Chapter 137 Return to Alice
Chapter 137 Return to Alice
Seeing the astonished Catherine, Liu Chi explained it again.
"This is my spiritual world, not a dream!"
After hearing Liu Chi's explanation, Catherine was half-believing and half-doubting. It was true that she was being controlled, but this was not the real world.
"How can you prove it to me?"
Seeing that Catherine still didn't believe it, Liu Chi didn't continue to explain, but sat down and continued to design guns.
This time, Liu Chi designed the king of close-range weapons - the shotgun. After gaining experience in making pistols, Liu Chi made further technical innovations for the shotgun.
Seeing that Liu Chi ignored her, Catherine was sulking alone. But Millia walked up to her and gave Catherine a comprehensive observation.
As she became more and more annoyed, Catherine had no choice but to speak obediently to Liu Chi, who had his back to her.
"I believe what my husband said. He is the best to me! Can you let me go?"
However, Catherine did not wait for Liu Chi to let her go, but floated out of the hut in surprise.
Just as Catherine was sent out of the hut, the hut closed by itself with a bang.
Catherine, who was about to swear, found that she could move. She looked at the closed door and said, "Who cares?"
Then Catherine's attention was attracted by the luxurious palace-like building next to it. Compared with the small hut, there was a world of difference.
"She's not a familiar, is she? How did she get into the spiritual sea?"
Milia tilted her head, almost touching Liu Chi's head.
Liu Chi was writing furiously. He had figured out the problem the first time he saw Catherine.
"Exchange blood!"
Milia frowned and thought about it carefully. It seemed that - no, that's it!
"Don't worry about her?"
"Need not!"
Liu Chi actually laughed.
The gun design in front of him was basically complete. As soon as he thought about it, a shotgun similar to a double-barreled shotgun appeared in his hand.
Holding the gun in his hand, Liu Chi played with it while adjusting the parameters. After a while, he finalized the product.
Without having time to think too much, Liu Chi quickly started designing his next weapon.
Have you heard of "spear sword"? Liu Chi's next goal is to integrate the gun into the sword, and combine it with combat skills to catch the enemy off guard.
When Catherine entered Zhu Xiu's library, she was shocked by the decoration style she had never seen before. After she calmed down, she reached out and picked up a book from the bookshelf.
After seeing the words on the cover clearly, Catherine felt a chill all over her body.
The name of "Little Town Ghost Stories" was still too scary, but Catherine still tentatively opened the first page.
Congratulations! You've been selected for the first ghost story!
Below this passage is an abstract painting of a human face, which makes people who see it naturally put themselves into the picture.
Catherine swallowed and turned to the second page with trembling hands.
In reality, it was just dawn and Karina, who had been searching for her sister all night in vain, returned to the hotel.
After knocking on the door several times, Yang Xi woke up from the bed and confirmed that it was Karina by the knocking sound.
The last glimmer of hope is that Catherine will come back herself.
Karina looked into the room, and when she saw a familiar figure, her tense nerves immediately relaxed and she smiled subconsciously.
Karina walked straight to the bed as soon as she entered the room. Liu Xueer and Chris's glasses were so sore that they couldn't open them, so they could only squint and look at Karina.
"Hey! Catherine!"
Seeing that Katherine did not wake up like the others, Karina pushed Katherine's body.
"Don't disturb them, they are seriously injured, let them rest!"
From Karina's point of view, Liu Chi and Catherine looked like they were sleeping normally. Except for their pale complexion, there were no signs of serious injuries.
"So they were sent back by someone?"
Karina expressed her doubts.
Yang Xi nodded, but did not say that it was Milia who sent it back to the two of them.
That makes sense! Karina's expression became tense again, and she sat down on the sofa in the room.
It seems that something really happened to Liro last night, otherwise such a powerful aura would not have appeared. Karina thought to herself and an idea came to her mind.
The punishment for using the forbidden spell has come. In order to avoid large-scale shark attacks on the continent, a series of rules have been formulated. This is also the reason why I gave up the throne.
Today, neither Catherine nor Liu Chi woke up, and they have been in the spiritual sea for almost a month.
Liu Chi simply couldn't wake up, and Catherine didn't want to wake up. There were only herself and Liu Chi here, and Catherine simply chose to ignore Millia.
In Catherine's opinion, just based on Liu Chi's attitude towards her daughter, she knew that this girl posed no threat to her at all.
Having stayed in the spiritual sea for nearly fifty days, Liu Chi was looking forward to waking up when he thought that today was the day agreed upon for the handover with Alice Chamber of Commerce.
Hard work pays off. After being in a coma for a day and a night, at around seven in the morning, Liu Chi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
As if they had telepathic connection, after seeing Yang Xi's little face, Yang Xi also opened his eyes.
"Master! You finally woke up!"
At this time, except Karina, everyone else was in the room. After hearing Yang Xi's words, they woke up from their sleep one by one as if they had suddenly taken stimulants.
Just wanting to raise his arm, he felt a pain in the right half of his body. Liu Chi clenched his teeth and half-sat up while enduring the pain.
"Master, you take a rest first, I'll get you breakfast!"
Yang Xi stood up and prepared to get out of bed, but was pulled back by Liu Chi.
She was stunned for just a moment, then lay obediently on her side in Liu Chi's arms.
"Thanks a lot."
Liu Chi stroked Yang Xi's little head, his tone full of tenderness.
After a moment, Liu Chi moved his body with all his strength and got down from the window. He saw that the pajamas he was wearing were Catherine's. He didn't say much, but simply walked to the cloakroom in the room, took out the clothes in the space ring and put them on himself.
"wait me back!"
These are what Liu Chi told everyone before he left.
With Liu Chi's departure, Catherine in her spiritual sea could not find a way to return to reality as her real body was not around. She developed a fear of this deserted world, which came from the horror novel "And Then There Were None" in Zhu Xiu Library.
Fortunately, Millia was with her, otherwise Catherine would have gone crazy.
After leaving the hotel, Liu Chi took out the food and water from the space ring and had a few simple bites.
When we got to the square, we hailed a carriage.
"Master, go to Alice Chamber of Commerce!"
"Okay! You're ready!"
After arriving at Alice's headquarters, Liu Chi went straight to the third floor, and the man seemed to have been waiting for a long time. After hearing the noise and seeing Liu Chi coming, he stood up from the sofa.
"Baron Zach! Welcome to our meeting again!"
Liu Chi sat on the sofa opposite the man, just like last time.
"How's it going? Did Alice's top leader agree to meet with me?"
"Can't you give in?"
"No, I want to see Alice's sincerity. Even if I rely on myself, it won't be difficult to get the seven keys."
Seeing Liu Chi's firm attitude, the man knew that the first plan to discuss in the meeting would not work, so he changed his words.
"In fact, our top leader also wants to meet you, but you need to prove that you are worthy of our trust."
"why?"
"Because no one has ever seen the leader behind Alice, including me, so you have to prove your strength."
Liu Chi did not agree immediately. After analyzing the situation, he asked, "Then how can I prove myself?"
"If you want to catch up with the auction in two months, our messenger will notify all branches within a month. Taking into account the time others spend on the road, you only have a week at most."
"You know, our Chamber of Commerce is engaged in business. You only need to provide three items of sufficient value, and we will transfer the proceeds from the auction to you after deducting the handling fee."
Three lots? Isn't that simple? Liu Chi immediately took out a magic beast crystal core from his space ring.
"Is this ok?"
The man looked at the red crystal core in confusion, and immediately recognized that it was a crystal core of a demon beast below the quasi-saint level.
"Haha~ This little thing is fine as an ordinary auction item, but if you really want it, it's still not presentable enough."
Liu Chi understood that there was a fixed purchase price for crystal cores of this level in the market, and there was no situation where there was a price but no demand. If it were really put up for auction, it would not fetch any price.
"If it is a Saint-level crystal core, we will definitely be able to accept it."
"Only a week?"
Liu Chi asked,
"Only one week."
"Can you give me half a month?"
Liu Chi thought that even if he tried to refine the weapons in a week, he couldn't make three. If he could change it to half a month, his chances would be greater.
"Half a month? Do you mean to postpone the auction?"
"No, if possible, I hope you can re-set sail for the Black Pearl on the day of the auction, travel around the continent and come back!"
The man's face twitched unconsciously. You know what Alice's Black Pearl means? The items prepared for auction are all rare treasures.
"You should know that the Black Pearl has already set sail once eleven years ago. We are looking forward to setting sail again, but in the past ten years, we have not had anything to offer."
The man's words silenced Liu Chi. It was as if the leader behind Alice had deliberately given him a difficult question. If you want to see me, you have to prove that you have the ability first.
Just like some circles, although they are bad, the threshold is not low.
"Then give me a month. I will provide an item worthy of the Black Pearl setting sail again. The original auction date is December 31st, right?"
"I want the voice of the Black Pearl to ring out in the port of Lilo!"
The man looked at Liu Chi and thought he was crazy, so he might as well just give the key to Alice.
Alice is not a man who says that behind her back. In order to prepare for the New Year's Eve auction, Alice started sending messengers to notify various branches a few days ago.
The auction will be held in Liro, and proof of assets or identity will be required for entry.
At this time, Liu Chi's purpose was not only to get the Seven Star Key. He also wanted to meet the leader behind Alice and find out who was the person who could "take charge" of the entire continent in terms of finance.
Hot knowledge: except for the secluded families and some royal families, everyone else on the continent regards Alice Chamber of Commerce as the bank of choice.
