Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 673: Back to the ground?

The feud between the united cult and the aliens can only be described as a blood feud.

Therefore, the plot development was within Linger's expectations: the power of the united cult extended to the remote Fabia Desert, and the Fuling Religious State, which was formed by the union of the indigenous tribes, was unable to stop the invasion of advanced steam technology and magic technology. As this ancient and mysterious country was forced to open its doors to welcome the new international era, the shadows of the Night Watch and the Balance of Order also followed, and began to continue their usual practice of slaughtering the aliens in the desert and creating a paradise for mankind.

But unlike other places, there was no conflict between the natives and the aliens in the Fabia Desert, and there was no talk of competing for living space. The followers of the Fuling Cult even regarded the photon elves as messengers of God and worshiped them. Therefore, the slaughter by the Night Watchmen and the Balance of Order undoubtedly aroused the resistance of the locals, and their protection of the aliens was perhaps also regarded by the other side as a betrayal of their own race and position, so the conflict between the two sides gradually intensified to the point of being irreconcilable.

The final result was naturally the defeat of the indigenous people and the extinction of the native aliens. After all, can you expect a primitive and backward tribal alliance country to fight against the powerful religious alliance? Even the belief of the Fuling religion was suppressed to the point of dying. The religious alliance used the power of capital and weapons to invade the indigenous people's faith. Therefore, long before the promulgation of the "Religious Decree", those Fuling believers had already left their homes and became displaced.

The three photon elf sisters of the Gospel Academy left the Fabia Desert and wandered around in that turbulent era. In order to avoid the pursuit of the silver mad dogs, their family was torn apart and divided into dozens of different small groups, each fleeing. However, because they were not familiar with the human world outside the Fabia Desert, the three ignorant sisters actually ran into the center of the united power of the cult - the land of Lunkwell, which was no different from walking into a trap.

As a result, their whereabouts were exposed and they were bitten by the silver mad dog. When they were about to die, they were rescued by the proprietress Shesta who was traveling here. She helped them join the new family of the Gospel Convent, and they barely got a place to stay.

After listening to this uprooted journey, perhaps you can understand why little sister Beimin harbors such great malice towards humans.

Just like what she said: If there were no human beings. There are many possibilities to follow this sentence, but there is no doubt that each possibility is better than being in a foreign country and being afraid all the time.

The atmosphere was a little quiet for a while, no one spoke, perhaps they didn't know what to say. Shemi looked up at Beimin hiding behind Belphie, and then looked down at her friend Metien who looked embarrassed and sympathetic. After thinking about it, she felt that she should do something to change Beimin's impression of humans. Although they are all humans, there are differences. There are bad people like the Church Union, but there are also good people like Metien. How can we generalize?
Beimin is a fairy, and I am also a fairy; Beimin is the youngest sister, and I am also the youngest sister; Beimin is very cute, and I am also cute... The two have so many things in common, so she should listen to what I say, right?
She was about to speak when Best, the eldest of the three photon elves, suddenly coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention: "Okay, why are you talking about such a heavy topic all of a sudden? Beimin, you should also be more open-minded. Don't you like Shesta very much? In this case, could the human that Shesta trusts be a bad guy like the Cult Union? Or do you not trust Shesta's judgment?"

"Ling Ge." The young man said expressionlessly, "This is my name."

"Oh, Metien, what a nice name, and short one, I'll remember it!" Best nodded vigorously, and then said to her two sisters, "Did you remember it too?"

Beimin snorted and turned her head away, not looking at her elder sister, muttering, "There is no such thing."

"Lingge? Oh, what a nice name, and it's short. I'll remember it!" Best nodded vigorously, then looked away and looked at Metien, who introduced herself quickly: "My name is Metien, I'm Lingge's sister and Shemi's good friend, Miss Best, please give me your guidance! Ah, and Miss Belfi, Miss Beimin, please give me your guidance as well!"

"If there is no such thing, then it means that you also believe in these humans, right? In that case, don't be willful. Come, apologize to these guests." Best made the final decision, and then set her eyes on Lingge: "It's this gentleman with a paralyzed face. Uh, what's your name? I think I forgot to ask."

After saying that, she stared at her younger sister with a suspicious look, as if she wanted to see through her guilty conscience. Shesta smiled, not caring at all that Best was using her name to bully others.

I was just about to praise you for your high emotional intelligence, but I didn't expect you to be on the same level as Alice.

Belphie smiled and nodded, while she pressed her little sister's head with both hands, forcibly turning her head, nodding it up and down like a clockwork puppet, completely ignoring her reluctant expression: "Remember, Miss Metine, I hope we can become good friends."

“Woo, woo (That’s not what I wanted to say)!”

Beimin struggled hard, but it was of no use. The seemingly weak Belphie clamped her crown and chin tightly, and was vaguely increasing her strength. Her gentle eyes seemed to be hinting: "If you don't behave, I'll break your neck." Well, it was more than just a hint, she said it directly.

Beimin stopped struggling.

Best ignored the strange expressions on everyone's faces and continued to move her gaze to the side. After landing on Alice, she quickly jumped to Olvera and said, "What's the name of this beautiful lady? Although you don't look like a human, it doesn't matter. We can get to know each other!"

“Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean!?” Before Olvera introduced herself, Alice shouted unhappily, “Why did you jump over me?”

"Oops, you discovered me."

Best scratched her hair and smiled brightly: "I don't know why, but I always feel that you are very similar to me, so I don't really want to talk to you."

Ah this.

Are you disparaging Alice or yourself?
“I see.” Alice nodded in agreement: “That makes sense.”

It seems that Best was right.

With Alice and Best's jokes, the originally tense atmosphere eased a little, and then the others introduced themselves one after another, and they got to know each other. I don't know if it was because the second sister Belphie's threat was too brutal, or because she listened to the advice of the eldest sister Best, but in the following conversation, Belmin didn't say anything to make the atmosphere tense, but she still deliberately kept a distance from the three humans present, especially Lingge.

With the help of Shemi, Medien tried hard to build a good relationship with her, and kept asking her various things about the photon elves. This enthusiastic attitude made Beimin a little unbearable. She wanted to hide behind her sister, but then Belphie clamped her throat and she couldn't move.

After losing her memory in reincarnation, Leticia became friends with Medien again, but she was still not used to communicating with strangers. After introducing herself, she squatted on the cupboard in the corner and watched the scene silently. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little jealous.

One can’t help but sigh that the friendship between little girls is so pure.

Not long after, the wind outside the windmill tower seemed to weaken slightly, and the speed at which Yunjing Sky Island was descending gradually slowed down.

A certain angel lady appeared at the corner of the stairs, sticking her head out. In her white hair that was blown by the wind, there was a strand of hair that stood up tenaciously. But she was still unaware and shouted to the people downstairs: "Lingge, and everyone else!"

"We're almost on the ground, huh?"

　Give me some meow
