Struggling again and again in the mire of blood and sin,

Maybe it's not beautiful,

But he was never for himself.

******

Alice Phil is gone, also when Chu Ge is asleep.

The difference is that when he woke up, Chu Ge didn't panic, just looked at the envelope lying on the table next to him, and sighed in a wry smile.

He tilted his head back slightly, and laughed bitterly:

"I've done my best, but isn't it enough?"

Then he shook his head, dispelling the long-lost sentimentality from his mind, and reached for the letter.

The colophon of the envelope was engraved with a thorn flower, with a faint fragrance on it, and the fire lacquer was imprinted with the image of two snakes entwined with a branch. Underneath the fire paint hangs a small silver medallion, a gift from Alice Phil.

Valuable gifts.

"Restricting the envelope, it's a little different from what she's used to."

Chu Ge carefully put the medal in the storage space, and then gently opened the envelope.

Regardless of the contents, the handwriting on the letterhead alone is sold as a work of art, and it is estimated that it will make a poor family live a good life for a few days.

"Yours sincerely,

…… (1086 words are omitted here, I don't think you would be interested in reading more)"

Although the font is beautiful, the content is unexpectedly formal and subtle, full of the restraint unique to high-ranking nobles, and the expression is nothing more than gratitude to himself and apologies without saying goodbye, all in all, these contents are not what Chu Ge wants to see.

Reading between the lines, you can guess that when Ellie was writing to herself, Lily must have stared at her with displeasure on her face, trying to keep an eye on her Highness to prevent her from writing anything out of the ordinary.

Of course, there may be something else behind it.

"Ahh Not...... Lily is really strange, why do you have to leave a letter for that white hair, Your Highness? ”

In the carriage continuing south, Lily asked, wiping her nose as she held her small handkerchief.

Alice Phil touched Lily's little head and said with a gentle smile:

"People saved my life, even if I don't say goodbye, if I don't even leave a letter, it's really ......"

"Ah, Your Highness, you are fooling me with this excuse again! You should know, my ability is the same type as you, so you are not sincere at all, and I can still feel it! ”

"What's more, no matter how special that white hair is, it's only a first-order, and after being healed by you, it's still weak like that, and if there are ten more, I can also press and beat with one hand, how can I save you like you said?"

Lily rubbed her two pigtails in anguish, staring at Alice Fell with an unwilling expression, as if her highness had been snatched away by someone else.

After hearing the words of the pseudo-Lori Lily, Alice Phil couldn't help but show a wry smile, and after thinking about it, she replied:

"Hmm...... You can sense some of it's true, but you can't deny that everything I've said before is true. ”

"Even if it's not sincere, but it's true, you can't doubt your own abilities."

"Hmm...... That's what makes me so upset! Hum! I guess at most, while you're fighting, the cowardly White Fur climbs up a tree and hides, then accidentally falls off the tree and hits the necromancer - 'save' you that way! ”

"Maybe you want to see him look too pretty...... Pain, pain, pain! ”

As if she couldn't stand the little maid's arrangement, Alice Fell pulled the other party's smooth little face with one hand, and supported her chin with the other hand, looking out of the window.

There was a faint expectation in his eyes.

Do you believe in fate?

"Do you believe in fate......

Chu Ge worked hard to translate and slowly read out the sentence.

It was one of the clues he spent a few minutes finding from the envelope.

"Of course I don't believe it, fate or something has already been defeated by me once......"

He smiled and muttered to himself as he put the letter back in the envelope, and suddenly, as if remembering something, his face turned slightly worse.

"Fate......

After retracting the envelope into storage, he looked out of the painted window and looked at the sunset in the distance.

"It's a really embarrassing question."

According to the clues on the envelope, the reason why Alice Phil and the others came here was not only to travel to the continent, but also to find a way to remove the brand of the ancient gods, so they often took the initiative to intervene in some strange events, and this Scarlet Woodland incident was the same.

'Just try your luck, I can't really find it.' ’

After only one day's stay, they said goodbye to Westmar and continued on their quest to find the curse lifted.

Another point, that medal was a gift she left to Chu Ge, although the specific purpose was only briefly described, but Chu Ge was no stranger to this thing and was very familiar with it.

After all, he also had an identical badge in his previous life.

"Well, it's a little different from what I remember......

Chu Ge shook his head, ended the boundless speculation in his heart, and set his eyes on the room.

It is estimated that it is because he controls the source of the shadow himself this time, so the coma time after mental overdraft is longer than in his previous life, and the time after waking up is almost afternoon.

To his surprise, his body did not feel too much discomfort after waking up, and there was no soreness in the muscles and joints, and it seemed that Ellie had indeed put a lot of thought into the treatment.

There were many residual scars on his body, but all but his right hand, which was tightly bandaged, had recovered.

The tattered suit had been replaced with new civilian clothes, except for the shin guards, which were still tied to the shin bones and had not been removed.

After getting out of bed, he pushed the door straight out, this room was the room he had been arranged to rest in the baron's mansion last night, so he was familiar with it.

At this time, there were already many people in the living room, but the strange thing was that the atmosphere was not lively, but a little unexpectedly dull.

"Ino, you're here!" Baron Said stood up.

In fact, Pei Yin noticed Chu Ge's figure one step ahead of Baron Said, but he didn't make a sound, but quietly waited for Baron Said to speak.

The baron's voice pulled Karina and Yuu back into their thoughts, and both girls were acting a little unusually at the moment.

Yuu was slightly better, but seemed more silent than before, while Karina looked worried and anxious, and it seemed that she was not hurt from the outside, but she gave a rather weak feeling.

Before the baron could continue to speak, Karina immediately stood up from her chair, stumbled to Chu Ge and asked:

"Ino, did you see Al? Neither Yu nor I can find him! ”

Karina's voice has lost its former enthusiasm, like a tulip that has been frosted overnight, and her words reveal unprecedented worry and powerlessness, and even a faint fear!

While asking, the girl raised her head, her haggard eyes staring at Chu Ge for a moment, as if she was desperately praying for an answer.

"Yes, you guessed it right, he died......"

- Died like a hero.

Chu Ge replied to himself.
