Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 1035 No comments?
Until she left, Themis was still unsure whether her actions were correct; the only thing she was sure of was that if it were her mother, she would definitely do the same. In other words, she was not carrying out her own will, but was just passing on her mother's past teachings and mottos to her daughter.

Time goes round and round, and eventually everything returns to the starting point.

On the huge circular device, the blue magic light gradually dimmed, and a door to another world was closed. The girl's back also completely disappeared from Saint Shallia's eyes. She couldn't help but sigh softly, and the sigh echoed faintly in the empty and lonely room, with a sense of melancholy. She felt sorry for the girl who was leaving soon after meeting her, and was deeply worried about the loneliness and sadness that often appeared between her eyebrows.

What had she been through that made her so immersed in memories? Who was she going to meet in the other world? Could it be that she was also close to her mother? Would their meeting go smoothly, or would it be like the plot in a storybook, full of twists and turns, always accompanied by joys and sorrows that were difficult for the human world to accept? Questions popped up in her mind one by one, and then burst like bubbles. It was not until then that Saint Charia realized that although they had been together for a long time, she was not actually familiar with the girl, and all her knowledge of her was based on conjecture.

I hope she will be happier in the other world.

The blue-haired girl silently gave her blessing, then turned and left the room, taking the sightseeing elevator to the control center on the top floor of the building. Before leaving, Celestial Themis granted her the authority to operate the control center and taught her some basic operations, which were enough to maintain the normal operation of the control center and the Heavenly Temple. Saint Shallia understood that in addition to taking care of her sister, she had another heavy responsibility, but she did not feel troubled, but she was often worried about whether she could do it well.

Fortunately, I am never alone, there is always someone supporting me behind the scenes.

Find a time to explain this to Carabosse, Shino and Pereke, and then ask them to help... Saint Shalia was thinking this when she suddenly felt a chill on her wrist. She raised her hand and saw that it was the shell pendant on the glass bracelet, which was emitting a soft light. This was a small prop made by Rolena. She learned from a book that there seemed to be a tool in the world that could allow people to communicate freely no matter where they were, without being restricted by distance. She was very interested in this, so she pondered for a while and made two finished products. One was kept by herself, and the other was naturally given to her most beloved eldest sister, which was the bracelet on Saint Shalia's hand.

Normally, if something happened and she couldn't contact Saint Shallia, she would pass the message through this bracelet, and it seems that this time is no exception.

However, weren't they going to the planetarium to watch the stars? With Carabos watching, there shouldn't be any trouble, right? With such doubts, Saint Xia Liya opened the shell pendant on the bracelet, and there was a crystal clear little pearl inlaid inside. Rolena's voice came clearly from the pearl: "Hey, Sister Xia, are you free now?"

"kindness."

Although the other party could not see her movements, Saint Shallia nodded subconsciously. She knew that such an action would make her sisters feel at ease. They all felt that as long as their eldest sister maintained this calm attitude, there would be nothing in the world that could not be solved. "What happened, Lorena?"

Did Leticia and Lilithy quarrel again? Or did Feier and Favrona fight too much and damage the equipment in the planetarium? Or did Ieta get distracted and accidentally bump into a pillar? Saint Shalia thought about all kinds of possibilities in her mind, and these were all things that happened all the time.

But this time, the situation seems to be different.

There was a murmur of voices coming from the other side, and then Rorona said in a somewhat tangled tone: "Well, something did happen, but I don't know how to explain it because the situation is a bit complicated... By the way, I'll let Sister Carabosse tell you."

Then a calmer and more steady voice took over the conversation. It was Carabosse, the second elder sister of the young queen, who was more prestigious in the eyes of the girls because of her strict character: "In short, we found someone."

"People?" Saint Xia Liya didn't react to what this meant for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Where did you find it?"

"It looks like there is still some distance outside the Initial Star Region, but I don't know how he can come and go freely in the universe, and he is now heading towards the direction of the Heavenly Temple. At the current speed, it is estimated that he will soon enter the Initial Star Region." Carabos explained slowly. Behind her, there was a huge, silver-white astronomical telescope in the open field. Due to this unexpected change, Fei Er and Favrona were fighting for control of the astronomical telescope, and they all wanted to see what the mortal who suddenly appeared in the universe looked like. The other sisters also gathered around, their faces full of curiosity and interest, and they seemed to have not yet realized the profound meaning behind this matter.

"mortal?"

Saint Xia Liya opened her eyes in surprise and murmured to herself, "How is it possible? The mortal civilization on Mirror Star should not have developed to the point of exploring the universe? Moreover, you said he came from the Holy Temple of Heaven?"

"Yes, so I was also surprised." Carabos said. In theory, the initial star field was protected by the power of the goddess, and it should be difficult for mortals to find it. But the opponent's forward path showed a straight line, without any changes in the middle, as if he knew the location of the initial star field from the beginning and had a clear goal.

"I think he's suspicious, Xiaoxia." Carabosse said bluntly, "Perhaps we should prohibit him from entering the initial star field, or expel him directly. Before Mother fell asleep, didn't she also leave a warning for us not to contact the civilization on the earth without permission?"

"Eh? Why is that?" Before Saint Shalia could answer, Lilisti called out reluctantly, "I'm still waiting for him to tell me the story of mortal civilization! Sister Carabosse, aren't you curious at all?"

"Not curious." Carabosse glanced at her calmly and said, "You'd better put away your curiosity, Lilisti. Mother's admonition, the mission of the young queen, and the special significance of the Heavenly Temple to this universe... are far more important than that and cannot be lost."

Wow, here we go again, Sister Carabosse’s preaching.

Lilithi had a bitter face. She dared to act coquettishly and flatter the gentle and amiable sister Xiaoxia, but she didn't dare to act rashly in front of the strict sister Carabosse. But it didn't matter. This quirky girl always had a way. She rolled her eyes and quietly stepped back two steps, hiding behind a girl with long platinum hair and elegant temperament. She only showed her head and laughed, "I'm not the only one who has this idea. Sister Avra ​​must have the same idea!"

"Ah I?"

Being used as a shield by her, Avra ​​was caught off guard and subconsciously shook her head, but she caught a glimpse of Lilisti's pitiful expression, with pleading and flattering eyes. Although she knew that this was a deliberate act by her and she had been fooled many times before, Avra ​​still couldn't make up her mind to say no. Besides, she was actually very interested in the mortal who suddenly appeared in the initial star field. To be precise, she was very interested in the mortal civilization behind him. After all, she had learned so much about mortal civilization from books, but they were only records of text and images, lacking credible evidence. In the past, there was a lack of opportunities to seek evidence, but now, wasn't the opportunity right in front of her?
Olvera's heart was immediately moved. Although she was somewhat afraid of Sister Carabosse's severity, in order to seize this opportunity, she still bit the bullet and forced herself to change her shaking head to a nod, and said tremblingly: "I, I think what Lilisti said makes sense, Sister Carabosse. Although Mother forbids us to take the initiative to contact mortal civilization, she did not forbid mortals to take the initiative to contact us. So if we ask him about the general situation of mortal civilization, it should not be considered a violation of Mother's admonition, right?"

The more she spoke, the more she felt that the excuse she had come up with on a whim was actually quite reasonable, and it even became smoother and smoother as she spoke: "...Besides, that mortal has come across the vast sea of ​​stars. He has experienced countless hardships and endured countless loneliness along the way. If we expel him directly, it would be too harsh and would make us appear to have no sympathy. Finally, we still don't know why he came to the Initial Star Domain. What if the mortal civilization on Mirror Star encountered a disaster and he came to seek help? Ignoring people in need is not something that a young girl should do, don't you think, Sister Xiaoxia, Sister Xinuo?"

She sought approval from Saint Xia Liya and Xino, because she knew their personalities very well. Sister Xia was as gentle as a mother and had a sincere compassion for everything; and Sister Xino possessed all the noble morals and spirits mentioned in the storybook, just like a real knight. As long as she used such rhetoric, there was a high chance that they would agree with her. This was the negotiation technique mentioned in the book!
Ao Vera was pleased with herself, and the result was exactly as expected. As soon as she said this, Saint Xia Liya immediately fell into deep thought, and after hesitating for a while, Xino expressed his attitude cautiously: "I think what Ao Vera said makes sense. If he came for the mortal civilization on Mirror Star and asked us for help, as the young queen, it may not be reasonable for us to sit idly by. As for whether he has other purposes, I don't think that is a problem. After all, the Holy Temple of Heaven is the holy land of our mother, and it is definitely not a place where ordinary people can act recklessly."

"That's right!"

Favrona, with her flaming hair and eyes, and her passionate and outspoken personality, clenched her fists, her eyes burning with the urge to try: "If that guy has bad intentions, let me teach him a profound lesson and let him know how powerful I am!"

Fei Er smiled sinisterly and fanned the flames: "What if you can't beat him? Remember to ask me for help. I will prepare snacks and watch the fight and laugh at you!"

"Nonsense!" Favrona glared at her in dissatisfaction. "I am the dignified King of Dispute, how could I lose to a mortal? Also, Fei'er, I am your sister, so you should speak with respect!"

"When you admit that you are not as strong as me, I will admit that you are my sister."

"I am stronger than you, why should I ask you to admit it?"

"Because a sister should tolerate her younger sister. If you can't even do that, why should you be my sister?"

"...Fei Er, come here."

“Will you tolerate me?”

"I'm going to beat you up!"

In the end, it was only after Karabos gave each of them a stern warning look that the two childish guys stopped fighting.

"Don't take advantage of this." Karabosse said calmly: "Besides, you have said so much, isn't it also to express your agreement?"

Fei'er and Favrona looked at each other and laughed. Although they didn't think that such a trick could be hidden from Sister Carabosse at the beginning, they were still a little embarrassed after being pointed out in front of them...Are they really embarrassed?

Carabosse shook her head, ignored the two shameless sisters, turned to look at the others, and asked for their opinions. As a result, they all got the same answer, so that in the end, Carabosse was the only one who clearly opposed the mortal entering the initial star field.

She knew why this happened. After all, the young queen had been away from the world for too long and had been living a peaceful life. Although it was peaceful, another meaning of peace was boredom. If it was just plain boredom, it would be fine. After all, as long as you get used to it, you won't find it unbearable. But there are many things in this city that come from that glorious and prosperous human civilization. From words to images, it shows that there are many wonderful things in the world beyond their imagination.

Once there is a comparison, the girls can no longer endure this quiet and boring life. They begin to desire change and want to touch the world outside the city. This desire is so strong that just looking at the stars can make them very interested, let alone a living mortal from the mirror star?
Carabosse sighed silently.

Although she was strict, this strictness was actually for the sake of her younger sisters. The eldest sister was too gentle. If she was not strict, no one could restrain these girls. But once the girls all desperately wanted the same thing, even a strict person like Carabosse would not have the heart to stifle their wishes.

What's more, the eldest sister should be more reluctant than her.

Carabos thought so, and sure enough, the next moment, Saint Shalia's gentle voice came from the other end: "I think what Ovella said makes sense. Maybe we can listen to the man's intentions first, and then make a judgment."

I knew it would be like this.

Carabosse quietly glared at Lilisti, who was secretly happy, and then said in a calm tone: "I understand."

"If this is your decision, then I have no problem with it."

Give me some meow
