Chapter 206: The Christmas Dinner
Alice wakes up early and goes to bed late. Every morning before leaving the palace to visit the wealthy families of the Uriel tribe, Alice would sculpt for a day or so. Alice would sometimes use fatigue or discomfort as an excuse to end the dinner that was supposed to be held until midnight. When she returned to the palace at Mlinhan Palace, she would go to the garden and carve ice sculptures until after midnight, when she fell asleep.
For Alice, the anxiety and fear of arriving in Heaven was replaced by the joy and pride that comes from being a messenger of the light source. However, the joy and pride of being a messenger of light sources is consumed by the fear of being the living dead.
In the Far South, in the Hanjin White House, Grand Duke Litus's sentence "The Holy Messenger does not need to worry, the power of the light source is extremely magical, and the day the light source is found, the Holy Messenger's body will be restored to its original state", which gave Alice a glimmer of hope. She studied hard in the temple to prepare for the future when the light source was extinguished and the ash period came, and a new light source was found. She thought to herself, if she found the light source, not only could her body be restored, but she could even return to Earth.
Now in the Far North, sucking souls, and those terrible screams, Alice is distraught and overwhelmed. Although the emerald necklace made Alice no longer hear the mournful cry, the doubts and uneasiness in Alice's heart did not disappear because the mournful cry disappeared.
Ever since she came back from the valley late that night, Alice had been restless. That night, in the valley, the admonition of the golden handwriting, the evil power, the soul sucker, the mournful cry, the emerald necklace--- there was no need to ask, Alice knew that this emerald necklace must have come from the Grand Duke of Litus, these mysteries and questions, Alice knew that during the tour of the Seven Continents, she should not ask.
Alice originally wanted to find the answer through the Divine Codex, but the God's Codex only had a few words about the Titans and the forces of evil. Alice thought to herself that everything would have to wait until she returned to the temple to think about it in the long run, and she even had the idea of meeting Emperor Eric in person.
On the night she returns from the Snow Chapel, Alice begins to have nightmares. Every night, it's always the same nightmare, in which the Necromantic Flower kills a Green Publisher repeatedly. The pained expression of the green publisher before death, the mournful screams in the dream, mixed with the melodious music, always woke Alice in terror. In order to have fewer nightmares, Alice simply sleeps less and spends more time on ice sculptures.
"The Holy Messenger said that Christmas on earth is December 25th." The voice of the Marquis Harvey was very gentle, like a gentle wind blowing in his face, gently, "It is only a few days in December, and it is December 25th, the first Christmas of the Holy Messenger in Heaven, and Harvey hopes that the Holy Messenger can invite Harvey to have Christmas dinner with the Holy Messenger. He looked at Alice's green eyes, and he felt that the green of Alice's eyes was very similar to his.
The Marquis of Harvey learned from Alice that Christmas on earth is actually a religious festival in Christian countries, also known as Christmas, which is said to celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus. Most Western countries celebrate Christmas on December 25 every year, and some celebrate it in January. Christmas was originally a traditional holiday in Western countries, but in modern times, with the mutual influence of economic globalization and culture, more and more Eastern countries have also celebrated Christmas, even in China, where Wen Ying is located, Christmas has become a lively festival.
During these days, when Alice carved ice sculptures, the Marquis of Harvey was often by her side. As for the others, King Edward and Queen Caroline, Archduke Quirrell and Marquis Mary, and Archduke Litus occasionally came to visit.
Grand Duke Litus, who came twice, maybe every time he came to see the Marquis Harvey, he didn't come.
The others, gradually not coming, except the Marquis Harvey, came every day.
Every time the Marquis of Harvey accompanied Alice to carve ice sculptures, he just watched from the side, and did not help, but more often chatted with Alice. The topic of small talk between the two is mainly related to the earth.
The Marquis Harvey seems to be very interested in Earth and asks a variety of questions. For example, what is Christmas, who is Jesus, what is a Western country, what is an Eastern country, and which country is Wen Ying from...... Harvey also asked what the last thing Alice remembered about leaving Earth was.
For the question of the Marquis of Harvey, Alice knew a few more words, and if she didn't know, she said a few fewer words or answered "I don't know".
The temple had a special scribe to teach Alice, so Alice asked fewer questions. She also asked the preferences of the seven grand dukes or the marquis of each clan, the origin of the famous families of each clan, and so on.
As for Alice, since she became a holy messenger, the attendants of the temple spoke to her respectfully, and the Count Eva and the fourth duke of Mary, who were stationed in the temple, were more similar to high-level bodyguards, and they were just polite on weekdays, and those walkers didn't say a few words. During the pilgrimage tour of the Extreme South Continent and the Extreme North Continent, the Earls of the Protoss who visited were all in a hurry. Although Marquis Mary was often by her side, Marquis Marie seemed to have a weak temperament, and she was very polite with Alice. And the noble status of the Grand Duke of Quirrell and the Grand Duke of Litus--- Alice was looking forward to talking to the Grand Duke of Littles, but although the Grand Duke of Littles cared more about her than in the Far North, he kept a certain distance from her, tepid, and was as attentive as the Marquis of Harvey. Therefore, Alice also loved the Marquis Harvey to accompany her to carve ice sculptures, and the two of them chatted so freely, Alice felt happy.
"I'll call you Harvey, and you'll call me Alice." Alice's voice was soft: "Now, I'm looking forward to my first Christmas dinner in Heaven." ”
"Harvey will do his best to prepare a sumptuous heavenly Christmas dinner." Marquis Harvey smiled slightly. After a moment, he continued, "Tomorrow, the Holy Messenger will set off for O'Neill. Harvey originally wanted to follow Grand Duke Litus and Grand Duke Quirrell to escort the Holy Emissary to O'Neill Continent, but today he received a Void Arrow from Emperor Eric and asked Harvey and his father to go to the Dream Palace tomorrow, so Harvey could not escort the Holy Emissary to O'Neill Continent. ”
"In the future, on such occasions, call me Alice." Alice's green eyes shone brightly, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, a lovely smile appeared on her beautiful face, and her voice was as gentle as water: "Thank you." I'm looking forward to Christmas dinner in the near future. ”
