The sky had darkened, and Lin Lei continued to drink slowly. Alice's figure still hadn't appeared, and the people in the tavern were also becoming fewer and farther between. However, Beibei next to him was getting more and more excited from drinking, which was something Lin Lei wouldn't normally allow it to do; this time it drank with abandon.

  "Sir, we're closing here." The tavern waiter walked up to Lin Lei and said respectfully.

  "Lockdown?" Lin Lei was taken aback.

  "Oh, how much money." Lin Lei stood up, but felt a bit dizzy.

  He has drunk six bottles of emerald green liquor, fortunately Lin Lei's physique is good and can withstand it, if it were an ordinary person, he would have fallen down long ago. Beibei next to him drank the most exaggeratedly, drinking a total of twelve bottles.

  After paying the bill, Lin Lei walked out of the tavern. It was already late at night and there were hardly any people on the deserted street.

  "This is Alice's first time being late." Lin Lei let out a long sigh.

  Lin Lei turned around and took a glance at the two-story small building in the dark night, then he turned his head and walked directly towards 'Bishui Tian Tang' on Champs-élysées.

  Paradise of Blue Water

  "Lao San is probably with his girlfriend again." Yale, Reno and George were chatting and drinking.

  "Hey, Yale, you said Lin Lei is still a virgin?" Reno asked with a smile.

  Yale wrinkled his nose and said confidently, "Needless to say, just look at Lin Lei, 100% virgin. Ah, Old Fourth, let's go take a break." As he spoke, Yale put his arm around a beautiful woman and walked out, while Reno did the same with another woman.

  "Ouch."

  The door suddenly opened.

  Yale and Reno looked up in surprise, Yale couldn't help but exclaim: "Old Three, how did you come back?"

  "Nothing much, come on, Yale eldest, fourth, second, you guys come and keep me company for a drink." Lin Lei's voice was somewhat low.

  Yale, Reno, and George looked at each other, Yale burst out laughing: "Alright, it's rare for Old Three to be so generous, today the brothers will accompany you in a good drink." Yale, Reno, and George all sat down and started drinking with Lin Lei.

  The next day, Lin Lei went to Alice's house again, but Alice still hadn't returned.

  ******

  Ernst Magic Academy

  "Is Alice really angry?" Lin Lei walked on the campus street, his mood wasn't great either.

  Lin Lei glanced casually and saw a store inside the academy, with papers about various magical tools posted on the door. Lin Lei's gaze suddenly focused on a crystal ball, and he recalled what Aries had said to him: "Brother Lin Lei, we are separated by distance, every time I see other boys and girls together in the academy, I think of you, but it's hard for us to meet. Sigh, if only we could be together all the time, that would be great."

  Lin Lei's heart skipped a beat.

  He walked directly into the store and said to the salesperson: "How much is this memory crystal ball?"

  "800 gold coins." The salesperson's eyes lit up, as the memory crystal ball was a luxury item. "Our memory crystal balls are extremely effective, and we even specially invited an eighth-level water magic master from the academy to refine them."

  Lin Lei was very clear about the principle of the crystal ball memory.

  The water system magic 'Floating Shadow Technique' is attached to this crystal ball through alchemy. When the time comes, just input a little magical power, and the memory crystal ball can be started to automatically record a segment of scenery. After recording until saturation is complete, when the memory crystal ball is restarted again, it will repeatedly play back the recorded video.

  After haggling, Lin Lei spent 1,200 gold coins to buy two Memory Crystal Balls.

  "One crystal ball recorded some scenes of me in the academy, and another crystal ball I let Alice record herself. Later, even if I couldn't see Alice, I could still look at the memory crystal ball." Lin Lei looked at the two memory crystal balls in his hand, a faint smile on his face.

  ……

  In the dormitory, stone carving, in the back mountain practicing, in the classroom listening to classes... Lin Lei recorded them all segment by segment until they were completely saturated and could no longer be recorded. However, when Lin Lei excitedly brought two crystal balls to Fen Lai City in mid-October, he found that... Alice still hadn't returned.

  October 29th.

  The four brothers set out together once again towards Finlay City. In Finlay City, Lin Lei parted ways with his good brother once more.

  Yale, Reno and George watched Lin Lei leave, their expressions all somewhat solemn.

  "Having been with Lao San for seven years, Lao San is a genius in both magic and 'stone carving skills', but it's clear that he attaches great importance to his feelings with that Alice. This time if he loses her, the blow to Lao San will probably be huge." Yale said with a frown.

  Renault also nodded and said: "I have a feeling that Alice has not appeared for two or three times, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

  "It's not a bad thing to have a failed romance." Yale laughed, "If a man doesn't experience a few failed romances, how can he mature? I always feel that the third brother is too spoiled by that Alice. If it were me, damn it, if a woman goes overboard, I'd just dump her directly."

  George smiled and said: "Yale, to be honest, I still appreciate the old three. Your point of view is really too..." As he spoke, George shook his head.

  "I rather admire Yale's old man," said Reno, raising an eyebrow.

  "Cut the crap, let's go, we're going to Bishui Paradise."

  Yale, Reno and George went straight to the Azure Water Paradise. When they were halfway there, Reno quietly pulled Yale and George: "Yale, George, wait a minute, look over there, who is it?"

  Yale and George also turned their heads in the direction that Reno was pointing, and as soon as they did, Yale and George's faces changed.
