Perhaps for the convenience of walking in the forest, the girl who suddenly appeared in front of everyone was only wearing light clothes, a clean off-white lining, a brown vest and trousers, leather gloves and leather riding boots, and a cover on the outside.
A dusty cloak that looked exactly like those travelers traveling through the countryside.
But her temperament is obviously much more outstanding than those dusty travelers. Her tall figure stands there like a straight flagpole. She is almost as tall as Ringer by visual inspection. The girl has beautiful waterfall-like hair.
Her white hair was tied into a high ponytail behind her head with a silver ribbon, and the thick mane-like ends fluttered slightly in the wind passing through the forest.
There are also people with white hair on Cloud Whale Sky Island, such as Countess Neville and Angel Ietta, but this girl's white hair is different from both of them. Neville's white hair is like moonlight.
Bright and flawless, Ieta's white hair is as pure and beautiful as milky white as feathers, while her white hair is like snow, clear and cold, but it does not make people feel cold. On the contrary, it is more like
The warmth of the snow that melts on a spring day, paired with her burgundy eyes that are always slightly outlined and look like she is smiling whether she is speaking or silent, makes people feel even more gentle and friendly.
.
but--
Ringer's eyes moved down slightly and fell on the girl's hands. The thing she held in her ten bent fingers was not a weapon, but a... broom?
Moreover, it is a large broom made of branches and vines, which is more suitable for cleaning streets and gardens. In the past, Ringo had only seen this kind of tool from the sweepers hired by the city hall or the old gardener of St. Lowood National School.
Unexpectedly, it would appear in the hands of a girl about the same age as herself.
"Ah." Seeing that Ringer had been paying attention to the broom in her hand, the girl couldn't help but chuckle and explained to him: "I was sweeping fallen leaves in the forest just now. I heard some movement here and rushed over to check the situation."
Her expression and tone were too natural, as if she felt from the bottom of her heart that this was a very common thing and nothing worth paying attention to, but it made Ringer, who was overly concerned about this matter, a bit too serious.
Cleaning up fallen leaves?
So, was she cleaning the stone road that I saw in the forest just now? Although I had already guessed that someone was repairing and maintaining this road, I didn't expect that it would be such a young girl. Lin Ge set his sights again
The girl's face was scrutinized for a while, and then she frowned slightly. He was still not sure of the girl's identity and origin. To be precise, he couldn't tell whether she was an ordinary person or whether she had some knowledge of the mysterious world.
Anyone who knows her, if she saw the scene of Alice confronting the blue boot...
“Gah oh ga oh!”
When Ringer was wondering whether to ask others to cover up a little, Blue Boots, who was confronting Alice under the tree, had already noticed the movement. As soon as it saw the girl, its eyes immediately shone brightly and excitedly.
He waved his paws and made a cry that sounded like an accusation and a cry for help.
"Blazer?"
Only then did the girl realize that there was a person and a cat facing each other under the tree. She raised her head, her eyes passed over Ringer and the others, and landed on the blue boots. She brushed her thick eyelashes, and her burgundy eyes showed
Shining like wine that has been fermented for many years, he said: "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you and your companions to stay by the lake and not come out to play if you have nothing to do? You have a special status. If you are discovered, you will be killed.
Oh no."
Stay at the lake?
Ringer caught this key word, and he was keenly aware of something. But before the young man could figure it out, Alice, who was in anger, had already turned her head and asked angrily: "So, you and this smelly cat are the same."
Are you in a group?"
Stinky cat? When the girl heard this name, the smile in her eyes suddenly disappeared, and her pretty brows frowned slightly. Everyone could tell that she seemed a little unhappy, maybe because her friend was looked down upon.
Be dissatisfied.
Despite this, she still maintained her gentle and patient tone, appearing to be very reserved: "Miss, I don't know if Blazer has offended you in any way. If so, please tell me and I will ask him to apologize.
But before that, I hope you can at least retain some respect. Maybe in your eyes, he is just a ghost who cannot speak human words, but he is a very important friend to me. "
"Oh, is it so?"
Alice sneered when she heard this and didn't take her words to heart. Although the other party was also a beautiful girl, and she had white hair and red eyes that hit her strike zone, the talented player wouldn't mind chatting with her if they met her on a regular basis.
, and by the way, meet some small requests that are not excessive. But it can’t be done now. After Alice was cheated on her feelings, she is holding a belly of anger in her heart. Let alone the beautiful girl, you can’t even bring Ringer and Saint Charlia out to break up the fight.
Useless.
"I really want to give this guy some respect, but who made him come to trouble me first?" Alice glanced at the blue boots named Blaze, and saw that the latter was still glaring at her, and even flashed his
He used his sharp fangs to intimidate him without any introspection, so he curled his lips and said: "Everyone who knows me, Alice, knows how pure and kind I am. I can't even bear to trample an ant to death when I walk. When I see a cute
Kittens and puppies will also take the initiative to feed me. From birds flying in the sky to squirrels climbing in the trees to fish swimming in the water, as long as they are small animals, there is no one who dislikes me. I love small animals so much and am also loved by them.
How could I hate a cat for no reason? So, I don’t need to say whose problem it is?”
I just wanted to vomit after hearing this.
Not to mention the girl's dubious look, even her companions were left speechless by Alice. They didn't know whether they should stand up and speak for her. Logically speaking, Alice is indeed being reasonable in this matter (perhaps
It was also a rare moment for her to be reasonable), but her boastful words just now were a bit disgusting to everyone, so they didn't want to speak. What if the other party took it seriously, and Alice herself took it seriously?
The forest was silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little strange. Xie Mi looked left and right, with a tangled expression. The little elf believed that the reason why the situation turned out like this was more or less her own responsibility. If she had recognized the blue boots earlier,
The origin of , reminds everyone to stay away from it, maybe Alice will not be teased.
Feeling guilty, she had to hold back her nausea and stood up to speak for Alice: "I, I can testify that what Alice said is true - well, at least part of it is true. She didn't want to embarrass this person.
Only blue boots, it was your friend who went too far and stole Alice's cassette, that's why she was so angry."
Everyone on Cloud Whale Sky Island may not know how popular Alice is with small animals, but they definitely know how much she attaches importance to her game console and cartridges. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as treating her as life. Therefore, Blue
Boots' actions were more than just teasing her, it should be said that he was trying to seize food from the tiger's mouth.
"Blazer stole your stuff?"
The girl was startled for a moment, and then her face quickly darkened. She tightened her grip on the broom slightly, looked across the crowd and landed on the blue boot, raised her eyelids slightly, and asked in a calm tone: "
Is this true, Blazer?"
After the words fell, I don't know if it was an illusion or something. The temperature in the forest seemed to have dropped a lot. The cold wind blew through the treetops and poured into the corners of clothes, making everyone feel shuddering and took a step back in unison.
Far away from the girl. And the blue boots that were stared at by her eyes trembled and shivered. It was retreating and wanted to escape, but the girl's eyes were firmly locked on it, and a stern sound came from its nostrils.
Question: "Huh?"
The blue boots stopped motionless, and a touch of human fear flashed in the amber vertical pupils. It stood there tremblingly like a truant student caught by the teacher. As soon as the girl saw it like this, she knew that Xie Mi was not there.
It's a lie, not to mention that she didn't think the traveler goblin could talk in the first place, but Blue Boots likes to play pranks by nature. Although Blaze and his companions have been very calm since they were educated by him, who knows if they will fall into their old ways.
Woolen cloth?
Even so, she would not jump to conclusions without understanding the whole story, so she narrowed her eyes slightly and asked word by word: "What is going on, Blaze, can you talk to me?"
Can you explain me?"
"Explanation? Is there any explanation!" Alice shouted: "Did you see those cassettes on the ground? They were snatched away and dropped to the ground. If they are broken, huh, I'm not done with you!"
She stared at Blue Boots with a look that could kill, but the latter ignored her, and instead screamed at the girl, shouting back while accompanied by gestures and movements.
Pointing to Alice, sometimes to himself, and sometimes to the cassettes scattered on the ground, he used his hands and mouth to explain the whole story to the girl.
The girl also listened attentively, nodding while listening, as if she really understood what Blue Boots was saying. Gradually, her expression became strange, first surprised, then confused, and finally changed to
A kind of helplessness that she wanted to laugh but was holding back her laughter. After Lan Boots' story was over, she turned back, shook her head to everyone and said: "Sorry, everyone, it sounds like this is a complete misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding!?" Alice didn't accept this statement. This was all misunderstood by you. Then is the matter of me being teased just over? Seeing that you look so sweet and kind, I thought you were a reasonable person.
I didn't expect that I would be biased, and it was so obvious. Do you think I'm a fool?
Others did not accept it very well, and looked at the girl with suspicion. The other party also knew that he could not convince these people with his empty words, so he sighed helplessly and explained: "Blaze said, he saw you.
Well...well, the whale fell into the Emerald Lake. I thought you were intruders who broke into the forest privately, so I wanted to use this method to drive you away. Other than that, there is no malicious intention. I hope you can understand.
.”
Intruder?
Alice sneered when she heard this: "So, the Forest of Lothar has become this guy's back garden? Anyone who breaks in without its permission is called an intruder, right?"
This is an ownerless land. I can come in whenever I want. You are just a cat living here. Why do you think you are its owner and openly claim to expel the intruders? You say this
When you spoke, didn’t you feel even a little bit ashamed?
"Well."
Faced with Alice's question, a trace of embarrassment appeared on the girl's face. She scratched the corners of her mouth with her fingers and said with some embarrassment: "Lother's Forest is indeed not Blaze's back garden, it is just this forest.
Just one of the residents..."
"I'll just tell you." Before she could finish speaking, Alice raised her head proudly. If her nose could stretch, it would have reached the sky by now.
"But this is indeed my back garden."
"..."
Alice blinked and said hesitantly: "What...did you just say?"
Maybe she heard it wrong.
Hahaha, how is it possible that this large forest is the back garden of one person's home? Do you think you are the third princess of the Victoria royal family? Even the third princess would not dare to say such big words...
"It seems that you don't quite believe it." The girl sighed softly. She knew that this kind of thing was indeed shocking, so she usually kept a low profile and never deliberately showed off. But judging from today's situation, if
If the matter is not explained clearly, I am afraid that Miss Alice will not let go.
She put the broom in her hand on the tree trunk aside, put the index and middle fingers of her right hand together, and pressed it gently on her heart. She put her left hand behind her back, bowed slightly, and bowed to everyone. Ringer's eyes were slightly moved.
With a twinkle, he recognized that this was not an ordinary noble ceremony, but the most standard knightly ceremony of the White City Republic before the republican era: "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself earlier. My name is Xino, Xino Qin Gustaf."
(Xeno·jean·Gustave), is the heir of the Gustave family, and the land you are standing on, which is what outsiders call the Forest of Loser, is the property of the Gustave family. You can also think that...
"
When she said this, she paused slightly, but no one noticed it, so it still sounded like a coherent sentence: "It is our family's fiefdom."
Alice was dumbfounded after hearing this. The others were not as exaggerated as she was, but they were equally surprised and a little embarrassed: because didn't this mean that they were indeed intruders, breaking into her without the owner's permission?
At home, he even quarreled with her with all his heart.
Isn't this too... dramatic?
Saint Xalia looked away silently, Olvera raised her head and wandered away, Gloria gently stroked the gray-feathered falcon in her arms, and Lorena began to study the unknown mushrooms growing at the roots of the tree seriously.
Whether it has the value of alchemy, even Leticia, who doesn't care about shame the most, quietly hid behind her friends and stopped making any sound. What she was thinking was that it would be more embarrassing if grandma was here. After all, she
He is the head of the Valenhild family and has always cared about the noble demeanor and cultivation.
Fortunately, she said she wanted to take a sunbath while the weather was fine, so she stayed on the empty island and did not follow her, otherwise she would have embarrassed the Bloodfang clan.
It doesn't matter now, after all, Alice is the one who is embarrassed.
The little bat, who didn't care about her last name, avoided it while snickering in her heart. At the same time, she was a little lucky, because she actually wanted to ridicule just now, but Alice's heart was straighter than hers, and her mouth was faster than hers.
Ringer frowned slightly. He didn't care about things like shame. No matter how embarrassing it was, it didn't matter if he explained it clearly. What he cared about more was the name of the Goldstaff family, which he seemed to have read about in a book.
Records. He recalled it, and finally found the traces from the "Modern History of the White City Republic" that he took in college: "...Gestav, the White Knight of Glengenia, Hebberton Qin Gustaf
?”
Xino glanced at him in surprise, but quickly put away his surprise and nodded calmly: "It's the ancestor."
The young man let out a breath and said: "I see, I have heard about the famous White Thorn Flower Costavo family for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet its heir here. It's really rude."
White thorn flower, Costaphy?
Pairs of curious, doubtful, appraising and scrutinizing eyes fell on this young girl.
