"What are you doing standing stupidly?"

Alice was a little overwhelmed, and in the face of her father's indifferent tone, the bag that was tightly held in her hand involuntarily loosened.

The straw was unrestrained, and the moment it fell down, Alice's tiny feet were drowned.

In the face of these things that she regarded as treasures, it was as if she had no feeling at the moment.

There were tears in her eyes, but she wiped them away.

"Father, can I know why?"

"Am I not doing a good job......

Alice glanced at the young man, then tried to suppress her crying and questioned her father.

The man looked at Alice, who had a hint of heartbreak in his eyes, and wanted to frown, but he couldn't help but grin when he was involved in the swollen scars on his face.

I touched my aching cheek, and I had to buy alcohol quickly to suppress the pain.

"How can there be so many why?"

"You are my daughter, I can sell it if I want!"

"Hurry up and take her away, don't delay me to buy wine."

His last sentence was addressed to Ji Yan, and then he bypassed Alice, who was stunned, to the tavern.

Soon, there were only two people left.

Alice's eyes were filled with endless confusion, and she was abandoned by her father and sold to someone she didn't know.

Ji Yan looked at the figure that seemed to have become a little gray, and went to directly ignore her.

It would be difficult for anyone to hear such news suddenly, so let Alice slow down for a while.

Ji Yan really didn't expect a man to be so ruthless.

However, not long has passed, and Alice, who is in a state of grief, remembers that she was not only abandoned, but also sold to someone else.

She looked up at the person who had bought her, and her bright eyes seemed to have lost their brilliance.

Seeing this appearance, Ji Yan couldn't think of any words of comfort for a while.

He is not good at talking to him, and his current actions in his previous life are five years old, and the maximum death sentence is up.

Even if you want Alice to help, it's child labor.

"This ...... My lord, what should I call you? ”

Alice hesitated for a moment, and then asked Ji Yan.

After a period of silence, she quickly accepted that she had been sold.

Because in this world now, buying and selling are common, and they can often see it, and they will naturally accept it quickly.

"Puppets."

Ji Yan, who was disnamed, continued his consistent style, and casually gave a name to the puppet he manipulated.

"Wooden ...... Mr. Even? ”

"May I call you that?"

Alice was very strange about the weirdness of the name, but she didn't ask anything, but said cautiously, for fear of arousing his malice.

But when Ji Yan heard the two words of Mr. in the back, he suddenly felt a little speechless, but he didn't care about anything.

Left and right are just a name.

Seeing Ji Yan's acquiescence, Alice bowed her head and asked him again.

"Mr. Puppet, can you wait for me, I'll clean up this place and go with you."

Ji Yan saw that she pointed to the straw scattered all over the ground, and nodded.

"Thank you very much, and may you be swept away by the radiant light."

When he heard this common blessing on the mainland, he felt very strange.

Will I be swept away by the radiant light?

It's like saying that the villain will be led to heaven by an angel.

If we really meet, I won't be blown into particles by her, even if she has a good temper.

While waiting, Ji Yan's thinking diverged thousands of miles away.

Alice, on the other hand, hurriedly bent down to put away the straw, put it in a bag, and dragged it into the house.

She turned her head to look at the familiarity.

Although dilapidated, it is also her and her father's small home, which is full of memories of their lives.

Alice left most of her money under her father's bedding, leaving only a small part for herself.

This is the money from selling matches and other odd jobs.

After doing this, she went to her house, and then looked at the empty table and fell into a daze.

Did my father even sell those books?

Soon she cleaned up her depressed look and went out with a tight little face.

"Mr. Puppet, I've kept you waiting."

"Let's go."

Ji Yan said calmly, and then looked at the church in the distance that was hidden by the house.

To be honest, he has made such a big move, how can those who are hiding in the shadows not notice it yet.

Isn't Alice really important?

But it doesn't matter if it's heavy or not, now he's going to take Alice away.

Alice followed him and turned left and right, into the sewers.

This made the little girl a little uneasy, and her eyes looked at Ji Yan's back from time to time.

He didn't want to send me to be a beggar, or was it ......

Just when Alice was worried about her future, Ji Yan had already arrived at the place where the Holy See personnel were being held.

"You're waiting outside."

Ji Yan looked at the little girl's heavy face, thinking that she was still in the sadness of being sold, and his tone slowed down a lot.

Alice nodded, indicating that she would not run around.

Entering the house, this is supposed to be a repair room.

It's just that because no one has been here for a long time, it's covered with dust.

Looking at the two captives who fell into a deep sleep, Ji Yan indifferently summoned the flames.

Then they woke up and screamed at the missing piece of skin.

But this place has been arranged by Ji Yan to silence the enchantment, so Alice outside the door will not hear any sound.

"Tell me, your mission, your purpose."

"Don't you think about it!"

One of them roared angrily, but soon the pain hit him, and he couldn't help but bow down into a shrimp.

"What about you?"

Ji Yan then asked another person, but he never said a word.

When I wanted to continue burning, I suddenly remembered that I was a civilized person.

How is it more and more similar to the way of thinking in this world, using force at every turn.

"Are you still a pure follower of the Lord of Radiance?"

Hearing this, the two of them shrank sharply.

How could it be, how did he know!

"Alice is a very important sacrifice for you."

"But now I've kidnapped her."

"I'm sorry, but your ritual doesn't seem to be able to be sacrificed in a few months."

Ji Yan continued to stir up with words, while dangerous flames floated around them.

"You're delusional!"

"Sooner or later, the archbishop will find you!"

The two did not doubt the authenticity, but were just angry at the accuracy of Ji Yan's information.

How did he know?

Listening to their words, Ji Yan fell into thought.

Archbishop......

So all the people in charge of a branch of the Holy See have defected?

As the minutes passed, Ji Yan began to slowly talk, and at the same time dripped the diluted wine on them.

In a delirious situation, some useful information was finally revealed.

For example, the Holy See in the city of Voliv has become a blasphemer, and the object of the desecration is the Lord of Light.

And their task is to be optimistic about Alice, not to let her fall into death, and not to let her live too well.

Even the people around her house were hinted at.

The purpose of this was to set Alice on a predetermined trajectory, ready for the sacrifice, until the summoning of the god they now believed in.

Because that's what those people from thousands of years ago experienced.

And now they're just trying to make a copy of it.
