Lair Chapter: Section 1

Unexpectedly.

When the doll was delivered to Helji intact. The ghost of the little girl does not show how cheerful she is.

"Yes, is this the only one back?", she said quietly, holding the doll tightly in her arms, as if she wanted to bring it into her chest. In the immature voice of a young girl, there is a sentimentality that does not correspond to her age.

"Am I mistaken?" asked Alice.

Helji shook his head, "No, there's no mistake. ”

"This is the doll that Helji wants, and there is only one and only one in the world...... It was Raylet who sewed it to Helji with his own hands. ”

Perhaps because she had become a ghost, the order in which she spoke was a little confused. But that doesn't detract from what she wants to say. and the thoughts that are embedded in this meaning.

"Raylet, I guess she's dead. Yes, Alice is so powerful, how can a vampire who has not been born much can win? It must be like in a storybook, [being stabbed in the chest by a hero] and then just dying. ”

Alice was a little stunned.

[She knows it all!? Then she still ......]

"I'm sorry," the young girl's ghost smiled apologetically. "Helji really didn't want to go alone. And my mother's hatred can't just give up. It was painful to be burned to death, but because he had been bitten by Raylet before, Helji stayed for so long. That's why I was able to wait until Alice. ”

Alice felt that her worldview was almost being turned upside down. What kind of is this!? After working for a long time, it turned out that it was for the revenge of a little girl! She stepped forward and stretched out her hand to grab Helji. However, just as she was about to reach out. Helji's body faded as quickly as a mist in the sun.

faded.

Wraiths fade in form, meaning they are about to disappear.

And rightfully so. Because if the spirit wants to survive, it must have an obsession to maintain it. And when this obsession is gone, complete disappearance is the only end.

This can also be called rest.

"Maybe that's the best ending for us. Helji said softly, gently stroking the doll's hair. She then bent down and bowed to Alice.

"May you be happy, Sister Alice. ”

The words landed, and her form completely collapsed. The doll, which had lost its support, fell to the ground with a soft 'poof' sound.

“……”

Alice picks up the doll.

It took her some time to find the grave that the corpse collector had dug for Helji. Then he dug a small pit next to it and buried the puppet in it.

She had nothing to say.

………………………………………………

When the sun's trajectory rotates a small block above the celestial dome and is close to the ground. Alice is finally back in the city of Mosar.

I'm in a bad mood and don't know what to do.

The underground tremors that had been felt frequently before have finally stopped. Although there are still some faint aftermaths, they are no longer at a level that can be detected without careful perception. So you don't need to worry too much about it.

Minnie's business is done. She saved her twice, she saved herself once, and in short, she didn't owe her anything. All the potions and everything are ready. I don't need to have much contact with her in the future.

Then, there is only one thing left - find the dragon and then defeat her.

Or be killed by her.

"No matter how you look at it, the odds of winning on my side are relatively low. Even with the spitting eyes, can I really cut through the dragon's defenses with my strength?" Alice lowered her head and looked at the mercury sword on her belt. "It's not ebony. ”

She was a little frustrated. But that's nothing.

It is the common sense of the whole Nairn to use in and out. Anyway, no matter which one is left in the end, its body is Alice, friends will not be implicated, and irrelevant people will not suffer from it.

So that's good, that's good.

It's victory or defeat, life or death. Then it will be up to the Holy Spirit to favor which side he prefers.

If it was Akatosh, he would definitely value the dragon more. If not......]

What does it have to do with me?]

She tilted her head, her gaze sweeping across the street.

[Ah, there's a tavern that opened early.] 】

Alice looked up at the sky, even though it was late. But the sun hasn't completely set down yet. Well, there won't be too many people in the tavern until nightfall.

Sure enough, just as she had envisioned. When she walked into the tavern, there weren't many people in the tavern.

She asked for a gallon of ale and sat down in a quieter seat next to her. There are very few people now, and it's not the time for drunkards to start making trouble. Presumably take a break here...... I guess there won't be any problems.

That's what Alice thought.

That's what she did.

Although the amount of alcohol is terrible, it is only a psychological effect. With her constitution, this little ale was not enough to make any difference to her. At most, it's just a little dizzy.

Five minutes later, she collapsed on the table and fainted.

……………………

Alice had a dream.

In the dream she lived in a palace that was big, wide, and gorgeous, and she didn't have to worry about food or clothes. Whatever you want, a competent servant will give it at once.

She is not alone, but an older sister with many younger sisters. Perhaps because of her personality, her sisters didn't listen to her much.

They are very naughty and always like to come and snatch her things. She doesn't really care about it, though, because the stolen items are always quietly put back to her, and often come with giveaways.

Probably this is the special way that sisters care about their sisters, and there is nothing to worry about.

She never cared, and she didn't have the time to care.

Because, she has a very important book to read.

It was a black book, very thick, and quite sturdy both on the cover and on the pages. The title page of the book has a giant totem that resembles a giant octopus. Dark tentacles locked all the pages like chains.

She didn't really like the totem - the row of eyes on the octopus's head always made her feel dizzy.

However, she knew she needed to read the book.

Her sisters often come to disturb her, perhaps just to get her attention off the book. Instead, focus on what she needs to care about.

However, she did not waver. Because the title page of the book is already very loose, it is very easy to see the contents.

Suddenly, a younger sister with blonde hair suddenly fell.

…………………………

Alice opened her eyes. She felt the placement she had made before she collapsed being touched.

"Very perceptive, Miss Alice. A somewhat familiar voice came from across the table. "I thought your vigilance had dropped. Is it because you're in a safe place, so you're slacking?"

Alice raised her head, and her slightly tense spirit was quietly loosened after seeing the face of the person who came.

"Oh, it's you. Chamak. Alice glanced at him weakly. "I stuffed a frozen rune in my seat. Magical markings were placed on their clothes and wallets. There is also a Wizard armor that triggers instantly. So don't worry about my sleep problems at all. ”

"Looks like I'm overthinking. The Redguard smiled. Take a seat across from Alice. His gaze drifted across Alice's throat and he made a sound of surprise.

"Are you able to speak normally? The wound on my throat has healed. ”

"Well, a good doctor. Alice nodded, and asked, "What about you?" has you found the person you're looking for......? Something. ”

"Not yet, just got some news. Chamak shook his head with some regret. "Now the war is in chaos, and Mosal is not very peaceful. It will take some time to find her. ”

"It's a pity. Alice shook her head slightly. "I wish you a speedy success. ”

"Ha, that's thanks to Ji Yan. Chamak laughed freely, looking left and right.

"By the way, what about Jamila? She was with you when I left...... Do you know where she's gone? I've got something to look for her. ”

"What is this......" Alice had a distressed look on her face.

"Can't tell?"

"No, I don't know. Alice sighed. Said with annoyance: "I was involved in a bunch of troublesome things before. And Jamila separated. I'm the one who caused her...... I've been looking for her now, too. ”

"Is that so?" Chamak frowned deeply. "Then that's a problem......"

"What, do you have anything important to do with her?"

"No, I wasn't actually looking for her. Chamak shook his head and pointed to another table not far away. "The one who was looking for her was one of my two friends. I have some forging problems and want to borrow her bone armor......"

Alice turned her head to look at the other side of the tavern, the table that Chamak was referring to.

Two people, one male and one female.

The woman is wearing a pair of majestic armor, and she looks very difficult to mess with. The man, on the other hand, was wrapped in a dark cloak and wore a strange wooden mask—the kind of outfit that you could guess with your nose that it was a wizard.

[Mask ......?]

When Alice looked at them, they also cast friendly glances at Alice.

Feeling, it is necessary to get acquainted?

Alice stood up and walked in the direction of the two men.

However, just as she took her first steps. An unimaginably thick alarm suddenly hit her brain. She even felt like her heart stopped beating and the blood started to flow backwards!

This is...... What the?

[This feeling...... It's like when I was in Loristed......]

"Get down !!!"
