After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

Are there really such people in the world?

……

……

Well, actually there is.

It's like people are normally unaware of the existence of air or that they are breathing - only when reminded will they switch to manual transmission.

She has been in this environment since the moment she was born, and those who are truly drawn into the network of faith cannot possibly question the so-called miraculous nature of it. If you think about it this way, it seems not impossible that they really don't notice it.

But this is too—

"Ugh……"

Aize sighed and shook his head.

Realizing that there was no point in continuing, he decided to end the conversation:

"In short, if you really care about your believers and humanity, stay put for the next few days to a month and don't do anything. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen."

"Aize, my actions have always been guided by the beliefs of the people. This has been the same in the past, it is the same now, and it will not change in the future."

This answer was equivalent to directly rejecting Aize and being prepared to go his own way to the end.

Not unexpected.

"…Remember what I said, goodbye."

Not intending to stay even for a second longer, Aize turned around, opened the door, walked through the narrow, half-ruined corridor again, and returned to the hall without looking back.

During the time he was doing this, the situation in the hall had changed.

Some of the believers had completely lost consciousness under the influence of Villian's spell, lying on the ground in a mess, no longer moving.

Seeing this, the others finally stopped praying and started helping to carry the believers who had lost consciousness.

The fatigue on their faces was uncontrollable, and the body aches from kneeling all night made them grimaced. If nothing unexpected happened, they would probably go to rest after moving the people.

There is no need to worry about any major problems for the time being.

Let’s take our time with the future.

Aize waved his hand, signaling everyone present to pack up and leave and return to the command center.

As soon as we left the church area, Villian came up to us:

"Aize, what's the situation? Does that woman make sense?"

"Tsk, what do you say? If that makes sense, she wouldn't be called Rosalyn."

Aize twisted his mouth, his face full of dissatisfaction and disgust.

The witch sighed, spread her hands and said helplessly:

"If you knew, why didn't you tell her in the first place? Isn't that a waste of time?"

"Even if there's only a one percent chance, we should always try. Besides, as long as the information is conveyed, it doesn't matter if she doesn't believe it now. If problems arise in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to make her believe it."

Persuasion and education through words are always ineffective. For those who are stubborn, they should be severely beaten by reality.

This was the case with Heidi before.

Now Rosalyn is no exception.

In fact, considering the powerful functions and uniqueness of the Faith Network, the Faceless King may be the only one in the world capable of doing this.

It's also a good opportunity for Aize.

Violet tilted her head.

"That's true, but how are you going to deal with it? That shameless bastard will definitely incite the believers to cause trouble, right?"

"That? Don't worry about that. That guy sneaked in alone without any other subordinates, so what he can do is actually very limited. Don't worry too much."

The Faceless King's combat power is the weakest among the leaders, and his strange special abilities should also have many limitations, otherwise there would be no need for him to escape when facing Azer and Villian.

Therefore, as long as you change the security mode accordingly, you don't have to worry too much about it playing hardball.

It doesn't matter if the information is leaked. After all, there are still a group of succubi in the city. Many things cannot be concealed, and the demons will definitely know about it.

Therefore, in reality, all it can do is to incite the Pure White Saint Sect to cause trouble.

The Pure White Saint Maiden Sect's trouble-making was something that was expected.

After all, the original plan did not expect that one attack could completely paralyze them.

Now the unexpected surprise is gone and everything is back to the original plan.

Therefore, whether or not to reach a cooperation with Rosalyn is not that important.

Compared to these, Aize is more concerned about other things:

"Vir, can you believe it? That woman didn't even know the existence of the Faith Network."

"Huh!? I don't know!? This must be fake, right? How is this possible?"

Miss Witch's face was filled with disbelief, which was exactly the same as her previous reaction.

Aize just sighed:

"Judging from her reaction, she probably really doesn't know. The question is, if she's not consciously aware of the existence of the faith network, then how does she actually view herself?"

"She also said that she is the object of faith. Is it possible that she truly sees herself as a goddess, or the incarnation of a goddess? Even the faith of the Pure White Saint Cult is influenced by this perception? If that's the case... isn't her so-called slogan for the goddess a bit ridiculous?"

Chapter 121 Left Behind Personnel

After opening the shop as usual, the mixed-race girl, Anna, sat at a table, scowling as she gazed at the empty shop and sighed.

"Today, there's still not a single customer... Well, there's nothing we can do about it, since we're in the middle of a war."

In addition to Lilbas, which was the core of the incident, almost the entire border between the Empire and the Demons was also caught in battles of varying intensities.

Almost all the available demon and imperial forces are concentrated there. The intensity and progress of this war are far from reaching its peak.

Beyond the battle lines, the entire continent was drawn into the situation.

Every border city is preparing for war, and every fortress city is mobilizing, ready to meet possible enemies or support friendly forces at any time.

As the kingdom's most important fortress city, Tafia, which faces the Anlin Plain, a gap in the central mountain range, was on alert the moment the news of the expedition came.

The guards began patrolling and maintaining full alert, the city was sealed off, and all non-essential commercial activities were suspended. The Knights in Training, formed by Aize, were also fully on standby, ready for their first real combat encounter.

In this tense situation, a small and inconspicuous restaurant would naturally have no business.

"Shaved ice used to sell really well, so even if we closed for a month, we didn't have to worry too much about funding. But it's really hard to see no one coming."

After the previous Tafia incident ended, the mixed-race people in the village were resettled. Many people chose to leave the city to open up wasteland or joined the newly formed army, so they no longer had to worry about their livelihood.

Anna herself, relying on Alicia's income, didn't have to worry about food and clothing. She could even get a scholarship if she entered the soon-to-open magic academy as planned, so in theory, the store wouldn't be a problem.

The reason why it is still open is simply because I want to do my best to contribute to the city that has taken me in.

So, looking at the deserted scene, Anna felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, it means that Tafia may be dragged into war again.

"……never mind."

It's not good to keep thinking about these things with a sad face. The little girl decided to change the subject and turned her head to the side:

"How long has Big Brother been gone? Almost a month, right? Sister, do you know how he's doing over there? Is it really okay to continue like this?"

The pink-haired girl in question—Alicia—was sitting on the steps in front of her door, staring blankly at the street ahead, now empty due to martial law.

When asked this, he turned his head:

"What about Aize? I'm not sure what's going on, but it must be okay. After all, he's Aize!"

Anna stood up, shook her head, walked over to her and sat down:

"As for the serious stuff, there's definitely no problem with Big Brother. After all, he's the hero who saved the city. But that's not what I'm talking about."

The pink-haired girl tilted her head:

"what is that?"

"Of course it's that aspect! That aspect!"

The black-haired little girl waved her hands excitedly

"Don't you like big brother?! But this time, big brother didn't take you with him on this trip, but brought witch sister and knight sister with him. And he went to knight sister's hometown. Don't you think there's anything wrong with that?! It's been over a month! If he does something, maybe he'll even have a child by the time he comes back next time! Is that okay?!"

Although they have no blood relationship, Anna has always regarded Alicia as her own sister and family member during their long time together.

At the same time, she also likes Aize very much - the kind of love she has for him as a reliable and gentle older brother.

To this end, Anna has been actively making suggestions and trying to bring the two of them together in private.

I don't ask to be the only one, but at least I hope that my sister can have a place by Aize's side in the future, and not be too marginalized because of her personality and cognitive problems.

Anyway, according to Alicia herself, she also likes Aize, so it’s not like she’s working in vain.

However, it is counterproductive.

Before, when Alicia lived in Aize's house as a maid, Anna had been indirectly encouraging her to take the initiative.

No fruit.

Then, before Alicia accompanied Aize to the royal capital, she suggested to her sister that she should take the opportunity to find some opportunities to be alone and express herself more.

But still no results.

With so many opportunities, even if she had strangled him with the tentacles and forced herself on him, something should have happened. But this useless sister didn't accomplish anything.

Not to mention any substantial emotional progress, even the romantic elements are completely non-existent.

It was so bad that even Anna, a minor, couldn't stand it.

Even this time, even though Aize was going so far away, he left his sister at home to look after the house.

This is already a very dangerous signal.

But Alicia's own reaction was—

"No, I don't think there's any problem. Aize has a good relationship with everyone, isn't that a good thing? Ah, of course, I actually want to travel far away too. As for the children... no problem, I will learn how to take care of them! This is not only part of the maid's job, but also an opportunity to get to know humans better!"

At this point, Alicia even became inexplicably motivated.

"Anna, what do you think... before they come back, should I ask someone in the village who has given birth? That way, we can be prepared so we don't end up in a rush and causing more trouble for Aize."

"........."

Anna's eyes almost popped out, and she stared at her sister with a look of caring for a mentally retarded person.

The latter was completely unaware of this and even continued speaking:

"Speaking of which, how long is the human gestation period? I remember it being quite long. Yeah, that's good. I still have plenty of time to prepare. If I do it well, will Aize praise me... uh, Anna?"

My half-sister jerked her head away.

The magic power that had been growing stronger due to his self-study during this period of time, softly crackled in the air. The sound mixed with the crackling of bones, combined with the eyes widened to their maximum, with pupils constricted, looked terrifying.

Alicia even felt something like murderous intent for a moment, so much so that her body instinctively moved back a little subconsciously.

"elder sister."

"Uh, in?"

"Too stupid."

"Huh? No...why are you scolding me?"

"It's been months! I've seen the brother and the witch sister date several times! They even went on a trip together before, a trip together, right? You're just going to be okay with this forever!? Really? Are you satisfied with just playing the role of a pet?!"

Anna jumped up from the ground, put one hand on her hip and asked questions with amazing momentum, her face kept pressing forward, almost forcing Alicia directly to the bottom of the stairs.

Alicia broke out in a cold sweat, but still shook her head:

"I think... it's nothing, right? Anyway, as long as I can stay by Aize's side... that's enough..."

"you--"

Anna was about to say something else.

But then I thought about how this guy always seemed to be in this tone. It was useless to get angry or talk more.
