Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 672 Is it all human’s fault?
That year, Beth became the light.

Literally.

So, this is what is meant by "disappearing like light"? I originally thought it was an exaggeration unique to religious people, but I didn't expect it to be the truth.

In this way, the emergence of the Fuling Cult seems not difficult to understand. Just imagine that as a relative of the deceased, facing the death of relatives and friends, you are immersed in the pain and sorrow of being separated from them forever, but through your tearful eyes you see a dazzling and sacred light descending on the body of the deceased, driving away the lingering dark death aura, soothing your soul, and bringing you a feeling of warmth and encouragement. Wouldn't you think this is a revelation, a miracle, or even a confession from God?

Although this is a beautiful misunderstanding, in fact, the photon elves are driven by instinct to purify the negative low-energy magic, but often, people often need to give themselves a kind of comfort to survive in this cruel world. Therefore, the ancestors of the ancient Fabia Desert regarded the photon elves as the messengers of the sun and purification, the comforters and guides of the deceased, and derived the teachings of the Voodoo Religion and "rebirth after death". Presumably, in the kingdom of the Voodoo Sun, there are not only pure souls, but also their blessings and wishes for their relatives and friends.

"However, the photon elves' ability to photonize consumes a lot of magic power, so they cannot maintain this form for a long time. Usually, the most skilled photon elves can only maintain it for about half a minute." Shesta said, looking up at the dazzling golden nebula in the sky, and counted down with a smile: "Five, four, three, two, one, end."

"Hey!"

As soon as the voice fell, every point of light in the golden nebula in the sky quickly flowed back along the original trajectory, outlining a petite and exquisite figure. The next moment, Best shouted and turned from light back into a fairy, and then said complacently to the people who were still in a daze: "How is it? Is it super powerful? Let me tell you, I haven't used my full strength yet! The photonization of the photon elves can be superimposed, because the high-energy magic itself is pure enough and will not form a repulsive effect. Next time, I will let you see the light giant form of our three photon elves!"

“Oh my god!” Alice was shocked when she heard this: “So you are also a super ancient warrior!?”

"Super ancient warrior?" Best looked confused: "What is that?"

What's going on here? Why are we chatting for no apparent reason? And isn't the person who transformed into the ancient marine warrior Aguru Rorona... No, no, how did I get dragged into this?

"Oh, oh, oh!" Best nodded repeatedly, with a look of anticipation on her face: "It turns out that not only our Photon Elves have this ability, but the Mirror Elves also have it. Super ancient warriors, it sounds very powerful, and it fits the temperament and strength of me, Best!"

Ling Ge shook his head repeatedly and threw those ridiculous thoughts out of his mind.

"They are some of the same Photon Elves as you. They have the power to transform into giants of light. They love peace and are messengers of justice who take it as their duty to protect mankind. I know a mirror elf named Galene in the Azure Sea. She can transform into the super ancient ocean warrior Aguru. I'll introduce her to you when I have the chance."

At this time, Beimin, who had been listening silently, suddenly snorted coldly, turned her back to everyone, and muttered to herself in a deliberately low voice that everyone could still hear: "I don't care what super ancient warriors are, but humans are not worth protecting at all! The same goes for the idiot eldest sister. Why is she chatting so happily with a human?"

"Bemin!"

This sentence undoubtedly poured cold water on the happy atmosphere. The good-tempered second sister Belphie couldn't help but scold her at this time, with an angry look on her face: "How can you say such rude words in front of guests? Didn't I teach you what is polite?"

After scolding her sister, she turned around and apologized to the guests - mainly to the human guests who were ridiculed: "I'm sorry, although Beimin's words were a bit excessive, she didn't mean any harm. I will teach her a lesson later, and I hope you can forgive her for her slip of the tongue." "Uh, hahaha, no, it's okay."

Metien smiled awkwardly and waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that it was not a big deal.

Seriously speaking, although there were three humans present, the only one who felt really embarrassed was the pink-haired little girl. Ringer and Alice were completely indifferent. The former didn't care about the little girl's angry words (even though the little girl's biological age was probably several times his), and the latter was simply shameless.

So sometimes, being too shameless is not a good thing.

"What did I say wrong?" After being scolded by her second sister, Beimin did not restrain herself. Instead, she glared at Lingge in dissatisfaction. No one knew why she targeted Lingge. Maybe it was because he looked more like a team leader. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. At this time, he naturally had to represent others to face the questioning: "If it weren't for humans, how could our family be torn apart? If it weren't for humans, how could we leave our hometown? If it weren't for humans, if it weren't for humans... Ugh!"

When she said this, she seemed to recall something sad, and her eyes suddenly turned red, but her bangs were long so it was not noticed, and she turned her head away in time before she cried, not wanting others to see her embarrassed posture. However, from her rapid breathing and violent heaving of her chest, everyone could still see that she was not calm at the moment.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat stagnant. Even the Whale Island that was descending seemed to have stopped sinking and fell into a state of stillness. Belphie looked at everyone with an apologetic look, and then looked at her younger sister with a sad look. Her lips opened and closed several times, but she could no longer calmly say various words to smooth things over like before.

Linger had a vague guess about the truth of the matter, but he did not speak out, because he thought it would be more appropriate to let the parties involved explain themselves. The proprietress probably felt the same way, so she remained silent.

Sure enough, a faint sigh suddenly came from above my head: "Alas."

Everyone looked up when they heard the voice, only to see Bester folding her arms across her chest, floating down slowly in a sitting position in the air, and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, everyone. Although Beimin's words were too radical, they were not without reason. If you don't mind, I can explain it to you, but it's a long story."

Then just make it short - Alice almost blurted out, but considering that the atmosphere was not appropriate, she shut her mouth obediently and started pretending to be dead.

"Then I'll keep the story short."

As a result, Best said what she wanted to say, and explained the meaning of the four words "long story short" in a very simple sentence, instead of making a long speech like Alice did: "In short, the cult invaded the civilized ecology of the Fabia Desert, slaughtered the aliens wantonly, suppressed the Fuling religion, caused the local aliens to be displaced, and the Fuling believers were forced into exile. The entire faith environment was almost torn apart, and there is no possibility of healing."

really.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lingge - or rather everyone - had the same thought in their mind: it was all the fault of the united cult.
