As soon as he moved his right hand, he was about to use space vibration, but he suddenly realized that the player's strength was greatly reduced in this game. If you kill these soldiers, you will become hostile to the entire country.

He took half a step back, trying to dodge, but the soldiers were unyielding, and several spears stabbed straight at him.

 “Bang Dang—!”

A sharp sound came, and long black hair flew in front of his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the girl's figure fell from the wall and stood in front of Su Ming'an. She held a long sword and knocked away the soldier's gun neatly.

Su Mingan has a sense of changes in the world. In the past few years, he had been leading her, but now it was her turn to protect him.

In front of me, the girl has grown to 1.65 meters, her face is gradually opening, her skin is not delicate due to long-term exposure to wind and sun, but her pair of purple eyes are still beautiful and eye-catching. Her delicate sword pressed against the armor on the soldier's chest, and the soldier shivered.

"Soldiers, I remember that the curfew prohibits killing civilians. Who allows you to be so majestic and to kill people as soon as you come up?" Her voice has passed the voice-changing period, and is clear and loud.

"Lord Tasliche, spare your life! We didn't know he was your friend, we, we thought..." The soldiers immediately knelt down and begged the girl for mercy, as if she were some kind of savage beast.

"You think he is just a civilian, and that even if you kill him, he will have nowhere to redress his grievances - do you?" Alice said coldly: "The war breeds pests like you who destroy, loot, and burn, and send you to the governor's army. You are all being given an advantage here! You are a pest that cannot be eradicated no matter how hard you punish it!"

The tip of her sword was pointed forward, and the soldiers turned pale with fright, and they repeatedly begged loudly for mercy.

“Go and find Knight Wendell to get your punishment!” Alice kicked the soldier’s iron helmet.

 The soldiers rolled and crawled away.

Su Mingan looked at this scene in surprise. After just one year, Alice turned into such an independent and decisive person. It seems that the approaching war this year has brought her a lot of pain.

 Alice sheathed her sword, and the scabbard made a "click" sound. She slid forward, turned around, and already had the temperament of a swordsman in her movements.

The dim light shone on her face, and Su Mingan saw the traces of wind and sun on her face, including a faint sunburn. There was even a ferocious sword wound on her exposed neck, and her sharp eyes reminded people of the rocks by the sea—she was obviously only fifteen years old this year.

 But at the moment when she looked at Su Mingan, Alice's sword energy shrank in an instant, and the sharpness in her eyes disappeared.

 …

 【Alice's mood value changes: 20% (depressed) - 80% (extremely happy)】

 …

 “Sir Detective!” She rushed towards him, wanting a hug after a long separation, her temperament softened instantly. You can't see the killing intent just now.

This made Su Mingan horrified - what kind of black-hearted Yuanxiao did he cultivate?

Thinking of her soaring darkness value, Su Mingan had a vague premonition.

Su Mingan stretched out a finger and put it on her forehead to stop her hug. She is already fifteen years old, and it is no longer appropriate for her to hug him.

Alice stretched her hands forward, but obediently did not take a step forward. It was as if the finger on her forehead was an insurmountable barrier that she would not overstep.

Su Mingan felt a faint resistance. Alice's power had surpassed him.

 He glanced at her panel.

 …

“Why did the soldiers call you Lord Tasliche just now?” Su Mingan asked.

Alice blinked: "I used to go to the church with my nun sister to pray and help her clean. The bishops and priests all recognized me and gave me this name. Those soldiers were afraid of me because I and Evitina The princess has a good relationship and she appointed me an honorary knight.”

Su Mingan nodded.

This is not bad, an aristocratic name can scare some villains.

"But I... don't like this name." Alice whispered: "I still want to be Alice."

 She deliberately hid the **** sword behind her back, not wanting Su Mingan to see it.

Su Mingan asked: "Why is there blood on the windowsill at home?"

Alice lowered her head and said: "I help the Knights of the Royal City to exterminate the alien species every night. The alien species have become more and more rampant recently. Do you remember Knight Wendell? He is the blond young man who sent you the lake postcard last year. He now has to deal with the war. , there is no time to destroy the nearby alien species. The recent alien species are strong and weak. One alien species chased me into my house, so I dealt with it on the windowsill."

Su Mingan sighed secretly, this game was becoming more and more uncomfortable.

"Come in. I'm sorry, so many things have happened this year that I couldn't prepare spring cakes." Alice wiped the blood on the back of her hand.

They sat in the room for a while, and Alice told him what had happened recently. The fighting was fierce nearby, but luckily Princess Evitina was watching over her, otherwise this town would have been caught in the flames of war like the surrounding towns, which would have been horrific.

Since the town was under lockdown, Su Mingan and Alice went fishing in a nearby lake as a way to celebrate her birthday.

 “Alice.” Footsteps came from the forest, and the hunter Diff came. He is a little thinner than last year.

 “Diff? Why are you here?” Alice said.

"It's your birthday today, so I climbed over the wall and came out." Difu nodded to Su Mingan: "Detective, you are here too."

 Compared to last year, this year’s birthday seems much lonely. The nun sister Rita is missing, Josh from the fighting class is also missing, the knight Wendell is busy with the war, and the baron's Issy is protected at home by his father. Wild Child Pat appears to have joined the vigilantes. Mei Mi, a neighbor's gardener, and her family took refuge in the church.

 Only the hunter Dave, who has no fixed address, can come over to celebrate Alice's birthday. They sat by the lake and set off the fireworks in their hands. The stars splashed out one by one, lining the lake like the sky reflected in the water.

 “Sir Detective.” Alice spoke out in the silence.

"Um?"

“How about we get a pet?” Alice said, “I found a wild cat these days. If you don’t take care of it, it will die.”

 “It’s up to you.” Su Mingan said. Alice's emotions are too depressed, and keeping a pet can help adjust her mentality.

"What do you think it should be called?" Alice thought for a moment: "How about... Xiao Ai? Take the first pronunciation of my name."

 “Not appropriate.” Su Mingan suggested sincerely. A certain fox is about to jump up and cause trouble.

 “Then let’s call him Xiao Hei... No, Xiao Mo?”

"good."

Alice smiled and raised the firework stick, and the bright light came into her eyes.

She got up and ran around the lake holding the fireworks stick. The lights popped out. Su Mingan sat on the grass and watched her running quietly. The splashing sparks were like stars, falling into the lake one by one, reminding Su Mingan of a magnificent blue full moon.

"Detective sir! When the war is over, let's go see the sea together!" Alice ran to the other side of the lake and shouted.

 She had already put on a warm cotton velvet dress, and the cashmere wrapped her small cheeks. The exposed tip of her nose had a wet red scar, and the sword wound on her neck was covered up.

The fireworks illuminated her purple pupils. If the distance was close enough, Su Mingan might be able to see that what was reflected in her eyes was not the full moon, the lake, or the fireworks, but the black-haired young man sitting on the other side of the lake.

Su Mingan raised his voice to ensure that Alice on the other side could hear: "Okay!"

"It took a lot of effort to meet...a very important person in my life!" Alice rolled her hands into a roller and put them in front of her mouth: "Let's see all the seas in the future! Detective!"

 “If you have time!” Su Mingan shouted.

“We must go together! When the time comes, we will take the airship, and Diff will come too!”

 Alice seemed to deliberately not run back. She shouted to Su Mingan across the lake. Both of them were shouting at high pitched voices, going back and forth, like some kind of interesting game.

Fireworks fell into the lake one by one, and into the blue full moon reflected on the lake.

 Finally, Alice lowered her voice and whispered something, but Su Mingan couldn't hear it.

 …

 Afterwards, Su Mingan accompanied Alice to the church.

 “Can you cure black fog by buying indulgences?” People were talking in low voices.

“I have bought several indulgences, but the gods have not favored me yet. Maybe my faith is not enough…”

 The church was crowded with poor people who had taken refuge. Some people were sick and wailing on the ground. There are also people with burns and bullet marks on their bodies, but they can only wait to die. This hellish scene will only get worse outside the church.

Su Mingan saw a war similar to the medieval era for the first time. The wars in this period were extremely cruel, and a large number of people died every day, not to mention the breeding of plague.

 After entering the inner room, it became a little quieter and no more wailing was heard.

 Alice stood under the statue and prayed. As an honorary knight, she came to the church to pray every day.

 “To the loving God.”

Her expression was compassionate and gentle, and her voice was like a stream.

“As long as we do justice and show mercy, you will spread the light of happiness to the earth.”

 “May justice roll down like the mighty river, and may your mercy fall like the gentle rain.”

“I wish you would stop the war, I wish you could stop the plague, I wish you… would take care of us.”

 She sincerely hoped that the gods would bring blessings and put an end to the plague. In this era of ignorance, people can only place their hope in the gods and pray over and over again, but they have no other choice.

This is the first time Su Mingan has seen Alice pray.

 After seeing the high "Theology" and "Divinity" on her panel, Su Mingan realized that she was very good at these. But when he saw her praying, Su Mingan was still shocked by her temperament at this time.

 The fifteen-year-old girl gives people a sense of solemnity, compassion, and divinity. It was as if the moment she entered the church, she transformed from Alice to a real nun. No, she was far more shocking than a nun. He could feel her divinity that was different from ordinary people, like an angel singing a carol.

 But the moment Alice stopped praying, the familiar feeling came back, and she seemed to be Alice again.

"Detective Sir, let's go." Alice looked at him with a smile: "Everyone comes here to pray every day. Maybe one day, the gods will bring blessings?"

Su Mingan nodded. Although he knew that the **** was just a **** and didn't care about the people at all.

 But at this moment,

 The statue suddenly began to glow.

 “This…this is…?” The white-haired bishop looked shocked.

 Multiple colors shot out from the statue and fell on Alice. She stood there blankly, not knowing what was happening.

"The statue has been silent for decades, and this time it finally appeared... It's the oracle, the oracle is finally here! It turns out to be you, it turns out to be you!" The white-haired bishop put his arm around Alice's shoulders, looking like he was crying with joy. expression. The nuns were also ecstatic.

"What happened? Grandpa Bishop." Alice was confused. She was familiar with these priests and nuns, but she had never seen anything like this.

"Alice!" The bishop looked at her seriously: "Whenever the world is in a crisis that is on the verge of collapse, and God judges that mankind cannot survive the crisis, He will choose a person as a representative to help mankind overcome the crisis. This person is Called the Son of God or the Goddess, the last Son of God is said to have been hundreds of years ago, when war almost destroyed mankind. Under the guidance of the gods, the Son of God finally succeeded in stopping the war."

"You...what do you mean? But I'm just an ordinary person. I'm stupid. I can't even compare to others in swordsmanship..." Alice's face turned pale.

“—You are the goddess of this generation! Lady Tasliche!” The white-haired old man took the lead and knelt down.

Immediately afterwards, the priests and nuns who were familiar with Alice all knelt down. It seemed that at this moment, she was no longer the Alice who was cleaning with them, but the goddess Tasliche.

Under the brilliant light, everyone knelt on the ground, like puppets pulled by silk threads, fanatically admiring the girl standing under the light.

Even the bishop she revered in the past knelt in front of her just because of the ray of light from the statue.

 The girl turned back and looked at Su Ming'an blankly.

 “Detective…sir?”

Su Mingan saw Alice’s eyes—those magnificent, beautiful purple eyes.

 She seemed to be saying,

 She wants to be Alice.
