Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 737 Is it time to take action?
In this way, the arrangements for the infiltration operation were carried out in an orderly manner. On the other side, in a place that Lingge and others could not see, members of the Witch Society were arriving in Lunweiting one after another. A major meeting that would determine the fate of mankind would be held in this city with ancient history and glorious deeds.

On June 1856, 6, Ringer took his partners who had been confirmed to participate in the operation to the Holmes and Watson Detective Agency at 14B Baker Street and introduced them to Miss Gloria to get to know each other so that they could cooperate tacitly in the operation on the 22th. During this meeting, the two sides had a good chat. Miss Gloria's humorous conversation and erudite knowledge were appreciated by everyone (except Ringer), and the detective lady was also amazed that Ringer's team actually gathered a group of aliens such as light elves, silver elves, and vampires.

During the conversation, a golden-haired maid tried to persuade Miss Gloria to touch her cassette with words. Unfortunately, the detective girl, who knew how to change the subject, brushed it off without leaving any trace, and it did not have any effect. However, the other party's evasive attitude also made Ling Ge a little suspicious: Is Gloria really the young queen? More importantly, if she is, does she know it? If she knows, what does this evasive attitude mean, vigilance, precaution, or a kind of self-protection?
If there was a choice, Ling Ge really wanted to tell her about this directly, but in the end, he restrained this idea. This is not the familiar Linweier City, nor is it the leisurely coastal city of Lotterdanna, but the enemy's base camp. No matter how cautious you are, it is not excessive.

On the same day, half a month after returning to Lenwitting, the Plague Witch Pellegrino finally finished her official duties and left her Emerald Palace in the Holy Glory Cathedral to inspect the headquarters of the charity relief organization "Red Cross" under the Grass and Wood Garden in the Grandin District. She was accompanied by her adjutant Nightingale. At the Red Cross headquarters, she had a good chat with another subordinate, Sister Teresa, the head of the Lenwitting Red Cross and the head of the Knights Hospitaller. Later, she attended a free clinic held in the suburbs of Hesse and treated more than 300 seriously ill poor people in an afternoon.

On June 1856, 6, the props that Linger commissioned Rorona to make were finally completed. The quality of the finished dress and carriage was amazing, and the other small props also had different uses. Later, in order to try on the dress and verify the actual effect, he invited Gloria, but the final result was mediocre. Although the detective lady looked good, she did not seem to show the temperament that matched the dress.

Faced with this result, Miss Gloria did not care. She thought that with her beauty and temperament, even without the contrast of the dress, there would not be any big problem. Instead, Lingge needed to pay attention to his manners.

Ling Ge vaguely saw the shadow of someone in this sentence, but instinctively did not want to recall it, so he gave up. Afterwards, he was forced to stay by Gloria and practiced ballroom dancing for half an hour. In order to make the infiltration operation go more smoothly, Ling Ge had to nod his head in agreement even though he had no interest in ballroom dancing. But for some reason, during the practice, he always felt that Saint Xia Liya's gaze was a bit piercing, which made his back cold.

On the same day, after finishing the official business of the Shikilia Peninsula, the Witch of Fear Fei'er and her adjutant Melquiades finally arrived at Renweiting. They were immediately summoned to the Palace of Calamity Rest by the Witch of Disaster Eve, who patiently told them for more than half an hour to behave themselves before the mid-year meeting and not to cause trouble everywhere. Fei'er nodded in agreement, turned around and forgot about it, pushed all the work to her adjutant Melquiades, and fled from her own Temple of Judgment under the pretext of inspecting the capital. During the three-hour disappearance, she caused several chaos and was finally confined by the angry Eve.

On June 1856, 6, as Linger kept going back and forth between the Evangelical Convent and the Cross Church of St. Annville, he gradually became familiar with the ferryman of the underground world, Gernier. At least when the latter talked to him, his tone had softened a lot and was no longer as cold as before. However, when the young man tried to ask him about the ruins excavation project carried out by the True Spirit Sect believers near the North Roald subway station platform, he was still clearly rejected. The ferryman seemed to maintain a neutral attitude and refused to participate in any open and secret struggles between the sect alliance, the True Spirit Sect or outsiders. He only revealed one thing to the young man intentionally or unintentionally: the person in charge of this excavation project was also Sister Livia who discovered the ruins, and her title of the chief of the Battle Sisters was by no means just a decoration. It is said that before this, she was even called the Son of God.

This title reminded Ling Ge of the "Holy Spirit" among the seven saints of the Goddess of Creation, so he began to doubt his own judgment: Could it be that Miss Gloria was not the Young Queen, but Sister Livia? At least the former, in terms of words, deeds and behavior, did not seem to be worthy of this title. If this was true, it seemed a bit risky for him to choose to participate in this dangerous infiltration operation? But things had come to this point, and he had no room for regret anyway. He could only keep this matter in his heart and did not mention it to other companions.

On the same day, the witch Lilith arrived at Lunweiting and was caught by her adjutant Martin Heidegger, who arrived a week earlier, at the most famous high-end restaurant "Heimdall" in the Bellafart District. She was then escorted back to the Temple of the Dead and spent the afternoon handling official business. After finally making it to the evening, she was severely taught a lesson by her third sister Eve, who came after hearing the news. After Eve left, she was severely taught a lesson by her second sister Pereike, who came after hearing the news. After Pereike left, she was severely ridiculed by her fifth sister Fei'er, who came after hearing the news.

The only thing she was thankful for was that her strictest eldest sister, Carabosse, had not yet returned to Lunwitin, and her leader sister was also busy and was temporarily staying in Her Majesty the Queen's Crimea Palace, so she had no time to come back and teach her a lesson.

On June 1856, 6, what the great detective Miss Gloria failed to do, Countess Nevill did: she obtained the internal structure diagram of the Palace of the Harbor and the distribution of the security forces on the day of the party from the intelligence dealer in the harbor area, which provided more powerful support for the infiltration operation two days later. So all the people responsible for the operation were in Miss Gloria's detective agency for the whole day, planning the best infiltration route by comparing these two pieces of information. The golden-haired maid who called herself Little Connor of North America proposed the idea of ​​"killing everyone to sneak in without a trace", which was praised and recognized by the little bat. At the same time, she was asked to leave the office by the Countess and went downstairs to play with the passing black cat.

There was less than a week left before the mid-year meeting. Lilisti's elder sister, the dark witch Carabosse, who was both respected and feared by her, finally arrived in Lunweiting accompanied by her adjutant Floyd. At this point, among the seven witches, only the destruction witch Favrona, who was far away in the western continent commanding foreign wars, had not yet arrived. However, it was said that she had boarded the steamship of Mosong, the "Monsoon City" in the southern subcontinent. Perhaps she would soon be seen in the Dragon Palace of the Holy Huimi Cathedral of the Gospel of the Lord.

On the same day, Mr. Rousseau, director of the Science and Education Bureau of the Ministry of Public Affairs of the Kingdom of Great Brittany, vice chairman of the Western Continent Compulsory Education Promotion Committee, and honorary professor of philosophy by many well-known universities such as Lenwitting University, White City Lane University and Mindrias Royal Academy, knocked on a door located in the deepest corridor of the Palace of Sages.

Behind the door was his immediate superior, one of the seven witches of the society: The Witch of the End, Timeis.
