Chapter 10: Alice, the Eternal Singer

Alice the Witch is the leader of the Alice faction of the Witch Order, and although she is not in line with the other faction, she is not a bad person, and she is also a brilliant bard and soothsayer.

"Yong Singer" is her title, which means that she is a traveler who transmits music, and one of the top powerhouses in the mainland.

Alice has helped many women and people in need of guidance, both explicitly and covertly, but has long been on the must-kill list in the eyes of the church, but has never been able to kill her. Unlike the leaders of the Nus, Alice is very opposed to the persecution and killing of women by the Church, and even has a deep conflict with the Church. The two major forces were still tense in the past few years, and I don't know why Alice hasn't shown up in the past few years, and even the Scholars Alliance can't find her.

But I didn't expect to be here today.

Arthur carefully looked at the woman sitting in front of him, her long lilac hair was slightly fluttering, with a maple leaf ornament and a purple hairpin on her right ear, with golden round earrings in both ears, red eyes with a hint of movement, sexy thin lips slightly pursed, and a slightly pointed chin that made the whole facial features look extremely exquisite. Dressed in a purple and white blouse, he went down the mountain and wore a narrow purple skirt with a high slit on one side. Just sitting there in silence exudes amazing charm.

"You're taking me here just to invite me to tea, so it's too much of a fuss. Arthur asked.

Alice smiled gracefully, shook her head, and whispered in an elegant voice. "Of course not, I came to you today for two main purposes. First, I want to ask you about the whereabouts of the treasure map in Yalin's hand, but apparently you don't know either. Second, I hope you can build a relationship of mutual trust with us, and we will send someone to help you. ”

Arthur frowned slightly, he felt very incredible about the olive branch thrown by Alice during this period, if Alice said this after winning the 6-nation war, he would not consider agreeing directly, but why would Alice choose to help him in his least famous period. And he's now handed over Jessica to the Niva Sect, and now he's got involved with Alice so much that he might end up being a human being inside and out.

"First of all, my father can't have a treasure map, and second, why are you helping me. ”

"I'll put aside the treasure map for now, but what your father has been hiding from you will eventually come out. There are already a lot of unions and organizations that are eyeing you, and it's only because we're moving faster that we're the first to see you. As for why you help you, of course, it's because you want to be king. ”

Arthur said lightly without any change on the surface: "You are really joking, I am just a baron, what can I do to become a king." ”

Alice stretched out her hand slightly, and a bunch of cards quietly appeared in mid-air and slowly spread out not far from Arthur, and Alice made a gesture to Arthur. "Do you believe in divination?"

There were 22 cards in the deck, and Arthur looked at the pattern behind him and sighed deeply. "I don't believe it very much. "I didn't even think about it, so I ordered one casually. That card was turned over. A young man dressed in gorgeous clothes walks on the edge of a cliff, and his eyes seem to have an ideal. He holds a rose in his left hand and a full collection of belongings in his right hand. His face is full of wit and dreams, and he is followed by a dog.

Alice explained softly, "The fool represents the beginning or the end of everything. Looking forward to all the good things, pursuing ideals, but it is also easy to lose direction. Baron, this should be your current situation, please continue. ”

Arthur looked at Alice with a calm face, this woman put more pressure on him than he did with Morgan and the fairy in the lake. He casually pointed to the last one. The card shows an old man dressed in a robe, carrying a lamp and a cane, groping his way alone in the dark.

"Hermits, lonely ones. Hide the facts, act individually, and it is clear that you have a huge secret hidden inside you. Alice chuckled softly at Arthur.

Arthur sighed, "How do I feel like I've fallen into a pit." He pointed to the front one. A star sparkles on the card, and the star shines as a woman pours water into the pool.

"The stars, representing hope, give all love, although it is in the dark night, but the stars in the sky give us the direction, under the guidance of the stars to a bright future. Baron, you still have one last chance to choose. ”

Arthur stood up and grabbed the most central card from mid-air and slowly flipped it over. He knew what it was without Alice explaining.

The card depicts the Supreme Emperor sitting on a throne, wearing a jewel-encrusted crown and holding a scepter in his hand. With gray hair but a dignified complexion, even though he is the king of a country, he is still dressed in armor and is always ready to meet challenges for the country.

"Is divination so good? You should know that although I have a holy sword, the fairy of the lake also told me that according to the prophecy I will fail. ”

Alice recovered all the tarot cards, but not the 4 cards that Arthur had drawn, and the three cards representing the Fool, the Hermit, and the Star were silently suspended in front of Arthur.

"Prophecy represents authority, divination is only a prediction of the future and the possibility cannot be compared, you just have to believe that we are really helping you. ”

Arthur took the remaining three cards into his hand. "What do you want from me, and what can you do to help me. ”

"I hope you will let me know as soon as you get information about the treasure map, and as for the rest, Margaret will follow you in the future, she is a good witch who can help you through this. ”

Arthur looked at the beautiful Alice and didn't know whether to trust her or not. "It's not good for someone in the church to come with me with a witch. ”

"You can rest assured that she is also a good magician, and there will be no problems. These 4 tarot cards represent your heart, and it can inspire and help you at critical moments. I'm sending you away, please close your eyes. ”

Arthur closed his eyes as he spoke, and suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to a remote corner not far from the royal court. Bedwell was anxiously patrolling around the main entrance, and Arthur put the four cards in his arms and hurriedly ran over. "I'm back. ”

"What are you doing, Tristan and Ranmarok are looking for you in the royal capital. Bedwell asked in a whisper.

"I just accidentally ran to the slums, and I don't want to mention the details, it's hell. The two of them should be back soon, let's go in and wait for them. Arthur feigned embarrassment. He cautiously glanced around, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, a hanging heart was relaxed.

"You go and rest first, I'm waiting for them. ”

"Okay, I'll rest first. There is a military meeting to attend tomorrow. Arthur patted Bedwell on the shoulder and walked briskly into the court.
