Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 663 Would it be better for me to go?
"Want to find a suitable place to land on Cloud Whale Sky Island?"

After hearing Lingge's intention, the proprietress Xiesta, who was preparing the ingredients for dinner, put down the kitchen knife in her hand, tapped her lips with her finger, and said while thinking: "Let me think, I do know some aliens in the Lunweiting area, but they are relatively weak, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to provide help, and after so many years, I don't know if they are still there..."

After hearing what the landlady said, Ling Ge thought that there was no hope and that he would have to think of another way. But suddenly, Shesta uttered a soft "eh" as if she remembered something: "Ah, but everyone from the Gospel Convent should still be here. If it's Lord Pancras, maybe he would be willing to help us?"

"Evangelical College? Lord Pancras?"

To Lingge, both names were unfamiliar. The difference was that he had never heard of the former, but he had a vague impression of the latter, as if he had seen the name in a history book. Of course, it was definitely not an orthodox history book, but rather a far-fetched and unofficial history, so it was not very credible. When Lingge was in college, he would occasionally read it when he was bored, and did not take the exaggerated content to heart.

Shesta explained to the young man, "The Gospel Convent is an alien shelter located in the Three Mountains. It is also the largest alien shelter in the Lunwitin area. Lord Pancras is the founder and manager of this shelter. He protects many weak aliens and demons with his benevolent light, protecting them from the cruelty of the Night Watchmen and the Scales of Order. He is a respectable elder."

A shelter for aliens? When Ling Ge heard this, his first reaction was: "Like the Void Root Swamp?"

"There is still a difference." Shesta shook her head. "Although the Evangelical Seminary is also a shelter built by many different races, the overall atmosphere is much more harmonious than the Virtual Root Swamp, where internal strife is serious, because of the coordination of Lord Pancras. Moreover, although the Evangelical Seminary is 30 kilometers away from the city of Lunwitin, it is still within the sphere of influence of the united sects. The Night Watchmen and the Balance of Order, who are eyeing them covetously, will not leave them any energy for internal strife. Only by uniting together can they survive in this place where they are closest to their natural enemies."

Although the Hollow Root Swamp is also very close to the headquarters of the Inquisition, the Temple of Judgment, the natural and political environment of the Shikilia Peninsula is very complex. The aliens living in the swamp believe that the Silver Mad Hounds are unlikely to take huge risks and low rewards to attack them, so they never take their threats seriously and even have the energy to engage in civil strife. Gundaruf, the only one who wants to unite the many aliens, uses too radical means, which ultimately leads to a tragic ending.

Ling wanted to know more about the Gospel Convent (its name really sounded like a church, not a shelter), so he asked, "You just said that the Gospel Convent is located in the Three Mountains. Is it also like the Xugen Swamp, with a remote location, complex terrain, and easy hiding place?"

Ling Ge didn't expect this to happen, and was stunned for a moment: "They built the shelter in a place like this, aren't they afraid of being discovered by humans?"

"this--"

However, Shesta shook her head and said, "That's not the case. The Three Mountains Boundary is just a general name. In fact, it is a plain area sandwiched by the White Mountain, Benton Mountain and Tottel Mountain. These three mountains were considered sacred mountains of the land of Lenkville in ancient times. The White Mountain represents the wisdom of the ancestors, the Benton Mountain represents the prosperity of the tribe, and the Tottel Mountain is the source of the Tywell River that now flows through Lenwitin. To this day, the Three Mountains Boundary still enjoys a special status in the hearts of the people of Lenwitin. It is the most prosperous land in the Kenkville Green Land. Humans have built towns and villages nearby, and regularly hold gatherings and celebrations. There are also traditional Green Grass Celebrations and Autumn Leaves Celebrations in July and August every year, which can attract hundreds of thousands of tourists to visit."

"That's nothing." The proprietress smiled and said, "The Fairy Sleep Inn has been operating in the city of Rostin for more than a hundred years and has never been discovered by the local night watchmen."

This is a critical condition.

That’s different, isn’t it?

Doesn’t the hotel have a magic maze lock you set up?

Ling Ge was about to say this when he suddenly remembered something and his expression changed slightly: Could it be? "It's just what you think, Mr. Ling Ge." Shesta didn't keep him in suspense and nodded to confirm his guess: "The Evangelical Academy also has a similar magic maze, which is the [Ether Curtain] set up by a kind of fairy called Photon Elves. The Photon Elves' innate magic can freely control the refraction of light to create illusions, isolate the flow of magic inside and outside, and thus cover the vision, hearing and magic perception of creatures, achieving the effect of completely hiding themselves. In fact, the magic maze I set up in the hotel is essentially a simple imitation of this kind of light magic. I learned it from several friends of the Photon Elves when I traveled to Lunweiting. In addition, the magic device [Ether Optical Stand] of the cult alliance is based on the same principle, but I don't know whether it was learned from the Photon Elves."

Considering the arrogant character of the cult and their contemptuous attitude towards those who are different, it would probably be difficult.

When Ling Ge heard this, he understood what Shesta was thinking: "Those photon elf friends you mentioned, could it be that they live in the Gospel Convent?"

"Yes, they set up the etheric curtain, which is the foundation of the shelter. Therefore, they have a high status in the Evangelical Convent, second only to the founder of the shelter, Lord Pancras." Shesta said, "Perhaps I can try to contact them and say a few good words to Lord Pancras. With his generous and kind character, I believe he will not refuse our small request, right?"

It sounds like the probability of success is indeed very high.

This is the advantage of having connections. Wherever you go, you feel like you are at home.

Lingge thought of another question: "Metien, Alice and I are all human beings. Is it okay for us to enter the alien shelter?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Shesta smiled and waved her hands, indicating that such a small matter was insignificant. "If it was another shelter, especially one with a deep prejudice against humans, they might mind it, but Lord Pancras would never mind. His Gospel Academy even accepted a hunted magician!"

He is indeed a kind and benevolent elder.

Ling Ge was relieved and asked again: "Then how do you plan to contact those friends?"

"Of course I will go to the Gospel Academy in person. It would be impolite to discuss such an important matter if I just bring a message." Shesta held her cheek with her hand and said while thinking, "In addition, I need someone to accompany me. It's better to be strong so that I can deal with unexpected situations. After all, I am just a travel fairy and I am not good at fighting. As for the others, just wait for my good news on the Cloud Whale Sky Island."

The more people go, the easier it is to be exposed, so two people are indeed a more suitable choice, one responsible for discussing the business, and the other responsible for accompanying protection. But the question is, who is better to let the boss lady protect? Speaking of the strongest people on the island, isn't it——

"I'll go."

A calm voice came from the direction of the kitchen door.

　Give me some meow
