【Chapter 156】 Let me go first!
"Alice, this feels awkward. ”
Linda, who had taken off her leather armor, was now wearing a lilac cardigan tight-fitting petticoat, a long coat with silk threads that had reached the petal pattern, and the gloves on her hands had been replaced by thin silk gloves.
What made her feel the most uncomfortable was the strip of cloth wrapped around her waist, which was tightly wrapped and very cramped in order to highlight her slender waist.
"Ah...... No, I can't breathe, I feel like I'm going to be strangled. ”
Elena, dressed in the same dress, stuck out her tongue, only the color of the petticoat was different from the color of the coat, but her body was already very slender, and she was tightly strung by the strips of cloth around her waist, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"Take it easy, Elena. ”
As the acting lord of the festival, Alice was dressed in a more solemn manner, wearing a pale yellow and gold petticoat, a silk coat, a velvet headdress on her head, and a short cane made of fragrant wood in her hands.
"Breathe lightly, evenly, and don't rush. Alice gently helped her rub her lower abdomen up and down: "Slow down, you'll get used to it." ”
"Alice, do you have to dress like this?" asked Elena timidly.
Alice stood a little farther away and looked at the washed Elena, her figure was delicate and thin, her waist was full of arms, and her washed fluffy and clean brown hair lined her melon seed face was fair and watery, especially the pointed chin and clear eyes, which looked very refreshing and pleasing.
"Oh my God, Elena, don't you think you're pretty right now?"
"Drifting...... Pretty?" Alice, who has long forgotten her childhood, is also a beautiful and lovely little girl, and she seems very unconfident.
"Yes!" Alice nodded heavily, "Pretty has to be shown." At the festival, your father will also participate. ”
"Uh, okay. Elena loosened the clothes around her waist uneasily: "It's really not going to strangle people, right?"
"Of course not. ”
"Alice. Linda on the side fiddled with her clothes, still feeling very awkward: "I don't have to, I'm too scary." ”
"Nope. Alice shook her head resolutely and looked at Linda seriously: "I just let all the guys who have laughed at you see you in a dress and be by my side." Prove to everyone that you're not a freak, and you're not a gargoyle. It's my good friend!"
"Yes, I'm for Alice!" Elena clenched her little fists, "Let them see what is truly righteous and what is evil ridicule." ”
Warm currents flowed through Linda's heart, and she smiled and nodded.
"Alright, it's almost time. Alice solemnly waved her fragrant wooden cane: "Celebrate the gift of our common great god, with our purest form, the most pious prayer!"
"For Krem!"
"Well, for Krem!"
The three of them cheered up, and with a reverent and cheerful mood, they walked out of the main fort.
But - there are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have infertility.
This good mood was soon shattered, and Eric, who was Carrick's right-hand man, was shrewd and clever, and after Lien's complete loss of power, his status improved significantly, and he gradually learned the beliefs of Alice and others, and kept his mouth shut.
But on this festive day, Eric's face was gloomy and terrible, and he hurried all the way along the stone road to the main fort, and when he saw Alice, he ran all the way away: "Lord Alice, wait!
Looking at the panting Eric, Alice's face was full of confusion: "What happened? Eric?"
"My lord, a carriage, Leah's carriage, is back. ”
"What!"
Alice was stunned like a lightning strike, and in an instant, the thoughts and worries that had been suppressed for a long time instantly turned into surprises, rushing in her heart.
But Eric's face was strangely gloomy: "I'm sorry, Lord Alice. There are only horse-drawn carriages. ”
"What!" Alice was stunned again, and anxiously asked, "Eric, tell me what happened? What is only the carriage, and Leah?"
"That's right. Eric gasped, "We were patrolling the scouts outside the castle and spotted a carriage approaching. Coming from Blackstone Canyon, but driving by the Black Forest Knights of Pol Dutt, the Archon of Dawtantown. Upon inquiry, it was learned that Ria had been invited to Daotan Town to discuss the secrets. ”
"What about the knight?"
He seemed impatient, and after proving his identity, he left with his companions. Only one carriage remained, driven back by our scouts. Just in case, I didn't let the carriage in and stopped outside the castle. ”
"Pol Dutt, Talk Town. Alice's pupils tightened, and her heart rose to her throat, the bloated consul was the son-in-law of the Duke of Ceylon: "Quick, take us to see." ”
At least Leah is alive, and being alive is hope!
Alice's heart was relieved, and what about Pol Dutt, and what about the Duke of Ceylon? Anyone who dared to attack Leah would surely have the fiercest and most merciless revenge.
Linda and Elena also realized the seriousness of the matter, looked at each other, and ran quickly after Alice.
The carriage parked outside the castle was surrounded by the castle guards arranged by Eric, and the arsonist and water truck some time ago were a lesson from the past.
Alice, full of anxiety, circled around the carriage, and with a twist of her brows, she was about to lift the curtain and get on the bus. And Linda, who was quick-eyed, grabbed her shoulder: "Alice, let me go first!"
The tacit understanding that had been formed long ago made Alice understand what Linda meant, and nodded slightly.
Linda took off her silk gloves, handed them to Alice, took a light breath, lifted the corners of her skirt and boarded the carriage, and slowly lifted the curtain of the door. A cursory observation shows only a few boxes and some messy blankets, but the light is not very good, and the view is not clear.
As Linda tried to go deeper, the messy blankets suddenly moved, a little cold light flickered, and stabbed at an incredible speed.
But for Linda, it's useless. Linda didn't even make a move to dodge, she opened her palm and met it, accurately holding the sharp blade, pinching it tightly, unable to move an inch.
The hunter who has been honed in the Colosseum for a long time, although he has rich combat experience, has not healed from serious injuries, his body is weak, and he has almost no strength to fight back, so he was easily snatched away by Linda.
Then, a pair of rough hands instantly grabbed her neck.
The hunter looked at the approaching terrible face, and did not show panic, calmly stared straight at it, and spat out a name: "Leah." ”
The strength in Linda's hand slackened by more than half, and she stared silently at the strange-looking, green-haired hunter in front of her.
"If this is Blackstone Castle, then I should find Leah's sister, Alice Sander. "In the Colosseum, where life or death is not born, the hunter faces death more than once, and his expression always remains indifferent, without any panic or fear.
"The dagger in your hand belongs to Leah. ”
"Alice. Linda backhanded the dagger through the crack in the curtain.
Alice looked at the familiar pattern on the bronze handle, couldn't hold it anymore, boarded the carriage, and leaned in front of the hunter: "This is Leah's dagger, who are you?"
"Are you Alice?" said the hunter calmly, "I don't have a name, but Leah saved my life." ”
"What about Leah, what about the other knights?"
"This doesn't seem to be the place to talk. The hunter coughed slightly, "However, Leah asked me to tell you that she's okay, don't worry." ”
Do not worry?
It's no wonder if you don't worry!
"Eh, Elena, what are you doing here?"
The carriage driven by Caice arrived at the castle gates, and Luna, dressed in a gorgeous blue dress with lace trims, jumped out of the carriage and looked at the scene in front of her with some surprise.
As a good companion, Luna is also invited by Alice to participate in the harvest festival.
