Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 634 Have you ever thought about resisting?
Lingge was sitting on the steps reading a book, while Yieta was sitting by the door watching him. After the brief conversation just now, the two had not spoken a word. Yieta was silent because she was still thinking about something, and Lingge was silent because he was completely absorbed in reading the Canon. His concentration was as if he was really just here to read a book.

The afternoon sun was slightly drunk, sprinkling on the spotless windmill tower, and tiny dust particles sparkled in it, drifting aimlessly like spirits of ash and mist. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the flower field not far away, and the primroses swayed, and a few soft petals floated away. It should be the birds or squirrels that Yieta wanted to see that broke into the flower field and were playing and fighting, but the girl was no longer interested in their existence.

She leaned against the door, hugged her knees with her hands, rested her chin on her arms, and stared at Lingge's back, as if hoping that the young man would notice her and take the initiative to talk to her. But after waiting for a long time, the ideal plot did not happen. The white-haired angel girl was a little dissatisfied and puffed up her cheeks slightly.

"Linger."

She finally couldn't hold it back anymore, and her dry voice sounded behind Lingge.

The young man did not look back, and gently turned the book to the next page: "What's the matter?"

Can't I just call your name?

Sister Xiaoxia can do it, Avra ​​can do it, even Alice can do it, so why can't I?
Yieta's mood suddenly became bitter, although she herself didn't know how this feeling came about. Even her tone when she spoke sounded sour, like someone who had drunk too much vinegar in the kitchen: "Go away! I don't want you to stay here with me anymore!"

She actually started to chase people away.

Ling'er stopped flipping the pages of the book and looked back, but the girl buried her face in her arms, unwilling to face him - or rather, afraid to face him.

When Yieta heard Lingge say the word "leave", her body trembled slightly, and even her voice trembled: "W-what's the matter?"

Ling Ge frowned, listened to her patiently, then gently closed the book and said slowly: "I told you, I'm not here to play, I'm just here to read. But if you really want me to leave, it's not impossible, but you have to promise me one thing."

Her stuttering voice came from under the white feathers: "I, I mean, that, Lingge, you should go accompany Sister Xiaoxia and the others, play with them, instead of staying here with me. It's boring here, there is nothing, and I can't, can't play with you..."

Similar thoughts kept circling in her mind. As soon as one thought died, a new one was born, which made her feel confused and she didn't know what to do. She could feel that Ling'er's eyes were fixed on her. Was he waiting for her explanation? But how should I explain?

This was probably the goddess's punishment for the immature child, she thought in frustration.

At this moment, Yieta felt that her brain and mouth seemed to be completely separated. She clearly didn't think that way in her mind, but when she said it out loud it became another meaning.

Ah, what am I talking about?

In fact, Yieta regretted it when she said it, and she kept complaining in her heart why she said such angry words in a moment of impulse. She was so lonely and depressed just now, and she wanted someone to accompany her, but now she drove that person away with her own mouth. Is this what an angel who is determined to bring happiness to everyone should say? Will Lingge be very angry after hearing such words? Will he really... leave me?

"Just come with me." Lingge said, "Saint Shallia and the others must want you to leave this windmill tower room and go out into the world. And I heard that Alice has also prepared a swimsuit for you. If you don't wear it, she will be very disappointed."

“Eh, eh?”

Yieta was caught off guard and hurriedly raised her head to look at Lingge, with a look of confusion and helplessness on her face: "But, but I can't leave here." "Why?"

"Because of the curse..."

Isn't this something that everyone knows? But Lingge actually asked "why". If Yieta didn't know his character very well, she would have suspected that he was deliberately exposing his scars.

Ling Ge, however, remained calm and said something that shocked her greatly: "Of course I know it's because of the curse, but have you never thought about challenging that curse?"

"What did you say?" Yieta opened her eyes wide: "Challenge the curse?"

"That's right. Don't look so surprised. I think you should be used to this kind of thing. For example, your sister Saint Shalia, although she is always confused about her fate because of the curse, she did not succumb to it. Hundreds of years ago, she wandered around the continent looking for clues to other girl royal powers, and finally found you; Leticia loses her memory every time she reincarnates, but she strives to find new emotions and encounters in each new memory; Rorona, who has just joined the team, is determined that no matter whether the misfortunes in her body are caused by illness or curse, she must rely on her own strength to solve them. For this reason, she left her hometown and embarked on an unknown journey; and Olvera, her curse... Forget it, it's not convenient to disclose this matter, but it can be assumed that she is also working hard to fight against her own curse. In other words, among these girl royal powers, the only one who has no idea about her own curse and even succumbs to its power is you, Yieta."

Linger cited the deeds of the other three people as examples, causing Yieta to lower her head deeply, feeling a little ashamed, and not daring to look directly into the young man's eyes: "Let me ask you again, have you never thought about challenging that curse?"

His gaze was calm, without any condemnation or contempt, just a simple inquiry. However, Yieta felt like a child who had made a mistake in front of him, unable to raise her head, and could only stammer and defend herself: "I, I, this, they... are, they are different. Yes, they are different! Sister Xiaoxia and the others did fight, but, but didn't they all fail? If even they can't succeed, then it's even more impossible for me..."

"No, quite the opposite."

Linger said calmly: "If there is anyone who is most likely to break the curse on you, that person can only be you, Yieta."

When the angel girl heard this, she did not feel happy or excited because she was valued. She just looked at Lingge blankly, not understanding why this young man was so confident in her.

"Because your power doesn't seem to have been weakened too much." Lingge analyzed for her: "According to Fei'er, after they defeated the seven saints of the Holy Goddess, they cursed their souls, making their reincarnated powers weak and unable to obstruct the plans of the Witch Society. Therefore, Xiaoxia's Destiny Kingship, Olvera's Mystery Kingship, Leticia's Eternal Kingship, and Rorona's Creation Kingship have all been weakened to varying degrees. But this weakening is least obvious in your Freedom Kingship. Even now, you can still summon storms, move mountains, and even turn land into giant islands in the sky. This can even be compared to the power of the true gods. Although it cannot be compared with the Girl Kingship in its heyday, it has stood at the pinnacle of the world."

"As a young girl king, there is no reason why the curse cast by the witch must be stronger than your own power. In this case, why don't you try to resist this curse?"

"Walk out of this windmill tower room and give yourself freedom. Even if disasters are brought upon you because of the curse, it doesn't matter. Because no matter what kind of disaster it is, as long as you are willing to fight it with your own strength, you will be able to defeat it."

"So, Yieta, do you want to get out of here?"

Linger pointed in the direction of the laughter in the distance: "Go and play with them. I think this is your truest wish, right?"

Yieta was stunned.

He didn't speak for a long time.
