Ji Ran hugged Alice, but he didn't dare to push too hard, as if he was holding a fragile porcelain doll.

"Alice will always be a lovely Alice, and even if she is today, she doesn't look annoying. And unlike Alice usually, she looks more beautiful! ”

He mouthed words of comfort and patted Alice on the back gently. He had never comforted anyone—well, comforting Lydia was his pitiful experience of comforting others—so he had no idea what to do now.

Luckily, Alice's sobs quickly disappeared.

"I'm really more beautiful like that?" Little Lori buried her head in Ji Ran's arms and said sullenly.

"Of course it's true! How to say it, Alice is usually very cute, and people can't help but want to protect you. But at that time, Alice was angry for the safety of everyone, but it made people feel very reliable. By the way, the little apple was also very majestic at that time, and almost killed the gold-level powerhouse directly in seconds! ”

Ji Ran tried hard to recall Alice's appearance at that time. Because the situation was critical at the time, Ji Ran didn't look at Alice too carefully. But now that I think about it, it seems that Alice's head fluttered behind her like a black cloak...... At that time, Alice seemed to have two tiny ears on the top of her head? An extra fluffy tail behind you? I can't remember a little, but it was really beautiful.

Different from the previous cuteness, Alice at that time was majestic and had a feeling of "fighting Lori". The gratuitous end makes people feel powerful...... Of course, it's really powerful.

Ji Ran's comfort seemed to have had an effect. At least Alice wasn't as depressed as she was before. In Ji Ran's arms for a while. It was still the little apple who felt a little uncomfortable and moved, so that Alice raised her head as if she was awake.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited. What I had been afraid of for a long time finally came out today, and I was afraid that if it was really like what I imagined, you would leave me...... Fortunately, my worries were unnecessary. ”

Ji Ran looked at Alice, who still had tears on her face, just like the little flower cat. Reached out and scratched her nose: "So, don't be cranky in the future!" It's a miracle that we can come together. You have to believe in miracle life, don't think about everything in a bad way, understand? ”

Alice nodded vigorously: "Yes! Our meeting is the arrangement of fate! Fate arranged it like this, there must be her meaning. What I want to do is find out what it means, not think about it! ”

Alice's words were like a little spark. It exploded in Ji Ran's mind, instantly illuminating his mind.

"That's right...... It's fate. Our fate. Even if they are not intertwined, there must be many close intersections. Don't deny this qiē lightly, believe in us, and believe in yourself! ”

Ji Ran looked at Alice, but his heart was churning.

Is it also the arrangement of fate that I came to this world by myself? When I met Les Erin, it should also be the intersection of my fate and them, right? Such a fate must have her meaning, right?

Now confused, is it useful? Would you like to live in the luxury of being in the city all day, protected by safety, and then relying on alchemy or cooking and brewing?

Asking himself, Ji Ran felt that his heart did not allow him to live like that.

What about your original rhetoric? What about your own ambitions? Take your destiny into your own hands...... It's easy to say, but now, why did you forget about it?

Gave up because of the hardships on the road and moved on? What is the difference between my current life and before?

If there is danger, improve your strength so that danger does not become danger! There is a long way to go, so use your own strength to crush the past! Standing at the top of this world and grasping your own destiny, this ideal must not be abandoned!

"Thank you, Alice." Ji Ran held Alice's shoulders with both hands and looked at her sincerely.

"Thank me? Why? I think I should thank Ji Ran for ......" Alice's eyes were a little puzzled. It's obvious that I've been comforted, so why thank myself?

"Because of Alice's words, I feel that I am still a useful person! Trust me, Alice, I don't hate you, no one else hates you. So, rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, we will stand with you! ”

Alice looked at Ji Ran and suddenly nodded vigorously: "En!" I believe in Ji Ran! Ji Ran will definitely not be useless, at least for me, Ji Ran is one of the greatest people! ”

Looking at Alice, Ji Ran smiled. Alice, though she didn't know why, laughed the same.

"Alright, it's late, let's go to bed early. Children should go to bed early to grow up quickly! Seeing that Alice's mood had recovered, Ji Ran persuaded her to go back to sleep.

"Is that so? But Alice grew up very slowly...... Mom and Dad said so. Ji Ran wants Alice to grow up, does he want to marry Alice as a bride as soon as possible? Alice looked at Ji Ran with wide eyes.

Ji Ran was dumbfounded. Why did you get to this topic again...... Speaking of which, Alice is indeed knowledgeable in some aspects, but in this aspect, it seems that only the person she likes should get married...... Hey, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that......

"No, no, no...... Not so. But even if you don't want to grow up quickly, you have to go to bed early, so that you will have energy tomorrow. Everyone is hurt, and there may be other dangers tomorrow. Alice is actually very strong, right? Maybe you'll need Alice to protect you tomorrow, so it's necessary to keep your spirits up! ”

Alice looked at Ji Ran and shook her head: "It's okay, I used to go without sleep for many days, and my parents didn't say anything." Let me be here with you tonight. ”

Ji Ran also planned to persuade Alice. But on second thought. Today's events should have had a big impact on Alice. Now let her go to sleep, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep well. Why don't you just let her be by your side...... With her physique, I'm afraid it's really like what she said, it's okay to not sleep for a few days.

So, Ji Ran asked Alice to lean on himself, and the two of them looked up at the stars together. By the way, put dry wood in the fire and let the heat of the campfire continue - it is also close to late autumn, and the temperature is still quite cold at night.

Ji Ran and Alice didn't speak. Enjoy the tranquility. After a while, Ji Ran lowered his head, but it was now that Alice was asleep leaning on him.

In addition to crying and laughing, Ji Ran was also a little relieved. At least I can still give others a sense of security...... In this way, I really have some use.

Inside the tent in the back, Anya turned over. Erin, who was next to her, snorted softly.

"That guy is still quite good at coaxing girls."

"Really? Why didn't I feel it...... But he's an easy guy to trust. ”

Anya, who seemed to be asleep, replied to Erin softly.

"Maybe...... So. These people will always follow him to mess around. ”

Anya sneered: "That's what I said." Actually, the captain of this team should be Rice, right? But I don't know why, I always feel that Ji Ran is in charge. ”

"Les is a good captain. Ji Ran...... More like the one who came up with the idea...... Should it be called a military division? Erin replied to Anya very seriously.

Anya yawned, "Even if it's right...... I was worried a little when Alice went out just now, but now it seems to be fine. Okay, you can sleep, today, I'm really tired. ”

Erin didn't answer. Soon, Anya's breathing became heavy.

The next day, as soon as it was light, everyone got up.

Everyone else got up, but Alice slept soundly. In desperation, Ji Ran could only carry Alice back to the tent and let her sleep for a while. When she left Ji Ran's arms, Alice seemed to be a little reluctant. But soon, the sleeping bag with Erin and Anya's body temperature still left her back asleep.

Ji Ran collected some dry firewood outside, and then took out the ingredients to cook breakfast. The aroma of polenta quickly spreads around, making the morning a little warm.

Les and Ben both stepped out of the tent - Ben was able to move with difficulty, but at least he could barely sit down by the campfire with Rice's support. He was covered in bandages, and his broken bones were held in place with branches.

"Ji Ran's food is always so appealing...... And the effect is very good. I think it won't be long before I'll be able to move on my own. Come on, give me some more, maybe I'll be able to go by myself later! ”

Ji Ran smiled and gave Ban a bowl of porridge, and then handed over some pickled pickles that he had made: "It's not so fast, let's stay on the stretcher today." Aside from alchemical potions and the spells of the Church of Light, there is no other good way to get you to walk in no time. However, those two things will leave hidden dangers, which are not necessary, and it is better to use them sparingly. ”

Ban took a sip of porridge and exhaled comfortably: "It's really delicious...... With this delicacy, who is impatient to drink any alchemical potion...... As long as you don't encounter any strong enemies on the next road. ”

Les poured himself a bowl of porridge on the side and sat down: "Don't worry, there are no too powerful demonic beasts on the way to that side." Moreover, the world's gold-level powerhouses are not rotten streets, how can they say that they will encounter them? Don't worry, we can solve all the other problems. ”

Ben immediately clutched his chest with a feigned sadness: "My role in the team is so small? No, I'm sad...... Ji Ran, you must make two more delicacies that I haven't eaten, so that I can enjoy them again before I go to suicide......"

"If you're going to kill yourself, you'd better run quietly to a place where no one is around, or you'll ruin our appetites. Speaking of which, Ben, you're looking more and more like your brother now. Erin sat down casually and took a sip of porridge.

Ban was stunned: "Is this really the case?" Could it be that I've been infected by that guy Baker? Oh my God......"

"No, no, no, it's not." Anya also sat down, "Actually, I've heard that in every team, there will be a ...... The funnier guy will do the role that makes everyone happy. I'm not familiar with Baker, but I think Ben filled the hole under this law! ”

Ban's face twitched, and finally he could only sigh: "Okay, I admit it." Maybe that's the only way for us brothers......"

Everyone laughed. Ben starts out as a more silent character and gives a sense of reliability. Now the feeling of reliability has not changed, but the personality has become much more cheerful. The silence before, eighty percent is not the character that Ban wants to show xiàn...... But with his own brother, he must take on a role that can hold the scene.

Perhaps, as Anya said, he was used to fill in the blanks of Baker......

Ji Ran and Les Erin both knew about his efforts. He is not only trying to become stronger, but also trying to enliven the atmosphere in the team. During this time, the pressure on the team was too great. Having someone like him to liven up the atmosphere can at least make everyone's mood much better.

Breakfast began, and Alice came out of the tent with her eyes wiped her eyes. No matter how she sleeps, this little Lori will always wake up naturally when she eats - probably because of her keen sense of smell.

A large pot of porridge was eaten by everyone, and some other roast meat, roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes were also eaten. Yesterday everyone was very tired, and now it's normal to eat a little more.

After tidying up the surroundings, everyone began to hurry again.

Now everyone is already within the borders of the Ere Empire - of course, for adventurers, borders often mean little. Because the border guards could not be everywhere, they only held the place where the army could pass guò.

A small group of adventurers like Ji Ran has always run around casually...... Most of those countries don't care about them, because it doesn't mean much.

The place where they walk now is still inaccessible because the terrain is very difficult here. Risking here is not worth the big danger and the small income. And the small team will not be able to bear the danger here, so after walking for a long time, everyone did not meet other adventurers.

Of course, this is also a good thing...... The condition of everyone is not very good, and fighting again will inevitably aggravate the injuries on their bodies. In that case, it will be even farther away from the day of returning home.

After a few days, the crowd finally left the Endless Mountains. Beneath the Endless Mountains lies a large grassland - where the herdsmen of the Ere Empire graze their herds.

Ben was barely able to move, and if he wasn't in a hurry, he wouldn't have to lie on a stretcher. In this endless grassland, there will not be too many obstacles to guide the class to guò, so everyone let the class walk slowly, which is also conducive to his recovery.

The rest of the people's injuries are almost healed, at least there is no problem with fighting for a short time. There is not much danger on the steppes of the Ere Empire...... After all, the herding crowd is not a powerful professional. I heard that every year, the Ere Empire will also send an army to sweep the demonic beasts on the grassland to ensure the safety of the herdsmen - because grazing is also a big income for the Ere Empire.

After walking through the grassland for two more days, they suddenly saw a green lake in the distance. Next to the lake, a small town appeared in front of everyone. (To be continued......)
