Chapter 529 Investigation
Alice nodded in agreement. "That's right. Classmates often know each other best. Also, we can't let go of any projects or activities that Stacey participates in at the academy. Maybe she is accumulating the power of faith in these processes."
A trace of worry flashed in Lianna's eyes. "It's just that there are many people in the Arcane Academy and we elves are outsiders there after all. We may encounter many obstacles when investigating."
Alice smiled and said confidently, "How difficult is that? We can take the token given by His Highness with us, and if we run into any trouble, we can ask for help from teachers in the academy who are on good terms with His Highness. They should be able to provide us with some convenience."
When Lianna heard this, the worry on her face immediately disappeared and she smiled: "You are really thoughtful. We must go all out this time to find out what Stacy did as soon as possible. It would be great if we can help His Highness solve this problem."
Alice looked at Lianna seriously and said earnestly, "Well, we must take it seriously. His Highness has high hopes for us. If we fail to complete the task, we will not be able to go back to see His Highness."
Lianna nodded vigorously and raised her right hand, as if she was swearing: "I swear, I will never let Her Highness Alicia down. I will never give up until I find out Staci's secret."
Alice also raised her right hand and said firmly, "Me too. This investigation must succeed, not fail."
As the stag cart moved slowly forward, raising dust all the way, Alice and Lianna continued to discuss the investigation plan in the carriage, their eyes full of determination, as if they were ready to face all challenges and were determined to uncover the secret behind the surge in Stacy's power of faith.
The spirit deer carriage slowly drove into Crescent City, and the crisp sound of bells echoed in the air.
Alice and Lianna adjusted their skirts and got out of the car gracefully.
However, the scene before them made them stand still for a moment, too shocked to speak.
The Crescent City seemed to be swept by a dream storm, and elements related to the "Cinderella" movie were everywhere.
The walls on both sides of the street are covered with colorful posters. In the posters, the half-elf girl Stacy plays the role of Ella, wearing a dreamy blue evening dress and having a sweet and charming smile.
The colorful flags fluttered in the breeze, and they were also printed with the iconic Cinderella pattern.
Various dolls are displayed in the shop windows on the street, all of which look like characters in the movie, especially Ella's doll, which is either standing or sitting, in various postures, and looks lifelike.
Not only that, both male and female elves are holding Cinderella-related dolls or accessories in their hands.
A female elf was holding a doll of Rilla, playing with it lovingly, and said to her companions, "Look at this Rilla, she is so kind and beautiful. I wish I could be like her."
Her best friend, wearing the same bracelet as Ella, smiled and responded, "Yes, this movie is really great. I have watched it several times, and I have different feelings every time I watch it."
Alice and Lianna walked on the busy street, listening to the lively discussions of the people around them, their hearts full of doubts. Who is this Rilla?
Why is it so popular in Crescent City? It can even be said that it has become a hot topic in this city.
They decided to ask passers-by.
Alice stopped an elf who was in a hurry and asked politely, "Hello, who is this Rilla you've been talking about? Why do everyone like her so much?"
The elf stopped and introduced enthusiastically, "Ella is the character played by Stacey in the movie Cinderella. This movie is very popular in our Crescent City. The theater is full every day and tickets are hard to come by. Stacey played Ella vividly and everyone was moved by her story."
Hearing this answer, Alice and Lianna looked at each other, and a hint of realization flashed in their eyes.
Perhaps, the changes in the sacred fire platform in the Stacy Moon Temple are really related to this so-called "Cinderella" movie.
Without any hesitation, they hurried towards the Crescent City Cinema.
When we arrived at the cinema, we saw a huge crowd of people at the entrance and it was very lively.
The queue for buying tickets was like a long dragon, winding and twisting.
Alice and Lianna finally squeezed to the ticket window and bought two movie tickets.
When I walked into the cinema, it was packed. As the lights dimmed, the movie began to play.
Melodious music sounded, and a warm family scene from Ella's childhood appeared on the screen.
Alice and Lianna were deeply attracted by the plot of the movie and gradually immersed in it.
When she saw that Ella's mother had passed away and she was abused by her stepmother and sisters, Alice couldn't help but frown and whispered, "This is too pitiful."
Lianna clenched her fists tightly, looking angry: "How can these people be so excessive."
As the plot develops, Ella meets the prince in the forest. The pure and beautiful feelings between the two make the two elves smile.
Alice said with emotion: "This relationship is so pure, it makes people feel warm in their hearts."
However, when the stepmother tore the dress left by Ella's mother, there was a cry of surprise in the theater, and Alice and Lianna were no exception, their eyes were full of anger.
The whole theater was in an uproar until the Moon Goddess appeared, helped Ella transform, put on a gorgeous evening dress and crystal shoes, and appeared at the ball to dance with the prince.
Alice and Lianna were also deeply shocked by this scene.
The movie ended, the lights came on, and the audience stood up, discussing the plot of the movie with great interest.
Alice and Lianna sat in their seats for a long time without getting up.
They were certain in their hearts that the huge changes in Stacy's Sacred Fire Altar were most likely due to the enthusiastic response this movie had aroused in Crescent City and even the wider area, which allowed Stacy to gain a large amount of power of faith.
After leaving the theater, Alice looked at Lianna and said seriously, "We must tell His Highness about this discovery as soon as possible. Stacy's secret may be hidden in this movie."
Lianna nodded in agreement: "That's right, without further ado, we should find a way to contact His Highness now."
Alice and Lianna stood next to the cinema, looking at the dazzling array of "Cinderella" film and television peripheral shopping mall, their eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.
The exquisiteness of the peripheral products far exceeded their imagination, from the delicate Ella dolls, to the handkerchiefs printed with movie scenes, to the tempting prizes displayed in the raffle, all of which made them unable to take their eyes away.
The two looked at each other, and Alice spoke first, with a hint of self-persuasion in her tone: "There's nothing we can do about it. We need to investigate thoroughly to be worthy of His Highness, right? After all, if we understand these surrounding areas in depth, we may be able to find key clues."
