A long whistle like a train whistle came from the sea, and then, a giant steel ship sailed towards the distant land amidst the billowing smoke and the huge roar of the steam engine. Its shuttle-shaped bow, as sharp as a sharp knife, split open the oncoming
The coming waves divided the seawater below into two fierce waves, flowing past both sides of the ship.
The fish on the bottom of the sea fled in all directions to avoid this whale, which was more terrifying on the surface than in the sea. About one kilometer away, the travelers silently watched its giant shadow go away, and soon it was gone.
It disappeared from the edge of sight, and its speed was even faster than the Yukikaze, which was blessed by the power of Ijeta's royal power.
"This is the power of technology!" Alice stood on the bow of the ship and rode the wind and waves. After seeing that the Yukikaze was defeated by this unknown steamer, she pretended to sigh: "It is much easier to use than the power of royal power." The oncoming waves splashed water droplets on the golden retriever maid's hair, and they hung on the ends of her hair and clothes. Her slightly moist breath made people feel refreshing. The sea breeze carried a salty smell of salt, which was very refreshing for her.
People who live by the sea may have long been accustomed to it, but for inland people it is a novel experience, so it is no wonder that Alice likes to stand on the bow of the boat and pose.
Maybe she will return to normal after her mood passes, but when will her mood pass? This is a question that even Saint Shalia cannot explain clearly.
Ringer ignored Alice's self-entertainment and stared at the back of the steamer as it went away, while silently reciting a number in his heart: the seventh ship.
This is already the seventh large cargo ship that has passed through their sight. Four of the six ships in front are more traditional three-masted sailing ships, and two are larger and more impressive steamships. In any case, this
The quantity is a bit too much. Lottana is a tourist city. Although the commerce is also very developed, it is basically dominated by luxury goods trade, and these goods obviously do not meet the specifications of large ships. In this case, these
What is the reason why the ship rushes to Lottana?
Looking from here, you can already see the shadow of the city of Lottana. The city is shrouded in gloomy clouds and looks like it is about to experience a violent sea storm. From April to June every year, the city is
This is a time period when natural disasters occur frequently in the coastal areas. The overall characteristics of these natural disasters are rapid formation time, short duration, small scale and frequent occurrence. Therefore, it can be said that this heavy rain is not unexpected, but it will have a negative impact on those who plan to stay in the city.
Tourists who had a wonderful vacation just brought some bad feelings.
However, once he associated the gloomy thick smoke spitting out from the towering chimney columns of the steamer with the black clouds, Lin Ge felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if he was suppressing the pressure at this moment.
What was over that city was not actually the cumulonimbus clouds formed by the movement of airflow, but the black shadow produced by the burning of coal, or the acid mist that evaporated after the steel was corroded.
This strange association always makes the shadow of another city appear in front of his eyes, his hometown, that sad city that is gradually submerged in the increasing number of factories and endless steel jungles, Linville City. At this time
At this moment, the images of the two cities overlapped strangely, as if they had the same characteristics in a certain aspect. But this is really strange. One is highly praised by tourists and was rated as one of the "Top Ten in Mainland China" by the "Western Continent Times"
"One of the livable cities" is a city surrounded by the sea, and the other is a sad city with nothing but history, and even history can only make people shed tears. Why do you associate them with each other?<
/p>
Ringer couldn't figure it out. He slowly withdrew his gaze and stared down at the water passing by the side of the ship. He saw the white foam tightly surrounding the ship like a garland, but it was soon crushed by the next wave and thrown away.
Flying, far behind. As he watched, his eyes gradually became serious.
Alice, who was still wandering in the sea-colored scenery at the bow of the ship, may not have noticed it, and St. Xalia, who was trying to persuade her to give up such a dangerous move, may not have cared either. Only Ringer could see that the color of the sea water in front of him did not seem to have the same color.
It was so pure and clear when they first set off. If it was a transparent sapphire before, now this sapphire has lost its original brilliance and is dim and silent. And, as they move forward, this dark color lingering in the sea water,
It’s becoming more and more obvious.
Even though Ringer is not a professional in this field, he still knows the simplest truth: the clarity of sea water is directly related to the water quality and pollution level of this sea area.
The gray clouds hanging over the city, the endless flow of large freighters, and the seawater that seems to be polluted... When you connect all these together, you can naturally draw a conclusion, although it is not a happy conclusion. Ringer glanced at the golden-haired maid who was still posing excitedly on the bow of the boat, and suddenly called her name: "Alice."
"Ah?" The golden-haired maid cast a puzzled look: "What's the matter?"
Lin Ge's words were concise and concise: "Be mentally prepared."
"What kind of mental preparation?"
Ringer didn't explain, maybe she felt no need to explain, she would understand once she saw it with her own eyes.
"What? It's mysterious." Alice muttered, expressing dissatisfaction with Ringer's way of pretending to be mysterious. It's enough for the Riddler to have Konatsu. Why are you, the leading actor of Asashi, competing with others?
What about the character? Do you know the rules?
On the other hand, Saint Xalia took a deep look at Linge and seemed to realize something.
But like Ringer, she didn't say anything, because Alice would soon understand.
……
When Alice is about to arrive at her dream resort, Lottana, on Cloud Whale Sky Island, a certain pink-haired little girl is facing an important choice in her life in her pharmacy workshop.
"Make a decision, Metien!"
"Make a decision, Metien!"
Two people said in unison.
On the left is Leticia, who was able to skip school because her grandma was supervising the construction process of the classroom. She came to invite Medien to accompany her to pick fruits in the forest, although she knew very well that the day the classroom was built, her leisurely life would
It no longer exists, but precisely because of this, she must seize the time and enjoy it in time! In this way, when she faces boring courses in the classroom in the future, she can proudly say that her human (blood) life no longer has any
Sorry!
On the right, while the two sisters were chatting with Ietta, Xie Mi had skipped her daily cleaning work. She wanted to invite Metien to accompany her to the vegetable garden to pick the ingredients for today's dinner. Although
She knew very well in her heart that this was just a last resort. When the eldest sister and the second sister came back, she would be furious because she had not completed the cleaning work, and might even hang herself up and beat her. But so what, in order to have fun with her friends, she, as a child,
The youngest of the three traveler fairy sisters, she can do anything!
However, unfortunately, the two people's ideas collided.
There is only one Metien, and two people are obviously not enough.
So, Metien, which side will you choose?
Between me and her, who is your best friend!?
Both of them (actually, none of them were human) stared at the pink-haired little girl, waiting for her answer.
"Uh."
The corner of Metien's mouth twitched, and her smile was a little awkward: Can she say that she doesn't want to choose either side? Because she still has the homework left by her brother to complete. If Linge comes back from Lottana City and finds that he can't even
If you haven't finished your homework, will you get angry and call yourself a "bad kid"?
You don’t want that kind of thing!
So.
"How about," she asked tentatively, "How about you stay and do my homework with me?"
