Shen Sui watched the entire process carefully.

Don't say it.

Really, don't say it.

This matter really can't be blamed on Alice from start to finish.

The injury to that guy was purely self-inflicted.

Although there had been rumors about the Pope election, the sudden announcement to re-elect the Pope still caught many by surprise.

Alice was disguised and wasn't the real Adoma, so she was quite insecure.

But others were insecure too.

Adoma made a trip to Elm City, acted as the Daylight Saintess to bring back the Divine Artifact, and on the way back, even captured a spy planted by the War God Church in Andrew City, becoming quite the sensation.

Moreover, Adoma was nominated by the Dragon God Sect. Before the Dragon God fully recovers, they are still members of the Master of Thunder Church, and with the Dragon Knight, a top-tier combat unit in the Fantasy World, the strength of the Dragon God Sect is no joke.

Therefore, as soon as it was announced that "Adoma" became a Pope candidate, countless eyes were fixed on Alice.

After all, Alice wasn't a professional, so it was impossible for her to constantly keep others from tracking and monitoring her.

As a result, her interactions with the Princess Catherine soon became known to others.

You've already got the support of the Dragon God Sect, and yet you're still not satisfied? How outrageous!

One must act first to gain the upper hand.

Then, that person stealthily snuck into Alice's secret room where she made puppets, and tragedy ensued.

[A massive explosion echoed throughout Roland City.]

[People felt the ground shake, and scarlet flames ignited the sky as if the air itself was being scorched.]

[The violent explosion directly paralyzed the Thunder Church's defense array, leaving the magic elements within hundreds of miles completely void, and the mages in this area fell into a state of elemental suffocation.]

[At the center of the explosion, the whole building collapsed.]

[All that was left in place was a huge empty hole.]

[Ding! You received an Event Card: The Great Explosion of Roland City]

[Ding! You received a Spell Card: Puppet Self-Destruct Switch]

[Ding! You received a Permanent Spell Card: Elemental Suffocation]

....

This explosion caused Shen Sui's long-dormant dueling device to go crazy with notification of obtaining Life Cards.

[Alice looked at the ruins in front of her with tears of frustration, this was the result of her working late into the night for several days!]

You clearly know how to make so many types of puppets, why did you work day and night to make only self-destructive puppets!

The poor sod, as soon as they entered your secret room, they directly triggered the puppet's self-destruct switch.

These self-destructive puppets, even taking out one would be slightly challenging for an eighth-tier mage, but the problem was that this was nearly a hundred self-destructive puppets!

Alice was happily milking the Master of Thunder Church dry with her stamp, unconsciously making so many.

And she used all top-tier materials.

Each of these puppets had carefully inscribed Forbidden Demon Runes by Alice, and the explosion occurred in the church's training room, a confined space with anti-interference functions.

At the moment all the puppets exploded, the entire secret room became a forbidden zone where magic couldn't be used.

So this unfortunate thirteenth-tier mage was blown into a stupor.

Good thing he was a strong thirteenth-tier; if he were any weaker, he wouldn't have been able to be wholly carried out from the residual hole of the explosion.

But even so, he's crippled for the rest of his life.

[Alice faced the church's inquiry.]

[Alice righteously declared that these self-destructive puppets were all made in preparation for the future war against Daylight. She never imagined that someone inside the church would covet her strength like this.]

This was a lie.

Alice made so many self-destructive puppets with the thought of one day blowing up the Master of Thunder's church.

But she wasn't ready yet, and someone already helped her achieve it.

Therefore, Alice unceremoniously started throwing the blame around.

[Investigators inquired about the source of Alice's materials for manufacturing.]

[Alice promptly produced a variety of receipts for the materials.]

["This stamp...."] the investigator stared at the stamp on the reimbursement sheet laid by Alice, suspiciously asked.

["Is there a problem?" Alice countered haughtily.]

[The investigator fell into a brief silence.]

[Within the church, incidents like this aren't rare. If they reveal Lord Adoma's fraud here, it might implicate a large number of people.]

[Some matters are best left uninvestigated.]

[What if something really is found out?]

["No problem whatsoever! The procedures are entirely in order."]

["Oh, by the way."] Alice looked at the investigator, rubbing her fingers and said, "This compensation..."]

["What compensation?"]

["All my puppets were destroyed, shouldn't there be compensation?" Alice frowned, speaking sternly.]

["But... it was because of your puppets that the church's building was blown away, causing countless losses within hundreds of miles...."]

["What does that have to do with me?" Alice countered righteously, "I didn't trigger the puppets' self-destruct! None of these things fall on me. Instead, I suffered such great loss, surely there should be some compensation, right? If others get compensated for property lost to the explosion, shouldn't I, as the Archbishop of Roland City, also get compensation for such human-induced losses on my property?"]

[Alice made her case, finally persuading the church to compensate her for the losses of her puppets.]
