Volume 1: The Land of the Dead Chapter 76: The Dinner at Sea (1)

"Sister Alley, what do you think you should dress for dinner? I've heard from Mentor Yvette before, and it seems like a very formal occasion. ”

Dressed at home, Difana was wearing light silk pajamas, lying on the board with her legs crossed, her brown and red hair naturally scattered on her shoulders, and her slightly baby fat face, which looked a little more tranquil at a glance.

However, within a few minutes of this seemingly beautiful scene, Defana poked her fingers around Subject Three's round shell like a madgirl, and interestingly, no matter how she fiddled with it, Subject Three staggered to her feet like a tumbler.

"Well, I don't know, the mother's memories contain very little knowledge about this, and it seems that she prefers to be in the lab rather than to attend dinner. ”

Alley, dressed in a pale yellow robe, was lying by the window, with the dull sound of the waves in her ears, and responded in a rare lazy tone, without the slightest cold tone of looking at the sun.

Given that Alley's original clothes had been destroyed in the storage vault of Amanda's Ruins, Alley had been wearing the clothes of Lilith, who was about the same size, for some time.

As for the arrival of the Pan Continent, the group hurried to Vikz under the leadership of Roger's brain, so that until now Alley has always been wearing such a robe that does not fit so badly. However, the mage robe that is one size smaller sets off her delicate figure, which makes Alley, whose face is not stunning, a little more charming.

The cool evening breeze blew through the window, bringing some magical elements full of impurities, and at the same time, it also took away the residual warmth in the cabin, after all, it was the middle of winter, even in this warmer southern port city, the majesty of the frost and snow apostle Narth made the sea breeze bring a slight chill after all.

What's more, there was a thin snow on yesterday's Feather Fall Festival, and the snowflakes melted, so that the temperature dropped a few points, and the cool breeze that suddenly blew into the cabin made the half-dressed Difana snort, "Sister Alley, don't patronize to replenish your magic, close the window, I'm about to freeze to death." ”

The mottled magical elemental veil lingered around Alley's fingertips, emitting a glowing soft light that she easily transformed and absorbed, becoming part of her own magical cycle.

Such a magical element, full of impurities, may not be able to meditate or be used to release magic at all, after all, it takes too long to purify, which makes the sky over the Gray Sea a 'magic vacuum' in another sense, which is the fundamental reason why it is difficult for ordinary magicians to fly on the sea for a long time.

However, even such an inferior and thin magical element was much better for Alley, as an arcane demon servant, than the magical desert of the Necromantic Underworld.

After a while, Difana set Subject Three aside, her petite body shrunk into a smooth and shiny fur blanket - this was of course bought by Difana when she was purchasing it - she stared at Alley's familiar and unfamiliar face, and asked, "So Sister Alley, what are the memories of Yvette's mentor to you?"

"If you want to ask me that, I don't really know, the memory of the 'mother' may be just a vague picture of the old days for me? That feeling is hard to describe, you can observe other people's lives completely, but it is difficult to have real feelings. Perhaps Alley had already thought about it, but she just held her cheeks and said her opinion without pause.

The room fell silent for a moment, and a large transparent hand quietly appeared in front of Alley, and the slender fingers like green onions buckled on the table, and the large hand produced by the 'mage's hand floated over and gently closed the window, blocking out the cool sea breeze and blocking the unchanging sea view.

Speaking of which, the Suzuka had been anchored since almost noon, and now it had been sailing for half a day, and at first Difana could accompany Alley by the window to watch the sea ship leave the port, but then the immutable sea water soon made the impatient little girl lose interest.

"It's all to blame on Roger's stinky guy, who didn't even have a break to recuperate. Defana picked up Subject 3 and muttered and complained about her mentor who was idle and only instructed herself, "Sister Alley, why did Lilith give him the position of mentor?"

"It's just a clever guy who loves to command people, and he's still so unreliable...... Wow, Sister Alley, you're so pretty!"

Just as Defana turned her head, Alley, who was in a daze, stood up and turned around, her skirt spread out like flying flowers, and at some point, she put on a purple silk gown instead of a bound mage robe, her long hair was slightly messy, and her hair was decorated with all kinds of brilliant diamonds, shining in the fading skylight, like stars in the sky.

This outfit obviously does not conform to the luxury that is now popular in the countries, but is full of a different charm of the twilight age elf style, but unfortunately, this graceful decoration lasted for less than a few seconds, like a poorly touched TV signal, disappeared after a few flickers, Difana rubbed her eyes, and in front of her was still Alley in a yellow robe.

"There are still things that can be changed in the magic model, the stability is too poor....." Wanting to show off the magic he had just created to his female companion, but not wanting to be only half successful, Alley explained slightly embarrassed, "What you just saw is a picture I extracted from the memory of the 'mother', and I want to recreate it in reality through hallucinatory magic." ”

"What's the use, then?" asked Difana, sitting up on her legs.

"It's like, you can wear a lot of nice clothes. Alley spoke in a serious manner, and as soon as he finished speaking, the two looked at each other, and they couldn't help laughing, and soon they were fighting together, this scene was still unimaginable a few months ago, and Roger even thought that Alley, the arcane demon servant, did not laugh at all.

"Lazy pigs, get up, everyone is waiting for you, come out. Just as the two sisters had had enough of making a fuss and whispering on the same bed, Roger's annoying voice rang out inappropriately with a knock on the door, "Get dressed, get 'ready,' and Mr. Gregory's dinner will begin." ”

"Smelly guy, got it. Difana replied angrily, sticking out her tongue at Roger through the door panel, "What a verbose guy, right, Sister Alley?"

"Ah Qiu~"

In the corridor, Roger, who was dressed in civilian clothes, sneezed loudly, came back to his senses, rubbed his nose and looked puzzled, "Is this a cold? ”

"Then you can go back and sleep a little longer," Elway said, straightening the awkward collar of his robe, "You've slept all day anyway, and it's not bad for a while." ”

"Forget it, if I don't go over, who knows if that muscular brother will turn his face on you, I'd better go with you, there should always be a response. ”

Roger pondered for a long time, but still gave up the attractive idea of going back to sleep again, "Besides, that evil spirit has clearly been born from chaos, and it didn't kill on the ship at the first time, but chose to hibernate, so that I can't feel its breath at all now, which also needs to be guarded against." ”

As soon as he talked about this, Elwei became angry, "I told you a long time ago, it is the safest way to destroy the evil spirit before birth, even if it is a mortal soul, no one knows what kind of ability is born after so many accumulations, and there are many hearts and eyes all day long." ”

"Ah, ah, I didn't deliberately leave Brandon's group to help us as meat shields, otherwise I'll go and clean them up as soon as the Suzuka leaves the Vicz Sea in the afternoon. While bragging, Roger glanced at the sky, and then knocked on the door of Alley and Difana a few more times, "Besides, the purity of the soul crystals dropped by killing evil spirits is much higher than the ones we have at hand, and I have some other use for them......"

When he said the last few words, Roger suddenly lowered his voice, and he could already see a familiar figure coming down the escalator from the corner of his eye, it was Andre in a smart attendant's uniform.

The young deacon calmly held a small silver tray in his hand, and his hand was still steady no matter how the boat rocked, fully demonstrating the basic qualities of a waiter.

"Mr. Roger, here is the aperitif, which Mr. Gregory has specially ordered me to bring here, the Champagne of the Flower of Sabbath from 1790, which is mellow and delicious, and the dinner is scheduled on the third floor, and I hope you will be there on time. ”

Seeing Roger nodding his head in understanding, Andre smiled and bowed slightly, and hurried back upstairs, as if he still had something to deal with.

"Heh, he's sent someone to urge us around the bush, it looks like the fat man and Brandon have discussed it. The thin-necked bottle containing the Flower of Rest was slightly tilted, and the mellow amber syrup was pulled out of a thin line, and Roger gulped it like a cow chewing a peony.

"Tsk, the taste is a bit light. ”

The unaffected bar sighed, Roger stuffed the remaining half bottle into Elway's hand, and wiped the wine on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve casually.

Seeing that the two most inkblots had also arrived, Roger had a bit of the demeanor of a mentor, and with a sentence of 'let's go, it's time to eat', he waved his arms and led the people of the True Insight Association down the escalator to the third floor.

And after everyone left, in the cold and dim corridor, a door leading to the deck suddenly opened as if a wind was blowing, and a strange sound like stepping on water made a strange sound in the empty corridor, going around and around, and finally disappeared along the escalator with Roger.
