Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 212 Alberta’s Prayer (1)

For this reason, Alfred must find out Antonio's true identity at all costs.

"Al, what are you doing standing outside?"

A familiar voice called Alfred out of his thoughts.

It was Rose who had just finished her work at the Student Union.

Although she looked a little tired from work, she still gave Alfred a lovely smile.

"No, I just thought the moonlight was nice today, so I was admiring it."

"I don't think you look like you're admiring the moon. Did something happen?"

Rose approached Alfred and asked gently.

"No."

"Al, you are really something. You are still as stubborn as before. Forget it. Even if I force you to tell me, you will definitely not answer me honestly. But don't make everyone worry."

Rose acted like an older sister and raised her index finger to emphasize to Alfred.

"Eh? Ok, ok."

Looking at Rose now, Alfred couldn't help but be stunned.

"Any questions?"

Rose tilted her head in confusion.

"No, I just feel that Sister Rose is a little different today. How should I put it, you are more mature than before?"

"Hey~~Al, how do you usually treat me, your sister? I am your sister!"

"S-Sorry. Sister Rose, let's go inside quickly. It's starting to get cold outside."

"You're changing the subject again, just like before. But never mind, I'll let you go this time."

Rose pouted unhappily and said while holding Alfred's arm.

"Ah ha ha……"

(It must be just my illusion, right?)

— Alberta —

"How did the investigation go?"

Alberta asked with a smile to Sabrina who entered the office.

In contrast to her, Sabrina had a bitter look on her face.

"Just like last time, the alchemical material consumption of the Pseudo-Life Gate is zero. Those girls are not alchemical puppets, but people who came from another world through the gate."

Sabrina reported in a heavy tone.

"That's true~"

Alberta simply responded without saying anything more.

"It is now basically confirmed that Alfred is also an outsider."

Sabrina broke her silence and asked Alberta for advice.

"I think that little devil should be it."

Outsiders are the official name of the Elf Empire for people from other worlds. Outsiders include reincarnated people, time travelers, or people from other worlds who simply traveled through interstellar space and came to this world.

However, the identity of outsiders is difficult to confirm. It requires both the recognition of the person involved and the fact that the other party can provide sufficient evidence to prove his or her identity.

Due to such harsh conditions, many people who were identified as outsiders by the Elf Empire in history were, strictly speaking, suspected outsiders.

But Alberta knew a real reincarnation.

Elector B. Wyatt is the father of the first Duke of Elector, and also the first Queen Elizabeth of the Elizabethan dynasty, and the half-brother of the first Duke of Christiana.

He had admitted to Alberta's mother in the past that he actually had memories of his past life.

Alberta felt complicated as to why the other party would tell her mother such a thing.

However, since Alberta and her sister were both pure-blooded high elves, not a mix of humans and high elves, Alberta had no intention of interfering with her mother's private life.

"Don't we need to try to keep an eye on him?"

Sabrina suggested to Alberta with a complicated feeling of guilt.

Alberta knew that Sabrina seemed to be unexpectedly fond of Alfred, so she had some reservations about secretly monitoring Alfred.

"No need~ Anyway, even if we wanted to watch, we couldn't keep an eye on that little brat, right?"

"But...he is an outsider."

Sabrina warns Alberta cryptically.

It is common sense for people who know about the intelligence of outsiders that outsiders are symbols of chaos and destruction.

For example, the more famous Thorn, the first emperor of the Thorn dynasty, who was suspected to be an outsider.

Although he obtained the bloodline conditions to participate in the battle for the throne by marrying Ulysses' granddaughter, he successfully ended the war that had lasted for decades.

But after he became emperor, he turned out to be an extremely stupid and tyrannical guy.

They started to hold extremely cruel puppeteer duel competitions, reinstated the slave system, and treated all races except humans and elves as slaves...

If it weren't for the fact that the Elf Empire's national power and military strength completely crushed the Empire, the Empire would not dare to provoke the elves easily. Thorne would definitely have plundered the naturally beautiful elves and made them his slaves.

Because of Thorne's series of actions, the empire has never been at peace since the beginning of the Thorne Dynasty.

Even though more than a thousand years have passed, the evil left by Thorn still affects the empire.

There are many such examples in the history of the empire, but the impact caused by other outsiders was not on such a large scale.

There is also the Electrek mentioned earlier.

Although compared to other outsiders, Elect did not cause any serious harm.

But the Thorne Dynasty could almost be said to have been destroyed by Elect alone.

Neither Alberta nor Sabrina actually understood Alfred's character.

His existence was like a huge bomb that could explode at any time to the two of them.

Even so...

Alberta stood up from her desk and turned to look at the crescent moon in the night sky.

"It doesn't matter. If that kid is going to do something, let him do it."

She said this with her back to Sabrina.

"Can I ask why you do this?"

Sabrina was somewhat dissatisfied with Alberta's laissez-faire attitude, but she did not continue to insist on her own opinion and turned to Alberta to seek the reason for such a decision.

"As for the reason... I can't really explain it. It's probably just my spirit's intuition. Alna is dangerous, but he's the kind of fool who would easily risk his life for the people and things he cherishes."

Alberta thought about it and said with a slight smile on her face.

"As long as the girls around him are fine, Alfred will behave himself and not cause any trouble. Also, Lina, don't you think that guy is actually a pretty low-key person?"

"Is he... low-key?"

Sabrina asked Alberta with a suspicious look on her face. She almost had the word "doubt" written on her face.

If we only look at what has happened to Alfred in the past month since he entered school, he certainly cannot be called low-key.
