"Why don't you ask me? Why can I summon ghosts and gods, know how to swordsmanship, and use magic power?"

Two days later, on the hillside, Zheng Yan was sitting on the ground drinking water, and finally asked first.

"Everyone has secrets." Alicia sat next to Zheng Yan and said softly: "Sometimes not asking is the best choice."

"Then how do you make sure you can trust me?" Zheng Yan took a bite of food and asked funnyly.

"You know." Alicia shook her head and answered Zheng Yan's knowing questions, "If I had discovered these secrets of yours from the beginning, the situation would have been different."

"Hehe." Zheng Yan smiled, "You can believe me, I am no longer Karl, but I am not a bad person."

"You are a good person." Alicia said: "It's just that some of your actions are too extreme for the nuns of the Holy Light Church."

"You sent out the good guy card again." Zheng Yan glared at Alicia.

"Good guy card?" Alicia frowned in confusion.

"That's it..." Zheng Yan thought for a moment and said, "When someone confesses to you, you tell them that you are a good person, and we should still be friends."

"Confession?" Alicia raised her eyebrows in confusion, "I don't understand these strange words of yours."

"Confession means that I like you!" Zheng Yan explained helplessly.

"Ah?" Alicia looked into Zheng Yan's eyes, then a rare blush flashed across her face, and she looked at Zheng Yan blankly, "How could you..."

"Ah..." Zheng Yan let out a long sigh, covered his face and sighed: "Oh, I shouldn't have to explain to you."

So Zheng Yan spent a while to explain clearly to Alicia, and Alicia finally understood.

"You are a good person, that's a good answer." Alicia said with a smile, and then her expression fell silent.

The breeze blew through and ruffled her blond hair. She lowered her head and said: "The Holy Light Church does not clearly stipulate that clergy cannot get married, but it is difficult for people like us to get love, let alone be issued good person cards."

"Then why did you become a nun?" Zheng Yan tried to ask.

"..." Alicia was silent for a long time before replying, "Becoming a nun is not my choice, although I don't hate this profession and this job."

"Forgive me, God of Holy Light."

"There was a famine at that time, and my parents took me to the monastery to ask for limited food aid. They accidentally discovered that I had an affinity with the Holy Light. The chief nun there told my parents that they could keep me as a novice priest, so that I

Then I would not starve to death, and then I was left behind, and I have never seen my parents again."

Although Alicia said it simply, Zheng Yan understood the mixed feelings in her heart, and then Zheng Yan was stunned, "You... you told your secret."

Alicia smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I want to tell you. I feel a lot more relaxed after saying it. There are very few people who can be so close to me."

"..." Zheng Yan looked at Alicia for a while, "Are you afraid that you change places every once in a while, so no one can get close to you?"

"Hmm..." Alicia was stunned, then laughed again, "You usually don't look very smart, but you are actually smarter in these small details."

"I'm just talking casually." Zheng Yan clapped his hands, shook off the food crumbs on his hands, and said, "It's time to set off, we should be there soon."

"I've already told my secret, why don't you tell me some of yours?" Alicia was a little annoyed in her heart, but she remained calm on the outside, "You can see it after you climb over this hillside."

"Want to know my secret?" Zheng Yan was walking forward, then suddenly turned around and said.

"I won't ask." Alicia curled her lips and walked forward.

"Actually, my life is just a blank piece of paper with no story. As for secrets, don't underestimate me. I will become stronger faster than you imagine." Zheng Yan continued.

Alicia said nothing, thinking to herself, "I still haven't told any secrets."

After climbing over the hillside, the surrounding trees were sparse. Zheng Yan looked around and saw a large canyon. The canyon was bare and filled with turbid fog. There were various light spots in the fog, extending all the way to the canyon.

At the end, no breath of life was found.

"Is this the cause of the ore you mentioned?" Zheng Yan was confused, but not surprised. After all, he had seen a lot of hazy weather before traveling.

"Actually, the vegetation here was originally dense, with towering trees. The plants could extend to the land on the other side of the canyon. Then the mineral resources here were discovered. After months of collecting this year, the surrounding vegetation and trees gradually withered. Only later did we know that the little creatures

They fled at the beginning, but the mining workers were always there. After a few years, the workers became weaker and weaker. They aged faster than their peers and died earlier than the elderly. Only then did anyone realize that there was something wrong with the ore. This incident

The matter was a big deal at the top, but few of the mining workers cared about it," Alicia said slowly.

"The life of a worker is like this. Even though you know it's bad for your health, but in order to live and support your family, why don't you continue to do it?" Zheng Yan knew this very well, "What happens next?"

"Then the higher-ups closed the mine and stopped mining on the grounds of protecting the environment. What's funny is that people thought the mine was closed, but unexpectedly it never stopped," Alicia continued.

"Protect... the environment..." Zheng Yan was dumbfounded. Do other worlds also have regulations to protect the environment?

"Yes, protect the environment." Alicia looked at the land on the other side of the canyon, "You have no information in the town and don't understand the situation outside. Protecting the environment has always been a policy that the Speru Empire vigorously promotes in the Morning Light Realm.

You should have some knowledge of the seven areas outside of it. It is called the Cursed Land. The first characteristic is the environment. The environment is not suitable for human habitation. Only the Morning Light Realm has a pleasant environment. Therefore, the Speru Empire cares very much about environmental management, and

Various forces are also willing to support this doctrine."

"Good boy." Zheng Yan exclaimed. He looked in the direction Alicia was looking at and said, "Where is that place over there?"

"That's the land of disaster, a place full of diseases." Alicia said, then walked sideways, planning to enter the canyon.

"A place full of diseases..." Zheng Yan narrowed his eyes, "Does it correspond to the place where the apostle wild boar is?"

Zheng Yan followed Alicia to the side, where there was a faint path leading down.

In the mist, Zheng Yan could vaguely see shadows. There seemed to be carts, and there seemed to be people. It seemed that people were pulling the carts, not animals.

"How could someone be pulling the cart?" Zheng Yan just said it smoothly. The next second he said it, I thought of the reason, but Alicia also answered smoothly.

"I said that the animals ran away at the beginning. Even if those knights beat them with whips to death, the horses would rather die than come close. In the end, they had to rely on human power."

"So you and I should destroy the source of this disaster together."
