[Three Sacred Artifacts of Dawn: Dawn Staff, Book of Dawn, Dawn Crystal.]

[Lobelia looked at the three Dawn Sacred Artifacts that Alice placed on the table and fell into a long silence.]

["Is it these three?" Alice tilted her head, looking at Lobelia with a hint of anticipation.]

[Lobelia finally regained the ability to speak but still couldn't truly answer Alice: "I don't know, I have only seen their names in legends. These three Sacred Artifacts only appear at the coming of dawn. How did you obtain them?"]

[Alice gave a confident smile, raised her thumb and pointed to herself, and said confidently, "Isn't it possible that I am the messenger of dawn, and my arrival symbolizes the coming of dawn!"]

[Ding! You have acquired a Spell Card: Arrival of Dawn]

Wait, what?

Why would Alice say something like this and trigger such a Spell Card?

Shen Sui immediately thought of the conditions needed for the dueling device to produce a Life Card.

What the heck! Does this count as a disguised accreditation?

My goodness, could it be that my Alice is a genius?

While Shen Sui was doubtful, Lobelia expressed her disdain for Alice's confidence.

["Your build is as weak as a bean sprout, going to the giants would be like delivering yourself on a plate." Lobelia muttered.]

["I don't care. If the Twilight Bishop can be the king of the Giant Race, why can't I, Alice?" Alice said with her hands on her hips, prepared to rely on Claude if necessary, "I'll take a look at the Northern Lands when I get the chance."]

[She planned to persuade some giants to help bolster the Twilight Legion's ranks.]

Ugh.

Shen Sui looked at Alice's thoughts and felt that this little girl's idea was unexpectedly feasible.

Moreover, if everything went as Alice planned, the Twilight Legion's high-level power wouldn't be inferior to any major church's high-level power in this world.

If all goes smoothly, it will become a terrifying force capable of influencing the entire Dawn Continent's dynamics.

"Has Alice unknowingly already gained such influence?" Shen Sui pondered.

In such a short time, Alice has already become an entity that can influence the continent's dynamics, and her plans and ideas no longer only affect a single city.

What's even more terrifying is that this little one hasn't even completed the coming-of-age ceremony yet...

"Speaking of which." Lying on the bed giving Shen Sui a lap pillow, Freymia suddenly said, "Alice should be coming of age soon, right?"

"Has it been that long already?" Shen Sui was startled.

When he first met Alice, she was only sixteen, and now she's approaching her eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony?

Then he thought that perhaps the time difference between two worlds had confused him.

In reality, only a few months had passed, but two whole years had truly passed on the Dawn Continent.

Otherwise, even someone as hardworking as Alice couldn't have accomplished so many things.

Fortunately, Alice is already an extraordinary individual now, and with Shen Sui's help in the future, obtaining a long lifespan won't be difficult, so Shen Sui doesn't need to worry about the problem of his adopted child aging and dying before him.

"So it's been two years already? When I think about it this way, it's not exaggerated at all." Shen Sui suddenly understood Alice's rapid growth.

Is this growth speed really exaggerated?

Please, this doesn't even meet the basic standards of a typical passing protagonist from a shallow novel.

Look at them; they can dominate the whole world within a year in the story.

Alice's two years of effort has only gotten her to the eighth tier, she hasn't really worked hard at all!

Shen Sui grumbled inwardly but also started considering Alice's coming-of-age ceremony following Freymia's suggestion.

On the Dawn Continent, children—whether Human Race, Dragon Race, Elf Race, or Sea Race—hold a coming-of-age ceremony hosted by their parents to declare their adulthood once they reach the age of maturity.

This is a very important ceremony on the Dawn Continent, one of the most significant moments in a child's life.

"Alice's coming-of-age ceremony..." Shen Sui contemplated, "What gift should I give?"

"Ah, it's truly a troubling matter." Freymia clutched her head and collapsed, "I threw everything away when I came here, maybe I should have Aina prepare something for me."

Qishala thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give her a bottle of Dragon Blood."

Martina, lounging on the sofa watching TV, listened to the conversation and thought for a bit, summoning her bubbles.

Countless bubbles shimmered before her, and Martina blinked and began to carefully select.

"Does the mistress know about this?" Qishala softly reminded Shen Sui.

Shen Sui remembered what Vivian had mentioned earlier.

She planned to personally give Alice a bracelet.

Turns out, she had been planning this early on.

Seems like I was being slow.

Shen Sui laughed bitterly in his heart.

"As for the gift, that's easy," Freymia said. "But what about the timing, location, and manner of the ceremony?"

Shen Sui lowered his head and glanced at the Dueling Device.

"I might have a pretty good idea," Shen Sui slowly said, "Let everyone on Dawn Continent witness Alice's coming-of-age ceremony."

Qishala seemed to have guessed: "Could it be..."

Shen Sui grinned and said, "Let's use the dazzling light of the Dragon God's fall to celebrate Alice's growth."

[Alice found Shrek and said directly, "I think the Dragon God Sect must completely control the dragons here."]

[Shrek knew that the person in front of him still wanted to do that thing, and quickly said, "Don't mess around, Bishop Adoma, the dragons here are very important to the Dragon God Sect."]

[The reason the Dragon God Sect can exist for a long time within the Master of Thunder Church is because of the Dragon Knight Legion, the top unit in the Fantasy World. If they offend the dragons here and the Dragon God Sect loses the support of dragon knights, the consequences would be unimaginable.]

["It's precisely because they are important that we need to further our control," Alice said, crossing her arms and starting to persuade using her rehearsed speech. "Can you guarantee that the dragons in Dragon Valley will always support us?"]

["But...then..." Shrek wanted to refute but couldn't find the right words at that moment.]

[Alice waved her hand and continued, "Besides, we hold a natural advantage in this matter."]

["Advantage?"]

[Alice grinned, "We can't do without the dragons here, but do you think the dragons can do without us? Dragons consume a lot of resources."]

[Shrek incredulously looked up at Alice.]

["Resources don't just grow on the shelves out of nowhere, especially resources that can support so many dragons." Alice raised her hand, examining her snow-white fingers as she casually brushed her thumb over the nails of her other fingers.]

["But... if we really pressure them, won't they seek cooperation with others? No one would refuse a group of dragons seeking refuge..."]

["Accept our management, and at least it can be said to be by the Dragon God's directive. Once the Dragon God recovers, they can be uplifted," Alice said with a good-natured smile looking at Shrek. "If they seek refuge with others, that would mean being subservient like dogs. Do you think they're willing to do that?"]

["Moreover, do you think other churches would risk being antagonized by Dragon Island to accept them?"]

[Shrek voiced his last concern, "They could seek refuge in other factions within the church..."]

[Alice suddenly interrupted Shrek, "You better not say such things, the church is united, how could there be factions? Saying things like that is causing division in the church. Don't make such statements again."]

[Shrek looked at Alice with some confusion, but soon he realized.]

[Adoma is not just a collaborator of the Dragon God Sect; she is now a candidate for the Pope.]

[After sending Shrek away again, Alice close the door and activated the Shielding Array.]

[After confirming she wasn't being watched, she took out the Star Abyss White Dragon's scale.]

Who was she going to contact?

Oshana?

At that moment, a melodious song came from Qishala's body.

Qishala paused, taking out a dragon scale.

She looked up sharply at Shen Sui, "It's Alice."

"?????" Has a phone call reached the real world now?

However, the Star Abyss White Dragon's scale was already a very powerful tool, last time it even pulled Alice into the Spiritual World, thinking about it, merely transmitting sound indeed seems child's play.

"Hello." Qishala accepted Alice's call request.

"Qishala sister!" Alice's lively and adorable voice came from the other end, "Are you busy right now?"

"I'm free, go ahead." Qishala blinked at Shen Sui, who gave an OK gesture.

"Hehe, then later go find Aunt Jilinna, and tell her I've found Lobelia." Alice followed through on her promise, fulfilling her agreement with Jilinna.

Qishala pretended not to know about this, revealing a hint of surprise, "You've found that silly child, that's impressive."

"Hehehe, just a coincidence!" Alice seemed like a child praised by parents, appeared extremely happy, not at all like someone about to have her coming-of-age ceremony, "Just happened to meet."

Then Qishala followed the thread of conversation and started asking Alice about her experiences in the past few days.

Alice didn't lie, recounting the events of the past few days including those involving the dragons in Dragon Valley — of course, she concealed the explosion in Roland City.

"By the way, Qishala sister." Alice paused, finally stating the main purpose of the call, "If possible, can you help me with something..."

"What is it?"

"Just send some dragons over to the mainland these days and have them circle around above some big cities." Alice outlined the plan, essentially asking the dragons from Dragon Island to show up on the mainland.

Qishala asked puzzled, "Why is that?"

Alice replied with a smile:

"To scare them, let them know they have no other choice."
