Chapter 63

Alice is not very good at doing housework.

Even when cleaning her own room, she uses an alchemical puppet to do the job. Operating a puppet to do housework is one thing, but doing it herself is another. For example, when sweeping the courtyard, the broom in her hand is even harder to handle than the heavy assault staff, the most difficult to use in the wand skills subject. She either uses too much force or can't sweep at all, and sometimes the dust flies up, almost making her cough. Looking at the broom in her hand, she suddenly felt an urge to flip the table—why do I have to do this kind of thing!

... But, it was annoying to watch this angel effortlessly and smoothly clean Sigma's house as if she were the owner, while she could only watch like a guest, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Due to this mindset, Alice's brain heated up, and she awkwardly picked up the broom and started cleaning.

But the result was obvious; at least in terms of housework, Alice was completely outmatched by Athena.

"You can't just brute force it; every task has its own technique," Athena said, walking out of the watchtower and taking the broom from Alice. "Everything in the world is worth doing with heart, because only with heart can you do it well. Sweeping the floor may seem easy, but to clean it efficiently and effectively, you need a bit of skill..."

She continued to mutter as she worked, the long broom in her hands coming to life, skillfully sweeping the ground. She used her hands to draw circles of various sizes on the ground, creating a vortex of wind that drew the dust and leaves into it, easily gathering them into a pile. She smiled at her work and said, "See, the principles of all physical labor are the same, using the least effort to achieve the greatest results. The key is the control of force, whether in battle or sweeping..."

This guy is possessed! She has been successfully conditioned!

For some reason, Alice really wanted to give Sigma a good review because he had slowly conditioned a great angel wielding a holy sword into a versatile maid with all kinds of household skills, and the other party not only did not resist but also enjoyed it, with no mental change or damage, acting as if it were completely natural. If those guys knew, they would definitely treat Sigma as a VIP...

Thus, after personally witnessing the increasingly proficient maid skills of the main battle angel in rune armor, when Athena finished the housework, Alice finally had time to talk to the angel. Athena patted the dust off her hands and said, "So, what do you need?"

After all the fuss, Alice's initial anger had long subsided, and she couldn't muster the energy to burst out in anger. She could only ask coldly, "I want to ask you, what are your intentions?"

"Intentions?" Athena asked curiously, "I just want to regain my power and pick up the holy sword again."

"Only that?" Alice pointed to the spotless living room and laughed bitterly, "Looking at you, anyone would think you plan to live with Sigma forever!"

"Why live with Sigma forever? He is a necromancer with his own family and career. I am an angel and will eventually return to heaven. We have no reason to live together forever," Athena blinked. "But for now, I can only live with Sigma. As that person said, the holy sword chose Sigma, indicating that he has a quality recognized by the Azure Wrath. I have been searching for the most shining quality in him..."

Alice recalled her memories of Sigma, trying to find his bright spots and good qualities. Clearly, these good qualities existed but were overshadowed by one particularly shining trait. She pursed her lips, "The most shining trait? You mean lack of principles?"

"Lack of principles?" Athena repeated the unfamiliar word, curious, "Principles? What is that? Why does Sigma lack principles?"

Alice was taken aback, looking at the serious Athena, a mischievous thought suddenly struck her. Hesitating for a moment, she started to talk nonsense, "I don't know much about principles, but I often hear Sigma say that principles are external things, obstacles that prevent living beings from progressing, the root cause that binds human souls within the gravitational field. Only by abandoning principles can human souls be liberated..."

Seeing Athena nodding in agreement, Alice felt a slight pang of guilt, but the insignificant sense of guilt was quickly overshadowed by the strong sense of achievement in deceiving the angel. "Sigma, I'm just repeating what you said," she convinced herself and continued, "I think the biggest characteristic of Sigma's personality is that he has almost abandoned all his principles. Because of the lack of these burdens, his soul is clear and light. Perhaps that's why he was recognized by the holy sword and could draw the Azure Wrath, which others can't lift..."

She clapped her hands and solemnly concluded, "Yes, Sigma is the most principle-less person in all of Atlas and the entire necromancer nation."

"Oh, oh, oh..." Athena clapped involuntarily, "That sounds amazing!"

"Of course," Alice barely suppressed her urge to burst out laughing and continued to instill incorrect values into the angel, "I'm not boasting for him, but his lack of principles is rare in the entire continent, probably countable on one hand..."

"So!" Athena suddenly realized, "If I want to pick up the Azure Wrath again, I need to abandon my principles?"

... So easily hooked! How gullible is this girl!

Alice was both surprised and hesitant. If it were Sigma, he would definitely take advantage of the situation and leave Athena with nothing. But although Alice was a bit mischievous, she still had plenty of principles. For a moment, she didn't know whether to stop or kick this naturally dense and clueless angel into the abyss.

Fortunately, Athena made the choice for her.

The angel held Alice's hand with a grateful look and said sincerely, "Thank you so much for explaining this to me. You really helped a lot. If you hadn't pointed out the key issue, I would have been at a loss. I must apologize to you because the strange smell from you made me prejudiced and think you were a violent, perverted, unreasonable, and nonsensical little dwarf. Now I see that the beings of Noren are not as cunning and evil as I imagined. Many things can't be judged by hearsay; only personal experience can lead to the correct conclusion. Please be my friend—oh, what's your name again?"

Alice's expression stiffened, and she forced a smile, "My name is Alice."

Her anger, which had gradually subsided, quickly flared up again.

Strange smell? Violent? Perverted? Unreasonable? Nonsensical? Little dwarf? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

You perverted, seductive, strong, perverted, clueless, naturally dense, and inarticulate big-buttocked cow-bird!

You are too presumptuous! With such a mouth, even Sigma can't protect you! I'll make you die in a minute!

She gritted her teeth and forced a slightly sinister smile, "As for how to learn to abandon principles and become a principle-less angel, you need to ask Sigma. I heard that the method of abandoning principles is a precious secret technique that Sigma will not easily teach. So you need to seriously request Sigma to teach you. Learning a secret technique is a solemn matter, and you need to carefully adjust your attire, language, actions, and attitude..."

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, please guide me, what should I do?"

"First, change your maid outfit. There's too much fabric on the chest. Take off the undergarment and change to a low-cut style..."

"Eh, eh, eh, why do I need to do that?"

"You don't know, Sigma's method of losing principles is a unique secret technique in the entire continent, his most precious thing. When asking for someone's most precious thing, you need to expose your chest to show respect. This is common sense, do you understand? What are you hesitating about now? If you're not willing to expose your chest, how can you say you want to pick up the holy sword again?"

"O... Okay, just this once..."
