After this incident, Xino did go to everyone to apologize one by one, but no one took what happened that night to heart, and they didn't even think that there was any conflict between Xino and Alice. In their opinion,
This was just an exchange based on different opinions. As the protagonist, Alice patted her chest and swore to Xino that she, a talented player, would definitely live up to expectations and beat the Dark Witch and her construct mecha to pieces.
Then rush to the Ladiste, capture Tidis alive, and liberate the Full Mirror Star... and so on.
In her mouth, the witch association seemed to have become a wild dog on the roadside, which could bully people like Tiandis, Carabosse, and Feir at will, and it was not worthy of her to look at it seriously. Xino didn't even know that he
Should she agree or disagree? If she agrees, it feels like it boosts Alice's arrogance; if she disagrees, it seems like she has no confidence in herself. In the end, she can only smile and say nothing, letting Alice experience it herself.
Obviously, Alice understood this as an encouragement, so she left with great satisfaction. After that, she stayed in her room for several days. Even three meals a day were delivered to her by the landlady. It is said that she
She was adjusting the cassette, correcting the data of the Genesis mecha, and trying to enhance its performance. It can be seen that although she screamed fiercely, she did not really underestimate her opponent; or in other words, this battle had a negative impact on her.
The meaning is extraordinary, and it has reached the point where talented players must be careful and never make any mistakes.
This performance reminded Xino once again of that moonlit night, the conversation between herself and Linge in Tianxin Church, and she couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart. She must admit that the young man did have a penetrating heart.
Ability, his analysis and interpretation of Alice is obviously completely correct. The genius player is not driven by a strong sense of mission and justice like other girl queens, and devotes herself to this battle; instead, what supports her advancement is a
An escape mentality, escaping both reality and fantasy; escaping both the past and the future; escaping both others' expectations of oneself and one's own trust in the world.
However, how long can such escape last?
All it takes is one failure…
Whenever she thinks of this, Xino will shake her head slightly, forcing herself to dispel this ominous thought in her mind. She is the victorious king, and she should be confident of victory. Why does she start worrying about failure before the war starts?
She thought that what she had to do was actually very simple, it was nothing more than trusting her partners, waiting and hoping.
She withdrew her worried gaze, suppressed her uneasy thoughts, and focused on the task at hand, which was to persuade the aliens from the Forest of Loser to temporarily leave Cloud Whale Sky Island and live in the goddess's sanctuary to avoid the coming disaster.
The reason why I use the word "temporary" is that this sudden change has caused many heterogeneous groups to panic. Therefore, Xino had to promise as the heir of the Goldstaff family that as long as she was still a white thorn flower,
As a knight, the sacred covenant will never be forgotten. After the war subsides, she will return to the sanctuary and lead them back to the Mirror Star, and will surely usher in a better new home.
If order can defeat chaos, and Cloud Whale Sky Island can defeat the Witch Association, such a promise will naturally not be difficult to fulfill; but what if... then for these aliens, the initial star field that remains beyond the reach of the association may be
The only and best choice.
Under the persuasion of Xino and the landlady, most of the aliens on the empty island agreed to stay, including the aliens that Xino brought from the Forest of Loser and the deadwood demon clan who followed from the Xugen Swamp. After all, they were originally
The purpose of boarding the Cloud Whale Sky Island is to meet the Night Watchman and Order.
They have long been accustomed to a life of hiding. For these aliens, if it weren't for the fact that the Temple of Heaven is too remote, it is actually located at the end of the universe, far away from the world and civilization.
Land, otherwise, it is really a suitable place to live.
As for the magic herbs in the herbal garden, the potted plants in the hotel, the rabbit gentlemen, and the stone spirit guards responsible for taking care of them, they all chose to stay, no matter how the landlady tried to persuade them, and even threatened them to catch them.
Even though they were making soup, they were unmoved. But it is very likely that these simple-minded guys with low IQs actually don’t know what it means to stay. They just chose Cloud Whale Sky Island out of habit - or rather
, chose the Fairy Sleep Inn.
In Little Sun’s words: “We have stayed in hotels since we were born, and we will continue to stay in hotels and live in other places in the future? How is that possible?”
It couldn't even imagine leaving the Goblin Sleeping Hotel.
"It's very dangerous, isn't it?"
The landlady continued to persuade: "You may have to fight with the bad guys from the Witch Association. Do you think you can beat them, little Sun?"
Little Sun looked down at his weak leaves and couldn't help but shudder, but he was still very stubborn and refused to let go: "Yes, what's the big deal! Do you think I will be scared? Those bad guys from the Witch Association, come on.
If I fight one, they are no match for me! Oops!"
It made two pretentious gestures and almost tipped over its flowerpot. Fortunately, the landlady helped her in time, so the tragedy of destroying the pot and killing the flowers did not happen. The latter couldn't help laughing and rearranged the flowerpot, then stretched out his hand and gently
He patted its leaves and said: "Okay, I was kidding you about the fight.
Just leave it to us, there is no need to bother you to do it yourself. If you don't want to stay, just stay in the herb garden. If you are afraid, you can hide in the hotel, but apart from these two places,
Don’t run around anywhere else, and don’t cause trouble to other people, got it?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then don't worry, Sister Shesta..."
When the little sun said this enforced title, it paused obviously, as if it made itself sick. However, it quickly put away its unnecessary expression, overlapped the two leaves, and made a gesture similar to that of a human with arms folded across the chest.
Her movements, her expression serious and solemn, and her demeanor and tone when she spoke were all very Alice-like: "We are so well-behaved!"
If she didn't know what kind of moral character these guys have on a daily basis, the boss lady might have believed them.
However, the fact that they were willing to stay moved the landlady to a certain extent. She was deeply moved but also felt sad. She deeply felt that she was not a qualified host. In the past, when she was on Sherrel Street, in order to avoid being chased by the night watchman,
, even the herbal garden can only be placed in the city's sewers, relying on no
Intermittent banquets were held to cheer everyone up; after moving the hotel to Yunjing Sky Island, they did allow them to spend a period of freedom, joy and unrestrained time, but it did not last long. Soon, the war
The flames will spread to this place again, bringing these innocent little guys back to the dark and depressing days of the past.
The boss lady herself is not afraid of war. She has seen too many killings and sacrifices during her long journey, and even experienced the bloody dark period of the Silgilia Peninsula. At that time, the efficiency of the silver rabid dogs in killing aliens was far greater than yours.
Any war imaginable; she was just grieving for those lives that had never experienced peace since their birth, including two of her own
Fortunately, Siesta has completed her pilgrimage long ago and is no longer among the innocent. As for Semi, she is still on the pilgrimage. If she can complete it, she will definitely become a member of the traveler fairy clan.
It's a legend, after all, there has never been a traveler fairy who has taken the pace of pilgrimage to the universe, or even to the starting point of creation, the temple of the goddess. However, the question is, can it really be completed smoothly?
Then she thought of Mrs. Tree, and of the old man who had been away for a long time but still seemed to be living here. She was the first guest in the hotel and the longest guest. It was she who built the prototype of the herbal garden with her own hands and used it to
Her own magic power has cultivated these magical herbs with different personalities, and she is like a human being to them.
As great as a mother and as warm as the sun. However, this gentle and kind old man finally left, in a rainy season, to fulfill an agreement made long ago. At that time, he knew that she was leaving.
The little sun and the magic herbs were very sad, but how did I comfort them?
She said that everyone will have their own choice, and the meaning of life is that when one day you encounter a moment when you have to make a choice, being able to muster the courage to do it is the most important thing.
Therefore, these simple little guys have actually experienced life and death a long time ago. They are stronger than they think, so they can make the choice without hesitation to stay in this place with the atmosphere of Mrs. Tree, her students, everyone in the hotel, and
Those places where memories were condensed together. Instead, I was trapped by those weak and hesitant emotions, forgetting the warnings left by the elders.
The tradition of the Traveler Fairy clan may be wrong.
Even if they have completed their tour, they can continue to move forward, because the journey of life never ends. They will always meet new friends, experience new emotions, and understand new truths on the road.
Just like it is now.
"Um, sister Siesta——"
Little Taiyang had been secretly observing the expression of the landlady. Seeing that she had been silent for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He suspected that he had said something wrong and that he would be hit like a storm next. He was still young and not very mature.
Wanting to return to nature, and not wanting to be thrown to Saint Shalia for ideological re-education like Semi, he asked tremblingly: "You, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to take a rest?"
She seizes every opportunity to flatter and try to win the possibility of leniency for herself.
Seeing its sneaky and frightened appearance, the landlady's mood suddenly improved. She stood up, gently patted the dust off her skirt, and then said with a smile on Little Sun's frightened expression: "
It’s nothing, I’m just thinking, since everyone has chosen to stay, it shows that you still like the hotel very much. Then should I hold a banquet to respond to your wishes, and also to help boost everyone’s morale to cope with what’s next?
Great war."
The more she thought about it, the more reliable it became. She nodded without waiting for Little Yang's answer: "Well, that's a good idea. I have to go back and discuss it with Xie Liya and Xie Mi quickly, so that the process can be settled as soon as possible. Ah.
, Speaking of which, should we invite Miss Themis from Heaven to the banquet? Did she have any relationship with Alice and Xiaoxia in the past?
That's great. If we invite them, maybe they will agree? In this case, we might as well set the time of the banquet on the day before we leave. This should be regarded as... a farewell banquet? Even though we are the ones leaving.
It’s not her, but no one has stipulated that the person who is leaving cannot hold a farewell party for himself? Well, it’s completely reasonable!”
The landlady, who has never held a banquet since entering the universe, seems to be proud of her flash of inspiration, and does not bother to ask the little sun what it thinks - after all, its idea is not important, to be precise, in
When it comes to holding a banquet, everyone's thoughts don't matter. Everything depends on Siesta's own wishes. In short, she left the herb garden happily to prepare for the upcoming banquet.
In any case, Little Taiyang breathed a sigh of relief, but Shelia, who was cleaning the hotel, was not so lucky. The bartender only felt a chill running up her spine, and she shivered uncontrollably, muttering to herself.
He said: "Why do I have an ominous premonition? Could it be——"
“Thank you~Li~ya~~~”
A familiar voice came from far away. Before I saw the person, I heard it first: "I'm going to hold a banquet~ Let everyone in the hotel get ready~~~"
really.
The ominous premonition came true, and it came true so fast that he didn't even have time to find an excuse to escape.
Stomping, there was a sound of slightly hasty footsteps on the stairs. The next moment, a young man walked down the stairs and came to the first floor. After seeing Shelia who was in a sluggish state, his expression was a little unnatural, but
He quickly adjusted himself, coughed slightly, and said seriously: "I want to go out and check how Ovela and the others are preparing."
"I'll leave the hotel to you, Shelia."
At the end, he didn't know what his mood was, so he said in a complicated tone: "...Thank you for your hard work."
Then he left the hotel without looking back. His back was in a hurry, as if he was afraid that he would be caught if he was a little late. There were not many people in the world who could make Ringer so embarrassed.
The bartender watched the young man's back walking away, and it took a while before she realized: "Ah!"
"You actually left me and ran away alone, Ringer, you are so despicable!"
