Chapter 14 North
Two days later, Alice and the other two arrived at a small town in the north and got off the bus. Following the address Scar had left before, he walked northwest. After half a day's journey, he finally arrived at a small house where hunters rested in the deep mountains.
"Well, it seems that this is here. Dr. Marco, Zhang Mei, come in and rest." Alice looked at the address given by Scar, compared it with the surroundings, and said confirmingly.
"Well, thank you, Miss Alice." After entering the house and settling the two of them, Alice continued, "You guys should rest here first, I'll go to the previous town to buy some food."
"Sister Alice, I'll go with you." Zhang Mei heard that Alice was going to buy food, so she wanted to go and help.
Alice touched Zhang Mei's head and said, "No, I'll go by myself. Dr. Marco's injury has not been cured yet. You have to take good care of him."
"Be careful on the way?" Zhang Mei nodded and said.
After leaving, Alice confirmed whether there was any mistake in her disguise. It seemed that there was no problem, so she quickly ran to the town before entering the mountain. She soon arrived at this small village. After buying a lot of food that is conducive to preservation, she was about to return when Alice found that she was being followed.
After wandering around the village and confirming that she was indeed being followed, Alice turned around and walked out of the village and came to a deserted place. Alice turned around and said, "I have been following me for so long, so it's time to come out, right?"
The other party was silent for a while, and four people walked out. Seeing that the clothes were probably from the villagers in the village before, a leader said, "Oh, the beautiful lady is very alert, but it is very dangerous to buy so many things by herself."
"Oh, then do you mean you want to get something for me?" Alice said lightly.
The leading villager touched his head and said with a smile: "Of course we really want to help you, but we are not interested in the free coolies."
"So that's it. How much do you want? Please give me a count."
"Oh, Miss is such a wise man. We only need to have more or less." The leader smiled and stretched out a finger.
"What does a finger mean? I've said that I'll give you a number. I don't like guessing riddles." Alice said with her eyes narrowed.
"Yes, yes, no more than one million. I hope the lady can give us one million. We guarantee that you are safe and sound. Otherwise, I will... Huh!" Before he finished speaking, a bundle of banknotes was thrown over by Alice. The villagers caught it in a panic and quickly clicked it. They found that the numbers were accurate, and they laughed and collected the money: "Thank you, thank you, beautiful lady, you will live a hundred years old." After saying that, four people waved their hands and ran back to the village quickly.
Alice shook her head and confirmed that there was no one nearby following her. She went around in a circle and returned to the place where Scar collected books, and began to wait for Scar to arrive. When she was free, Alice began to ask Marco for questions about alchemy.
Dr. Marco was very surprised when Alice asked for Alchemy: "Miss Alchemy, aren't you a student of Alchemist of Steel? It seems that it's not good to ask me directly."
"Sister Alice!" Zhang Mei shouted in horror as she looked at Alice who suddenly fell down.
However, Alice could no longer hear their shouts at this time.
