The sky in Avalon is sunny, and the residents of Gensokyo like it very much—what is the most profitable thing to do in the 21st century? Tourism! For a lucrative business, all you need is a piece of geomantic land, a bad mouth, a group of old Taoist priests who sell jade, and then two fortune-tellers and palm readers. Basically, except for natural disasters, man-made disasters, financial crises and failures in robbing, you can do this business It will definitely not lose money.
At least in theory.
The huge transport carrier rarely appears in the airspace of Avalon, because I always feel that environmental protection is very important to this picturesque place where spring is always like spring, but this time is an exception. Under my spare no effort to flicker, the majority of Fantasy Township residents expressed their desire to see the beautiful scenery of Xanadu District, the capital of the empire, as soon as possible. Atlantis teleportation also needs to open a huge space rift in the sky of Avalon. One cent is one cent's central idea, and the transport mothership did not open the door independently, and entered the country directly in Avalon.
The spaceship so huge that it can block the sky slowly pokes its head out from the huge crack in the sky, casting a thick shadow like a dark cloud on the endless green grassland, startling countless small animals that have sex in the grass. Because the size is too large, the transport mothership cannot directly land on this original ecological grassland, so it is suspended at a height of one or two kilometers above the ground, and then everyone changes to a small transport plane to land. Of course, there are also many monsters who are used to it. Flying by themselves, they want to experience whether the air in the other world is salty or not, so when the transport plane flew down, it was followed by a large group of small black spots flying around in a mess, which looked like a broken plane from a distance. It seems to be dropping parts while flying. Many residents of Gensokyo were amazed by the beautiful scenery of Avalon long before leaving the spaceship. They all expressed their real envy for Hakurei Reimu and Yakumo Zi working in such a place with good conditions and complaining. Feeling jealous and hated, and expressed their strong desire to invest in building houses here.
Hakurei Reimu scathingly criticizes and expresses deep concern about the optimism of the monsters, while Zi Yakumo pointed out that a certain unscrupulous boss is completely playing the concept of cheating, using a bright future and a whitewashed property The background is used to deceive the owner to move in, and after the contract is signed, the real face of the exploiter will be revealed. His behavior is equivalent to pointing at the Chacha building and telling new employees that this is our company's office building when the labor contract is signed. Only then did I realize that the boss hadn’t finished talking at the time, and that his office was in Room 404 on the fourth floor of the Chacha Building, and he had to share a cubicle with two Feng Shui fortune-telling companies.
I had a half-hour-long argument with these two blunt-mouthed guys, trying to prove that I had no intention of cheating monsters from the very beginning, well, even though I didn't believe it myself.
The final result was that I had to agree to make up for the deducted bonuses Yakumo Zi and Hakurei Reimu had when they worked part-time. The two masters unanimously changed their tone and announced their enthusiastic support for the demolition and resettlement of Gensokyo—it seems that as long as there is enough Driven by profit, Reimu will definitely sell the entire Gensokyo without hesitation, and even Zima will help count the money...
The transport plane landed smoothly on the vast prairie. This is an area newly born as the World Tree continues to grow. There is no clear administrative division yet. Even the ecological environment here, Artemis has only surveyed it. half. It was tentatively named "Morning Wind Grassland", and it was shaken by Ding Dong from the "Name Collection" of the World Tree. It was much better than the original "Grass Mud Horse Prairie".
"Whoo! Prairie!!"
As soon as she got out of the transport plane, Cirno started running on the prairie like a convulsion. The unprecedentedly wide space and the natural power of the surroundings made her, a fairy, fall into a state of excitement. There is no such an exaggerated large area that is only used for growing grass. Since it is impossible to see any other landforms from a distance, Cirno is very curious about what the prairie will encounter at the end. In order to prevent her from really running to the end of the world, we can only tie her up and drag her back.
As an ice fairy, you should freeze frogs and make sorbet as your own ⑨, and you must pretend to be a little mouse on the prairie... Nazling, come back to me!
It took me a lot of effort to gather up the monsters that ran around as soon as they landed. During the process, I consumed at least forty meters of rope and a dozen collars. I myself was in the process of catching those running around About 30 or 40 tooth marks have been harvested, but as the leader of the monsters, Yakumo Zi at least expressed his support for the work of his boss this time: those energetic guys represent the tens of thousands of demolition households in Gensokyo. I went to investigate the situation in the new home, but now it seems that there is no possibility for them to take care of themselves, so some compulsory comfort measures are necessary. I believe that after a while, these monsters will not run around.
At this moment, a low whistling sound came from high above the sky. It seemed to be the sound when the wind at the upper level was blocked by some large object and changed direction urgently. A shadow larger than the size of the transport carrier gradually covered the people around us. Grassland, I looked up, the floating island of Atlantis has protruded out of the gate of space at this moment, and now it is moving the other half of its body out.
"Wow..." Wenwen looked up at the magnificent air continent protruding from the space crack, and exclaimed softly. When Atlantis appeared in Gensokyo, the teleportation was completed in the middle of the night, and The entry point is at a height that is almost invisible to the naked eye. No one saw with their own eyes how the floating island accomplished the feat at that time. This is something Wenwen has always regretted, but this time, she feasted her eyes.
The Tengu girl held up her camera and took a lot of shots. Later, she seemed to feel that taking pictures on the ground was not enough, so she just flapped her wings and flew into the sky. The orange meow, who was also looking up at the sky, was blown away by the huge wind It was several meters away, and Yakumolan felt distressed.
But I looked at the huge shadow on the ground and began to think about a problem: if something as big as Atlantis is blocked here, the entire prairie and a large area nearby will be plunged into darkness, and now this is still Atlantis Only a small half of it leaked out, and it was very dark around us and it didn't reach the level of midnight, but if all this stuff came out...
Undoubtedly, the lighting market in Avalon will usher in an unprecedented vigorous development, and the residents here will definitely protest against the lighting problem—there is a lot of attention to the distance between buildings this year, and you put a radius above people’s heads. With a sun visor of 100 kilometers, which owner does not get angry? .
I told Sandora about this situation, and the latter also felt that this was indeed a problem.
Sandora and I are having a headache because Atlantis hovers over Avalon, which will cause ecological problems, and it is too troublesome to re-modify the optical laws of Avalon (mainly because the jingle may mess everything up) At that moment, a cheerful greeting suddenly came from afar, with a feeling of reunion between the couple who had a sweetness of six plus: "Ah Jun—"
I followed the prestige and saw a large group of people rushing towards this direction. The first one with a sense of presence was Qianqian, then my sister and Lin Xue, and then a large group of people, big and small. Small loli or pseudo-loli, such as Bubble, Lilina and Rozen Maiden, Ilya sat on the shoulder of bererer and landed at the back, and now she is flashing a flashlight next to Uncle B’s face to indicate To overtake, I think Uncle B must be enjoying it now, and his tears of happiness flowed down.
Marisa stared blankly at such a mighty group of people rushing towards them, her legs trembled a little on the spot, and the little witch who was fearless was not fearless. The guy who "borrowed" things in the local area was most frightened when a group of chasing troops rushed towards him, so now she was stunned, pulling my arm and shaking it fiercely: "Hey! What did you do to those girls! They are Come to find you desperately!"
I can't imagine how a group of cheering girls running over would have to go through twisted reasoning to form a desperate posture in Marisa's mind.
"Ajun, Ajun~! You are back! The carnival is so boring without Ajun's company!" Qianqian took off with a few meters away, and threw herself into the arms of her lover with a thud, rubbing against my chest fiercely. After a long time, I left with a smile on my face. I quickly took out Ding Dong from my breast pocket. The mosquito coil was still shining in the latter’s eyes, and he narrated everything just now in a small voice: "It’s too fast...everything is going to happen." Too fast... bang, jingle flat..."
"I didn't expect it to be so magnificent." With a soft smile, my sister straightened the messy collar and tinkling wings on my chest, while looking up at Atlantis, which is gradually occupying most of the sky. , a few little ones jumped up and down beside me: "Where's the mercury lamp? Where's the mercury lamp?"
Cui Xingshi and the others missed their elder sister very much because they hadn't seen each other for a few days - if this was a few months ago, they would not have dared to look for their terrible elder sister so eagerly.
"I'm here," a cold voice came from mid-air, and then I felt my shoulders sink. The little puppet girl sat lightly on my shoulders, dangling her legs and began to play on the swing. "Don't ask, I'm so boring, I've been staying on the boat, stupid humans won't let me go to the battlefield, not even the Mercury Lantern Corps."
I raised my hand and knocked on Xiaodeng's head. When I came out this time, I didn't plan to take this little guy with me. It was her hard-working kung fu and that half of a small canine tooth that forcibly changed my mind, but when it came to fantasy After Xiang found that the situation was a bit complicated, I still insisted on keeping her on the boat. Now it’s fine, the boat was quiet, and when I got home, Mercury Lamp began to complain to my sisters.
… By the way, Xiaodeng who can play such a temper seems pretty cute, right
In short, now we are having fun as a family, telling each other interesting stories about the past few days of separation, but a voice rang out at this moment: "This is..."
A tall girl with short blond hair, a red headband, and a heavy book under her arm, who looked about sixteen or seventeen, suddenly squeezed out from the crowd in Gensokyo, and looked at the crowd in amazement. Doll girls at my feet.
"Puppet? No one controls... a puppet!?"
Marisa looked in surprise at the blond girl who was gradually showing interest in research: "Hey, Alice, you didn't just find out now, did you? I didn't see this doll called Mercury Lamp flying around when I was on the boat... Oh, I see, you must be alone in the room talking to the puppet again, and you don’t meet dze when you eat, it’s really hopeless.”
When Marisa said this, I immediately remembered who this strange girl was: Alice Margat Lloyd, well, the name is a bit long, Alice for short, she is a resident of Gensokyo who lives in the Magic Forest, and Marisa is also a very powerful witch. It seems that she is good at manipulating magic dolls, and her biggest interest is usually studying magic dolls. Unlike Marisa who is always active and rushing around, this Alice seems to belong to A guy like Otaku, who is always with the magic dolls he made or is obsessed with research. I didn’t see her come out even in big scenes such as the Gensokyo crisis and the battle of Atlantis, so Not very familiar.
But now I'm impressed with her—I'm still the first person who dares to make a swoop at a mercury lamp when I meet him for the first time.
"Hey! What are you doing, you idiot!" Quickly dodging Alice who was flying towards him, Mercury Lamp yelled dissatisfiedly, "Idiot human being, quickly pull this crazy woman away!"
Alice waved the magic book in her hand a little anxiously, as if she wanted to fly up to grab the mercury lamp: "I just... just want to see... Are you really talking by yourself? No one controls it? Who made you? You have a name Is it?"
Since Mercury Lamp came to the house due to a series of chaos, it was the first time I saw her fall into such an embarrassing predicament again. Facing the little girl's plea for help, not only did no one go up to help, even the elder sister showed mercy. The expression of interest began to watch the show, Mercury Lamp dodged Alice's pounce many times in a row and saw that the other party also started to release the puppet to intercept him, and finally became angry, and waved his small hand in the air: "This is what you asked for!" Come out! The King's Mercury Lantern Legion!"
Just when Alice was in a daze, countless rippling water-ripple-like space doors appeared in the surrounding air simultaneously. Countless three-headed, 60m-high cartoon doll version mercury lamps poked their heads out of these space doors. Wearing a variety of uniforms, carrying a carbine or the heart of the sun, wearing a soldier's helmet or a pirate hat, with serious expressions, they appeared on the plains and mid-air in neat steps, and quickly formed a group under the command of the mercury lamp. Attack the array and surround Alice and the puppets she released.
Gilgamesh jumped up and down behind me and yelled, "Infringement! This is my skill! This is naked infringement! This king is going to sue you at the urban management brigade! This king is looking for your parents!"
I patted Jill's sister: "Her parents are here, please sue."
Jin Shining glanced at me ferociously, then looked down at Little Bubble, who was fueling the mercury lamp, and suddenly turned her head and burst into tears: "I'm waiting for you bastards! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
I think Jill's abnormal behavior now has an indistinguishable connection with the game where she was pulled by Cirno to play g with Ding Dong before, and the three dumb hairs testify.
Surrounded by the overwhelming three-headed dolls, Alice's simple magic dolls immediately fell into a disadvantage. Although Mercury Lamp didn't hit hard, those dolls were still beaten down by a few magic sisters Mercury Lamp. Alice herself showed a very tenacious fighting power. After twelve seconds of fierce confrontation, the witch with superb skills and superb magic power successfully prevented herself from retreating, and fought with more than a dozen three-headed mercury lamps from bottom to top. A confrontation was reached: just as this unlucky girl who was not good at fighting was overturned by Kusanagi Kyo Mercury Lamp, a dozen dolls were piled up on her body, and now her head was still outside.
"This is... this is a puppet's puppet... it's amazing!" Alice raised her head with difficulty, "I must know how this technique is done, do these other dolls also have this..."
"It's a pity," Cui Xingshi crossed his waist and gave me a sideways glance, "Said someone is a very eccentric father!"
You nonsense, if there is another Titan Emerald Stone, the book will be renamed Toy Story!
"Okay, little lamp, it's almost ready, this is a guest," I stepped forward and pressed the small head of Jade Star Stone, while beckoning to let the mercury lamp return to my shoulder, and I was enthusiastically touching Alice A group of three-headed people climbing up the "Puppet Mountain" suddenly scattered, chirping and running away without a trace, "Alice, right? If you want to learn advanced doll-making skills, just sign here— With the Gensokyo Housing Security Card, you can get a half-price discount on tuition, and you can also exchange real magic skills with many talented magicians you can't even imagine. Don't hesitate, sign this contract and become a magical girl~! !"
Alice got up in confusion and glanced at me distrustfully, but soon her attention was attracted by the piece of paper in her hand:
