Some time ago, Johnson had complained to Alice when she went to him to mobilize the airship to rescue people.
He said Ophelia wanted control, but he didn't give it to her.
And then he died, is that such a coincidence?
"...The White Tower just held a quick meeting. Xing Sui has temporarily taken over control of the steam airship. The church voted in favor," Golden Sparrow said on Alice's shoulder. "Alice..."
"Let's go find Ophelia." Alice stood up.
When she turned around, she saw Ophelia standing behind her.
"My condolences, Miss Alice."
Ophelia walked out from under the umbrella held by the pastor, took off her hat and placed it on Congressman Johnson's chest.
She stood up, turned her head and looked directly at Alice, saying:
"I didn't kill him."
"You've gained control of the airship," Alice said, looking closely into Ophelia's eyes. "So what's next? Are you going to gain control of Parliament?"
"If necessary..." Ophelia stared at Alice fearlessly, "I will..."
"Om——"
There was a flash of fire, and Xing Suijun raised the wand in his hand and aimed at Alice.
Because Alice's wand was against Ophelia's throat.
"You've crossed the line," Alice said coldly. "Power struggle... I don't care about you, but you actually killed people to seize power?"
"I didn't kill Johnson," Ophelia raised her hands, but there was no fear on her face. "You are a peeping witch. Can't you see history? If I did, you can use the evidence to bring me to court."
There is no evidence of crime, but there is an alibi.
Johnson's death really seemed to be an accident.
""
Alice lowered her wand, but the fire still swirled in her eyes.
"Do you hope a cold wave will come?" Alice's voice was cold.
"I hope not," replied Ophelia.
She took out a small bottle from her waist, which contained crystal clear blood.
"The head of Section 3 asked me for blood, saying that your research needs
"Here," Ophelia handed the bottle to Alice. "If you need anything else, let me know."
Alice was slightly stunned when she saw the blood bottle handed to her.
She took the blood bottle and frowned slightly.
"you..."
"I suggest you, if you can't find the answer to your question, don't go looking for that old Imperial," Ophelia sighed softly. "Go find the Angel of Wisdom. She's already finished with the Moon Altar and will be here at the Citadel soon."
"If you need, I can make an appointment with her for you."
After saying that, Ophelia turned and left, leaving Alice with her back.
She spoke in a calm tone, but the Star Guards waited until Ophelia got into the carriage before finally lowering their wands towards Alice.
"Excuse me, Bishop," a soldier said, "but we must ensure that you do not lose control."
After saying that, they pushed aside the blockade and retreated to a distance in an orderly manner.
""
Watching their receding backs, Alice closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed her emotions.
She could have blown Ophelia Thane to death even from across the street, no doubt about it.
She is a demigod, and no one in the Citadel can threaten her in terms of combat power.
But that may not be the case from a human perspective.
The church has been hollowed out and the parliament is being abolished. If this continues, I'm afraid Ophelia will really seize power.
But Alice couldn't spare a hand.
Ophelia acted so flawlessly that even if she killed Johnson, Alice couldn't find any evidence.
It was even more impossible for her to spend time looking for evidence now - the holy war was coming, and if the Painted Gate was the key, then Alice had to find a way to open it.
Pressure came from all directions, causing Alice's forehead to throb with pain.
"Senior, are you okay?" The little golden sparrow whispered, "Please, go back and rest. Your body can't take it."
"Do not..."
Alice covered her forehead and shook her head gently.
"I can't rest."
Cala Dorans Mountains.
"Have you figured it out?"
Beside the fireplace, Perlis supported her face with her hands and looked at Aurora in front of the dressing table.
Aurora was arranging her clothes. From time to time, she would conjure up some small flowers and grasses out of thin air and decorate her clothes and hair as small ornaments.
Seeing that her sister was in the mood to dress herself up, Perlis knew that the verbal conversation she had just had was effective.
She sighed secretly and to be honest, she didn't like to advise others because one has to make their own way.
But after all, it is his sister who is confused.
"We need to find the little saint," Aurora smoothed her hair, "and accept her apology!"
"Don't bully Xiaomo." Perlis smiled lightly.
"Hehe, stay out of the couple's business!"
Aurora straightened her clothes, turned to Perlis, lifted the hem of her skirt and gently turned around twice.
"Does it look good?"
"How could my sister not be pretty?" Perlis smiled.
"Narcissistic sister~"
Aurora ran over to Perlis and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Then, let's go."
"I'll wait here," Perlis rubbed Aurora's head, "I'll appear when you need me to help."
"it is good."
Aurora suddenly felt that her previous rebellion was totally unreasonable. Her sister was so kind, but she was always ungrateful.
She hugged her sister's waist reluctantly and rubbed her little head against her.
Looking at her sister like this, Perlis smiled helplessly, sighing that this little girl was sometimes quite cute.
"Okay, go quickly, don't let Xiaomo wait too long."
"Ok!"
Aurora nodded, turned and left.
As she reached the door, suddenly, a faint vibration came from the distant mountains.
Perlis and Aurora turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the Karadorans Mountains.
It seemed like... something was calling.
"Something's happening..." Aurora whispered, "When we went to Winter County before, we felt like there was something..."
"The direction is... the tomb of the winter envoy!"
"You've been to that God's Tomb once before," Perlis said softly, "Did you find anything?"
"No, that kingdom of God is empty..." Aurora shook her head slightly, "But now... it seems like there's something inside..."
She covered her heart, feeling the mysterious power resonating with her.
"Is it Him... calling me?"
A dead angel calling out to Aurora?
"We have to go and take a look," Aurora said.
"Aren't you looking for your little saint anymore?"
"The little saint can take care of herself. My intuition tells me that this information is crucial and we must go."
Aurora said as she opened the door, revealing green wings behind her.
As soon as she went out, she saw Pearlis standing outside the door.
The broken stars turned into silver meteorite fragments, swirling around her.
"I'll go with you," Perlis said calmly, "It saves time and effort."
Chapter 539: A Land Flowing with Milk and Honey (Part 5) -4k- (Two Updates in One)
"call----"
Two figures flew over the outline of the Caradorans Mountains, almost blending into the pure white of the blizzard.
After crossing the mountains, as we continued to fly north, the extreme cold
It was so cold that even the air seemed to condense.
But this was not a problem for Aurora and Perlis.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two sonic booms sounded in the air, and the two sisters accelerated one after another and flew towards the far north.
Aurora thought the source of the call was the Winterbringer's temple, but she found out she was wrong.
The temple is just a starting point. Following the temple, a long line stretches into the depths of the Karadorans Mountains.
Looking down, pure white is the main tone of the world. There are no plants here. Some ice-crystal-like tree belts grow unevenly on the mountain, and occasionally dark black rocks can be seen among the snow.
After flying several kilometers into the mountains, Aurora suddenly began to descend.
"boom----"
Her figure made a circle in the blizzard and then fell heavily onto the snow.
Aurora slowly stood up and saw a huge stone monument standing in front of her, dotted around with countless giant ice crystal trees.
Right in front of the stone tablet, figures were waiting.
"Look, she's here."
The leader came out with a big belly - it was the Ice God Lathorn.
He twirled the ice hammer in his hand, ice flames flashing in his eyes.
"You think you've found the truth, don't you? You think you're very close to it?"
"Go away." Aurora said.
The next second, thick vines burst out from the ground and stabbed Rathorn and his goblin friends.
The vines instantly froze and shattered! Rathorne flew out with a wild laugh, spinning his hammer in his hand:
"You—are—coming—to—die—"
Just as the hammer was about to hit Aurora, a silver light whistled over—
"clang--"
It was a fragment of the shattered star, which hit the hammer in Rathorn's hand accurately and knocked him into the snow.
He struggled to get up and saw a girl standing next to Aurora.
White hair, red eyes, white shirt and black skirt, with a sea of stars flowing in her eyes.
"Hehehe, it's an Outer God..." Rathorn spat out a mouthful of ice-blue blood and sneered, "This is Shepherd Light Star. Your power isn't that much now, is it?"
