Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 491 Returning to the world because of unbearable loneliness?

Speaking of curses, the faces of several young queens present all changed in different ways. In the past, this was the culprit for their tragic fate, such as the beasts lurking in Olvera's shadow, which had destroyed her country, killed her relatives, and left her alone until now; and the two silver chains wrapped around Ieta's ankles, which bound this angel who was born to yearn for freedom in an invisible cage, and used a disaster caused by human greed and desire, leaving her with an unforgettable memory.

Now, they know that the curse did not come from others, but from their sisters who had lived together day and night and were close to each other. In order to create their ideal Garden of Eden, the girls who controlled the Chaos Kingship not only brutally killed their relatives, but also cursed their souls, using this method to delay the awakening of their memories and powers, trying to complete their great cause before that and transform the world into what they longed for.

In fact, this plan undoubtedly failed, because Saint Xia Liya met Lingge, and then with Lingge's help, she found more sisters and gradually approached the original truth. Finally, Fei'er revealed a story about deception, betrayal and loneliness.

But in terms of effect, these curses did play their role. They limited the power of Saint Xia Liya and others, making it impossible for them to confront Fei Er head-on, even though they were both young queens. If Alice hadn't been quick-witted and thought of a way to escape using the game mechanism, I'm afraid none of them would have come back today.

It is obvious that at least before the so-called "Eden Project" of the Witch Association is realized, the witches will never relax the restrictions on the curse. On the contrary, they may be more vigilant. Even if they were sisters in the past, they are enemies now. Both sides are fighting for their own ideals and beliefs, so naturally they don't care about the past relationship. Fei Er said at the beginning that she didn't want to be an enemy of Saint Xia Liya, but when it came time to take action, didn't she show no mercy?
The only problem is that the witches of chaos have long since recovered their memories and powers, and know what their ideals and beliefs are; but the girls of order have failed many times in succession. The frequent reincarnations have not only exhausted their memories, but also displaced the believers who served as anchors. Now that the Church of the Goddess of Creation is in name only, they seem to still be in confusion.

This is a rather complicated question. Lingge doesn't want to think too much about it now. He just wants to find out about Leticia's situation.

Nevile was silent for a while, then nodded slowly: "I guess so."

"Is it considered to be?" Alice came closer and looked at Leticia's sleeping face, curiously asking, "What do you mean by considered to be?"

The guy's breath was almost blowing on Leticia's face. Seeing this, Nevelle frowned slightly, thinking that this action was a bit rash. However, since she had relied on Alice's game magic to escape danger, it was not easy to directly say that she disliked her. She moved away from her calmly, and then said, "Leticia is not my granddaughter."

"Oh?" Alice's eyes lit up: Are they going to start telling stories again, and the beginning is so exciting? I love to watch this kind of family ethics and moral emotions, with mixed joys and sorrows. Hurry up, hurry up.

Her mood recovered quickly, as if she was not affected by the previous incident at all. The attentive expression on her face was undoubtedly urging Nevile: Update quickly, update quickly.

Nevill ignored her but continued, "A long time ago, I found a girl on the roadside and adopted her. She was Leticia. As for how long ago it was, it was too long ago and I can't remember clearly. Anyway, it was around the time when Neo led his so-called invincible wolf cavalry to plunder the Taguao wilderness, trying to conquer all the aliens and humans on this land."

That was the Middle Ages? Although he knew that this Blood Fang Ancestor had fought side by side with Saint Junio, it still made Ling Ge feel a little strange to hear her say this in person, as if time and space were reversed. But then he thought about it again, the young girl Wang Quan was still by his side at the beginning of the creation, so he felt that there was nothing to be surprised about.

"At that time, wars were too frequent. Not only Neo wanted to unify the Taguao Wilderness, but others also had such ambitions. The same was true for the blood clan. At that time, I was considered a powerful member of the blood clan. Some prestigious elders invited me to join them, but I was really tired of such a turbulent life, so I rejected them and took Leticia to live in seclusion on a secluded peninsula outside the Taguao Wilderness, which is today's Shiqilia Peninsula." "During the days of living with Leticia, I discovered some things about her that were different from ordinary people. For example, she never grew up. What was she like when I picked her up? , after so many years, she is still the same; for example, she is obviously a vampire, but she never needs to suck blood to maintain her hunger, and except for the pair of bat wings, she has no other characteristics close to vampires; for example, every once in a while on the full moon night, about once every six months, she will mysteriously disappear, and appear in front of me the next day, but at this time she has forgotten all memories of me... I asked her, but she herself couldn't explain what was going on, so I stopped asking. Anyway, Leticia is my child, no one is closer to her than me, and of course I believe that she will never hurt me no matter what."

Recalling the years she had lived with the girl in her arms, the countess's face showed a rare gentle expression. Her fingertips gently stroked Leticia's cheek, as if stroking the fragile moonlight, carefully and meticulously. The sleepy girl murmured unconsciously and arched into her arms again, like a defenseless baby, which was completely different from when she faced Lingge and others before. Metien watched from the side, gradually revealing a thoughtful expression.

"What happened next?" Ling asked.

"Later, I gradually aged, and was about to die." Facing the surprised eyes of the crowd, Nevi'er said in a normal tone: "At that time, I had not yet crossed the threshold of demigod, and even as a vampire, my life span was very limited. In those limited years, I lost my parents very early, had no other relatives, and never made any reliable friends. Since the advent of the war, I have been wandering in the wilderness, without any worries. It was not until I adopted Leticia that I felt that I had the only sustenance in my life. So when I was dying, I was not afraid of my own death, nor did I care if anyone was sad about my death. The only thing I was worried about was Leticia, and I was worried about what to do if no one took care of her after she left me. Perhaps because she had never been in contact with other people since she was a child, she was extremely dependent on me as her grandmother, and only trusted and was close to me, but she would lose her memory every six months, which meant that she was destined to be unable to live independently without anyone to take care of her."

"I was so worried that I even ignored the approach of death and could not foresee my own death. However, Leticia saw through my anxiety and uneasiness and comforted me, saying, 'It's okay, grandma, you will definitely not die.' Then she said something that puzzled me at the time: 'Because, I have your blood in my body.'"

Her last words were said in an imitation of Leticia's innocent tone. To be honest, considering the Countess's status and personality, it was a bit strange. Alice shuddered and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I didn't know what it meant at the time. I just thought it was a joke from a little girl and didn't take it seriously. Although I tried my best to find a way to delay death, at least to linger on until Leticia was properly taken care of, but the god of death never shows leniency to anyone, so death still came to me without any warning."

When Neville said this, her eyes were as deep and melancholy as the night: "When I fell into darkness, I thought about what should Leticia do? Without me, who would take care of her? After losing me, would she cry with sadness and be too scared to sleep alone? I think I am the only one in the world who cannot abandon her, because she has nothing except me. So, I prayed desperately, perhaps the only time I prayed in my life: I want to survive, give me another hundred years, ten years, a year, a month, even a minute or a second, I also want to survive, I want to tell that child, you are never alone in this world, I will always be with you until death - no, even death cannot separate you and me."

After so many years, her emotions were still affected by the mood at that time. She clenched her palms silently, and her tone was still calm and calm, but it seemed to have a trembling ending: "I don't know if the unknown god heard my prayer and responded to my call. When my consciousness was about to be swallowed by darkness, suddenly, I saw light in front of me. It was so bright that I thought I was not in the castle, but bathed in the sun."

“I saw again the dark, damp and cold castle where I lived, the brass chandelier hanging from the dome, and the grass and trees in the courtyard outside the French window shivering in the late autumn wind… Then, at that moment, I woke up and I was resurrected.”

The vampire countess with silver eyes would gradually get used to the taste of death and resurrection in the later years, but for her at that time, both were things that were out of reach, as if once she had the desire to pursue them, they would never be obtained. But she finally got them, because she died once, but could not bear the loneliness, so she returned to the world.
