Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 571 Is it your loss?

Lorena wanted to talk to Alice about material things, saying that she could take whatever she liked, but Alice wanted to talk to her about feelings, saying that she didn't want anything but you. This was a far more vulgar emotional drama than the ones written by third-rate novelists, which confused the onlookers. They watched them hesitating and dithering with numb faces.

"Ha, ha, are you kidding, Miss Alice? I'm talking about all the items in this workshop, but I'm not an item, okay?"

"Come with me, I will help you realize your dream!" Alice played the dream card, even though this guy didn't even know what Lorena's dream was.

"Well, I am flattered by Miss Alice's kindness to me, but I am sorry that I have no intention of leaving Lotdana City yet..."

"Come with me, food and lodging are provided!" Alice played the card of free food and lodging, borrowing the influence of the traveling fairies to create her own generous personality, although this condition sounded very unattractive.

"Well... I'm living well in Rothdana City, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. And we weren't discussing this topic just now, right? Miss Alice, have you ever considered agreeing to my conditions..."

Rorona tried to bring the topic back, but Alice didn't listen to her at all. She just kept talking to herself, "Come with me! We have a lot of beautiful girls on our island: literary princesses, innocent country girls, forgetful vampires... we have everything you want. If you don't like beautiful girls, there's also Lingge, the Asian male protagonist. Come on, Lingge, give her the whole job!"

Okay, let me give you the whole job.

Lingge walked over without saying a word, expressionlessly pulled away Alice's hand that was holding Lorena, and then grabbed her collar, ignoring the golden-haired maid's curses, and handed her over to Saint Shalia behind him. The shepherdess smiled gently, gently stroked Alice's head, and then... with a click, the world became quiet.

"Lingge, why are you like this!" Alice, who was lying on Saint Shallia's shoulder pretending to be dead, raised her head and waved her fist to protest: "I've never seen you so easy to talk to before. Now you agree to it without thinking. Are you attracted by Lorena's beauty? I tell you, Lorena, this person has bad intentions. Don't be fooled by him. It's safest to follow me..."

The world was quiet again. Saint Shallia silently withdrew her hand and smiled without saying a word.

Having finally gotten rid of Alice's entanglement, Rorona breathed a sigh of relief, and there was more gratitude in her eyes when she looked at Lingge. It can be seen that the power of the golden-haired maid when she was sick was indeed huge, and she could make the mirror elf girl who always seemed calm and composed show such an embarrassed expression.

"Oh?"

Lingge didn't answer, but just nodded slightly.

"Crack!"

"Don't take her words to heart." Linger asked, "When do you plan to return to Nereids?"

When Lorena heard this, her eyes lit up: "Do you agree?"

Rorona glanced at Alice, who was lying on Saint Shallia's shoulder pretending to be dead (this time she might really be dead), and then looked back at Linge, who had an expressionless face. Suddenly, her eyebrows curved, and there was a hint of teasing in her sweet smile: "Is this true, Mr. Linge? Alice said that you have bad intentions towards me, but is there anything on me that is worthy of your covetousness?"

As she spoke, she wrapped the blanket tightly around her thighs, tried to curl up in the wheelchair, and pretended to look pitiful, which made Lingge speechless. If he had known, he would not have helped her pull Alice away.

He rubbed his brows with a headache, trying to make his tone sound calm: "I said, there is no need to take that guy's words to heart. I am helping you only because I am interested in the products you mentioned. If they are really as magical as you said, I am afraid they will be of great help to our future journey. Of course, we are only a temporary cooperative relationship. If your mother and sister are determined, we can't argue with them for your dream. I hope you can understand this." "I understand, I understand very much." Rolena put away her pitiful posture, put her hands together with a smile, and bowed to Lingge while sitting in the wheelchair: "Anyway, thank you very much for your help. As long as you are willing to testify for me, it will be enough. As for how to convince your mother and sister, leave it to me. After all, I already have experience!"

"That's good."

Linger said.

Saint Shallia, who had been silent the whole time, looked at the young man deeply, and felt that his reason was not as simple as it seemed. Was Lingge the kind of person who would casually agree to unreasonable requests just because he coveted other people's things? If so, there would be no need for her to spend so much effort to convince him to go to Rostin City. So there must be another reason. Could it be...like Alice said, he had bad intentions towards Miss Rolena! ?
The shepherdess was startled, and then subconsciously put her hand on Alice's neck, causing the golden-haired maid who was about to regain consciousness to feel a sudden chill, her limbs stiff and cold, and the hair on her back standing on end, as if something bad was about to happen.

Click!

Her body trembled violently, and then she was still.

A gentle way to kill Alice.

……

Surprisingly, Lorena looked weak on the outside, but she was actually a resolute and determined person on the inside. Seeing that Lingge and the other two had agreed to her request, she directly suggested that they could set off today. It just so happened that Lingge and the others also had to return to Yunjing Sky Island to meet up with their companions, so they did not raise any objections. So, the mirror elf girl pushed her wheelchair, took the empty sea shell that could store items, and began to pack her luggage.

She first went to the back room to pack some items, which she said were the tools and materials needed for alchemy. Then she returned to the workshop and cleared all the tools and drawings on the workbench. Finally, she picked up a few items on the shelf that might be helpful for this journey. After putting all the above-mentioned items into the small white shell, she put the shell into her sleeve and said to the guests with a smile, "That's it."

"Uh, is this all right?" Alice, who had revived with full health, scratched the back of her head and looked at the workshop that seemed to have not changed. She asked hesitantly, "You're not taking the other goods? These are all powerful items. If you leave them here like this, aren't you afraid that thieves will come and visit?"

"No need." Rorona smiled and shook her head. "My workshop is very remote. There are not many customers, let alone thieves. Besides, I'm not moving. I'm just going home. I'll be back soon. If I move it back and forth like this, it will be troublesome to clean it up later, so I'll just leave it here for now."

Alice thought about it carefully. Why would a thief steal from such a poor store? They didn't know the magic of magic props. When they pushed the door open, they found that the shelves were full of worthless gadgets. They might even refuse to buy them for free.

She was relieved, patted her chest, and said something that broke the moral limit of humanoid creatures. Sheng Tumi would cry after hearing it, and Fei Yemente wanted to fire: "That's good. If so many props were stolen, my loss would be huge."

Wait, wait, wait, please explain yourself clearly. Who is the one who suffered the loss?

Rorona's expression when she heard this was one of astonishment mixed with a hint of confusion, confusion mixed with a hint of hesitation, and hesitation mixed with a hint of shock. In short, her mood was complicated. As for Ling Ge and Saint Xia Liya... well, they were used to it.

In short, Lorena closed her workshop, hung a "Closed" sign on the door, and followed the three strangers on a journey back home that was destined to be unforgettable.

At this moment, she has not yet realized that the starting point of this journey is not in the midsummer of Rothdana City, but much longer ago; as for the end point, it is not in Nereids, but somewhere farther away.
