Chapter 233: Selfish Decisions
The next few days were going well, and everyone was getting closer and closer to the Grand Duchy of Lingyu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The power car drove down the wide and flat Boulevard Duke, and Natalie and Carbelle looked excited, while Albert and Belil's mood did not change much. Belil feels like she doesn't know how to be sad, whether it's in the Fillet Rainforest or in the Arend Basin, she's very excited. Moreover, she was still as studious as she had been, so much so that the elegant Natalie was a little bored.
Albert didn't change much, he still cowardly hid in the corner, looking out the window alone, occasionally peeking at the three girls. Albert, amnesiac is indifferent to everything except the delicious roast bunny.
At this time, the speed of the car suddenly increased.
"Oh, Grand Duchy of Feather, I'm back!" came from the cab with a excited shout from Gabrielle, "Praise the sun god, I'm finally back in the civilized world!"
"Are we there?" said Natalie, standing up and getting into the cab. She sat in the passenger seat, trying to look ahead, "Why didn't I see the shadow of the city-state?"
"There are still two hours, no, if we maintain this speed, we will be able to reach the gate of the Grand Duchy of the Realm, the Burning Feather Fortress, in one hour. "I think you'll remember, the first time we met was there, and you were fighting with a couple of drunken mercenaries, and you were drinking, yes, I remember it very well, and it was my guards who saved you in the end." ”
"In fact, I didn't need help at the time. Natalie said, then smiled, "Beautiful chick, you were only thirteen years old then. She looked at her. The gaze is as affectionate as that of a lover.
"yes. You're still the same as you were then. Nothing has changed. Gabrielle glanced at Natalie with the same gaze, "The personality is too, straightforward, like a cow." She smiled like a child, "Compared to the elves' long lifespans, it seems that we have not known each other for a long time, but for the Wingman, our friendship has been throughout my life. ”
"Why are you so pessimistic all of a sudden?" said Natalie laughed. "It's not like you. ”
"It's just that I haven't been home for too long, so I'm a little more emotional. "I was only fifteen years old when you took me away from home, you irresponsible bad guy, you have been in a coma for ten years. ”
"Who made you my best friend. "Natalie Waner.
"yes, who made me so unlucky to be friends with a different, adventurous elf. Gabrielle shrugged, "Look, we're here." She pointed to the majestic silhouette at the end of the Boulevard Duke. The speed of the power car has increased again.
As she was about to enter the Feather Fortress, Gabrielle told Natalie, "I think we should find something looser." Help Belil cover those striking cicada wings, or we'll probably be caught as monsters. ”
"I can make cicada wings disappear, Grand Chief Lycia taught me. Belil's sweet voice came into the cab, and as she spoke, her body glowed with a soft and white holy light, like a beautiful fairy. When the light disappeared, Belil's cicada wings were really gone, and they looked no different from elves.
She spun around, "It's so uncomfortable, I can't even fly." She was bouncing around in the carriage, but she couldn't escape gravity.
"Hey, little girl, that carpet is expensive. Gabrielle stopped her, "Get out of the car, we're here." The car stopped at the city gate, but she didn't get out of it with the others. "I'm going to register my vehicle at the power car management office, Natalie, you should remember the road, go to the business district, I'll find you." ”
"Of course, let's go. She patted Albert on the shoulder, then grabbed Belle as she was bouncing around, "Don't do that again, everybody's watching us." She whispered.
"Why can't you fly without cicada wings?" asked Belier curiously.
Built between the two mountain ranges, the Burning Feather Fortress is the most important, but also the largest and most prosperous fortress in the Grand Duchy of Lingyu, hundreds of years of peace have made this impregnable fortress forget the original purpose of its establishment, and the ancient city wall is only 20 meters high to remember the past.
The Fort of Feather has now become a trading city, and the roads that used to transport supplies have been expanded and paved with cement, making them wide and flat. The original fortification facilities on both sides of the street have been abolished, and there are cross-era buildings with a sense of science and technology, and solar-powered vehicles that are rarely seen in other countries can be seen everywhere in Lieyu City, and power cars are running on the streets, and the river is endless. Almost all nobles or merchants owned one or more powered cars of various colors and shapes. Some of the cars are as big as beasts, while others are as beautiful as works of art. All of this is the work of the Yodelers, allies of the Grand Duchy of Feather, a group of cute and crazy little creatures who are all geniuses, and their inventions have shocked the world, but except for the Winged Humans who have helped the Yodelers out of their predicament, no race can get Yodel's technology, especially humans with extremely strong learning ability.
Albert and Belle looked curiously at everything around them, including the passers-by. Even Natalie, who had been to the Grand Duchy of Feather, couldn't keep her composure, she was in a coma for so long that she almost forgot what the city looked like.
"Winged people can freely switch between human and wing forms, they are the original natives of the continent, predating humans and orcs. Natalie introduced the two.
"What's that? Whose pet is it?" Belle looked at a little fluffy guy, "It's so cute, I want one too." She said expectantly.
"Honey, that's not a pet. "That's the yodelers, they have soft fur and big heads, but they're small, like raccoons." They are known as the cutest intelligent race, and the craziest intelligent race, don't make them unhappy, they are all Frankenstein and master of pranks. Natalie touched the little girl's head, "You're lucky, yodeers are rare, they prefer to stay in the rainforest or at home, they are two extremes, either adventurous or staying, but they are equally fanatical." ”
The three came to the edge of the road, suddenly. Powered cars drove past the road at breakneck speed.
"That's a lot of powertrains. Take a look. Albert, that pink one is so beautiful, and that black one, it's really cool. Belle screamed, forgetting the lady's etiquette and her quiet nature, she was too shocked.
"It's scary, it's like a beast tide. Albert ducked behind Natalie. Grasping the corners of her clothes tightly, he said timidly.
"Have you ever seen a beast tide?" asked Gabrielle in surprise.
"I forgot, but I know what the beast tide looks like. Albert said thoughtfully, a little confused in his heart, he clearly remembered the picture of the beast tide, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Think about it, what else do you have in your head? Can you think of anything else?" said Natalie.
"I'm sorry, Natalie, I can't think of anything. Albert shook his head. Rubbed his temples whenever he tried to remember. He would feel excruciating pain, as if something was preventing him from regaining his memory.
Just then, Gabrielle returned.
"Hey, everyone, let's go to the hotel first, well, how about going to the most exclusive hotel in Lieyu City? Gabrielle said with a smile.
"When did you become so generous?" asked Natalie, suspiciously.
Arriving at her destination, Natalie was full of black lines, clenched her fists, and resisted the urge to beat Belle Gabrielle. Today, she finally got to see the legendary 'most exclusive hotel'. This hotel is not to say that it is high-end, it is a little far from the ordinary, and you can judge from the mottled walls and the insects that drill between the cracks in the walls.
Natalie gritted her teeth, but she didn't know how to get angry, Gabrielle didn't lie to her, the name of this hotel is indeed the most upscale hotel.
"Oh, forget it, I'll take your kindness, but I'll pay for it. Natalie sighed, "Can you show us the way, Gabrielle?" she said weakly.
"Well, as the host, I should have had a treat. Gabrielle shrugged, "There used to be a three-star hotel three streets away, well, I stayed there when I was a kid, when my parents took me on vacation. "Not the time we met, of course, but the last time we met, on my eighth birthday." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, lead the way. Natalie said through gritted teeth.

After resting for a day at the Burning Feather Fortress, the four set off again.
The Fortress of Burning Feather is only a temporary stop, and their final destination is the capital of the Grand Duchy of Feather and one of the economic hubs in the north of the continent - the capital of Feather.
A week later, Albert's condition still did not improve. He still can't remember anything except roasting meat and catching rabbits, and can only occasionally remember some vague images, not complete memories. But fortunately, under the careful care of Natalie and others, Albert finally opened his heart, he talked more and more, became more and more cheerful, and regarded the three girls who took care of her as relatives and good friends.
"Send him back to the Moon Capital, I think it will be more helpful for him to recover his memory, Black Flame Grass, we can just help him find it." Gabrielle hesitated, but still said what she thought in her heart.
"Well, I'm a little reluctant. Natalie smiled wryly, feeling a little sad at the thought of separating from Albert, but there was nothing she could do.
The reason why she cares so much about Albert is that there is another reason besides Albert saving her. Before leaving the Moon Capital, the moon priest Saviara finds her and tells her that Albert is tasked with saving the elves, so she must restore Albert and get back on her feet. Although, she prefers the current Albert, the divination ability of the Lunar God Priest is the best in the continent, and all her words will be fulfilled.
"Don't worry, we'll kidnap him when his memory is back. Gabrielle smiled, she could see what Natalie was thinking, she was a little jealous, Natalie should have belonged to her.
At the same time, she also did not want Albert to leave.
During this time, she established some friendship with him, and she also heard about Albert's deeds, which turned out to be the boy who was hailed by the Terrans as the hope of the future and the embodiment of flames. No one misses being close to someone so good, and Gabriel is no exception. She knew that when Albert awoke from his memory, he would spread his wings like an eagle and fly into the wider sky.
I don't know if they will be able to travel and adventure together like they are now.
Natalie came to the carriage and explained the results of the discussion to Albert, but Albert was strongly resisted, and no matter how much persuasion was made, he did not agree.
After getting along in the past few days, Albert has already regarded Gabelie, who likes to bully him, but protects him very much, Natalie, who is gentle and considerate, and loves him a lot, and Belil, who takes care of her food and clothing, and takes care of her food and clothing.
He left the arms of his 'aunt', and Albert decided in his heart that he would never be separated from the three girls again this time.
"Why are you sending Albert away, aren't the four of us happy together, why do we have to be separated?" said Belle on the side, crying. She is simply ignorant, she doesn't understand good and bad, and she doesn't know what is right and what is wrong. She just doesn't want to be separated from anyone here, she just wants to be with them forever.
"Belle is right, please, Natalie, don't send me away, I won't eat meat anymore, I'll also study magic well, I'll never be a coward again, I'll listen to you for everything in the future. Albert begged, his eyes reddening a little.
"You two stupid people, it's so easy to be fooled, am I lying to you? Natalie wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled softly.
Seeing Abel like this, Natalie also made a decision in her heart.
She was going to keep Albert with her until Albert regained his memory, knowing that doing so might cause Albert to miss the best chance to recover, but she would be selfish for once. She didn't want Albert to be so tired to live, she knew what Albert was carrying all day before he lost his memory.
Even if he is spurned by his clan and becomes a sinner through the ages. As long as the four of them can be together and happy every day, what can happen when the sky falls.
"Then I take back what I just said, I actually want to eat meat. Albert scratched his head and said with a smirk.
"No! don't kill critters anymore!" Natalie said, leaning across her waist and glaring.
"Oh, that's... What about the big animals?" asked Albert weakly.
"Big animals can't do it, monsters can't do it, dinosaurs can't do it, it's not okay anyway, as long as it's an animal, it's not allowed to eat it!" Natalie said with her eyebrows uplifted and roared angrily. Looking at Natalie, who was like a little lioness, Albert and Belle were so frightened that they didn't dare to say a word, and they didn't dare to breathe, so they could only nod their heads again and again.
Looking at Albert's appearance, Natalie was a little funny and a little distressed, the former Albert was always so strong and independent, not real at all.
It wasn't until after Albert's amnesia that she saw another Albert. Perhaps this is the real Albert, the Albert who has shed all disguises and put down his heavy baggage.
