My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 502 - 403: Alice Happily Hauling Bricks (6K)_2

Isabella knew that Shen Sui was probably currently dealing with those invaders from the Otherworld, so she said to Alice, "If there’s anything, you can tell me first. He has more important matters to handle right now."

Alice blinked in confusion.

Claude is right inside me, what could be more important?

But Alice still trusted Isabella’s words without hesitation and began telling her about what happened in last night’s dream.

Isabella had helped Alice procure supplies for World No. 8 and had also assisted in selling items acquired from there, so there was no need to keep this from her.

"The Black Tide that can devour all living things?"

Isabella recalled what Qishala had said at the dinner table.

Martina discovered an array at the bottom of the Deep Sea, and the summoned black stream was very similar to Alice’s description.

The squid named Master of the Deep Sea beside her loved eating the vengeful spirits within the black stream and purified it into ordinary seawater through devouring the spirits.

"I want to see if there’s a way to solve this on the Dawn Continent," Alice said.

It’s like when you can’t defeat an enemy with swordsmanship in the East, you might consider going to the Western World to buy a firearm and demonstrate "American Swordsmanship" to the Eastern warriors. Since there’s no solution to the Black Tide or the Black Sea disaster in World No. 8, Alice naturally turned her attention to her homeland, the Dawn Continent.

Although Isabella knew that the giant squid could purify the seawater, she didn’t directly tell Alice, because she had two concerns.

First, she wasn’t sure of the giant squid’s purification limit. If Alice took the giant squid to World No. 8 and it ended up drowning, Martina would be very upset.

Second, Alice’s exploratory nature was a good motivation for action, and Shen Sui might use this as a reason to send Alice to train at various places, to become stronger.

Isabella’s silence was taken by Alice as helplessness.

She could fully understand Isabella’s helplessness; solving such an Otherworld phenomenon was extremely difficult.

"Let’s not talk about this for now." Alice quickly changed the topic, a familiar lively smile appearing on her face, "I brought a lot of good stuff from the Dream World..."

That said, she began taking things out of her ring, and in no time, the whole room looked packed, yet the items in Alice’s ring seemed far from being exhausted.

Isabella glanced at the magic materials covering the ground, her eyelid twitching.

Fortunately, Alice’s Space Storage Ring was the best on the Dawn Continent; otherwise, it couldn’t handle such transportation.

"I want to sell all of these," Alice said to Isabella.

Isabella sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at the magic materials covering the ground, deep in thought.

All of these were unheard-of materials on the Dawn Continent, with unknown uses and effects—all were unknowns.

However, judged by the aura they emitted, these materials were definitely extraordinary.

"Where did you get so many materials?" Isabella asked, somewhat unable to understand, "Didn’t you say you were moving with the refugee group?"

"That was then, this is now," Alice replied, "Before I woke up, I had already led the group into the Leonis family lands."

In the dream, Alice’s identity was one of the heirs to the Leonis family. Although not the sole heir, returning to the family lands was like going home.

The abundance of materials she took from her ring were all obtained from this territory.

"So much material, you didn’t embezzle and empty the family lands’ warehouse, did you?" Isabella quipped; Alice did have a history of taking advantage of the Master of Thunder church.

"I wouldn’t do that," Alice replied, "I’ll still need to leverage the family in the future, so how could I fish it dry?"

Then I thank you on behalf of the Leonis family.

Isabella joked.

"I traded them for supplies like food," Alice explained.

Under the erosion of the Black Tide, people could escape, but they couldn’t take much food. Plus, being on the brink of harvest time, this directly caused the price of grain on the only remaining continent in World No. 8 to soar.

In the life-and-death crisis of impending starvation, even the most precious magic materials became less valuable.

Alice bartered food for a large quantity of magic materials.

Her thinking was simple: sell these materials on the Dawn Continent, then use the money to buy food and resources, thereby acquiring enough resources to support the development of her territory.

"Your territory?" Isabella was a bit surprised to hear this term from Alice, "You already have your own territory?"

"Yes," Alice replied, "Things have reached this point, and there’s no point in fighting for inheritance anymore, so the family divided the lands equally among the heirs. The one who can best manage the territory if the Black Tide passes will become the master of this land."

"This underestimates human nature too much," Isabella scoffed, "Such actions clearly lead to irreversibility; eventually, the Leonis family will head towards division and internal strife."
