Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 664: Is it left to you to take care of?
Shesta and Lingge looked back and found that Neviel had appeared at the door at some point, and the words just now came from her mouth.

"You're going with Miss Shesta?" Linger was a little surprised. Actually, this was his original plan. After all, the Countess, who possessed the power of a demigod, was already the strongest person on the entire Cloud Whale Island. If she accompanied him, safety would be guaranteed. But Linger didn't expect her to take the initiative to recommend herself. He was still thinking about how to convince her.

"Why, is it not possible?" Nevile raised her eyebrows slightly and asked back.

Ling Ge shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. It's just that if you leave Yunjingkong Island, what will happen to Leticia?"

This is a very real problem.

There were still three days until the end of May. According to the changes in the moon phases, there would definitely be a full moon within these three days. Accompanying Shesta to the Gospel Convent to discuss this matter with Pancras, the founder and manager of the shelter, the round trip alone would take more than three days. In other words, if Nevill left Cloud Whale Sky Island at this time, she would not be able to catch up with Leticia's reincarnation.

As we all know, after Leticia's reincarnation, the only person she remembered was her grandmother. Except for Nevile, no one could bring a sense of security to the girl who had lost her memory. When such a sensitive and suspicious girl wakes up and finds herself in a strange place, and she can't sense her grandmother's presence around her, who can guarantee that she won't do anything extreme?

"Don't you still have it, Mr. Ling?"

Nevi looked at the young man with a meaningful look and said, "Don't forget, you have already accepted my commission. You will take good care of the child on my behalf until Leticia's next reincarnation, okay?"

"Me?" Ling Ge was startled at first, then frowned after realizing what was happening: "But I remember there was no such requirement in the commission."

Alice... As soon as this name came out of her mouth, Lingge couldn't help but shudder. He nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. Then you will accompany Miss Shesta to the Gospel Convent to persuade Mr. Pancras. As for Leticia, I will find a way to take good care of her. Please rest assured, Miss Nevi."

According to the mission requirements, he only needs to offer a prayer for the girl's soul when she reincarnates. Other matters are not within his scope of responsibility. Even if he wants to take this responsibility, I'm afraid Leticia won't be happy, right?
"But you are an adventurer, Mr. Ling." Nevill laughed softly, and her laughter was as charming and illusory as moonlight: "Adventurers always have to meet the client's capricious requests, don't they?"

"I feel relieved."

"Besides," Nevi'er added, "If you don't want me to go with Miss Shesta, then we have to entrust this mission to someone else. But who else on Yunjingkong Island can take on the responsibility of guarding? Miss Saint Xia Liya? Miss Aoweila? Or do you want to give the task to Miss Alice?"

So what kind of profession is an adventurer?

Nevile's lips curved into a playful arc. She turned her head to look at the proprietress and nodded gracefully: "We may have to spend some time alone together. Thank you for your guidance, Miss Shesta."

"Oh, it's the same for me." The landlady was like a lady, with curved eyebrows and a smile without showing her teeth: "Can I entrust my safety to you, Miss Nevile?"

"Of course, I'll do my best~" "Then please do your best~"

These two guys...

Lingge looked at Shesta on the left and at Nevi'er on the right, feeling helpless: it was clear that he didn't have to do anything, but the young man inexplicably felt that he was the most tired person.

……

Is there anything more tiring in the world than taking care of a girl?
The answer is to take care of a sensitive girl with a weird temper, who is like a powder keg that can explode at any time and may lose her memory at any time. Her trouble level can be described by a hundred Alices.

After finalizing the candidates for the departure, the two men did not delay too long and decided to set off that day.

Shesta handed over the daily maintenance of the hotel and the work in the herb garden to her two sisters, and brought some primroses that can be found everywhere on Yunjingkong Island as a gift. Fairies all like this beautiful flower; Nevill informed her granddaughter that she would be away for a few days, and asked her to be well behaved and listen to the teacher (Saint Charia) and temporary guardian (Lingge) in the next few days. For the sake of her grandmother, although she was not happy, the little vampire girl reluctantly nodded and agreed.

Of course, it was useless to agree now. After all, women are good at forgetting their promises. This is their nature, and Leticia is the best among them. Even if she doesn't forget it on her own initiative, the curse will force her to forget it. So being well-behaved now doesn't mean that she will be well-behaved in a few days. Ling Ge can only pray that he can control the situation by then and not let her make too much trouble. If it really doesn't work, he can lead her to the forest and let her harm the flowers, trees and those innocent animals.

After getting ready, Shesta and Nevill left the Whale Island and headed for the Kenkville Greenland where the Three Mountains were located. It was next to the Seven Stars, the poorest area in the entire capital, and was a suburb of the suburbs of Renwitin. Although it had an ancient and glorious history and the excavated ancient relics were everywhere in the wilderness, the history alone could not be converted into economic benefits. So far, only farmers, shepherds, fishermen, small vendors, craftsmen, jugglers and even Moryas lived here. It was not until the celebration period in July and August every year that the citizens of Renwitin would turn their attention here, but they only came here to enjoy the holidays.

The residents living here are not even considered Renwithin, but rather the crude "Oz" to describe the rustic accents that they inadvertently reveal in their daily conversations. Of course, to the proud citizens of the capital, anyone outside the city cannot be considered Renwithin, so they not only laugh at the Oz in Kenkwell Green, but also at the barbarians north of the Morgan Wall, the mole people under the Donets Mine, and the shepherds on the Grey Rues Plain... Sometimes even residents from different city districts laugh at each other, for example, residents of Westminster laugh at residents of Whitebridge as "descendants of murderers" simply because a sensational serial murder case broke out in this neighborhood in the last century.

In short, there is no one that the people of Renwitin do not laugh at. They even make up such ridicule into ballads or mix it into the daily shouting of vendors, treating these foreign country bumpkins with implicit and unreserved malice. If you do not understand some of the local slang and sarcastic techniques, you are not even worthy of living in this city. This is the fundamental reason why Renwitin is considered the oldest and most elegant city in the entire Westland, and the people of Renwitin are considered the most unwelcome people in the entire Westland.

However, nothing is absolute in this world, and this kind of discrimination is actually a good thing for Lingge and others.

Because the 13th Dragon Riders stationed in the capital seemed to have inherited the good virtues of the citizens and did not extend their airtight blockade network to these areas that were even more remote than the suburbs. It was not known whether the religious alliance was influenced by the bureaucracy of the royal government, or whether they felt that the residents here did not need protection. In short, this laxity provided considerable convenience for Shesta and Nevi's journey.

Although there are still churches belonging to the seven orthodox churches scattered in towns and villages, their number is too small and they can only play a symbolic role. They cannot pose any threat to Nevi'er who has the strength of a demigod.
