Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Alice Wants to Get Stronger
["Bastard! What are you doing!" Lingyi expressed his full displeasure with Alice who rudely rode on top of him, "I am the great Primordial Dragon."]
["Stop blabbering! If I can’t ride the Star Abyss White Dragon, can’t I ride you?!" Alice clung tightly to Lingyi’s neck.]
["Damn it! Why is this horse climbing up too! Isn’t it also a mount?!" Lingyi saw Alice’s Little Horse running onto her back as well, and became even more furious.]
["It’s my family!" Alice replied righteously.]
["Family? What’s its name?" Lingyi asked suspiciously.]
["Ah..." Alice blinked, she was actually terrible at naming.]
Indeed, Shen Sui in front of the screen completely agreed with this assessment. He still didn’t know on what basis Alice named her puppets.
Names like Natasha or Ada could certainly be names, but there always had to be a basis, right?
[Alice thought for a moment, then said to Lingyi: "It’s called Golden Ship."]
Shen Sui stumbled, almost falling off the ship.
Damn Golden Ship!
[You expressed doubt about Alice’s naming.]
[Alice said with unusual firmness: "There’s nothing wrong! Little Horse is very good at fishing, and the vehicle for fishing is generally a ship, isn’t calling it Ship very reasonable?"]
["Then what does this have to do with gold?"]
["Because I’m short of money." Alice extended her hand to you, "Also, where’s my pocket money?"]
[You refused to pay Alice’s pocket money and made your own retort: "Golden Ship, then I’m the East Sea Emperor. Sea is related to fish, Emperor declares my future aspirations..."]
[Alice’s eyes sparkled: "Makes sense!"]
[Lingyi carried the group over Paiyiga City, and after finding Qishala and Hali, both Alice and your objectives were achieved.]
[At this time, the war outside Paiyiga City had come to an end, and both sides had a bloody face-to-face confrontation on this plain. Even if the people at the front realized that this was a misunderstanding, no one dared to take a step back, as the comrades surging up from behind would crush them, only advancing could give them a chance of survival.]
[Blood stained the ground, and the air was filled with the scent of blood.]
[The ground was covered with the bodies of dead Thunder Believers.]
[The main force of the Church of the Master of Thunder finally annihilated the Roland Alliance Army.]
[However, when they advanced into Paiyiga City, there was no trace of the Star Abyss White Dragon anymore.]
[Thunder surged in the air, and having regained his sense of the believers, he seemed to be furious about this matter.]
[Alice sat on Lingyi, looking down at the scenery on the ground.]
At this moment, it needed a little guidance.
Shen Sui timed it right and immediately opened the input box.
[You appeared, silently standing behind Alice.]
[Alice remained silent for a long time.]
["What are you thinking about?" you asked.]
[Alice raised her head sadly: "Claude, where’s my pocket money?"]
Damn, I’ll kick you off this thing!
Shen Sui felt he completely couldn’t understand Alice’s thoughts.
["So, don’t you feel any guilt for getting so many people killed?"]
Shen Sui actually knew this sentence was extremely tactless, the kind that directly unveils scars. But he knew that some emotions are better exposed sooner rather than hidden, long pain is worse than short pain, otherwise Alice would eventually turn dark with too much guilt.
["Not guilty." Alice shook her head. She was just sorrowful about the transience of life, as if without Claude, she would have died worthlessly by now.]
[She truly did not feel guilty. Being able to rescue Hali and help Claude find Qishala meant that this was the right thing to do for her.]
This girl... is really resolute.
Shen Sui looked at this sentence, deep in thought.
Alice was neither a strong person nor a callous person, as could be seen from various details in her daily life.
But such a person could repeatedly make such earth-shattering decisions without any psychological burden, which had to have internal logic.
Alice was so resolute because she had always had a firm standard bottom line in her heart: to her, anything done to save and help friends and family was just and worthwhile.
Such people are very frightening because a slight mistake would lead them astray, and once she goes astray, she would become a resolute evil criminal.
Those real-world news about girls helping criminal boyfriends blindly and irrationally are everywhere.
Alice wasn’t romance-driven; her unfocused helping included a broader group—everyone she considered friends and family, she would give everything to assist.
If someone says Witch Hozerville induced the Error War in Paiyiga City just to save a dog, I’m afraid no one would believe it.
["Claude." Alice suddenly spoke to you, "Do you have a better cultivation method for Fire Magic?"]
Huh? Enlightened?
Shen Sui was surprised that Alice suddenly asked this.
[Alice looked at the small Qishala coiled around your neck and felt a sense of powerlessness.]
[She had a premonition that you would embark on a path to overturn the entire world. If she wanted to help you with this matter, her current strength was far from enough.]
[Alice decided to enhance her strength.]
[Of course, in between, she had another matter to attend to, she needed to go to Price City to find a way to borrow the Assos Holy Sword to sever the link between Anna and the Sinful Chalice.]
[Oshana introduced Alice to the conditions for using the Assos Holy Sword, as the heirloom sword of the Price family, the last use of the Assos Holy Sword was a thousand years ago.]
Yes.
Shen Sui ridiculed in his heart.
The last use of this holy sword was for the most loyal knight of Daylight in your stories, who used this holy sword to stab Daylight in the back.
[Only when the Price Clan faces extinction can this holy sword be used.]
[Oshana planned for Alice more than a dozen scenarios to create a similar crisis for the Price Clan.]
Damn! Price Clan’s betrayal tradition, right?!
Back then, Baris could stab the Gods she believed in for her friends.
Now Oshana is rebelling against the Price Clan for her friends, isn’t it reasonable too?
Of course, Oshana wasn’t rebellious to that extent, all her plans were superficial intimidation.
["No need for such trouble." Alice rejected all of Oshana’s plans.]
[She pointed to the other side of the map, "I want to go there first, perhaps there will be a different gain."]
[Alice remembered your method of summoning Qishala’s soul.]
[She planned to seek a new Divine Format for you.]
[And use the opportunity to artificially create a crisis.]
[The direction Alice pointed to was:]
[The Temple of War God Balgas.]
