The scenery of Bern has always been a source of pride for the locals.

Surrounded by mountains, Bern has a pleasant climate and year-round greenery, and every piece of land is alive and well under the irrigation of rivers made of high mountain snow.

In the morning, the mountains in the west glow rose-colored in the morning sun, and in the evening, the mountains in the east glow purple in the sunset, and the whole city of Bern is full of fairyland-like shine, and the local residents are proud to call Bern "a city that does not belong to the earth".

At night, under the moonlight, the snow-capped mountains in the distance exude a soft silver glow, soothing Bern into a sweet sleep.

Just before the sun had completely set, Gehr returned to the inn.

After the routine exercise, Gehr returned to his room, turned off the light and opened the window to breathe, then took off his clothes and lay down on the bed, with the beautiful scenery outside the window, he soon entered an ethereal state, and he had fallen into a deep sleep in a daze.

I don't know how much time passed, a small sound sounded in the room, Gehr barely opened his somewhat heavy eyelids, and looked towards the door, where the sound came, the door was opened, and a slender figure quietly walked in.

The figure came to the side of the bed, stood still, and looked at him quietly. The moonlight shining in through the open window embraced her in her arms, freed from the entanglement of darkness, and it was Lucarin.

She was still dressed in the same clothes as she had been in the library in the afternoon, her short skirt just long enough to cover her thighs, and the skin underneath glowed like jade in the moonlight.

"Gehr...... I ......"

Gehr propped himself up a little heavy and leaned back on the back of the bed.

"Luccarene, what's the matter with me at such a late hour?" But in this hazy vision, Yuehua supported Lucarin tonight. It looks extraordinarily innocent and moving, especially when she hangs her head. Holding the hem of the skirt with both hands, the neck that looms out of the silver hair seems to be dyed a faint layer of pink.

"Carmelita ...... You...... Can you ignore Carmelita?" Lucarin's voice was soft and soft, as if there was something in it.

"What's wrong with her, what's wrong with her, aren't we separated from her?" Gel was full of surprise, how could it be pulled on the goddess's body.

"Did you forget? Didn't she come here today to invite us to a banquet?"

"Is there such a thing?" Gehr only felt groggy in his head, like a mess, as if there was something Lucarin said, as if there was none.

"Hmph, she's here for you, it's so hateful. When we can't see it. Lucarin raised her head, clenched her fists, and said "viciously", "You are not allowed to go!"

Gehr felt that his consciousness was completely chaotic, and the Lucarin in front of him was completely different from usual, he always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

Half-ringing, Lucarin, who didn't get Gehr's answer, glanced at Gehr with her autumn-like eyes, and then immediately hid shyly in the darkness. His head suddenly drooped lower, almost close to his chest.

"As long as you say yes...... I...... I...... I can't afford to allow you to ...... like this."

After a moment's hesitation, Lucarine gritted her silver teeth and stepped forward. Grabbing Gehr's right hand violently, slowly, slowly putting it under her skirt......

A wonderful touch of warmth, dampness spread along the right hand to the whole body. For a moment, Gehr's body seemed to be rigid, but every nerve was beating excitedly. The hot blood flowed quickly throughout the body, and the whole person seemed to be ignited. There was a feeling of thirst in my throat......

Eventually, he couldn't take it anymore!

He sat up straight in an instant, grabbed Lucarin's waist with his left hand and pulled her into his arms......

Bang!

Pain......

It was pitch black, and everything was gone.

Gell opened his eyes.

Unfamiliar room.

Gehr stretched out his left hand, and his fully awake eyes looked at the place where the pain was coming from - the middle finger, and there was some bruise under the nails.

"It turned out to be just a dream. Gehr sat up and lit the oil lamp on the bedside table, a yellowish glow that dispelled the darkness, and a scratch appeared in the corner of the cabinet in the light.

Looking out the window, the sky was already slightly brighter, and it was almost dawn.

Some cool wind continued to rush in mischievously, and after circling around him, he ran away again, making his still somewhat bloody body a little more comfortable.

Seeing that it was almost dark, Gehr simply got up and dressed. When he wore the pants, the still hard and fiery firmness brought him a lot of trouble.

Picking up the kettle on the table and taking a big sip of cold water for himself, and suppressing the fire in his heart for a few minutes, Gell grabbed Ephiros out of the room and left the hotel directly.

In a nearby clearing, Gehr began his routine training, and only came to an end when the sun completely ruled the sky and the number of people around him gradually increased.

After returning to the inn and taking a cool shower, Gehr felt completely back to normal and refreshed.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, they found that the other four members of the team had already sat around a table and started eating.

Seeing Ger walk to his seat, Lucarin's expression did not change, as usual, as if nothing had happened yesterday, and pushed a plate of milk, eggs, and bread set meals prepared in front of Ger.

"It's yours, if it's cold, order another one. ”

"Yes, thank you. Gehr took the plate and ate it.

Iona, however, seemed a little strange, and looked at the two of them in surprise for a while, and finally found nothing, and then gave up and continued to eat her own breakfast.

"Wait a minute, go shopping with me and buy something, you promised yesterday. When Gehr was almost eating, Lucarin's voice rang in his ears.

"Okay. Gell swallowed the bread in his mouth and nodded in agreement to Lucarin.

"I'm going too, but this time I brought too few clothes, and there were a lot of broken ones on the road, so I didn't have enough for a long time. Iona said.

"Well, let's do it together. Lucarine nodded without objection, much to Iona's surprise.

"Ida. Klemmie, what about you?" saw that the three members of the team had decided to go shopping together. Gehr turned to the remaining two.

"We still have something to do, so we won't go. Date refused on behalf of the two brothers.

"Alright. Let's start early, and when it's late, there will be more and more people. ”

"Let's go, then. ”

......

Half an hour later.

Gehr followed alone, and in front of him Lucary and Iona were happily picking up clothes at a clothing store down the street.

In order to attract popularity, the owners of the shops in this area put some of the clothes on the roadside outside the store and reduced the price, and even the aristocratic lady like Lucarin, who was not short of money, was attracted to it.

Gehr followed behind the two women, turning here and there for a while, but there was a little dazed in his eyes. But he was thinking about some of his questions that he didn't have answers for the time being, and he didn't waste time.

After finally browsing the small street shops, the two women headed for the Gilier department store in front of them.

The Giiller Department Store is one of the commercial centers of Wattsford Street, the three-story building is well-decorated, and the goods are mainly mid-to-high-end, and those with a little money like to go there.

From the outside, the Gilier department store looks like a large stone tower, square, and after entering, you find that the inside is very well lit, and glass materials are used on the sunny side. The clever arrangement allows sunlight to enter the building without damage.

The three of them entered the department store one after another, and the light emitted by the chandelier on the ceiling on the first floor illuminated the entire floor, and the melodious music flowed soothingly, which calmed people's hearts at once.

Huge space. On either side of the wall is a staircase leading to the second floor, which is divided into four areas according to different goods.

It took nearly an hour for the three of them to reach the third floor. It's also where the most upscale items in the department store come in. "Gehr, come here. "While Gehr was working on a silver longbow in the weapons section. Lucarin's voice reached her ears. Turning his head, he saw Lucarin greeting him at the door of a clothing store not far away.

"What's wrong?" said Gell lowered his longbow. Walked over.

"Come in. Lucarin pushed Gehr into the store and led him to the fitting room, where a salesperson was already waiting with a pile of clothes. "Try it differently. ”

Gehr shrugged his shoulders, after the first few similar things, knowing that it was useless to protest with them, he consciously took his clothes and entered the fitting room.

It was a purple and casual jacket and trousers, which looked very formal, and Sophia had prepared similar sets for him at home, but he had never been unfit for fighting, so he rarely wore them.

It took the fastest time to change, Gehr habitually straightened his collar in front of the mirror, then opened the door and walked out.

"Yes, that's good. Lucarin looked Gehr up and down, nodded with satisfaction, this suit is a little close-fitting, highlighting Gehr's perfect muscle lines, although the appearance is a little average, but the overall feeling is up a notch. "That's it, Geer, you wear it like that. ”

Lucarine took the smiling salesman to check out, Gehr shook his head a little crying, moved a little, felt as if the clothes would tear as long as he exerted his strength, and carefully put away the hunting suit he had changed.

After more than an hour, after a few more shopping bags, today's shopping came to an end, and then as soon as they came out of the department store, the two women shouted that they were tired and wanted to find a place to rest.

After looking around, I immediately chose a nearby restaurant on the side of the road.

This is a café called Song of Snow Peaks, although it looks ordinary from the outside, but in fact the interior is quite stylish, the interior is an unpretentious wooden structure, the ceiling, floor, columns, bar counters and seats are made of polished and smooth wood, and strings of green vines are cleverly embellished in this not spacious space, giving people a fresh feeling.

Gehr took a sip of the special hand-ground coffee here, and immediately felt a rich aroma spread in his mouth.

In the open space in front of the bar, a man dressed as a troubadour is operating a harp, and the music flows through the space like a spring, with a relaxing aesthetic.

Time flowed minute by minute, and here time seemed to be completely unable to attract people's attention, and it was only a dense and neat sound of horses' hooves that broke this atmosphere.

"Look, it's the eldest princess!"

"Where?"

"There it is, you see, the leading knight. ”

"I'll see...... It's really, how can the eldest princess come out now?"

"Who knows?"

......

The chatter at the next table caught Geer's attention, and he pushed open the window beside him, and looked in the direction from which the horse's hooves came, and a group of silver knights appeared in the field of vision not far away.

The first one was a female knight in silver armor, the armor that was far more beautiful than practical set off her bewitching figure, her long purple hair was tied up with a hairband and put on one shoulder, her skin was white and tender like snow on a snowy mountain, with a purple veil, and the big dark purple eyes that were exposed flashed with some sharp light.

"This is one of the most likely heirs to the throne of Duke Haysting?"

Gehr watched the eldest princess's cavalry walk down the street, finally out of sight, his face thoughtful. (To be continued......)
