【Chapter 010】 The world is so big, I want to go and see it

Qin Song wanted to tell her in a solemn, forceful voice: "Yes, I can!"

But it's a pity, I can only think about it in my heart, raising one eye, Alice's fair and beautiful face is reflected in the pupils, two clear and bright eyes, like a dark blue bay, flashing bright colors, a pair of delicate thin eyebrows, a smile and a smile, are full of innocence and clarity, hiding the charm of a girl.

Her smile was very contagious, and the sorrow in Qin Song's heart seemed to be healed.

Soon Alice shook her head and laughed, "What a fool I am, I actually asked a little octopus for the meaning of knowledge." ”

However, you are just asking me for knowledge, Qin Song thought secretly in his heart. This feeling of being close at hand, but not knowing the truth, is very strange and wonderful.

"But what exactly do the gods mean by knowledge? Ah, yes!

"The Story of Leroy", Alice's enlightenment book, a parchment book with a hardcover cover, was a birthday present from Waterdeep brought by her father to the Duke of Ceylon, and is now a memento of her father's memory.

The story of Leroy tells the story of a rabbit named Leroy in the forest, and his good friend Gran Cat, Samir's old camel, and a black wolf named Iago.

Her father once took her in his arms, read aloud, and told young Alice: "In Leroy you can learn bravery, perseverance, wisdom." ”

Perhaps, wisdom is knowledge, right?

Alice, who had found the breakthrough point, picked up the parchment book and read it aloud in a crisp voice. The sunlight outside the window shone on the long golden hair and fair face, shining with brilliance and emitting a series of sounds full of innocence.

"Leroy greeted him warmly: 'Hi Gran, good morning'. ”

"You too, lovely Leroy. ”

Qin Song, who was lying in the pottery urn, listened carefully, and in this empty room, it seemed that even the sound had become alive and full of vitality.

She's really an annoying girl. Not delicate, not selfish, full of sunshine and vitality, just like her magical qualities, golden elves.

【Eye of Insight】

Tiredness increases by 5%.

Name: Alice Sander

God of Faith: The dream god of the innocent girl, the master of a thousand witches, and the majestic Krem.

Faith: 14% (Believe)

Loss: 29% (calm)

Trait: Inactive

Potential: ★★★

Qin Song couldn't help but check Alice's state, and chose to believe in her own existence in her heart, and what was even more gratifying was that with Qin Song's encouragement and enlightenment, her mental state gradually calmed down.

Hawkers, it's still very rewarding to make a lost little girl become sunny again. And there is a difference of 6%, you can open Alice's metal trait - the golden elf, awaken as a witch.

All morning, Alice was immersed in the physical and mental pleasure that reading brought her. And Qin Song didn't have the need to use the [Connecting Brand].

Until noon, Mary, an old maid in overalls and a turban, brought her lunch. A torn bread, an omelette, a piece of cheese, and a bowl of fish soup, Alice reluctantly put down the book, elegantly tore the bread, and dipped it in the fish soup. As a noble lady who has been instructed in etiquette, any loud talk, rudeness, and gobbling that could ruin the image is not allowed.

But lunch was interrupted in the middle of the day, and after a short break, Leah changed into brown half-body leather armor, her fiery red wavy hair was erected with ribbons, and she wore a sword around her waist, looking heroic.

"Alice, I've got good news!" Although her expression still looked a little haggard, there was more excitement in her eyes: "Uncle Carrick has returned safely!"

Alice's grace was interrupted, and her expression became equally excited: "Really? Uncle Carrick, is he finally back?"

"Yes, when the scouts saw the ship docking, they rushed back and told me!" Leah smiled with relief, Karrick and the old butler Ryan were her father's right-hand men, one inside and one outside. The old steward Lien was in charge of the castle and the farmstead, while Karrick, as the leader of the caravan, was responsible for trafficking the spices and cotton produced by Blackstone to other cities in exchange for armor, ironware, farming tools, and some profits.

Cinnamon, a fine spice loved by the aristocracy, was the most valuable economic product of the Blackstone Collar. After the Green Grass Festival (mid-April), Carrick himself led a team loaded with the finest cinnamon and transported it to the commercial city of Arabe through the port outside the town of Daotan.

According to past experience, it will be a month and a half to return to the flight, and only two months at the latest. However, for nearly three months, from the Green Grass Festival (mid-April) to the Midsummer Festival (late July), there was no news of the return of the flight.

The scouts sent by Ria to Daotan, after much inquiry, learned that there had been a storm at sea in the Uzumaki Sea during the Blossom Moon (June), and some of the surviving fleets described countless broken sampans and swollen corpses floating on the sea, so Karrick's fleet may have been more than lucky.

This is a fatal blow to the already difficult Blackstone Collar. Not only has he lost his valuable goods, but he has also lost his young and vigorous Carrick, and you must know that the health of the old butler of Lien is deteriorating, and I am afraid that he will not last long. If Karrick is lost again, then after Leah goes on the expedition, only the weak Alice will be left in the entire castle, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Karrick's return finally made Liya, whose mood had sunk to the bottom, breathe a long sigh of relief. At least with Carrick's help, Alice's life won't be too difficult for the rest of her life.

"There's no time to delay. Alice, you stay at the castle. Uncle Carrick and our cargo will arrive safely before dark. ”

"No, sister, I'm going to meet Uncle Karrick, I haven't seen him for three months. ”

Alice lost her mother at a young age, and her father was busy with government affairs, and Uncle Carrick took care of her the most, except for the old maid Mary, and almost every time she came back from a long trip, he would bring her some fun or delicious small gifts.

"Alice, Blackstone Canyon is full of dangers!" Leah paused, thinking of her relationship with Carrick, and nodded reluctantly, "Okay. We're going to bring more knights. But before that, you have to finish your lunch. We may not be able to get back until the night. ”

"I understand. ”

In this anxious situation, Alice obviously didn't care about aristocratic etiquette, and quickly finished eating bread, drinking clean fish soup, and changing into a goose yellow dress of cotton, which was quickly prepared.

I'm going out, this is a rare opportunity to let off steam. Qin Song was naturally full of expectations, and the [Connecting Imprint] could finally be put to use.

The world is so big, I really want to see it!
