Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 523 Is the most important thing missing?

In fact, long before arriving at the Şikilia Peninsula, Alice had made the same request to Lingge, wanting the Cloud Whale to temporarily dock at several famous resorts on land and sea, such as Kenseliya Island where the "City of White Houses" Cres is located, or Xiwan Island where the "City of Blue Sea" Izfaniya is located, to enjoy a wonderful seaside holiday.

For the dream of beach, sunshine and palm trees, she kept harassing Lingge, and finally annoyed the young man so much that he almost agreed. But in the end, she failed to do so because they had decided to land on the Siqiliya Peninsula to look for the next young queen. To be honest, this peninsula, which was always surrounded by cold nights and cold rain, was not a suitable place for vacation.

After that, Linger thought she had given up, but she was still determined and secretly persuaded Metien to join her camp. He didn't know what role the pink-haired girl played in this holiday plan. Linger believed that his sister was just coerced by Alice and was not a reckless person, so he shook his head decisively: "No."

"Why!?"

Alice raised her voice suddenly, and her dissatisfied questioning scared away several fireflies that were perched on the street lamps. Like points of light separated from the lampshade, they flew towards the forest on the right side of the road, swaying.

By the way, when Alice questions others, she likes to say "why" instead of "why", as if she is always the right one and can justifiably ask others to give her an explanation.

Ling's answer was also very simple.

"We've been targeted by the combined forces of the cult." He glanced at Alice indifferently, "Under the circumstances, we're lucky they don't take the initiative to cause trouble for us. You still want to take the initiative to run into their sphere of influence. Are you afraid that they won't be able to find you?"

The influence of the combined church in Minderias is equally huge. The headquarters of the Crimson Church of the Seven Gods and the Scourge Mission are located in the country. In particular, the headquarters of the former, the "Holy Dragon Temple", is directly located in the core urban area of ​​the capital, Qisaiya. There are no less than three legions of the Vatican's troops stationed in the temple. Being able to station troops in the capital of an autocratic empire with a highly centralized monarch, one can imagine how amazing its influence is in Minderias.

Lingge had read some detective novels and felt that their current situation was somewhat similar to that of the criminals in the novels, but he had never heard of any novel in which the criminals took the initiative to break into the detective's sight because they wanted to go on vacation. That kind of reason for exposure was too stupid. If it was really written out, it would probably attract a lot of criticism from readers.

Don't talk about Saint Charlia's thread of fate as if it were an alibi in a detective novel.

But Alice doesn't care what readers want to read, she only cares about what she wants to do.

Although the "City around the Sea" Lothdana is far away from the capital, it is also a big city, and because of its developed tourism industry, its worldwide fame may be even higher than that of the capital, Qisaiah. The tentacles of the united cults cannot bypass its range, so everything it should have is present - Night Watchmen, Balance of Order, magic army, airships and even organized mechas and tank units are lurking in the sunshine of this beautiful and sunny coastal city, waiting for their enemies to fall into the trap.

It was obvious that Alice was the one who was going to fall into the trap.

"Oh, it's okay." She patted Ling'er's shoulder in a hypocritical manner, and her tone was very relaxed: "You are a good person in every way, but you are a little too cautious. Think about it, the city of Lotdana is so big, the beach covers such a wide range, and there are so many places to go on vacation. Why do we have to squeeze into crowded places? We can still enjoy a wonderful seaside holiday in a remote area, and we don't have to worry about being disturbed. In addition, with Xiaoxia's destiny thread covering it, it's perfect. It's impossible for the people from the united sect to find us!"

Ling Ge was speechless: "Do you really want to go on vacation to the beach?"

"Of course!"

Alice didn't even hesitate for a second before answering: "Who can resist a wonderful vacation with sunshine, beaches, palm trees and cacti? Believe me, Lingge, if you ask Metien, she will definitely say that she wants to go!"

Knowing that the person Lingge loved most was still his sister, Alice cleverly used the name of Metien, which reminded Lingge of a northern slang: A clever fox often knows how to take advantage of a tiger's ego. Of course, whether Alice was clever or cunning is a question to be discussed.

And what about cacti? What kind of beaches would they grow on?

Lingge retorted: "I don't know what Metien thinks, but now it's you who has to convince me. Do you have any other reasons?" "Well, uh." Lingge's stubbornness made Alice feel a little difficult. She frowned, thinking hard, while throwing a few small fruits picked from the bushes in her hand into the sky, and then catching them one by one. The light from the street lamps made these fruits as light as flying insects rising and falling in the night. When one of the fruits flew into the air for the sixth time, no one stretched out a hand to catch it. Instead, it fell freely and fell on the wooden board, making a slight thud. At the same time, Alice stared at Lingge with her eyes shining: "I thought about it, this is also for Xiaoxia and the others!"

"For them?"

"That's right. Xiao Xia and the others have been very unhappy recently because of Fei'er. We can't go on like this. So, we should put aside all our worries and burdens and enjoy a wonderful holiday. This will definitely make them feel better! Ling Ge, you are so ashamed. You must not have the heart to see the young royals all become jade-sick, right?"

Lingge did not comment: "This reason is not bad, but it is no longer necessary."

"No, why?"

“Because their mood has recovered.”

"Hey! When and who did it!?"

Alice was greatly surprised, and then she became furious, saying, "How could someone capture the Girl's Kingdom without my knowledge? This is a sneak attack! Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable! If you play like this, even a good-tempered person like Ai-chan will be really angry, okay?"
Ling'er looked at Alice as if she were an idiot. He knew that her IQ was not high, but he didn't expect that even her memory was so bad.

Under his cold gaze, it took Ai-chan five full minutes to recall: Ah, it turns out that the person who tried to conquer the Girl King Quan was Ling Ge, and the person who asked him to conquer the Girl King Quan was me.

Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, just pretend nothing happened.

"That being said," she winked, "but no one knows whether they have really recovered or are just pretending to reassure you. So, to be on the safe side, I think it's best for us to go on vacation and use the beautiful beaches, warm sunshine and bright sea views to heal everyone's souls! Do you know that scientific studies have shown that people who often go on vacation to the beach are hundreds of percentage points less likely to suffer from depression than those who don't go on vacation often?"

Which scientist is so bored that he would do this kind of research? Also, your percentage is almost as low as the ocean, right?
Linger thought so, but he didn't object directly. After all, what Alice said made sense, and it might even be the most reasonable thing she had ever said in her life. Out of consideration for caring for children with intellectual disabilities, it is necessary to give them appropriate encouragement.

But for Alice, who was good at taking advantage of others, the effect of this encouragement was too good. She felt that Ling Ge was actually moved, but just couldn't agree because of face. So, she decided to use her trump card -

"There is one most important reason, Lingge, I must tell you."

Her expression was serious and her tone was earnest, so Ling Ge subconsciously asked, "What?"

"Don't you think that the plot has developed to this point, with adventures, puzzles, memories, healing, love lines, and family lines, but it's missing the most important thing?"

"for example?"

"Of course I'll go back in a swimsuit, go back in a swimsuit!"

　Give me some meow
