Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 768: A simple and crude way?
At first, when the magic armored car rumbled after them, Alice was a little nervous. After all, when a high-tech war car races against a primitive and backward carriage, normal people would think that the former has a greater chance of winning, right? But after chasing for a few minutes, she was surprised to find that although the carriage driven by Nevile failed to shake off the other party, it was not caught up by them either! She suddenly realized: Yes, this is not an ordinary carriage, but an alchemical prop made by Rorona herself, in other words, a product of mysticism.

Magic technology is not possible, but our alchemy is fine!
She suddenly stood up again, her desire to commit suicide was rising. She glanced and saw that no one else in the car had time to pay attention to her, so she quietly opened the window and stuck her head out to look back. The scene of the residential area flew past on both sides, almost stretched into a blurred afterimage. From this distance, the brightly lit Xiaoliang Palace could still be seen, but it had gradually faded into the night and turned into a blurred background. Alice's bangs were blown back by the whistling night wind, revealing her smooth forehead, but she didn't care about that anymore. Instead, she opened her ruby ​​eyes wide and stared at the steel chariot that was chasing her relentlessly.

The other party was huge, nearly three meters tall, and was covered in high-tech silver-white metal. Only the light-shielding glass in front of the car reflected a dazzling light in the night. It seemed that some special technology was used to prevent Alice from seeing the situation inside the car from the outside. When the eight pairs of giant road wheels rolled over the ground, the solid stone slabs creaked and groaned under the heavy load. An armored vehicle like this could be considered a small mobile fortress. When it rumbled over, it really made people feel an indescribable sense of oppression, as if they were not facing a steel creation, but a living beast.

The magical technology of the cult's union is indeed advanced. Whether it is the airships, constructed robots or the magical armored vehicles in front of them, they are far behind the technological level of the current era. No wonder they can firmly grasp the ruling power of the Western Continent and even the national power has to retreat three feet.

But so what?

In front of our alchemical chariot, won’t it just be able to eat dust?

Alice was so proud when she thought of this, as if she was the one who knew alchemy. She was thinking whether to taunt him. Although the distance was so far, the speed was so fast, and the wind was so noisy, the other party would not be able to hear her even if she taunted him, but if she didn't taunt him when she was in an advantageous position, what was the point of playing the game? I, Alice, have never been a quality player!

When she was thinking about which finger was more provocative, the lower finger or the middle finger, the roof of the magic armored vehicle that was traveling at high speed was suddenly opened, and then a woman in a dress and a brown ponytail climbed onto the roof from the inside of the car. She wore a magic device similar to a windshield on her head, and held a magic gun in her hand that was so cool that it could be used as skin. On the small magic furnace on her waist, the dark blue circuit was emitting a faint fluorescence, and the magic plug-ins in various parts of the body were connected through conductive lines, making her look full of a simple and mysterious technological beauty.

Wow!
When Alice saw the equipment, she couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement. She thought that although the magic technology of the combined cult was not very effective, it did look cool enough. Should she find a way to get one? What about the Cospree Future Warriors?
At this time, the golden-haired maid still didn't realize what was going to happen next, until she came to her senses and found that the woman had already installed the base and aiming bracket on the top of the magic armored vehicle, and installed her magic sniper rifle on it. She seemed to dislike the dress that hindered her movements, so she simply tore off the hem below the knees and threw it away. The dark purple cloth was swept up by the whistling night wind and blew to the end of the street.

Then she lay down on the roof in a standard sniper posture, observing the distance between the two sides while using her fingers to fine-tune the sight-aiding plug-in on her head and the parameters of the scope installed on the gun, as if she was looking for a suitable shooting angle. Although the magic armored vehicle was always running at high speed, her hands were extremely stable, with almost no tremors.

Alice was stunned for a moment, until the glass of the aiming scope reflected a cold light in her eyes, and she suddenly realized what the other party was trying to do. She screamed strangely and hurriedly retracted her head. Because she was too anxious, her side of the head hit the window frame, and she grimaced in pain, looking extremely embarrassed.

On top of the magic armored vehicle, Sally, who had already adjusted all the parameters, saw the scene of the golden-haired maid retracting her head in panic from the visual range auxiliary plug-in, and couldn't help but chuckle, thinking it was quite interesting. But she did not hesitate at all, and still decisively pulled the trigger, but the target was not Alice.

With the click of the trigger, a complex and detailed circular magic array appeared at the muzzle of the sniper rifle. The magic furnace on the waist began to operate at the highest power. The magic circuit highly concentrated the magic power provided by the core metal and burst it instantly, forming a magic bullet with a strong penetrating effect. Like a dark silver light shuttle, it burst out of the barrel, swept through the wind, and drew a straight trajectory, accurately hitting the high-speed carriage. The magic bullet rubbed against the wheel, splashing out dazzling golden red sparks. The huge kinetic energy impact caused the wheel to start slipping and sliding to the side uncontrollably. The carriage also staggered, accompanied by a sharp and piercing whistle, and gradually tilted to the other end of the street. The people in the carriage were not aware of it for a while and fell all over the place. Only Lingge reacted in time and held the window frame to barely stand firm, but he didn't have time to reach out to help others, but hurriedly shouted: "Never!"

"I know!"

Nevile gritted her teeth. She knew that no matter how skilled she was in driving, she couldn't restore the balance of the carriage. In this case, she had to use a simpler and more violent method. She whipped the horse whip, calming the two frightened white horses temporarily and continuing to run along the road. Then she spread her black bat wings behind her without hesitation, flew directly from the driver's position, flew to the other side of the carriage, and supported the slowly falling carriage with her hands and shoulders. She pushed the high-speed carriage back to its original track with her physical strength.

The carriage thus regained its balance and returned to the right track. The passengers on the carriage couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Ling Ge then remembered to reach out to help others, but everyone had already stood up and didn't need his help. Avella even glanced at him and muttered, "Not gentlemanly at all."

The young man pretended not to hear.

"Xu~"

Although the bullet failed to hit the target, Sally was not disappointed. She even whistled leisurely and said jokingly, "Are all the vampires nowadays so simple and brutal? They are completely different from the dark nobles I wiped out on the Yaning Plateau."

The Yaning Plateau is the place where traces of vampire activities are most frequent, except for the Shiqilia Peninsula.

I don't know if she heard these words, but after pushing the carriage back on track, Nevi'er did not immediately return to the driver's seat. Instead, she looked up at the female sniper on top of the magic armored vehicle. The next moment, she swung her bat wings, and several blood-red arcs of light swept across like the edge of a sharp blade, cutting through the air at an astonishing speed and attacking the opponent.
