Alice and Her Royal Highness the Princess said in unison: "One more piece."

In addition to the delicious grilled fish, Karl also dug out three round fruits from the snow next to the igloo.

The outer skin of the fruit is green and light green. Use a knife to cut the peel. The inside of the fruit is full of natural juice, with tiny black seeds floating in the juice.

It tastes sweet and sour. The seeds in the juice are very crisp and will emit a refreshing aroma after being bitten.

Carl told Alice that this fruit is called wawa fruit.

The boy held the cut wawa fruit with one hand and tapped the shell of the fruit gently with the other hand. The fruit suddenly trembled silently and made a wah wah sound, which was very interesting.

All three of us enjoyed this dinner.

Carl gave up the bed in the igloo to Her Royal Highness the Princess and Alice.

Because of the differences between men and women, Carl did not want to sleep with two distinguished guests in the same igloo.

Carl took an animal skin from the igloo, explained his thoughts to Alice and the two, then left the igloo and went to stay in the small igloo next door to the owl Abai.

Only Alice and Her Royal Highness were left in the room.

Alice proposed that she sleep on the animal skin under the bed and give up the bed to Princess Sharon. But the other party refused.

"You are my savior, how can you let your savior sleep under the bed? Do you think I will feel at ease?" The princess sat cross-legged on the bed, straightened her back, and asked seriously.

"You are a princess. I am an intruder, how can I sleep on the bed?"

Alice leaned against the wall of the igloo, with the animal skins padding her back. Not only was she not cold, but she was soft and warm. She gasped and said, "If the king knew about this, would he be so angry that his beard would fall off?"

"puff."

The princess covered her mouth with one hand and couldn't hold back her laughter.

"You are really courageous. You dare to say such things in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I want to return to the palace one day and take what you said as a gift to my father?"

"It doesn't matter. Your Highness the Princess can say whatever she wants." Alice shrugged, "The king has so many things to deal with every day, so why should he care about what a little kid like me says about him?"

What's more, Alice is now an intruder into the Haoxue Kingdom.

Everyone who deserves to be offended has been offended. No matter what she says, even if she says all the good things in the world - if the king knows that she has sneaked into the country, he will definitely not let her go.

"Would you like to come up and sleep with me?" The princess invited again, "I won't be able to sleep if you're down there."

Seeing the princess' serious expression, Alice felt helpless, but she was not used to sleeping with strangers.

If you accidentally kick Her Royal Highness out of bed while sleeping... that's no joke.

Alice was thinking this in her mind, and opened her mouth and yawned loudly again. She was sleepy and tired, and every joint in her body was sore and weak, and she just wanted to fall asleep.

"Hey, do you want me to carry you up, or do you want to come up by yourself?" Looking at the sleepy little wizard who could only yawn, Her Royal Highness the Princess became unhappy.

"Don't you have trouble sleeping on your own? Don't be too willful when you're away from home... We haven't gotten to know each other well enough to sleep in the same bed."

Alice squinted her eyes and looked up at the girl sitting on the bed. The golden hair on her head was drooping weakly, and her tone was full of helplessness.

Her Royal Highness the Princess put one hand on her hips and pointed the other hand at the little blond wizard under the bed, "Then you agree to my request and go find your friends together, and I won't pester you. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep, and you won't be able to sleep either.

sleepy."

Every word in these words is full of willfulness.

"Okay, I promise you..." Covering her mouth and continuing to breathe, Alice felt too sleepy and nodded.

Seeing that her goal was achieved, Her Royal Highness finally had a smile on her face. She quickly lay down, covered her body with an animal skin, stretched out her hand and waved to the little wizard:

"Good night, Alice~"

Facing Sharon who closed her eyes and was about to sleep, Alice was a little bit dumbfounded.

Lying on the animal skin, Alice thought of Willett, whose whereabouts were still unknown, and Hutch Roland, who disappeared in the Red Nether Demon Realm...

Her eyes were slightly red, and longing and sadness swept through her heart. The exhaustion of her body gradually made her consciousness become blurred, and she fell into a deep dreamless sleep without realizing it.

Beautiful auroras flow in the night sky, time passes, and the sun slowly rises from the deep blue sea with floating ice floes.

The next day came.

Alice left a few magic gold coins in the igloo, drank a bowl of hot fruit porridge, ate some semolina bread, and said goodbye to the young Carl.

Together with Princess Sharon, she set foot on the road to the town.

According to Sharon, this place is not far from the capital of the kingdom.

Based on Princess Sharon's suggestion, Alice bought a medium-priced magic robe from a remote store. This robe could hide her magic power fluctuations and had a certain protective effect against the cold.

She also bought two magic masks at the other party's request. Alice wore a black cat mask and Sharon wore a white rabbit mask.

The mask is painted with mysterious golden patterns, which is very exotic.

At first, Alice was worried that wearing such a ostentatious mask would attract more attention.

It wasn't until she and Her Royal Highness the Princess walked to the busier streets that they noticed that everyone, regardless of gender, old or young, was generally wearing magic masks.

This approach made Alice feel a little puzzled. Don't people in the Haoxue Kingdom like to reveal their faces to others?

Princess Sharon gave a reasonable explanation for this:

"Although the Haoxue Kingdom is not known to the magical world, it is a very tolerant country. Beings with special identities such as monsters, spirits, dragon slayers, dreamers, and elves can all be found in the kingdom.

Walking on the streets.”

Her Royal Highness the Princess and Alice walked side by side, and the two of them walked not very fast.

Alice's eyes swept across the people wearing masks on the road... It turned out that these people were probably not human beings, but beings from other worlds.

Alice thought of someone.

As a young demon boy, Bivis cannot enter the magic academy like others because of his special identity, so he can only hide his identity and study in the academy.

You still have to take the risk of being discovered, and always be careful not to reveal your identity as a demon clan...

It must have been a very hard life.

If he could live in the Haoxue Kingdom without discrimination and hatred, he would be very happy, right? Alice thought silently.

The masked passerby noticed her gaze and not only did not show any disgust, but also raised his hand to actively greet Alice.

Very friendly looking.

When Alice raised her hand to say hello, Her Royal Highness the Princess continued to explain in a low voice:

"In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts and to facilitate the lives of special professions and other races, everyone began to wear masks."

Princess Sharon pointed to the magic mask she was wearing. The eyes behind the mask were shining with crystal luster.

"Later, masks also became popular in our country. There are more and more types of masks, and mask beauty contests are held regularly every year in the capital."

Having said this, she paused slightly and turned to look at a magic shop with a mask logo on the roadside.

"A new profession was born. This profession is responsible for designing and making masks. They are called 'mask masters'. In the Haoxue Kingdom, they are revered and respected by all citizens."

Alice probably knows why maskers are respected by people...

Because in the Haoxue Kingdom, masks are used to hide identities and avoid conflicts between different races and professions.

The mask became a symbol of maintaining peace in the kingdom.

Wearing a mask and a magic robe that hides the fluctuations of magic power, even if the dragon clan and the dragon slayer meet on the same street, there will be no conflict.

But there will be exceptions.

For example, very powerful masters can detect fluctuations in magic power that ordinary people cannot detect.

Therefore, in order to ensure that there would be no problems, Alice and Her Royal Highness the Princess bypassed the busiest city centers and walked in edge areas with less traffic.

After walking for about ten minutes, Princess Sharon, who was responsible for leading the way, stopped at a mysterious-looking shop.

Why is this store said to be mysterious?

The black sign hanging above the store was empty, with nothing written on it. Several cute poodles stayed on both sides of the door, motionless. If she hadn't blinked occasionally, Alice would have regarded them as toy dolls.

The door of the magic shop was open, but no customers came.

Looking into the room from the outside, only a statue of a seated figure can be seen.

Because of its age, the statue's face and clothes have suffered a certain degree of wear and tear.

Blurred facial features, missing arms, smashed legs... exudes a strange and mysterious aura.

The statue was also dragging a wooden board in its hand. The writing on the template was twisted and crooked. Alice barely recognized the words on it:

Welcome.

Is this really a store? Or was it no longer under management a long time ago, which is why it looks so old and rundown?

wrong.

Alice quickly rejected her idea.

If the poodle next to the door is the pet of this store, then the owner of the store should still be there. Otherwise, there is no need for the poodle to continue to stay here.

"Finally found it." Her Royal Highness the Princess breathed a sigh of relief, "The owner of this shop will definitely help us find your friend."

After saying this, Sharon took the initiative to hold Alice's hand, stepped up the steps, and walked towards the store that exuded a mysterious atmosphere.
