Luo Xiu was now completely unable to distinguish whether it was a human or a demon.
However, being able to walk on flat ground in this Forest of Illusions suggests that one's strength cannot be weak.
He doesn't have the time or energy to figure this out right now; he's just keeping it in mind.
"Thank goodness, I survived! My prayers must have worked!"
Perhaps because she and Luo Xiu and the others had experienced such crises one after another, Nika became much more talkative than before.
She happily held the necklace in her hand:
"It must be the tree protecting me."
"Is Tree your partner's name, Miss Nika?"
Luo Xiu smiled and spoke.
Upon hearing the word "partner," Nika blushed deeply, becoming unusually shy and bashful.
"I don't think so yet."
After speaking for a few seconds, Nika looked up again, smiling brightly, and said:
"But I like him."
The girl's sincere and passionate expression struck Luo Xiu. Even before he transmigrated, he had rarely heard such a straightforward and enthusiastic confession, especially since he was just a stranger he had only known for a short time.
Either the girl wants everyone to know about it, or... she's been keeping it to herself for too long.
Beautiful things always bring a smile to one's face.
Luo Xiu laughed:
"Please forgive me for accidentally seeing Mr. Tree's portrait in your room, Miss Nika. But judging from his expression, he seems to like you too, Miss Nika."
Hearing this, Nika, who had finally mustered up her courage, blushed again and whispered:
"He is an alchemist, just like me."
"But he's much more talented than me. He's only 18 and he's already been specially recruited by the Alchemy Academy!"
Nika's words were filled with pride, as if she herself were the one who had been specially recruited.
“That’s amazing.”
Luo Xiu spoke up from the side.
"Yes! He's only 18 years old, yet he's already a second-tier alchemist, and he's not far from the third tier."
When talking about her sweetheart, Nika became very talkative, her eyes sparkling as if they were stars:
"We were happy for a long time the day the tree was specially recruited."
“He said he would come to pick me up once he had established himself at the Alchemy Academy. He promised to bring me a big bouquet of bellflowers.”
"Platycodon grandiflorus?"
Luo Xiu blinked.
"Yes, bellflower."
In the dimly lit mushroom house, Nika's eyes seemed to be filled with light:
"Rumor has it that in the innermost part of the central city of Kanriel, there is a huge garden planted with countless lisianthus flowers."
"There is a legend that the reason why no other plants can grow in Kanriel is because all the nutrients in the soil of this area are used to nourish that garden of lisianthus."
"So the bellflowers in that garden are the most beautiful bellflowers in the entire Gran Continent."
"Only those who have made significant contributions to Kanriel or outstanding graduates of the Adventurers' Academy will be rewarded with bellflowers."
"Mr. White, have you ever seen a bellflower?"
When Nika asked him that, Luo Xiu shook his head:
"No, I'm from Bandanda, where bellflowers don't seem to grow."
When Nika heard Luo Xiu say that, her eyes lit up with a little excitement and a touch of girlish smugness:
"Although I grew up in Red Mushroom Town and could only catch a glimpse of the flowers they sold when caravans passed by, I have seen bellflowers."
"Mr. White, you're in for a treat."
As she spoke, Nika placed the necklace in front of Luo Xiu and said with a smile:
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Luo Xiu looked at the necklace. At the end of the necklace was a piece of azure crystal, inside which lay a petal.
Luo Xiu didn't know much about flowers, but he remembered seeing bellflowers in his previous life.
The petals of the bellflower appear to have sharp points.
"This was given to him by Tree's father. He gave it to me before he left. What do you think, Mr. White? Isn't it beautiful?"
Nika laughed.
"Yes, very beautiful."
Luo Xiu smiled.
Perhaps this is what bellflowers in this world look like.
at the same time,
In the distant city of Bandanda.
City Lord's Mansion.
For the past few days, the entire city lord's mansion has been filled with unease.
Count Larry must have been provoked by something.
These past few days, I've become inexplicably furious whenever I hear similar pronunciations to words like "ying," "chang," "li," and "dan."
"Get out! Get out of here!!"
The door to Count Larry's bedroom was opened from the inside, and half of him was thrown out.
A few seconds later, the other half was thrown out as well.
"Find Mo Sang for me!!"
Count Larry's voice was very breathy, with an inexplicable effeminate quality.
"Find me Mo Sang!!!"
Mosan is the head butler of the Earl's mansion.
Chapter 78 Welcome to Kanriel! (3200)
Mozambique has arrived.
He was dressed in a sharp black tuxedo, simple fitted trousers, and a white shirt, his gray hair tied in a small bun at the back of his head.
Although the deep wrinkles around his eyes showed that he was quite old.
But when he made eye contact with anyone in the Earl’s mansion except for Earl Larry, they would instinctively look away.
The old man's eyes seemed to hold a torch that had been burning since time immemorial, a flame that would never go out.
That's also his style of doing things.
They act swiftly and decisively, never dragging their feet.
He had been the household steward since the time of Count Larry's father, Count Harland.
Still now.
This is enough to demonstrate his methods.
It should be noted that after Count Larry took office, he gave all the original core elites of his household a long vacation.
Only Mozambique remained.
"grown ups."
Mosan gently knocked on Count Larry's door.
"come in."
Count Larry, who was inside the room, recognized Mossam's voice.
Mosang strode in, closed the door, and bowed slightly.
"Is there anything I can do for you, sir?"
Larry, lying on the bed, looked up at Mosang.
There were no greetings, no physical inquiries; this man always went straight to the point.
Just like 25 years ago when Larry had just taken office, he asked him for help in stabilizing the situation at home.
Without saying a word, he took decisive action.
That's why Larry trusted him to handle things.
“Mosan, I went to see... the Great Prophet a few days ago.”
Larry's voice trembled slightly when the name of the Great Prophet was mentioned, as if there was some resentment in it:
"The price was high this time, but for the sake of the family, I have no complaints."
"As long as what follows succeeds, they won't be able to bring me down."
“Mosan… I trust you the most, and I know you are the one who cares about the family the most.”
"I don't want anyone else to know what happens next."
Throughout Larry's words, Mosang's gaze remained unchanged:
"Sir, please speak."
Larry reached out and placed a piece of paper and two oddly shaped stones on the bedside table beside him:
"Contact the person on the paper and find a way to give him these two stones."
