Chapter 69: Have you become strong?
"That," a voice broke the stiff atmosphere in the restaurant. "Maybe I can answer this question instead of Alice?"
This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention. Except for Alice, who was hiding behind Saint Charlie and did not dare to look at Bai Ye, everyone all looked at the person who was talking. Facing the thoughtful or curious gaze of his companions, His Royal Highness of Beimang laughed dryly, and put a few layers of insurance on himself before explaining in detail: "It's okay in advance, this is just my guess, guess! It's not necessarily accurate, so if you say it wrong, you don't blame me."
Do you think she is willing to speak out in such an awkward atmosphere? Isn’t it necessary for someone to come out to change the topic, and she happens to have the ability. Although it’s just a guess, it’s better than letting Bai Ye continue to ask Alice, or let everyone criticize Bai Ye for being unkind? Alas, for the team atmosphere, I’ve really done my best. If Linger doesn’t let herself have a good dream at night, she will never end up with him.
The young man seemed not to hear Ovela's heart and frowned and asked, "What guess? If it is...well, if it is the plot in the novel, then there is no need to say it."
Ovela immediately glared at him and said angrily: "I'm not the kind of person who can't tell the difference between novels and reality!"
Besides, if you hadn't suddenly asked such a question, would the atmosphere on the scene become like this? I'm helping you to help you. If you don't know how to cooperate, just stay by your side, stupid Ling!
"Well."
Linge was frightened by the substantial resentment she exuded. Perhaps realizing that the current situation was caused by herself, he coughed twice awkwardly: "Cough! Then just talk about it, what kind of guess is it?"
The others also pricked up their ears and acted in a serious manner, wanting to hear what his princess Beimang had to say about it.
"Hmph."
Ovela hummed twice as he pretended to be, and experienced this feeling of attention, but soon woke up from her little sister Xiao Xia's vaguely unkind gaze and said honestly: "It's nothing, I just want to ask, do you still remember the fact that we escaped from the joint pursuit of the sect in Renweiting City, and were finally blocked by them on the Indossian Bridge?"
Of course remember.
Except for Shino, who had not participated in that incident, everyone was impressed by this incident, because it was the first time that the leader behind the witch association, the leader of the witch association appeared before everyone, revealing to them the concept of the witch association, the horrifying plan of the witch association and her true identity. It was also the most critical moment that the group encountered during the journey. From heaven to underground to Taver River, they were surrounded by the sects and the union. It was perfect to describe it as being unable to escape.
And they were finally able to escape from heaven, thanks to Alice's newly developed cassette "Dull of Genesis". In that duel, Gloria was still calm enough in the face of Alexander, a steam engine god who could reverse time and space, and finally drew a card that turned defeat into victory. Of course, now everyone knows that Gloria definitely does not have this ability. The person who really duels on the field is actually her personality. She was questioning Alice's white night in a cold tone just now.
I have to say that fate is really full of coincidence, bizarreness and contingency.
But what does this have to do with Tintis's royal power?
"Of course it's relevant!" Ovela was a little anxious when she saw that everyone had not understood what she meant. Why are you so stupid? Of course she didn't dare to say that, probably she would be attacked by the crowd. Even Linger couldn't protect her - she might not be able to protect her. So she could only try to maintain a calm tone and reminded little by little: "Although we did rely on Alice's new cassette to escape, do you still remember that the escape method we prepared at the beginning was not this. At that time, Alice had another cassette in her hand that was not in a cool state, that-"
"Dark Castle: The Moon Altair."
Alice said calmly, but when everyone's eyes fell on her, she turned her head back.
Ovela did not notice the reaction of the genius player and clapped happily: "It's this. Alice was ready to use this card to escape the blockade circle of the sect union, but after that something happened that made us fail to escape successfully. I think everyone should still remember that matter?"
After she said this, everyone really had an impression. Linger frowned and slowly spit out a few words from her mouth: "The cassette...is invalid?"
"That's right!"
Ovela pointed his head vigorously: "It was obvious that there was no problem with the game console and the cassette, but it failed to start. And shortly after that, Tiantis appeared in front of us. It was not strange at the time, but after thinking about it, don't you think this coincidence?"
"So do you think this is triggered by the royal power of Tempis?" Sancharia reexamined her sister with a surprised look, and exclaimed without any sarcastic sarcasm: "I didn't expect you to have such a sharp side, Ovela."
Ah this!
Although she was praised by Sister Xiao Xia, what happened?
As for why Ovela has always remembered this, and has not forgotten it until now, there is of course a reason: at that time, if Alice's cassette did not fail, the person who wanted to fight head-on with the pursuers who joined forces with the sect became her. Her princess of Beimang was already mentally prepared, and even if she sacrificed her life, she would have to protect her companions, but the final result... was like a punch that hit the air, which made people unable to let go.
Well, no matter what, at least the ending is good?
"According to your words, is Tiantis's royal power the ability to inactivate the game console?" Linger speculated, then shook his head and denied his speculation: "No, this is too limited. The ability of the queen's royal power is the embodiment of the law, and it should be a broader concept. Since Alice's gaming console is essentially her royal power, corresponding to the law of fantasy, then Tiantis's royal power corresponds to reality, that is,... the ability to kill all fantasies?"
Alice's body trembled suddenly, and she raised her head and looked at Ovela with disbelief, as if she could not accept the conclusion.
Ovela was startled by everyone's reaction, her neck shrank, and she was obviously a little unconfident: "I just said it casually, it was just a guess, it might not be true, right? Ahha, ahhaha..."
The more she smiled, the more guilty she felt. In the end, she simply buried her head deep and did not dare to look directly at Alice's gaze. After all, the facts were here, and the other impossible assumptions were ruled out, Linger's guess was the closest.
Alice stared at Ovela for a while, then silently withdrew her gaze, looking at the food left on the plate, and somehow, she suddenly lost her appetite. But strangely, there was no extra emotion in her heart at this moment. The anger, disappointment or pain she thought she should have, did not exist. In the end, even the numbness disappeared, her heart was empty and she could not remember anything.
The girl suddenly stood up, and the "slam" sound made by the chair rubbing back against the floor seemed particularly harsh, but it was not as good as the low-key sentence she said: "I'm full."
St. Charlie wanted to call her, but before she could do it, Alice didn't give everyone time to react. She just threw down this sentence on her own and turned around and walked upstairs. Linger could guess without using her brain that she must have wanted to go back to her room to compete for the game console that could not be played well, as if it didn't matter whether it could be repaired. This behavior has become a channel for genius players to escape from reality. Everyone knows that this is unhealthy, but no one can say anything to keep. She can only watch her walk to the stairs, and the footsteps gradually fade away.
"Sister Alice!"
At this time, Metien suddenly plucked up the courage and shouted: "Tomorrow, tomorrow, Kadora will come to Tianxin Church to attend the baptism ceremony and officially become a believer of the Goddess! You, are you going to come to watch the ceremony?"
The footsteps on the stairs suddenly paused, and Metien stared at the back and said word by word: "Cadora, Mitch, and everyone, are all looking forward to playing the game you made, Sister Alice!"
So, will you still work hard just to let everyone enjoy the fun of the game like in the past?
Under her nervous and expectant gaze, the back on the stairs stagnated for a few seconds. Time seemed to freeze around her. The brief silence even made people feel suffocating. But soon everything returned to reality. She said nothing, just walked up to the second floor without saying a word, and the footsteps quickly disappeared.
But even if Alice left, the atmosphere in the restaurant did not improve at all. Metien couldn't hide the disappointed expression on his face. Saint-Charliea sighed lightly and comforted the girl in a low voice. Overa buried her head lower and almost hid under the table, afraid that others would notice her. Shino looked at the stairs where Alice disappeared and looked helpless. Rolena shook her head with regret. Iyeta was dejected, even the feathers on her wings were listless. Letticia, who was the most disagreeable with Alice, did not mock her at this time, but just frowned. I don't know if it was dissatisfaction or unwillingness. The boss's wife tried hard to liven up the atmosphere, but unfortunately it was useless. Everyone's mind was no longer on dinner.
Only Bai Ye still looked calm and was indifferent to Alice's departure. She used a spoon to dig the last bit of mashed potatoes in the saucer, cleaned up her own portion of food, as if she had just completed a daily work. She stood up, ignored the focus of everyone's eyes, and left a faint sentence: "I'm full too."
She also turned around and left the restaurant, but walked out of the hotel. No one knew where she was going, just as no one had truly understood this introverted and indifferent personality.
For young people, this is a very familiar feeling, but he suddenly feels that this kind of thing seems to have happened too frequently recently. Is there anything that is destroying everyone's confidence and cooling everyone's enthusiasm? Or is this a stage that every team that wants to mature must go through? First, there are internal contradictions, and then external pressure. If the former cannot be solved, it cannot be considered a qualified leader; if the latter cannot be solved, it cannot be considered a qualified group.
Therefore, you have to overcome this hurdle.
"Be stronger, Linge." The voice sounded in the young man's ears again, reminding her of her expectations for him. Linge subconsciously looked at a girl with long crystal blue hair on the dining table. She happened to be looking at Linge, her eyes as bright and clear as a shallow sea. She squinted slightly, and smiled as beautiful as a crescent moon.
Yes, being stronger is what you look like as a leader.
"Leave it to me."
The young man suddenly spoke, "Leave the matter between Alice and Bai Ye to me, I'll solve it."
He rarely acted like this, nor did he say such a sure word. Generally, he was "I do my best" or "I'll try". The significant difference was naturally captured by keen girls - yes, it was also captured by not girls. For example, the countess looked at the young man deeply and made an intriguing hum from his nose. No matter what this means, at least she was quite satisfied with the look of looking at Linger.
"Don't we need help, Linger?"
Saint Charlie asked with concern: "If you are the only one, you will be too tired. I am their sister, so I will help you too?"
Well, although Alice was born earlier than Saint Charlie and Bai Ye was even more of a personality, the shepherd girl still put herself in her sister's position as always, and I'm afraid even the parties involved would not question it, as if this was a matter of course.
If it were in the past, Ringer would have considered St. Charlie's proposal. After all, he had to face two problems alone, and he was indeed unable to catch up. But he was determined to become a qualified leader and was now in a stronger state, so he naturally refused her without hesitation: "No need, Kadora's baptism ceremony will be held tomorrow. I am worried that Metien and Miss Livia will be too busy, so please help. As for Alice and Bai Ye's affairs, it will be enough to leave it to me, and I will solve it."
He repeated the same words again.
At the dining table, the girls looked at each other: Why did Linger become weird after Alice and Bai Ye? Of course, with Alice, who escaped by herself and Bai Ye who felt cold, this change was at least positive, right?
"oops."
In the corner where no one noticed, Princess Haiqi smiled happily, and a strange blush floated on her sick and pale cheeks all year round: "It seems that she has really become very strong."
