Chapter 412 The Villain Lady Arrives 241
Alice stood at the entrance of the magic castle, took a deep breath, and looked determined. She was wearing a simple robe with simple magic runes embroidered on it. She chose it on purpose, which was neither too revealing nor too revealing, and could show her identity as a magician. Her long hair was simply tied into a ponytail, and a few strands of hair gently fell on her forehead, adding a bit of softness and toughness to her.
She slowly walked into the castle, praying in her heart, hoping that she could gain something in this magic competition. However, she had a bigger secret in her heart - she was the saint of the Church of Light. She had to hide this identity, because once it was exposed, it would not only bring danger to herself, but also implicate the entire Church of Light.
Alice walked among the crowd, carefully observing the performances of other magicians. She saw someone performing brilliant fire magic, the flames dancing in the air, as agile as elves; someone else used water magic to create clear streams of water, which intertwined in the air into beautiful paintings. These wonderful performances made Alice secretly admire and made her more determined to show herself.
Finally, it was Alice's turn. She walked onto the stage, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to perform her magic. She chose a more hidden magic - light and shadow magic. This magic can create various light and shadow effects, which can show her magic skills without revealing her true strength.
As Alice's gestures changed, various scenes of light and shadow began to appear on the stage. The light and shadow jumped and spun on the stage, as if they had life. The audience was attracted by this wonderful scene and exclaimed in amazement. Alice was secretly proud of herself, knowing that her performance had successfully attracted everyone's attention.
However, just as she was about to finish her performance, a sudden change broke the peace. A magician in a black robe suddenly rushed onto the stage, holding a staff that flashed with strange light and pointed it at Alice.
"Holy Maiden of the Church of Light, your identity has been exposed!" The black-robed magician sneered. His voice echoed on the stage, causing a commotion among the audience.
Alice was shocked. She didn't expect her identity to be exposed at this time. She quickly calmed down and looked at the black-robed magician sharply, trying to find his flaws.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even know you!" Alice said loudly, trying to stay calm and not let her voice tremble.
The black-robed magician remained unmoved. He continued to sneer, "Don't think you can fool me. I am the messenger of the Dark Church, and I have been eyeing you for a long time. Today, you just follow me back obediently."
As he spoke, the black-robed magician waved his staff, preparing to attack Alice. When the audience saw this scene, they exclaimed in surprise, and the scene was in chaos.
Alice knew that she had to get out of this predicament as soon as possible. She quickly mobilized the magic power in her body to prepare for the attack of the black-robed magician. However, just as she was about to cast a spell, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the stage.
"Stop!" The man who came was Alex. He was wearing a gorgeous magic robe and holding a jeweled staff in his hand, looking majestic.
The black-robed magician's face changed slightly when he saw Alex appear. He knew that Alex's strength should not be underestimated, so he did not dare to act rashly.
"Alex, how dare you interfere in the affairs of our Dark Church?" the black-robed magician sneered.
Alex was unmoved. He looked at the black-robed magician with a firm gaze and said, "I will never allow you to hurt Alice. She is my friend and an excellent magician."
When the black-robed magician heard this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. But he also knew that he might not succeed today. So, he snorted coldly and turned around to leave.
"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Alex shouted, waving the staff in his hand and attacking the black-robed magician.
Seeing this, the black-robed magician quickly cast a magic to defend himself. The two immediately started a fierce battle on the stage. Alice stood aside, watching Alex fight with the black-robed magician to protect herself, her heart full of gratitude and admiration.
After the battle lasted for a while, Alex finally defeated the black-robed magician with his excellent magic skills and powerful strength. The black-robed magician fell to the ground, spitting blood, and obviously had lost his fighting ability.
The audience cheered when they saw this scene. They cheered for Alex's victory and were happy that Alice was able to escape.
Alex walked over to Alice and said with a smile, "It's okay, Alice. I have defeated him."
Alice looked at Alex, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. She whispered, "Thank you, Alex. If you hadn't shown up in time, I might have been in danger."
Alex smiled and shook his head, saying, "You're welcome. We are friends, and we should help each other."
Alice felt warm in her heart. She knew that she was not alone in this strange world. She still had friends like Alex and people who supported and encouraged her.
After this incident, Alice's competition continued. She walked back onto the stage and began to perform her light and shadow tricks. This time, she was more focused and more confident. The light and shadows intertwined and changed on the stage, forming beautiful pictures. The audience was deeply attracted by her performance and exclaimed in admiration.
After Alice's performance, the audience gave her a warm applause. She smiled, bowed to the audience, and then walked off the stage.
After the game, Alice and Alex returned to his castle together. The castle was quiet, with only the occasional bird song breaking the silence.
Alice sat in the living room of the castle, holding a cup of hot tea in her hands. She looked at the scenery outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She knew that her identity had attracted the attention of the Dark Church, and she had to be more cautious in the future.
Alex sat opposite her, watching her in silence, and knew what she was worried about. He said softly, "Alice, don't worry too much. I will protect you."
Alice looked up at Alex when she heard that. She saw his eyes were full of determination and courage, and a warm current surged in her heart. She whispered, "Thank you, Alex. I feel safe with you by my side."
