Chapter Forty-Three: The Fish in the Pond
(Ask for collection~)
"Royce, stay here for a few days, don't go anywhere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ infoโ
Alice came to the big nest and looked at Royce, who was gently stroking an egg.
"Hey, sir?" Royce, who was immersed in her own world, suddenly heard Alice's voice and woke up suddenly. She panicked and gently put down the egg in her hand, and then saluted Alice.
"Hey, sir, what are you talking about?" Royce, who was still half-kneeling on the ground, raised her head suddenly, and then she remembered what Alice had just said.
"Why, my lord?" Royce looked at him with watery eyes, as if he had been abandoned by his master, and he was full of pity.
"There may be an enemy who will come here to attack me, so don't go out, until then I will close all the passages, and leave you plenty of food, drink, it doesn't matter if there is an underground river, if I win, I will come back to you." But if I fail, you'll ......"
Royce interrupted Alice abruptly before she could say the rest of her words. If this were a normal thing, Royce would not have done such a thing, Alice was her great benefactor and her master, she would not have done such an impolite thing.
But now, Royce heard Alice's words, and couldn't suppress the feelings in her heart for a while.
"Your Excellency, how can I be here, even if it is my insignificant power, please take me with me. โ
"No, Royce, you're still staying here, don't you have to take care of your eggs?" said Alice, gesturing to the Harpy Egg beside Royce.
"No, my lord, these are all given by you, and if it weren't for you, neither I nor them would have died. If the adults fail, neither me nor those eggs will have any value in surviving in this world. โ
Hearing Alice's words, Royce became even more excited, which made Alice both moved and helpless.
"Royce, if you still recognize me as an adult, then follow my orders!" In desperation, Alice had no choice but to order her in a stern tone.
Looking at her unwilling and resolute expression, Alice knew that if she really failed, she would be crazy to avenge herself.
"Royce, I'll have those rhino people come here when the time comes. You have only one mission, wait for me to come back. Even if I fail, I won't die, you just have to wait here obediently. After thinking about it, Alice still gave her a thorough explanation, and the stern expression on her face softened.
"Your Excellency. I...... I understood. Hearing Alice say this, Royce reluctantly replied, but there was still a kind of disbelief between the lines, she thought that it was only Alice who comforted her to say such words.
After that, Alice arranged the tribe of the rhinoceros people again, and Lumien, who knew that Alice had arranged it, with a panicked expression, brought his people to this place with food and some daily necessities, and they would spend a long time here until Alice's return.
The female rhinoceros people shivered in the darkness with their cubs in their arms, and although they had plenty of food and water, the dim environment and the uncertainty of the future filled their hearts with fear.
The cubs may have also felt the uneasiness in the hearts of the adults, and they all let out a howling cry, which made the cave even more sad.
When magic cut off the last rays of light, the dirt separated the two worlds.
Alice, who walked in the forest, looked up at the starry sky in the sky, I don't know if it was her luck, tonight happened to be a moonless night.
The breeze was blowing on his face, and the sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and the starlight behind could only be seen through a few gaps.
Alice began to miss her previous life, whether it was before going to school, she was so leisurely that she didn't want to think about what to eat for dinner every day and what to play the next day, or after going to magic school, she only had to read books and study.
Whether it's eating or daily problems, Alice can let the servants in the school solve them, and she just needs to read books wholeheartedly.
Do you regret that you entered this world and had to give up your way of living in peace in order to survive?
- Maybe a little, but as long as you get stronger, those days will come back.
โโAs long as you make yourself strong, you can choose what kind of life you want
-- The weak have no choice
Feeling the breeze blowing from the seashore with the unique smell of the sea, Alice tidied up her clothes.
"Garnko, Garnzo, do you regret it? If I were not your master, you would not have been in such a situation. โ
With her eyes fixed on the anomaly that appeared from the farthest point of view, Alice took out a comb and brushed her hair while questioning the two giants behind her.
"My lord, there is nothing to regret or not regret, everything is a choice of fate......"
"My lord, you are a good person, and my brother and I are very happy to follow a good person like you. โ
"Huh. Hearing such words, it should obviously be a happy thing, but Alice can only pull out a smile that is more ugly than crying at this time.
This time, even if you die, you can be reborn in the half-plane, but if the two cyclops die, they are truly dead.
They didn't know that Alice had such a backhand, but they still followed Alice without hesitation, and after only knowing each other for a few days, they offered everything for the so-called new master.
"Ah, then, it would be nice to win!"
"Take these two things with me. โ
"Don't die!"
Out of the air, two identical things appeared.
They were two shiny silver helmets mixed with Mithril that were somewhat resistant to magic. At the same time, it also has a diamond in front of it to make a mask that can be put down, which can resist any attack that shoots at the face, and the transparent mask will not affect the cyclops' vision.
This thing was specially bought by Alice for the two cyclops, and all the gold coins on her body were consumed, that is, now Alice has no gold coins on her body, and if this body dies and returns to the half-plane, there will not be enough gold coins to buy materials to make a new body.
The main body of the helmet made of Mithril is to prevent others from casting control magic on the cyclops, while the transparent diamond in front is to protect the most vulnerable part of their body, which is their eyes.
Blue ice crystals appeared on the horizon, and then began to spread upwards along the sky, enveloping the northern sky and the stars, and from the ground, the light was obscured, and it was hazy.
