She knew that Sister Wang was a strong person.
This can be exploited.
As for why Alexia was so persistent in investigating, she had to remember what the mysterious man had told her. There was something wrong with their bloodline, and that was why the cult was targeting them. If she couldn't figure out what was going on, Alexia would never feel at ease. Every day when she went to sleep, she would dream that she was sick, and then her body would rot and turn into an ugly monster.
She had to find out the truth.
Then we have to find that mysterious man.
Since that mysterious man can turn the monster back into a monster, if she gets sick in the future, she can also ask that mysterious man for help.
And if you do nothing.
She might never see that mysterious man again, and then one day she might suddenly fall ill, and end up like those who fell ill in the past, stripped of her identity, kicked out of her home, and disposed of.
She doesn't want that kind of future!
Alice was also troubled by Alexia's mention of the control device. With her father's current attitude, even if she wanted to be more forceful, she probably couldn't do it. However, this thing was like a time bomb in her hands, because the cult would definitely take it back. This was just a control device, and the matching ancient artifacts were definitely still in the cult's hands.
But she was unwilling to give it to the cult, and she didn't think it was the right decision. After all, no one knew what the effect of the ancient artifact was. What if it was a very powerful ancient artifact? If that was the case, they took the initiative to return the control device, what was the difference between that and aiding the enemy? There was no doubt that the cult was the enemy. You know, the cult had kidnapped Alexia before and wanted to use her for human experiments.
Perhaps from her father's point of view, Alexia could be sacrificed in exchange for temporary peace, but Alice could not accept this. This was the most important point. It was also for this reason that even though Alice could understand her father's approach, she could not agree with it at all.
Of course, she did not agree with Alexia's idea, because she felt that what her father said made sense. The Order could not be that weak, and the Shadow and the mysterious man could not be that strong. As for the fact that Geno, the traitor of the Knights Templar, was stronger than herself, it was even more ridiculous.
But Alexia was right, too.
You can't pretend you know nothing.
Just tolerance and sacrifice.
It's definitely not a good thing.
"I will find a way to deal with this matter, but Alexia, your current task is to return to the academy and complete your studies. It's too early for you to do this now, and you don't have the ability to participate, right?"
"..."
Alexia looked at Alice in disbelief. You know, I am the person involved. How dare you kick me out? Sister Wang, are you serious? Do you think I will obey you?
"I disagree!"
"Alexia, listen. I don't want to see you get into an accident again."
"Then I should get involved, this matter has something to do with me!"
"No, I'm worried about you."
Alice could not agree to anything. She knew her sister's personality too well. Although she was a little clever, she was too reckless. Most importantly, she was too weak and could not protect herself.
Alexia gritted her teeth.
"Sister Wang, you know me, right? Do you think I'm the kind of person who will stop talking? If you don't let me get involved, I will investigate on my own. Also, you said you were worried that I might get into an accident again? Don't forget, the last time I got into an accident was right in the academy, right under the eyes of your guards. Unless you tie me to your waist, I'm not safe anywhere."
Alice: “…”
What you said seems to make sense.
She had a headache.
Yes, the cult's people seem to be omnipresent. She doesn't even know if there are any cult members lurking around her. In this case, Alexia may not be safe no matter where she stays. Her father didn't ask anyone to strengthen the defense around Alexia. She didn't think there was anything wrong before, but now that she thinks about it, she's afraid that her father is really planning to sacrifice Alexia. This is absolutely not okay!
"I'll think about it again."
"Then I'll wait for good news from Sister Wang~"
Alexia felt that this matter was a sure thing, because she knew her sister's character very well. Although they did have conflicts for a while before, it was not because their relationship was bad. In fact, the relationship between the sisters was very good. It was just that Alexia could not accept the fact that as the younger sister of a genius sister, she had no talent at all and was just a mediocre person.
But now she is no longer entangled, because after seeing the swordsmanship of the mysterious man and Shadow, she suddenly feels that her talent may not be really bad, because the swordsmanship of those two people is not mainstream swordsmanship, but that
There is no doubt that the two of them are extremely powerful, but she may be able to carve out a path of her own.
Ok.
Alexia has a mysterious confidence.
Although Alice took Alexia's words into consideration and wanted to do something, she found that the Knights no longer obeyed her orders. This was the king's instruction, and there might also be resistance from the church. She couldn't be sure, but she knew that the Knights were no longer reliable, and she needed to go out on her own.
She tried to make a plan to form her own knight order, and then submitted the plan. She had already prepared herself for her father's rejection, but the reply she got in the end was an approval. However, there were also requirements, that is, since it was her own knight order, the Kingdom of Midgard would not provide her with any support.
Whether it is talent or materials, she needs to obtain them on her own.
Supplies are not a big problem for Alice. The problem is that she has no one to use. Yes, although she was once the leader of the Kingdom's Magic Sword Knights, after she announced her independence, only Honglian and Mark were willing to follow her. Although there are still some lower-level knights, there are still no talented people.
Helplessly, she could only visit Bafansi again. Due to the lack of talents, she planned to rely on krypton gold props to enhance the strength of the new Knights. This was also the last resort, because knowing that she established the Knights to investigate the Order and the Shadow Courtyard, all the nobles chose to watch coldly. Except for the lower-level knights and her two former confidants, no one was willing to stand on her side at this time.
After all, the fireworks that night were really too gorgeous.
The higher the position a person holds and the more capable he is, the more respect he commands.
[Chapter 16: Gem Sword]
Alice came to Bafansi again to place an order. Although they hadn't seen each other for a while, the princess had changed a lot. The confidence and pride she once had were gone. She looked very bad, like a corporate slave who had worked overtime for several days but still failed to finish her work.
"Princess Alice, are you okay?"
Through his ability of mind reading, Yabinshi saw Alice's thoughts, the helplessness of the newly established Knights in finding talents, the pressure of not being able to agree with the king's decision but not being able to think of a better solution, and the tension and anger towards the dark forces hidden in the dark that might strike again at any time. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening, Alice longed for stronger power to protect the country and her sister.
"Si, I'm here to order magic gifts, like the ones I bought last time that can enhance physical abilities. Do you have any more in stock?"
After Alice finished explaining her purpose, she looked at Bafansi nervously, not holding much hope in her heart. Although Bafansi said that the magic costume was made by her and was not an ancient artifact, in Alice's opinion, it was a modern ancient artifact developed by Bafansi after she mastered the manufacturing method of ancient artifacts. The term "ancient artifact" was originally given by modern people to those mysterious props in ancient times, so there was actually no difference between magic costumes and ancient artifacts.
Bafansi knew about their misunderstanding, but she didn't think of explaining it. Because this misunderstanding was beneficial to her, she could sell the magic costume, which was not worth much, for a higher price. As for the fact that someone might find out that the magic costume and the ancient artifact were actually two completely different items, what did that have to do with her? She said from the beginning that it was a magic costume, and they took her magic costume as an ancient artifact without authorization.
Besides, if we really want to compare them, the effects of magic costumes and ancient artifacts are actually similar. Although the manufacturing methods are indeed different, they are both tools for magic. As for why the magic costumes she sells are mediocre and cannot compare to those powerful ancient artifacts, it is because she does not need to produce stronger magic costumes. She sells magic costumes only to gain a certain status and funds in the kingdom. Otherwise, she can easily make magic costumes of the holy sword and magic sword.
Bafan Si didn't want to accept Alice's order because the money from the last transaction was enough for her to use for a long time. She didn't need to spend money much. After all, she wasn't like Shadow, who had a second-year syndrome and spent a lot of money to show off. For her, as long as the money was enough for her daily expenses, it was enough. Her original intention of selling magic costumes was actually more to gain a recognized identity.
She understood Alice's current difficulties, but that had nothing to do with her. However, considering that Her Royal Highness the Princess had given her a lot of conveniences before, it was not impossible for her to help a little, but asking her to work was absolutely impossible.
"Your Highness Alice, the manufacturing process of magic costumes is not that simple. First of all, special materials are needed, and then I have to do it myself because the process requires very delicate magic operations. The magic costumes I took out before are basically all my stocks. Even if I start refining now, it will take one or two years. I think you can't wait for this time."
"...I see. I understand."
Alice sighed in disappointment, but she was not surprised by the result, because she had experienced the effect of the magic costume, which was really good. In addition, the Kingdom's research institute was also vigorously researching the remaining magic costumes, but had not yet come up with anything. It was conceivable that there was something wrong with it.
How high the technical content is.
"However, I have another magic gift here, but the conditions for using it are quite harsh."
"Can I take a look?"
"Of course, please take a look."
Bafansi took out a wooden box and when he opened it, he found a beautiful dagger inside.
"What is the effect of this magic gift?"
Alice reached out and picked up the dagger, and all the information was automatically input into her mind.
[Gem Sword: By accumulating magic power on the sword on a daily basis, you can borrow this magic power to greatly improve your physical fitness and magic power when necessary.]
At first, Alice was a little disappointed when she saw the dagger as long as a fruit knife, because this kind of dagger did not match her fighting style. But when she saw the effect of this magic costume, she realized that it was an ornamental equipment just like the previous magic costumes. The gem sword was not a weapon used directly in combat, but was used to strengthen the user. However, she did not know how good the strengthening effect of this gem sword was, because the gem sword had usage restrictions and had to be infused with magic power first, unlike the previous magic costumes, which could be tested directly as soon as they were obtained.
"The effect of this magic suit is far beyond the previous magic tricks, but the conditions for its use are not something that ordinary people can meet. Your Highness Alice, you may want to input magic power and try it. The gemstone on the dagger will change color. There are five levels in total, and the colors displayed are white, blue, red, and yellow."
Now the gem on the dagger is transparent, just like glass. Alice input her magic power into the gem sword according to the instructions of Bafansi. She was surprised to find that it usually takes very delicate operation to infuse magic power into the sword without damaging it, but this gem sword has no such scruples at all, because the gem sword accepts everything and swallows as much as it can. Alice was almost emptying her body when she saw a silvery white appear on the gem on the dagger. But it was still a long way from being filled, and this was only the first gear. In addition to the first gear, there are four more gears!
"Please remember that the magic power must be your own, and no one other than you can use the Gem Sword. The only consequence of mismatched magic power is self-destruction. Please do not use other methods to replenish your magic power, or let others use the Gem Sword."
"I see. Does the use of the gem sword have any other costs?"
Alice thought of the magic costumes that were stolen from her by the Shadow Courtyard. Although those magic costumes could enhance the physical fitness of the user, they would consume the user's physical strength.
"No, the only limitation of the Gem Sword is that it can only be charged. The enhancement it brings is all-round, but the duration of the enhancement will vary depending on the individual's physical condition."
"How much can it be strengthened?"
“You have to experience this yourself.”
Bafansi did not give an answer.
Because it's completely unnecessary.
Although this is just a casual work of hers, it is undoubtedly a high-quality product.
With Alice's magic power level, she can only use it up to the third level at best. Even if she spends her whole life replenishing her magic power, she won't have the chance to fill the magic power of the gem sword to the fourth level. If she wants to charge it to the fifth level, the only one with hope in this world right now is Shadow.
Moreover, the restrictions on the Gem Sword are too troublesome.
It must be charged with one's own magic power, and no other means of charging will work.
It's a piece of chicken ribs.
For those who can fill the gear, the enhancement of the jewel sword is no longer necessary.
This was made by Yabinshi imitating Toosaka Rin's jewel sword, but the problem is that she can't borrow the magic power from the parallel world. As a time traveler, she doesn't have clones in multiple timelines and has no power to borrow. So she changed the function of borrowing power to self-charging, and ended up making such a useless thing. She even thinks it takes up too much space in the warehouse. Although it is of high quality, she wouldn't feel bad even if she sold it to Alice at a low price.
But to say it is weak is really nonsense.
Although the conditions of use are quite restrictive, the enhancements provided by the gem sword are real.
The most important thing is that compared with the original gem sword, the gem sword made by Bafansi can not only enhance magic power, but it is an all-round enhancement including body and magic power, and it does not have the side effects of the original version that would hurt the body. It will even leave a certain degree of strengthening effect on the user after use. It can be said that it combines the effects of a one-time burst + level increase. If it is placed in this world, it can be passed down as a family heirloom holy sword.
Maybe it will become a magical weapon exclusively for brave men in the future.
However, it seems that there are no heroes in this world yet.
Yabinshi took out this magic gift suit because she and Alice have been getting along pretty well recently. Even if this thing is rubbish to her, its actual value is there. If they didn't have any friendship, she would never have taken it out.
Unfortunately, Alice failed to realize the advanced nature of the jewel sword.
What Bafansi considered to be garbage was actually much better than the ancient artifacts passed down from generation to generation in the Midgar royal family.
The price Alice offered was far from enough.
However, Bafansi did not hesitate and sold it directly at a fixed price.
She believed that after Alice experienced the effect of the gem sword, she would come back to express her gratitude.
Even the first level of enhancement is enough to make Alice almost as strong as the so-called 'Seven Shadows' of the Shadow Courtyard. If she can be enhanced to the fourth level, she should be able to tie with the Shadow. At the fifth level, there is hope of defeating the Shadow. The only problem is that charging is too difficult.
Bafansi sat on the sofa and picked up the latest edition of the newspaper.
The first question is about the upcoming Bushin Festival selection contest.
This selection contest is a warm-up event for the Wuxin Festival. Participants are all students of the Magic Swordsman Academy. The top three will be eligible to participate in the Wuxin Festival. It is the most lively event before the Wuxin Festival officially begins. After all, Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy is the world's leading academy and a place where contemporary young geniuses gather. Recently, the royal capital has become visibly more lively, and there are more foreign tourists.
Two months ago, the impact of the incident caused by Shadow Court and the Cult was gradually overshadowed by the upcoming wave of activities.
Immediately following this headline news, there is a news story about a murderer.
It said something like 'The Shadow Courtyard Reappears, a Random Killer Appears in the Middle of the Night'.
The transaction between Bafansi and Shadow was completed a month ago.
She now knows that Shadow Court is an all-female organization with only Shadow as a male member.
However, these random killers are mostly male killers.
There is no doubt that someone is deliberately trying to ruin the reputation of Shadow Courtyard.
This murderer has appeared for a week or two. I don’t know why Shadow just left him alone.
Could it be that these murderers are members of the cult in disguise?
Is Shadow playing the long game?
Forget it, it has nothing to do with me.
Ever since she killed Geno and plundered the memories of this candidate Knight of the Round Table, she has been extremely disappointed with the strength of the cult. The information she got from the Shadow only proved again that most of Geno's memories were true, and there was no reversal at all. This cult was actually a group of rats in the gutter. They were not even believers in the devil. They were just a group of rubbish who longed for immortality and were looking for the power of Diabolos everywhere.
After knowing the truth.
She could only say that this cult was rubbish.
She really wanted to take out the witch factor of the seven deadly sins and set up a witch cult in this world to show them how a real cult works.
"The jewel sword should be enough for Alice to kill the cult's cadres. If Geno's memory is correct, the strength of the Knights of the Round Table is probably the same as when he took drugs. Maybe the Knights at the front of the list will be stronger, but Geno himself doesn't seem to think highly of the ones at the back. After Alice is strengthened with the jewel sword, she is definitely stronger than Geno on drugs."
She felt the insurance was adequate.
And after all, if the ancient artifact was really that important, why did the Order leave the control device to the Kingdom to help them study it? Aren't they afraid that the Kingdom would really get hold of the ancient artifact? You have to know that although the Order is stronger than the Kingdom of Midgard, they actually have concerns, otherwise they wouldn't hide. And according to Geno's memory, the scholars in the Order are obviously much more powerful than the researchers in the Kingdom, and they don't need to take such risks to study the control device. So this game against the Kingdom of Midgard was most likely set up by a member of the Order, and it was not a decision made by the Knights of the Round Table at all.
So she felt that after she gave away the jeweled sword, the cult's plan was almost certain to fail.
The only possible accident might be the Shadow Courtyard. Alice fell into the hands of the Shadow Courtyard last time, and even her magic costume was stripped off. If the Shadow Courtyard makes a move again this time, she thinks Alice will most likely fight with the Shadow Courtyard.
Although the Shadow Court has made it clear that it is in a hostile relationship with the Cult.
