Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 872 Is the curse beginning to weaken?
"Let me think about it. Perhaps we can use evening primrose solution and red neutralizer as the base, and pair it with golden mint and ox tongue wine to stimulate the body's activity to a certain extent, so as to achieve the purpose of repairing damage. In addition, purple lily petal extract, three-eyed lizard crown cuticle and great-tailed eagle owl pure color feathers are also good choices, mainly to enhance the medicinal properties and accelerate growth. However, since we are going to add golden mint and purple lily, we can't miss the white flower fruit that has a good compatibility with them. It happens that in the province of Saint-Denis, these materials are not lacking..."

Once her professional field was mentioned, Lorena, who was laughing just now, suddenly became serious. She talked to herself while picking and choosing the right materials from the bottles and jars on the workbench, and soon got into work. Alice was very interested in the alchemical products, but not in the refining process. After all, this was Lorena's royal power, and she couldn't learn it even if she was interested. So after watching for a while, she looked away without interest and began to look at other furnishings in the workshop, trying to find where Lorena kept the alchemical products, and then secretly took one or two back to play with when she wasn't paying attention.

Lingge and Saint Xia Liya watched for a while longer. The latter was purely out of concern for her sister. She also didn't know much about alchemy, so she just thought that Rorona's movements were very smooth and gave people a pleasing feeling. However, Lingge, who had watched the alchemy process several times, suddenly frowned as he watched, and found that something seemed to be wrong.

Although Rolena's movements were very smooth and she knew what she should do next without thinking, she would always pause slightly when she reached out to take the alchemical materials on the workbench before returning to normal. The pause was so small and short that Saint Shalia and Alice, who were not paying attention to it, did not notice it at all.

Only Lingge noticed it and quickly made a guess.

The young man did not ask, but chose to verify his guess in another way. While Rolena was lost in thought and struggling over which material to use as a reactant, he quietly reached out his hand and quietly swapped the two materials that the girl was struggling over. When he withdrew his hand, he was met with Saint Shallia's stunned and shocked expression.

Is Lingge playing a prank?
The shepherdess seemed to have her worldview refreshed. It was hard to imagine that the always serious Lingge would do such a thing. Moreover, it was fine if it was just a prank, but why did he do it in front of her? Did he think that Lorena was blind and couldn't see his little tricks? Even Alice wouldn't do such a stupid thing!

Seeing Saint Xia Liya seeming to want to say something but hesitated, Ling Ge didn't seem to think he had done anything wrong. He even raised an index finger to his mouth, signaling her not to say anything.

Saint Shalia: “…”

She hesitated between her sister and Ling'er, but ultimately did not remind Rorona, and consoled herself in her heart: She would notice it herself anyway. Even if she was too absorbed in her thoughts and did not notice Ling'er's little movements, there was still a label on the bottle, so she wouldn't make a mistake, right?

Saint Shallia did not give her a chance to change the subject. She stretched out her hands and pressed them on her cheeks, slowly turning the girl who was talking about something else to look at her. After the two of them stared at each other for a while, it was finally Lorena who couldn't hold it anymore. She twisted Saint Shallia's hand away with a cry, and then said in a self-deprecating manner: "Okay, okay, I admit it. My eyes are sick and I can't see anything. Are you satisfied with this, Mr. Ling?"

At the end, he didn't forget to criticize Lingge.

Just when Saint Xia Liya felt deeply ashamed and remorseful, Ling Ge suddenly reached out and grabbed Rorona's wrist, and then stopped steadily on the bottle of purple lily extract. Rorona was stunned for a moment, but soon came to her senses, looked up and showed a sweet smile to the young man, and said in a playful tone: "Oh, Mr. Ling Ge, I didn't expect you to be such a proactive person, I am really flattered. But Xiao Xia is still here, if you are too enthusiastic towards other girls, she may have an opinion?"

"Yes." Rorona sighed, "I thought I had disguised myself perfectly. How did you find out? Could it be that you cared about me so much that you kept watching me and didn't miss even such a small detail? Oh, this is too embarrassing, Mr. Ling."

The girl's smile became more rigid, but she still forced herself to smile: "Maybe it's because I was too absorbed in it that I didn't notice the situation around me. Mr. Lingge, you are really something. How could you play such a prank on a weak girl? Fortunately, it was me. If it was someone else, they might have been angry, right?"

"No, you didn't put them in the wrong place." Ling Ge said calmly, "I did switch them, but I'm curious, why didn't you notice such an obvious thing?"

What's going on? Could it be that...she is cooperating with Lingge's prank?

She pretended to be shy, but she couldn't get away with it. For example, her elder sister, Saint Shallia, would not easily indulge in such behavior. She asked seriously, "Why didn't you tell us, Lorena?"

The smile on Rorona's face froze for a moment. "Is that so? It seems that I was too tired last night and accidentally put the materials in the wrong place when I was organizing them."

Although I had seen through the trap, because it was Ling's first prank, I couldn't bear to see his disappointed expression after failure, so I deliberately turned a blind eye and took the initiative to cooperate? Rolena, it turns out that you are such a gentle person. I used to think that you were as naughty and difficult to control as Alice. It was really my prejudice. I'm sorry...

"Glasses? If Sister Xia wants, I can make you a pair, but it will take some time..."

Alice immediately pointed out: "But you were trying to hide it just now."

Then she watched as Rorona, who was muttering "golden mint", reached for the bottle with "violet lily extract" written on it.

The young man had long been immune to this level of verbal attacks, and he looked indifferent as he asked, "Because of the curse?"

"I have an opinion too!" A strong voice came from the side. Alice saw that there was something fun to join in and immediately became excited: "Lingge, you are such a daring guy. It's not decent for you to be so shameless as to flirt with a beautiful girl in public! Put your hands down and let me do it!"

Lingge was indifferent. He just gently pushed her hand back and said, "You got the wrong one, Lorena. The gold mint you want is here."

"Eh?"

She tried to change the subject with a teasing tone, but it was useless because even Alice could see that she seemed to be hiding something. Saint Shalia's expression suddenly became serious: "Rorona, let me see your eyes."

Rolena chuckled: "Because it just happened last night and you guys weren't here, how can I tell you?"

I hate the perceptive little devil the most. Rorona glared at Alice secretly, then turned back to meet Saint Shallia's stern gaze. She suddenly missed her biological sister. If it were her, she would definitely go along with her, after all, she loved her sister the most. But her biological sister was not here, and there was only her stern sister in front of her. She could only sigh silently in her heart and continue to make weak excuses: "Because I don't want everyone to worry about me, it's not a serious matter anyway..."

“Isn’t it serious that I can’t see anymore?” Alice jumped out to object again.

"If you can't see at all, it's of course very serious." Lorena pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose and smiled, "But actually the situation is not that bad. It's just that my vision is severely damaged and I can't see the scenery more than half a meter away. If I use the pair of glasses I'm wearing now with heat sensing and object imaging functions as an aid, it can basically ensure that normal activities are not affected. As for alchemy, I can rely on my experience to make up for it." No wonder she suddenly wore glasses today.

Ling Ge and Saint Xia Liya both resolved the confusion in their hearts, and Alice breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, the personality of the beautiful girl has not changed.

"Is it really okay?" Saint Shallia was still a little worried. She looked at the pair of crystal blue eyes behind the crystal lenses. It was hard to imagine that such a beautiful pair of eyes could not see this beautiful world. Although it was only temporary, it was still too cruel for Lorena.

"it's okay no problem."

The girl herself didn't care. She waved her hand and said, "Didn't I tell you that as long as you wear these glasses, it won't affect your eating and sleeping."

This is why Rolena felt that she didn't need to mention this to everyone. She had long been accustomed to facing injuries alone. Otherwise, during the years she lived in Lotdana City, wouldn't she have to go back to Nereids every time the curse broke out and seek comfort in the arms of her mother or sister? Her Royal Highness Princess Haixi of the Azure Sea was definitely not such a weak person.

and.

"I don't know if it's an illusion," Rorona touched her eyes and said thoughtfully, "I always feel that this curse is not as severe as the last time."

The previous curses did not give her any chance to exploit loopholes, just like the last time she had aphasia, she was completely unable to make any sound, and could only use gestures and eyes to express her meaning. If it weren't for Olvera as a human translator, it would be difficult to communicate with everyone. This time, blindness sounds terrible, but at least she didn't lose her eyesight completely, so she only needed to wear a pair of special glasses to solve most of the problems. To be honest, Lorena felt that this curse was a bit gentle.

"Has the curse become less potent?"

When Ling Ge heard this, his eyes fixed and he quickly asked, "Lorena, has anything strange happened to you recently?"

"Strange things?" The girl tilted her head: "For example?"

"Like dreaming."

"Now that you mention it, it seems like I have some impression of it." After thinking for a while, Rorona said uncertainly, "I have indeed been dreaming a lot recently, but I have forgotten all the contents of the dreams after waking up. I only remember that there was a name that kept appearing, and it seemed that the people in the dreams all called me that."

"what name?"

"Lorelai."

Sure enough.

Ling Ge and Saint Xia Liya looked at each other and saw the same look in each other's eyes. Gloria - or Bai Ye's ability has begun to work. She guides the young royals to see their past lives in dreams, so that they can gradually restore their memories and strength and resist the curse imposed by the witches. Presumably, Lorelai is the name of Rolena's past life.

If so, will the curses of the other girl kings also begin to weaken?
This matter is very important and needs to be confirmed as soon as possible.

In fact, they could have just asked Bai Ye directly, but Gloria stayed in Xiaduoli Manor, so Lingge and Saint Xia Liya could only take the stupid method and ask them one by one.

The two of them made a tacit decision without communicating. Rolena watched their reactions and thought: Could it be that the weakening of the curse is related to dreams? In this case, can I refine a potion that can prolong the dream time by improving the quality of sleep, so that the strengthened dreams can continuously weaken the curse? If so, dream grass, begonia and purple neutralizer are essential materials. Maybe I can also try to add some silver laurel root powder? Well, good idea, I found a new idea, I will try it soon.

In order to confirm the situation of the other young girls, Ling Ge and Saint Shallia left the alchemy workshop. Rorona, who was immersed in the new formula, did not try to stop them and sent them off with a happy look on her face. Of course, before leaving, they were inevitably lectured by Saint Shallia, who basically said that next time something like this happens, don't hide it from everyone and must tell us, otherwise everyone will worry. Rorona naturally responded obediently on the surface, but what she thought in her heart was another matter.

You, the careful one, must have noticed that no one’s name is mentioned in the above passage, so what is she doing?

The answer is that she also decided to stay because there was something that had to be done.

"This concerns the future of human sports." A talented player said solemnly.

Isn't it just to forge a certificate? Ling Ge was speechless, but he let her be. After all, he still had serious things to do. It was better to keep the dishonest person here so that he wouldn't run around and cause trouble for others. As for whether it would cause trouble for Rolena... With Princess Haiqi's emotional intelligence, she should be able to control this guy, especially since she was holding the thing that the genius player needed most.

Linger was right. After he and Saint Shallia left the alchemy workshop, the genius player, who felt that he had something to ask of others, decided to show his sincerity in the most sincere way.

Pfft!
Her stubborn and unyielding knees came into close contact with the cold floor, and then she hugged Princess Umisu's thighs and rubbed them shamelessly, crying, "Role Amon, please help me!"

Rolena: “…”

　Give me some meow
