Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 592 Is there no reason to intervene?

"That's basically it."

Since Linger had already guessed it, Galene had no reason to continue hiding it, so she simply nodded and admitted: "Didn't I tell you before that in order to prevent the cult's joint natural disaster detection device from completely blocking the Azure Sea Mirror, Mother had formulated a strategy. Through the channels buried in the human world by the city of Nereides, she secretly guided the local natural disaster mission to gradually shift its focus to mining development, thereby gaining a little breathing space for the aliens under the deep sea. But doing so is not without cost. The most obvious cost is the pollution of the marine environment. Of course, this is due to the unrestrained development and sewage discharge by humans, but it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with our mirror elves."

"And Rorona happens to be someone who values ​​her homeland very much. Or, in other words, she can sense the will of the sea."

Feel the will of the sea?
When everyone heard this, they were confused, but Alice suddenly understood and nodded confidently: "I understand, so Lorena is called Little Aguru."

Galene was puzzled: "What?"

"He is a warrior who symbolizes the light of the ocean among humans. It is said that whenever the world encounters a crisis, this warrior will become one with the light of the ocean and transform into a super ancient Ultraman... No, I mean an Ultraman. He will fight side by side with another Ultraman who likes to destroy the earth to defend the human homeland." Alice talked without stopping, and any humanoid creature with normal intelligence would not believe her nonsense.

"I see." Galene said with emotion, "I didn't expect there to be such a hero among humans. He sounds very similar to the deep-sea prince Mafina in our mirror elf legend."

And she actually believed it.

"However, not all mirror elves have this ability. To be precise, Lorena is the most special one." Galene continued, "Perhaps this has something to do with the divine blood flowing in her body. As a half-child of Crystal Snow, her resonance with the ocean has surpassed all other members of her tribe. So, when the pollution became serious and gradually spread to the open sea, she told us that she dreamed of hearing crying sounds on the sea. That was the sea's lament, and it was also a warning to the creatures living in her body: If you don't curb pollution and purify the ocean in time, one day, this dirty sea water and gray haze will completely devour your homeland, turning it into a ruined abyss, barren of life."

Alice understood: "Is this the reason why she had a falling out with Her Majesty the Queen?"

"It's too serious to say that they had a falling out." Galene shook her head. "Lorana is a very sensible child. She is sad that the ocean is so polluted that it has reached the point where the sea is surging and the sea is wailing, but she also understands that the main responsibility for this lies with humans, and mother is just pushing them from behind. Moreover, this is also for the safety of Nereid City, to defend the integrity of the Azure Mirror, and to protect the millions of creatures living in the sea... a choice that must be made. As the second princess of the Nieride royal family, she has no reason and no position to blame her mother for her actions."

"But it is also impossible to make her indifferent to the sea's wail." Galene's tone gradually became low as she spoke: "So she asked her mother to go to the human city to observe the pollution of the ocean with her own eyes and find ways to purify it. Combined with her previous mention of wanting to go to the human city to find a way to cure the disease, her mother had no reason to object and finally agreed to her request."

"So, she actually has two dreams? One is to find materials in the human world to make medicine that can cure her disease, and the other is to purify the pollution in the ocean." Alice still remembered what Rorona said about her dream. She frowned slightly, her expression was quite solemn: "Sickly, younger sister, Youme, alchemist, environmentalist, Ultraman... She has too many attributes."

Too complicated to be a heroine.

Galene didn't understand what she was saying, but from her tone, she seemed to be expressing worry, so she sighed sadly: "But these two dreams are impossible for her to realize. Because mother will never agree to her returning to the human city, it is too dangerous there. As the second princess of the Nieride court, she must retreat to the open sea with us. This is not only the mother's opinion, but also the opinion of the ministers of the court and all the people in the city. Do you understand what I mean?"

She looked at everyone, but her eyes were more like seeking recognition than asking. But Lingge didn't know what she wanted to be recognized for, so he didn't answer. Others just made some innocuous remarks about this matter, such as "Sister Lorena is so pitiful" or "Her Majesty the Queen is really strict". After all, in a small sense, this is a private matter between mother and daughter; in a big sense, it is related to whether the migration plan of the mirror elves can be successfully completed. And no matter whether it is a big or small matter, it is not something that outsiders like them can comment on. Even if Lorena is really under house arrest, they can't save the girl. They can only feel sorry for her experience and dreams here.

Galene knew this, so she mentioned this to her guests just to confide in them, not expecting them to take any real action. To be honest, if they really did that, she would be the one who would be in a difficult position.

So everyone quickly ended this topic and started discussing other things, such as where to go today. In three days, Nereids City will move to the open sea, and Lingge and his friends will naturally not be able to follow them, so they have to take advantage of this time to take a good tour of the city.

Especially for Lingge, Alice and Saint Xia Liya who were visiting the city for the first time, Metien recommended them to appreciate the tall and gorgeous coral tree in the Blue Coral Palace, or wander in the mysterious and cold sea of ​​flowers in the suburban cemetery. Although Jiale Ne didn't look very interested, she still patted her chest and promised that she would take the guests to tour the city and make them feel at home.

So everyone happily finished their meal and decided to go out to play. But when Alice was about to go out, Ling suddenly called her: "Wait, Alice."

"What are you doing?" The golden-haired maid turned around and said with a teasing look on her face: "Are you going to play with us too? Oh, I told you, how could anyone resist the temptation of a beautiful girl? So many beautiful girls accompanying you shopping alone, aren't you tempted?"

not at all.

Ling Ge was indifferent and just said calmly: "Stay here, I have something to discuss with you."

After saying that, he ignored Alice's angry expression of "Do you know what you are talking about?" and turned his gaze to Saint Shallia: "You stay too, okay, Saint Shallia?"

Why is he so gentle to Xiao Xia? Alice raised her fist in protest, but the shepherdess could more or less guess what Lingge meant, so she nodded and agreed. So, although Metien was very sorry that she couldn't go shopping with her brother, she was sensible and would not make any willful requests, so she left the hotel with her friends. In addition, Nevelle also went with them. After all, Ovella wanted to stay in the hotel to write a novel today. Considering that the little girls might get into trouble without a guardian, the elderly countess had to go out in person to interpret the principle of being strong in old age.

Reluctantly watching the backs of her friends gradually disappear at the end of her sight, their laughter seemed to still echo in the wind. Alice turned back abruptly, stared at Lingge fiercely, and said indignantly: "You'd better give me a suitable reason for me to stay, otherwise, hehe, I can't guarantee what I will do!"

Since her threat was weak and looked like a child's tantrum, Lingge didn't take it seriously. Instead, he looked outside the door and confirmed that the princess had gone far away and could no longer hear the voices here. Then, he said to the important people present in his usual calm tone: "The reason is simple. We have to find a way to see Miss Rolena."

"what!?"

　Give me some meow
