After waking up the next day, Shake took Bullu and the others for a walk in the nearby mountains and forests, and came back alone, he remembered to ask Al

"Why did you say yesterday that you couldn't get "Origin of Magic" without me?"

"I met someone who was chasing me, so I used the teleportation gem." Al answered flatly, but Shake was frightened.

"Ah!" He hurriedly checked Al up and down, and he was relieved after confirming that there was no wound. Seeing that Al was close at hand, his curiosity was about to stir.

"Did that gem really teleport you to the Ice and Snow Continent?"

"Yes." Al nodded. Pan Kun did not lie in his last letter. The destination of the gemstone transmission was indeed a desolate ice and snow wasteland.After activating the teleportation gem, he was teleported away in a second, and fell directly into a bottomless ice cave—extremely cold, extremely dark, with no food and no fire source.

"Fortunately, there is a 'lucky black cloak'." Al blinked mischievously rarely, but he was telling the truth. If the ring Shako gave him was not full of necessary daily necessities, he might not even I can't even get out of the ice cave, let alone discover the treasure of Xuelang Lake by accident.

"The items in the ring ensured my food and clothing. Only then did I have the strength to fight against the wolves in Snow Wolf Lake, and then discover the treasure guarded by the wolves. You said..." He laughed

"Is it because of you that I can get "Origin of Magic"?"

Xia Ke laughed happily, it's great to be able to help Al unconsciously

"I'm awesome." He raised his head triumphantly, causing Al to rub his face with his hands.

This time we met, Al really felt the change in Xia Ke. The former Xia Ke was obviously so brave, smart, and kind, but there was always a bit of caution in his eyes.He doubts himself and denies himself. He longs for the approval of others, but he doesn't believe that he is worthy.But now, he is completely different, the timidity in his bones has been washed away, and he has become confident and optimistic.Like a polished gem, he began to emit a light that he had concealed.

Al was both happy and regretful, happy about his transformation, but also regretful that he had not been able to witness it with his own eyes.

Xia Ke didn't know Al's emotion, but asked worriedly and concerned

"Those people found you? Is it safe here? Didn't you say it was found in West Maple City?"

"It's safe in the short term, they don't know this place." Because of the experience of being besieged once, Al entered West Maple City again, hiding in a large caravan's cargo box.And under the cover of night, he went straight to Feng Noah's mansion, and then with the help of Feng Noah, he avoided many eyeliners and left West Maple City.

He didn't tell Von Noahd where he was going, and he chose the opposite direction when he left. He didn't come back quietly until no one saw him anymore.After two months in a row, nothing happened. As long as he doesn't go out, there is a high probability that those people will not be able to find him.

"Hidden spirits linger." Shake scolded angrily, and he soon remembered another thing

"Did you give me more than one gift?" He was a little annoyed

"I was in Fort Feld a few months ago, and I didn't go to Uncle Henry's grocery store. I met a masked man that day and took away a box that was very similar to the pattern of a necklace."

"Mask man?" Al was shocked.

"They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"No, I accidentally knocked off his box, and he was faster than me when I tried to pick it up. I think that box is very similar to the one you sent me later, but he ran so fast that I didn't react come over."

"Fortunately, fortunately, you didn't get it."

"It's really you who sent it?" Xia Ke was shocked. After the surprise, the little flame immediately burst out from the bottom of his heart, and even his hair exploded a few strands.

"Damn, hate, hate, I should have snatched it back immediately. Damn, hate, hate!" He was furious, but Al was very happy.He reached out and pulled Xia Ke into his arms, then looked up and down in fear

"It's a good thing you didn't get it." He emphasized again, but Shake immediately objected

"Where is it good? That is a gift from you, what a pity, I don't even know what's inside?"

"Just a worthless little thing."

"So what? Even if it's just a wild flower, you gave it to me, and no one is allowed to take it away."

Al was amused by his puffy appearance, but he didn't know whether to laugh at his cuteness or his cherishing of his heart.Maybe both.There is no need to delve into it, he only knows that he is very, very happy now.

"If those people can find the grocery store, they may have been ambushing nearby." He thought for a few seconds and asked

"When was that box taken?"

"At the beginning of April, um, on April [-]th, I made an agreement with Uncle Henry that the medicine he ordered would be delivered on the [-]th of every month. I happened to be there three days earlier that time." Xia Ke thought for a while added to

"Uncle Henry said that the box has been in the store for more than two months. It would be great if I found out earlier. Obviously, I will go to Uncle's store several times a month, and sometimes I will stay for a few days."

"Then I'm really glad you missed it." Al felt terrified.

"I sent the first gift in late November last year, and it usually arrives within a month. According to what Mr. Henry said, it is very likely that the box has been robbed by the masked man. They can't find out how to open it. Only then did they deliver it to Shacro’s grocery store as originally planned.”

"They want to sit on the sidelines?"

"Huh? Huh! Almost." Al nodded and hugged Shake tightly.

"It's a good thing you didn't find out, otherwise, I can't imagine what they would do to you."

"Ah, I, I'm okay, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." Al's hand was trembling, even if it was slightly, but because the two of them were close together, Shake felt it very clearly.

"Al is afraid, he is afraid of losing me." This realization made him both happy and touched, but also a little distressed, so he had to hug Al harder and respond to his cherishment.

"I always seem to put you in danger." Al blamed himself

"As they say, I have bad luck."

"Nonsense." Shake interrupted Al viciously, looked up at Al firmly

"In my opinion, meeting you is the best thing." His eyes became gentle, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved

"Since I met you, I have become very lucky. You cleared the mine and let me escape the robbers. You killed the vampire who tricked me, so I not only survived, but also successfully completed the bounty task. Because I met You, I learned magic, I can protect myself, and I can protect them. I also got enough gold coins, so I knocked on the door of Mrs. Cole's courtyard, learned potions, and changed from a low-status freeman to a A qualified junior pharmacist. Al," Shake told him loudly

"So many good things will happen to me, just because I met you. Al, you bring me countless good luck, you are my lucky patron saint."

He was obviously shy because he confessed again yesterday, but once he found Al's uneasiness, Xia Ke would immediately become the bravest fighter. He was enthusiastic and straightforward, and he only wanted to let Al know how good he was.

Al was fascinated by Xia Ke's sweet bomb, he hugged her tightly, rubbed and rubbed cherishingly,

"If the ordeal is the prelude to encounter, I would gladly accept it." If he hadn't fallen into such a desperate situation, he might never have any intersection with Xia Ke again. Thinking of this, he was actually full of subtle gratitude for the terrible experience in the past.

"There's no such thing..." Shake leaned against Al's arms and retorted sullenly

"Even without these things, we will definitely meet." He rubbed Al's chest, sighed softly, and said firmly

"I will, you see, we met a long time ago..."

In the dark, some fates have long been doomed.They look forward to getting acquainted and are therefore grateful for the ordeal.

But the darkness never disappeared, and Al's analysis was correct. Even if Xia Ke found the box only one minute earlier at that time, and even asked one more question after hitting the box, what greeted him would be the end of being imprisoned and tortured.He will be hung in the busiest square in West Maple City and become the bait to lure Al to take the bait.

As luck would have it, Al sent the second gift through an unusual channel.At that time, in order to conceal his whereabouts, under the gaze of von Noahd, he chose the opposite direction.It was a complete accident to meet that team of mercenaries, and their original direction was also opposite to that of Shacro.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, Al sneaked into the tent of the leader of the opponent, put down the box and address, and left enough gold coins for the opponent to change the route.He never showed up, so no one knew he had sent a second gift.

But those people are still looking for Al's trace, but if there is a little clue, it is impossible to let it go.

When the two were talking to each other, dozens of masked people sat around the round table, the dim light of the candles was not enough to illuminate the whole room, and only the silhouettes of the people beside the table could be vaguely seen, accompanied by the shadows from the darkness. There was a gasp, and the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.

"Have you found anyone yet?" One of them asked dissatisfiedly, which angered the other

"Oh, I don't know who came up with the stupid idea to drag Kirkland's house into the water, and a room full of idiots drove the only smart one away."

"If some people are really as powerful as they think they are, they won't be able to block even people."

"That just means it's not the best time yet, I said wait..."

"What are you waiting for? Waiting for your stupid son to gain his trust? It's embarrassing to not see him face to face for several months."

"It's better than pretending to be smart. If you kill the youngest son of the Kenny family, you won't be afraid that the old guy will turn you into ashes if he finds out."

The two voices came and went, arguing fiercely, and the rest of the people just sat, as if they were watching the fun, but they didn't seem to hear it.After a few minutes of quarreling like this, no one was able to gain the upper hand.

"Okay." The deep and old voice carried an irrefutable momentum, and all the masked people subconsciously sat silently, their heads lowered slightly, showing respect and submission.

"There's no need to send anyone to Xia Keluo anymore. Keep an eye on Feng. As long as his curse remains unsolved, he will return to West Maple City one day." He sighed long

"That day is not far away."

"promise!"
