In the evening, the twilight is dim, and the bloody setting sun spreads over the woods and mountains, like a bright red tide saturating the island. Metien, Semi and Leticia, who have been playing outside all afternoon, should go back to eat.
It’s dinner. If you don’t rush back early, you’ll get scolded.
Metien and Semi were busy cleaning up the traces left by their picnic, while Leticia walked to the shore and looked up at the sea farther away. The blue sea at dusk looked particularly peaceful, without even a single wave, and the sunset
Under the refraction of sapphire, the hazy light blooms, quite like an oil painting with strange colors. At the end of the line of sight, several unknown seabirds are spreading their wings, passing over the horizon, flying in this direction. I don't know if they are flying in this direction.
Kongdao became a real island, and I wanted to rest here for a night.
Everything was very calm, and nothing unusual could be seen with the naked eye, but Leticia always felt that something was not right, as if someone's eyes were secretly spying on the calm sea, monitoring every move of Kongdao. This gaze seemed to
It can come from any direction, but when you search carefully, you can't find it. This makes Leticia a little anxious, not knowing whether to believe this intuition or regard it as an illusion.
At this time, Metien and Semi had already cleaned up the traces on the ground and were waving to her with a picnic basket: "Hey, Leticia! Let's go, we should go back!"
The vampire girl bit her lower lip lightly, and the oncoming sea breeze blew a few messy silver hairs on her forehead. A look of hesitation flashed in her pure bright red eyes, but in the end she said nothing.
He turned around and shouted to his friends: "Okay, I'm here!"
So, the three of them left here along the path they came from, and returned to the hotel. After that, it was a very normal process: the landlady noticed the grass blades stained on their clothes, and asked in a chillingly gentle tone what happened today.
Where did they go to play? Because they didn't dare to answer directly, they chose to use hemming and haphazard explanations to fool them. Fortunately, the landlady was in a good mood and didn't care about them much. She just drove them to take a shower. After washing their dirty bodies,
, it happened to be dinner time, and since there was no bad boy who only loved eating meat, we had sour pear stewed fish, fruit salad and vegetable soup tonight. Xie Mi was very happy; after the meal, Metien continued to go back
She had to make up for her homework, and Xie Mi was ordered by her second sister to make up for her homework because she forgot the cleaning task, and went to wash the dishes with the rabbit gentlemen... During the whole process, Leticia behaved normally and did not mention anything.
My own misunderstanding just now.
But.
She didn't feel that it was really just an illusion in her heart. The reason was very simple. In the past long years, she had to face the pursuit from the alliance of religious orders and some ambitious people who plotted the power of immortality almost every day. Over time, she gradually tempered herself.
She has developed a keen intuition and has an almost instinctive ability to predict danger. Sometimes, she would rather believe in her intuition than the calmness she sees with the naked eye, because the naked eye may deceive people, but instinct
Not with intuition.
She had kept silent before because she felt that it would be useless to tell Meridian and Xemi about this matter. It would only cause them to panic. And if she told other people, she did not have such a trusting relationship with them.
So in the end, she decided to only tell the people closest to her about it and let her decide what to do.
That is her grandmother Neville.
After dinner, Leticia sneaked out of the hotel and went to the primrose field to look for her grandmother. On the edge of the flower field, close to the forest where the hotel is located, there was an open space. It was originally a dense forest, but later St.
Shalia decided to build a classroom at this location to promote her education for Leticia, so the trees were cut down, and the tree stumps were fixed into natural seats by the boss lady Siesta using fairy magic.
The fallen tree trunks are processed into building materials, which can be said to have contributed all their value to education.
St. Xalia drew the drawings of the classroom based on what she had seen during her past travels. Some of the decorations were based on the style of the Tianxin Church. She didn’t know much about architecture, so there were bound to be mistakes in the structure, but it didn’t matter.
With the magic of fairies, no matter how unreasonable the architectural design is, it can eventually become a real object. So before going to Lottana City, Saint Charlia entrusted the relevant work to Neville and entrusted her to represent her on her behalf.
Supervise the construction process. Considering that this is a classroom built for her granddaughter after all, it would be a bit embarrassing to not contribute any effort, so the Countess readily agreed.
When Leticia rushed to the construction site, she saw those tireless stone spirit guards, under the command of her grandmother, working hard to carry stones and wood, adding bricks and tiles to this great construction undertaking. Behind them,
The foundation of the classroom has been laid, and it is shining brightly under the illumination of dozens of kerosene lamps.
These stone spirit guards can not only be gardeners, but can also clear dust and move bricks. Isn’t this too versatile!? Without them, how long would it take for this classroom to be built?
Of course this is not praise, on the contrary, it is hatred.
Leticia made a growl in her throat and stopped with some fear. She always felt that she was not walking towards the construction site, but was walking towards the tragic grave in her life, where she was doomed to endure inhuman torture for the rest of her life. It was simply worse than being tortured.
Those humans and aliens with ulterior motives are even more miserable when they hunt them down.
Her legs were trembling, and it was difficult to take steps for a while.
But it doesn't matter. Neville has noticed her granddaughter's arrival a long time ago. She gestured to the hard-working stone spirit guards, saying that the work for today ends here. You can go back and rest first, and then flew in this direction.
He came, landed in front of his granddaughter, and asked doubtfully: "Leticia, why are you here?"
"Grandma, I am... uh?" Leticia raised her head and saw that her grandma was wearing a rustic helmet on top of her head. The searchlight on the top also cast a white beam of light into her eyes, and her expression suddenly changed.
Embarrassed: "Grandma, what are you doing?"
"Oh, this." Neville casually held up the khaki safety helmet on her head and said, "Alice insisted that I wear it. She talked about construction safety and said that all human beings wear this on construction sites. No.
If you wear it, the security officer will be dragged to pray to heaven or something... It seems very serious, so I put it on."
In fact, if the stone spirit guards weren't thick-skinned and couldn't find helmets that met their specifications, Alice would still want them to wear them.
It turns out it was that guy from Alice who did it again!
She must be jealous of her grandma's beauty, so she thought of using this despicable method to lower her temperament!
Leticia silently made a note to the golden-haired maid and vowed to settle the account properly in the future.
Neville herself didn't think it was ugly to wear this helmet, or at her age, she no longer cared about superficial things like beauty and ugliness. She asked Leticia again about her purpose, and the girl said
Then I remembered that I had something serious to talk about, and quickly told my grandma about the feeling of being spied on when I was playing at the beach.
After listening, Neville showed a thoughtful expression: "So you think we are being watched?"
"Well, that's definitely the case!" Leticia nodded seriously, then thought of something, and quickly added: "Maybe it's a mermaid?"
Neville: "..."
Even if there are mermaids under the sea, there is no prince on their island.
The countess touched her granddaughter's head and said in a funny tone: "The mermaid is just a fairy tale. I think it is probably some aliens living in the sea who feel that we have invaded their territory, so they are hesitant to take measures." Take action?
"Are they going to beat us?" Leticia's simple mind only had the words "beat and kill".
"Not necessarily." Neville shook her head: "It depends on the degree of civilization of the other party. If it is an alien with wisdom and has developed a civilized form, there may be the possibility of peaceful negotiation. After all, we are only here temporarily and will not
I've been staying here for a long time... In short, you don't need to worry about this matter. I'll go to Miss Siesta to discuss it. As for you, just go back to bed as soon as possible. Children, don't stay up late, it will hurt your health."
"Oh." Leticia nodded honestly, and did not refute the child's statement, nor did she feel unwilling, because she also felt that leaving the matter to grandma was the best choice.
"By the way, Leticia."
"Ah, is there anything else, grandma?"
"Before going to bed, remember to review yesterday's homework."
