They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

These words left even Sesshomaru, who was spying on the screen, speechless.

However, he doesn't have time to chat in the group right now.

Today, he set foot on the territory of Musashi Province and is approaching Maple Village.

At the same time, it was also obvious that the closer they got to Maple Village, the more monsters there were.

However, most of them were insignificant demons who couldn't even withstand a single claw strike from him.

Of course, his personal emotions also played a part in arriving in Musashi so quickly.

“Father, I will soon receive the tooth you left behind.”

Sesshomaru's eyes gleamed as he flew rapidly toward Kaede Village.

Alice: "Brother Lingyu, this flying dragon should be able to help you, right?"

The question she was expecting.

After all, dragons are extremely rare in her world, and only Integrity Knights possess one. Therefore, while Alice hopes to heal the dragon, she also sees it as a valuable asset.

I thought Ling Yu would like it, so I sent it via red envelope.

Almost destroying the house was completely unintentional.

Ling Yu: "It's not bad for walking distance."

The dragon might be very strong in Alice's world, but it's really no match for Ling Yu.

Both in appearance and performance, it is far inferior to the Primal Ray.

Lin Qingtan: "A dragon-shaped demon beast... how powerful must it be?"

Lin Qingtan was shocked.

In her mind, any monster that had even a trace of dragon blood was extremely powerful.

Therefore, Lin Qingtan instinctively believed that the dragon Alice gave to Ling Yu was some kind of powerful dragon-blooded demon beast.

Unfortunately, the flying dragon is just called a dragon, and it is not the same species as the dragon that Qingtan knows.

Even with Alice present, Ling Yu couldn't say that Fei Long was weak.

That would be too hurtful to the little girl.

Alice: "As long as it works."

Little Fairy Doctor: "Alice has now successfully violated the Taboo Index, and now she just has to wait to be sent to the Axiom Church."

Little Fairy Doctor: "I wonder when they will come to pick them up."

Ling Yu: "Based on the development of the plot, it should happen around noon tomorrow."

Ling Yu: "So, little Alice, you can say goodbye to your family beforehand, since you won't be able to see them for quite some time."

Little Fairy Doctor: "Don't feel burdened. Just think of it as going out to learn a skill. You'll come back when you've mastered it."

Alice: "Okay."

Seeing Ling Yu and Little Fairy Doctor's comforting words, Alice felt a warmth in her heart.

She decided to talk to her father first.

Because her family was the most heartbroken after she left.

Although she knew she would be fine, in the eyes of outsiders, she had violated the taboo list and was taken away to be executed.

So it's good to talk to her father beforehand, so that at least her family won't be overly saddened.

This night

The village of Lutley was destined for unrest.

Knowing that Alice had violated the Taboo Index, none of the Zuberuk family members, except for the youngest sister, went to sleep.

Village chief Casfert Ziberuk was in a heavy mood.

Although Alice told them that going to the Axiom Church would not result in execution, but rather becoming an Integrity Knight, they clearly did not believe her.

It's more like an excuse Alice gave to comfort them.

In the Zuberg couple's view, Integrity Knights are the embodiment of justice and strength, and it is simply impossible for someone who violates the Taboo Index to become an Integrity Knight!

Otherwise, what face would the Congregational Church have left to exist?

Alice didn't offer much explanation for her parents' questions, only saying that she needed to prepare breakfast for them the next day.

So even late at night, the Ziberluku family's house was always brightly lit.

They weren't going to sleep; they wanted to spend one last night with their daughter.

However, in the middle of the night, Alice heard knocking on the window.

She peeked out and spotted Eugeo and Kirito in the bushes.

"This is what you are doing?"

Alice opened the window and looked at her two friends with a puzzled expression.

"Alice, you should leave tonight."

"This village is no longer safe," Kirito said seriously.

Alice was taken aback.

He immediately smiled gently and said, "It's very impolite to come to a girl's house in the middle of the night."

"Alice, now is not the time to talk about this. Before dawn, go as far as you can. Eugeo and I have already prepared the supplies for you."

As he spoke, Kirito adjusted the backpack in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Alice shook her head: "There's no rush. I just made a new cake. Can you help me taste it and see how it is?"

Kirito and Eugeo were taken aback.

"Even if you're leaving, surely you have time to eat a piece of cake?" Alice said again when the two didn't move.

Seeing this, the two nodded.

Just as they were about to climb out the window, Alice rolled her eyes.

"I'm right here, isn't it better to use the main gate?"

These words left Kirito and Eugeo somewhat embarrassed.

however

Once inside, things got even more awkward.

Because they saw that Alice's parents were there, and their eyes were fixed on Kirito and Eugeo.

"Please have a seat, the cake will be ready soon." Alice, oblivious to anything amiss, said this to Kirito and then went back to the kitchen to continue working.

"Uncle, hello Uncle and Aunt."

Eugeo and Kirito exchanged a glance, then awkwardly greeted Alice's parents.

Village chief Casfert Ziberuk didn't say much, just nodded and pointed to the side: "Sit down."

So, Kirito and Eugeo, feeling extremely uncomfortable, sat down next to Casford Zuberg.

"You want to take Alice away?"

The village chief, who had always maintained a serious and unsmiling expression, finally spoke.

However, this one sentence made both of them jump to their throats.

In the end, Kirito was the first to show a courage beyond his years.

"Uncle, do you think there's any hope for Alice if she stays here?"

Casford remained silent.

As the village chief, he naturally didn't want to protect those who violated the taboo list, but he was also Alice's father.

In the original story, Alice had no choice but to put the Integrity Knights in her way because the Integrity Knights had already appeared before her and there was no way to avoid them. In addition, she had to fulfill her duty as the village chief.

“It’s no use. No one can escape the pursuit of the Integrity Knights,” Casford Zuberuk said, shaking his head.

The so-called Integrity Knights are not only guardians of the High Priest, but also practitioners of the Taboo Index. Anyone who violates it will be taken away.

Having served as village chief for over 30 years, he had never heard of anyone taken away by the Integrity Knights ever reappearing in the world.

"We'll only know if it works or not after we try it!" Kirito shouted.

"Kirito..."

Eugeo stared blankly at Kirito.

So he gritted his teeth, stood up, and faced the village chief directly.

"Village Chief, I think Kirito is right. We'll only know if we try!"

"try what?"

The sound came from behind.

The four people inside looked over and saw Alice carrying out a steaming hot cake, looking at them with a puzzled expression.

"Alright, enough talk, come and try my cooking."

"Father, please have some too. Consider it an early celebration of my twelfth birthday."

Upon hearing this, Casfert Ziberuk looked at his innocent and kind daughter, his pupils dilated for a moment, and finally he sighed.

Pick up a piece of cake and put it in your mouth.

"Is it good?" Alice asked.

"good to eat."

Casfert Ziberuk spoke in a hoarse voice.

“I made a lot more. I’ll give some to Seruka to try tomorrow. After all, I’ll be away from her for a long time. I hope she won’t complain about me as her older sister.”

As she spoke, a look of melancholy appeared on Alice's face.

Village chief Casford opened his mouth, but after a long while, he managed to utter a single word.

"it is good."

Alice smiled gently after receiving the reply, then turned her gaze to Eugeo.

"Kirito, Eugeo, let's go to the back room to talk. I have something to tell you."

She hadn't forgotten what Ling Yu had said about Eugeo's death.

So she wanted to take advantage of the time to properly warn this blockhead not to act impulsively.

Chapter 47 Kirito, Eugeo, I Didn't Lie

Seeing this, Kirito and Eugeo exchanged a glance and followed Alice into the inner room.

The moment the door closed, Alice's father, Casford, couldn't help but sigh.

He desperately wanted to save his daughter, but those were taboo books and the Axiom Church—how could a mere village chief from a remote place like him defy them?

If he truly resists, the hammer of judgment will mercilessly fall upon the entire village of Rutley.

In the back room

Alice, abandoning her usual gentle demeanor, pointed very seriously to the two chairs.

"sit down."

Kirito and Eugeo dared not refuse and quickly sat down on the chairs, just like children being scolded.

Seeing that the two were seated, Alice spoke up: "Do you remember the Integrity Knight we met in the End Mountains who defeated the Dark Empire's Dragon Knight?"

Alice's words stirred the thoughts of both of them.

Eugeo nodded nervously.

That battle had a tremendous impact on his young mind, and it was also the first time in his life that he had seen living Integrity Knights and dragons.

However, before he could recall the scene, Alice's next words sent a shiver down his spine.
