As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

[Angel's Fate Reversal Progress]: 5%

Is it finally here?

Roy was not surprised, but he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In the original work, the Trial of the Saint can be said to be the most important turning point in Alice's fate.

Depending on the plot line, the time when this event occurs will also vary.

If it is Charlotte and Nia's storyline, the Saint Trial will take place in the first grade.

If it is the storyline of Jon Snow and Lyanna, the Trial of the Sage will take place in the second year.

What he has been pursuing is the common thread in the original work, that is, Alice does not have any ambiguous relationship with any of the conquest targets, and ushers in the regular ending of "Angel Waltz", becoming the Destined Saint, but living a lonely life.

And in the common line, the Saint Trial happens to be at this time point.

At this point, Roy no longer worries about being beaten up by the girls of destiny, and Alice has become his caring little maid, with no grudges against her.

But the plan to help Alice become the Holy Maiden of Destiny is still full of temptation.

The Holy Lady of Destiny is second only to the Pope and above everyone else. Her status is even higher than that of the four great bishops, and she leads the Church of Holy Light.

The power of the Holy Light Church absolutely exceeds that of any other force in the Western Continent, and it can be said to be the absolute center of human supernatural power.

If we can obtain the power of the church, whether it is to protect ourselves or to help Charlotte and others deal with domestic and international crises, we will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort and with ease.

Roy glanced dissatisfiedly at the little maid serving beside him, his eyes a little dazed.

The little maid that I worked so hard to raise finally blossomed and became a saint! I finally don't have to struggle anymore and can hold onto the long-awaited big white legs!

With such a freeloader in front of him, how could he not be overwhelmed with emotion?!

That's how it should be.

But when he thought that the little maid might go to the East Continent and leave him, the joy in his heart was instantly diluted, making Roy feel a little complicated.

It was impossible for him to hand over the little maid just to get the protection of the church.

Even if Alice becomes a saint, I will try my best to keep her by my side.

If it really doesn't work, even if I have to give up my position as a saint, I can't abandon Alice.

On the other side, seeing the boy was silent for a while, Booker said patiently: "I understand your fear of the church."

It's understandable that you're making some progress against a behemoth that rules a continent.

It was remarkable that the child didn't back down at the first moment.

"But this is about the lost secret of the false king's blood, and we can't miss this opportunity. I will also do my best to provide assistance, but I suggest you reconsider..."

Roy said halfway through his words, "Actually, I have a suggestion."

"We don't have to contact the saints of the church. Can't we let our own people who we trust become saints?"

Chapter 27 Is this a maid? !

The old man was slightly startled, pinching his beard, and it took him a long time to react from his fantastic idea.

Booker was puzzled and asked, "You mean, you want to choose one of your own to participate in the Saint Candidates?"

"Roy, you may have some misunderstandings. The Saint candidate is not that easy to choose!"

The most important thing in participating in the Saint Candidates is to have a sufficiently pure Holy Light bloodline.

However, the Holy Light Church has long monopolized the Holy Light bloodline, and this alone makes it impossible to achieve.

Do you think candidates for sainthood are cabbages?

Not to mention their Western Continent, even the church itself probably has only five eligible candidates, which is even rarer than the gold-level bloodline!

"The Saint Trial will begin next month. Where are you going to find... in such a short time?!"

The old man paused.

Because Roy's eyes fell directly on the little blonde maid.

Alice herself blinked blankly, her light blue eyes filled with clear stupidity, and she was in a daze.

To be honest, Alice didn't really understand the conversation between the two, she just felt it was impressive.

The old man didn't think that the little maid in front of him, who looked cold at first glance but cute upon closer inspection, was a rare Holy Light genius.

Booker asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"

"I am sure!"

Roy snapped his fingers, full of confidence: "Alice, show the dean your skills!"

The little maid nodded seriously, then rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her fair little hand seriously.

What kind of a joke is this?!

Even though he was a high-level transcendent, Booker felt an inexplicable chill and couldn't help but want to complain loudly.

But the next moment, a halo appeared.

Holy light gushed out from the girl's white palms, illuminating the entire room into daylight.

The old man's horrified expression was overwhelmed by the pure light that came towards him, and he couldn't control himself.

After a moment, the light dissipated, Alice exhaled softly, and withdrew her hand.

Booker's beard was disheveled after being covered in holy light, but he felt more energetic and spirited because of the pure power.

Booker came to his senses and looked at Alice with a completely different look, with a hint of deep disbelief.

He suppressed his curiosity and maintained the composure of an elder. Even so, there was a faint tremor of excitement and confusion in his question.

"The Holy Light lineage's extraordinary resources and promotion rules are monopolized by the church. How did you find such a prodigy and train her to this level?"

"It's a coincidence that my family happens to have the secret manual of the Holy Light lineage." Roy laughed and made up an excuse.

"As for how I found her, I bought Alice from a human trafficker... and rescued her."

It sounds outrageous that there is a secret book of Holy Light at home, but it is not impossible.

After all, many nobles have strange things in their homes that they themselves don’t understand. Who knows what kind of weird things Rowling secretly collected in order to find the certificate of kingship.

But the reason behind it is too outrageous!

It is no exaggeration to say that if one of the slaves awakens extraordinary bloodline, the traffickers will probably worship him as an ancestor.

The probability of buying a slave transcendent is even smaller than the probability of buying a daughter of a noble family! And you just happened to buy such a talented Holy Light transcendent!

Not to mention that Alice had already reached Sequence 7 at such a young age, Booker estimated that the purity of her Holy Light power was enough to surpass most geniuses of the Church.

Even the [Holy Sister] Theresa might not have possessed such pure Holy Light at Sequence 7!

The chance of casually purchasing such a gifted Holy Light Transcendent was even more exaggerated than the probability of winning a five million jackpot!

Legend has it that the Saint Candidate is deeply blessed by the goddess and has extraordinary luck, but in Booker's opinion, Roy, who can take the Saint Candidate as his maid, is the one with real luck!

But no matter what, this is good news.

After taking a few sips of hot tea and recovering from his initial shock, the old man said excitedly, "In recent years, the church's higher-ups have become increasingly arrogant and difficult to get along with. If we can arrange for your people to infiltrate the church's upper echelons, that would certainly be much better than us trying to curry favor with other saints!"

The tone of voice completely shows that they are one of the group.

Roy didn't mind it, after all, [Sage] Booker was a non-confrontational person who only cared about the overall situation of the human world. He was also a hero who had saved the human world.

Even though he adhered to the principle of being on guard against others, Roy had already regarded the other party as a reliable ally.

"That being said, I remember that Saint candidates still need a recommender from within the church, right?"

"That's easy. I have several trustworthy friends within the church who will look after you." The old man glanced at Alice again and said with a hint of amusement, "With Alice's talent, even without my instructions, I'm sure those old guys would still rush to treat her like a treasure."

"You are quite bold, treating such a talented girl like a maid and ordering her around at will."

Booker couldn't help but complain to Roy.

Unexpectedly, before Roy could retort, the maid beside him said sullenly, "So what?"

"The master is very kind and gentle. Alice has no complaints at all."

"Did you hear that? I didn't abuse anyone."

Roy pinched Alice's little hand, with a look of boasting on his face, his mouth almost raised to the sky, leaving Booker speechless.

In short, the matter was settled. Booker went to inform his old friends in the church, and once everything was ready, he ordered them to officially go to White Harbor to participate in the Saint Candidates.

Complete the Fate-Defying Node.

Explore the secrets of the [False King].

Help Alice become a saint.

If possible, Roy also wanted to find out the cause of Rowling's death and explore the details of the church.

All of this focuses on the Saint Candidate.

If the game could progress as smoothly as it did in the original work, these problems would be solved.

By then, with the protection of Saint Alice, there will be no need to worry about cultists and demons. Just enjoy the wonderful life of living off the rich!

However, dreams are dreams, reality is reality, and the fate-defying node has never been easy. Roy has never underestimated the other saint candidates.

The Saint Trial, as the main plot in "Angel Rondo" that determines the fate of the protagonist, is already full of difficulties. Not to mention, as the original plot has been drastically changed, there is no guarantee that there will be no variables.

After Booker left, Roy and Alice calmed down and talked about this matter again.

"Alice, although the dean just said a lot, you must understand that no one can force you."

"Owner?"

Roy frowned, staring into the girl's clear eyes, and warned: "The Saint Trial is quite difficult and dangerous. If you don't want to participate, you can refuse."

"But, this matter is very important to the master, right?" Alice's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"It is important, but not as important as you."

Alice has always obeyed her.

With just one order from her master, the little maid would go through fire and water for her.

It might be a matter of course for the master and servant, but Roy didn't want to take it for granted anymore.

To him, Alice was definitely not a servant who could be easily sacrificed.

Whether it's the secret of the [False King] or the cause of Rowling's death, even if it's a fate-defying node, if it comes at the cost of Alice's pain, it's better to let them all go to hell.

Being a gigolo doesn't mean being a coward. I haven't fallen to the point where I need Alice to bear all the suffering for me.

As Roy expected, Alice insisted, "As a maid, it's only natural for me to share my master's worries."

"Then take the following words as your master's orders."

Roy stared at Alice and gently warned her, "Remember, if you really encounter danger or feel pain, you can give up at any time."

Chapter 28 Golden Dream

Facing the boy's concerned gaze, Alice felt a warmth rising in her heart.

Roy had never forced her. As a master, he always cared about An Wei and her feelings, giving her warmth far beyond what a maid could have.

But precisely because of this, Alice wants to do more to repay this warmth.

"Don't worry. No matter what happens, Alice won't give up." Alice looked back at the boy, determined and calm: "As long as it's for the master, Alice will do her best."

"Alice..."

Roy couldn't help but frown.

Silly girl, I told you not to push yourself because I’m worried that you’re working too hard.

Roy felt a little heavy-hearted when he recalled how the girl couldn't even open her mouth to dance.

As a maid under the shackles, she turned into a loyal dog and would do anything for his casual orders. This was not the Alice Roy wanted.

No matter how important the Saint Trial was, he didn't want to force Alice to bear a burden she didn't want to bear.

"I've already told you, you don't have to..."

"Don't worry, this time it's not just because of my maid's responsibility."
