Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 475 Are They All My Sisters?

Sometimes people understand the world through rational thinking, which they call wisdom, and sometimes through some mysterious intuition, which comes without warning and does not follow the logical operation that humans have set boundaries for. It is like Bayer's violin music suddenly ringing in the quiet night, or the sea of ​​roses growing wildly between cold cemeteries and tombstones. People call it prophecy.

In the ancient Yaldes language, "prophecy" can be divided into two roots, namely "foreknowledge" and "speech". For the former, it is distant, unknown, and belongs to the future; for the latter, it is the first time since the birth of life that emotional emotions are expressed in a rational way. Therefore, these two words combined have only one meaning: that is, to see what will happen in the distant future and to speak it out. If any of these conditions is missing, it cannot be considered a prophecy.

But this is just a definition made by those black monks who are used to silent thinking. In fact, some people's predictions have nothing to do with the future or language. The person who has the deepest understanding of this should be Saint Shallia. When she was baptized with the blood of the old wizard Moria, the latter had lost the ability to speak. However, the sad and compassionate eyes still silently told her a prophecy about the fate of the world, and it still echoes in her mind, just like the tide hitting the reefs on the shore long ago, making a loud splash.

The cause and end of all this can be traced back to the time before human beings were born, when love, loneliness, and the loneliness of love had not yet been clearly defined. Therefore, the shepherdess could say that she had seen the past.

She predicted the past, predicting that the girl named Xiatise was actually her own past life.

Trees grow in their annual rings day after day, and humans cycle in their memories year after year.

Fei Er suddenly took a deep breath, as if she wanted to suck all the cold air into her lungs to cool down the remaining heat; then she exhaled a long breath, as if she wanted to expel all the dirty and dull air accumulated in her heart, and felt that she had unloaded a heavy burden. She raised her head and smiled at Saint Xia Liya: "You really can't hide anything from you."

Just like before.

"Actually, this should be confidential, but I think you - you, are qualified to know the truth. Besides," Fei Er glanced behind her. Her loyal followers were like silent steel statues, standing still in the darkness. "They seem to be unable to hear the sound from this side, which means that our next conversation is private. So, let me violate the confidentiality regulations of the association once. It's not the first time anyway."

After Lingge revealed the identity of the young queen, she simply stopped hiding it and openly called Saint Xia Liya her sister. The latter did not react much to this, but just frowned slightly: "What does this mean?"

That's why Fei Er told Saint Xia Liya that she had a familiar feeling about her. She might have never met Saint Xia Liya in this life, but as long as they met, the throbbing from her soul would not lie.

"Oh, wasn't my reminder obvious enough? Or have you become insensitive now, Sister Saint Xia Liya? You used to be so sensitive and delicate, you could detect whatever people were hiding, and you would comfort them gently... Forget it, it's all in the past, and talking about it now will only make you feel troubled, right?" Fei Er shook her head, throwing away those memories that would make people feel lost and depressed, and smiled again: "Then, let me remind you again: when will a person completely abandon his past memories, identity, experience and name?"

A trace of confusion gradually appeared in Saint Xia Liya's beautiful and clear golden eyes: "You mean, I have died before?"

Saint Xia Liya got a new name, as did Olvera, Ieta, and Leticia who I just met. Who killed the previous lives of these girls' royal power? Who could have such a powerful force? What was their purpose? Was it to seize the authority left by the goddess who created the world?

"That's right, but the Girl Kings will never die. They will only reincarnate, reborn, and then enter the next life journey, gaining a new name and identity. As time goes by, they will gradually recall their true origins and take back the laws that govern the order and chaos of the world. In other words, the Girl Kings will always be the Girl Kings. Their race, identity, and name will change, but the essence of their souls will never change."

"But," Saint Xia Liya bit her lower lip lightly, and slowly clenched the clothes on her chest with her palms. The fine folds were like the thoughts in her heart, intricate and complicated: "Who killed my previous life - our previous life?"

After that, she didn't wait for Saint Shallia to answer, and she started talking on her own: "You are indeed Shatise, but you are more than just Shatise, because in addition to this name, you also have the previous name, the previous previous name, and the original name... but they are all too distant memories, so, please allow me to call you by this most recent name, is that okay, dear Sister Saint Shallia?"

She snapped her fingers, making a clear and pleasant sound. She asked the question and then gave the answer herself. Or rather, she was afraid that Saint Xia Liya would think of the answer, so she wanted to say it before her: "The answer is revealed: it is time to die."

Everyone had the same doubts in their hearts, including Leticia, who just learned her true identity for the first time and wanted to know the truth even though she was not interested. Only Lingge had a cold face, but it was not that he did not want to know the answer, but he was unwilling to know the answer, because he vaguely felt that it would definitely be a cold and cruel answer for everyone.

Fei Er also knew it, but she couldn't hide the truth from her former sister. Besides, if she didn't tell them, wouldn't they be able to guess it? She just held on to some luck.

The smile on the Witch of Dread slowly disappeared. She was silent for a long time before she spoke: "The girl kingship left by the mother after she created the world has absolute roots in the laws. Any extraordinary power originates from the seven laws of order and the seven laws of chaos. The mortals who obtain power from them can never kill the controllers who give them power. Therefore, the only one who can kill the girl kingship is the power of the same status as them, that is--" She stopped here and did not continue, but everyone understood what she did not finish: another girl kingship.

Olvera opened her mouth blankly, not knowing what to say; Leticia blinked, not seeming to care, but that was because she did not have a clear understanding of what the Girl's Kingdom meant; Saint Xia Liya's reaction should have been the most excited, but on the contrary, she was very calm, just looking at Fei Er, until her eyes began to flicker unnaturally, and suddenly asked: "Besides you?"

Fei Er was stunned: "What?"

"Besides you," Saint Shalia repeated calmly, "who else?"

“This, this——” Fei Er hesitated, and seemed to want to avoid the question, but was finally defeated by Saint Xia Liya’s gaze. She grabbed her hair irritably: “Oh, I’m telling you, don’t look at me like that! Besides me, there are also Sister Carabosse, Sister Pereke, Sister Eve, and that bastard Favrona who always wants me to call her sister, Sister Times and Sister Lilithi, and… no, no more, these are all people you know, of course you should have no impression of them now. In addition to them, there are others. We have many companions, but I can’t tell you their names because they are not the Girl Kingship, they are just people who share the same ideals as us.”

"Are you willing to murder your own sisters together?" Ling Ge suddenly interrupted.

"Shut up!" Fei Er glared at him fiercely, bloodshot eyes dilating in her silver-grey pupils, which looked a little scarlet: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything!"

Ling Ge said: "You are unwilling to say anything, so we naturally know nothing."

When Olvera heard the first name, her heart began to beat restlessly, which showed her fear and hesitation that she had not felt for a long time, because she clearly remembered that the final boss she met at the bottom of the map of "Dark Castle: Dawn Waltz" was named [Ruler - Shadow of Carabosse]. In this case, then all the inexplicable and infuriating words she said at that time seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

But why?

Why do the young girls and Wang Quan, who are sisters, hurt each other?

She thought blankly.

"You said that your kingship is the fear of the Chaos side." Ling Ge suddenly asked again: "Then, if I am not mistaken, those girls you just mentioned are also the controllers of the Chaos Kingship, right?"

Fei'er nodded reluctantly, acknowledging his guess.

really.

The young man exhaled softly: This is a reasonable guess based on the existing information. So far, the girl kingships he has encountered, [Destiny], [Mystery], [Freedom], and [Eternity], are undoubtedly the kingships of order. So, where did the kingship of chaos go? The answer is right in front of him.

Therefore, the truth behind the fourteen girl royalities being enemies with each other is actually the conflict between the royal power of order and the royal power of chaos.

The two fulcrums that maintain the balance of the universe seem to have an unbridgeable crack.
