Chapter 416
Chapter 416
Alice had just officially assumed office. The Dragon Knight Corps of the Dragon God Cult had become a thing of the past with the demise of the Dragon Valley, which also resulted in her not having much military power in her hands.
In fact, if it were normal, these Thunder Knights would not betray Alice. After all, Alice was formally recognized by the Lord of Thunder in the Pope's ceremony, and it was very recognized.
However, as expected, something unexpected happened.
Alice never expected that the current emperor of the Rollin Empire, who had always been firmly controlled by the Thunder Church, would reveal his ambition at this time - he wanted to become the first emperor in the history of the world to combine politics and religion.
So, in a place that Alice didn't know, a transaction of interests began.
Emperor Rollin used the simplest words to persuade the high-ranking knights of the Thunder Church in Rollin City to betray Alice.
The reason was very simple: Edom valued the Elm City faction more, and you would be replaced and be moved to a deserted parish to spend the rest of your life.
Then, Emperor Rollin promised great benefits.
In the eyes of those who hold power, faith is nothing in front of interests.
Soon, those knight leaders chose to betray Alice.
When Alice came out of the intelligence department and saw a group of Thunder Knights pointing their fangs at her, she was stunned.
But Alice is worthy of being Alice. She quickly judged the situation and did not accept the invitation of these knights to come for talks. She ran away decisively.
Then, the whole city of Luolin began to hunt down Alice in the name of arresting a fugitive with a heavy sentence.
In fact, Alice can solve this matter by calling the Lord of Thunder.
Although the gods will not intervene in the internal struggles of the church, Alice is not a true Thunder believer. The relationship between her and the Lord of Thunder is closer to a transaction.
In the same way, since it is a transaction, you must let the other party see your strength and role.
Alice had only fooled the Lord of Thunder for a short time. If she couldn't even solve this kind of problem, the Lord of Thunder would doubt whether Alice was really capable of usurping Vivian's dusk power.
In order to avoid the pursuers, Alice had to use her fire invisibility in the city of Rollin.
From the opening sentence [Alice set the city of Rollin on fire], it is not difficult to see that her fire invisibility can be said to be very effective.
Moreover, Alice was very vengeful and specifically set fire to the houses of those great nobles and priests, which directly caused chaos in the city of Rollin.
Alice took advantage of this chaos and entered Ekaterina's room.
[Alice saw Ekaterina taking a bath. 】
【"Alice?" Ekaterina looked at Alice in surprise, "Why are you here?"】
【Alice quickly and concisely explained the situation and asked, "The imperial army is arresting me. Do you know who did it?"】
【Ekaterina frowned and analyzed, "The only person who could mobilize the capital army of the Rolin Empire on such a large scale is my father."】
【Alice looked at Ekaterina and suddenly had an idea: "Then let's rebel against your father?"】
【Alice knew that Ekaterina had always had a lot of opinions about her father. Every time she discussed things with Ekaterina, she would express her dissatisfaction with her father. 】
【"Betrayal?" Ekaterina slowly stood up and looked at Alice, "My loyalty to my father does not allow me to do this."】
【Alice was a little disappointed. Could it be that her judgment was wrong? 】
【Ekaterina wrapped herself in a bath towel:】
【"But I think, as his daughter, I have an obligation to let him die decently."】
Chapter 475 Alice's equation is established!
Shen Sui did not expect that Ekaterina would turn to Alice so decisively, without even thinking about it for a long time.
In Shen Sui's impression, Ekaterina should be the most determined royalist. According to her position, she should stand firmly on the side of the Luolin Empire and her father, right?
Is Alice's charm so terrifying?
Wait...
Shen Sui frowned and looked at Ekaterina's conversation.
Because the situation was very urgent at the time, and she had too many vests, Alice did not find the flaws in Ekaterina's words for a while, but Shen Sui's memory was very clear.
Alice always contacted Ekaterina as Holzerville, and did not reveal her identity as Alice.
How did Ekaterina know that Alice was Holzewell's?
Did Ekaterina analyze this from various intelligence?
If this is true, Shen Sui will have to carefully evaluate Ekaterina's strength.
Alice's disguise may not be easily seen through, but if the other party has a strong intelligence system and unparalleled intelligence analysis capabilities, it is not difficult to analyze the relationship between Alice, Holzewell and Entoma from their intelligence.
But soon, Shen Sui knew from Ekaterina's voice why she knew Alice's identity.
[Ekaterina looked at the young and beautiful Alice. ]
[If it was before, she would never have believed that such a girl was such a powerful existence. ]
[She is Holzewell, the witch who inherited the name of Dusk. ]
[Also the Supreme Pope Edom of the Church of the Lord of Thunder. ]
[Also a witch of the dragon clan, a wizard of the dawn...]
[If her maid hadn't told her this, Ekaterina wouldn't have believed that these identities would appear on one person. ]
[Look at the scene her father and the knights of the Church of Thunder made to kill Alice. This is such a supreme treatment. This is the enemy's recognition of Alice's ability and status. ]
[Just don't know what role the fortune teller named Shen Sui plays next to Alice. ]
After seeing this paragraph, Shen Sui knew why Ekaterina knew Alice's identity.
The third princess of the empire became the soul card of a fortune teller in the real world not long ago.
She obtained a lot of information about Alice from the fortune teller.
Although people in the real world did not know that Alice disguised herself as Entoma and became the Pope of the Thunder Lord Church because Shen Sui had never used the relevant form in a duel, they knew the relationship between Alice and Horzewell. After all, Shen Sui switched between these two forms more than once in the duel.
And Ekaterina knew that Entoma was Horzewell.
So the equation of Entoma = Horzewell = Alice was established in Ekaterina's mind.
I never thought that Alice's exposure this time was because of the real world.
But it's normal to think about it. With the invasion of the extraordinary, the number of new life card masters in the real world has increased sharply. It is normal for someone in the soul card world to become a soul card follower.
If this happened in other places with few people, Shen Sui might be able to avoid it through the soul card approach reminder of the duel instrument, but it happened in Luolin City.
As soon as Alice entered the city of Rollin, she had not heard the soul card approach alarm, which means that there are a large number of soul cards of fortune tellers in Rollin City.
When there is only one warning, you must pay attention to it.
But when the warning becomes a common prompt, you can't find the target even if you want to react.
Judging from Ekaterina's subsequent voice, her change of mentality also occurred after her fortune teller appeared.
It is estimated that this fortune teller told Ekaterina many stories about the struggle for the throne in history, so that Ekaterina, who was already in a half-rotten state, re-emerged with the ambition to ascend the throne and become the emperor of the Rollin Empire.
Although Ekaterina had some prestige among the nobles before, she was actually alienated because of her father's disagreement with the idea of fully surrendering to the church.
However, the fortune teller's advice made Ekaterina realize her own advantages.
At least in the Luolin Empire, although the nobles and priests are both the ruling class, their interests are actually in conflict. The interests of the whole world are so small. When no one can make a bigger cake, killing the other party is definitely the primary means to make oneself bigger and stronger.
The main generals of the imperial army are basically controlled by the great nobles.
Although they are now under the command of the emperor of the empire, they do not actually want the Church of the Lord of Thunder to continue to grow and become stronger within the Luolin Empire.
Ekaterina can fully use this opportunity to fulfill her ambitions.
As for the so-called father-daughter relationship, for the royal family, although it can exist, it is not a necessity.
[Ekaterina agreed to help Alice. ]
[But the premise for her to provide help is that the old emperor needs to lose the ability to give orders. ]
[Ekaterina wants to give this task to Alice. ]
When Shen Sui saw this sentence, he could already imagine the subsequent plot.
Oh my God!
Why are you so confident to give this kind of thing to Alice?
Is it because you heard from your fortune teller that Alice has so many titles?
【“Can you use any method?” Alice confirmed with a blink of her eyes. 】
Shen Sui’s bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
【“Of course.” Ekaterina said, “Any method is fine. I will use my connections to persuade the noble officers to stop the current actions as much as possible, but this suspension of action is only temporary. If my father continues to issue orders, they will most likely continue to obey.”】
【While talking, Ekaterina had already put on her clothes, and her intelligence personnel reported the current situation in Luolin City to Ekaterina. 】
And her own intelligence system?
Then even if the fortune teller did not re-stimulate Ekaterina’s ambition, the third princess would sooner or later rebel against her father gorgeously. She has the ability to build an intelligence system. After knowing the dirty things of various forces, she will inevitably have ambitions.
After all, this world is often a makeshift team, and it has always been run perfunctorily.
[“No problem.” Alice patted her chest and promised. ]
Shen Sui didn’t know who gave Alice the courage to make such a promise.
The Imperial Legion and the Thunder Knights were chasing her all over the city. At this time, Alice still had the time to go to the palace of the Luolin Empire to cause trouble for the emperor of the empire?
You know what.
Alice is really capable.
[Alice took out a few treasure cards from the magic book. ]
["Giants, I'm counting on you this time." Alice said to the treasure card. ]
[With the flash of summons, several huge summoning magic circles appeared in the sky above the Rollin Empire. ]
[The next moment, the figures of several giants appeared in the eyes of the residents of Rollin. ]
[Boom! ]
[The giants fell to the ground and crushed the surrounding houses. ]
[I don't know if Alice did it on purpose, or if those nobles and priests were just so unlucky. The giants were dropped in the most noble residential area. ]
[Alice quickly conveyed her instructions to the leaders, Lori and Lebit. ]
["Ha! I didn't expect that after so many years, I would have the honor to revisit the old place!" Lebit bumped his fists, his eyes flashing with excitement. ]
[The last time he came to Rollin City, he was the vanguard of Vivian's legion and forcibly demolished the city wall of Rollin City. ]
[The appearance of the giants caused the entire Rollin City to fall into panic. 】
【The sudden and powerful foreign enemy forced the Imperial Legion and the Thunder Knights to give up the pursuit of Alice and turn their guns to deal with these giants. 】
【Ekaterina looked at the giants who suddenly appeared in the city of Rolin, and she couldn't help but underestimate them:】
【Can't you solve it yourself? Why did you come to me with a desperate look? 】
【But, it's really powerful! Alice! 】
【Ekaterina looked at the giants fighting, with a strange light flashing in her eyes. 】
【If Alice became her right-hand man...】
Don't, don't let Alice participate in such national affairs.
Shen Sui complained in his heart.
【"Hehe, then I'll go." Alice blinked at Ekaterina. 】
【"Wait." Ekaterina suddenly stopped Alice. 】
【"What?" Alice looked at the three princesses behind her and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to spare your father's life?"】
【Ekaterina shook her head slightly and said, "Remember to finish him off and confirm his true identity. It's best to burn him to ashes and don't let him have a chance to revive."】
【"..." Alice was silent for a long time after listening, "How much do you hate your father."】
【"This is the first lesson my father taught me." Ekaterina raised her head and looked at Alice very seriously, "Some things, once started, must be eradicated to prevent future troubles."】
【Alice scratched her head, completely unable to understand Ekaterina's mentality: "Your royal family is really complicated."】
