transportation team from Lespenault has arrived in Ander's territory.

In other words, just today, Weixi'an had to get up early in the morning to greet his "fellow countryman".

—TBC—

1 The People of Les Penaud (1)

The days of commuting between the palace and Pergade were finally over, but Weisian, who still couldn't sleep until he woke up naturally, stood in front of the checkpoint in the south of the city, yawning continuously, waiting for the arrival of the transport team.

It has been more than a week since King Odes ordered the implementation of the "Ander Restoration Plan".No matter how much supplies the transport team transports and no matter how slow the speed, they should arrive today.

But no, Wei Xi'an sat on the small table in front of the checkpoint, and the pocket watch in his hand was opened and closed continuously. Just listening to the "click-click" sound was irritating, just like it was in Visian's heart right now.

"It's been three hours! Don't the people in the transport team want to do it anymore?"

Vician rubbed the relief on the pocket watch with his fingers. He glanced at the dial. It was fine. The hands were currently stuck at eleven o'clock in the morning.In another hour, Visian will only wait another hour.If he couldn't wait for the transport team, he decided to go to the tavern to have a few drinks and fill his stomach, and then consider whether to send someone to take his place.

After all, the feeling of sitting alone in the level, facing the endless grassland is really unbearable.

But the gods seemed determined to make Visian's life unsatisfactory today. They brought him a very "surprise" gift, one that was so surprising that he almost fainted on the spot.
