Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 668: Is it a big deal?
Just like that, Metien made a new friend.

For unknown reasons, after this reincarnation, Leticia's temperament changed drastically. Not only did she become much quieter, she was even able to study patiently. She no longer got distracted in class and would ask questions seriously. Although she still liked to question the authenticity of fairy tales, she had made great progress compared to before. This made Saint Charlia, her teacher, very pleased, but also made Lingge, who witnessed this change with his own eyes, feel baffled: Could it be that there really is some profound philosophy hidden between life and death that is enough to cause such earth-shaking changes in people?
Then Leticia should have changed a long time ago, why did she delay until now?
No matter what, it's a good thing after all. I believe that when Her Majesty comes back, she will be very pleased to see the changes in her granddaughter, right?
Apart from that, nothing much happened - but Alice gave Lingge a handwritten certificate of achievement in recognition of his contribution as the first registered member of the Adventurer's Guild, and the next day after promising that it would never be repeated, she gave an identical certificate to the "Friendship Long Live Adventure Group" composed of three little girls, Metien, Shemi, and Leticia.

It is worth mentioning that after the general chairman of the Adventurer's Guild and the chief technician jointly launched the concept of "Adventure Group", the adventurer industry on Yunjing Sky Island ushered in a second spring (no one knows when the first spring began and when it ended). Various adventure groups have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, such as the "Non-Human Adventure Group" formed by Little Sun and Little Lamb, the "Gardener Association" formed by the Stone Guards, the "Princess Alliance" formed by Olvera and Rorona, and the "Late Night Symphony Orchestra" formed by potted plants, etc. From the name to the members to the spiritual connotation, they are all full of a magical atmosphere.

Amid the nationwide craze for adventure, in just five days, the Adventurer's Guild of Yunjingkong Island had its first intermediate adventurer. While receiving public praise from the general director Miss Alice, he also received a free glass of water from a receptionist. The luxurious reward was enviable - and, the first adventurer to achieve the achievement of an intermediate adventurer was actually a stone spirit gardener in the herb garden. He accumulated points every day by taking on tasks of fertilizing and watering flowers and plants on the bulletin board, and his biggest client was Princess Bemang, who did not want to reveal her name.

It is said that the General Chairman is discussing cooperation with Miss Yieta, the largest land owner of Yunjing Sky Island, and is preparing to establish an adventurer branch on the other side of the sky island - although no one knows why there is a need to establish this branch less than one kilometer away.

It seems that although Alice's work this time was pretty bad, it was still novel, so Ling did not express any objection.

After a week of leisurely daily life, the proprietress Shesta and Countess Nevill, who were sent to the alien shelter - the Gospel Convent, finally returned to Yunjing Sky Island and brought the group an expected good news.

"Lord Pancras agreed to my request and allowed us to temporarily dock the Cloud Whale Sky Island in the Gospel Monastery. He also promised to provide us with assistance when necessary, provided that it does not involve a fight with the cult and does not involve other innocent aliens in the shelter."

In the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Shesta announced the good news to her companions gathered there.

After hearing the news, the others were happy, but Linger frowned: it was not that the conditions were not good enough, but that they were too good. Linger thought that Lord Pancras's agreement to let them stay in the Evangelical Convent temporarily was already a big concession. After all, they were not only outsiders, but also a thorn in the eyes of the united church, and could easily bring disaster to this hidden shelter.

Linger looked away silently: "No."

It always feels very suspicious.

"Oh." Shesta suddenly leaned forward and looked at the young man in front of her with a smile from a very close distance, but there was clearly no smile in her eyes: "I always feel that Mr. Ling is thinking about something very rude?"

But what I didn't expect was that he was willing to provide extra help. Why? Although I had heard from Shesta that Lord Pancras was a kind and benevolent elder, there was no need for him to be so lenient, right? Wasn't he afraid of causing trouble for the shelter?
At this happy moment, Lingge did not pour cold water on his partners, but cast an inquiring look at the proprietress, but the latter responded with a mysterious smile and did not intend to explain in detail.

Once we get to the Evangelical Seminary, the answer to the question will naturally be revealed. Besides, although the proprietress has a sinister and evil personality, she shouldn't murder us.

Ling Geliu raised an eyebrow but didn't pursue the matter further.

"really?"

"real."

"uh-huh?"

"..." Ling Ge began to sweat coldly. He subconsciously stepped back, while Xiesta pressed forward. He fled and she chased him. He gradually had no way to retreat...

"Too close." A pair of eyes stared at Shesta, muttering, "Too close."

"Hey, Xia? What did you say just now?"

The proprietress gave up on Linger, came up to Saint Shallia, and asked with a smile.

Saint Shalia silently looked away: "Nothing."

"really?"

"real."

"uh-huh?"

"..."

The exact same plot is happening now.

The bartender behind the bar couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she closed her eyes and stopped watching, silently lamenting in her heart: Poor Ling Ge and Xiao Xia, they are being played around by their elder sister.

At this time, Nevill, who was enjoying the family happiness with her granddaughter after a week's absence and checking if there was anything extra in her mind after reincarnation, took over the conversation: "Lord Pancras asked us to go directly to the Three Mountains Realm. He will send an envoy to pick us up. According to the speed of Yunjing Sky Island, it will take at most half a day to arrive, but for safety reasons, it is better to land at night."

This was not a problem. Linger directly asked Saint Xia Liya to inform Yieta who was not present, and helped her get rid of the entanglement of the landlady. The shepherdess gave him a grateful look and hurriedly fled the hotel, not even having time to lead the bleating lamb behind her. This shows how much pressure the landlady brought to her.

Other idle companions gathered around Nevile, asking her all kinds of questions, such as, what kind of shelter is the Gospel Convent? Are there many aliens there? What kind of person is the owner of the Gospel Convent, Lord Pancras? What did you do during your week at the Gospel Convent?
As to these questions—Nevermind answered any of them.

"You will know then."

She said meaningfully, "That's an interesting place. As for that Lord Pancras, I can't say what kind of person he is, but at least he has a very important background."

Is it a big deal? How big is it?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: Could it be greater than the Silver-Eyed Countess of the Shiqilia Peninsula and the Blood-Fanged Ancestor of the Metosh Empire?
