In the Name of Empress-Chapter 600 - 352: A Traitor Among Us?

Christine has already come, she definitely won't turn back easily, so Roland took the opportunity to invite her to join them. Sif didn't care either way, but Angelina was absolutely unwilling.

She knew very well that Sofia had already offended the Goddess of Light irreversibly, and Christine was the most loyal follower of the Goddess of Light in the human world. How could she not be worried?

Having Christine join does have its advantages, at least the team won't have to grope forward in the dark.

Although this kind of candle-light-in-the-dark behavior is somewhat ostentatious, Roland did not oppose it. What they needed to do was to protect Sofia, be it scaring off or killing the enemy.

Christine's summoning of light to illuminate the night and deter the enemies indeed saves a lot of trouble.

The light surrounding everyone was not strong, yet very clear, guiding the direction forward.

Their steps paused briefly before the black tower, and after checking it out, they continued onward.

The corpse of the black ape has now become Christine's trophy; the black tower, because it is unmanned, has also become a waste tower, and the only certainty is its function.

Creating an absolute dark canopy to obscure the conspiracy under darkness.

Light is the nemesis of darkness.

Although the dark canopy can absorb ordinary light, pure light cannot be held back.

With the light, the traveling speed naturally increased significantly.

Christine leads the way in front, followed closely by Sif, with Roland and Angelina following in order.

Seeing Angelina's face full of worry in his peripheral vision, Roland knew what she was thinking, so he fell back a few steps, walking beside her.

Direct persuasion is definitely useless, so Roland decided to tell a story.

"Do you remember Andrew?"

"Of course, the idiot who betrayed Her Majesty the Empress's trust has already been locked up."

Not mentioning this name was fine, but bringing it up made Angelina furious.

Being the outstanding young official personally appointed by Sofia, Andrew performed brilliantly in the Rodinia war, especially skilled in logistical support, he was supposed to have a very bright future.

However, this bright future young man fell in love with a foreign girl, whom he considered a pure rose but turned out to be a carnivorous plant.

This girl was a spy from the Kingdom of Tirol.

Sending a spy to an ally's home isn't very nice, but in this era where the overall moral standard is extremely low, everyone does it, so it's not a big deal.

Andrew once had the chance to minimize his losses.

If he had told Angelina the whole truth, even if he wasn't heavily utilized in the future, the Empress's favor could still keep him safe.

Yet he continued to make mistakes, leaking many secrets to the damned female spy.

Because the two countries are allies and lack key evidence, this matter could only be left unresolved.

Andrew was put under house arrest, and within a stipulated time and place, he must willingly confess his problems.

Angelina really wanted to slap this traitor to death, but since he was personally selected by Sofia, all she could do was wait for Sofia to handle it personally.

She sighed in some disappointment, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you bring him up? When we see Her Majesty, don't mention his issue first, lest Her Majesty gets annoyed."

"What I mean is, Andrew's handling has already exceeded our jurisdiction."

Angelina was stunned for a few seconds before she realized.

Roland went around in a big circle but was still hinting at her not to worry about Christine.

Minor blasphemy acts, being the Pope, Christine could discipline on behalf of the Goddess, capturing blasphemers to burn them to death.

But she can't handle severe blasphemy acts on her own.

For more serious ones, perhaps the Goddess would send down divine oracle asking earthly believers to deal with it, or might entrust the Divine Punishment Legion to handle it.

If it's extremely malicious blasphemy behavior, the Goddess would most probably do it herself.

Sofia's level of blasphemy is undoubtedly the highest.

With past grievances added, it's almost certain that the Goddess of Light will strike personally.

Angelina let out a sigh of relief, her face looked much more relaxed.

This time, it was Roland's turn to be shocked.

"You're not worried about the Goddess descending?"

"Not worried, Her Majesty is invincible," Angelina said decisively.

Perhaps thinking this assertion was too arbitrary, she quickly supplemented: "I mean, with your help, Her Majesty the Empress is invincible."

Roland smiled without continuing this topic.

Invincible?

Even a Conceptual God does not exist as an invincible being.

Invincible is not an ability, but a state.

Any strong person is invincible before being defeated, what does that prove? With Sofia's Power of Frosty Winter exhausted, does she still remain invincible at the same level? 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Even if she can stay invincible at the same level, what if the enemy deploys a stronger entity with a higher level?

This is not impossible, as the Fourth Return Day arrives, the strong who once existed in this plane also gain the qualification to return.

They hide in mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, lurk in the endless night, waiting to strike.

If Queen Sisi calls upon these people for a shameless sneak attack, Sofia is still in danger.

If there were truly no danger, Roland wouldn't bother running.

Running in the depth of winter just to see the polar night?

With the trust issue resolved, the four-member team continued forward.

However, they faced the same dilemma as the hidden enemies, unable to find Sofia.

Although they haven't encountered enemies, Roland's intuition tells him that every nightfall, mysterious enemies will appear in the shadows.

The Arctic of the Theia Plane is not a vast ocean, but consists of several giant islands and a series of small islands.

The glacier spans a very vast area, connecting several main islands.

If nothing unexpected happens, Sofia is certainly near the Extreme Cold Point, but the area of Ark Island where the Extreme Cold Point is located is equivalent to seven or eight provinces, finding someone closed for training here is really very difficult.
