Of course, in addition to enjoying life comfortably, Char is also preparing for the start of school at the same time.

Reading and learning is part of it, and Char doesn't mind sending an invitation to some gifted people or children with eyes that she meets during the journey.

The castle has also recently been under the control of Cassifer, leaving West Francis along the Alps and coming to Suphels, Switzerland, at the foot of the Alps.

In another world, one of the more famous movies "Heidi and Grandpa" was filmed here.

The castle's gigantic figure marched along the country roads of Sufers, its huge chimneys belching black smoke, and the trees and grass around it trembled at the sight of the monstrous giant.

It's a winding country road that winds through turquoise fields and down to the foot of the mountain.

Next to it stands a majestic and steep mountain, which overlooks the valley floor.

However, the castle does not go down the mountain, but up the mountain, along the path to climb up, the terrain gradually opens, surrounded by fragrant grass, the mountain flowers are splendid, and the refreshing fragrance permeates the whole mountain, which is a road leading to the top of the mountain.

There is a large alpine pasture, the wind blows the clouds away, the sky is blue, and the sun shines brightly on the green slopes of the pasture.

The flowers bloom with blue and green buds, and each one shows a smile towards the sun.

Many flocks graze here with their heads bowed, and the bells around their necks make a crisp sound as they move.

This is the pasture of many herdsmen in the vicinity, and you can see some wooden houses left by herdsmen on the road, such as one on the top of this alpine pasture, which is located on the top of the mountain, where although the wind is strong, the sun and scenery should be good, and you can overlook the whole valley.

Some of the herders also seemed to see the castle roaming the pasture.

People looked at the terrible giant in horror, and they didn't dare to move, and even their breathing stopped.

Although it is now the first industrial revolution.

But the winds of the Industrial Revolution have not yet reached these fringe towns.

So, the mobile castle was like a wizard's house for these herdsmen.

Although it is, it is.

Char didn't mean to hide his body deliberately, first, it was more troublesome, and there was no way to completely hide his movements, and they wouldn't stay here for long.

For the people here, their journey may only become an extra conversation after dinner.

This feeling of being a part of someone else's story, Char actually thinks it's quite funny.

The castle stops at the end of the pasture, where there is an idyllic mountain lake of amazing beauty.

When Char opened the door and walked down the steps, he realized that the clouds of the Alps were not only in the sky, but also in the lake.

Standing here, you can see the lakes and mountains of the Alps.

Small towns, grasses, lakes, flowers, woods, wooden houses, and the snow-capped Alps, all of them make up a beautiful ink painting.

Alicia also stepped down from the castle, holding a tablecloth in her arms, and fell in love with the place at a glance.

As soon as she saw a beautiful cluster of red primrose flowers standing on one side, she immediately saw that the lovely gentian grass over there had small blue flowers, and on top of it there was a large patch of delicate golden cistus with delicate petals, and they smiled and nodded in the sun.

This field of colorful flowers swaying in the wind directly captivated her.

A picnic here is sure to be comfortable, too.

Alicia spread the cloth on the edge of the lake, and a gentle breeze blew, and the fragrance of flowers was refreshing to the sound of the grass rustling.

"It would be nice if Arthur was here." Alicia whispered, "He must like it here, it's just a few of us now, it's a lot more deserted." ”

She pointed to the meadow near the lake, "If Arthur was with Sonny, he would be wrestling with Sonny there, and he would be disgraced." ”

"When they come back, you should hate them again." Char laughed.

"That's what people are, aren't they?" Alicia said.

Char shrugged his shoulders in dismay.

"Jingle Bell~"

In their ears, a crisp bell sounded, and not far away, a flock of sheep came towards them, grazing with their heads bowed by the lake.

Some of the sheep had bells around their necks so that the shepherds could discern where they were by sound.

"Are you wizards?"

A little girl ran up to them out of nowhere, stood beside them, and looked at them curiously.

She was dressed plainly, but her face was very clean, with a very cute baby face, a pair of very bright, round eyes, and she looked very clever and pleasing to people.

"Helen! Come here. ”

An anxious shout came from behind the castle.

It was a little boy older than the girl, he was a little scrazier, his clothes were made of burlap, with many tears, with a felt hat on his head, a gray face, and a whip in his hand, and he looked like the little shepherd of the place.

He hid behind the castle, a little too timid to probe.

In a family, it is common for people to send old people or children to shepherd sheep because it is a light and effortless errand.

Adults in the family can use the time saved to work outside the home to support the family.

"What do you think, kid?" Char laughed.

"Only wizards have such castles." Helen said.

After a pause, she said, "Can you do me a favor?" ”

"What?" He asked patiently.

"My grandfather is sick." Helen said, "Helen has been sick for several days and is not going to the doctor, can you help me heal him?" ”

As she spoke, she fumbled around herself, and then placed everything in her pocket on the cloth.

"It's all for you."

It was some very simple little objects, some small, irregular glass balls, like leftovers from making certain handicrafts, and some small bells on sheep.

It's all worthless things, but look at the girl's reluctance to take them out.

For her, this should be all her wealth.

Alicia slowly got up and walked back to the castle.

"I'm not a doctor." Char said.

After a pause, he asked, "Have you had lunch?" Let's sit down and eat together. ”

Helen looked at the shepherd boy who was still hiding in the corner of the castle.

"Terry, come here!"

The shepherd boy still seemed to be a little hesitant, but he still walked timidly.

Helen was very self-acquainted, and she sat down on the cloth and motioned for Terry to sit beside him.

"Where's our lunch?" Helen asked.

Terry pulled out a bag from his backpack on one side, containing a few pieces of cheese and a few pieces of brown bread, one small being half a palm's size and the other a half palm's size.

He hesitated, glanced at Char, and gave Helen the big piece and all the black bread to her, while he only had the small piece of cheese and a little black bread.

Of course, it wasn't that he was generous, they weren't a family, it was originally Helen's, but her grandfather entrusted him with safekeeping.

It was also the first day he took Helen out to shepherd the sheep.

But looking at the cheese in Helen's hand, his eyes were full of envy.

Then, Terry took out another small bowl and squeezed fresh goat's milk from the goat on one side.

Helen tore off a loaf of bread, but the rest of the bread was still bigger than Terry's.

So she handed the bread and the whole piece of cheese to her partner.

"I've got enough of it for you."

Terry was speechless in surprise, and looked at Helen blankly, he had never been told these words by anyone at his age, and no one had sent him anything.

He hesitated, not knowing whether to take it or not, but Helen shoved it to him anyway, and since Terry didn't take it, she simply put it on her lap.

Terry then believed that Helen really wanted to share the food with him, and nodded with gratitude.

At this time, Alicia also stepped down the stairs from the castle, carrying a wooden chest in her hand, which she placed on the tablecloth, opened the lid, and placed some pastries on the ground from inside.

Some were bought from the imperial capital, while some were made by herself, and even some Napoleonic pastries that Char had eaten in the palace before.

Helen and Terry, two children who have lived in the Alps since childhood, have never seen so many kinds of pastries with such good looks.

Their eyes were a little straight, and the cheese and brown bread in their hands were not very fragrant at this time.

"Let's eat together." Char laughed, "We can't finish eating either." ”

"Really?"

Helen's eyes were a little shiny, her big round black eyes sparkled like jewels, and the face of the baby fat baby with a happy and clear smile made people's hearts crisp when they looked at it.

Alicia also liked the child, and she picked up Napoleon on one side and handed it to her.

"Here, try this."

Helen took Napoleon and took a bite of it, the crispy and loose puff pastry was bitten open, and then she tasted the tenderness of the whipped cream and custard sauce inside, in which the milky aroma bloomed, and the various layers of flavor were displayed on his taste buds.

Her eyebrows furrowed, and the richness of sweetness made her whine of contentment, and her face was full of intoxication.

Terry also took a pastry and put it in his mouth, and showed the same expression, he looked at the pastries, and then at the dry and hard cheese in his hand, and smiled bitterly.

"I don't think I'll be able to eat these things anymore."

"What about your parents?" Alicia asked Helen.

Hearing this, Helen's smile stagnated slightly, and her eyes darkened.

Terry on one side spoke.

Her father was killed by a beam when she was about a year old, and her mother left soon after because of her grief.

I used to live with my aunt, but now I'm with my grandfather. ”

The best way to gain a child's trust is to have a sweet tooth, and apparently, in Terry's heart, Char and Alicia are already good people.

"What a poor boy." Alicia said sympathetically.

Helen quickly recovered her mood, still with that sincere smile, "It's okay, don't worry about me, I still have grandpa and little snowflake." ”

Helen pointed to the lamb on one side, "That's the little snowflake, it doesn't have a father and a mother, but it still has me, we are together every day, so we will not be alone." ”

After that, they didn't talk about Helen's parents anymore, just quietly chatted about some life, scenery, and some trivial and interesting things that happened in this town.

Helen is very cheerful, and her ideas are very wild, and although some of the words may sound childish, they bring back some of the joy of childhood.

The happy time was always short-lived, and when the sun had moved some distance, Helen got up from the ground and patted her buttocks.

"I'm going back, or my grandfather would be worried, it's nice to meet you."

"Me too."

Char held out his hand, and a golden invitation appeared in his hand, and he handed it to her.

"You take this, and in the future, someone will come looking for you.

This will make you have a better choice in life.

Your grandfather's illness has been cured. ”

Helen didn't care about the invitation, she cared about Char's words later.

"Thank you."

She stood up with the invitation, said goodbye to Char and Alicia, and trotted straight to the other end of the ranch, running fast through the field on her short legs.

She wanted to go back to her grandfather as soon as possible.

"Eh! Helen, wait for me! Terry shouted anxiously, but he glanced back at the sheep grazing nearby, but still didn't follow.

Helen trotted along the country road, for about ten minutes, and finally ran near her house, catching some breath.

This is the top of the mountain pasture, and there is a small wooden house on the protruding end of the mountain.

It's windy, but sunny, and you can enjoy a view of the valley below.

Behind the hut were three old fir trees, unpruned and leafy.

On one side of the fir trees is a mountain road that stretches into the distance, lower with lush flowers, above which is a rocky slope of bushes that stretches to the top of a bare rocky cliff.

Inside the wooden house, an old man dressed in a simple linen coat, with gray hair and a white beard, ran out of the house, and looked anxiously around, and saw Helen at a glance.

"Helen!"

"Grandpa!"

Helen trotted forward excitedly and jumped directly on top of him.

After two lonely souls who were dependent on each other hugged for a while, Helen said happily.

"You're cured?"

"Alright." The old man nodded, "I feel like I'm almost going to leave you, but I'm glad I survived." ”

"It was the wizard who healed you." Helen said excitedly.

"Wizard?" The old man frowned slightly, "Who have you met?" ”

"A very handsome brother and a very beautiful and beautiful sister." Helen's eyes lit up and she said, "They have a big, big."

Her words paused, as if her language system could not describe what she saw.

But at this moment, a raging wind whistled out of nowhere, and the old fir trees were bent over, and countless sand and dust blew them so that they couldn't open their eyes.

The old man stood in front of Helen and kept her against the wind.

When they could open their eyes, a huge figure suddenly crashed into their sight from below the valley!

Huge sail wings shaded the sun, and mechanical bird's feet hung haphazardly underneath.

It was a behemoth he had never seen before.

It's not a bird, it's not like a dragon, and if you look closely, it's more like a house that can fly.

The old man's eyes widened, and his breathing stagnated a little, and it was not until the beast gradually disappeared before his eyes that he regained his breathing.

And Helen said excitedly on the side, "That's the one just now, that's the house of that brother and sister!" ”

The old man came back to his senses, and at this moment, he finally believed Helen's words, and a magician saved his life.

"Did they tell you anything?"

Helen thought for a moment, and then, she took out the invitation card Char had given him before, "This is from that brother, he said"

She tried hard to recall, "He said that someone will come to me in the future, and he can give me a better choice in my life." ”

The old man stared silently at the invitation in Helen's hand, pondering, and after a moment she said.

"Remember, child, keep this invitation hidden and don't lose it.

Don't tell anyone about the origin or existence of this thing. ”

Helen nodded as if she didn't understand.
