Alice is Very Resourceful

[Hearing about Claude's deeds, Alice expressed shock.]

Shen Sui covered his face speechlessly.

Well, it seems trust needs to be rebuilt.

[But Alice did not believe these rumors.]

[Alice thought Claude was a good person.]

[The person who saved Alice cannot be a bad person!]

Alice! You really are my sweet little darling!

Shen Sui was a little moved. It seemed his protection of her these past few days hadn't been in vain.

[Alice asked you about these deeds.]

[Alice decided to go on a Holy Land Pilgrimage.]

Al! Ice! You! Give me back my trust!

What the hell is a Holy Land Pilgrimage!

Shen Sui picked up the Duel Device and unleashed a barrage of attacks.

[You expressed your anger to Alice and stated that all of this was the enemy's slander.]

[Alice was a little disappointed.]

What are you disappointed about? Shen Sui seemed to have become desensitized, accustomed to Alice's erratic behavior and logic.

However, Shen Sui looked at Oshana's surname. Price... I remember one of my teammates was named Price.

Baris Price, the Lady of Daybreak's Paladin, the strongest Light Paladin on the Dawn Continent, a pure and proud Saintess.

She was actually one of the game's romanceable characters, but in this playthrough, as Claude, Shen Sui was wholeheartedly focused on conquering the last piece of the puzzle in the illustration book, Vivian, and hadn't pursued this character. He had only used his experience from the first playthrough to recruit this Paladin as his teammate.

In the storyline where the Lady of Daybreak was killed, it was Baris's backstab that delivered the fatal blow to Daybreak.

[You told Alice about the deeds of Baris Price.]

[Alice met with Oshana again.]

[Oshana expressed her admiration for her ancestor Baris and stated that Baris was the Lady of Daybreak's most loyal knight, hoping Alice would not insult her ancestor.]

[Alice was slightly confused. She performed Barbecue Art to apologize to Oshana.]

[Oshana forgave Alice, and her favorability towards Alice increased.]

[Alice and Oshana became close friends.]

[Ding! You obtained Spell Card: Barbecue Art]

[Alice inquired about the villain and Fern Ze Lai.]

[Oshana generously explained: The villain wants to participate in the Sinful Festival, which will be held in a month and a half.]

[Oshana expressed confusion: Fern Ze Lai is already dead. His grandfather, the sixth-tier mage Rhine Ze Lai, seems to be investigating the murderer.]

[Alice used Barbecue Art.]

[Oshana no longer had any questions.]

???

Is there really such a thing as [Barbecue Art]?

Shen Sui was full of question marks.

With a hint of curiosity, Shen Sui took out [Barbecue Art].

Alice, as a mage, your magic is weak, but how do you always manage to pull out such strange yet incredibly useful cards?

Shen Sui was somewhat impressed by Alice's constitution. A 2-star beginner mage could actually pull out a 10-star spell card. No wonder the duel exam guides often said to guide Soul Cards to cause trouble; only by causing trouble could you obtain spell cards that exceeded the Soul Card's own strength.

This card was not weak; it even made Shen Sui ecstatic. There was no need to modify it; this card could be used directly.

Praise Alice!

Besides messing with my mood, you're quite useful.

After Alice finished raising Oshana's favorability, she finally remembered that she seemed to have something else to do. When the morning sun rose, Alice bid farewell to Oshana. Oshana Price temporarily left, but Shen Sui's questions about Price did not fade. Regardless of the playthrough, the scene of Baris backstabbing Daybreak was a key plot point in the main story, but why did Oshana say that Baris was the Lady of Daybreak's most loyal knight?

This matter back then must have been a huge event that shook the continent, right? The storylines Shen Sui played were never hidden; they were all earth-shattering.

What exactly happened in these thousand years? Why do people now have such a wrong understanding of history?

I, Twilight Bishop Claude Moderna, am absolutely not a debauched pervert!

[Alice bid farewell to Oshana. Alice called out to Harley, who was hiding.]

Harley?

Oh, that Silver Moon Wolf King.

Only then did Shen Sui remember that he had been so focused on being angry about being slandered that he forgot Alice seemed to have acquired a seemingly decent follower.

The Silver Moon Wolf King, a 5-star magic beast in the game, wasn't particularly strong, but this wolf king named Harley seemed a bit off.

Shen Sui stroked his chin and observed for a long time, finally realizing what was wrong!

Why did this wolf king look so much like a husky?

[Harley greeted Alice. Harley greeted you.]

Hmm? It can see me? That's a bit unusual.

Silver Moon Wolves are naturally submissive to the strong. It's a pity that Alice's follower's follower wasn't Shen Sui's follower, otherwise, just having Silver Moon Wolves as follower cards would be enough for Shen Sui to fill a whole deck.

[Alice looked at Harley, and an idea came to her.]

[Alice gave all of Fern Ze Lai's relics to Harley, telling it to move quickly in the opposite direction, remembering to avoid humans.]

[Alice requested you teach Harley spells.]

Shen Sui naturally saw Alice's intention to divert Rhine Ze Lai. She was forced to counterattack in Pa Yin Jia City back then, so many things weren't kept secret. It wasn't difficult for a sixth-tier mage to investigate her.

Alice's most important task now was to go to the City of Sin to rescue Anna. She didn't have time to get entangled with Rhine, whom she had never met, so she planned to have Harley lead Rhine away.

But she didn't want the magic beast she had subdued to die, so she asked me to teach it spells?

Shen Sui clicked on the character inventory. A level 5 wolf king, although still very weak, was at least at a level where it could wear some equipment. He still had some low-level equipment dropped from killing monsters.

Who would have thought that a Twilight Bishop's ordinary daily grinding would lead to a file deletion?

However, he couldn't just give it away so easily. If he did, Alice would gradually become spoiled and lazy.

She didn't even know how much of a cheat she had by her side and was already courting death like this. Once she knew his true strength, she would probably run to various temples to check in and mock them.

Don't think Shen Sui was invincible just because he had Resurrection. There were anti-magic fields on the Dawn Continent. When Shen Sui fought the War God back then, he was in an anti-magic field and killed the War God with punch after punch.

Shen Sui thought for a moment and typed on the duel device.

[You refused Alice but said you could give Harley a piece of life-saving equipment.]

[Alice felt joy.]

[You made a request. You asked Alice to seek the truth of history.]

Shen Sui's character on the Dawn Continent was already max level. He had no pursuit of strength. The only thing he was probably curious about was history.

[Alice agreed to the trade.]

[You gifted Harley a fifth-tier equipment: Gale Cloak.]

[Ding! You obtained equipment spell card: Gale Cloak]
