"Wow~ It's so beautiful!" When we arrived at Alice's residence, our group couldn't help but be amazed, the reason was that Alice usually lived in such a beautiful place, which was so enviable!

This is a suburb southeast of the capital, Basta, an open place of birds and flowers, and Alice's home looks like a beautiful manor, surrounded by a tall wall, and we can see an open green lawn and an infinite blue sky just by looking through the large iron gate in front of us. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info lawn stretches endlessly on both sides, dotted with small colorful flowers, and there are landscape trees of various shapes carefully cultivated by florists on the lawn, and there is a wide and neat corridor running through the middle, and in the middle of the corridor there is a beautiful large fountain, and the water sprayed from the pool reflects the diamond-like light under the sunlight, which is very dazzling. The corridor leads to an imposing mansion in the distance, and from a distance, you feel like you are in a dreamlike fairyland.

"I'm Harvey, and I'll open the door, and tell Lord Dakkon that we have been attacked on our way to the province of Pazm, and only Mademoiselle and I have returned unharmed. Harvey shouted into a device on the large iron door, and the door slowly opened in front of us. It seems that the device just now is a communication device, so that the people in the manor can hear his shouting, and this iron door is an automatic door that can be controlled remotely, which is really advanced!

We led the dragon bird and walked slowly inside, Harvey and Alice leading the way, Annie, Emma and Ellen walking in the middle of the line, I followed them with the rope that tied Zuoga's hands, the guy still smirked and limped behind me, Neil and Link walked at the back of the line just in case.

Walking into the manor, the scenery that had just been blocked by the tall walls and iron gates came into our eyes, and we couldn't help but marvel at the beauty and vastness of the manor. On the lawn to the right of the gate there are several large trees with dense foliage, and it is perfect for a nap in the shade of this wide meadow at noon. On the lawn to the left of the gate is a whole row of tall green vegetation, which has been trimmed into a boxy shape, like a high green wall.

At this time, more than a dozen strong men in black uniforms and sunglasses came running from the left and right sides of the lawn, and it seemed that they should be the guards or bodyguards of this manor.

"Captain Harvey, you've worked hard, leave it to us later, these people are—" one of the men in black looked at us and said. At this time, we had just gone through a big battle, and we were disheveled and tired, and we were supporting each other, especially me, who was ragged and looked like a beggar, and was quite unusual in this beautiful manor, which probably made him feel not very at ease.

"These are the benefactors who saved me and Miss Alice, without them we wouldn't be able to come back, the savage guy tied up behind is the real murderer, he and his companions killed everyone in our group, except for me and Miss Alice, you should watch over him carefully, put him in an iron cage dedicated to raising lions!" he said to the man in black, quite like a leader.

"What? he's so powerful?!" the man in black who was talking to Harvey was taken aback and looked at Theoga.

"Look at it, be careful that Lao Tzu twists your necks off!" said Theorga viciously.

"Hmm, what a big boldness! are you half-dead, still here to go wild?" the leading man in black seemed a little annoyed, went up and kicked Theogar, and then said to me, "Just give him to us, we will take good care of him!" I glanced at Saoga and did not speak, but handed the rope in my hand to the man in black, and the rest of the men in black took our dragon bird.

Just as the man in black pushed Saoga away from us, he continued to say to me arrogantly: "Haha, spear boy, don't forget to have a happy fight with Lao Tzu tomorrow, it's best to start tonight, ahhahaha~ I'll wait for you!"

I ignored him and continued to follow Harvey and the others forward. Really, I was hoping to ask Erin some clues about my dreams or the Seven Dead Apostles, but she laughed at her for being a person who loves spring dreams, which is really embarrassing! Link didn't keep Tina either, because he talked to Tina for so long this time (on the way to this manor, Link told us everything that happened to him and Tina, and everyone felt sorry for him, I really didn't expect him to fall short in the end, and I don't know why Tina left Link in the end, obviously moved by him!) In the end, we brought a rude berserker back, and we had to fight with him every day to ask for the information we wanted, which was really troublesome~

I let out a long sigh and followed the group up the steps to the mansion. The staircases are beautifully built, and the wrought-iron handrails with graceful curves add a special touch to the hard and smooth marble steps.

I walked to the door of the mansion and was amazed by its exquisite luxury, even the appearance of the exterior has been carefully carved like a work of art. It must have cost a lot of money to buy such a large piece of land with beautiful scenery and build this luxurious house, at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins? I didn't expect Alice to live in such a luxurious and beautiful place, it was really enviable, I thought to myself.

"Squeak~" The mahogany door slowly opened in front of us, still automatic, without any human effort.

"Wow~" We can't help but exclaim again, the magnificent decorations and furnishings inside make people can't help but be amazed: spacious and bright living room, colorful crystal chandeliers, exquisite wooden furniture, highly artistic sculptures and large oil paintings, all of which show the infinite pursuit of exquisite life by the owner of this house.

"Daddy..."At this time, Alice suddenly ran forward and threw herself into the arms of a middle-aged man, "Miss Kate, she... Alice burst into a low cry, and the maids who were cleaning around stopped what they were doing and looked at the crying blonde girl with sympathetic eyes.

"I'm sorry, Alice, I frightened you, Dad didn't expect such a thing to happen, I'm really sorry to let you encounter such a dangerous thing alone, you can rest at home for the past two days!" The middle-aged man hugged Alice tightly and whispered to comfort her.

After a while, Alice stopped crying, pointed at us and said to the middle-aged man, "It was these big brothers and sisters who saved me and Harvey!"

"Thank you so much, I only have Alice as a daughter, I really don't know what will become of me without her?" said the middle-aged man, turning his head to us, and then stood up and pulled Alice to us.

I saw that he was tall, wearing a dark blue shirt and a pair of casual trousers, his golden hair was naturally curly, his white face had a pair of golden thick eyebrows and a pair of eyes full of wisdom, and he had a small beard on his chin, which looked very mature and capable.

"Young people, contemptible Hayden Daken, your grace to save your daughter is unforgettable. Mr. Dyken said to us.

"They waited for us at the border checkpoint for a long time, and felt that something was wrong, so they took the initiative to search for us and saved us at the most critical moment for Alice and me. Harvey said from the side.

"Yes, what a group of young and promising people, impressive! I didn't choose you wrong, the members of the eighth squad of the Fury Mercenary Regiment. Mr. Daken said with his eyes fixed on me, as if he were scrutinizing me, but I really didn't look good, in rags, like a beggar.

"Mr. Daken, I would like to ask why you chose us to protect Alice in Pazm Province, there are many mercenary groups there, and besides, we are not the best mercenary group in the mercenary group. Neil asked next to me.

"Well, because Alice recently wanted to go to a place to investigate, and it was very dangerous, in the past ten years, only you Fury Mercenary Regiment Eighth Squad can survive all the members, you must have learned a lot about the terrain and environment there, and you must have a lot of combat experience, and the cooperation of the team members must be very tacit, so I think you are the most suitable person!" Mr. Decan explained, it seems that he has some knowledge of our record before, but what makes me wonder why do you say that Alice is going to investigate? Isn't such a young child going on a tour, and what is that dangerous place?

"What danger is there for Alice to investigate at such a young age?" said Emma to the question of all of us.

"Don't underestimate Miss Alice, although she is only 12 years old, she is already a graduate student in history at the Central University of the capital, and this time she must come to the desolate desert of Pazm to investigate the ruins of an ancient city, and even Lord Daken cannot stop her determination. Harvey interjected from the side.

"Where are the ruins of this ancient city?" I couldn't help but ask.

"It used to be called Orps, and now everyone calls it the City of the Dead. Mr. Daken said with an unchanging face.

"What?" we all opened our jaws, and then turned to Alice, who was standing next to Mr. Daken, what was she going to investigate at such a young age in the ruins of a city full of zombies and skeletons?

Alice spoke at this time: "Orps is the remains of a city with a history of thousands of years, according to ancient documents, it was once a very prosperous and beautiful city, and for some reason it suddenly became a ruin. I think that by investigating there, I might be able to find some traces or evidence to know why it was abandoned, so that I can learn more about the history of its disappearance!" Alice said this, her eyes lit up, and she was very excited, not at all like the image of a weak little girl just now.

"What is vanishing history?" asked Allen curiously.

"I read ancient documents, thousands of years ago, the ancients did not know magic at all, they could only use some kind of bioenergy to produce or live, and not only their lifestyles were different from ours, but even their races were very different. They only divide the human race according to the color of the skin, only a few kinds of people such as the white race, the yellow race, the black race, and the number of people is not as large as our current race, according to the large types can be divided into humans, orcs, bird-winged people, dwarves, elves, dragons and other races, according to the small types to divide, like the orc race can be divided into the lion race, the tiger people, the monkey people, the sheep people and other races, the bird-winged people can be divided into the eagle people, the falcon people, the kites and so on, the elves have black elves, white elves and elves... In short, there are so many different forms of human race, and there is no clue or evidence of how human beings evolved during this period from the ancient people to the multiracial era like ours, so historians call this period a lost history or a blank history, if I can find it..."

"Ahem, alright, pause, Alice!" Mr. Dyken interrupted Alice, "She's excited again, I just can't stand her spirit of stalking and pursuing the truth of history, and finally agreed to her request to investigate there, and sent twenty excellent guards here to send her to the City of the Dead, and just in case, I hired you as a mercenary team, and in the end it seems that I really hired the right person!" Anyway, you've worked hard, I'll arrange a guest room and a change of clothes for you, and when you're done washing, I'll wait for you to have dinner in the restaurant on the first floor, okay?" Mr. Daken turned to Harvey and said to Harvey, "Captain Harvey, it's been a hard journey, and if it weren't for your loyalty, I wouldn't have seen Alice, so I'll invite you to come and dine later, okay?"

"It's my pleasure, Lord Daken!" Harvey bowed to Daken and stepped back. After that, Mr. Deacon sent his butler Carl to take us to our respective rooms, and soon we would enjoy our accommodation as if we were a high-end hotel...
