Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 840 Is there anything else you want to ask?
Yieta stared at him for a long time, and finally asked angrily, "What's the matter?"

Although it is rare to see her angry, and it seems a bit strange at first glance, but it seems that I didn't say anything that would make her angry? Or was she in a bad mood to begin with, and I just happened to see her? This won't do. How can you vent your anger on innocent people just because you are in a bad mood? I have to tell Saint Shalia when I go back and ask her to find time to teach her sister a lesson.

Lingge decided not to argue with her and directly stated his purpose: "We are about to arrive at the Wind Flower City Sumiya. Let's find a place for Yunjing Sky Island to land first."

Yieta was stunned for a moment: "Where did you land?"

Linger walked over and stood on the edge of the roof like her. He looked over the forests and hills of Yunjing Sky Island and looked down at the ground farther away. Then he pointed in a certain direction and said, "I have discussed it with Saint Xia Liya and the others. Let's land there. Can you see it?"

"Let me see."

Yieta looked in the direction of Ling's finger, then changed her mind and thought, "Isn't there a better tool in my hand?" She quickly picked up the telescope and put it in front of her eyes. She looked through the magic-polished glass lens, and it was indeed much clearer, even giving people a feeling of being there.

Stretching all the way from the southern edge of the Loser Mountains, the undulating mountains gradually become gentler, and at the foot of the mountain, they are replaced by a lush forest. The lush ginkgo, metasequoia, sycamore and other tree species bathe in the midsummer sunshine, dyeing every corner of the mountains and wilderness with deep green. The golden sunlight flows into this green ocean, just like two different colors of paint blending together in a palette. The blended beauty of nature and vitality is heart-moving.

There is also a lake in the forest, which is like a blue gem inlaid between the mountains and forests. Beams of brilliant sunlight fall on the lake, making the water reflect sparkling waves. The complex light and delicate textures are like an ancient magic circle, full of mystery and magnificent beauty.

"Just land in that forest. The lake is a good location for the Cloud Whale Island to anchor." Ling'er's voice sounded beside his ears: "The forest you saw has the same name as the Loser Mountains. As for the lake, an ancient book circulating in the province of Saint-Denis mentioned that its name should be Paris, but people in the countryside seem to call it Emerald Lake because the word 'Paris' means emerald and gem in the ancient language of Saint-Denis."

Linger glanced at her: "Who told you this?"

"Alice!"

"Yeah." Lingge replied, "It's also thanks to Ovella's help."

"so good."

While he was still thinking about the feasibility of this plan, Yieta, who was still observing the ground, suddenly exclaimed, "But it seems that there are people living nearby. If we land in the forest, won't we be discovered?"

Lingge had the same idea, so he took the telescope and took a look. Following the direction he was gazing at, he could see that in the Forest of Loser, there were two rivers originating from the Emerald Lake and flowing all the way to the foot of the mountain. At the confluence of the rivers at the foot of the mountain, a group of buildings were hidden in the lush branches and leaves, with red tile roofs and white walls, carved iron fences, atrium arcades full of classical atmosphere, and the tallest and largest building.

It is located among a grove of upright yew trees and yellow poplars with small yellow flowers, and looks as majestic and solemn as an aristocratic mansion. However, its location is precisely where it cannot be illuminated by sunlight, so from the walls to the interior of the house, it is shrouded in a dim twilight, giving people a lifeless feeling.

"You seem to know it very well." Yieta asked as she moved the telescope. "Did you read it in a book again?"

"Inhabited?"

Yieta said quietly, "Sister Olvera is doing well, right? Unlike me, I can't help at all..."

"Hehe!" Yieta seemed to have thought of something interesting and said proudly, "This is what they call, it's better not to study than to study hard!"

Linger frowned when he heard this, wondering what happened to her. She suddenly became depressed. Could it be that she had reached puberty early... Oh no, was she late? Should I tell Alice to come over and make Yieta happy when she is free? There was no need for the genius player to do anything. As long as she stood there, she would be the best joke.

Linger had a habit of looking up relevant books every time he arrived at a new area to learn about the area's history, geography, or humanities, so as not to rush in without knowing anything about it. The person who cooperated best with this habit was naturally Ovella. Many things that even the locals didn't know could be found in her library, which often played an unexpected role.

Lingge put down the telescope and said, "According to the records in the book, since the 50s, the Forest of Loser has been in a state of being sparsely visited by people. For some reason, the residents of the fields on the Grindelwald Plain, which is closest to this forest, have been reluctant to approach this place. Its position in the Wind Flower City Sumya is roughly equivalent to the position of the Thorsen Mountains in the city of Rostin. Could it be that after two centuries, the situation has changed and is not exactly the same as what is recorded in the book?"

This was something the young man had not expected. Of course, it was not mentioned in the book he was reading. At this time, Yieta had already put down the telescope, handed it to him and said, "If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself."

Obviously, this was not some dilapidated ruin or an abandoned remote house, but a manor. Its architectural style and specifications were very old, and it looked like a product of the last era, but the manor road in the woods and the fountain pool in the courtyard were all very neat and clean, and it was obvious that someone still lived here.

"That's a problem."

He knew it.

Apart from a genius player who doesn't like to learn and is extremely thick-skinned, who else can say such a thing with a clear conscience? Shaymi might be able to do it, but she doesn't have the brains to do it; Leticia might be able to do it, but Nevile won't let her say it.

My sister's two friends each have their own unique skills. Linger silently returned the telescope to Yieta, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Although it is different from the plan, it is not a big problem. I will go to Miss Gloria and ask her to cover when she lands on Yunjing Sky Island. As long as we move quickly, we should not be discovered by the people living in the manor."

The biggest benefit of Gloria joining the team is that many things that had to be done in secret before can now be done openly. The ability of the Mind King in this regard is even stronger than the three photon elves of the Gospel Academy. After all, the latter is just a visual disguise, while the former can deceive the mind and memory.

"Then I'll move the sky island over there first."

Yieta muttered, "At this height, people on the ground shouldn't be able to see it, right?"

Linger nodded, and without saying much, he turned and left the windmill tower room, intending to find Gloria. However, he encountered difficulties in this matter, because he had no idea where Gloria was, nor did he know where to find her. The gray-haired girl has now become the most mysterious person in the entire Yunjingkong Island. She has a strange temperament under the Bai Ye personality, and seems to do things based on her likes and dislikes at the moment, which makes people completely confused; and although her personality under the Gloria personality is much better, at least not so indifferent, and her words are not sharp, but she is also a casual and undisciplined person in her bones.

Besides, unlike other people, she didn't have her own things to do, such as writing novels and watering flowers like Olvera, or walking the sheep and teaching children like Saint Shallia. The other side of having nothing to do was that she could do anything. So she would always appear randomly in a corner of the Cloud Whale Sky Island. Sometimes she would watch the stone elf guards watering and fertilizing in the herb garden with great interest, and sometimes she would ask Shelia for tips on adjusting water in the Fairy Deep Sleep Inn... In short, she lived a very comfortable life.

Maybe even Alice is not as free as her. The genius player often becomes frustrated and furious when playing games, and is always scratching her head when developing games. When passing by her room, you can often hear her angry voice.

However, what was comfortable for Gloria was troublesome for Lingge. He searched for nearly half an hour on the Cloud Whale Sky Island, asking everyone he could, and finally found the girl in an unexpected place - Rolena's alchemy workshop.

At that time, she was squatting in front of the heavy alchemy cauldron, and seemed not to feel the blazing heat of the flames at all. She watched with interest as Rorona put in various materials, which were dissolved and fused under the action of the neutralizer, and gradually outlined the embryo of the new product. She seemed to think this was a very interesting thing, so she watched very attentively, and didn't even notice Lingge coming in. Rorona, who was concentrating on alchemy, raised her head when she heard Lingge's footsteps, and a look of surprise flashed across her face: "It's Lingge, you actually took the initiative to come to me?"

Normally he would come to her when he had something to do, like the last time when he needed her to prepare the dress and carriage for a dinner party.

"I'm not here to see you." The young man told the truth and looked at the gray-haired girl beside the alchemy cauldron: "I'm here to see Miss Gloria."

"Eh?" Gloria realized that Ling Ge was here too. She raised her head and pointed at herself, asking in confusion, "Me?"

"That's what I said. How could a man like Mr. Lingge take the initiative towards me?" Rorona blinked her crystal blue eyes and naturally added a honorific after Lingge's name, as if to deliberately emphasize the distance. But for some reason, it gave people a teasing feeling: "That being said, you can't say such unromantic words to his face."

Didn't you already say that?
Ling Ge knew that this guy was going to do something weird again, so he ignored her and told Gloria directly what he wanted to do. After listening, Gloria had no objection and nodded readily in agreement: "No problem, but there is one thing I need to remind you: It is still a little difficult for me to cover the entire Yunjing Sky Island with my ability, so it is best to move quickly. If I am exposed before landing, you can't blame me, Mr. Ling Ge?"

Linger nodded gently: "I will tell Yieta. Of course, with the speed of Yunjingkong Island, normally there won't be any problems, so you can rest assured."

"I think so." Gloria's lips twitched, then she stood up, brushed off the dust on her skirt like a princess, and said, "But in order to grasp the opportunity more accurately, I'd better go with you. By the way, I haven't seen Miss Yieta for several days, and I miss her a little. It's a good opportunity to go and see her."

When did your relationship with Yieta become so good?
Ling Ge raised his eyebrows, but didn't take it seriously. At this time, he heard Gloria waved to Rorona with a smile and said, "Then I'll leave first, Rorona, I'll come to you to get the props when they are refined."

"Yes." Rorona also smiled and nodded: "Although your request is a little special... But this is not the first time I have dealt with such a special request. Probably in two days, the day after tomorrow, you can come and pick it up. I will prepare it in advance and wait for you."

When Ling Ge heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "What item did you ask Rolena to help you refine?"

Gloria looked back at him, then a reserved and mysterious smile appeared on her face, and she said slowly: "This is a lady's secret, Mr. Ling. It is not a gentleman's thing to casually pry into a lady's secret."

I am not a gentleman.

Lingge thought so, and cast an inquiring gaze at the other party, and then received the same answer: "This is a secret between princesses, Mr. Lingge. If you pry into the princesses' private secrets at will, you will be thrown into the underwater volcano and be tortured by lava~"

So when did your relationship become so good? Also, what kind of cruel punishment is this? Aren't the mirror elves of Nereids friendly and peace-loving? Princess Haixi's attitude seems a bit unfriendly.

Lingge was speechless for a long time. He always felt that a lot of things seemed to have happened in places he didn't know about. Could it be that Gloria had already made good friends with everyone on Yunjingkong Island?
If it was her, it might be possible. Although the frequent changes of identities in the past accumulated many false memories in her mind, and even gave rise to the secondary personality of Bai Ye, it also helped her accumulate a lot of experience and knowledge. Even if only one tenth of them could be used, it would be a terrible thing. Moreover, Miss Gloria's current identity is still Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Victorian Royal Family. Whether it is communication skills, social etiquette or the little skills of observing words and expressions, they must be the instincts of the royal nobles, right?
In this case, perhaps this gray-haired girl is the most formidable person in the entire Yunjingkong Island?

When Lingge thought of this, he couldn't help but look at her, and at this time Gloria happened to be looking at him. Their eyes met, and Her Royal Highness the Third Princess pursed her lips slightly, smiling appropriately and politely, as if to say: Do you have anything else to ask, Mr. Lingge?

Forget it.

Ling Ge withdrew his gaze and thought to himself: There are already enough troublesome girls, so we don’t need this one.

　Give me some meow
