My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 614 - 440: Alice Prepares for the Trial (4K)
She immediately jumped up happily, ran to Qishala’s side, and said, "Long time no see! Sister Qishala!"
Qishala raised her hand and ruffled Alice’s hair.
Among all of Shen Sui’s women, Qishala was considered the earliest to know Alice. Alice was also an important medium for her reunion with Shen Sui, so her affection for Alice was naturally self-evident.
"Was the journey smooth?" Qishala asked.
Alice scratched her head and laughed, "Pretty smooth."
Pretty smooth...
Qishala thought of the earlier scene where Shen Sui could barely hold back laughter at Alice’s antics along the way; only Alice would dare to say such a journey was smooth.
"Smooth is good." Qishala suppressed a smile and said, "Get ready, there will be a trial waiting for you afterward."
"A trial, huh." Alice’s eyes sparkled, "What kind of trial is it?"
This trial was suddenly arranged for her by Claude, and it was said to be a result of discussions with Qishala, supposedly related to the legendary Dragon God.
Alice was not afraid of the gods, but she was aware enough to know she was certainly not a match for the Dragon God.
"Regarding the Dragon God," Qishala patted Alice’s shoulder to reassure her, "when the time comes, Freymia and I will handle it. The main thing is for you to take a look at the Otherworld."
"The Otherworld?" Alice said curiously.
"Yes, it’s somewhat like your Dream World," Qishala said, "It should be very interesting, and Claude has many old subordinates over there."
Alice knew Qishala had always been in contact with Claude, so her knowing about the Dream World was not surprising.
"Huh? Does Claude have business in the Otherworld?" Alice became even more interested, "Are you sure they’re old subordinates? Not old lovers?"
Qishala raised her head and lightly knocked Alice on the head.
Alice cried out, squatting down while holding her head.
"Don’t slander Claude like that," Qishala said with a smile.
When appearing as the queen, Qishala would not address Shen Sui as her master, as it was essential to maintain the dignity of the Dragon Race Queen.
This matter was approved by Shen Sui, and in fact, with Qishala behaving this way, Shen Sui would be even more excited.
Just think, a revered and lofty Dragon Race Queen calling you master in private, even crying out ’master’ continuously at night—how satisfying would that be!
"So, this time over, if you encounter anything too dangerous, don’t take risks; just seek help from Claude’s old subordinates," Shen Sui had instructed Qishala to say these words, mainly to lead Alice to draw out the Dragon Princesses he created in World No. 16 to obtain their Follower Cards.
If Alice handled everything herself, she wouldn’t be able to collect more Dragon Princess Cards.
However, Shen Sui wasn’t planning to restrict Alice’s actions because allowing Alice to act freely was beneficial to Shen Sui.
Shen Sui was currently at the stage of beginning to diversify his card deck, requiring a large number of Life Cards.
A library of cards is something where the more Life Cards, the better; no one would complain about having too few Life Cards.
After all, you never know if some old cards in your library might regain vitality under the influence of new cards, even reaching the level that could make it onto the Forbidden Card List.
"Lobelia sent a message." After being caught by Alice, Lobelia, as a second-generation wealthy of Dragon Island, finally contacted her mother. Jilinna, following Qishala, conveyed the message from Lobelia about Dragon Valley to Alice, "The giant dragons in Dragon Valley have already responded to the Dragon God Sect’s call and are preparing."
"Huh? Why is it the Dragon God Sect’s call?" When Alice heard this, she voiced a question that had been buried in her heart for a long time, "All the believers in Dragon Valley are giant dragons; shouldn’t they be closer to the Dragon God?"
"The gods are no longer giant dragons," Qishala said simply, "and now, Mitole probably doesn’t trust any giant dragon on the Dawn Continent anymore."
Before Mitole’s fall, Dragon Island had already been conquered by Shen Sui. In the eyes of Dragon God Mitole, Dragon Island had already betrayed her.
Qishala dispersed the other giant dragons and took Alice for a stroll along the beach of Dragon Island.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it was as if a mother and daughter were strolling together.
Alice quietly watched Qishala. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Even for Alice, the continuous battles and conquests had indeed worn her out, and she greatly enjoyed this moment of leisure.
This rare fatigue was truly addictive.
No idea how long they strolled like this until Qishala finally asked, "Everything okay on your end? Since the Dragon God Sect has notified Dragon Valley, they should have notified you as well, right?"
Alice nodded and said, "They did urge me to head to Dragon Island quickly."
"But you need to initiate the trial first," Qishala said, "Stop the Dragon God’s recovery first. Deliberately delaying the investigation would put you in a difficult position, right?"
Alice had informed Qishala about the Dragon God Sect’s plans well in advance, which was why Qishala posed the question.
"No worries." Alice grinned, "They think I’m just now leaving the Northern Lands Snow Realm."
Although most of the time Alice was acting freely, as the acting Pope, being in a prolonged state of disappearance was highly dangerous. Therefore, Alice occasionally contacted the Thunder Church.
As proof of trust with the church, Alice took the blame for killing the new War God High Priest upon herself and Adoma.
She claimed that during her fight for the Giant’s Crown, she clashed with the War God Church and, in a fit of anger, killed the War God High Priest.
The death of the new High Priest hadn’t even been confirmed by the War God Church yet, so it became evidence for Alice to account for her time.
Through this piece of evidence, Alice carved out time she needed for going to the giant tribes, creating a time gap of fifteen or sixteen days between Adoma and Hozerville’s tracks. In the eyes of the Dragon God Sect, Pope Adoma would need about sixteen more days to reach Dragon Island.
And this sixteen-day period was the time Alice had to enter the Otherworld for trial, in order to search for and prevent the revival of Dragon God Mitole.
"Roughly when should I head to that Otherworld?" Alice knew that sixteen days was very tight for such matters, so she asked.
"Tomorrow, perhaps," Qishala calculated the time in her heart; Antipus had probably reached World No. 16 by now, "Tomorrow morning, you can access that world through my Dragon Scale."
"Get a good rest tonight," Qishala told Alice, taking out some of the information on World No. 16 given to Shen Sui by the Exploration Bureau, and said to Alice, "In the meantime, get familiar with that world. Don’t worry, in most cases your abilities won’t encounter much problem there."
Alice nodded emphatically.
For Shen Sui, due to the time difference between the two worlds, Alice quickly entered the trial process.
Antipus’s speed was nothing short of swift. The day before Alice reached Dragon Island, she arrived at the gateway of World No. 16 and cautiously bit a small hole in the world barrier, deploying Qishala’s Dragon Scale into it.
This was a daunting challenge for Antipus.
Previously, most of her work on world barriers involved tearing them apart, gnawing a big hole, and announcing her own arrival. She had never performed such a meticulous operation akin to surgery before.
Evidently, beginners often make some mistakes.
The small hole Antipus thought she made was not small at all in the eyes of the extraordinaries of World No. 16.
On that day, the sky of World No. 16 appeared with a large hole.
The dark material of the Broken Realm flooded into World No. 16.
Under the gaze of the strongest beings surrounding the black hole in World No. 16, Qishala’s Dragon Scale gently fell from the black hole.
At this moment, Alice still didn’t know that her fantasy of sneaking in quietly was no longer possible.
The moment she descended into World No. 16 would also be a globally spotlighted instant.
