If we set aside the fact that the Master of the Deep Sea was blasted out by Alice, Shen Sui was still very pleased with Alice's performance this ti.
She was finally no longer a weak little girl who needed his protection to survive on the Dawn Continent.
In fact, as a seventh-level Mage, she had almost stepped into the midstream of the entire Extraordinary world.
Even without Anna, the abilities Alice displayed in this battle were enough to handle ordinary minor situations.
However, to be honest, Shen Sui still held a sliver of doubt about whether Alice could ever encounter minor situations.
Since the mont this fellow entered into a pact with him, she has always been involved in only grand affairs, stunningly impressive.
However, Shen Sui was sowhat surprised to find that after this event, Alice beca even more eager to grow stronger.
"Alice formulated a very detailed training plan based on the cultivation thodologies you once laid out for her."
"In the battle with the Master of the Deep Sea, Alice felt as though she finally possessed a small bit of power to change the world."
"Thoughts once buried deep in her heart began to surface with her growing strength."
"Standing by the seaside, Alice gazed at the azure sky and sea, mories flowing like a stream, countercurrent."
"She vaguely rembered that sumr when she was six, walking on the moss-covered cobblestone paths of Andrew City, running towards the Master of Thunder's cathedral amid the crowd."
"It was a sumr, the air scorching to the point of suffocation."
"Alice rembered this morable suffocating feeling vividly, accompanied by the stench of the decaying sewer in the residential area and the buzzing of insects by her ears, becoming her deepest mory of her sixth year."
"That day, Alice stood on the square, looking up at the Priest holding the staff high."
"And in front of him, kneeling on the ground, were her parents."
"They were being judged."
"Charged with the cri of heresy."
"Six-year-old Alice simply couldn't understand why her parents were labeled heretics just because they wanted to reclaim the food for their ho."
"In fact, they only wished to reclaim the food to feed Alice."
"Alice stood there, watching the people light the fire."
"Watching her parents struggle in the flas."
"The blaze, at that mont, was cruel and painful."
"Alice's eyes reflected the fla, but she neither cried nor made a fuss, not even showing any expression."
"A pair of warm hands covered her eyes from behind."
"'This scene, isn't sothing a child should see.' A gentle female voice ca through."
"'My mom and dad are what's burning above,' Alice vaguely rembered answering then."
"'Ah, sorry.'
Alice shook her head.
"'Aren't you sad?'
"'I've already been sad.' Alice raised her head, looking at the woman behind her, recalled vividly the woman's fiery red hair, 'Mom taught that one shouldn't be sad about the sa thing twice.'
"'Maybe there's still hope for them, need my help?'
"'No hope left.' Alice replied firmly, 'When mom and dad were put on that trial pedestal, they were already dead.'
"'Ah… indeed, already dead. Even if saved, they'd still eventually die…' The woman placed her warm hand on Alice's head, 'So, did you co today to say farewell to them?'
"'I'm here to survey the terrain.' Alice said seriously, 'I took a lot of gunpowder from Anna's house. I plan to sneak it into the church when no one is looking.'
"'But this is the Master of Thunder's church, there are many incredibly terrifying Extraordinaries inside.'
Alice took out the Thunder Badge hanging around her neck: 'I'm just a six-year-old child, and I'm the Master of Thunder's most faithful follower.'"
"'Do you believe in the Master of Thunder?'
"'I believe in justice and judgnt.' Alice put down the badge.
"'This thing seems very interesting, can I join?'
"'No.' Alice decisively refused, 'Your chest is too big, it will attract others' attention.'
The woman laughed, laughing happily.
"'Such an interesting little girl.' The woman extended her hand, engraving a sunset pattern deep within Alice's eyes, 'Consider it a gift from .'
"Alice was silent.
"'Aren't you going to ask what it's useful for?'
"'Seems pretty useless,' Alice evaluated.
"'Ah… indeed not much, after all, it seems my shadow here doesn't possess much power either,' she spread her hands; saying, 'Perhaps in the future, it might present you a great opportunity, if that person truly gets attracted here, and he still loves to play cards…'
It was Vivian!
It must have been Vivian!
This is probably a Candlelight Illusion Vivian left on the Dawn Continent.
Shen Sui's pupils suddenly shrank upon reading these words, and he could no longer contain himself, entering text.
"'And then?' you asked.
"'Ah!' Alice, who was lost in her mories, was startled by your sudden appearance.
"'And then?'
"'What then?' Alice asked puzzledly.
"'The woman in your mory.'
"Alice tilted her head: 'Huh? You can see my mories?'
"'Not really, but when you think about weird stuff, I can sense it.'
Shen Sui didn't lie or conceal anything, he could deceive Alice into thinking he was severely injured by acting, but in matters like these, he didn't want to deceive Alice.
Ah…
Perhaps unwittingly, there really was so bond between the two.
"'Alice crossed her arms, startled: 'I was really just thinking casually! It's not that I genuinely want you to betray Miss Vivian with your body!'
'What the heck are you thinking?!'
'Just thinking that you might have a little sothing with Qishala, Freymia and them…' Alice lowered her head, poking ceaselessly with her forefingers.
???
This fellow, what is she filled with in her head?
"'Alice didn't feel overly reluctant about you probing her inner thoughts, in her understanding, with you inhabiting her body, it's inevitable you'd get influenced by her haphazard thinking, hearing so random ntal activities is also normal.'
'Alice decided, henceforth she wouldn't think about those odd things anymore.'
Right.
"'Need to hurry and realize it, so Claude can have a real body. This way, Claude can't attach himself to , and I won't have to worry about my inner thoughts being overheard.'
Shen Sui was bewildered.
Your train of thought…
Watching on the side, Freymia was bent over with laughter.
'Hahaha! Little Alice is really interesting indeed!'
