In order to collect intelligence, Cardinal will still use the familiar to observe when the integrity knights leave the cathedral on missions. This is not the first time that someone has gone berserk because the artifact triggered the memory that should have existed but could not find it.
Then let's deal with it as usual.
She went deep into Alice's heart and said:
[It doesn’t matter. I’ve been watching your important people. They are doing well and will definitely come to you in the near future...]
Alice's soul gradually stabilized.
[Ha, I found you.] Crounpis suddenly got on the line and said with a smile.
[Quinella's puppet...do you think this can pose a threat to me?] Cardinal was unfazed by this.
[It’s true that I can’t hit you like this, but it’s okay to say hello and figure out part of your action pattern. It’s strange for a cardinal to be so kind. Logically speaking, you shouldn’t leave Rampage alone, which can harm the balance of the world.
Should Alice be eliminated directly? In that case, you can do this - get out of here, or I will kill all the people you care about and their families and friends, using methods like this...]
He couldn't continue, not because he was trying to make excuses, but because he was forced to cover his right eye, which was starting to turn red and painful.
[No way, this right eye seal is effective even for me who is so powerful that it doesn’t have most of the restrictions in "The Taboo Index"?!]
[Hmph, if she could do this, Quinella would have done it long ago. As long as the seal on her right eye is not broken, the legal and moral rules that Quinella understood before she became Adominis Doret will still constrain her behavior.
I will never let you continue to be arrogant this time. That boy is not something you can completely see clearly.] Since the observation target has been exposed, Cardinal also knew that he could not continue to act, so he simply said.
[Hehe, do you think you are the only one observing them? Adominis Doret has been interested in him for a long time. 】
[Hmph, I started paying attention to him when he was fighting for Rulid Village.]
[Hehe, but I personally had to deal with him head-on earlier. Not only did I save Alice’s sister, but I also convinced those people to accept that Alice’s crime was not an unreasonable and unwarranted crime. It will be clear by then which side they believe more, right?
】
[That’s because you concealed part of the truth, which is more terrifying than lying. If I expose everything——]
[The premise is that something that subverts three concepts is said by a child with a convincing appearance? Even if it is believed, most people will probably have their souls broken and die due to logical failures. ]
[Hmph, there are only a few years left before the final stress test. This is the last chance. I will make a desperate move, just wait and see. I will never let Quinella destroy the world.]
[To put it nicely, even if you win, the world will be destroyed, right?]
【At least I will make everything disappear without pain.】
[Life is beautiful when it develops and innovates in order to survive. Even if we may face dire straits, we can definitely make the world and creatures under our control exist longer and develop better. You can really laugh at every step you take.]
Cardinal judged that there was no point in continuing the debate, disconnected the connection, and began to figure out how to contact Spider Charlotte, who was responsible for monitoring Kirito and his party, to provide corresponding cover.
Although he did not know the reason why Adominis Doret did not attack those people immediately, Cardinal, who inherited many of Quinella's memories, guessed that Kirito's changeability might bring benefits to the Axiom Church.
It would be too wasteful to directly make an integrity knight who can only follow orders and fight.
Then, she still has a chance.

"I..." Alice looked at the messy scene with a blank expression, then looked at Bercouli, "Why is uncle here? Has the volcano stopped erupting?"
"Hey, Miss, I just stopped by to inspect the work. As for the volcano... it seems that during the time you fought for, the child chanted a long sacred spell and temporarily calmed the volcano. But we need to wait for the energy to be accumulated.
It will still erupt. Except for the miracle of the Supreme Priest, there should be no existence that can defeat the volcano. But, Miss, do you really not remember what happened just now?" Bercouli asked after explaining.
"Uh... I don't remember." Alice felt a little uncomfortable.
"...Anyway, it's okay. The eldest lady's [Weapon Memory Release Technique] is too dangerous, and it must be used with caution before it is fully mastered. Then Hebrei and Kilo explained on the way back that they should report the truth to their superiors.
I still have a mission, so I’ll leave first.”
"Yes, Your Excellency, Knight Commander." x 3
Although Alice regarded Bercouli as her uncle, he really didn't have that much time. After receiving the response, he immediately mounted the flying dragon to join Aiz and flew towards the East Gate.
"Is Aiz okay?" he asked concerned.
"There is still some pain, but it will be enough to recover before reaching the destination and it will not affect the battle. I really want to kill them quickly, those damn people like the Dark Knight, Dark Warlock, or monsters like giants, goblins, and ogres, okay
I want to kill them, haha." As he spoke, Aiz shook his head and almost danced.
"It's a good thing to be motivated, but don't push yourself too hard. Don't forget that the main force in this battle is the Knights of the Eastern Empire."
"Yes! Ugh, vomit, vomit..." Aiz suddenly retched.
"Hey, are you really okay?"
"No, it's just that the Feilong fainted and hasn't recovered yet."
Bercouli sighed inwardly, wondering why he didn't summon more serious guys if he wanted to summon knights.
There are serious knights, but they are weak, yandere, sister-in-law, frivolous and talkative, people who want to demolish houses from time to time, people who wield swords like hoes, and timid people who are so frightened that they can't even move when a sword is pointed at them.
, there are all kinds of people, and half of them will faint when they first come here.
Although Bercouli is confident in his own strength, there are many people who can train better than him and not faint the flying dragon with the same amount of time and energy.
If the battle is successful this time, take advantage of the opportunity to put the people in the Senate in a good mood and put forward your opinions. At least Krampis Bizchudelkin will listen to them.

Istabalyes East Empire, Gate of the East——
"Oh, oh, are they the elite of the ordinary army in the human world?" Aiz on the flying dragon said, looking down at the camp that could accommodate a thousand people.
"Ah, that's right," Bercouli said.
"It would feel very safe if I stood behind them and focused on casting sacred magic. Isn't there such a tactic?"
"This tactic is not bad, I think so. Unfortunately, convention and law do not allow it." Bercouli said angrily.
