Chapter 66: Alice Wants to Get Stronger (Please keep reading!)

“Damn it! What are you doing?!” Zero-One expressed his considerable displeasure at Alice’s forceful mounting. “I am the great Primordial Dragon.”

“Shut up! I can’t ride the Star Abyss White Dragon, but I can’t ride you?!” Alice clung tightly to Zero-One’s neck.

“Damn it! Why did this horse get up here too?! Isn’t it also a mount?!” Zero-One saw Alice’s pony also run onto her back, becoming even more furious.

“It’s my family!” Alice declared righteously.

“Family? What’s its name?” Zero-One asked suspiciously.

“Sigh,” Alice blinked. She was, in fact, terrible at naming things.

Indeed, Shen Sui on the other side of the screen strongly agreed with this assessment. To this day, he still didn’t know what basis Alice used to name her puppets.

Natasha, Aida, and the like could certainly be names, but there should be some basis, right?

Alice thought for a while, then said to Zero-One: “Its name is Golden Ship.”

Shen Sui stumbled, almost falling off the boat.

Goddamn Golden Ship!

*You questioned Alice’s naming sense.*

Alice said firmly, “There’s nothing wrong with it! My pony is very good at fishing, and the vehicle for fishing is generally a boat, so calling her Ship isn’t unreasonable, is it?”

“Then what does the ‘Golden’ have to do with it?”

“Because I’m broke.” Alice held out her hand to you. “And, where’s my allowance?”

*You refused to pay Alice’s allowance and offered your own吐槽 (tǔ cáo – sarcastic commentary):* “Golden Ship, I’m the Emperor of the East China Sea. The sea and fish are related, and the Emperor clarifies his future ambitions.”

Alice’s eyes lit up: “Makes sense!”

Zero-One carried everyone, soaring over Lake Paynga City. After finding Qishala and Harley, Alice and your goals were achieved.

At this time, the war outside Lake Paynga City was coming to an end. Both sides engaged in a bloody head-on confrontation on this plain. Even if those at the front discovered it was a misunderstanding, no one dared to retreat a single step. The comrades surging from behind would crush them. Only by advancing was there a chance of survival.

Blood stained the earth, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

The ground was littered with the bodies of the Thunderbolt believers.

The main force of the Thunderbolt Lord Church had finally annihilated the Rowling Allied Forces.

However, when they advanced into Lake Paynga City, the Star Abyss White Dragon was already gone.

Thunder surged in the air. The deity, having regained its perception of its believers, seemed enraged.

Alice sat on Zero-One, looking down at the scene below.

At times like these, guidance was needed.

Shen Sui seized the moment 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 sadly raised her head: “Claude, where’s my allowance?”

I’ll kick you off this thing right now!

Shen Sui felt completely unable to understand Alice’s thinking.

“So, you killed so many people, and you don’t feel a bit guilty?”

Shen Sui knew this sentence was extremely tactless, like ripping off a scab. But he knew that some emotions were better exposed sooner rather than later; a short pain is better than a long one. Otherwise, with so much guilt accumulating, Alice would eventually go dark.

“Not guilty.” Alice shook her head. She only grieved over the fleeting nature of life, as if without Claude, she would have died a worthless death.

She truly felt no guilt. Saving Harley and helping Claude find Qishala, to her, that was the right thing to do.

This girl… is really unwavering.

Shen Sui pondered this statement.

Alice wasn’t a strong person, nor was she heartless, as could be seen from various details in her daily life.

But someone like her could repeatedly do such earth-shattering things without any psychological burden. There must be an inner logic to this.

Alice’s unwavering determination stemmed from a steadfast moral compass: for her, everything done to save or help her friends and family was just and worthwhile.

Such people are extremely dangerous. One slip-up, and they could stray from the path of righteousness. Once they do, they would become a determined, evil criminal.

The news was full of stories of girls so blinded by love that they blindly helped their criminal boyfriends.

Alice wasn’t blinded by love; the scope of those she blindly helped was far broader—all those she considered friends and family, she would sacrifice everything to help.

If someone said that the Hypnotic Witch Hozerville instigated the erroneous war in Lake Paynga City merely to save a dog, no one would believe it.

*“Claude,” Alice suddenly said, “Do you have any better fire magic cultivation methods?”*

Huh? She’s opened up?

Shen Sui was surprised by Alice’s sudden question.

*Alice looked at the little Qishala coiled around your neck and felt a sense of powerlessness.*

*She had a premonition that you would walk a path that would overturn the entire world. If she wanted to help you in this, her current strength was far from enough.*

*Alice decided to increase her strength.*

*Of course, before that, she had another matter to attend to. She was going to Ples City to find a way to borrow the Asos Holy Sword; she needed to sever the connection between Anna and the Sinful Holy Grail.*

*Osana introduced to Alice the conditions for activating the Asos Holy Sword. As the Ples family’s heirloom, the last time the Asos Holy Sword was used was a thousand years ago.*

Yes.

Shen Sui inwardly scoffed.

The last time this holy sword was used was by the “most loyal knight of the Day,” the one who stabbed Day in the back.

*Only when the Ples family faced a catastrophic annihilation could this holy sword be activated.*

*Osana planned over a dozen schemes to plunge the Ples family into a similar crisis.*

Damn! Is this some kind of Ples family tradition of being a double-agent?!

Back then, Baris, for the sake of a friend, could stab the god she worshipped.

Now, Osana, for the sake of her friend, rebels against the Ples family, which also makes sense, right?

Of course, Osana wasn’t so rebellious as to betray them in this way. All her plans were superficial intimidation.

*“No need for so much trouble,” Alice rejected all of Osana’s plans.*

*She pointed to another side of the map, “I want to go there and see first, perhaps there will be different gains.”*

*Alice remembered the method you mentioned for summoning Qishala’s soul.*

*She planned to find a new divine power for you.*

*And take this opportunity to artificially create a dangerous situation.*

*The direction Alice pointed towards was:*

*War God Baragas’s temple.*
