Chapter 363: Alice's Papal Trial
Alice was quite certain that she didn't know Enzog.
She was also very sure that her strength was a facade.
Could it be that the tool Claude gave her had some additional functionality?
Enzog's fall turned the entire venue into a library, with everyone utterly silent.
Alice didn't have time to ponder what was going on and directly said, "This is the consequence of challenging me. Is anyone else willing to test my strength?"
She looked around, paying particular attention to Locke Lovel, who had been the most trouble earlier.
Locke Lovel quickly buried his head, not daring to meet Alice's eyes at all.
Enzog, the War Bishop, one of the elders of the Master of Thunder Church, was directly killed by Alice in an instant, and looking at his grave injuries, it didn't seem like an act.
With the help of several advanced healing spells, Enzog barely managed to cling to life, but his soul was severely damaged, and he might even fall out of the thirteenth level.
The cost of such a performance seemed excessively high.
A fourteenth-tier strongman, a young cleric who vowed to make the Master of Thunder great again with grand ambitions.
This election seemed to have lost its necessity.
Alice still had lingering fears until she stepped down from the stage.
If Enzog hadn't suddenly come up to save the day, she was already ready to drop everything and run away.
The moment she forcibly disguised herself as a fourteenth-tier, she knew it was a gamble, but she chose it without hesitation.
Alice understood from a young age:
Fate gives you very few choices, and every opportunity is extremely precious. You must seize every chance to possibly change your life.
And at that moment, Alice felt the flow of destiny.
This intuitive perception of fate kept her from considering the consequences of such a forceful disguise as a fourteenth-tier.
There was fear, but what followed immediately was the joy brought by the huge reward.
But Alice was no longer a little girl who could be easily satisfied by simple pleasures; she quickly calmed herself down.
What exactly was the matter with Enzog?
Soon, she got her answer.
Shen Sui also wanted to know the answer.
All gifts must have a logical background; Enzog couldn't have just wanted to commit suicide and executed a self-performance in full view of the public, could he?
[Alice found Catherine.]
["This is a transaction." Catherine didn't hide the truth from Alice, "A transaction between us and Enzog."]
["Transaction? Did he injure himself?" Alice was puzzled, completely unable to understand, "This is an injury that might cause a drop in level. Does he need to do this?"]
["Do you think he is called the War Bishop for nothing?" Catherine had no sympathy for Enzog's serious injury, the transaction included such compensation, "He wants to go further, and he needs a grand war, the petty fights within Roland Kingdom no longer satisfy his need for victory."]
[The War Bishop is at the thirteenth level, he's already sensed the presence of his domain; once he activates the domain, he can be promoted to the fourteenth level, compared to this, such an injury is really nothing, for someone of Enzog's status, as long as he doesn't die, it's not a problem at all.]
[Enzog's domain is related to war; the grander the war he initiates, the greater the chance of activating his domain.]
[From this matter, he shared a common interest with Alice, so it's not surprising that he helped her.]
[Moreover, there's also Catherine's promise.]
["Ah, thank you, Catherine." Alice showed a grateful smile.]
[Catherine looked at the adorable Alice, her cheeks slightly flushed with excitement.]
[What an adorable and beautiful child.]
["I do have some strength." Catherine said to Alice, "The next should be the Pope's trial, right? If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me for help."]
[Alice didn't really believe a princess could have any strength, she looked so gentle and weak.]
Ah, you have misunderstood; the princess before you could probably take on five of you.
Shen Sui remarked in his heart.
[Although Alice passed the initial selection of the Pope, to officially become a Pope, she still has to pass the Pope's trial of the Master of Thunder Church.]
[The so-called Pope's trial is essentially the internal factions of the Master of Thunder Church assigning Alice the things they most want to achieve, and during this period, Alice can call upon all the resources of the church as if she were the Pope.]
["If you can't complete the Pope's trial, then you won't be able to ascend the throne." Catherine said to Alice.]
[Alice stroked her chin, pondering.]
["So, what do you plan to do first?" Catherine asked curiously.]
[Alice clapped her palm, saying: "First, embezzle some public funds."]
["????" Catherine's brain was stunned, what is this nonsense?!]
[Alice felt a bit guilty and cautiously asked: "Isn't it said that I can call upon all the Master of Thunder Church's resources?"]
["Ah, uh..." Catherine hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's what they say, and you can do so, but you shouldn't be so forthright about it, be more subtle..."]
["Okay, then I'll first reallocate a batch of materials." Alice nodded, saying, "It's always possible to make war puppets for the war preparations, right?"]
["Has the church given you the task?" Catherine rubbed her temples and quickly asked the next crucial question.]
[Alice said: "I seem to have received a piece of paper."]
[Alice took out the letter she had just received.]
[Catherine was also dumbfounded upon seeing it: "Are these people crazy?! Can anyone even accomplish this?"]
[Task one: Lure the Sea Race, open sea routes for the Master of Thunder Church to gain lanes for a rear attack on the Daylight Church.]
[Task two: Expel Qishala, awaken the slumbering Dragon God, and reestablish the Dragon God Church.]
[Task three: Recruit alien races, make up for the combat power of the Master of Thunder Church.]
[Task four: Occupy Bambul City.]
["I understand the first few, but what's Bambul City?" Alice pointed to the tasks and said.]
[Catherine was anxious: "What's there to understand or not understand! Which of these are easy to accomplish? Sea Races, Dragon Races, Alien Races, do you think they're easy to deal with?"]
["Ah... Which alien races are they referring to?"]
["Blood Race, Giant Race, etc., they are all very powerful extraordinary races." Catherine said, "As for Bambul City, it's most famous as the birthplace of the Twilight Saintess Vivian."]
