Chapter 131: Chapter 123: The Opponent’s Hidden Cards

Lette reached out and picked up the crystal shoe, wrapping it in Holy Light.

Then he took out the Event Essence of the crystal shoe he bought from the demon and gently placed it into the Holy Light.

The crystal ball immediately seemed to be activated, starting to revolve around the crystal shoe.

Seeing this, Lette placed it in the newly built Holy Altar.

Emily peeked around, "How long will it take?"

"I don’t know, the closer the dream phenomenon is to reality, the faster it will be.

But the image of the magic crystal shoe is too vast and chaotic, converging from multiple forms to one true form, this process will be very long.

It should be done by evening."

"Oh... no wonder Lilith brought us chairs."

Lette was a bit speechless, "And sunflower seeds... Are you guys really here just to have fun?"

"I also brought the ’Fairy Tale King’! I can munch on sunflower seeds while reading! Haha~ Who knows, I might discover something!"

"If you can find a story that corresponds to you, that would be great."

"Shouldn’t the Blood Witch know about this? Why didn’t you ask last time?"

Lette slapped his forehead, "Right!"

Emily angrily stomped on Lette’s foot, "You! Never had me in your heart!"

"You’re wrong!"

Lette lifted his head high, "I didn’t even put you in my eyes!"

"Hmph!"

Emily angrily went back to her bed, sitting there reading fairy tales to vent her anger.

Lette stood before the Holy Altar, eyes fixed on the progress of the crystal shoe’s fusion, while Lilith occasionally took over watching for a bit.

Time passed by little by little, and by the afternoon, the Pope arrived with the two Archbishops and Master Constant to the top of the Holy Tower.

This matter concerns whether Joanna can awaken smoothly, and it is a major event for the entire Church Court.

After they arrived, the top of the tower became much livelier.

At first, the three girls’ chairs were taken without dispute, and the three of them had no choice but to sit on the bed.

The Pope and Master Constant, relying on their seniority, each took a chair, leaving the last one for the Red Archbishop and the Black robed Archbishop to fight over.

The two of them struggled for a long time, and neither sat down, eventually, Master Constant took it over to use as a cradle for the dragon egg.

In gatherings like this which are unofficial, sometimes it becomes a good chance for exchange.

Usually, these people represent their respective institutions and interests. Now, meeting privately, they actually reached a consensus on many matters.

But Lette sneered at this, asserting that it was actually a conference for dividing spoils and blame.

"This year’s Holy Presence Day is really fraught with crises, it’s thanks to Lette indeed."

Upon hearing the Pope say this, Lette, who was flipping through the stolen fairy tale book, looked up.

"Actually, I quite wanted to wash my hands of it. But if the Church Court collapses, and the whole world falls into chaos, I’d be very troubled.

After all, I’m kind-hearted, and I can’t stand evil things.

But speaking of it, I mentioned my opinion three years ago.

Having the Holy Presence Day once every three years is too frequent.

In the past, the rule of the Holy Light Church was not very stable, and the Holy Light Goddess needed to descend from time to time to stabilize people’s hearts.

But now, it’s completely unnecessary to have it so frequently anymore!

Not to mention exhausting people and wasting money, it gives those who intend to cause trouble the opportunity!

I think it should change to once every five years! Or eight or ten years!

No need to keep pushing it downwards!"

The Pope sighed, "I think the same way! Unfortunately, Lady Goddess disagrees.

Every Holy Presence Day is a huge expense! The Church Court’s money... gets spent like running water..."

"Teacher, you’re being a bit ridiculous. I don’t know about previous sessions, but this session definitely made a profit.

The street stalls, the commercial street, and the sword pulling ceremony at the East Gate.

Didn’t all that money come back to you?"

The Pope seemed dissatisfied, "Making money is making money, but spending money is truly spending it!"

Lette rubbed his temples helplessly, "...If you don’t pick up money on the ground, is it considered losing it? What’s this consumption relativity!"

At this moment, Lilith’s voice came from the Holy Altar.

"Lette, it’s almost ready."

"Oh oh oh!"

Lette threw the fairy tale book to Emily and quickly walked up to the Holy Altar, the others also crowded over with curious expressions.

In the Holy Light, the crystal ball had already faded to the point of near disappearance.

And the pair of magic crystal shoes were now emitting a faint glow, adding a touch of liveliness and an indescribable aura compared to when they were first carved.

At a glance, one would instinctively believe that these are the legendary crystal shoes of Cinderella.

With the complete disappearance of the crystal ball, the magic crystal shoes were finally and entirely manufactured.

Lette turned to look outside the tower, it was already a starry moonlit night.

"I didn’t expect it to take so many prayer times!"

"Yes, the pre-Holy Presence Night celebration outside has been going on for half a day."

Lette carefully picked up the crystal shoes and walked quickly to the foot of Joanna’s bed.

He looked again and again, "Um... should it be the left foot or the right foot?"

The crowd looked at each other, saying nothing.

"Heh heh! This is the moment! I am needed!"

Emily stood up, holding her ’Fairy Tale King’ with a proud expression all over her face.

"According to my deduction! The probability that Cinderella dropped the crystal shoe is fifty-two percent left foot! The right foot is forty-eight percent!"

"...Let me just listen to your analysis."

"The analysis is... ’Fairy Tale King’ has more illustrations than ’Complete Fairy Tales’! The illustration shows the left foot!"

"Get out of here..."

Lette desperately wanted to throw Emily off the tower, but her interference seemingly eased some of the tension.

After thinking much over, he finally picked up the crystal shoe for the left foot and reached out to lift the blanket at the foot of Joanna’s bed.

Everyone tactfully stepped aside, looking at the scene with some excitement.

Lette took a deep breath, cradled Joanna’s left foot, and started to slip on the crystal shoe.

Just as the crystal shoe was about to be put on, Lette suddenly paused.

"No... that’s not right!"

Everyone was taken aback, not knowing what was wrong.

"Lette, what’s wrong?"

Lilith came forward, "Is it... my carving having some problem?"

"No! No problem."

"Then is it the Event Essence from the demon having a problem?"

"No problem either! The crystal shoes themselves, have no problem."

"You... don’t really think, that left or right foot is that important, right?"

Lette looked back at everyone, "Emily."

"Ah?"

"If Cinderella puts on the crystal shoes, that means the prince found her, and they live happily ever after, right?"

"Yes! The story ends there."

"Then after it ends, where does the magic bestowed upon Cinderella go?"

"Of course it! It..."

Emily slapped her forehead, "Wrong, all wrong!"

Lilith, anxious, grabbed Emily’s hand, "What’s wrong exactly?"

Lette’s voice was unusually calm, "If Joanna puts on the crystal shoes, the story ends, the magic will leave her body.

Then she loses her Witch Power, the two conflicting forces inside her will leave only the healing Holy Light Power, the Goddess Blessing stuck halfway would continue to take effect, and naturally, she would wake up.

But the magic won’t disappear into thin air, rather it will..."

Lette stopped here, looked up to meet Emily’s eyes, and they both spoke almost in unison.

"Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!"

Lilith was puzzled, "What!?"

Lette put the crystal shoes away, "The Fairy Stick! The Fairy Godmother’s Fairy Stick, the source of all magic for Cinderella.

When Cinderella puts on the crystal shoe, the magic cast on her by the Fairy Godmother ends.

Then this magic will return to its master.

The crystal shoes can indeed awaken Joanna, but if the Truth Remnants have an artifact symbolizing the Fairy Stick, the Destruction Light Witch Power would still fall into their hands.

These shoes can’t be worn. We need to find the Fairy Stick first to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Lette stood up, placing the crystal shoes in Lilith’s hands, then looked at the Pope and others.

"Those guys were even deliberately guiding us to create the crystal shoes.

To them, whether Joanna wakes up is irrelevant; what they have always wanted is the Destruction Light Witch’s power."

The Pope and others were taken aback with a jolt, "That was close, almost fell into their trap.

Those remnants of the Tower of Truth are really cunning!"

Boom!

The sudden sound startled everyone.

"What is that sound?"

"It seems to be the sound of the clock!?"

"That’s impossible, there is only one large clock in the Judgement Court in the entire Holy City, and it was already broken and hasn’t been fixed till now!"

Lette was confused, "Why hasn’t it been repaired?"

"Because the Pope didn’t approve the funding!"

"You broke it, you fix it!"

Dong dong dong!!!

"Everyone quiet!"

Lette’s face suddenly changed dramatically, "This isn’t good!"

He swiftly constructed powerful Holy Light Barriers in his hands, quickly covering Joanna.

It seemed as if the other side also realized something, as the bell sound suddenly accelerated.

Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong dong! Dong!

With the twelfth bell sound, a strong magic surged from within Joanna.

Lette’s multiple Holy level Magic Arrays were already in place, with powerful Forbidden Curse and Super Position Divine Spell mixed in.

However, this force seemed inherently to restrain the Holy Light Divine Spell, effortlessly shattering all defense barriers, smashing a wall of the Holy Tower right in front of everyone, and disappearing into the vast night sky.

Staring at the broken wall, Lette furrowed his brow and murmured.

"They have always been waiting for a special day, only the twelve chimes at midnight of that special day could activate this power to return.

They have always been waiting for the pre-Holy Presence Night!"

Lilith shouted at Lette, "Lette! Joanna still hasn’t awakened!"

Upon hearing this, Lette hurried back to the bedside, looking at the still unconscious Joanna, taking a deep breath.

"There’s still a residue of Destruction Magic Power inside her... Only by putting on the crystal shoes will the last part of Destruction Magic Power completely return."

Lilith picked up the crystal shoe, "Since the main part has been taken away, the small part doesn’t seem to matter, right?"

"Wait!"

Lette stopped Lilith, "Having just come into contact with the Destruction Light Power, I discovered a way to leave a mark on it.

When the last piece of power fully returns, I’ll be able to follow it and find the perpetrators."

Lilith widened her eyes, "You cracked it in just that moment?"

"Not just that, I had already stored a vast amount of knowledge about witches before, studying the Blood Witch and Emily’s magic power.

The brief contact was just a verification of my speculation."

Lette said this, turning to look at the Holy Altar, "But before that, I need to talk to the Holy Light Goddess.

Teacher, I’ll have to trouble you."
