Chapter 361 The Villain Lady Arrives 190
After a long journey, Ryan finally arrived at the residence of Saint Alice - a simple wooden house hidden deep in the forest. Outside the wooden house, a few oil lamps emitted a faint light, adding a bit of warmth and tranquility to the quiet night.
Ryan took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then gently knocked on the door of the wooden house. There was a sound of soft footsteps from inside the door, and then the wooden door slowly opened, revealing Alice's gentle but determined face.
"Ryan, why are you here?" Alice's voice was filled with surprise and curiosity. Her bright eyes seemed to be able to see through all disguises and reach Ryan's heart.
"Lady Alice, I have something important to discuss with you." Ryan bowed his head respectfully and presented his carefully prepared gift with both hands - an ancient book with golden runes inlaid on the cover, emitting a faint light. "This is an ancient book I got by chance. It records many secrets about the power of light. I think it may be helpful to you."
Alice took the book and flipped through a few pages, with a hint of surprise and appreciation in her eyes. "Ryan, your gift is very precious. The power of light is the key to our protection of this land. I have received your kindness." She said softly, her tone full of tenderness and gratitude.
Ryan felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He knew that he had successfully taken the first step and won Alice's initial trust and favor. However, he was not satisfied with this, but continued to talk to Alice in depth.
"Lady Alice, I am well aware that the Church of Light is facing unprecedented challenges. Those dark forces are ready to make moves and try to destroy our peace and tranquility. I hope to do my part to help you and the church solve your problems." Ryan's words were full of determination and courage, and his eyes sparkled with his persistence and pursuit of justice.
Alice listened to Ryan's story quietly, with admiration and trust in her eyes. "Ryan, I am deeply pleased with your courage and wisdom. The Church of Light needs people like you to protect our faith and justice. I am willing to fight alongside you and face the challenges of the future together." She said softly, her voice full of tenderness and determination.
Hearing this, Ryan was deeply moved and proud. He knew that he had found his true faith and destiny. He bowed deeply, and said in a firm and powerful voice: "Lord Alice, I am willing to serve you and contribute all my strength to the Church of Light."
Alice smiled and nodded. She gently patted Ryan's shoulder, as if giving him invisible strength and encouragement. "Ryan, I believe in you. Let's work together to protect the love and peace of this land."
The two smiled at each other, as if at this moment, all suspicions and misunderstandings had disappeared. They walked out of the cabin side by side and stepped into the forest full of mystery and hope. The moonlight shone on them, covering their figures with a layer of silver light.
In the following days, Ryan and Alice's relationship became closer. They discussed strategies to fight against the dark forces and trained believers to improve their strength. With his wisdom and courage, Ryan repeatedly made great achievements in battle and won the deep trust and respect of Alice and the believers.
However, the crisis of the Church of Light has not been resolved. The dark forces are still lurking in the dark, ready to launch new attacks at any time. Ryan knows that only by constantly improving his strength and wisdom can he better protect the peace and tranquility of this land.
So, he began to train and study harder. He not only asked Alice about the secrets of the power of light, but also studied the knowledge in those ancient books in depth, trying to find a more effective way to fight against the dark forces. Every effort he made was like lighting a bright lamp in the darkness, illuminating the way forward for the future of the Church of Light.
Alice and Ryan: The Battle of Light and Dark
As the night deepened, the moonlight passed through the treetops like a thread and sprinkled on the open space in front of the wooden house. Ryan and Alice stood side by side, and their figures intertwined in the silver light to form a moving picture. However, when Ryan turned and left, walking into the depths of the forest, the smile on Alice's face gradually faded, like a dewdrop in the morning light, quietly evaporating under the sunshine.
She gently stroked the ancient book in her hand, which was emitting a faint glow, and her eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions. Alice knew that the Church of Light was facing unprecedented challenges. The dark forces were like giant beasts lurking in the abyss, ready to devour the peace and tranquility of this land. As the saint of the Church of Light, she carried the expectations and hopes of countless believers and had to remain vigilant and firm at all times.
However, Alice felt an unprecedented fatigue and confusion at this moment. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to feel the light power in the air around her. However, when she tried to gather this power into her body, she found herself trapped in an invisible bottleneck. No matter how hard she tried, she could not break through the seemingly weak but extremely tough barrier.
"Is this my limit?" Alice muttered to herself, her voice full of reluctance and helplessness. She knew that she was about to be promoted to the realm of demigod, which was the glory and power that countless believers of light dreamed of. However, at this moment, she felt an unprecedented confusion and hesitation.
At this moment, a breeze blew, bringing the rustling of leaves in the distance and the sound of Ryan's footsteps getting farther and farther away. Alice opened her eyes and looked through the dense woods, as if she could penetrate the barriers of time and space and see the young and determined figure. A complex emotion surged in her heart, with both gratitude and admiration for Ryan, and confusion and uneasiness about his growing enthusiasm.
"Lian, what kind of person are you?" Alice said softly, her voice full of doubt and curiosity. She knew that Ryan's arrival had brought new hope and strength to the Church of Light, and his wisdom and courage had been fully demonstrated in countless battles. However, at the same time, she also felt Ryan's growing affection for her, his almost obsessive admiration and attachment, which made her feel both warm and uneasy.
Alice knew that as a saint, she must always stay sober and calm, and not be swayed by any emotion. However, facing Ryan's sincere and passionate gaze, she found it increasingly difficult to resist the temptation of emotion. She closed her eyes and tried to use the power of light to calm the waves in her heart, but the emotion was like a wildfire that could not be contained.
"Maybe I should talk to Ryan." Alice decided secretly in her heart. She knew that she couldn't go on like this. She had to find a solution to resolve the troubles and uneasiness brought about by this emotion.
