When Alice turned around, the world faded its color.

Everything she could see turned gray.

"You're doing a good job, Lord Alice." A woman approached from afar, clapping her hands gently.

The sound wasn't familiar, but it wasn't unfamiliar either. It was as if there had been a conversation not so long ago.

Alice's eyes narrowed, trying to see the visitor's face—but she saw a face she hadn't expected.

That's really ...... Surprise.

"Sonya." Her teeth clenched, and a few words struggled to squeeze out between her teeth.

"It's me~ Alice-sama." Sonia lifted her skirt gently and gave Alice a ladylike salute.

"I remember Sonya." Alice looked at the girl in front of her and said, "But she has been destroyed by me after I cut open her abdomen, pulled out her intestines, and removed most of her internal organs. ”

"Sonia is already dead and can't die anymore. There is no way to be in front of me again. ”

"Who are you? Why pretend to be her? ”

She tried to move forward, but something happened to her even more surprise.

No matter how big a step she took, she couldn't move even an inch!

"You need to relax." Sonia raised her hand, and Alice immediately felt a sluggishness around her. It was as if the air had turned into a thick glue, and it was extremely difficult to lift one's hands and feet.

Sonia opened her rosy lips, and the melodious voice of a stream flowed forth. "A guy has lived for thousands of years after his heart was gouged out, and he hasn't died yet. So, why can't I be alive? ”

Alice struggled for a moment, and after confirming that she was now in a situation where her combat strength was approaching zero, she stopped resisting.

This is not normal.

This world is not normal, and the girl in front of me who calls herself Sonia is even more abnormal.

She lowered her face and asked in a low voice, "What is this place?" ”

"Here~" Sonia stretched out her hands and turned around lightly, and the supple skirt drew a beautiful circle. "This is my realm, my world, the annihilation of my alone."

She shook her fingers, blinked her eyes and said, "So don't think about using your half-baked spells~ It's super ~~~ to fight me here~~~ It's unfavorable~"

"You're a demon god?"

"It's no surprise that you think that way." Sonia shook her head, "But I'm not. ”

She looked at Alice with a little pity, "If you had really dug out my heart and buried it deep in the cold, maybe the situation would have changed now." But ~~ it doesn't matter~"

"After all, you may not be as qualified as you are now."

"What exactly are you talking about? I don't understand a word! "Alice is just having enough! Nemo is like this, the incomprehensible thing in his body is like this, and now this Sonia who came out of nowhere is also like this! Say something she doesn't understand!

Wait, who is Nemo!?

"Do you want to know?" Sonya's voice came again, and it was less than an inch in front of her! The tip of the nose is going to hit it!

A mask appeared abruptly above Sonya's palm. Quietly levitating.

This is the mask she got at the Western Tower! Alice was pretty sure it was the one, but it was supposed to lie in the ashram of the Temple of Ginalais!

"This is your trophy, why don't you put it on and try it?"

"I'll wear this mask when I feel the need, but not now." Alice replied calmly.

"That's a shame." Sonya's nose wrinkled, and she looked like she was about to cry, but her voice was still cheerful: "You could have known your past, but you cruelly refused. It's really your style. ”

"Do you know my past!?" Alice's eyes widened. She asked eagerly, "Sue me, what is my true identity!?" ”

"Identity is just a title, why do you care so much?" Sonia shook her head and chuckled. Around her, a burst of light and shadow surged.

"I can call you Lord Alice." A Sonia stepped out of the streamer and nodded lightly at Alice.

"You may also be called Lord." Another Sonia appeared, bowing to her chest.

"I can also call you Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." The fourth, Sonya, bowed respectfully to Alice.

They returned to become the original Sonya. Reaching out and gently stroking Alice's cheek, "But these are meaningless and useless to you." ”

"You just need to remember that your current identity is Dwarkin in the dragon language, a dragonborn in the eyes of mortals. You are the dragon of the north, Ismir. ”

"Dragonborn? What is that!? ”

"As long as you identify yourself in Snow City, someone will naturally sue you."

Alice was about to ask again, but her words were interrupted by Sonya.

Sonia raised the mask in her hand, "Since you don't want to wear it now, then leave it in my custody for the time being." If your mood changes, then head west and north, and I'll be waiting for you in ████. ”

She gave Alice a gentle kiss on the cheek.

The world is back to normal.

The dragon's skeleton was still rocking slightly, and its position barely changed.

Alice clenched her fists.

"What's the matter!??

………………

When Alice returned to the temple, Lord Snowman was already there waiting for her.

Not many people have seen Alice kill the dragon, but the lord is clearly not among the uninformed.

"What!? Are you a Dragonborn? Even when Minimenil demolished the Longxiao Palace, Barguf had never shown such a panicked expression. He asked again and again, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he fell into deep thought.

"What is a Dragonborn?" While Bargoff was thinking, Alice asked Lydia in a whisper as she stood next to her.

"It is said that it is the warrior of the legendary mortal dragon soul. They were immensely powerful, and they were the bloodline of the previous emperors. Lydia also whispered to her, "Miss Alice, are you really a dragonborn?" It's not just fun! ”

It seems that it was indeed a big mistake not to tell Sù Lydia about this news in the first place. Alice thought remorsefully. It's obviously not a good thing to be associated with the royal family, and it's even worse to have a blood connection with the previous royal family.

She didn't really want to do anything in Xueman, so she was ready to escape.

Now, no one should be able to stop her.

"I see." The lord raised his head, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable color. "Then it all makes sense, only the Dragonborn can actually kill a dragon. No wonder you have such a powerful power at your disposal, and I must thank you for saving the lives of all the people in the snowy city. ”

This answer was obviously unexpected by Alice, and she was suddenly stunned, and did not react for a while.

But the lord didn't seem to have any intention of relieving her, he looked at Alice, and said, "People like you should not be treated as commoners, and I have decided to grant you the title of baron." Provantes, go and explain her privileges to Baron Alice. He pointed his finger at Lydia, "You're Lydia Storm, aren't you?" ”

Without waiting for Lydia to answer, the lord said to himself. "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Influenced by more than ten years of education, it was difficult for Lydia to resist the lord's orders. She just glanced at Alice, who was confused, and obediently followed the lord and his guards.

They stopped in an open area, at least three hundred feet from where Alice was, and Provantes' extraordinary tongue-bombing prowess ensured that Alice could not even hear a word.

"Irelis." Barguf glanced at his chief guard, who immediately jumped high enough and far enough to keep an eye on it.

"I remember, this girl named Alice saved your life, right?" The lord said slowly.

"Yes, sir." Lydia looked a little reserved, her fingers wrenched together uneasily.

"I still remember, you're the last remaining bloodline of the Storm Clan."

Lydia immediately nodded busily.

Very well, the lord patted her on the shoulder, and looked the girl's figure up and down, until the latter's cheeks were stained with a layer of crimson, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"I have a task for you."

………………

Alice found a stone in the ruins of the temple, asked Ruby for a glass of water, and sat down.

She was almost stunned by Provantus just now! She didn't expect that being a nobleman would have so many troublesome things to do. Although he is only an honorary baron who has no territory and does not need to swear allegiance, there is actually a small mountain of rituals that need to be understood, procedures to go through, and the text that needs to be signed!

Even with Ruby's help, and Provantus sharing most of the burden for her, she still felt tired.

Not many people knew that she was the one who slayer the dragon, and Ruby was one of them. But to her surprise, Ruby did not take the initiative to interrogate her, and it seems that Alice's previous judgment of Ruby's character was a huge mistake.

The ebony blade was at Alice's feet. Barguf must have seen it, but he didn't. Apparently, he tacitly assumed that ownership of the sword belonged to Alice. However, in order not to attract attention, Alice still spent a little time melting a gold and silver candlestick, using it to cover the ebony material.

"Mistress Alice?"

There was a call in front of her that Alice didn't like very much, but she could hear Lydia when she was still fifty feet away from her, so she didn't show a look of annoyance.

She looked up, but the sight of Lydia in front of her really made her feel a pang of amazement.

She was dressed in a black light steel armor, which was carefully crafted by a skilled craftsman, not only providing excellent protection, but also the leather and steel plates also set off the girl's seductive body curves well, her hair was tied back, and a fresh breath rushed towards her.

Little Ruby's exclamation was heard from the side, but Lydia ignored it. She just looked at Alice and got down on one knee.

"A baron, there should be her guard." She looked at Alice earnestly, her eyes full of determination, "I am willing to be loyal to you and be your sword and shield." Remove an obstacle for you and protect you from danger. ”

She took off the long sword from her waist and held it high with both hands.

"Lord Alice, please accept your allegiance to Lower Lydia Storm. The body and mind are driven by you. ”

Alice raised her eyes, her eyes almost piercing the depths of Lydia's soul.

Her eyes were pure, and there was nothing but a graceful sound reflected in them.

It's a pity that the person in Lydia's eyes is still not Alice.

Alice smiled, and she took the sword from Lydia's hand and placed the blade on the gray-eyed girl's shoulder.

"I accept your allegiance, my guard."

…… Meanwhile......

The snowy gates slowly opened, and several heavily armed knights hurried south.

They have important information on their side, and it is imperative that they reach the Platinum Pagoda in Sirodil in the shortest possible time. There, the Ancient Council and the Emperor were waiting for them.
