Chapter 99: Lack of security.
Of course, this is probably also the decision of the King of Midgar. After all, the church is no different from other forces. It is a behemoth spanning multiple countries. It is not a wise decision to interfere in the affairs of the church.
However, the proper attitude must be shown. After all, no matter how influential the church is, this is still the Kingdom of Midgar, and the royal family is the real ruler.
That's why Alexia is the symbolic supervisor, to put some pressure on the church so that they won't go too far.
Therefore, Alexia can actually be regarded as a test of the church by the King of Midgar to see what the attitude of the church is.
Then, we will formulate how to deal with subsequent problems based on the attitude of the church.
After looking at Alexia, Li De pretended to be silent.
After dragging on for about a minute, Li Decai reluctantly nodded, "Okay, you can go, but I won't do anything unless it's absolutely necessary. Also, don't sign me up for the Goddess Trial."
"Okay, I understand." Alexia immediately replied happily.
Although Alexia was not worried about her safety on this trip, after all, under normal circumstances, she, the second princess of the kingdom, should be safe.
But it is always better to be safe than sorry. She had previously thought that Geno would not dare to do anything to her.
But in the end, if Li De hadn't taken action, she would have been kidnapped by Geno.
After the last lesson, Alexia paid much more attention to her own safety.
So she really didn't think that the few weak knights in the Knights Templar could protect herself. If something happened, it would be too late for her to regret.
In addition, she can also convey a message to the outside world through this unexpected incident, that is, she values her temporary rumored boyfriend very much.
It was not as the outside world had previously believed, that she had just randomly found the second son of a country baron to use as a shield to reject the missing Marquis Geno.
Another thing is that having a super strong person by her side can greatly increase her sense of security.
The situation would be completely different for her if she was protected by a super powerful person or not.
The next morning, Alexia took Reed and several other knights of the Order and set off for the holy land of Lindblum on a steam locomotive.
In fact, according to the description in the original novel, Knight Lindblom is not very far from the royal capital.
The carriage only takes four days to arrive, but if the original protagonist relies on himself to sprint, it will arrive in no time.
Yes, the Kingdom of Midgar in the original work does not have the steam locomotives like in the anime. Instead, it has a completely medieval background, and the means of transportation from one place to another is basically by horse-drawn carriage.
This is very different from the original work. Of course, when producing the animation of Xiao Ri Zi, the author's opinion will be sought if the novel sells well.
Therefore, it is possible that the author Daisuke Oizawa was consulted when the animation was produced. After all, the distance that a horse-drawn carriage can travel in four days is much different from the distance that a steam locomotive can travel in four days.
Of course, there is no need to worry about this, because Li De was riding a steam locomotive, and he was sitting in a soft sleeper VIP compartment.
If it weren't for the consideration of several knights from the Knights Templar, Alexia would even have planned to live in the same carriage with Reed.
Of course, Alexia would not miss the opportunity to spend time with Li De during the day.
As for the evening, Alexia was relatively reserved and restrained.
She didn't run to find Sid like Rose Oliana did in the original book.
On the fourth day after three nights, the train finally arrived at the holy land of Lindblum. Alexia checked into the most luxurious hotel in the holy land of Lindblum.
After that, Alexia will meet some important local people.
Unless Reed has been accepted by the royal family as Alexia's fiancé, Reed can only attend this meeting as a guard.
So the result is that Li De would not attend such social banquets.
Alexia would not ask Li De to attend as a bodyguard. After all, this kind of social banquet for greetings usually does not involve any danger.
Even if there is, Li De promised to arrive as soon as possible.
After separating from Alexia, Reed left the hotel and wandered around the street.
However, before he had walked far, Alpha's voice rang in Reed's mind.
"Shadow, I've arrived at the holy land of Lindblum. Next, I will start investigating Archbishop Durek, who has some bad rumors."
"I understand. Be careful!" Li De replied immediately.
"Don't worry, before you know the details, ordinary attacks can't hurt me at all." Alpha said immediately.
After all, after she came back, she asked someone to conduct a test to see if magic power could touch her entity when she was in elemental form.
The results were both good and bad. The bad news was that attacks with magical powers could still touch her elemental entity.
But the good news is that in order to achieve this, two prerequisites must be met. First, the magic power of the attack must be strong enough to break up the magic power condensed by Alpha, and then it must be able to accurately locate the flowing entity in order to attack, otherwise the attack will be in vain.
In other words, if any of these two points is not met, no harm can be done to Alpha.
Don't underestimate these two prerequisites. They can already prevent a large number of people in the real world from harming Alpha.
"Gamma didn't come, which means you plan to participate in the [Trial of the Goddess] in person, is that right?" Li De asked again.
"Yes, Shadow, I will attend in person. In fact, Gamma also planned to come, but now is the time when the Siyue Chamber of Commerce is expanding outward, and she really can't spare the time." Alpha explained.
"It doesn't matter. After all, the Chamber of Commerce is involved in setting up a base in the Shadow Courtyard, so we can't be careless." Li De didn't care which of the two women would participate in this [Trial of the Goddess].
Because no matter who it is, their current strength is enough to summon Aurora, and that is enough.
All that's left is to wait for the passage to the ruins to be opened, and then unseal it according to the order in the original book.
It doesn’t matter if Li De doesn’t go in person. After all, he has no intention of personally doing Aurora a favor.
As for her younger sister Claire, it was impossible for her to replace Elizabeth's attack, so naturally she didn't need Aurora's help.
Afterwards, Li De also found an opportunity to dispel her concerns about the demon possessed person.
"I'm looking forward to the time when you show your strength!" Reed encouraged Alpha.
