Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 241 Could you please take her away too?

"Goooooooooo!"

The transparent and clear water was bubbling in the glass, faintly emitting a hint of chill. The bartender behind the counter put away the cocktail shaker with an elegant and neat movement, and pushed the two glasses of water in front of Ling Ge and Saint Xia Liya respectively, and said confidently: "This is a brand new combination that I came up with after a burst of inspiration this morning. It is the proudest work of my life, so I decided to name it-"

She pretended to think deeply for a while before slowly speaking four words: "Ice Spirit, how about it?"

It feels not as good as the holy nectar.

Lingge silently took a sip of the "Ice Spirit", feeling the cool and refreshing water swirling around the tip of his tongue, stimulating every picky taste bud, and then soaking into his lungs along his throat, just like the melting snow on the mountains flowing into the silent rivers, washing away all the fatigue and sleepiness of the journey, and feeling refreshed and extremely comfortable.

Although the naming is still debatable, the water adjuster's craftsmanship is indeed very good.

Saint Shalia also took a sip, and as she sipped gently, she lowered her head to reveal a small section of her smooth white neck, her posture was as graceful as a work of art under the knife of a master. Then she poured a little more into her palm and fed it to the impatient lamb beside her. Hearing it bleating as if commenting on it, she said to Shalia, "It tastes great, and the lamb likes it too."

A hint of pride flashed across the master's eyes, and he replied modestly: "Your satisfaction is exactly the motivation for me to continue working hard."

After the performance, Shelia served the two some snacks and asked them, "How was your trip? Seeing that you are safe and sound, and with Miss Avra ​​joining us, I think you must have achieved satisfactory results. Do you mind sharing your experiences with me? I'm very interested in this."

Seeing that Saint Charity had no intention of speaking, and the bartender's eyes were on him, Linger reluctantly recounted their adventures in the mountains, omitting some unimportant and sad parts. For example, the self-sacrifice for Mrs. Tree was only mentioned in one sentence without any details.

This is not a polite remark, but a practical thought. Although the traveler fairies will stop traveling after growing a second pair of butterfly wings, their yearning for distance and freedom is indelible, so they are always willing to provide other travelers with help within their ability, such as finding water sources, guiding directions, etc. This is also the reason why the proprietress Shesta wanted to build a hotel here.

Being in this city of art, her remarks are inevitably tinged with literary and artistic flavor.

Having said that, just the information that has been revealed made Xie Liya sigh with emotion. She finally understood why Mrs. Shu had such a sad expression when she said goodbye to everyone in the hotel that day.

After sorting out the context of the entire incident that spanned a thousand years, Xie Liya looked out the window and sighed, "What a coincidence of fate. She was her teacher, and later she became her teacher again, saving her with the relics she left behind... If this was a play, I'm afraid the audience would hold back their tears, grief and sadness, right?"

"This should be an extremely difficult choice, but it is also Mrs. Shu's own choice." The bartender said softly, unconsciously playing with the exquisite glass wine utensils with her left hand: "So, the teacher that Mrs. Shu mentioned, who left the Grass and Wood Disaster Star to her, is actually Avra ​​herself - or, in other words, her previous life?"

Celia, who has completed the pilgrimage, is very interested in everything, including the legend that Sir Roman has been pursuing for a hundred years, the mysterious castle in Mount Sosen, and even the origin of Miss Olvera... She wants to know the truth behind everything.

"That is to say, Olvera was once Mrs. Tree's teacher, and taught her many things. Later, she died in that battle and was reincarnated as the princess of Bemang. Mrs. Tree searched for her for a long time before finding her whereabouts, but found that her teacher had no memory of herself at all and had to endure the torture of the curse. So she chose to become Olvera's teacher, taught her to relieve the pain, and was always looking for an opportunity to lift the curse, but there was no way, and she could only watch Olvera take the initiative to walk into the castle to seal herself. In the end, she had to interrupt her journey because of the loss of magic power and stayed in the Fairy Deep Sleep Inn, but she never gave up her obsession with the past, so she transformed her teacher's relics into the Grass and Tree Disaster Star. From then on, she was ready to sacrifice herself, and then, she waited for you to appear..."

Linger nodded slightly. "The one who sealed Olvera in the castle was not Noctus the Dark as people believed. It can even be said that this legendary sun-devouring monster does not exist. It's just that people at that time mistook some kind of disaster for the monster's ferocity, and the rumor spread. As for what kind of disaster it was, I remember Madam Shu once mentioned that her teacher died in a fierce battle. That battle took place about a thousand years ago, which happened to be close to the 11th century AD when the legend was born."

Lingge was also thinking about something, but it had nothing to do with the fate that kept lingering in Shelia's mind. He was thinking about the fierce battle a thousand years ago. Even the disaster caused by the battle was enough to derive the legend of the sun-devouring monster Noctus, which showed that the two warring parties must be extremely powerful. Perhaps at that time, Olvera's previous life had not lost the power of the girl's royal power. She was a genuine god who replaced the goddess to rule the world. Then, who is her enemy who can achieve such a great cause of killing gods? What exactly does the "great cause" of the creator mentioned by the ruler and her phantom refer to?
This world may be more complicated than you think.

He was lost in thought. At this moment, Xie Liya had returned to reality from her emotion. She turned her head and looked at Saint Xia Liya: "By the way, Xiao Xia, does Ao Wei La know about this herself? I mean, does she know that she was Mrs. Shu's teacher in her previous life?"

Saint Xia Liya shook her head slowly: "We didn't tell her, but she is a very sensitive child, maybe she has already noticed something." Xie Liya said sincerely: "I hope she can figure it out sooner."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly had an idea. She turned around, opened the wine cabinet, and started to choose from the dazzling array of fine wines (although they were all filled with water). She said confidently, "Or, let her taste my masterpiece. Maybe she can forget those unhappy things!"

Ling Ge was too lazy to complain about her masterpiece. Saint Xia Liya seemed to be immune to it. She quietly watched her flicking the wine bottle, making a crisp echo, and selecting the type of concoction with some strange method. Suddenly, she said, "Xie Liya, there is something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?" The bartender didn't turn around, still concentrating on her flash of inspiration.

Then, Saint Xia Liya's soft voice came over lightly: "I-we may not stay in the hotel for long. We will leave here soon."

Xie Liya's fingers that were tapping the bottle froze for a moment, and she took them back after a while. She replied as if nothing had happened, "So that's what you wanted to talk about. In fact, my elder sister and I had already guessed it. After all, you still have your own mission to complete, and you can't stay in one place for too long. Just like us travel fairies, when it's time to embark on a pilgrimage, we can't stop because of reluctance or fear..."

She suddenly stopped here, looking a little embarrassed, probably because she was thinking of her sister.

There is a living fairy traveler in the hotel who should have gone on a pilgrimage but never did.

Perhaps he will be the last fairy traveler in the tribe to embark on the pilgrimage.

In the past, there were some people who loved to be lazy and hated to work. They would procrastinate and were unwilling to start the pilgrimage when they reached the appropriate age. After all, racial habits are one thing, and individual differences are another.

But no matter how lazy these tribesmen are, and no matter how they want to be a "shut-in" who goes against the tribe's traditions, they will eventually be driven out by their elders and even the elders of the tribe, and will not be allowed to return until they complete their pilgrimage. Therefore, the traveling elves who have not started their pilgrimage until they are 200 years old and become adults, although there are objective factors that interfere with this, are indeed the first ones who are blessed with natural advantages.

If the news gets back to the clan, perhaps the reputation of the "Goblin's Sleep Inn" and the reputation of the "Levreyelle Family" will be lost.

But but but but but!

Such a humiliating history will come to an end today.

"Xia!" Xie Liya's eyes became sharp and fixed directly on the shepherdess's face. Her tone was very serious, as if she was discussing a difficult problem related to the survival of the inn: "It doesn't matter if you want to leave. We all support you to complete your mission. And now the Night Watch's search has been relaxed a lot. Even if we lose your help, we can still cope with it with the magic maze in the underground garden! But before that - can you do me a small favor and take Xie Mi away with us? She is two hundred years old this year. She should have started her pilgrimage long ago. We can't delay any further!"

The night watchmen relaxed their search? Was it because of Rochelle? He left Rostyn, so the night watchmen in the city gave up their original vigilant search network, which made the hotel's situation much better.

However, how powerful is Rochelle, who can fight against the night watchmen of an entire city and a huge mountain alone? Where does he rank among all the magicians in the world?
While Lingge was thinking deeply, Saint Xia Liya had already nodded slightly and agreed to Xie Liya's request. It was better to say that there was no reason to refuse, whether for the sake of her friend or for Xie Mi: "I promise you, Xie Liya. But before that, I think you still need to ask Lingge's opinion."

Linger's opinion?
The bartender was startled for a moment, and then she remembered that when Saint Shalia said she was leaving the hotel, she didn't use "I", but...

us?
