Once upon a time there was a mountain, there was a temple in the mountain, and there was an old monk in the temple, who was really pretty; he did not compete for spring, but only reported the spring, and when the mountains were full of flowers, he laughed in the bushes.

Forehead... The wooden wheels of the carriage ran over the gap in the stone road, making a sharp "creaking" sound, which always made Luo Xiaotian feel that it would not be long before the wheels fell apart.

I don't know why, Luo Xiaotian felt a little apprehensive, and he couldn't even calm down the story of "Once upon a time".

In fact, the creaking wheels will not fall apart for another half a year, and if properly maintained, the wheels of this carriage can be used for a long, long time.

Alice was leaning against the cushions of the carriage and closing her eyes to recuperate, and she had been sitting in the carriage for more than ten days, thinking that Alice must have been very tired. Luo Xiaotian simply closed his eyes and used the above content of the Nameless Meditation Method to exercise his mental power.

Speaking of which, this point is much better than the star map meditation method, the star map meditation method must always see the pattern to work, so although Luo Xiaotian has seen the star map meditation method, he still can't use the star map he remembered to increase his mental power.

......

"Miss Alice, are you here for Miss Nina?

"This is Nina's friend in Fink City, you can just call him Ronald, is Nina at home?"

As soon as the carriage stopped at the door of the Marquis Patrick's house, a butler greeted him.

"Miss Nina is in her room, Miss Alice, Mr. Ronald, please come with me. ”

This is a silver-haired, very old butler, as far as Luo Xiaotian knows, the people who are generally responsible for receiving at the door are young and junior butlers, unless there is only this one butler in the Marquis's Mansion.

Hawkers, these are not questions that Luo Xiaotian can care about and study now.

......

"Miss Nina, Miss Alice, and Mr. Ronald are here!"

Nina's house was on the second floor of this building, and Luo Xiaotian also met many maids and housekeepers who stopped to salute after seeing Alice along the way.

"What?!"

A sound of smaller and closer footsteps came from inside the door, and then Nina, who had not been seen for a long time, opened the door.

"Rollo, Alice, why are you here?"

Nina, who has not been seen for a long time, has grown much taller than before, and is no longer just like an ignorant little girl. At least now the pink pajamas she wore made her look like she was supposed to have them.

"Ahh

The door closed again with a "bang", leaving Luo Xiaotian and Alice, who had not had time to say a word.

Thankfully, it didn't take long for Nina to pick out the right clothes.

"Alright... Come in. Butler Wayne, I'm really sorry for you!"

"That's what I'm supposed to do, then, Miss Nina, I'll go and get to work on the other things first. ”

The butler named Wayne nodded to Nina and left the place, since Nina used honorifics, then I think this butler must have a high status in this building.

Or, Nina has a low status in this building?

"Butler Wayne just now?"

"Ah, I forgot Rollo you haven't seen Wayne Butler before, he is the big butler by Grandpa's side, he has been following Grandpa since he was young, almost everything will pass through his hands, he is a very respectable old man. ”

Well, it seems that I was wrong.

Nina's room is huge, with all sorts of lovely decorations dotted around the building.

"Alice, when I came back to Phoenix, you had already gone to the Arctic Ice Field, and we happened to diverge, when did you come back?"

"I just came back today, and this trip to the Arctic Ice Fields is really terrible! Not only did I not get any treasures, but I almost couldn't come back..."

Two girls who haven't seen each other for a long time and talk together, just like dry wood meets fire, o-nitroaniline meets concentrated sulfuric acid, ammonium dichromate meets mercury thiocyanide, and cesium metal meets dihydrogen oxide.

In short, before they finished speaking, Luo Xiaotian could only pass the time by observing the furnishings in the room.

Wait, why does the doll in the corner look so familiar?

Luo Xiaotian walked over and picked up the gray and white doll...

"Rollo, what's wrong with you?"

As a man, it is very rude to walk around a lady's room without permission, especially in the presence of the owner of the room, and any action can be magnified into a strange fetish. Merely...

"Alice, look at this!"

"Huh, isn't this Becky? Why is it here? But... It doesn't seem like the core is in it. ”

That's right, the ball that was originally on the chest of the raccoon construct disappeared without a trace, but Luo Xiaotian and Alice would not mistake this construct with a missing tail as the one used by Xiaobei, after all, the half of the tail that fell off should still be lying in Alice's space ring now.

"Nina, where did this come from?"

"I once bought it when I passed by a roadside stall, and it was pretty cute in my room. What's wrong? And who's Becky?"

"Anyway, Becky is the puppet I met in a strange ruin..."

Well, this time I'll tell Nina a long story. However, relying on this kind of telling each other what happened to each other, the three of them seem to have quickly returned to the original days in school. It's just that maybe from Luo Xiaotian and Alice, you can feel a closer tacit understanding than at the beginning.

Luo Xiaotian asked the location where Xiaobei's shell was found, and planned to look for it when he had time later.

"Nina, why did you suddenly run to Phoenix?"

"This... Well, it's okay to tell you guys. My grandfather had a serious illness before, and although he was quickly cured by the Bishop of the Illuminati Sect, he felt that his health was not as good as before. So, this time my grandfather summoned my dad and my uncles back to decide who would succeed to the title and what each of them should receive. ”

"Wait a minute, Nina!"

Alice interrupted what Nina was about to say.

"The title of nobility is generally inherited by the eldest son, right? Although there is no explicit rule, this kind of convention is not deprived of the right of inheritance as long as the eldest son of the family does not make any unforgivable mistakes. Isn't your father the eldest son, and why do you need to decide who will succeed to the title?"

"I don't know what Grandpa thinks, and Dad never tells me about these things, but after we came back for so long, Grandpa hasn't made a decision. Now, my father and my uncles are embarrassed to see each other, and they don't want to go out when they live in the same building... Alice, can I stay with you during this time?!"

“... Of course, you can move here tomorrow! ”
