Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 355 Is it really too scary?
As we all know, traveler fairies have a rather special nature. They yearn for freedom and love to travel. Therefore, when they are young, they will embark on a pilgrimage and travel all over the world just to satisfy their pursuit of unknown scenery; however, once they grow a second pair of wings and become adults, their pilgrimage will come to an end, and they will only stay in the same place for the rest of their lives and will no longer travel far.

The proprietress of the Fairy Sleep Inn, Shesta, and the bartender, Shelia, happened to be traveling fairies who had completed their pilgrimage, so they always stayed in the city of Rostin. Even when faced with the threat of the Night Watchmen, they never thought of leaving. The only thing they drove out was Shemi, the little sister who had already reached adulthood but had not completed her pilgrimage for special reasons, and made her travel with Lingge and others.

To persuade them to move to this island would be to persuade them to go against their nature, which is impossible no matter how you think about it.

Xie Mi shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, the eldest and second sisters will not agree to it."

If they were willing to do so, they should have left a hundred years earlier, or even earlier, when Saint Shalia saved their lives. That time, the night watchmen had surrounded Sherriel Street and were only one step away from finding the inn. However, in the face of such a critical moment, they still did not change their minds, which may show that the nature of traveler fairies is not something that can be changed so easily.

So, Metien’s idea is beautiful, but it is just an idea.

Ugh.

Shaymi sighed deeply.

"But," the pink-haired girl blinked her eyes, looked at her frustrated friend, and said in an inexplicably happy tone, "I'm not talking about asking the proprietress and the others to move to this island, but about moving the Fairy Sleep Inn to the island, okay?"

Shaymi muttered, "What's the difference... huh!?"

The pink-haired girl's mouth drew up a reserved smile. She pursed her lips and did not get lost in the flattery of her friends. She still maintained her composure and said, "I just made a suggestion. If you really want to convince the boss lady and Miss Shelia, it depends on you, Shemy."

……

"That's what I mean." The pink-haired girl smiled cunningly like a little fox in a folk fairy tale: "The situation at the Fairy Sleep Inn is very similar to what happened to Sister Yieta before."

Shemi flapped her transparent butterfly wings and flew to Metien's head, urging her to do it, completely forgetting about the matter of choosing flowers.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find Ling Ge, hurry up!"

Only Xie Mi's position allows her to do such a thing without scruples. As for others, after all, they are not traveling fairies, so it is not so legitimate.

Metien nodded slightly, and thought of another key person: "And Lingge, I have to tell him about this. I don't think he will object."

Ijeta was unable to leave the windmill tower room because of her curse, while Shesta and Shelia were unable to leave the hotel because of their nature as travellers. But Linger convinced Ijeta with one sentence: If you can't fly, let the ground under your feet fly; in this way, although you can't leave the place where you are bound, you can follow the ground flying in the sky and witness more distant scenery.

Thus, the Cloud Whale Island was born under the feet of Metien and Shemi.

"kindness."

"Humph."

Medien also wanted to explain this matter to his brother as soon as possible, so he agreed, and then, with a little goblin on his head, he trotted in the direction he came from and went back to find Lingge.

If I use the same reason to convince my eldest and second sisters... As Xie Mi thought about it, his eyes gradually lit up: It seems, it seems, maybe, it is not impossible to succeed?
"Metien! You are a genius!" she cried out happily.

"Leave it to me!" Xie Mi patted his chest and assured confidently: "I will definitely convince the eldest and second sisters!"

She suddenly realized it, her eyes widened: "What do you mean?"

At the same time, Saint Shallia's sigh echoed faintly in the night, stirring up ripples in the water. The chirping of insects was empty and silent, and the fluorescence of moss scattered in every corner of the forest, outlining vague outlines, rotten grass and flowers, stones or rotten wood.

Arrogance? Perhaps so. They see themselves as the spokespersons of advanced civilization, wantonly manipulate the history of the world, and let the track leading to destiny and the future change direction at will in their hands. If this behavior is not described as "arrogance", it is indeed difficult to think of a more appropriate word.

Ling Ge suddenly thought of Alice, the girl who always liked to call herself a genius gamer, who seemed to have no feelings about disasters and pain, and only cared about whether she had made a "shit game" that was not to her liking. At this moment, her image magically overlapped with the image of those earthlings. Perhaps these people with the same origins also had the same characteristics, that is, they all regarded the world as a game, and they were players who determined the direction of the plot and the final outcome. So, can we say that Alice is also an arrogant person? Is the laxity, willfulness and casualness she showed when getting along with these "natives" just because of a lack of empathy? In those fleeting moments, was there a moment when she realized that what she was experiencing was not a game, but the reality of many people?
People who appear in incredible ways also live in incredible ways and have incredible fantasies.

He suddenly said, "If those Earthlings want to guide the history of this world onto a more correct path, then perhaps it is not arrogance, it is just that they have greater wishes than ordinary people. Besides, this is just my guess, and I cannot be sure that it is correct."

Then how can you be sure that the path that those earthlings want to lead the world towards is definitely more correct than the original world?
In the face of history and civilization, what is right and what is wrong?
Saint Shalia opened her mouth, wanting to ask what was on her mind, but the words came out of her mouth with another meaning: "In that case, you should go and discuss it with Alice."

She is the one who understands the Earth Philosopher best.

"No." Ling Ge shook his head: "I'm afraid she doesn't even understand her own time travel, how can she understand the situation of other earthlings? Besides, from what I know, she has many strange things."

For example, as a game geek, where did she get so much historical knowledge to be able to tell all the famous people in this world one by one, like a treasure trove? The breadth of her knowledge and the depth of her knowledge amazed even Lingge, a university student majoring in history.

Another example is the mysterious game console. Linger is sure that even if all the philosophers who have appeared in human history are indeed travelers from Earth, they definitely do not possess the magical power like Alice's game console. Otherwise, the history of this world should have changed to a greater extent - or distorted.

A religion that fanatically worships game consoles suddenly emerged in his mind. Their emblem is the sacred cassette. Every believer talks about how to play the game and how to pass the game. They regard the image of a golden-haired maid as a "gaming saint" and worship her. The Pope, who is closest to God, would proudly call himself a genius gamer... The young man suddenly shuddered.

"What's wrong?" Saint Shalia asked with concern.

Lingge was silent for a moment before replying, "Nothing, I just thought of something...very scary."

How scary must it be to make Lingge feel scared?
Saint Shallia was very curious, and her emerald eyes flashed with a light called curiosity.

Unfortunately, Lingge was unwilling to talk to her more.

because.

That's really terrible.

……

"Haha!"

Alice suddenly sneezed hard, then touched her red nose and muttered, "Who's thinking about me again? Could it be Lingge?"

"Um, Alice." Yieta, who was huddled in the corner, reminded weakly, "You are dead."

"Eh?"

Alice looked back and saw that on the virtual screen, the game character she was controlling had been torn into pieces by the wildly laughing Miss Nightmare, and was even stepped on and mocked. Well, she was playing the classic pixel RPG game "First Fantasy: Four Warriors" to regain the feelings of her youth. As for the newly launched air combat game "Sky Orbit: Zero Behemoth", she had shelved it because of its poor quality. Alas, it was all black history, so it was better not to talk about it.

"Damn it." Looking at the GAME OVER prompt that popped up on the screen, the golden-haired maid gritted her teeth in hatred: "I was about to complete the game, it's all Lingge's fault for distracting me!"

But isn't that a problem with your own operation?
Yieta, who watched the entire game silently, thought silently, and at the same time silently shrank her body into the corner. Her wings wrapped around her body and she felt warm, but her heart was cold.

Alice, when are you leaving?

She sighed plaintively.

　Give me some meow
