Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 306 Don't use trust to test human nature.

Axis believers can do anything if they are serious. We are the ones who can do it!

Even if we can't do it well, don't blame us. If we can't do it well, blame the world!

When facing something annoying, just run away. Running away is not a loss, but a victory!

When you hesitate, you will regret it no matter what you do. Anyway, you will regret it. Just choose the easier way now!

Don't be afraid of getting old. God doesn't know whether you will be happy in the future, so laugh now!

To be honest, if the teachings of the Axis Cult are brought to the modern world, there will definitely be countless believers. Even the mentally retarded goddess will be renamed the goddess of playing badly.

But in the other world with a strong religious atmosphere, Aqua's teachings summarized according to her own personality are not so suitable.

Apart from other things, if the peasants are playing badly, then the lord will have to starve.

This is also the reason why Aqua started preaching very early, but ultimately couldn't resist Eris.

It is precisely because of knowing the teachings of the Axis Cult that Alice can understand the urgency of the Axis Cult.

After all, after the Demon King is defeated, humans without external threats will enter an era of internal strife.

And this era no longer needs so-called heroes, so the Axis Cult that believes in the goddess of water Aqua has no necessary meaning of existence.

After all, without the Demon King's continent, the hero candidate is an unstable factor.

Therefore, if the Axis Cult wants to continue to exist, it must make changes.

It is obvious that taking a piece of territory and integrating politics and religion is a good choice.

As for why Alcanretia was not chosen, Alice also understood that in simple terms, the Axis Cult could not hold the hot spring town because the benefits were too great.

Without the rampage of the Demon King's army, the subsequent kingdom can focus on exterminating monsters and enhancing the efficiency of territory use.

In that case, Alcanretia will become more important because of the stable source of income that the hot springs can provide. In this way, the Axis Cult, which has monopolized the management rights of the hot spring town, will become very annoying.

After that, the lord can find some black material about the Axis Cult and expel it from Alcanretia.

After all, there are no normal people from top to bottom in Alcanretia, and the main person in charge is often arrested. It is not easy to expel the Axis Cult.

In addition, the nobles who control Alcanretia will definitely not be willing to give up their territory.

So what Alexia said meant that Alcanretia remained unchanged, and the Axis Cult did not intend to attack Alcanretia.

"I wonder where your church is interested?" Alice thought about it and asked tentatively.

"Axel!" Alexia did not hide anything. After all, speaking by herself meant that the target had been selected.

"It's indeed a good choice, but it's a pity that there is already a lord here." Alice shook her head immediately. After all, Alderp, who presented the artifact, left a good impression on her.

"Princess, if I say that the person who wants to assassinate you is Alderp, the lord of Axel, will you still shake your head?" Alexia asked Alice.

"What?!" Kuleiya couldn't hold back and roared this time.

"Sir Alexia, did you make a mistake?" Rain on the side also asked, after all, Alderp had presented Alice with an artifact before.

"I know that Alderp presented Her Highness with an artifact that the goddess gave to the hero candidate. It is precisely because we know that we are more certain. Your Highness doesn't know what the function of the artifact on your neck is, right?" Alexia asked Alice.

"Is it dangerous?" Alice asked calmly at this moment. After all, Alexia still needs her help to intercede, so she will naturally not let her encounter danger.

"Exchange the consciousness of the user and the wearer. That is to say, as long as Alderp comes to your Highness and says the spell to activate the artifact, your consciousness will be exchanged.

During this period, as long as one party kills the other, this consciousness exchange that was originally only short-term will become permanent, which means that Alderp intends to seize your body, Your Highness, and then give the artifact to the prince in your identity.

After that, find an opportunity to be alone to poison the king, and then take the poison himself, and exchange the body again through the artifact. At that time, he will be able to obtain the body of Your Highness and inherit the kingdom.

The above are not my random guesses, but the facts dug out from Alderp's mouth through torture after taking him down. I wonder if Your Highness thinks that the plan to usurp the country formulated by him through this artifact is feasible?" Alexia looked at Alice and asked.

"Have you taken Alderp down?" Alice did not answer directly, but changed the subject.

After all, if the function of the artifact is really as Alexia said, then the feasibility of the plan is very high. After all, the king and his father are impossible to guard against themselves.

"Of course, the goddess immediately detected the presence of a powerful demon in Lord Axel's mansion after her arrival, which means that Alderp has colluded with the demon. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have attacked a lord of a kingdom for no reason." Alexia replied calmly.

"I see!" Alice nodded.

As for whether this was true or not, it didn't matter anymore, after all, no one dared to doubt the goddess' words.

"Another point is that the goddess brought a hero candidate with her this time. He is currently in an adventurer team with Dustinis Ford Lalatina, and they are close teammates." Alexia continued.

"Lalatina?" Alice understood what Alexia meant when she heard the name.

Because the Dustinis family has always served and protected the royal family, that is to say, after Axel was captured by the Axis Cult, he would stand on the side of the royal family because of the Dustinis family.

In other words, the meat is rotten in the pot!

"Your Highness, the church wants me to take charge of the territory for a period of time. When the hero who defeats the Demon King is born, no matter who he is, whether he is the messenger of the Axis Church or not, he will take over the position of the lord and the archbishop.

Of course, if you want to defeat the Demon King, you must rely on the power of the Goddess, so the hero who can defeat the Demon King must be between the two candidates, so I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a reward in advance. After all, you have to give the two candidates enough motivation. What do you think?" Alexia looked at Alice and asked.

"Sir Alexia, I can’t give you any answer for the time being. After all, this matter needs my father to decide, but I promise to reply to you as soon as possible." Alice shook her head and said.

If it was just a title, she could agree to it now. After all, Alexia had saved the royal family by exposing Alderp’s plan, and this favor must be expressed.

But when it comes to the territory, it’s not something she can solve by just acting like a spoiled child.

"It's okay. It's rare for Her Majesty the Goddess to come to the lower world. She won't get bored so quickly. Don't worry about Axel. Alderp is currently under our control. There will be no problems in the territory." Alexia's answer was still very tough.

Hearing Alexia's words, Alice knew that Alexia was reminding her not to let the kingdom send any custodial officials. After all, Axel was saved after the goddess personally expelled the great devil. It's impossible to let Her Majesty the Goddess work in vain.

"I understand. Is there anything else?" Alice was going to see her off.

"There is one last thing to do before leaving." Alexia said, while taking out two scrolls from her loose priest's clothes.

"Sir Alexia, do you know what this is?" Alice asked curiously, looking at the two scrolls that Alexia took out.

"Your Highness, let your two close ministers come over. I want to take measures to prevent the news from leaking before I leave." Alexia said to Alice.

"My Lady Alexia, I trust Kureya and Rain very much." Alice shook her head and refused.

"My Lady Princess, don't use the so-called trust to test human nature. The news of the goddess's coming cannot be blocked, but I hope that it will not be spread to the Demon King's army before Her Majesty is ready. After all, everyone will be very uncomfortable if something unexpected happens.

In addition, the artifact I just mentioned is also very important. In fact, the hero candidate wanted to use the artifact to constantly change his body to achieve another kind of immortality, so once the function of this artifact is leaked, it will cause bloodshed.

Originally, the best way to deal with it was to exchange it with Her Majesty the Goddess and let her take it back to the God Realm. But I guess you can't trust me, and you won't even bring this artifact when you meet Her Majesty the Goddess later, so I won't ask for it." Alexia said slowly while unfolding the scroll.

"But Your Lady Alexia, you don't plan to tell me how to activate the artifact." Alice asked Alexia.

"Although I want to say of course, unfortunately, I don't know how to activate it. The activation spell left by the goddess on the artifact is a different world language, which means that only the hero candidate can read it.

But I personally think it's good not to know, after all, this way there is double insurance, what do you think, Princess?" Alexia glanced at Yukihime when she spoke, and then returned to Alice.

"Different world language? I see, I understand!" Alice nodded.

She understood that Alexia was pointing out that if she wanted to know the spell, she had to give the hero candidate visible benefits.

In other words, if the royal family had ideas about the artifact, they would have to exchange the territory for the spell.

And with Alice nodding, Kureya and Rain also walked over in silence.

"Don't worry, this method can only prevent you from saying anything about the goddess and the artifact. If you want to express it, the magic power in your body will be dormant, and your body will be paralyzed and unable to move until the thought disappears. Now put your hand on the blank space in the center of the spell." Alexia said to the two women.

The two women who heard it did not act immediately, but looked at Alice.

The two women who did not get a response put their hands on the center of the spell with disappointment.

Alice knew the disappointment of the two women, but she could not say goodbye to Alexia's kindness.

Even if this kindness had unknown effects, Alice could only accept it.

After all, the two women would definitely be replaced later, there is no doubt about that.

As for rejecting Alexia's kindness, the secret of the artifact's function would definitely not be kept.

Why the royal family has no secrets, isn't it because the people around them can't control their mouths?

This is not to say that the close ministers of the royal family are all big mouths, but that they can't keep their family secrets.

So at this moment, Alice felt a little regretful about bringing two close ministers to this interview.

If she had known that there would be a lot of things in this interview that they should not hear, Alice would rather meet Alexia alone.

After all, Alice is not afraid of Alexia attacking her. Even though she is only 12 years old, the princess of the ancient kingdom of Belze is also a strong person who can defeat the dragon alone.

The special move he has mastered is more lethal than Megumin's explosion magic, so there is really no need to worry about safety issues.

So strictly speaking, it was Alexia who misled Alice with her sword to the night.

Of course, before meeting her, Alice did not regard Alexia as someone who could talk to her on an equal footing.

Seeing that Alice spoke to Alexia after she exuded a terrifying aura, it is not difficult to understand that the young princess recognized Alexia's strength and was willing to talk to her on an equal footing.

Of course, no matter what, the matter has become a foregone conclusion.

As the black runes passed through the skin of the two women and concentrated towards their mouths, the two women were very panicked at the moment. After all, the unknown is scary.

And the method Alexia used was the ultimate secret skill, the tongue-eradicating seal: Change!

It has to be said that Alice was also shocked by Alexia's methods.

After all, Alexia's skills are obviously different from the magic on this continent.

At this moment, Alice couldn't help but guess Alexia's identity.

Because she felt that Alexia might be the attendant of the water goddess.

After all, as far as she knew, apart from some regrettable guys, there were no elites like Alexia in the Axis Order.

That's why Alice suspected that Alexia was the follower brought by the goddess when she descended to earth.

Especially after Alexia showed her methods that were different from magic, she became even more certain of this.

On the contrary, Mitsurugi Kyouya, who was beside Alexia, felt that the scroll and the runes on the scroll seemed to have been seen under neon lights.

After all, he is a senior chuunibyou, and he has studied the mysterious side of knowledge a lot.

However, Yu Jian Xiangye didn't dare to say anything at the moment. Before he understood some of the twists and turns in Alexia's conversation, he was also afraid that Alexia would cast a sealing spell on him. ah.

After all, no one wants to have some changes in their body that are beyond their understanding, especially bad changes.

So seeing that Alexia didn't include him, Mitsurugi Kyouya breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time lowered his sense of presence.

Now is the time to take heart!
