"Because I have nothing to do today, and it would be boring to sleep in bed all the time, so I just have to be honest."

Alice's words were approved by Ivan Bell. Ivan Bell swung his legs and said, "Yes, many shops have been closed recently. Even the vendors on the street have packed up and left."

Think about what it would be like to run to the market early in the morning without being able to sleep and not see a single vendor. Otherwise, Ivan Bell wouldn't have climbed back into bed and slept.

"It's not that exaggerated, I remember..." Caschia temporarily put down the book in his hand. He recalled the locations of the shops that were still open before continuing: "I remember the businesses near the Central Square. The street is still open. If you want to buy luggage for your trip in advance, just go there and buy it."

Caschia's words reminded Alice, and she suddenly realized that she hammered her palms and said, "Yes! We are going to Les Penaud in three days."

"Ivan, what do you think? Do you want to go shopping with me?"

Ivan Bell looked at Alice who was looking forward to it. Alice looked at her eyes twinkling, and the light coming from her eyes was very dazzling and completely irresistible.

"I'm free. Where are you, Caschia?" Ivan Bell asked.

Caschia turned over a page of the book and replied apologetically: "I made an agreement with His Majesty Victor yesterday to accompany them to the tavern today." At this point, he pointed in the direction of Visian's room before continuing: "He is the same. None of us are free today. If you want to go shopping, go ahead."

Alice didn't say much after hearing this, and decisively said that she would help them bring back some necessary items while shopping.

"Since you have guests to entertain, we won't disturb you. Let's go, Ivan, the two of us plus Starlight, the three of us will go shopping together!"

With that said, Alice greeted Ivan Bell and planned to leave. Before going out, she did not forget to wake up the starlight from the staff.

In this way, three girls, two young and one young, walked out of Pergede and walked happily towards the Central Street.

Caschia sat there, watching the three figures getting further and further away and getting smaller and smaller.When those shadows disappeared at the end of the street, he belatedly remembered that he had not yet blessed Alice to stop buying random things.

Looking at the deserted streets, Caschia could only sigh and shake his head.

"I hope they don't come back with something weird this time."

Everyone said that old lady Caschia was worrying about her companions as always today.

On the other side, the three Alices who were already walking on the street arrived at the central square without much effort.Standing next to the square, Alice marveled at the amazing work speed of the craftsmen of the Longmu Chamber of Commerce.She turned her head and saw that the craftsmen had already begun to rebuild.The fountain in the center of the square does not seem to be included in the list of buildings. It is still the same as before, spitting towards the sky.

Although she was somewhat interested in how to rebuild, Alice was too embarrassed to disturb those people who were immersed in their work.She took Starlight with one hand, then held Ivan Bell's hand with the other, and started to go to the commercial street that Caschia mentioned.

The commercial street was not like a market. All the shops were located on both sides of the street. At first glance, Alice couldn't see the end of the street.

And this commercial street has become extremely lively because of the temporary closure of the Silver Market.Although the flow of people is far from being crowded, it is still very prosperous just from the looks of it.

The first place Alice and her entourage walked into was a clothing store, owned by an elderly grandmother.The clothing in the store does not keep up with the trend and is very conservative in terms of style.But this is exactly what Alice and the others need now. After all, the two former kings of Rathpenor will be traveling with them three days later, so more conservative clothing should be better accepted.

They wandered around the store like this, and when they walked out, each of them was carrying at least one small paper bag in their hands.

Now that the clothing aspect is settled, the next step is to buy some essential items.They were said to be must-haves, but in fact they were just some simple things. Alice was very happy shopping and bought a lot of things.Because of Ivan Bell's company, the things they bought were not filled with all kinds of unusable "junk" like last time.

Here, we must thank Ivan Bell. Without her, Perged would be in chaos today.

"It seems that I have bought everything. There are less things to buy than I thought."

Alice raised her hands. She was holding a total of five bags in both hands. Some bags contained clothes, and some contained daily necessities.The things in Ivan Bell's hands were much less than those of Alice. She only carried three bags.

Starlight was holding a muffin in her hand, so together with what Alice and Ivan Bell were holding, there were only eight bags in total.

After confirming that they didn't leave anything behind in the store, or that there was something they didn't buy, Alice and Ivan Bell walked back with Starlight.

After exiting the other end of the commercial street, they walked half a circle around the city wall and then circled back to Pergade.Alice failed to meet up with Caschia and the others at Pergade, and they waited until evening before four guys who smelled of alcohol arrived.

Chapter 1 Prepare for travel!

It has been two days since Alice last took Ivan Bell and Starlight out for shopping.In these two days, Visian, the leader of Pelgaed, finally got a chance to breathe.He walked out carrying his packed suitcase.Facing his companions lined up outside the house, eager to try and in high spirits, Wei Xi'an felt a headache.

He wasn't really looking forward to the day trip to Les Penauds, but Alice was.

Nirnati is gradually entering summer, and so is Alder.The sun was very bright today, but this could not weaken Alice's excitement. She straightened her sleeves, raised the suitcase in her hand and said, "Are you ready? Then go and get it out, Nevisto."

Yes, Alice talked about Nevisto.She and her companions were accustomed to Nevisto's existence, but not to Vishian's parents, Tanya and Victor Sr.

The two elderly people became very interested after hearing that there was a magical "Arcane Carriage" in Pergede. With Caschia's approval, Alice planned to open their eyes. She planned to let the two elderly people travel in Join them in Nevisto on the way to the port.

No, she pushed Vician, who had just come out, to find Nevisto.

Because Nevisto could never be placed in someone else's home, Visian took it back to Pergede.Together with Alice's griffon Yal, he pulled up a fence on the other side of the city wall and built a simple stable.

All of this was completed in just three days, and even Alice had to admire Visian's efficiency.

When you get to the other end of the city wall, you can see two horses lying on the grass in the distance.But there are some differences in calling it a horse. After all, Nevisto is not a real animal.Nevisto, lying on the grassland, shines with strange brilliance under the sun. Large swaths of sunlight are reflected when it comes into contact with the metal skin on its body.The reflected light is unusually conspicuous, making it impossible to ignore its existence.

Because they are attracted to it, they can't help but move towards it. Tania and old Victor are the best examples.

But they didn't need to cross the high fence, because Vishian had already led them over.Of course, along with the carriage.

Fasten the buckles of the two parts of the carriage, and the ultimate form of the "Arcane Carriage" is completed.Tania and old Victor walked over, but they didn't get too close.They stood a little further away and looked at the carriage in front of them with half-exploring and half-curious eyes.

After observing for a moment, Tania asked: "Where did you get this carriage? We have never seen such a sophisticated device."

"Mr. Olga of Hel's Hammer lent it to us." Alice replied. She was not afraid of Nevisto. She boldly reached out and touched the horse's cheek.

The horse with a bell on its mane lowered its head obediently and rubbed her hand, a glimmer of light flashing through its eyes made of gems.

This horse was named Nana by Alice, and the other was named Will.Although they are of one mind and exist as Nevisto at the same time, this name was decided for the purpose of easy differentiation during repair and maintenance.

"Nana and Veer were both made by Mr. Olga Mithril! Their guild, Hel's Hammer, is underground in the central square. If we have time in the future, we can take you to see it." Alice followed Olga's original instructions. Erga said what she asked for when she "lent" Nevisto to them. She proudly said the name of Hel's Hammer, and even praised it in every possible way.

Listen, listen.Tania and old Victor let down their guard.Seeing that Nana and Weir had docile personalities, they no longer hesitated and walked to Nevisto's side with confidence.

Tania walked to Weir's side. She touched Weir's body in surprise, and then knocked on Weir's body with her finger. A crisp metallic sound immediately rang out.

They were very interested in horses made of metal, but as time had come, they could only get on the carriage and have a good talk with Alice and the others.

After getting on the carriage, Visian patted Nana and Weir's necks. After receiving the signal to set off, they spread their hooves and started running.

In the shed behind them, it was still filled with conversations as always, and Alice patiently answered Tania and Old Victor's questions.She introduced what kind of existence Nevisto was, and used starlight as an example to explain the existence of the arcane spirit.

At some point, Alice had almost become an "authority" in arcane arts. What she said was so clear and logical that Visian almost believed that everything she said was correct.

Even if there are some errors in Alice's interpretation, Vician doesn't intend to point them out.He just sat there with his arms crossed, squinting his eyes and dozing off.

When Nevisto drove to the west gate, the transport team from Les Penaud also followed.Alice and her party now had five carriages and a few horses.Vician deliberately kept Nevisto at a normal speed, so that other carriages could keep up with its pace.

Farrell followed suit and rode on Nevisto's left side. He knocked on the carport twice to indicate that everything was fine, but he also woke up Vician.

Vician woke up from his light sleep. He opened the curtain and looked outside. When he saw Farrell, he said something to him.After that, Farrell left the vicinity of the carriage and went to an unknown destination.

When Alice saw Farrell again, it was already a long time after they arrived at Tidal Harbor.

After some questioning, Alice found out that Farrell had been sent out to run errands by Vician. Unfortunately, she had no way of knowing what Farrell had done specifically.

"When are we going to board the ship?" Alice stretched her neck and stood at the boarding gate and looked around. The "Isadora" they were going to take was not docked at the tidal port. It seemed that they had to wait a little longer. Last a while.

Sitting and waiting was boring. Alice first played in the water out of curiosity, and then visited the market near the port.When she really had nothing to do, she sat down and waited for the arrival of the giant ship.

Alice waited on the chair for a long time. When her bones were almost rusty, she suddenly had an idea and an idea came to her.

"Mioya's remains are near the tidal harbor. Should I look for it now?"

This idea began to linger in Alice's mind, and she tested various possibilities on her own. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it could be done.

So she got up from her chair and asked her companions if they could accompany her to the bottom of the cliff.She asked around and luckily got everyone's consent.

In order to get back in time, Alice asked Tania again.After hearing Alice's idea, Tanya agreed and reached out to help.

"How can we let her bones stay at the bottom of the cliff? Let's do this, Farrell. You bring some people and go with them. The more people you have, the easier it will be to find her." Tania said to Farrell. You gave an order.

Although Farrell had just been asked to do chores, he still didn't feel dissatisfied at all.He nodded and stretched out his hand to summon the other knights to wait aside.

"Thank you, we'll be back as soon as we find it. Thank you very much."

Alice was both happy and a little nervous. She just wanted to make an announcement before taking her away, but she didn't expect Tania to bother with it.After learning that they had to be back before six o'clock in the evening, Alice and her companions followed Farrell to the cliffs near the tidal harbor.

They had one and a half hours to search. In order to save the time required for searching, Alice teamed up with Visian to perform the [Search Technique].Once the magic is cast, Alice can see a band of light pointing into the distance.

Following the traces of the light belt, Alice and her party arrived at the bottom of the cliff.However, because there was no reference object, the search technique pointed to an entire area, and they had to personally find Mioya's scattered bones in this area.

At this moment, Alice began to feel lucky that Farrell came with them. If they only relied on the original five people, they would not be able to search the river under the cliff in an hour and a half.

After some separate searches, Alice finally found Mioya's broken bones in the lower reaches of the river.Others also found part of it, and after they sorted it out, they dug a simple grave nearby and buried Mioya properly.

After completing these actions, there is only the last half hour left before six o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the floating clouds in the west were rendered fiery red by the setting sun, and the sky gradually darkened.

Alice and the others hurried back to the Tidal Harbor, and just in time, a whistle came from the distance.

"Woo! Woo!"

As soon as the captain of the Isadora entered the waters of the tidal port, he started to blow the whistle. The sound of the whistle drifted far away along with the sea breeze, and he "arrived" at the port first.

The workers at the port got busy after hearing the whistle. Alice stood up. She stood a little away from the workers, staring at the sea level.

The Isadora broke through the waves and headed towards the port. The white waves split into two and surrounded both sides of this sea beauty.Alice couldn't take her eyes away from it. She jumped off the horse and ran to the dock. She stood there waving her hands desperately, as if the people on the ship would respond to her.

As expected, the Isabella lived up to the title of "the best giant ship in Les Penaud". It only took a short period of time to dock steadily at the port.The crew on the ship lowered the ladder after docking and waited for passengers to board the ship.

Taking into account the priority given to the oldest and the youngest, Tania and Old Victor boarded the ship first, followed by Alice and Vishian, and finally everyone from the transport team boarded the ship.

1 Caschia’s love affair?

"It is indeed a giant ship, it is so luxurious!" Alice sighed sincerely after boarding the ship.

Standing on the deck and looking around, she could see not only the excellent wood, but also the deck chairs, potted plants and statues placed on the deck.

In addition, there was even a pool on the deck. Alice had no time to think about how they managed to carve out such a place on the deck. She was just sighing at what she saw.

"Vician! Can I take a look around?"

Alice's heart was filled with excitement, and she couldn't wait to take the first step on this trip.

Wei Xi'an stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture. After receiving his consent, Alice ran away like a puppy that had been bored at home for three days.

Behind her, her companions dispersed to enjoy a rare break.

Time passed quietly, and the first night after Alice and her party boarded the Isabella came.That night, Alice was unable to sleep because of her excessive excitement. After rolling around on the soft bed for a while, she finally got up from the bed.

At midnight, Alice ran out of her room quietly, as if she was afraid that someone would discover her.Even though there is no access control on the ship, she still wanders around the ship in this strange posture.

To be honest, she looks so weird now.She lowered her head and walked forward close to the wall. With her long black hair hanging down and the white dress she was wearing, her appearance was basically exactly the same as the female ghost in the horror story.

I don’t know if Alice really planned to use this dress to scare people, but she came to the door of Ivan Bell’s room.
