The Blasphemous Elven Empress That Night (2)

Rayne replied, "Beauty is an important component of divinity. In order to display the might of a god, even in a war, a demigod has to maintain a perfect demeanor. Furthermore… who would really walk in a battle between demigods? Don't you merely move using spells?"

Looking at the awkward smile on Alice's face, Rayne suddenly recalled.

Rayne: "Oh, right. You haven't learned how to use movement spells yet."

Alice smiled mischievously. "It's not that I haven't learned them, it's just that… I'm not very familiar with them."

"It's fine, you don't have to compete in speed against Breaking Moon later on. Do as I've taught you and remember the number and length of steps. You can't make a mistake with the steps. Remember, as long as you follow the plan I taught you, you can get rid of the Breaking Moon Queen with ease. However, if you take a wrong step..."

"I'm dead, right?"

Alice smiled and said gently, "Don't worry, Your Highness Rayne. I've already memorized your teachings with my body."

When Rayne heard that, he could only smile bitterly.

He was a little impressed by the Emerald Moon Queen's mentality. The next battle was equivalent to walking on the edge of a knife. A single mistake could lead to eternal damnation… but now, she did not seem nervous or worried about the next battle at all.

"The rest is up to you."

"Yes."

By the time Rayne helped Alice put on her clothes, a second breakfast was sent over.

Unfortunately, there was no longer time for Alice to eat.

There were only slightly more than ten minutes left before the start of the sacred test.

Alice glanced at the clock and fled the study in a panic.

…

Just like that, Alice left Rayne's residence.

Because Leta had a perfect detection system for teleportation spells, be it for enemy or their own demigods, every single spatial teleportation of theirs would be detected.

Therefore, Alice did not dare to use the convenient method of teleportation to move between the study room where Rayne resided and the White Light Courtyard…

She could only escape from the palace.

Thankfully, she already had the perception of a demigod. By perceiving the location of others, it was not a problem for her to leave the scene elegantly.

There was not much time left before the sacred test began.

Alice hurried to the venue.

At that moment, the teachers of the White Light Courtyard had already arrived.

Four elven teachers were present at the sacred test ceremony in the form of a spell projection and even Elebella was present.

After all, this had to do with Leta's future. Naturally, the demigods of the White Light Courtyard were extremely concerned about this sacred test.

They were filled with worry for this first round of the sacred test.

Alice was not only a student of the Great Teacher alone. In reality, all the elven teachers had guided her to a certain extent before.

Similar to the Great Teacher, the teachers all felt that she was a talented seedling.

However, at the same time, the teachers knew that no matter how good one's endowment was, it was meaningless without time to grow.

Given Alice's current strength, she was far from qualified to take part in an official sacred test ceremony, let alone challenge the extraordinary Breaking Moon Queen or even... Tragic Moon.

However, the reason why the coronation ceremony was held in such a hurry was not because the teachers were in a hurry to send Alice to her death in the face of the past queens.

After all, according to Leta's tradition of the past hundred years…

There were only two levels of difficulty for the Moonlight Queen's sacred test.

One was the level where even a stray dog could win and the other was the hell mode of the Tragic Moon.

In reality, the Sanctum Council had always had a flexible style of setting standards for the sacred test.

When they took a liking to a Moonlight Queen and wanted that candidate to complete the coronation ceremony successfully...

They would just choose a few weak Moonlight Queens for the list of the sacred test. Alternatively, they would fill the list with benevolent former queens who would allow the candidates to pass the test the moment they were asked to go easy.

However, in the same vein, if the Sanctum Council or palace encountered a candidate they were dissatisfied with, they would bring out the Tragic Moon Queen and make the candidates back off in the face of the difficulty.

It was also because of this system that many useless candidates who were completely unqualified made it to the final coronation ceremony, causing the sacred skeletons to be wasted.

In fact, even now, Leta had not produced a Moonlight Queen in 30 years.

Ad

Those deranged nobles of the palace would forcefully push their children who had not even passed the ascension ritual to the sacred test ceremony. The children would have to act pitifully in front of the benevolent late queens and cry about the tragic state of Leta through a memorized script. That way, the late queens would compromise in exasperation, giving them the rights to be crowned.

Each time that happened, the supply of sacred skeletons decreased by one.

Therefore, the original plan of the demigod teachers was to destroy the dirty deal between the Sanctum Council and the palace by forcefully intervening to modify the name list. They wanted to make use of the lax rules where even dogs could win to hurry and crown Alice as the Moonlight Queen.

After all, there was only a single skeleton remaining.

Before the trashes of the palace could choose a new imbecile and waste that precious skeleton, Alice had to complete the coronation first.

Furthermore, be it ruling a country or using the power of a demigod, it required a lot of time to learn.

From the perspective of the White Light Courtyard, it was only natural that if Alice were to start practicing earlier, she would be able to grow faster.

Of course, whether or not she would grow was a matter for the future.
