Chapter 302 The Villain Lady Arrives 131
As Alice finished speaking, the two of them stopped at the same time, their eyes full of anticipation and anxiety for the truth that was about to be revealed. In the morning light, the hall of the Church of Light was like a beacon, leading them through the darkness and towards the other side of hope.
Alice took a deep breath, straightened her slightly messy clothes, and tried to make her expression more solemn. She knew that she was not only returning as a fugitive, but also standing on this sacred land with the weight of the kingdom's fate. Leonardo stood silently beside her, holding the sword tightly in his hand, looking around vigilantly, providing solid support for Alice.
At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps broke the silence. Several guards in silver-white armor walked out from the shadow of the hall. Their eyes stayed on Alice and Leonardo for a moment, and then they showed surprise and confusion. One of the leading guards stepped forward and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you two? Why are you here?"
Alice took a step forward, looking at the guard firmly, her voice was soft but full of power: "I am Alice, the Saint of the Church of Light. I went out for some reason and now I am back with important information. I request to see Saint Aidan."
The guards' faces changed slightly when they heard this, and they were obviously surprised by Alice's identity. They exchanged glances quickly, and then the leading guard bowed respectfully and said, "Please wait a moment, Saint Lady. I will go and inform you immediately."
Soon, a burst of hurried footsteps came, and Saint Aidan came out in person. He was dressed in a white robe, his golden hair shone softly in the sun, and his eyes sparkled with wisdom and kindness. When Saint Aidan's eyes fell on Alice, his surprise and concern were beyond words.
"Alice, you... you're back!" Saint Aidan walked forward quickly, his tone filled with disbelief and excitement. He looked at Alice carefully, noticing her slightly haggard face and the scars on her body, and couldn't help but feel distressed.
Alice nodded gently, her eyes slightly red, her voice choked up a little: "Yes, Saint Aidan, I'm back. I bring important information about the fate of the kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Saint Aidan's expression became solemn. He gently held Alice's hand, feeling the coolness and trembling from her fingertips, and his heart became more determined to do everything for her and the kingdom. "Come in, follow me in and tell me everything in detail."
The two walked into the hall side by side, while Leonardo waited outside to prevent any accidents. In the hall, the candlelight flickered, and the air was filled with a faint scent of incense, which made people feel an inexplicable tranquility and peace. Alice and Saint Aidan sat at a long table, and Alice began to slowly tell her own experience, from the hardships of escaping to the determination to expose the rebels' conspiracy, every detail was full of thrilling and touching.
Saint Aidan listened quietly, frowning sometimes and nodding in agreement sometimes. When Alice mentioned the innocent victims and the crisis facing the kingdom, Saint Aidan's eyes flashed with anger and determination. "Alice, you are right. The Church of Light will never sit idly by. We must take action to expose the rebels' conspiracy and save the kingdom from danger."
Alice felt a warm current in her heart when she heard this. She knew that she was not fighting alone, and the Church of Light would be her strongest support. She continued, "Son Aidan, I also brought a companion with me on this trip. His name is Leonardo. He was once a member of the Kingdom Knights, but was expelled from the team due to a misunderstanding. He is willing to help us fight the rebels together."
Upon hearing this, Saint Aidan's eyes flashed with approval. "Leonardo, welcome. At this critical moment, anyone who is willing to fight for the kingdom is our hero. Please come in, and let us discuss countermeasures together."
Leonardo was invited into the hall. He stood in front of Alice and Saint Aidan, and his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of belonging and mission. The three of them sat around a table and began to discuss in detail how to expose the conspiracy of the rebels, how to mobilize the power of the Church of Light, and how to unite other loyal forces to fight against the rebels.
Time passed quietly in the tense and heated discussion, and the sky outside the window turned from bright to dark. However, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more enthusiastic and determined. Alice, Aidan and Leonardo, the three of them were closely connected, and together they drew a blueprint of hope for the future of the kingdom.
Finally, a careful plan gradually took shape under their efforts. Alice will serve as an envoy of the Church of Light, going to various places to collect evidence and expose the crimes of the rebels; Leonardo will be responsible for contacting old subordinates and forming a loyal army to prepare for the upcoming battle; and the Son of Aidan will stay in the Church of Light and mobilize all available resources to provide support and protection for the front line.
When the plan was finalized, the three smiled at each other, their eyes flashing with infinite vision and firm belief for the future. They knew that this road would be full of thorns and dangers, but they believed that as long as there was light in their hearts, nothing could be overcome.
As night fell, Alice and Leonardo prepared to leave the Church of Light and head to their respective battlefields. As they parted, Saint Aidan held their hands tightly and said earnestly: "Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, the Church of Light will always be your strongest backing. May the God of Light bless you and return safely."
Alice and Leonardo nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with gratitude and strength. They turned and walked into the night, embarking on their own journeys. Although the road ahead was unknown and full of challenges, they knew that as long as they had hope and faith in their hearts, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
A few months passed like a flash, Alice and Leonardo have each embarked on their own journeys, and in this vast continent, another legend is quietly brewing. Tariq, the partner who once fought side by side with Alice, has grown into a famous ranger after going through hardships. His name is as bright as a star, and is sung in major towns and has become a good story for people to talk about after dinner.
Taric is dressed in a tight black robe, with a variety of weapons and accessories hanging around his waist, each of which has witnessed his countless life-and-death battles. His eyes are deeper, as if he can see into people's hearts, and there is often an unruly smile on the corner of his mouth, which is the indifference to past challenges and the expectation of unlimited possibilities in the future. Around him, there are a group of like-minded partners - loyal warriors, wise mages, agile thieves, and several confidantes. They are not only beautiful, but also have their own merits, adding countless colors to Taric's team.
On this day, Tariq stood at the foot of the Church of Light, looking up at the towering temple, with mixed emotions in his heart. After several years of adventure, he had a deeper understanding of Alice's mission and sacrifice. He decided that it was time to come back to help her, and use his own power to let Alice's light illuminate the entire continent.
