Chapter 1452: Frustration
There is no treasure house in Kongsberg, and Alice can only find a few local old people to ask for the only two geographical names shown on the sheepskin map, but unfortunately, no one knows where they are, and the map is relatively simple, but there are simple red lines to draw, and it is impossible to determine which area is shown on the map and what terrain it belongs to.
"What should I do? are you really going to get back on the road aimlessly?" Alice sighed, and returned to the market street, and was about to return to the rented room to retrieve her luggage mount, when suddenly she saw a dark figure flash in the crowd. "Well, that's ......" Alice looked at the black shadow that looked like the masked man who had attacked her that night and snatched the bottle, and quickly squeezed into the crowd to chase after her.
A few corners rose and fell, and the masked man wrapped in a turban stopped in the remains of the fortress of Kongsburg, and he stood on a piece of gravel and looked at Alice, with a smile in his eyes: "You are coming." His voice was a bit like that of a middle-aged man, hoarse with phlegm, and he felt like he had damaged his throat from long-term smoking.
"You brought me here on purpose. Alice frowned: "Who are you, and what is the purpose of attracting me here?"
The masked man laughed, "I just wanted to say a few words to you." ”
"What are you going to say?"
"Little girl, don't be nosy, sometimes you take care of things that you shouldn't do, and you will have an unexpected price. The masked man cleared the phlegm from his throat and said, "At your age, you still have a great future and a life, and your life should not be wasted here." Go back, back home, with your parents. Isn't it great?"
Alice said, "You just want to tell me this?"
"This is my advice, if you don't listen to my advice, maybe the first person to kill you is me!"
Alice glared at the other party and said coldly: "Don't try to intimidate me, you took away my magic bottle, you should return it to me!"
The masked man snorted coldly: "Hmph! I don't know how thick the sky is, I should give you some training to taste!" He stretched out his arms and shook slightly, and the extremely strong air pressure burst out dozens of meters around. Face Alice's sudden attack. He actually suppressed Alice's domineering aura with only his own air pressure, and then made a quick move, punching Alice below the throat, in the middle of the two collarbones. Then quickly move behind Alice. Another punch hit Alice on the back of her neck.
These two punches are one before the other. But it was so fast that it seemed to happen almost at the same time, and before Alice could feel the choking in her throat, she was knocked unconscious to the ground.
The masked man smiled coldly. Carried Alice on his shoulders.
......
The stars are high, and the moonless night is gone. When Alice wakes up, she finds herself on a deserted floor, surrounded by rubble and broken walls, which quickly make her realize that she is in the abandoned fortress of Fort Kongs. But then she immediately found that her outer clothes had been taken off, and her underwear was also messy, she was startled, and hurriedly checked her body, and found that she had not been violated, so she was relieved.
She picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on again, and there were many things scattered on the ground that had been turned out of her, and she suddenly thought of something, and quickly groped for herself, so that she could turn over the ground again: "Ah, the parchment map is gone!" She sat limp on the ground, tears streaming down her eyes: "Bastard, snatched my magic bottle, and stole my sheepskin map...... She burst into tears, the map and magic bottle that she finally got were easily taken away by others, such frustrations and blows made her heart panic, full of grievances.
After crying for a while, she tried her best to hold back her grievances, but patience made her feel even more uncomfortable. She fell to the ground choking and sobbing, tears flowing, and her body hugged her tightly: "Why do you do this to me? I just want to do something for the dead master, why ......?"
After crying for a long time, and tears flowed for a long time, she suddenly felt a little disheartened, and felt that it was too difficult to fulfill Master's wish. She stared blankly at the darkness above, "Maybe I should really go back, not stay." At least the queen mother she ...... Still love me. How she wished that a pair of arms would give her warmth and comfort. Just when her will was shaken and she flinched, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Master!"
When I think of Master, I think of how he used to be alone and lonely all over the world. That cold and lonely look has never wavered.
Alice wiped away her tears and sat up: "Yes, I don't give up. What is this setback? Compared to the qiē that Master experienced, this little difficulty is nothing at all. Master is dead, how can I, as his only disciple, not do something with him. If nothing else, just to tell him that Alice has grown up, matured, and able to become independent of a qiē test and difficulty. Alice sat on the ground and got up, patting the dust off her body: "Yes, if I give up here, I am not worthy of being his disciple." When Master took me out of the abyss with his bare hands, did you ever give up? Master took me out of the golden wire cage in the palace, so hard that I had to run back by myself?"
She picked up the things scattered on the ground one by one, wiped her face clean, and walked to the broken wall: "No matter how many difficulties there are, I Alice has taken all the twelve dragon zeros in the world! If you want me to give up, it is impossible! Even if I am eighty or ninety years old, I will get them all!" After saying that, he jumped into the fortress and disappeared into the night.
......
On August 7th, Alice was on her way to Windmill Town. Windmill Town is no longer part of Toliba but is located in the neighbouring country of Midghat. As the name suggests, the origin of the windmill town must be related to the windmill, and it is said that the town has a large windmill, which is the starting point for the establishment of the town, hence the name.
Walk slowly along the country road, which is no longer a desert area, surrounded by lush meadows. The stray dogs wandering on the path, the big buffalo lying on the grass grazing, because there are many villages nearby, so you can meet pedestrians on the road from time to time, and it is also convenient for Alice to inquire about directions.
"How do I get to Windmill Town?" Alice grabbed the reins of the desert took and asked the villagers passing by.
The villager carried a load of wood, pointed behind him and said, "Out of the hill in front, there is a fork in the road in front, take the road on the right." There are signposts out there, and you can understand it when you look at it. ”
"Hey, thank you. Alice looked at her pocket watch: "It's already lunchtime, let's go to the front house to buy some food to eat before we go on the road." She pulled the reins and walked forward.
After walking a short distance, I saw three small courtyards of three bungalows, all built under the big trees on both sides of the road. When Alice came to the courtyard, she saw two children of two or three years old crawling and rolling on the floor, giggling from time to time, and their mother was chasing after them to feed them corn and green bean rice, and to tell them not to catch the caterpillars on the ground.
"Excuse me, excuse me......"
The mother in the courtyard looked up and saw that it was a little girl and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Alice got out of the bird and stepped forward and said, "I would like to ask if there is anything you have at home that you can sell me?" I brought food to eat on the way, and I want to buy some from you." ”
Mom said, "All that's left is some cooked corn and green beans." Well, that's what my kids eat. ”
Alice hurriedly said: "Yes, please sell me some, I am really hungry, and I haven't eaten in the morning." ”
Mom said, "Okay, you wait, I'll give you a bowl." The child's father, come out and watch the child. ”
After a while, a man came out of the house, took the child's mother's rice bowl and continued to feed the child. After a while, the child's mother came over with a bowl full of corn and green beans: "Do you see that these are enough?"
Alice took out the silver coin and handed it over, "Enough is enough." Auntie gives you money. ”
"Just a bowl of corn and green beans, what kind of money do you want, no. The child's mother put the bowl in Alice's hand and pushed the money back.
"Thank you then. Alice took the spoon and ate it in the courtyard.
At this moment, another group of people came from the direction from which Alice came, and they stopped in front of the courtyard: "Ha, it turns out that we are here, and we finally let us catch up with you." ”
Alice was stunned, it was none other than the alligators who were beaten away by him in Sapa Island!
