Chapter 42: The Red Rope
"Why did you buy so many sundries?"
Alicia was wearing pajamas and carefully rummaging through the ingredients placed on the table, eggplant, beef, and there was no refrigerator in this era, so it was best to buy and eat on the same day, and there were not many things to buy.
So the food only accounted for a part, and the vast majority of it was the materials that Char bought.
"That's what makes the Flying Boots." Arthur explained.
"Flying Boots?" Alicia frowned, "What's that?" ”
"With him, you can cross five kilometers in one step."
Char came down the stairs with a large iron bucket in his hand, which also contained some materials, and the Thousand Miles Flying Boots were also magic items that appeared in the novel.
Hal made thousands of pairs of these things for the royal family, and it was not difficult to make.
"Why do you want to make this thing?" Alicia asked.
Her expression was not surprised.
Compared to the gate that spanned thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye, this kind of boots that spanned several kilometers was nothing to her.
"We just met the Witch of the Wilderness!" Arthur said.
Alicia's pupils shrank slightly, "Witch of the Wilderness? At Eagle Point? ”
"yes." Char whispered, "This, where Cassifer's body is located....."
"Didn't you cover it up with a lot of magic props?" Alicia frowned and asked, "I didn't touch the things in your room, why did she find here?" ”
Char raised her eyes to look at her, "From the moment you came to this castle, the location of this castle has actually been revealed. ”
Alicia opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't, and her mind came back to what the Witch of the Wilderness had told her before.
"Tell Char that I'll find him."
She actually had some doubts about why the Witch of the Wilderness would find her for no reason.
But now, it seems, everything can be answered.
Originally.... Himself is a bait ....
A decoy that allows her to determine Char's location.
But how could she be sure that she would find Char?
Alicia was in a very turbulent mood, and at this moment, there was an even more important matter.
She subconsciously grabbed the hem of her clothes, bit her lip, and raised her head to look at Char.
"You, you know everything?"
Char nodded, "I can't see the curse on your body, in this world, only the Witch of the Wilderness will curse like this." ”
"What else?"
Alicia looked at him, pursed her lips, her face was hot, her eyes were full of tears, and her mind kept echoing the appearance of herself pretending to be an old man in the past few days.
All the eyes and reactions of Char in his memory seem to have turned into mockery at this moment.
"What else?" Char tilted her head in confusion.
Alicia fell silent, and after a moment, she let out a long breath of cloudy air.
"Nothing."
"What? Alicia, are you cursed? ”
Yar obviously didn't notice the strange atmosphere between the two of them at the moment, but asked anxiously.
"What curse have you fallen?"
"I'm in...."
Alicia opened her mouth to tell the curse, but an external force directly sealed her mouth, and no matter how hard she tried to speak, she couldn't say a word.
"She couldn't reveal anything about the curse." Char said, "This is also part of the curse. ”
"What a hateful fellow!" Arthur clenched his fists, a little indignant, "It's really a big villain, she also bullies such a good person as Alicia!" ”
He looked at Char, "Char, you must teach her a lesson!" ”
"If he could teach her a lesson, he wouldn't have been hiding all the time."
Instead of trying to talk about the curse, Alicia sat in a chair in front of a fire.
"It's not impossible, but not now." Char said calmly.
"So, are you going to run with these shoes?" Alicia said.
"It's moving." Char said, "There were three of us, but there were only two rooms, and the house was too small, so we had to change to a bigger one." ”
"Where are you going?" Alicia asked.
"I'm not sure yet, so I'm going to look for it, and I'm going to find the location of the rest of the entrances."
Char looked at Arthur and Alicia and smiled.
"What kind of places do you like to live in?"
Alicia and Arthur looked at each other, and then Alicia continued.
"We seem to be discussing the Witch of the Wilderness."
"We're just talking about the Witch of the Wilderness." Char said seriously, "Cassifer's position is exposed, so I have to transfer it too, don't I?" ”
"If you don't mention the conditions, then I'll choose for myself." Char laughed.
Alicia was silent for a moment and said, "I want to go to a place with a sea." ”
Char nodded, "Sounds easy to find." ”
He hasn't seen the peninsula that Emperor Moriath sent him yet, and that place should be pretty good.
He looked at Arthur, "What about you?" ”
Arthur thought for a moment, and then said excitedly, "I want to go to a place with grassland, I have been in the imperial capital since I was a child, and I have never seen a plain." ”
"It's okay, it's not difficult." Char thought about it and said, "I'm still going to open a store, but I don't know what to open, how about the restaurant?" ”
"I'm so tired." "If you open a restaurant, you have to get up at four or five o'clock in the morning to prepare the ingredients, unless you have someone to do it," Alicia said. ”
Char nodded, "Forget it, let's talk about it after we move." ”
Then he looked at Alicia, took out the same red rope that had been given to Mrs. Foster and handed it to her.
"This is for you, there is a spell on it, wear it, your body will be more comfortable, and you won't get sick again in the future."
However, Alicia did not take the red rope, and Char looked up at her with some confusion.
She was staring at the red rope in Char's hand intently, without words.
"What's wrong?" Char asked.
She raised her head and looked at Char, her eyes flashing with an inexplicable light, "I remember, you're from the East, right?" ”
Char nodded.
"Then do you know what the meaning of giving away red rope is?" Alicia asked.
"Health, peace, and all the best," Char said, asking with some confusion, "anything else?" ”
"No, you're right."
Alicia took the red rope from Char's hand.
Her mother was an Oriental, and Alicia heard a lot of things about the Orient, such as red, a very important color for the Orientals.
In the legend of the East, there is a god in charge of marriage, that is, a red rope is used to lead the marriage of a man and a woman, so it also has the meaning of love.
Of course, Alicia knew that Char didn't mean that.
She put the red rope on her right hand, and the small bell hanging on it made a crisp sound, and she could clearly feel that her aching body had become much easier, and even her breathing was a little easier.
The spell on this little thing was very useful, she flipped her arm over and deliberately made the bell sound, she looked at the red string, for some reason, the corners of her mouth hung an imperceptible arc, and she seemed to be in a happy mood.
Arthur stared at Alicia from the side, and suddenly said.
"Alicia, you seem to be getting younger."
Alicia raised her eyebrows, "Really?" ”
Arthur nodded earnestly.
"Then it looks like this thing does work a little." Alicia said, looking at the rope ring.
"Then I'll give you lunch today." Char said, "I'm going to have to hurry up and get the boots ready." ”
Alicia knew that the situation was a bit urgent, so she didn't say much, for her, cooking was a very pleasant thing.
Char sat down on a workbench to the side and began to make the Flying Boots out of the materials.
I don't know how long later, there was a knock on the door on one side.
With the sudden sound of a knock on the door, the entire first floor was much quieter except for the sound of Char burying his head in the props.
After learning that the Witch of the Wilderness had arrived, apart from Char, a heartless guy, Alicia and Arthur were a little nervous.
But then, Cassifer spoke.
"Go open the door, I'll warn you if it's really the Witch of the Wilderness, don't worry, she won't be able to get in."
Arthur walked slowly, then opened the door.
There were two people standing behind the door, a man and a woman, the woman was naturally the Mrs. Foster they had seen before, and the man was wearing a pair of bib pants, with a slightly fat figure, very tall, a very round face, and a scruffy beard, but it was very pleasing to the eye and very honest.
"Mr. Foster, Mrs. Foster." Alicia recognized the two and asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Mr. Foster smiled and lifted a large fish in his hand, while Mrs. Foster spoke.
"We're here to deliver fish."
Alicia nodded, thinking that Char should have booked it with them, and asked.
"How much, I'll give it to you."
"No, no, no." Foster smiled innocently, "I heard Erin say that you are sick, and this fish is specially given to you to supplement your nutrition." ”
Erin is supposed to be Mrs. Foster's name.
"And your reward has already been given." Mrs. Foster said with a smile.
As she spoke, she raised her hand, and as the bell rang, Alicia saw the identical red rope hanging from her hand.
Her eyes froze.....
