Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 1007: The Sixty-Eighth Palm Is It Our Sister?
The old world, Eden...

After witnessing the magnificent, beautiful and incredible world on the screen and hearing Tiantis and Alice shouting its name in unison, everyone could not describe their feelings in words. They were confused and at a loss. A lot of information came like a tide, rushing into their minds, but were all these information true? Didn't they go against common sense? Even if they were true, could they accept it so easily?
Saint Shallia's heart was pounding. She hadn't felt this way for a long time. The last time was at the funeral of the old Moria wizard, who baptized her with blood and taught her the secrets of Moria witchcraft, and also helped the girl unlock the key to her destiny. Since then, Saint Shallia firmly believed that she could find her lost sisters and wake up her sleeping mother, because even if she had lost her memory and knew nothing, destiny would always put everything back on track.

But compared to the constant beating in her chest, the girl's mind was too calm, so her silence was not because she was speechless due to the sudden news, but because she was recalling her dreams over the past countless years. Bai Ye once said that dreams are the echo of the heart and the memory of the soul. The human soul is unchanging, so the memory of the previous life and even the previous previous life can be traced back from dreams. She vaguely remembered that on a sunny afternoon, she was standing on a green hillside and talking to someone very familiar but she couldn't remember the face. The other person told her -

I am also the Maiden King, your sister.

However, this is not the girl’s royal power in this world.

In an instant, it was like a flash of lightning piercing the darkness, and all memories would return like trade winds or tides. Saint Xia Liya slowly loosened her hand on Metien's shoulder. The pink-haired little girl looked up in confusion, but saw that the face of her beloved sister Xiao Xia had an unprecedented serious expression. She looked directly at the world called Eden on the screen, and said slowly, firmly and unquestionably: "You and Alice, are both the girl kings of the old world?"

She did not look away, and did not even glance at this side from beginning to end, but Tiantis knew that she was asking him. At this moment, Miss Reality Witch felt an extremely familiar temperament, or aura, from the girl with blue hair, as if the Saint Her Majesty who led the believers of the Goddess of Creation to fight against the association was standing in front of her again. She once said that no matter what the reason, life should not be trampled on wantonly, because it goes against the original intention of the mother.

But what was her mother's original intention? From the perspective of understanding, care and awareness, Tiandis was her predecessor. So until now, her answer would not change at all: "Yes."

She nodded gently and answered Saint Shallia's question word by word with great seriousness: "Alice and I are the first two young royal powers created by Mother."

Therefore, the confrontation between fantasy and reality occurs long before the balance between order and chaos.

"Genesis archive record, stage ten, which is also the last record of the archive—"

Themis of the heavens spoke in a cold tone, followed by the voice of Tiantis: "In order to protect and guide the civilization of the world of Eden, the goddess split the two laws of fantasy and reality from the concepts she mastered, and gave them to the two purest souls in the world, making the soul that controls the law of fantasy the guide and agent of civilization, and the soul that controls the law of reality the guardian and arbitrator of the world. Because these two souls were conceived in the form of girls, they are called the Girl Kingship; afterwards, He created a third soul that can control the Temple of Heaven on His behalf and observe the universe and all things from the most neutral perspective. It is responsible for assisting and coordinating the missions of the two Girl Kingships and is an observer of the present world, the fantasy world, and the afterlife."

The guide and agent of civilization is the fantasy monarchy Alice; the guardian and arbitrator of the world is the reality monarchy Tiantis.

The observer of this world, the world of illusion and the afterlife is the silver-haired girl in front of everyone, Themis from the heaven.

But at that time, she didn't have this name.

When she was first born, her name was——

skyline.

……

The afternoon in late summer was filled with a dry breath. Cicadas were chirping non-stop on the trees along the roadside. The sunlight pouring in through the glass curtain wall was golden. The cold air from the air conditioner made it not so hot anymore. Instead, it made people feel very warm. Even their bones were sunburned and they wanted to take a nap in the bright sunshine and cool breeze.

Maybe the residents of this city all think so, so the streets are empty, without even a shadow of pedestrians, which makes it look lonely. In the home appliance exhibition area of ​​the largest Carrefour store in the city, a black-haired girl wearing a hoodie and denim shorts is holding a popsicle in one hand and crunching it in her mouth, while with the other hand she grabs the remote control next to her and presses a few buttons on the densely packed black screen hanging on the wall.

A burst of garbled characters flashed on the dark screen, and then it returned to normal and began to play the real-time recorded images. However, what might surprise the people on Earth is that what was played on these screens was neither a TV program nor an animated movie, but a scene that was extremely real but mixed with a touch of fantasy: a torrent of heavy cavalry in armor rushed across the plains, as unstoppable as the tide; winged people worked hard on the island in the sky, gradually building the prototype of a city; handsome but pale vampires and rough and beast-like werewolves sat at the same round table and had a serious meeting...

In the world of Earth, this is something that is simply impossible to happen. If the picture was not too realistic, some people might mistakenly think that this was a promotion for a new game by a gaming company. After all, they would only see similar scenes in fantasy works.

However, this is Eden.

This is a world where fantasy becomes reality thanks to the mighty power of the Goddess.

To the people on Earth, the fantasy was magnificent and romantic, but to this black-haired girl, it was just a common thing. She even felt bored because she had seen it so many times, which could be seen from the bored expression on her face.

However, no matter how boring it is, we still have to do the work.

"Crack!"

The girl bit the popsicle into pieces, letting the coolness rush to her brain, slightly stimulating her head that was a little drunk from the sun. Then she looked at the picture on the screen and whispered to herself, "The war between the Libein Empire and the Yingergon Kingdom is still going on, and has affected many small countries on the Xingladar Plain. The two sides have been fighting for three years, but there is still no winner. The reason is just a quarrel. It's really stupid. If we don't find an opportunity to coordinate them, I'm afraid they will continue to fight. The Feather Elves were defeated by the coalition of the Dust Elves and the Mirror Elves, lost most of their territory on land, and had to retreat to the floating islands. In order to prevent the coalition's counterattack, they are also stepping up the construction of the Sky City defense line on the border. It's so time-consuming and time-consuming. The plan of the Feather Tribe King Court was actually approved by the Council. Do they want to pile up the lives of one million ordinary people to protect their own wealth and glory? How shameful; the blood elves and the werewolves, a branch of the beast elves, signed an agreement at the negotiation table. Both sides promised to put aside their racial feuds for the time being and jointly resist the invasion of dragons. If the war situation is unfavorable, they even want to invite the giants to form an alliance, even though both sides have suffered great losses at the hands of giants. It is really a ridiculous political compromise; including dragons. I remember that my mother said that dragons should be a noble, proud and dignified race, but now they are not satisfied with the territory allocated to them and actively choose to invade. It can be seen that they are not noble at all. "

She casually threw the popsicle back, and it drew a beautiful parabola in the air before accurately falling into the trash can in the corner. Then, the black-haired girl stretched her arms, stretched hard, and exhaled deeply, as if she had let out all the worries and depression in her chest, muttering: "War, war, always war! The land area of ​​Eden Continent is enough even if they reproduce for another 10,000 years, why do they always start wars for some boring reasons? Did Mother let them be born into this world just to play a war game? Why can't they do more meaningful things for civilization? And Alice, it's clearly her duty to guide and interfere with mortal civilization, but she is always so playful and slips away without paying attention. I have to help look after her, so that Mother won't be angry when she finds out. Why can't she think about me..."

While she was still nagging, a golden head with a signature aho-god hair poked out from behind a pillar not far away, and then quickly retreated. The black-haired girl had sharp eyes and spotted the person hiding at a glance, and immediately shouted, "Alice, what are you doing hiding there? Come out now!"

"You're mistaken. I'm not Alice." A panicked voice came from behind the pillar: "Actually, uh! Actually, I'm the vending robot of this mall. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Haha." Tiantis sneered: "Then please give me a copy of the Pokémon game that Nintendo just released."

"What! A new Pokémon game?" The figure immediately jumped out from behind the pillar and rushed out without stopping: "My mother never told me about this. I have to go ask her!" "Don't ask, I lied to you."

"Eh?"

Alice's steps froze, and she turned around stiffly, and saw a malicious smile on Tiantis's face: "A vending robot, right? If you are a vending robot, then what am I? And what is a mother? Do you want to explain, dear Miss Alice?"

"Uh, that..."

"Why, have you figured out how to argue?"

"No, I just want to ask, can you please stop hitting my head? It hurts..."

"I'll go to you!"

……

Ten minutes later, the two girls were walking one after the other on the empty street, Tiantis in front and Alice behind. The sunlight shining through the gaps between the tall buildings made their shadows very long. Seeing this, Alice became playful and quietly stepped on Tiantis's shadow like a child.

Tiantis noticed it but pretended not to notice it. He just asked her, "Where did you go to play games today? The arcade in the city center? The game museum on the 98th floor? Or the headquarters of a game company? Did you sneak to Earth to play games?"

"No way." Alice defended herself: "The Sky Bridge has always been under my mother's surveillance. How could I sneak over there?"

He did not make any excuses for going out to play games.

Tiandis's mouth twitched. "You should at least pay attention to your status. You are the young queen, shouldering the important responsibilities given by our mother. It's ok for you not to perform your duties, but you always go to play games. Be careful that our mother will not want you anymore and replace you with someone else."

"No way, my mother is the best to me, and she also likes playing games. I just inherited her good qualities!"

Alice said confidently, "Besides, I don't just play games, I learn knowledge from games so that I can better perform my duties. Guiding mortal civilization is not just talk, and the world of Eden cannot copy the practices of the world of Earth. Since Mother created the world and civilization with the idea of ​​making games, I naturally have to look for inspiration from games!"

Tiandis glared at her and said, "You are the best at talking. If you have the guts, you can say the same thing to mother."

"Just say it, mother will definitely agree with me!"

"Yes, yes. Maybe they will remove you and replace you with a young girl king."

"Bullshit!"

While bickering, the two came to the headquarters building of Game Command Company and took the sightseeing elevator to the president's office on the 99th floor. The goddess who created them was here. Every once in a while, they had to report their work to the goddess. If they encountered any difficulties, they could also ask the goddess for help. She would not blame her daughter, and of course would not blame the person who caused the problem. She usually just tolerated their mistakes and gently solved the problem. Therefore, both mortals and the young queen respected this great goddess very much.

Of course, Tiantis rarely asks the goddess for help, because her duties do not require her to deal with mortals much, but Alice asks for help more frequently. Mortal civilization always agrees to her suggestions on the surface, but secretly violates them again and again. The goddess and Alice both hope that they can live in peace and not start disputes, but in the past hundred years, there have been countless large-scale wars, and each time it requires the young queen and the goddess to personally coordinate to resolve them.

Tiantis felt that her mother and Alice were too gentle, and that if they were stricter, these problems could be solved. However, she never expressed this idea aloud because she knew they would not agree.

The door of the president's office slowly opened. The two of them froze in place before they even walked in, because they discovered that in addition to the goddess who created them, there was another person in the room.

She was a girl with silver hair and golden eyes. She looked exactly like the goddess, and they seemed to have a very close relationship. Half of her body was huddled behind the goddess, with only her head showing, looking at them blankly.

Alice was struck by lightning: Could it be that what Tiantis said was true, and my mother wants to choose someone else to replace me?

Tiantis glanced at her with a gloating look and did not feel any sympathy for Alice's experience. She said that she deserved it.

At this time, the goddess' gentle voice came from the room: "Tantis, Alice, don't stand outside the door all the time, come in quickly."

"Let me introduce her to you. She is Celestial."

"She's your sister."

Give me some meow
