Fortunately, the situation is much better than Louis imagined.

Although the Church of the Abyss is still very dangerous, it is indeed becoming increasingly difficult to conceal its fatigue.

If the situation was the same as on the Giant Plains, Louis felt that he might have to play the role of Iron Grinder again, allowing the Cursed Legion to wear down the enemy by constantly resurrecting.

When he took action, he did not hold back at all.

When starting with nuclear explosion, the main idea is that all beings are equal.

No matter what arrangements you have made in that canyon, no matter how many evil god believers and abyss demons you have arranged, feel the taste of destruction first.

- Of course, how much of this is due to Louis's fear that when a battle breaks out, he won't have the opportunity to use nuclear explosions to kill everyone is another matter.

But he never expected that this explosion would create a vast sky and sea.

He joined forces with the Sword Master and actually tore open the outer shell of the demiplane.

He was indeed stunned at that time.

It's like when you go to your childhood friend's house for dinner, and he tells you that the chickens they raise are freshly slaughtered today. But when you get there, you find that there is not only poached chicken on the table, but also all kinds of big dishes that are only cooked in large quantities during festivals.

In short, Louis and the knife master couldn't close their mouths at that time, and their mouths were harder to suppress than AK, so they went straight up and completed the harvest.

Thinking of this, Louis couldn't help but smile again.

Alice glanced at him and said strangely, "Didn't you make an appointment with the Sword Master to spar with him after you came back? Why do I see you are so free after you came back?"

Alice was present when the sword master invited her through the communication crystal.

To be honest, she was looking forward to seeing the fight between Louis and the Sword Master, two saints, again.

The last live competition really opened her eyes.

The gains she gained from watching the game from the sidelines were more obvious than the results she gained from working behind closed doors for a month.

So much so that now that Alice heard that the two were going to have another competition, she couldn't wait.

However, after Louis returned to the capital of Rockheedle for several days, she did not see the competition she expected to see.

Before she met this irrepressible member of her group, she could barely hold it in.

But after meeting Louis directly, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Louis lazily raised his head and glanced at her, then said slowly, "You'll probably have to wait until tomorrow."

"Um?"

"The Sword Master will not return to the Imperial Capital until tomorrow. If you want to watch then, I will tell him and let you watch."

"Okay, thank you for your help then."

"You're welcome, but Captain..." Louis stepped forward and said, "I've helped you a lot during this period. How are you going to repay me?"

Alice raised her head and glanced at Louis, and said strangely: "Why, are you craving your captain's body?"

Louis: ??? What he said was very serious, okay! How come it became so vulgar when it fell into someone's mouth? "Little pervert." He muttered, "You can't say that casually, I don't want to cause a fire behind me."

Alice sneered and said, "How can it be small? Besides, if there was a fire in the back, I would probably be standing on the shore clapping my hands in joy!"

Louis pretended to wipe his tears and sighed in a low voice: "I don't know who helped someone fulfill his long-cherished wish on the Dragon Bone Grassland..."

Alice: ...

"I don't know who was desperately protecting Teacher Rogge during the battle and pointed out the real enemy to her..."

Alice: ...

"I don't know who has been chasing the Abyss Church like crazy in order to help her get revenge..."

Alice's scalp numbed by the strange tone, she raised her hands in surrender and said:

"Okay, okay, stop talking. I was wrong."

"Of course it's your fault. It can't be that I, the oppressed one, am at fault, right?!"

Alice was furious. She pointed at Louis with a trembling finger, then at herself: "I, bully you? Louis, oh Louis, you don't even care about your dignity if you're afraid of what I say."

Louis puffed out his chest and said proudly, "No, no, no, as long as I can take advantage, I don't mind being shameless."

Alice's eyebrows twitched wildly at what this guy said.

In the end, in order to avoid verbal attacks between the two sides, they were unable to continue exposing each other's shortcomings.

But in the end, perhaps she felt somewhat unwilling, and she responded with one more sentence:

"I know I was wrong. I will not target a certain little swan next time."

Louis spat and said, "You still hope to target Olivia? Don't be ridiculous. You like the broad-mindedness of the front desk lady of the Adventurer's Guild. Do you really think I don't know?"

Alice shook her finger and said, "No, no, no, to be precise, men and women are not necessary to me. Strength is what I value most."

She held the hilt of the scimitar she had been tossing around tightly as it fell, pointed the tip of the knife at Louis and said, "I'm letting you go first this time, but that doesn't mean I'll give up on catching up with you. Just because you advance first doesn't mean you can keep suppressing me."

"Very courageous, but a little reckless."

Louis smiled and retorted, "To me, those who have been surpassed by me will only be left far behind at a faster speed. The captain is worthy of being the captain. He still has the idea of ​​defeating me in this situation."

Alice snorted coldly and said stubbornly, "Then let's wait and see."

Louis said nothing.

He quite likes Alice's personality and they get along like brothers.

Perhaps this is the "Sword King Alice" chosen by Olivia in her previous life.

From the perspective of time, Alice in her previous life lived at most 18 years longer than the present time.

Being able to obtain the title of Sword King is enough to prove that the leader of his team will be close to the holy realm in the future, and may even have become a strong man in the holy realm.

The title of "King", if not used by a saint, is extremely likely to cause hostility or even be attacked by the crowd.

But Louis learned from the little swan that after Alice was awarded the title of Sword King in her previous life, almost no one tried to oppose and challenge her.

Not to mention that in this life, Alice's strength is improving at a faster rate.

He glanced subtly over the beautiful body of his leader.

With the Eye of Truth in his hand, he can see more than ordinary people.

This guy actually advanced to LV14 in a very short time. He even felt a familiar power from her.

That is the divine power called gods.

Of course, unlike the gift from the goddess of wealth, that divine power obviously came from another god.

Louis hesitated for a moment, then said, "Didn't you not believe in gods before?"

Alice smiled and said, "I still don't believe in it now."

"A gift?"

"Well, the one behind the Ruby Guard gave it to me on his own initiative. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would go to a god to beg for it?"

"If you hadn't killed that sapphire dragonet, you really would."

Alice was stunned for a moment, her eyes softened a little, and she said softly: "You are right about this. Our Ashford family has always been more extreme in handling things. The emperor couldn't do anything to us at that time.

If I really had no choice at the time, I would gladly agree even if it meant selling myself to the devil."

When Alice said this outrageous thing, it was as natural as asking Louis "Have you eaten?"

Louis scratched his head with a headache and said, "I'm suddenly glad that I helped you in time."

He could feel that Alice was not lying, so he reminded her again.

"It doesn't matter if you say this in front of me, but don't say it in front of outsiders, or I won't be able to protect you."

Alice suddenly leaned forward, approaching Louis with a sense of oppression:

"You talk as if I know the others well, that is, you..."

In fact, what she wanted to say was "It's just you..." Although she is bickering with Louis now, she is really grateful for his help to her at that time.

The only pity is that she can't kill the Church of the Abyss.

But she was not the kind of psychopath who would be angry with others even if they helped her to eliminate her enemies. She felt so happy to see those crazy people in the Abyss Church falling down like straw.

"Aren't you going back to see your brother?" Louis asked curiously when he saw Alice busying herself here again and again, as if there was endless work to do.

Alice stiffened for a moment, turned around and stared at him fiercely:

"Don't you know how to play dumb?"

"The main reason is that I don't understand why you stay with me."

It's complete nonsense to say that Louis is so pure-minded that he would not be moved at all when meeting a wild beauty like Alice.

But he really didn't take any action.

Constrained by my past and present life views, I shouldn't spend too much time with Alice after getting married.

Especially for single men and women, it will be difficult to explain at that time.

But he was sure of at least one thing, that is, Alice had no feelings towards him.

Our leader, Hu Niu, has her mind elsewhere.

He would believe you if you said she liked the knife in her hand more than Louis.

This guy is definitely not the type of person who "deifies a certain professional system".

Many professionals who switch to a certain professional system will try their best to make their system superior to other systems in various groups.

The most typical group is the spellcaster group.

Strictly speaking, melee professionals and spellcasters are two completely different development directions.

Even in modern times, the development of the air force does not mean that the army will be useless.

But when it comes to spellcasters, they rely on the beyond-visual-range attack methods they have mastered over the years to forcibly give themselves the title of mage to all melee professionals.

But the fact is, who dares to say that he is the "master" in front of Louis now?

Let’s see if Louis will beat him to death!

So now there is a voice circulating, saying that Nine Swords professionals are half spellcasters, so being strong as a Nine Sword professional is different from being strong as a melee professional.

Okay, Louis didn't want to say anything.

Let these wizards be stubborn.

After all, if he really wanted to talk about it, he still thought that the Nine Swords Professionals were the best in the world! On the contrary, Alice was a rare example of "using whoever is stronger".

When he first took office at the Eternal Blade, this guy was so "treasonous" as to say in front of everyone that "the Ruby Guard is okay", as if to say "if this profession wasn't so powerful, I wouldn't even bother to believe in God".

This attitude is actually quite dangerous.

In the Star Continent, believing in gods is actually more like a kind of ZZZQ.

Due to the particularity of the priesthood embodied in faith, the teachings of the Orthodox Church, and even the entire Orthodox Church, even if there is filth within it, still represents "good" in the big picture.

Behind the Ruby Guard is the goddess of death and magic, who can be considered a deity in the risk zone.

He is not an easy God to talk to.

But Alice dared to use her God-given profession and speak dirty words.

Wait, why is he thinking so much?

Louis pinched his brows and said, "Tell me, what happened? Why did you insist on keeping me here?"

Alice paused for a moment, and her expression finally changed: "Hurry~"

"What are you urging?"

“I was forced to get married…”

“Hahahahaha…”

Louis laughed in an unkind way.

No wonder.

Urging marriage! This is really a niche word.

Louis got engaged at the speed of light as soon as he came into this world, and he completely forgot about this matter.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this made sense.

Given Alice's family tradition, it's normal for someone to die accidentally at any time.

If you don’t get married and have children soon, it might be difficult to leave offspring.

Look at the eldest, second, and third sons of the Ashford family.

He ran abroad to become an adventurer very early.

And he is the most dangerous type of adventurer, the war hound among adventurers.

It’s quite funny to say that the oldest prince of this generation of Ashford is only 51 years old and the youngest is 29 years old.

However, they have already married and had children, and the eldest even has a granddaughter.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Alice, who is already in her twenties, was not urged to get married.

Seeing Alice's broken expression, Louis showed a devilish smile.

"You owe me another favor, Alice."

"Huh? What the hell?"

"Alice, you don't want Little Swan to know that you're urging marriage, right?"

Alice shuddered for no apparent reason.

If Little Swan knew about this, I don’t know how long he would laugh at me.

Her fists stiffened at the thought.

"Okay, okay, I'll owe you a favor, but I also have conditions."

"you say."

"Tomorrow when you fight the Sword Master, show your strength as much as possible. I want to see how big the gap is between you and me now."

"The gap is so huge, there's no need to worry about it."

"I'm not talking about pure strength, but also combat skills and martial arts level."

"Oh, that's true."

If it were just combat skills and martial arts level, the gap between Louis and Alice wasn't that big.

After all, this guy is a natural war maniac.

Louis's playing style is more like that of a commander who controls the nuclear button and the missile button.

But Alice is more accustomed to fighting hand-to-hand on the front battlefield and killing the enemy.

If it weren't for his greedy desire for knowledge, Louis didn't think he could catch up with this woman in terms of skills.

Louis ultimately failed to drive Alice out.

He has not forgotten how annoyed he was in his previous life when his family urged him to get married.

Putting himself in Alice's shoes, he was still willing to help her find a reason to avoid being urged to get married.

"Let me make it clear first, you can't sleep here tonight. I don't want to cause any trouble."

"You begged me to have sex with you and I still hesitated."

Alice spat at the shameless guy, but still agreed.

But I didn’t expect that news would suddenly come that night.

The knife master is dead.
