Shen Sui had to admit, he had underestimated Alice's ability to deceive and manipulate people.
That group of nobles was truly being led around by the nose by Alice.
He had originally thought that even if the nobles were foolish, the priest Tim shouldn't be that stupid; after all, he was someone capable of being a church deacon in a city.
Therefore, for the next few days, apart from necessary outings, Shen Sui stayed in his dormitory, keeping an eye on Alice's actions, afraid that Tim might discover Alice's deception and harm her. Shen Sui wasn't worried about Alice's life safety, as she had his magic, but Anna, who was by Alice's side, didn't know Alice had a life-saving ability. If Tim really attacked Alice, to protect Alice, this seemingly weak girl would absolutely not consider the danger of being potentially devoured by the Sin Grail; she would definitely act.
Once Anna acted, the Sin Grail's corruption would irreversibly affect her.
This would become something Alice would regret for the rest of her life and would affect her mental health.
Given how much Alice valued her friends, something like a friend sacrificing themselves to protect her would definitely plunge her into permanent self-doubt and self-harm.
The mental health of a Soul Card also needed to be taken care of.
It was just a pity that Anna was the vessel of the Sin Grail and unaffected by other spells, otherwise Shen Sui would have just cast magic on Anna and been done with it.
Speaking of which, how did he deal with the Sin Grail in the game?
Oh... put on a magic immunity buff, then walk up to the Sin Grail and use Strong Hand Skull Crush on it, conquering the Sin Grail through physical means.
However, the subsequent developments completely exceeded Shen Sui's expectations.
Alice accepted the nobles' army, and she did so very smoothly. During this process, neither the nobles' leader nor Tim Kadan expressed any objections.
Because, while carrying out these actions, Anna always followed behind Alice.
Although Alice was indeed a Tier 3 Mage, Anna was Tier 13! Regardless of whether she could act, the fact that she was Tier 13 was undeniable!
Whether in Tim's eyes or in the eyes of the strong guards of the nobles, it was an undeniable fact that a Tier 13 expert stood behind Alice.
Combined with Alice's words and actions, wasn't her identity as an Evil God follower perfectly clear? And weren't those three dolls on her body the divine artifacts bestowed upon her when the Evil God descended?
As for why the residents of Anlud City were not sacrificed, those who witnessed the god's descent that night only thought that the description of the ritual Tim saw was incorrect, and that Sok Fatis's descent did not require any sacrifices.
Thus, Alice smoothly acquired an army of nearly eight hundred people. For a small city like Anlud, an army of eight hundred was sufficient. These were all private soldiers of the nobles, each possessing extraordinary power, the weakest being Tier 1 Knights.
Of course, if Alice hadn't stolen that Thunder Knight unit when she arrived, her army would have been even larger.
For Alice, who had controlled thugs in over half a city, controlling such an army seemed to have no psychological burden.
She had also never considered this army to be her own force.
Alice's thoughts are very clear. She wants to use these noble armies to attack the Luo Lin army and Thunder Knights who are going to suppress Pa Yin Jia City. Regardless of who the Alice who appeared in Pa Yin Jia City is, she has helped her greatly and even eliminated a potential Tier 6 enemy for her. Both emotionally and logically, Alice must go and help out. What's more, Harley might also be in Pa Yin Jia City, otherwise that person wouldn't know about the feud between Alice and the Zelei family. Alice rode her little mare, her gaze directed towards Pa Yin Jia City. Behind her were the nobles who followed her, and beside her were Tim Kadan and Anna. She was planning a battle in her heart, a reasonable battle. She wants to use the noble army behind her to resolve the predicament in Pa Yin Jia City. She wants to use the armies of Luo Lin and the Lord of Thunder to destroy the nobles of Anlud City and kill Tim Kadan. Nobles who betray the people of their territory must be punished. Priests who abandon their believers are destined to be abandoned by others.
What kind of oath are you making, Alice?
Look at your strength! You're only Tier 3! Can you not do such big things right away? Can we just cultivate properly first?
Looking at the duration of the Time Regulator he had left to give Alice accelerated cultivation, Shen Sui was on the verge of tears. This Alice, causing trouble one wave after another, simply didn't give him time for accelerated cultivation. But now, the atmosphere had been built up to this point. If Shen Sui suddenly came out and interrupted, that would truly break Alice's growth rhythm.
Forget it, forget it, I'll just watch.
Shen Sui somewhat regretted letting Alice come and participate in the Evil God descent ritual just to get a few Follower Cards.
Alice raised the whip in her hand and pointed towards Pa Yin Jia City. The first battle of the Sork Church will also be the battle of its demise. Depart! Target, Pa Yin Jia City.
Hmm... did I forget something?
Holy crap! You didn't get the treasure chest!
Shen Sui immediately typed a message to remind Alice of this.
Alice received your reminder, and she almost fell off her horse. Tim beside her asked, "What's wrong, Alice?" Alice sat up straight and said in a very calm tone, "I just received a revelation from Lord Sork. He is very satisfied with our loyalty. To reward our bravery and faith, He has guided us to a treasure, which is the Twilight Bishop's treasure chest."
???
Alice, what are you trying to do?
Alice led Tim and some important nobles to the sewage pipes of Anlud. Here, they indeed saw a wooden storage box. Tim examined it and confirmed that it could not be opened by any means, then stated with certainty, "This is indeed the Twilight Bishop's treasure chest. I was fortunate enough to see one in Luo Lin's imperial capital. After the Twilight Bishop disappeared back then, he left several treasure chests on the continent, containing his inheritance and treasures. However, even gods could not open or move these treasure chests, so over time, these treasure chests became ancient relics. I didn't expect there to be one in Anlud City."
[Tim expressed doubt about whether Alice could open the treasure chest. This wasn't the first time a Twilight Bishop's treasure chest had appeared, yet even if a true god descended, they couldn't open it. What was the use of finding it?]
[The great Sok Fatis surpasses all gods in the world.]
[Let alone a mere Twilight Bishop's treasure chest, even if the Twilight Bishop appeared before our Lord, they would prostrate themselves before our Lord.]
[Alice spoke nonsense with her eyes wide open, then opened the treasure chest in front of her.]
[This is the power of our Lord!]
[Alice's words and actions shocked the people around her.]
[The Twilight Treasure Chest, which even the strongest gods were helpless against, was opened casually in Alice's hands as if it were an ordinary box at home.]
[This is the miracle of Sok Fatis!]
[At this moment, everyone had only one thought: They followed the right person this time!]
[Their trust in Alice reached its peak. All of Alice's actions would be justified and correct.]
[Ding! You obtained the Spell Card: Displaying Holiness]
Damn! I gave you a big gift package, and you're using it to Display Holiness, huh?
Shen Sui almost fell off the bed.
[Alice put the skill book from the treasure chest into her pocket. She distributed all the magic crystals to everyone.]
[She rewarded the remaining half-chest of minerals and gems to the noble knights.]
[The knights received their rewards, and their morale became even higher. They swore to fight for the great Sok Fatis, without regret until death.]
[Ding! You obtained the Spell Card: Winning Hearts]
[Alice's Little Mare was attacked by a strange fish in the water while drinking outside Anlud City. Anna took action in time.]
[Ding! You obtained the Follower Card: Mutated Fish King Anlud Lun]
Where did this Mutated Fish King come from? I fished all night when I played the game! How did she catch it just by drinking water?
Looking at the string of Soul Card acquisition messages on the page, Shen Sui felt a bit numb.
He suddenly had a feeling that he was less experienced than Alice in handling such major events. Looking at Alice's actions, he even had the illusion that he was starting to grow a brain.
My goodness, am I even inferior to the "daughter" I raised?
