Chapter 638 116. Eat

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Perhaps no one knows what Fisher was thinking when he saw the golden carriage below, but there is no doubt that a warning sound of such approaching danger may have appeared in his mind.

But I'm afraid now is not the time to be anxious, and he is not afraid of Elizabeth, because before he came back this time, he had already decided to face her to fulfill the promise he made before leaving. He was just hesitating whether he should see her now. , before Teacher Hailsham's funeral.

Admittedly, judging from the fact that Elizabeth would visit Teresa for several consecutive years, if Fisher really told her frankly that "at least everything should be settled after Hailsham's funeral," she would probably agree.

But for some reason, when he saw the white carriage below, Fisher felt a palpitation in his heart that he had never seen in Elizabeth before. This feeling did not come from the intensity of the rank. But it comes from psychology.

He always had a psychologically uncomfortable feeling, as unnatural as being under the gaze of seven archangels in the sanctuary.

He turned his head and glanced at Emhardt next to him, only to find that his whole body was shaking, and a golden light emitted from his body unconsciously, causing Fisher to ask in a low voice,

"What's wrong?"

"The relic down there seems to be a little scary. I don't dare to talk to her, and I don't dare to let her find me. Fisher, why don't we go first?"

Fisher raised his eyebrows. You must know that when Lake Nali was so dangerous, Emhardt dared to secretly talk to Pandora's prosthetic eye, but now he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say a word. This made Fisher feel uncomfortable. I was surprised, and seemed to see more and more things wrong with Elizabeth when she returned.

He was silent for a moment and made a decisive decision. Then he walked quickly to the little girl named "Alicia" and spoke softly to her,

"Alicia, where are the things that Mr. Hailsham left for me?"

The corners of Alicia's mouth curled up a little when she heard this. She looked at the crystal coffin where Hailsson was lying next to her. There was obviously an ethereal look in her eyes that shouldn't be seen at this age.

"Sure enough, eldest brother, you don't want that eldest sister to ruin grandpa's funeral. Come with me. There is teleportation magic here. I will take eldest brother to get the things grandpa left for you."

Alicia, who was holding the doll, said this, while looking at her petite back, the conversation below her ears became closer and closer. The first person to speak was Valerie's husband's Nari language with a characteristic Shivali accent.

"Your Majesty, thank you for traveling all the way from Saint-Nali to express your condolences. We are really grateful that Valerie is not feeling well today, and we hope you will forgive him for not looking so good."

"That's understandable, but I heard that Mr. Hailsham also adopted another granddaughter?"

"Don't mention her!? It was her, she was the one who killed grandpa!"

"My dear, you're sorry, Your Majesty. She hasn't had a good rest these days. I'm really sorry. Quick, take Valerie back to rest."

"Your Majesty, it's really her! Ever since she came, grandpa's health has been getting worse day by day. You should know that he wouldn't have retired so early if he hadn't! It was she who took away my grandpa. "

"Miss, calm down, you still have a baby in your belly."

"Let me go. Woohoo, grandpa."

Valerie's voice gradually faded away, and her husband's apology came a little slowly. He obviously knew something about the future with Alicia, but he didn't say much, and just explained to Elizabeth,

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, there is a little problem between them. That child is indeed strange, but it doesn't matter. Your Majesty, please come over here. I will ask the servant to pour you tea."

"No, I have a question. Have any guests been here before?"

"Guest, what kind of guest? This place is protected by the guards you arranged. No one comes in at all."

"Okay. Then let me see Mr. Hailsham. There are too many ceremonies tomorrow. I want to have a few words with Mr. Hailsham alone. Is that okay?"

"Okay, okay, please go this way. Grandpa's coffin is right above. After the doctor comes to confirm the condition, we don't dare to move Grandpa's body. We are waiting for the church and His Majesty's people to come."

Upstairs, Fisher suddenly raised his eyebrows as he listened. The footsteps below slowly walked up the stairs. He quickly put the book in his hand back on Teacher Hailsen's desk and turned his head. , the pretty Alicia, whose face returned to expressionless, was already standing behind her.

She pointed to a side door of the office, and Fisher followed her into it, and soon discovered a hidden magical portal unfolding inside.

The level of this magic portal was obviously not carved by the little girl in front of me. It could only be the work of Teacher Hailsson.

He glanced at Alicia beside him and saw her gently extending her hand towards him. He raised his eyebrows. Before he could speak, Alicia raised her head and said to him,

"Hold hands, big brother."

"The magic has been activated. Teacher Hailsson's teleportation magic is very precise and will not cause turbulence. Don't worry."

Alicia remained motionless, but after a second or two her cheeks puffed up slightly, and then she added in a dull voice,

"Grandpa always held my hand when he was here."

"."

Fisher opened his mouth, and after a moment of pause, he slowly raised his hand and took Alicia's little right hand.

"Yeah?"

"Oh, Fisher, hurry up, I feel she is getting closer, and she is very likely to find us!"

Despite Emhart's urging, Fisher had already led Alicia into the portal, and the magic circle in the side door disappeared instantly. And soon, not only the magic circle, but also the small space outside the magic circle and the side door of the entire office were hidden, taking away all traces of their presence here.

The magic tower is very high. Husband Valerie, who was leading the way, was already out of breath, but Elizabeth behind her still had a calm expression, as if she was just taking a simple walk.

She was dressed in a golden dress. The moment she reached the top, her sharp eyes quickly scanned everything here, like a hawk locking onto the possible prey inside.

But unfortunately, there is nothing on this floor, only the office that Hailsham left behind and the small coffin where he is now.

Elizabeth blinked, a glimmer of light flashed in her empty eyes, then she waved her hand and said to Husband Valerie,

"Go ahead and let me talk to Teacher Hailsham."

"Okay, Your Majesty, if you have any questions, just tell me, I'll be down below."

Elizabeth didn't even look at him, she just walked into this quiet space and looked at the quiet Hailsham in the coffin. Her white fingers seemed to be about to lift up, but were dragged down by a little apology in her heart. Finally, , she could only say,

"Sorry, Teacher Hailsham, I don't want to disturb your sleep and use your last funeral in this world. It's just that I have waited too long. I have been waiting for four and a half years since he left. During this period I have been patient and changing. But in exchange, one after another women have declared their sovereignty to me. Yes, those may be the mistakes he made in the past, and I may have thought so at first. But, Where are the others?"

Haytham is dead, and Elizabeth's beautiful, majestic face, soaked in power, has become particularly cold.

"I even began to suspect that the letter he left me was just a delaying tactic. He had no intention of coming back to marry me, and he had no intention of giving up other women. He was either waiting for me to admit defeat and beg for mercy before time wasted. I humbly accepted the women he was unwilling to part with; or, he had already abandoned me, abandoned everything in his past, and gone to live happily elsewhere.

"And I won't accept either of these possibilities."

At this point, the sharp words in Elizabeth's mouth suddenly restrained. Perhaps she realized that she could not say this in front of Hailsham. After a moment of pause, she changed the subject again and said,

"However, Teacher Hailsson shouldn't want Fisher to abandon everything in the past, right? He will definitely come back, and when he comes back, he will have to face me, because I will not give up on him. So, this time, Mr. Hailsson , at your funeral, if he comes, then maybe I can take a milder approach, at least it means that he has not forgotten you. But if he doesn't even come to your funeral, I will have to take a more extreme approach. method”

"."

Haytham's body didn't reply, but Elizabeth had said all. Now that she has become the Queen, she no longer needs to pretend to be a devout believer of the Mother Goddess all the time and confess her sins in front of the Mother Goddess statue.

But what she did at this moment was not a kind of confession, just like every murderer in Nali who was detained in court. Before committing a crime, they often went to the church to talk to the priest as if they were psychologically comforted.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked to Hailsham's desk out of boredom. In a tacit understanding with Fisher, Elizabeth was almost instantly attracted to the "Comprehensive Theory of Magic" neatly placed on the table. attention.

She slowly reached for the book, as if she wanted to flip through Hailsham's masterpiece at will. However, after all, she was not a student of professional magic, and of course she would not judge the value of this book from an academic perspective.

Therefore, the first thing she opened at this moment was the title page of this book.

She once again saw Hailsham's strong emotion and wisdom when writing this book, saw him missing his lost lover, and saw his expectations for the future of his two granddaughters.

Of course, there is also concern about the only disciple who is in exile.

But Elizabeth saw a little extra content. Her empty eyes flashed slightly, and she keenly discovered a slight wrinkle on the paper.

She raised the book little by little to be parallel to her own eyes. After comparing it again and again, she quickly realized something and her pupils narrowed slightly.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly thought of the discomfort that had filled her eyes when she first entered the magic tower. At that time, her eyes seemed to remind her that someone seemed to be visiting here.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, like a shark smelling blood in the sea, and her empty eyes also lit up with a little excitement and cold light. She rubbed the folds of the page and murmured softly. road,

"You're back, Fisher"

The next second, the page she was looking at suddenly changed strangely according to her unconcealable mood, and turned into cold stone inch by inch for no reason.

"Huh, luckily we ran fast. Fisher, you may really have to think carefully about reconciling with Elizabeth. My 'danger radar' is generally very effective. Well, even last time you were raped by Rafael I thought it was nothing before you led me to see Jasmine, but this time."

Emhart on his shoulder took a long breath and said this. Although Fisher didn't know when he had this "danger radar", he did feel the sense of danger just now, and it wasn't his bluff.

He just looked at the petite little doll in front of him and asked,

"Your name is Alicia?"

At this moment, Fisher, who was taken instantly from the magic tower by the portal to the outskirts of Chittel City, was in a dense forest. The closer he got in this direction, the closer he got to the border of Shivali. Therefore it appears to be inaccessible.

Fisher didn't know what Mr. Hailsson's intention was in carving this teleportation spell for the petite girl in front of him, but looking at her familiar appearance leading the way, he could tell that she had been here many times.

Hearing Fisher's question, Alicia in front nodded. While holding the doll in her arms, she grabbed the branches for support and walked onto the small wooden bridge over the stream, while Fisher next to her He jumped across and reached the other side earlier than she did.

"Well, I heard that my grandfather gave me the name. It sounds nice."

Fisher squinted his eyes and looked at her, nodded and said,

"Yes, 'Ultimate Treasure', this is a very meaningful name."

The pronunciation of Alicia has the same pronunciation as "treasure" in the Narli language. He doesn't know whether this is a wonderful coincidence or whether Teacher Hailsson did it intentionally.

After all, Heller had just said that the child adopted by Hayerson might be related to the clues in the Life Completion Manual. However, when he left Nali a few years ago, Teacher Hayerson actually used the "Ultimate Treasure" to get it for her. name.

This made the image of Mr. Hailsham in Fisher's eyes even more foggy. He just didn't know how Mr. Hailsham, as a human being, could know in advance the secrets that only Hrel's level would understand.

Fisher had already thought about this when Mr. Hailsson developed the double-ringed magic that touched the mythical level. The more he went to learn more about it, the more Mr. Hailsson's position in Fisher's heart became. Unshakable, it has a sense of "your teacher is your teacher".

Hearing what Fisher said, Alicia, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stopped. Fisher looked over and saw that she was hugging some dolls in her arms tightly. He couldn't help but ask,

"What's wrong?"

".Well, it's nothing. We're almost there, big brother."

"Where are you taking me?"

"Where I usually live."

Alicia continued to walk forward, but this answer made Fisher a little confused.

"Don't you live in the Mage Tower?"

"I seemed to live there for a while when I was little, but not after I grew up. My sister didn't seem to like me, so my grandpa built a small wooden house for me here in the suburbs. I can go to see grandpa through the teleportation circle. "

After recalling Valerie's uncontrollable voice just now, he couldn't help but ask,

"Why doesn't your sister like you? Logically speaking, she was already twenty-seven or eighty-years-old when Teacher Hailsham adopted you. She shouldn't be so harsh on you."

"."

Alicia did not reply immediately, because at this moment, she had already brought Fisher and Emhart on his shoulders to a remote place in the forest. Fisher was keenly aware of the presence of magic in front of him, and Alicia also raised the doll in her hand at the next moment.

"Buzz buzz!"

As a wave of world echoes flashed by, a small wooden house suddenly rose from beneath the ground, opening the door to Fisher and the others.

"Big brother, please come in."

When the tree house appeared, Alicia held the doll in her arms obediently and led the guests behind her into the place where she lived every day.

The environment inside is simple but very warm. In addition to the basic daily necessities such as beds and tables, the most abundant items are all kinds of books and cloth dolls. Alicia carefully placed the dolls in her arms before she slept. On the bed, she struggled to squeeze her petite body into the pile of books on the ground. While looking for something, she explained to Fisher the question he just asked.

"My sister says I'm weird, and I also think I'm weird. I often sleepwalk. Whenever I dream, I sleepwalk. When I'm sleepwalking, I often talk to myself, say some strange things, and do some dangerous things. Things. For example, he almost cut off my hand with a knife, and also injured my grandfather’s body.

"But when I dream, I often dream about people and things I have never seen before. Just like you, big brother, I seem to have seen you in my dream. I think you are very familiar, but I I don’t remember it very well, I found it, big brother, this is it.”

Alicia stuck her butt out and searched for a long time in the stack of books, and then finally found a gray notebook deep in the stack. This notebook was already very old, and there was nothing written on the cover. It seemed to be Mr. Hailsham's personal notes.

She walked back to Fisher with the note in hand, put the note in his hand, and continued expressionlessly,

"So, it's actually understandable that my sister doesn't like me. I don't like myself either. Now that my grandpa has passed away because of me, I feel guilty and sad."

Fisher was stunned for a moment after taking the note. Then he frowned and looked at Alicia, who had her head lowered in front of her with some self-blame and asked quickly,

"You said why did Teacher Hailsson leave because of you?"

Alicia remained motionless and just said to herself,

"My dreams and sleepwalking are getting more and more serious. Sometimes I can not only see some scattered memory fragments, but also people and things on another continent. Also, I seem to be able to be with something in my dreams. Speaking, He calls himself "The Usurped Carrier". In the dream, I am not called 'Alicia', but I am called 'Pedestal' by Him.

"He taught me a lot in my dreams, and every time I felt Him in my dreams, I would sleepwalk, hurt my grandpa, hurt my sister, hurt myself. I. I didn't want this at all. Grandpa was like this, because Help me and become weaker and weaker. In the end, woo woo"

The more Alicia spoke, the more moved her flawless face became. Her young soul seemed to be tortured by the concept of "self-blame".

"But, big brother, because I can often hear His voice, so... I understand, big brother, you are looking for something that can help you now. That thing is the so-called [Treasure], right? "

Emhard was completely stunned, but listening to the words of the little girl in front of him, Fisher suddenly felt an extremely ominous premonition in his heart.

"Alicia, you."

"Big brother, actually, I am the 'treasure' you are looking for. He doesn't want me to meet you, and during this time my sleepwalking and dreams are getting more and more serious. I have been restraining myself from sleeping, but still. Let grandpa do it."

Alicia hesitated and suffered, and finally spoke in a childish voice. She begged Fisher,

"So, I have been waiting for you, big brother. I have been waiting for you to come over and eat me, and for you to take the [treasure] you want."
