Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 594: Has the infiltration started?
The silver moonlight cannot illuminate the bottom of the deep sea, but the Ice Water Palace is still brightly lit. Crystal towers built of aquamarine guard this sacred palace, releasing light all day long, making it like an eternal lamp in the dark abyss, illuminating every inch of illusory and lonely soil and every lonely soul hiding in the shadows, making it impossible for evil things to hide and making the people in the sea bow their heads in respect, sincerely admiring the eternal and glorious rule of the mirror elves.

Looking down from a high place, all places except the Ice Water Palace were shrouded in darkness. The city was completely silent except for the faint twinkling of sparks, which highlighted the tranquil atmosphere, as if everyone had fallen asleep in a huge cradle, removing their defenses and disguises during the day.

The rising of the sun and the setting of the moon cannot be seen in the deep sea, and naturally there is no such thing as the alternation of the sun and the moon. However, the mirror elves still developed their own calendar and time units based on the cycle of the moon's waxing and waning and the laws of the tides. They call the quietest period of the day "Silent Night", which is roughly around 1 to 3 a.m. in the human time table.

The palace where Lorena lived was named "Silent Night Palace" because she had been weak and sick since she was a child, often suffering from illness and unable to sleep peacefully. Queen Amyra pitied her daughter and used this name to remind any subjects and servants passing by the palace to walk quietly like walking in the silent night, so as not to disturb the girl's dreams and prevent her from having a good rest.

This shows the mother's love and care for her daughter.

But not all concerns are as gentle and silent as the name of this palace. Sometimes they are more intense, manifested in verbal conflicts and tough actions. The mother was too worried about her daughter's future to tolerate her squandering her life with willful excuses. She ordered her daughter to rest well in the Palace of Silence until she washed off the dust from living in the human world for a long time. In secret, she ordered her personal guard, Katins, to strengthen patrols and vigilance around the Palace of Silence. In the heart of Nereids City, there would naturally be no invasion by foreign enemies. So the meaning of such behavior was actually very obvious.

As Lorena's teacher, Catings couldn't bear to see her fall out with her mother and be punished by house arrest; but as a subject of Her Majesty the Queen, the only thing he could do was to obey orders. Therefore, although many people were skeptical about this order, the Crystal Guards, who were absolutely loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, still strictly carried out their mission and sealed off the Night Palace and the surrounding areas. The security was so strict that even a shrimp couldn't swim through, let alone Lorena.

However, just because small fish and shrimps can't pass through doesn't mean that small bats can't pass through either.

Lying in the shadow of a crystal tower, her petite body blended into the shadow. Her innate talent enabled her to learn to conceal her scent and breathing without any instruction, and even her heartbeat was almost suppressed. Therefore, even though three patrol teams had passed by the garden below, they still could not spot the pair of bat pupils that were peering at her from above her head, flashing a scarlet and eerie light like rubies.

"The defense is very strict. It seems that Her Majesty the Queen is very wary of her daughter. This is not surprising. The magical items that Miss Rorona possesses can indeed produce unexpected effects under certain circumstances."

"It sounds like this infiltration is not as simple as imagined."

"Whether it's simple or not depends on how Miss Leticia performs."

"I believe Leticia can do it."

"What's your attitude?!" Alice was greatly surprised. She raised her voice, relying on the fact that the patrolling NPC couldn't hear the words behind her, as if her loud voice made sense. "I'm just teaching you how to sneak in correctly, but you think I'm noisy? Listen carefully, Leticia, a true assassin should always have a humble heart like an apprentice. Only in this way can he become the dream lover of beautiful girls... ahem, I mean, to understand the true meaning of the doctrine. If you keep being so arrogant, sooner or later you will be dissolved in water, don't blame me for exaggerating, okay?"

There was a noisy voice in her mind. The first part was the discussion between Lingge and Saint Shalia, and the last part was undoubtedly Alice's nonsense. Leticia touched her nose, which was a little cold from the night sea water, and replied stiffly: "Alice, it's noisy, shut up and don't bother me."

"Hey, Leticia! You've been lying here observing for such a long time, why aren't you moving? Are you scared? If you are scared, let me do it. I've been a stealth master since I was a child. Everyone calls me Little Connor!"

You are not exaggerating, you are clearly making threats.

Leticia curled her lips in disdain: "I don't need you to teach me how to infiltrate. I was just observing their patrol routes. I will find a breakthrough soon, but you interrupted my train of thought. So, Alice, you are a sinner and you should be killed!"

She said two scary words at the end, but Alice didn't take it to heart. With a fearless spirit that put life and death aside, she continued to point fingers: "Look, you're here again. Have you forgotten that the complete synchronization goal of this mission is not to kill people? We just want to sneak into the Night Palace to meet Rorona, and we don't plan to become mortal enemies with the mirror elves. You have the idea of ​​killing people at every turn, please improve it!" "You're so annoying, Alice."

"You think I'm annoying after I said a few words to you. I just hope you can play games well instead of studying hard here all day!"

Is it the other way around?

Metien, who was also the spirit behind the scene, quickly came out to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, stop arguing. If you continue arguing, the game time will be up. Leticia, thank you for your hard work this time. If you can successfully complete this infiltration, I will accompany you to go out and play tomorrow, okay?"

When Lingge heard this, he wanted to tell his sister that she still had to make up for her homework tomorrow; when Saint Xia Liya heard this, she also wanted to tell Leticia that she still had to go to class tomorrow. But after thinking about it, the two of them kept silent and tacitly agreed to this condition. After all, they had to give the child some rewards so that she would play games well.

Obviously, Metien's conditions were very tempting to Leticia. She immediately perked up and said, "Is it a deal?"

"kindness!"

Leticia stopped fighting with the despicable Alice and focused her attention on the palace in front of her. With the help of the eagle eye perspective, she could clearly outline the route the patrol team passed, see the overlaps or omissions of the large and small warning circles, and observe the hidden sentries in the blind spots and high places... She collected this information one by one and finally formed a complete infiltration route map in her mind.

For some reason, even though her memory had been reincarnated once, Leticia was not unfamiliar with the gameplay and mechanism of this game, which saved Alice the energy of teaching novices again. Moreover, in terms of difficulty, this infiltration was actually easier than the last infiltration into the Froze Castle. After all, the alien races scattered around the castle were of complex composition and different talents and abilities, and often required corresponding strategies. At the moment, they only had to deal with the patrol team of the mirror elves.

In order to ensure the success of the infiltration, they also used an unconventional trick - that is, to ask a vampire countess to visit Queen Amyra at a good time to distract her. This was the method that the despicable Alice came up with. She still remembered the huge warning circle covering the entire cliff. The perception range of the demigod was so unreasonable that it was impossible to infiltrate through normal means.

As for another powerful demigod in the city of Nereids, the high priest of the priest group, Sandro, it is said that he is currently worrying about matters related to migration and has no time to pay attention to other things.

After eliminating all the difficulties, all that was left to do was to sneak into the Night Palace, find Lorena's room, and meet her.

"I'm going to fuck."

Leticia said lightly, and then without waiting for the spirits behind her to react, she pulled down her hood, took advantage of the brief gap between the two patrol teams, and jumped from the top of the tower. Her cloak fluttered in the air, and gently expanded with the flow of the sea water, like a black bat spreading its wings, sliding down silently, and rolling after touching the ground, immediately disappearing in the blind spot of the mirror elf soldiers' vision without being discovered.

The infiltration begins.
