Chapter 212

Unaware that several more people had appeared out of thin air in the church after she left, Cornelia was still looking at Alice with a loving gaze.

Of course, the word “loving” seemed rather odd when applied to Cornelia, as she appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

After exchanging some affectionate words with Cornelia, Alice inquired about the situation inside the church, “Godmother, did something happen inside the church? Why were you in such a hurry to take me away?”

Upon hearing this, Cornelia couldn’s help but frown, her originally upturned lips turning downward. “There’s a powerful individual inside.”

Having left that detestable environment, Cornelia’s mind became sharper. Recalling the slightly abnormal airflow she had sensed earlier, she belatedly realized that the church hadn’t contained only that one person hidden in the depths of darkness.

There were others hidden in the shadows, using the church’s repugnant odor to mask their presence, preventing Cornelia from noticing them.

Of course, Cornelia knew that this explanation was a bit far-fetched. After all, she had determined that there were others based on the sound of breathing. If there were other people present, there should have been more than one sound of breathing.

Unless all the others present weren’t human and didn’t need to breathe.

But that thought was too frightening, so Cornelia preferred to believe that they had used some secret method or tool to conceal themselves and avoid detection.

Alice felt a bit worried when she heard Cornelia admit that there were formidable people inside the church.

“I wonder when Teacher and the others will arrive. We might have stirred up trouble tonight, and I’m afraid they’ll evacuate as soon as possible.”

Her teacher had instructed her to scout ahead, trying to keep the people there if possible. If she couldn’t, it didn’t matter, as long as she knew their final destination.

Alice, being the ambitious person she was, naturally wanted to do a good job. With the powerful Cornelia by her side, she dared to investigate the church at night.

Unfortunately, they were discovered before they could find any clues.

If Godmother said that the person was formidable, their strength must be comparable to hers, which meant they needed to be cautious.

Alice thought, “Then we need to hurry back and tell Teacher. Then we need to review the events of tonight. If those people’s base is really in the church, they won’t be able to evacuate in just one night. As long as Teacher and the others arrive early tomorrow, they should be able to catch up with those guys.”

Cornelia heard Alice mention “Teacher” again and felt her fists clench.

However, Yan Yunqing, who was currently rushing to their location, had no idea that Cornelia, whom he had met a few times, was thinking about him.

Nor did he know that Cornelia had already convicted him in her heart—for deliberately putting his student in a dangerous situation.

If he knew anything, he would be shouting injustice!

However, he was still hurrying, and to increase his speed, Yan Yunqing was riding in a Diweike-brand Dragon Dragon Flying Car. Merlin was sitting in an Isabel-brand Dragon Dragon Flying Car. As for Perros?

That wolf cub, who didn’t have wings and wasn’t liked by the Dragon Dragons, naturally only had the right to run along the ground—a bit exaggerated, because with Yan Yunqing’s mediation, Perros was eventually grabbed by the Diweike Dragon Dragon Flying Car’s claws and brought along.

With the Giant Dragon Clan as transportation, Yan Yunqing quickly returned to Kastella City. After retrieving the alchemy puppets, he rushed to rendezvous with Alice.

Upon arriving at the agreed location, Alice was already waiting. Today, Yan Yunqing wasn’t using the eye-catching [Nolan] identity, but rather playing the role of the little black cat from the beginning.

Alice had seen Yan Yunqing’s little black cat appearance before. To be honest, she adored these fluffy creatures and had almost “rebelliously” hugged her teacher and stroked him a few times. Seeing the little black cat version of her teacher this time, she almost couldn’t resist the urge to hug him.

However, she immediately calmed down after seeing the others who were following behind. Alice had met Merlin and Isabel, but she only knew that these two were Teacher’s friends and came from the Giant Dragon Clan. She didn’t know their specific identities.

Although Alice was very curious as to why the Giant Dragon Clan could produce a mage who looked like he couldn’t fight, she always followed her agreement with her teacher and didn’t ask questions she shouldn’t ask.

As for Diweike and Perros, who came in later, they were outside Alice’s knowledge. She had never met these two before.

But she thought they should be Teacher’s partners as well.

“Teacher,” Alice called out when she saw Yan Yunqing, receiving a high-cold nod from the little black cat.

Ah, how cute.

Alice exclaimed in her heart, sure enough, Teacher is the cutest cat in the world.

“I received your message. Tell me about the specific situation,” Yan Yunqing had already received Alice’s reply before coming to find her, knowing the results of her night exploration of the church. He wasn’t surprised by their failure at all.

After all, the Eternal God Sect was extremely cunning, and Alice’s skills were no match for these guys. To deal with those rats in the gutter, in addition to people like Yan Yunqing and Merlin who had eight hundred tricks up their sleeves, they had to be like Isabel, who directly used her fists to reason.

Otherwise, they couldn’t win, simply couldn’t win.

Alice knew that this matter was very important, so she told Yan Yunqing in detail about what had happened last night, including Cornelia’s guess after she left that there were actually others with hidden secret techniques in the church.

After listening to everything, Yan Yunqing frowned, tilted his head, and thought for a long time. “This is indeed a bit tricky. From what you’ve said, the Eternal God Sect should indeed have a base here, but I don’t think it would be in the church.”

Alice was stunned. “But what Godmother sensed at the beginning was that there was indeed an underground space under the church. Isn’t that the Eternal God Sect’s underground altar?”

Alice knew that the people of “Flame” were sweeping the Eternal God Sect’s bases everywhere, and she also knew about the underground altar, but she had never seen any underground altar. Her identity was still too sensitive, and Yan Yunqing couldn’t let the people of the Eternal God Sect discover that the Eleventh Princess of Bato Vita was also one of them.

Otherwise, if Alice wanted to compete for that position in the future, there would be one more obstacle from the Eternal God Sect, which Yan Yunqing didn’t want to see.

So Alice had never participated and didn’t know how big the Eternal God Sect’s underground altar was or what it was generally used for. The godmother Alice spoke of obviously wasn’t someone who could know about this, so it was normal to misunderstand that the church was the altar.

“Although we all speculate that the Eternal God Sect and the Light Church have similar purposes, the two sides currently show no signs of cooperation,” Merlin explained for Yan Yunqing. “And the Eternal God Sect’s underground altars are usually engraved with some formations, and the effects of some formations conflict with the church.”

“No matter what the Light Church is planning behind the scenes, or what dirty things they are doing, they can never tamper with the church, at least on the surface they have to put on a show. Since you said that the regulations of the Kastella City church are no different from other churches, then there must be many objects with the Light Goddess’s beliefs in the church.”

“Although the Light Goddess may not exist, those things are after all contaminated with faith and have their own light elements. The Eternal God Sect’s underground altar can’t withstand being ‘eroded’ by the light elements for a long time.”

In other words, if the Eternal God Sect built the underground altar under the Light Church’s church, it would be tantamount to seeking its own demise.

Even if Kastella City was poor, that church was a genuine church!

Alice was stunned. “Then what’s in the church…”

“It should be some kind of basement, right?” Isabel crossed her arms. “It may also be the place where the bishop hides something. These rats like to dig holes and do bad things secretly.”

“As for why the Eternal God Sect appeared there, it should be because the bishop and the Eternal God Sect’s rats cooperated in some way. They should have been discussing something last night when you happened to bump into them.”

Yan Yunqing thought for a moment. “Of course, it can’t be ruled out that the bishop was sent by the Eternal God Sect into the Light Church… In short, since you could meet the Eternal God Sect people last night, even if their base is not in the church, it’s probably not far away.”

“The church, did you have someone watching it?”

Alice came back to her senses and nodded quickly. “My godmother is watching it. She’s very powerful.”

Yan Yunqing hesitated. He personally didn’t want others to interfere with “Flame”‘s affairs. After all, it involved the Eternal God Sect, and who knew if Alice’s godmother was reliable or not. Moreover, the Eternal God Sect was very dangerous, and if it involved the other party…

He originally didn’t want to involve Alice too much, but now there was indeed no better way.

On the other hand, Merlin looked at Alice’s hair and seemed to notice something. He thoughtfully stroked his beard.

This magic trajectory, why does it feel a bit familiar?

Yan Yunqing thought for a moment. “Since we’re already here, take us there now. The Eternal God Sect people are still too dangerous. What if your godmother can’t handle it?”

After all, weren’t they discovered last night?

Alice didn’t have much opinion on this, nodded, and readily got up to lead them.

Going to a relatively deserted church area with so many people would definitely cause some unnecessary trouble, but among them was Merlin, known as the greatest mage in history. With his concealment magic, they would be ignored even if they strutted past NPCs.

Of course, this effect wouldn’t affect players, so they should still conceal themselves and not really strut towards the church.

After walking a short distance to the east of the city, near the church, Alice stopped. She took out a thumb-sized conch from her arms and blew it by her mouth.

No sound was made, not even a bit of airflow.

Yan Yunqing curiously looked at the conch. He knew that Alice would definitely contact her godmother here first, but he didn’t know why she used such a prop to contact her.

He unobtrusively threw a detection on the conch, and the feedback given by the system was simply [conch that can emit special audio], and the specific introduction was also very simple.

Yan Yunqing could only conclude that this conch was just a conch that could emit special frequencies, just like its name.

However, if this type of conch was used to transmit messages, what kind of person was that godmother? Could she hear the sound of this special frequency?

On the other hand, when Merlin’s eyes touched the conch, he showed an “as expected” expression, and then his face became strange as if he remembered something.

This relationship is really complicated…

Yan Yunqing didn’t know what Merlin was thinking. As a little black cat, he squatted on Diweike’s shoulder, waiting for Alice’s godmother to arrive.

On the other hand, Perros kept looking at Diweike and the little black cat on his shoulder with small eyes, seemingly wanting to snatch the little black cat directly.

After about a few minutes, a light, almost inaudible footstep sounded.

Alice’s godmother had arrived.

Yan Yunqing squatted on Diweike’s shoulder and looked in the direction of the footsteps. What entered his eyes was someone wearing a dark cloak, with the hood firmly covering their face. The wide cloak blurred the person’s figure, leaving only a rough outline.
