Alice in the Land of Steam

Is Chapter 354 a very arrogant idea?
The evening breeze blew gently, and the rustling sound of pine and vine leaves came from the quiet forest. The sparse moonlight was reflected in the clear and bright water, and shining green strings were reflected. The floating strings traced the trajectory of the wind, and it seemed that ripples appeared on the water surface as well, until a white and slender hand reached out and gently pressed them, and then the water returned to calm.

Long hair always causes some inconveniences, so Saint Charlia used a ring to tie up these restless hairs, and then tied the long braid in the middle tightly, then wrapped it around her beautiful and slender neck and hung it down to her chest, revealing her milky and delicate skin under the braid. This made her back look as stunning as a fairy bathing by the water in Slovenian mythology.

The lamb lay at her feet, curiously looking at its own reflection in the pond, making some funny movements from time to time, and then laughing meaningfully at its stupid self in the water, as if mocking the other's IQ, which fully proved that there was definitely a reason why it could play with Alice and Shaymi.

"Lingge." Even though it was dark in the woods at night, the girl's clear green eyes could still clearly reflect the young man's face. Seeing him standing under an ancient yew tree, staring at the pointed and dense needle-like leaves, she asked in a soft and expectant tone, "You said you had something to tell me, what was it?"

Ling Ge retracted his gaze and said, "About Rochelle."

"The traveler from the Fertile Soil Sect?"

"kindness."

Saint Xia Liya thought about it, and somehow, she suddenly said comfortingly: "It's not your fault, Lingge, you have done well enough."

Linger looked at her in surprise, as if he didn't understand why Saint Xia Liya wanted to apologize to him. But his surprise soon returned to normal, and he replied, "Thank you, but that's not what I wanted to say."

"Did I misunderstand? I'm sorry." There was a hint of guilt in her tone, although Ling Ge felt that this was not something that required a special apology.

That sentence bothered Ling Ge to this day, and it was one of the reasons why he had been so uneasy these days.

Maybe this is the character of the shepherdess, serious and gentle, but sometimes too serious, so gentle that people are at a loss, as if they were treated like this for the first time in their lives, and they were at a loss. Such an image always reminds young people of a person who has passed away, as if his shadow is going up against an invisible river, and floating in their eyes, but it is fleeting and they can't catch a trace.

But he quickly came to his senses. The chirping of insects in the dark night was empty and noisy, echoing clearly in his ears, making him realize that the past and the present should be separated. The two people are different, he said to himself silently.

He said that the history of this world was being tampered with, and warned him to be careful of a group called "Philosophers" and a mysterious force called "Witch Society". In this way, perhaps the so-called Witch Society is the one behind the tampering of history, and the group of philosophers is the means for them to infiltrate the secular world and achieve their goals. Their power is so powerful that even history has become a toy in their hands.

"It's ok."

A thing must have its original appearance, and then be distorted into another appearance, so that it can be said to be tampered. Although Rochelle is paranoid, he is also a serious person. Lingge doesn't think he will make such an obvious mistake.

"What is the definition of tampering with history?" The young man stared at the dark brown bark of the yew tree, which was full of grooves. When he reached out to touch it, he felt a bit cold and rough. Saint Shallia sat by the pond, stroking the lamb's soft fur while listening to him quietly: "If the Witch Society is just an organization hidden in the dark side of the world, silently guiding and manipulating the direction of history as I think, then a more accurate description should be creation, shaping, editing... It should not be described as tampering."

But the problem is.

He said to Saint Xia Liya, and then quickly changed the subject, or rather, returned to the main topic: "Before Rochelle died, she said something to me."

Since he used the term "tampering", then what exactly was the original history like compared to the tampered history? What reference did those so-called "philosophers" use to tamper with the history of this world? Since there were traces left, it must be something that is incompatible with this world, right?

Saint Shallia was thinking of something. Alice's arrogant voice seemed to be very close. In the night with the moonlight gradually seeping in, her green eyes were shining with the same brilliance as the swaying forest vines and the clear lake water: "Earthling?"

Linger nodded slightly: "Yes." The four philosophers of the Renaissance, Napoleon, Joan of Arc, King Barbarossa the Red Bearded, Merlin, the ancestor of magic, Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, the explorer Marco Polo, the navigator Magellan, the first Minister of War Affairs Helmut... almost all of them appeared at the key nodes of every period of history and played a vital role: enlightening people's wisdom, exploring the unknown, unifying the country, reforming the political system, promoting civilization, and even changing the power system of the mysterious world.

The active presence of historical figures from Earth on the Mirror Star stage was originally considered a normal thing. After all, heroes appear in every era. Now, those heroes are just given names of people from other worlds. Perhaps they are two different people in essence. But since Ling Ge personally came into contact with Alice, another traveler from Earth, this concept has undergone a subtle change, and he believes that there may be some unknown connection between the two worlds.

Alice believes that these earthlings with the same name and surname are just their counterparts in another world. Therefore, although their historical positions are similar, there are great differences in their characters, personalities and specific deeds. Linger thinks this is a reasonable guess, but now he has another guess.

"Perhaps, like Alice, those Earthlings are also time travelers." He thought carefully and said, "They think they can use advanced knowledge from another world to transform this world, so they call themselves philosophers. The Witch Society may be a mysterious force composed of Earth travelers. From ancient times to the present, they have been secretly guiding and manipulating the history of the Mirror Star World, tampering with it to a similar orbit to that of the Earth."

The forest fell into silence. After a while, Lingge heard Saint Xia Liya sighing faintly: "If that's the case."

"That's really an arrogant idea."

……

"Mei, Metian, what did you just say?" Shemi stammered, looking at his little friend in disbelief.

So the pink-haired girl repeated her previous words very seriously: "I say, should we bring everyone from the Fairy Sleep Inn to this island as well?"

Xie Mi's eyes widened, and she was even more surprised after she was sure that she had heard correctly. Metien patiently explained to her why he said that: "I'm not joking, Xie Mi? Think about it, isn't this a win-win situation for both parties? Sister Alice wants to build Sky Island into our new base, but the living conditions here are very inconvenient, and it's not a suitable place for people to live. But if everyone in the hotel can come to help, this situation can be greatly improved; and everyone in the hotel can also travel with us, leaving the city monitored by the night watchman, and no longer worrying every day."

She counted the advantages on her fingers, then stared at Shemi with sparkling eyes: "What do you think, Shemi?"

I think? I don't think so at all... It seems pretty good, eh?

If the eldest sister, the second sister, Mr. Rabbit and the stone gardeners all moved to this island, it would be very lively, right? Moreover, the climate and environment on the island are very pleasant, with wind, sunshine, forests, flower fields, ponds... completely meeting the requirements of the traveler fairies for a place to live. In contrast, although Rostin City is known as the "prosperous city" and has good natural greenery, it is a human city after all, and there are always many inconveniences, not to mention that they have to face the searches and hunts of the night watchmen from time to time.

Doesn’t traveling around the world with Cloud Whale perfectly fit the nature of the traveler fairy?

Shaymi was moved.

Even so, she was still a little hesitant because she realized that there was a huge difficulty in this matter.

"That's fine, but——"

She sat on a drooping silver velvet flower, frowned, and said in a serious tone: "How can we convince the eldest and second sisters to move to this island?"
