My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 514 - 407: Alice Prepares to Set Sail (6K)

The snowfield is indeed dangerous, but the danger comes from nature and the environment, whereas who knows what’s going on with the Ice Lake.

Alice arrived at a snowfield tribe closest to the Ice Lake.

After the previous great migration, the place was long deserted, but the basic structures had been retained.

Led by the warriors of this tribe, the group settled in a safehouse.

Alice used her magic to light a bonfire in the middle of the room and took enough food, fuel, and magic potions from her ring to stock the room, enough to sustain these warriors for the next few days, even for battles.

"I might sleep for a long time." Alice said to the warriors around her, "During this time, don’t let anyone disturb me."

Alice rarely spoke to others in such a serious tone, and the warriors understood the importance of this matter.

Perhaps it was some kind of ascension ceremony.

They thought to themselves.

After speaking, Alice took out a sleep potion she had obtained from Isabella from her ring.

"Uh...." Alice was slightly taken aback when she saw the potion, even examining it repeatedly.

"Why does it look like black tea?" Alice muttered with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, Claude’s voice sounded in Alice’s ear, filled with a touch of helplessness: "That’s its appearance; it also has a nickname called the Blood Race’s Sleeping Black Tea."

Shen Sui didn’t know how to explain, as it was the result of the creators playing a joke.

Alice blinked in confusion, completely unaware of the purpose behind this.

But aside from that, she had no doubts, and directly poured the entire content of the bottle into her mouth.

This amount was enough for her to sleep for three days and nights.

After drinking, Alice didn’t forget to smack her lips and taste the flavor. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Hmm... still tastes like lemon black tea."

As soon as she finished speaking, Alice fell backward, entering a sweet dream.

A faint firelight flickered on her, dispelling the cold of the snowfield. Over a hundred warriors sat around her, as if guarding the Sleeping Beauty, sitting quietly and waiting for the princess to wake up.

When Alice opened her eyes again, her identity had transformed into that of Finist, the lord of a noble territory.

"Lord Leonis." A knight dressed in armor bowed deeply to Alice.

Alice quickly assimilated the memories from the Candlelight Illusion and swiftly blended into the role.

Entering the Candlelight Illusion with one’s own body carried certain risks. If your acting skills weren’t good, it would be easy for others to notice the differences between you and the Candlelight Illusion, akin to the feeling of possession through time travel.

However, Alice lacked neither acting skills nor deceit; she almost seamlessly immersed herself into the role.

The knight before her was a guard sent to Finist by the Leonis family.

Of course, they weren’t the best knights in the family; the best ones had long been assigned to the more favored heirs of the family. Finist’s abilities were decent, but she didn’t quite resemble a noble and instead seemed more like a protector of the weak knight, as evident from her returning to the estate with thousands of refugees.

In these apocalyptic times, kindness and chivalry were precisely the most fatal qualities.

Many peers had already begun placing bets on how long it would take for Alice to be killed by those starving rioters.

Originally, the knights escorting Finist to the territory were despairing about the future. Being assigned to a coastal territory in an era of turbulent seas was undoubtedly a deadly task.

But soon, Alice changed their perception.

Firstly, a large amount of food and supplies appeared in the lord’s warehouse beyond their expectations, continually supplying the refugees following the lord.

With sufficient food and supplies, these refugees began to exhibit extraordinary productivity, rapidly starting the construction of the territory.

The territory, which was once in ruins, was revitalized in just over ten days.

The leading Knight Commander immediately sought Alice, wanting her to stop supplying the valuable food to the refugees.

Not only was it a waste, but also a dangerous display that could easily provoke coveting from surrounding territories, especially dangerous for the currently weak territory.

Alice refused.

Soon, Alice’s cousin came to confront her, wanting to use force to seize the grain.

With the peculiar magic potions and novel magic weapons Alice provided, the knights managed to defeat this group of knights who had once greatly surpassed them.

After this incident, although the danger still existed, the knights no longer doubted Alice’s capabilities.

Her magic potions and magic weapons proved the strength backing her.

But powerful potions and weapons couldn’t entirely compensate for the combat strength gap. Alice’s knights were among the weakest in the Leonis family, seeming precarious against the attacks from surrounding territories.

Of course, the war within the Leonis territories wasn’t solely on Alice’s side; after the previous patriarch’s death, the division of the Leonis family had become unavoidable, parceling out the entire territory was the last struggle of the original patriarch’s faction, aimed at preventing the enemy from easily obtaining the Leonis family.
