Chapter 1458 Frustration
There is no treasure house or identification place in Kongsberg. Alice could only find a few local old people to ask about the only two geographical names shown on the sheepskin map, but Unfortunately, no one knows where it is, and the map is relatively simple to draw, with only simple red lines drawn on it. It is impossible to tell which area is shown on the map and what terrain it belongs to.
"What should we do? Do we really have to start walking aimlessly again?" Alice sighed and returned to the market street. She was about to return to the rented room to retrieve her luggage and mounts when she suddenly saw the crowd. A dark shadow flashed across the screen. "Well, that's..." Alice looked at the black figure that looked very much like the masked man who attacked her that night and stole the magic bottle, and quickly squeezed into the crowd to chase after her.
A few corners up and down, the masked man wrapped in a turban stopped at the ruins of Kongsberg Fortress. He stood on a piece of gravel and looked at Alice, with a smile in his eyes: "You I'm chasing you." His voice sounded a bit like a middle-aged man's, hoarse and phlegm-like, as if his throat had been damaged by long-term smoking.
"You lured me here on purpose." Alice frowned: "Who are you, and what is your purpose of luring me here?"
The masked man laughed: "I just want to say a few words to you."
"What do you want to say?"
"Little girl, don't meddle in other people's business. Sometimes you have to meddle." Things that shouldn't be taken care of will pay unexpected prices." The masked man cleared the phlegm in his throat and said: "A person like you still has a great future. "Sir, your life shouldn't be wasted here. Go back home. Wouldn't it be nice to have your parents with you?"
Alice said: "You just want to tell me this." ?”
“This is my advice. If you don’t listen to my advice, I may be the first person to kill you!”
Alice glared at the other person and said coldly: "Don't try to intimidate me. You took away my magic bottle. It's time to give it back to me!" As she spoke, she stamped her feet and rushed towards the masked man. The move was already bursting with domineering power: "Lion Heart!"
The masked man snorted coldly: "Humph! I don't know how high the sky is, I should give you some training!" He spread his arms and smiled. With a slight tremor, extremely strong air pressure shot out for dozens of meters around. Facing Alice's sudden attack, he suppressed Alice's domineering force with just his own air pressure, and then quickly made a move, He punched Alice below the throat and in the middle of the two collarbones. Then he quickly moved behind Alice and punched Alice again on the spine of the back of her neck.
The two punches came one after the other, but they were so fast that they seemed to be delivered at the same time. Alice was knocked unconscious to the ground before she could feel the choking in her throat.
The masked man smiled coldly and lifted Alice on his shoulders.
……
Stars hanging high, moonless night. When Alice woke up, she found herself on an abandoned floor. The rubble of rock bricks and damaged high walls nearby made her quickly understand that she was in the abandoned fortress of Kongsberg. But then she immediately found that her coat had been taken off and her underwear was messy. She was startled and hurriedly checked her body and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that she had not been violated.
She picked up the clothes on the ground and put them back on. There were a lot of things that had been dug out of her body scattered on the ground. She suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly groped around on her body and rummaged through the ground: "Ah, The sheepskin map is missing!" After trying it once, she looked for it again, and sure enough, the sheepskin map was taken away. She sat slumped on the ground, with tears streaming down her face: "You bastard! You took away my magic bottle, and also stole my sheepskin map..." She burst into tears. The map and magic bottle she finally got were not found. Being taken away so easily by others, such setbacks and blows made her feel panicked and full of grievances.
After crying for a while, she tried hard to hold back her grievance, but her patience made her feel even more uncomfortable. She fell to the ground, choking and sobbing, with tears streaming down her face. She hugged each other tightly: "Why are you doing this to me? I just want to do something to help the dead master. Why..." The more she cried, the more she cried in her heart. The discomfort made her choke more and more.
After crying and shedding tears for a long time, she suddenly felt discouraged and felt that it was too difficult to fulfill Master's wish. She stared blankly at the darkness above: "Maybe I really should go back and shouldn't stay anymore. At least the queen mother... still loves me." How she wished at this time that a pair of arms could give her warmth and give her comfort. Just when her will was wavering and she was shrinking, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in her mind.
“Master!”
I think of Master and how he used to travel around the world alone and alone. That cold and lonely look has never wavered.
Alice wiped away her tears and sat up: "Yes, I can't give up. What is this setback? Compared with everything the master has experienced, this difficulty is nothing. The master is dead, As his only disciple, how could I not do something for him? For no other reason than to tell him that Alice has grown up, matured, and can face all challenges and difficulties independently." Alice sat up on the ground and dusted herself off: "Yes, I want to be there. If you give up here, you are not worthy of being his disciple. Did you ever give up when you took me out of the abyss? Master took me out of the golden cage in the palace. Do I have to run back again?"
She took the things scattered on the ground. Pack it up one by one, wipe your face clean, walk to the broken At the broken wall: "No matter how many difficulties there are, I, Alice, have got all the twelve pieces of dragon zero in the world! If you want me to give up, it's impossible! Even when I'm eighty or ninety years old, I will get them all." They!" After saying that, he jumped down from the high building of the fortress and disappeared into the night. ......
It was sunny on August 7, and Alice was on her way to Windmill Town. There are many small towns called Windmill Town in the world. This Windmill Town is no longer within the borders of Toliba Country, but is located in the neighboring Midgard Country. As you can tell from the name, the origin of Windmill Town must be related to windmills. It is said that there is a large windmill in the town, which was the starting point for the establishment of the town, hence its name.
Walking slowly along the country road, this place is no longer a desert area, but is surrounded by lush grassland. There were stray dogs wandering on the paths, and large buffaloes lying down and grazing on the grass. Because there were many villages nearby, they could meet pedestrians on the road from time to time, and it was also convenient for Alice to ask for directions.
“How can I get to Windmill Town?” Alice pulled the reins of the desert doodle bird and asked the passing villagers.
The villager was carrying a load of materials, pointing behind him and saying: "After exiting the hill in front, there is a fork in the road. Take the road on the right. There are road signs there, you can understand them at a glance. "
"Hey, thank you." Alice looked at her pocket watch and said, "It's already lunch time. Let's go to the front to buy some food before we go on the road." She pulled the reins and walked forward.
After walking not far, we saw three houses with three bungalows in small courtyards, all built under the big trees on both sides of the road. Alice came to a courtyard and saw two two- and three-year-old children crawling, rolling and playing on the ground, giggling from time to time. Their mother was chasing them, feeding them corn, green beans and rice, and scolding them. Don't scratch caterpillars on the ground.
"Excuse me, may I ask..."
The mother in the yard looked up and saw a little girl, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Alice got off the bird and got on "I would like to ask if you have any food at home that you can sell to me," he said. The food I brought was eaten on the road. "Buy some here."
Mom said: "There are only some stir-fried corn and green beans. That's what my child eats."
Alice said hurriedly: "Okay. Could you please sell me some? I’m really hungry and haven’t eaten anything in the morning.”
The mother said: "Okay, just wait, I will serve you a bowl. The child's father, come out and look at the child."
After a while, a man came out of the room, took the child's mother's rice bowl and started feeding the child. child. Not long after, the child's mother came over with a full bowl of corn and green beans: "Do you think these are enough?"
Alice took out the silver coins and handed them over and said: "Enough, enough. Auntie gives you the money." "
"Just a bowl of corn and green beans. How much does it cost? No need." The child's mother put the bowl in Alice's hand and pushed the money back.
"Thank you then." Alice held the bowl and spoon and started enjoying it in the yard.
At this time, another group of people came from the direction where Alice came. They stopped in front of the courtyard: "Ha, so you are here, we finally caught up with you."
Love Liz was startled. It was none other than the group of alligators that he had beaten away in Shaba Island!
