Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 784 Do you know her name?

Before seeing the leader in person, everyone had imagined his or her image in their minds, and the basis for this imagination was naturally the story told by the dread witch Fei Er. Although only the last paragraph of the story mentioned this mysterious leader, it was enough for everyone to outline a vague image from her words.

In Olvera's mind, he should be an evil conspirator, always plotting all kinds of conspiracies in shady corners. He has a gloomy temperament and always issues all kinds of cold orders in a low voice, such as asking the Night Watch to eliminate the magicians hiding in this city, or asking the Scales of Order to encircle and suppress the aliens hiding in the mountains. He is as ugly and hateful as a giant spider entrenched in the center of a spider web, controlling countless insects with its tentacles.

Leticia had similar ideas, but she was more influenced by fairy tales, so she insisted that the so-called leader must be an old witch with a wrinkled face, wearing a tattered black robe, guarding in front of the crucible every day and throwing all kinds of messy things into it: toads, scorpions, spiders, smelly tree roots, dragonfly eyeballs or human skulls, etc. After cooking, she gave them to the children she abducted to drink, controlling their minds and making them do all kinds of bad things for her. It was so hateful!

Nevill believes that the leader of the Witch Society is a politician who is more ambitious than Neoersu. His purpose in establishing the Witch Society is not only to control the direction of human history, but also to completely control the entire human civilization. The evidence is the increasingly fierce colonial war in the East Continent, which is said to be driven by the United Church. Obviously, he is not satisfied after controlling the West Continent, and wants to extend his tentacles to the continent across the sea. If he really succeeds, he will probably establish a country that is countless times more terrifying than Motosh. By then, no one will remember his cruel methods and cruel character, and everyone will sing praises for him. Instead, they, the opponents, will become sinners in history and be stared to death on the pillar of shame.

In Alice's imagination, she should be the classic villain boss. Before she appears, she is full of prestige and seems to have planned everything out. She chases the protagonists everywhere, and the sense of oppression from one person is enough to rival the entire villain force. However, after she appears, her prestige drops drastically. No matter what conspiracy she makes, it will be cracked by the protagonists. She is incompetent and furious all day long, and can only vent her anger on her subordinates. The final outcome may have two results depending on gender. Either she is defeated by the protagonists with the combined skills of love, friendship and bond, and bears all the blame in this life in exchange for a happy ending, or she is also defeated, but because of a hidden story and whitewashes herself with memories and tears in the final battle, she is forgiven by the protagonists and finally becomes the protagonist's harem.

Alice prefers the latter ending, mainly because she thinks that in this kind of otaku game where the protagonists include seven beautiful girls, the villain boss cannot be anything but a beautiful girl. As for who is the protagonist with the harem, her or Lingge? That depends on personal opinion.

Seeing her today further proved her guess, because the leader of the association who appeared in front of everyone at this moment was indeed a girl, but she was not a beautiful girl, nor did she have any style. She even walked here, just like going out for a walk at night, and walked here slowly and leisurely, and greeted the Queen casually: "Good evening, Victoria."

She teased, "You guys seem to be having a great time chatting, am I disturbing you? Maybe I should step aside for a while and wait until you guys are done chatting before making my official appearance. Would that not be too rude?"

"You're late." Her Majesty the Queen ignored her teasing and glanced at the girl. She said in a neutral tone, "It took you at least ten minutes to walk from Trafalgar Square to Indorsis Bridge. Did you drink a cup of tea at 'Milosi's Cat' on the way?"

Her clothes were not very gorgeous, nor did she wear any decorations. At least compared with the dignified and majestic Queen next to her, she looked plain and ordinary. But when the two stood together, everyone's eyes would fall on her first, rather than the Queen next to her, as if she was born to be the focus of everyone's attention and the well-deserved leader of the team. But why did she, who looked ordinary, give people such a feeling? No one could explain the reason. Perhaps some things were not originally reflected by appearance, but by temperament and spirit.

A young and cheerful girl, with long black hair, her bangs parted in the middle of her forehead, neatly gathered behind her ears, and tied with a crimson ribbon, fluttering gently in the night wind, like a candle dancing in the air; her equally dark eyes flashing with interest, like glowing in the darkest night, impressive; a face that is not particularly beautiful, not so eye-catching at first glance, you will feel that you have seen her in every corner of the world: in the crowds that surge and recede like tides, in the noisy gatherings in street cafes, among the tourists playing in the community park... you have seen such a face. However, when you compare her with those familiar yet unfamiliar faces in your memory, you will feel that she is the only special one. Maybe you will forget every ordinary face, but you will never forget her.

"Hahaha."

The girl smiled, not caring about his tone, and moved her eyes to the right, looking at Saint Xia Liya: "And you, you are Xia..."

At this time, Lingge and others were also observing her appearance.

She suddenly paused, remembering that the blue-haired girl had a new name in this life, so she swallowed the name that was too old and said again: "You are Miss Saint Xia Liya, and... Miss Olvera, Miss Lorena, Miss Leticia, and as for Miss Gloria, there is no need to mention it. She made a big fuss tonight and made Westminster lively for the first time in a long time. It's really good. By the way, I heard that there is also a Miss Yieta. Why, isn't she here?"

The girl didn't care. After laughing heartily a few times, she turned her gaze to the carriage that was blocked in the middle. Of course, to be more precise, she was looking at the people beside the carriage, some people she had wanted to see for a long time, but finally had the chance to see until today.

Linger noticed that the people she named were all reincarnations of the young queen, and he knew that the leader already knew everything. However, in order not to reveal more information, he still replied as briefly as possible: "Not here."

She stretched out her hand and showed the queen a bite mark on her wrist. The queen was speechless after taking a look. After a while, she said, "It's really serious. If you had come later, I might not have seen it."

"That's a pity." The other party sighed, as if this regret was genuine: "The Angel of Wind of Avion, I have long wanted to meet her. But since she is not here, it doesn't matter. I am also happy to meet you all."

"I would like to go, but it's closed." The girl who came over waved her hand. "It was dark just now. I don't know what happened, but the lights on the road went out all of a sudden. I saw a kitten that was scared and went into the sewer and couldn't get out, so I went over to help. I finally rescued it, but it didn't appreciate it and bit me. Look, is there a mark here?"

Milosi's Cat is a famous cafe in Westminster. Because it is close to the National Theatre, many well-known actors and playwrights often gather there. The cats raised by the owner are very popular. It is said that a playwright even wrote a script specifically for the cat, hoping to win the Queen's Award and Shakespeare Award. Unfortunately, they encountered trouble in recruiting animal actors and have not been able to perform to date.

As soon as she appeared, she naturally attracted everyone's attention, naturally stood in the front position, and naturally took over Her Majesty the Queen's right to speak, and set her sights on Ling Ge. When she spoke, her voice and tone were very consistent with everyone's expected impression, as if this person would never surprise everyone at any time. Everyone could see what her face looked like and hear what her voice looked like: "So, you are Mr. Ling Ge?"

Linger met her eyes that seemed to be looking at something interesting, and frowned slightly, but still replied calmly: "If your Witch Society doesn't have another Mr. Linger to look for, then it must be me."

She curved her eyebrows and grinned, revealing two rows of neat white teeth. She looked very amiable, but Lingge and others did not dare to let their guard down because of this appearance. If the person in front of them was just a cheerful and approachable girl, how could she be above all the philosophers and witches and become the irreplaceable leader of the association?

Perhaps only a fool would take her disguise seriously...

"It's not fair, it's not fair!" a golden-haired maid suddenly yelled, "Why do you only call their names but not mine? It was the same last time with the witch of fear Fei'er. She said it was Ringlinger as soon as she opened her mouth. I accepted it because you all treated him as the protagonist, but why should my role be ranked behind Xiaoxia and the others? I am one of the two protagonists. This is not fair at all!" and Alice.

Everyone: "..."

Neville, whose name was not called either: "..."

The black-haired girl was also stunned for a moment. She probably didn't expect that someone would be so entangled in such things. But after she reacted, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and the smile on the corners of her mouth was even deeper than before: "Don't be anxious, Miss Alice. Speaking of which, the one I'm most interested in among you is you."

"real!?"

Alice's eyes lit up, and after the other party nodded again to confirm, she couldn't help but feel complacent. She thought this was the treatment she deserved, and she did have the strength and qualifications to be noticed. If it weren't for her, could a gloomy man like Lingge have pushed the plot to this point? It should have been GAME OVER in Linweier City! Unfortunately, most people in the world are blind and deceived by his righteous appearance, and ignore the real hero Alice. It's really a decline in morals and people's hearts are not as good as they used to be...

Seeing her there all by herself, happy and complaining, and occasionally feeling a little self-pitying, the black-haired girl finally understood what the comment on her file meant. She couldn't help but shook her head and whispered to herself, "Sure enough, there's something wrong with her brain... How could she become like this? Did something unexpected happen while she was crossing the bridge to the heavens? Themis in the heavens didn't even treat her and just let her go. What a mistake."

"What are you mumbling about?"

Alice looked at her suspiciously: "Are you saying bad things about me?"

"No, I was praising you for being beautiful and elegant."

"real!?"

"Really, she's much prettier than me."

After all, it's earned through IQ.

The girl had a sincere smile on her face, but she was complaining in her heart.

Alice believed it, smiled happily, and accepted the compliments from her enemies. After all, she was always confident in her appearance and temperament, just like she was confident in her gaming skills. Until Lingge couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to interrupt this absurd conversation with a postmodern style.

"Since you already know our identities, you can probably skip introducing yourself." He stared straight at the black-haired girl and said, "But we don't know your identity yet. Isn't that a bit rude?"

"My identity? Didn't Victoria tell you about it?"

The girl threw the blame away, but Her Majesty the Queen looked away and said, "I think they want to know your name. In normal interpersonal communication, it is really rude not to tell each other your name."

But if it is an abnormal interpersonal relationship, it is another matter, especially when both parties are still in a hostile position. In fact, there is no need for the girl to report her name to a group of stray dogs who are destined to have no way to escape. The loser has no right to make such a request, and the winner is free to do whatever they want. Linger heard the Queen's implication, and his eyes glanced at Alice's hand that was always hidden behind her back. The silver cassette was still flashing with a faint light, and he didn't know when it would be activated.

As long as we can hold on until that time, there is still a possibility of turning the tide.

Until then, we just need to buy time, including asking for the name of the leader of the association. Of course, if she is willing to reveal her identity, that would be a pleasant surprise. Although knowing a name alone is useless, it is better than knowing nothing, right?

"Tantis."

The black-haired girl suddenly said, she stretched out a white and slender index finger, pointed at the tip of her slightly upturned nose, and said with a smile: "Since you want to know my name, then remember it in your heart: I am the leader of the Witch Association, Tiandis, please give me your guidance."
