Chapter 61 Seeking Apprenticeship
It's been a week since John was attacked by a giant puppet in the underground passage of the Windmill Tower.
After Alice knocks down the golem that day, Eliezer and Sophia emerge from the depths of the tunnel.
"Sister Alice...... what are you doing here?"
"Ah~~!My Donkey Kong No. 11 was broken by my sister~~!"
"Don't throw dangerous toys in places like this!!"
Unsurprisingly, the underground passage was dug by Ariza to build a transportation network that could quickly move supplies around the city. The place where Alice and the others were attacked by the puppets was directly below the Lord's Mansion, near Alize's research room.
The puppet, known as Donkey Kong 11, was used in the creation of Hilda's body, and unsurprisingly, the brains of the bandit leader were buried in them.
It has to be said that it was quite a crazy experiment, and Eliezer performed all kinds of dissections and modifications on the poor man. Even his memories and sensory nerves have been tampered with and manipulated as he pleases. If it were on Earth, such inhumane research would undoubtedly be taken to court immediately.
After Hilda's perfect release, Gorilla 11 was used by Arizel and placed near the underground research chamber to become a faithful mechanical janitor. In other words, it is waste utilization, but Alize still put a lot of effort into it, and its basic performance is surprisingly high, basically reaching the level of B-level Warcraft.
However, the brains of the bandit leaders buried inside the puppets still seem to show a strong hostile reaction to Alice's visit. After that, it was closed and mothballed by Ariezel for safety.
Speaking of the trap of the windmill tower, Ariza said that it was not deliberately set, but may have been caused by the poor contact of the magic guide line. Originally, there should be an elevator directly below the pothole, of course, no one except Alizza knows how to activate the elevator, and it is no different from a trap for ordinary people.
As for the noise coming from the top of the windmill tower, it is a high-frequency mosquito sound. Designed with a high-frequency sound range that only young children can hear, this is done to protect the "special equipment" on the top of the windmill tower, which effectively drives away children who often play by the river and prevents them from easily approaching the windmill tower.
If you want to ask what the so-called "special equipment" is, Alezel gives a jaw-dropping answer. It was actually a [Memory Interference Device].
Undoubtedly, it is a magic device that can emit trace electromagnetic waves at a fixed frequency and continuously affect the hippocampus of the human brain. The so-called hippocampus, terminated as Hippocampus, is an important organ tissue in the human brain responsible for short-term memory storage.
To briefly summarize the role of the windmill tower top device, that is - brainwashing. Memories that are emphasized countless times in the hippocampus are passively transferred through neurons to the cerebral cortex, becoming subtle and permanent memories. Through the twenty-four hours of non-stop mental suggestion, Arizer succeeded in inducing everyone's minds to accept and believe in some memories that were beneficial to them.
Using this principle, Arizel continuously projects electromagnetic pulses onto the townsfolk to create false memories. These include the night raid on the city of Celeria, the mutation of the ladies of the lord's mansion, and the resurrection of the demon dragon on the mountain.
In fact, until not long ago, Alice had been naΓ―ve enough to think that the reason why the townspeople of Silia were able to accept so many changes was because they were broad-minded and the people were simple...... It may also be that the countryman is simpler-minded. But this is not the case.
She couldn't have imagined that those situations that would have caused suspicion and even panic could be quelled through a magic guide.
It's just an evil tool that tramples on human rights, and that's something that only a mad scientist can think of. If Alizer had the will, she could manipulate people's hearts at a deep level at any time, even if it was easy to turn everyone into obedient puppets like religious fanatics.
Fortunately, Aliezel still has a good conscience and did not take the opportunity to spread any terrible poisonous radio waves. At the same time, she also promised her sisters that she would never use this to do some too out-of-the-ordinary memory transformation in the future.
Although Alice, who has a good outlook, wants to stop her sister's crazy machine, even if she stops the [Memory Interference Device] now, I'm afraid it's already too late, and basically the memories of the townspeople have already been tampered with beyond recognition.
And the thought of how vital this machine would be to the peace and tranquility of the town forced Alice to compromise.
So, let's put Eliza's crazy invention aside for a moment.
Then again, the lord's mansion of Celia has added a lovely maid - an orc boy named Cam.
Don't doubt it, not wrong, Cam became a maid. For the time being, Selena is in charge of educating him to do housework.
Maybe it's because the youngest and most confused little maid in the house finally became a senior. It could also be because of the maid's clothes that she had trimmed with her own hands, which looked unusually good on Cam's body at this time. In short, Selena was putting on an inexplicably proud look.
Indeed, Cam's maid outfit fits well, and the fit is simply horrible...... The snow-white apron outlines the delicate curves, and the frills and bow ties embellish the simplicity with a touch of magnificence.
However, Cam is a boy.
The silver bangs are neatly trimmed and shiny along with the bright eyes and smooth forehead. The delicate voice, as well as the timid look that instigates motherhood.
However, Cam is a boy.
Compared with the three sisters, the figure is slightly taller, but the lines of the body appear quite slender. The color of the skin is also very white, the pink lips are soft and shiny, and the small sharp tiger teeth are exposed in the gap between the lips.
However, Cam is a boy.
Celia has fully entered the spring season, the warm sun is shining in the fields, and the townspeople are working in the fields every day with vigor.
However, Cam ...... It's a boy!
- Why is such a cute child a boy!?
Perhaps in a particular industry, "gentlemen" have a unique concept that "such a cute child can't be a girl", but Alice is normal.
So she couldn't understand the anomalous contrast.
You know, in terms of cuteness, Alice is also quite confident. And recently, she has gradually become accustomed to her face in the mirror, and her immunity to beautiful women has been significantly improved, even if it is the epic and arduous task of bathing alone.
But despite this, Cam's cuteness is also abnormal, abnormal enough to frustrate Alice.
So, Alice resolutely went deep into the groping hand of the beast-eared young maid.
It must be made clear here that Alice is not a "gentleman" in the special sense of the word, but only true to her curiosity, and bravely searches for answers with the scientific spirit of exploring the mysteries of living things.
"Love, Miss Alice...... Please, please don't be like this, your expression is terrible......"
Probably because of the consciousness of being a "slave", or maybe Cam's weak and gentle personality caused him to be unable to resist fiercely, so he could only plead with a helpless look and tears in the corners of his eyes.
To reiterate, Alice is by no means a "gentleman", she is just a pure "seeker of truth", and she always examines the wonderful creatures in front of her with a rational eye - no wonder.
CAM'S SEDUCTIVE LOOK ON HER BLUSHING FACE INSTANTLY DESTROYED ALICE'S RATIONALITY, MAKING HER INSTANTLY TRANSFORM INTO AN OUT-AND-OUT "HENTAI".
"Oh oh oh! too, it's amazing, it's amazing...... It's so soft!What kind of structure is this!Whehehehe~~"
She began to rub her hands up and down her body, as well as the furry ears and tail that had nothing to do with her gender.
"Aha~~ Sister Alice is like a ββ uncle who does ββ to a girl in the subway~~"
Aliezel on the side made a very apt analogy with the criminals who are commonplace on Earth.
"It's wrong, it's not me that's wrong...... It's bad for the nasty ears and tails! But, damn it...... The door to a new world has been opened!"
As she spoke, Alice put on a complicated and confused expression, I don't know whether she felt deep pain for her own fall, or intoxicated by the comfortable feel, in short, the smile made people retreat.
"No, close that door, Sister Alice. β
Sophia on the side had the same cold expression as always...... If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the temperature on her face at this time has obviously dropped several degrees than usual.
She clenched her fists and hammered hard into the head of her stupid sister, stopping her from harassing the servants in the house.
"It doesn't hurt!"
"I saved Cam, he's my own maid. β
Just a flaw in the blink of an eye, Sophia took back her own "pet" from Alice.
"Don't, don't be so stingy! Rub it again!
"Don't. Sophia carried Cam's head in her arms and dodged Alice's surprise attack with fluent movements, "If you haven't rubbed enough, Sister Alice will use Selena to make do." β
"Ah......! Three, third miss, you, have you abandoned me? That night...... Is it just for fun...... me?"
But for some reason, Sophia's words suddenly made Selena on the side suddenly sob, like a resentful woman abandoned by her husband.
"Selena is a girl, and she doesn't have cat ears!"
"You're wrong, it's not cat ears, it's tiger ears...... The coat color of the Kam, the breed is undoubtedly the noble Bengal tiger. β
"Aha~~ It's all felines, that's right~~ Selena's eyes are barely felines~~"
"Woooooooooo......oo The ladies are too good...... It's too much!"
So in this chaotic land where there are only maidens (?), Alice and Sophia sisters start a fierce battle afterwards.
As a result, as always, the eldest daughter Alice was defeated......
As the referee's second daughter, Ariza, hugged Ricky from beginning to end, buried her chin between the pair of small and soft cat ears (tiger ears?), and smiled contentedly.
---
In the evening, the defeated Alice came to the river, looked at the burning sunset clouds in the sky with a melancholy face, and sighed deeply.
"Alice!"
At this moment, suddenly the call of a teenager came from behind her.
"Ah...... John. I haven't seen ...... for days."
Alice turned her head and gave a feeble greeting to the young man behind her, who was putting on a resolute and serious look.
"Alice, take me as an apprentice!"
β...... Huh?"
Alice was a little dumbfounded by this sudden request.
"I said, take me as an apprentice!"
Young John repeated, and fell to his knees on the ground.
He probably hesitated and struggled for a long time for this request, and today he finally mustered up the courage to come here. Of course, if he hadn't met Alice at the secret base by the river, he planned to visit the Lord's Mansion directly.
β...... John, do you want to learn from a teacher?"
"Yes, I want to be strong!"
"Good...... But my practice was very hard. β
"No matter how hard the request is, I have come to my senses!
"Okay, then...... From tomorrow......" Alice narrowed her eyes, she paused, and after seeing John swallow because of nervousness, she said in a very harsh tone, "- you are to wear a maid's dress." β
"Huh......?"
This time, John was dumbfounded.
