Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 671: Have you entered invincible mode?

Is it possible that three sisters is a very popular setting among the goblins? Ling Ge sometimes wondered so.

Although the photon elves are named "elves", they are actually fairies. According to the introduction of the proprietress Shesta, this is a very special ethnic group that generally lives in the Fabia Desert north of the Fuling Religion Kingdom. The residents of that country and that area are extremely xenophobic and still adhere to the traditional tribal alliance system. It is difficult for outsiders to get into their lives, let alone understand those ancient religious myths and traditional customs. The existence of photon elves is the most important component of the polytheism system of the "Fuling Religion".

"The core doctrine of the Fuling religion is 'rebirth after death'. They advocate the cycle of day and night, and regard the sun as the supreme true god in the world, while the moon is the dark side of everyone's heart, and can also be considered a reflection of the soul. When the moonlight is swallowed by the sunlight at dawn, it means that the human soul has been purified and will gain eternal life in the kingdom of the sun. The photon elves have been considered to be the messengers who perform this purification duty since a long time ago."

Shesta, who had traveled to various places in the Western Continent, including the Fabia Desert, told everyone about the unconventional doctrine that was incompatible with the mainstream religious world in the Western Continent. Her understanding of the Fuling religion might not be deep enough, but it was definitely better than Lingge and others. As for why Best, a native of the Fabia Desert, also listened with her arms folded and nodded deeply, that was an unsolved mystery: "The Fuling believers called the sun Voodoo, and believed that it was the master of light, fire, electricity and all sacred powers, and the photon elves were the messengers who conveyed the oracle for it, so they were called the Voodoo Spirit. The Voodoo Spirit would descend on the night of the dead's long sleep, purify the dead's soul at dawn, make it 'disperse like light', and guide them to the kingdom of Voodoo to receive blessings and gain a new life. Therefore, in the minds of the natives of the Fabia Desert, it enjoys a very lofty status."

Voodoo spirit? Purifying the soul? Guiding the dead?
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all turned their eyes to the three photon elf sisters who had fallen to the ground. Looking left and right, they could not see that they had such ability.

"Is it true?" Shemi asked curiously, "You can really purify the souls of the dead and bring them back to life?"

She asked Beimin, who was also a youngest sister, but the latter obviously did not want to answer such a stupid question. She turned around and faced everyone with her back to the others. So the second sister Belphie hurriedly came out to smooth things over. She smiled and shook her head, denying it, "It's just a misunderstanding of humans. We don't have the ability in this area."

"But there must be a source for misunderstanding, right?" Shemi was very persistent and wanted to get to the bottom of it: "What did you do to make those humans mistakenly believe that you have this ability?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her sideways. They didn't expect Shemi to be able to think of this. Could it be that after a few days of classes, her IQ has finally started to grow? Belfi looked at her approvingly, and then lamented, "Ms. Shemi is really smart. I wonder when our Beimin will become as smart as you."

After hearing this blatant compliment, Xie Mi scratched his cheek in embarrassment and said, "Alas, I'm not as good as you say."

The tone and expression are very similar to Alice.

Beimin quietly rolled her eyes where her sister couldn't see, thinking to herself, I don't want to become like her.

"The photon elves do have the ability to purify, but they don't purify the soul, but rather purify low-energy magic - or, in other words, transform it." Shesta said with a smile, "The so-called low-energy magic is a type of magic whose activity frequency tends to be quiet. This type of magic usually presents a more negative state in the perception of non-magic creatures, such as darkness, illusion, fear, moisture, turbid air, etc., and when creatures die, they will also release similar low-energy magic, which is usually death. People with innate spiritual sensitivity can sense this breath of death even if they don't have magic power. It is more obvious in places such as cemeteries, churches or funeral sites. Photon elves are the opposite of low-energy magic, the embodiment of high-energy magic. They are fairies born from high-energy magic and symbolize the positive side of the world. To non-magic creatures, they are bright, clear, encouraging, and warm. " "Therefore, photon elves are particularly sensitive to low-energy magic. Once they sense the deathly aura emitted by the dead, they will instinctively use their innate blood magic [photonization] to release a large amount of high-energy magic, devour and assimilate the low-energy magic. This process was seen by the ancestors of ancient times, and a strange misunderstanding arose, thus giving rise to the legend of the Voodoo Cult and the Voodoo Spirit. "

It turned out to be the case.

This explanation was easy to understand, even Alice could understand it. The golden maid blinked her eyes and said, "Photonization? What kind of magic is that? Can it summon a Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon?"

“Do you really want to know?” Best suddenly became excited. Although she didn’t know what the Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon was, she still flew into the sky with a whoosh and shouted excitedly: “Everyone, look at me! I have an announcement!”

So everyone raised their heads, showing an interested expression, looking forward to what special skills she would perform. Only Belphie laughed bitterly, with a helpless look on her face, while Beimin simply lowered her head, covered her eyes with her bangs, and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth with difficulty: "This idiot!"

Best didn't care what her two sisters thought. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, she suddenly felt that she had become the focus of the whole place. She became more excited all of a sudden, so she put one hand on her waist and pointed the other hand at the night sky, posing in a classic pose: "Then open your eyes and watch! Three, two, one! Hey, look, I'm turning into light!"

The words fell.

She became light.

This was not a joke. After saying that, Best's entire body disintegrated little by little like a sand castle blown away by the wind. From her hands to her feet, from her hair to her clothes, from her delicate facial features to every tiny pore on her body... all turned into white-gold dots of light that flickered like fireflies. These dots of light were brighter than stardust, and at the same time, smaller than dust. They seemed to drift with the flow, helpless, but they did not dissipate. Instead, they were restrained by a strange force, maintaining a loose but stable structure, and still breathing rhythmically like a living creature, sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing. Overall, it reminded people of the nebula composed of countless stars in the boundless universe, brilliant and blurred.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, unable to believe what they saw. Alice even let out a "Wow" sound, and it was hard to tell whether the tone of her voice expressed shock or had some other deeper meaning.

"This is the innate magic of the photon elves: [Photonization]," Xiesta's voice came slowly. "Through some special method, all the tissues and organs of the body, from blood to bones, from flesh to hair, are transformed into the purest high-energy magic. In the photon state, they have all the properties of high-energy magic: they can neither affect the outside world nor be interfered with by the outside world. In Alice's words, they are probably in an invincible state, right?"
