Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 506 Is her mood winter?
Lingge didn't lie, he did have other things to do, such as comforting two other girls who were in a state of depression, a Princess of Beman who did not want to reveal her name and a country girl from Avion who also did not want to reveal her name.

After knowing this, Saint Xia Liya did not ask him to stay, but before he left, she asked curiously: "What about Leticia?"

Leticia?

Ling replied: "I think she is fine and doesn't need comfort."

Although the vampire girl lost her memory again on the night of the full moon, she soon met her "new friend" Metien at the banquet. After the Countess's careful matchmaking, the two soon became inseparable and close again. After all, friendship among little girls is such a simple thing. Moreover, Leticia had a natural liking for Metien for some reason, perhaps second only to her grandmother.

Losing one's memory will certainly make one forget many happy things, but it will also make one forget many sad things. Therefore, Leticia completely forgot what happened that night, the story told by Fei Er, and her identity as the young queen. Not wanting to burden her too much, Nevill deliberately concealed these things from her, and only told her that she left the Shikilia Peninsula this time to travel to a very far place, and that the other people on the island were travel companions and trustworthy friends.

The vampire girl always trusted her grandmother unconditionally, and this time was no exception. So she didn't dwell on why there were both humans and traveler fairies on the island, both light elves and feather elves that had disappeared... Such unreasonable things that could be seen with the naked eye, but she devoted herself to this first trip in her life, running around the island with her friend Metien and her friend's friend Shemi all day, under the pretext of discovering the secrets of the island and looking for new things.

The three of them played too wildly, causing Medien to forget about his studies. Finally, when the proprietress Shesta went into the pharmacy to clean, she found that the tables and chairs, pharmaceutical tools, and bottles and jars on the shelves were all covered with dust. Several herbal samples that Medien had dried and preserved by hand seemed to be showing signs of ineffectiveness. She reminded Medien and warned Shemi and Leticia at the same time, which made them calm down a little.

Anyway, Lingge didn't see any signs of depression in Leticia, so there was no need for him to comfort her.

"is that so."

It happily ran back to its owner, and when it raised its head, its eyes were full of anticipation, as if to say: That annoying guy Lingge is finally gone, do you have time to play with me now?

She was not the kind of person who would hide herself, and this kind of atmosphere that was trying to hide something could not be concealed. Fortunately, Lingge was not the kind of person who would pursue everything to the end. He was only interested in things that were necessary, so he did not take Saint Shallia's concealment to heart. After saying goodbye to her, he turned and left the hill, and walked towards the forest path leading to the flower field below.

"What are you thinking about?" Ling Ge always felt that there was something else behind her words.

Saint Xia Liya opened her mouth slightly, about to tell Ling Ge her thoughts and ask for his opinion. But suddenly she seemed to remember something important, so she stopped here in time, took back the words that were just spinning between her lips and teeth, and slowly shook her head and said, "Nothing, Ling Ge."

Saint Charity stood among the grass and flowers growing wildly on the hill, quietly watching the young man's back as he left, until she saw him disappear behind an old and majestic oak tree, then she retracted her gaze and softly called the lamb's name. The lamb, who was chasing butterflies, heard the call of its owner, twisted its hooves, and ran back, not caring how many grasses it trampled and how many fallen leaves it broke along the way.

Upon hearing this, Saint Shalia showed a thoughtful expression.

But unfortunately, Saint Xia Liya did not come to play with it. Instead, she reached out and touched its head, saying apologetically: "Sorry, lamb, go play with Metien and the others. I have to go find someone now, so I probably don't have time to play with you."

"Mee?" The lamb tilted his head in confusion: Who are you looking for?

Saint Xia Liya couldn't help but smile, then she slowly straightened up, looked up in the direction of the hotel, and said softly: "Leticia." Lingge said that we must learn to make our own decisions.

So this time, let me decide what to do.

……

Lingge didn't know that his words had given Saint Shalia a bold idea. He had left the lush forest and came to the field of blooming primroses. On this island, there were no four seasons, so these beautiful flowers from the Saalia field could bloom to their heart's content, showing their stunning posture that was once praised by poets as "seven-color miracles".

Standing on the edge of the flower field, you can see light pink, sky blue, dark purple, citrus orange... colorful petals are picked up by a sudden gust of wind, floating all over the sky, and then falling down, like a gorgeous and blurry flower rain, the rain is filled with rich and fragrant aroma that makes people deeply intoxicated.

An ancient windmill tower stands in the depths of the misty rain curtain, painted white. The old windmill blades rotate slowly in the wind, and the capstan drives the rusty iron chains, which creak and groan, echoing from that era. It easily reminds people of the scene seven centuries ago when the villagers of Avignon ground grain and dried primroses under this windmill. The scene is as beautiful as a painting and a dream at first glance.

Usually, the flower field is always very lively. On the one hand, this is the place with the flattest terrain and the most beautiful scenery on the entire island, and everyone likes to gather here to chat and play; on the other hand, it is also to accompany Ieta who cannot leave the windmill tower room, so that she will no longer suffer from loneliness.

So, sometimes Metien would sit on the tree stump here to read and study, Shemi would ride on the lamb to look for a primrose he liked in the flower field, Shesta or Shelia would often bring snacks or clothes they made to Yieta, Olvera would come to check on the violet seeds she planted in the small garden every few hours, Saint Xia Liya would come to chat with Yieta, and Alice always liked to occupy the angel's room to play games... There were also birds singing, insects chirping, and even squirrels or rabbits that accidentally jumped out of the woods and bumped into the flower field, making panicked cries. The place was always shrouded in a lively atmosphere.

But this atmosphere has completely disappeared now. Standing on the ridge at the edge of the flower field, Linger looked around. In his sight, apart from the falling primrose petals, he could not see any human figure. An air of emptiness, loneliness and solitude enveloped the place, scaring away the birds in the trees even if they wanted to land, and scaring away the small animals in the forest even if they wanted to play in the flower field. The source of this air was undoubtedly from the interior of the windmill tower.

As the owner of this flower field, apart from Yieta, no one else could change the atmosphere here so drastically just by her mood swings. Yieta protected this sky island and all the creatures on it with her royal power [Great Wind], so relatively speaking, her mood would also affect the state of the island, just like the sky above the Ronin Rift was always surrounded by a violent storm belt that no one could pass through, which was the result of Yieta's self-doubt, self-isolation and self-loathing.

At least it should be said that compared to her past, the current Miss Angel is much more cheerful. At least, when she is in a bad mood, her ability will not affect the entire island, but only the flower field area where the windmill tower is located.

In the past, Lingge thought that there was only budding spring, prosperous summer and withered autumn on Yunjingkong Island, but no cold and harsh winter. But now it may be time to change the statement: the angel’s bad mood is a symbol of the island entering winter.

The purpose of coming here is to make winter go away early.

Lingge sighed quietly in his heart, then took a step forward and walked along a winding path trampled out by people in the field, heading towards the windmill tower house in the deepest part of the flower field.

The primroses all over the mountains gradually submerged his back.

　Give me some meow
