章 10: The Struggle for the Spiritual Object
Above the Alva Family, the winds and clouds were churning, and a powerful and dazzling white light shot straight into the sky, attracting all the forces and powerful individuals from the Augustan Empire to rush over.
In the palace of the Augustan Empire.
"Where exactly is the place where the white light is shining?" The middle-aged man in a magnificent golden robe narrowed his eyes slightly and asked the old attendant beside him in a low voice.
The old attendant stared for a moment, full of astonishment in his heart. "Your Majesty, this old servant reckons it's in the direction of the Alva Family."
"Alva Family..." Adrian murmured softly, his eyelids slowly drooping, as if sinking into many past memories.
After a long contemplation, he gave an order: "I haven't visited the Alva Family for a long time. Prepare the carriage and head to the Alva Family!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The old attendant replied.
Similar conversations were taking place one after another within various forces and families of the Augustan Empire.
Their intentions were obvious. They all wanted to rush to the Alva Family to find out what kind of spiritual object could emit such a dazzling and powerful white light.
At this moment, Alice, who had already formed a contract with the little fur ball, had a solemn expression. She mercilessly grabbed the little fur ball and stuffed it into the contract space.
Suddenly ——
With a loud "boom", the roof of the attic was blown to pieces, and most of it had turned into powder.
Immediately after, she heard her grandfather's angry roar: "Who dares to act recklessly in my Alva Family?"
"Hahaha, Alva, what kind of rare spiritual object have you hidden? Why don't you take it out and share it with everyone?"
The old Duke Alva spat hard. "Bah, Willie Aike, you bastard, you're really disgusting!"
Aike's face instantly turned extremely ugly, but he then said: "Alva, don't think that with the cultivation level of a third-level mage, you can be so arrogant. Don't forget that the ancestor of my Willie Family is a fourth-level mage powerhouse!"
"If you have the guts, call him out and fight me!" The old Duke was originally hot-tempered and unruly, and his words were simply stifling.
Aike was momentarily speechless, and his face twitched slightly.
Aike had sharp eyes and noticed the head of the Nobby Family and others standing on the roof over there. Suddenly, he showed a faint smile to the old Duke. "Alva, look at how many people have come around. Do you think you can swallow this extremely valuable spiritual object all by yourself?"
Alva also noticed that the leaders and managers of various forces or families of the Augustan Empire had blatantly broken into his Alva Family.
The strength of the guards of the Alva Family was far inferior to theirs.
He was also wondering why there was such a powerful white light shooting up from Alice's attic...
Thinking of this, a thick shadow of worry flashed in Alva's eyes.
The head of the Nobby Family had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were full of calculating looks. "Old Duke, to avoid harming the innocent people of your Alva Family, why don't you hand over the spiritual object?"
This was blatant coercion!
If he didn't hand over the so-called "spiritual object", I'm afraid these hypocrites would never let anyone in the Alva Family off.
Alva was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and he was extremely annoyed.
Just as he was about to speak, a clear and lively voice came: "You want the spiritual object? I'm afraid there aren't enough of you to divide it, are there?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful girl of fourteen or fifteen years old in a white dress standing gracefully below, holding a box in both hands.
The box exuded an invisible and alluring aura.
Alice looked up with a smile at the "plunderers" on the roof, with an unassuming and graceful posture.
"Who is this?"
"She is the so-called waste of the Alva Family!"
"But it's only been a few days, and her temperament has changed so much."
Someone narrowed their eyes and stared closely at the box in Alice's hands. "Is what she's holding in her hands the spiritual object that emitted the white light just now?"
Alice took in everyone's expressions and said with a smile: "There is only one spiritual object, and it's definitely not enough to distribute. If I give it to any senior, the other seniors will surely accuse me of being partial..."
"Why don't we do this? I'll place the spiritual object at the gate of the Alva Family later. If you want it, you can compete for it yourselves?"
Many people thought what she said was reasonable, but competing at the gate of the Alva Family was really a bit embarrassing.
Alice added: "Don't you really want it? I found this spiritual object accidentally in the Flaming Forest. Wearing it on my body, I strangely feel very comfortable physically and mentally."
"If it weren't for you seniors coming, I might have swallowed it. Maybe this could reopen my path of cultivation for this useless body of mine..."
After speaking, Alice inadvertently showed a lonely and gloomy look.
Someone seeing this situation immediately decided on this plan and asked to place the spiritual object in front of the gate of the Alva Family.
"That's settled. You should stop making things difficult for a little girl. The little girl has finally made up her mind to give up the spiritual object. What else do you want?" Said a leader of a force.
"Right, right." There were also some people with a little conscience left.
"Come on, I can't wait to see what kind of spiritual object this is!"
Finally, Alice was standing in front of the gate holding the box, and a circle of people had gathered in front of the gate, including the heads of the three major families, the manager of the Herbal Hall, an elder of the Spiritual Heaven Auction House, and others.
They stared at the box in her hands like hungry wolves. Alice curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Dear seniors, catch it!" Alice shouted loudly.
As the voice fell, the wooden box was thrown into the air by Alice.
"Boom ——"
"Bang ——"
"Clang ——"
The sounds of various attacks and competitions intertwined, and everyone instantly got into a scuffle. The speed was so fast that it was dazzling.
Many common people around gathered and looked up at this chaotic fight.
"What's going on? Why did they suddenly start fighting?"
"A beam of white light shot up from the Alva Family just now, and it attracted so many powerful people."
"That wooden box must be the source of the powerful white light!"
"No wonder they are attacking and competing for the wooden box while fighting."
The common people of the Augustan Empire were talking about it and couldn't help but look at Alice standing at the gate of the Alva Family. She was standing with her hands behind her back, looking at the scuffling crowd leisurely.
The common people strangely felt that she seemed to have a winning ticket and was looking down on all living beings...
They were fighting so hard as if they were performing a show for her.
How strange!
Was this still the shy, timid, and self-abased waste of the Alva Family, Miss Alice?!
Looking more closely, Alice had already pulled the old Duke and was comfortably watching the show at the gate of her own home.
"Alice, that spiritual object..." The old Duke asked hesitantly.
Alice immediately blinked playfully at him. She looked clever and sly, like a little fox.
Alice said with a smile: "Grandfather, don't worry. I have my own plan."
Seeing her firm look, the old Duke unconsciously felt relieved.
He quietly transmitted his voice to Alice: "Alice, are you playing them like monkeys?"
Alice just smiled without answering.
Seeing this, the old Duke also guessed roughly and his happy mood rose a few more points.
At this time, in a hotel not far from the Alva Family, in a room on the third floor, stood a middle-aged man in a blue robe and an old man who seemed a bit effeminate.
"Your Majesty, should we send someone to compete for that spiritual object?" A voice like a duck's quack rang out.
