Okay, the next step is to deliver the things, then hide and wait for the other side to start the ceremony, then launch a sneak attack and snatch the power of the evil god.
Alice should know how to hide...right?
[Alice knocked on the door of the Thunder Church in Anlude.]
[It was already evening, and the setting sun was submerged in the mountains, leaving only the orange-red afterglow slanting down and falling on Alice.]
[Bathing in the residual warmth of the sun, Alice began to quickly adjust her mentality and expression. ]
[Her hands rhythmically knocked on the church door, as if she was playing some mysterious music.]
【Squeak——】
[The door of the church was opened. A hunchbacked old man opened the door and asked Alice the purpose of her visit.]
[Alice showed an evil smile, and her behavior showed no awe towards the Lord of Thunder: I think you are waiting for this thing.]
[She took out the Eye of the Evil God in front of the old man.]
[The old man's face changed slightly, and at the same time, a powerful force surged out of the church and locked onto Alice, as if it could rain thunder and wrath at any time and smash Alice into ashes.]
[Alice held the Eye of the Evil God against her chest with both hands, her eyes were crazy, revealing a crazy expression like a fanatic: I am the most devout believer of our Lord, following our Lord's instructions, and I come here to guide you on your way forward.]
【You can call me Holzewell. 】
Chapter 48 Alice Instigates Rebellion
No surprise.
Shen Sui was no longer surprised by Alice's various magical operations.
He clearly remembered that the original plan he told Alice was to hide in the high place and wait for the arrival of Sokfatis after the delivery, and then use the puppet to steal the power of the evil god. Why did you go and knock on the door? I had already prepared a magic of cognitive interference for you, and the other party would not doubt the sudden appearance of the evil god's eye and the contract.
Shen Sui rubbed his temples and felt a headache.
【At this time, a party is being held in the church. 】
[This is a grand party. Everyone walking around in the party is dressed in gorgeous and noble clothes. Their every move seems to be full of elegance.]
[Alice, with her experience as a poor peasant, immediately smelled the scent of nobility in them.]
[Are all the nobles who disappeared in Anlude City here? ]
[No, the ones here are mostly the heads of the nobles. Their families and subordinates should have been moved to a safe place to avoid being sacrificed in the evil god's ritual.]
[Alice analyzes in her mind.]
[The old man led Alice into a secret room in the church, where Alice saw a gloomy middle-aged man.]
[The middle-aged man is named Tim Cardan, a priest of the Church of the Lord of Thunder stationed in Anlude, and a seventh-level magician.]
[He has been a seventh-level magician for ten years, and has never been able to find a way to improve his strength. At the same time, he has no background in the church and has no chance of promotion.]
[If he doesn't do something, his future will be at an end. ]
【Tim doesn't want to be trapped in Anlude City forever.】
[So he kept looking up various ancient books, and finally found information about the evil god Sokfatis in a notebook of the Twilight Bishop.]
Wait?! Could this notebook of yours be the guide I wrote in the National Library?
Shen Sui looked at the words on the duel instrument and was a little speechless.
In order to increase the interaction between players and the fun of the game, Dawn Link borrowed the invasion mechanism and message mechanism from the Dark Souls series. After the number of players increased, in order to allow new players to play the game smoothly, everyone used the message mechanism to leave various strategies in the game.
The messages in other places might be jokes like "There is a skeleton ahead", but the messages in the National Library of Rollin are absolutely real, because this is the default place for advanced players to check guides for newbies. They will leave various in-game guides in the form of messages in the National Library, and in the game settings, these messages will be converted into notes.
Then you deserve to be fucked.
Shen Sui frowned, because his guide to the evil god clearly mentioned that sacrificing puppets could be used as a substitute to avoid sacrificing an entire city.
Obviously, in Tim's mind, the life of a city is unimportant, and there is no need to go to the trouble of making any sacrificial dolls - of course, this may also be because puppet magic is very difficult to obtain.
It's puppet magic after all.
Although the producers have done some stitching and cheated players into buying money, they understand the players' minds very well.
Who can resist a wife who can customize her face? And with the help of a mod.
[Tim followed the notes and found the Eye of the Evil God and the contract with Sokfatis.]
[He decided to sacrifice the city of Anlude to welcome the coming of the evil god, and then establish a new church, and he will become the first pope of this church! ]
【Tim's plan successfully convinced the nobles of Anlude City, and no one could refuse the opportunity to invest in a new church.】
[History has proven that as long as you have the support of the gods, you will become one of the most powerful forces on the continent in the shortest possible time.]
【Tonight is the time for the Advent Ceremony to begin. 】
[The nobles held a grand party here. They will hold their wine glasses and stand on the highest point of Mount Anlude, looking down at the destruction of Anlude City and watching the coming of the gods. This will be a rare and beautiful scenery.]
【Tim looked at the girl in front of him. The huge difference in rank made it easy for him to see through Alice's strength.】
[A third-level magician actually dared to come before me. 】
【Tim's thoughts surge.】
[No! This is her disguise! A third-level magician can never destroy my entire Thunder Knights! Can't even I see her true strength? This person is unfathomable.]
Uh...this is your Dihua, brother.
At times like this, you should just fire a fireball, and then everything will be exposed.
[Tim knew that Holzewell was the mad woman who destroyed the city of sin and actually killed the god she believed in with her own hands.]
[Tim began to believe Alice's words, because he felt that he finally knew the reason why Holzewell destroyed the City of Sin, because this rebellious witch was not a believer of the God of Sin at all, she was a believer of Sokfatis! ]
No! Isn't your imagination too complete? Alice hasn't said anything yet, but you have already imagined the cause and effect of her behavior?
Shen Sui felt that there was something wrong with Tim's brain.
I finally understand why so many people in my previous life believed in scams like "I am Qin Shi Huang". There really are such stupid people in this world.
[Alice gained Tim's trust. With Tim's introduction, she appeared in front of the nobles as a loyal believer of Sokfatis.]
[The story of the disobedient Saint Holzewell has spread across the continent through newspapers and communication magic. Of course, the nobles have heard of her name.]
【Their trust in Alice increased greatly. 】
Ah this...
When Shen Sui saw this, he began to wonder about Alice's purpose.
The duel instrument did not switch the perspective to Alice's mental activities, so Shen Sui was not quite sure what Alice was thinking at this time.
Is Alice planning to punish this noble who plans to sacrifice the entire city?
With her hatred of evil, it is indeed possible for her to do so. However, the cheat that Shen Sui gave her now did not involve her personal strength, and Alice would not allow Anna to take action because of the risk of contamination of the Holy Grail. So with only the strength of a third-level magician, how does Alice plan to punish these people?
[Alice walked among the nobles, chatting and laughing with every one of them.]
[She imitated the nobles who came to collect taxes that she had seen in the village before, always with a gentle smile on her face.]
【During this period, she promoted her grand plan to the nobles of Anlude. 】
[The great Sokfatis possesses power that surpasses all the gods in the world. ]
【We, as His followers, have the obligation to spread His power and mercy to the whole world.】
[Alice is going to set up a church, Tim Cardin will be the pope of the church, and she will be the saint of the church. ]
[This newly founded church needs too much sponsorship. Alice needs the help of the nobles to provide knights and money. ]
【Tim arrives and endorses Alice's plan.】
[The nobles hesitated, after all, they had not seen the great god yet. ]
[Alice climbed onto the altar, she raised the Eye of the Evil God above her head, and activated the power of the Sokfatis Contract.]
[At that moment, the power of the great evil god Sok passed through the evil god's eye and instantly enveloped the entire city of Anlude.]
[The advent ceremony of Sokfatis has begun. 】
Chapter 49: The Sacred Doll that Seals the Divine Power
[As night falls, the starry sky is bright and mysterious, and thousands of stars burn like flames, lighting up the sky. ]
[At this quiet and heart-pounding moment, this mountain city is immersed in the embrace of darkness, permeated with a mysterious and bizarre atmosphere. ]
[Alice held up the Eye of the Evil God and recited the words on Sokfatis's contract.]
[The dark power spread out from the evil god's eye, filled with a bitter and strange breath, as if it was the breath of a demon. ]
[Suddenly, thunder and lightning crossed the sky, the wind howled, and a black lightning in the night sky broke the silence and instantly illuminated the entire Anlude City. ]
[And in this flashing lightning, a huge black shadow appeared in the sky above the city of Anlude. ]
[He is Sokfatis, the most powerful evil god in the Dawn Continent. ]
【He once fought with thunder. 】
【He fought against the day.】
【He once played games with nature. 】
[Accompanied by Alice's singing, Sokfatis's power enveloped the entire city of Anlude. He greedily sniffed the scent of life, which was the sacrifice of his beloved.]
[When the power of Sokfatis touched the first resident of Anlude City, a subtle light flashed, and the power of sacrifice was stripped away by the protection of the Dusk Saint. Under the guidance of the sacrificial doll, this power descended on the sacrificial doll.]
[Aida began to split madly, and each of its clones became a sacrifice to the evil god the moment it was born.]
[Aida's cute painting style dilutes the darkness and gloom of the evil god's arrival. 】
[With the demise of Aida's clone, Sokfatis's figure becomes more solid. ]
[All the nobles knelt down unable to resist. This is the power of God.]
【Tim watched all this, his heart was filled with ecstasy, he knelt on the ground, and devoutly offered his loyalty to Sokfatis.】
[And in this collective revelry and admiration, this evil god who had disappeared for more than a thousand years, descended again...]
