Chapter 145: A competent tool, worthy of praise!
Eve looked up in surprise at Sophia, who was about to speak, and after a long while, she slowly nodded.
"you say."
Sofia did not hesitate any longer and recounted the whole story of how she encountered the Fool's Trick, how she followed him to try to capture him, and even the dream and the things he wanted her to do.
Eve had initially thought that Sophia simply wanted to add some details to the matter of the slave traders.
But I never expected him to be so amazing right from the start.
In particular, the use of dreams by the Foolish Calamity and Sophia's experiences in the dream made Eve's beautiful eyes narrow slightly.
If it were just a simple dream, she might not have a big reaction, only feeling that her ability to fool calamities had changed.
But when Sophia described the emotional changes she experienced in her dream, she realized that the calamity of the fool might not just be a change in abilities.
His strength has likely grown to a point where he is difficult to deal with.
Even Eve, after hearing Sophia's entire description, believed that the current Foolish Calamity was definitely more than an S-level calamity.
level.
Such power, such a terrifying dream, to define the opponent as an S-class calamity is an insult to the Foolish Calamity.
Of course, whether it's insulting or not is not important to Eve.
Importantly, if we continue to define the Foolish Calamity as an S-level calamity, it may cause many unnecessary casualties in the future.
As an imperial princess, she had experienced many things and naturally understood the importance of intelligence.
Sometimes, accurate information can save many lives.
Similarly, a single piece of false intelligence can cost the lives of all those carrying out a mission, causing many unnecessary casualties.
At this moment, Eve's mind was swirling with thoughts, and she felt no fatigue whatsoever.
Seeing this, Sophia had no intention of speaking, so as not to disrupt Princess Eve's train of thought.
After a long while, Eve seemed to have made a decision, and looked up at Sophia below.
"Sophia, you're very fast. I'd like to ask you to do a few things for me."
Eve's expression and tone were very serious, making Sophia suddenly realize that what she was about to do was bound to be very important.
His expression immediately turned serious, and he lowered his head slightly. "Your Highness, please give your orders, and I will fulfill them."
'
"Go to the base first, and according to your idea, change the calamity level of the Foolish Calamity to SSS level."
The first thing Eve gave was enough to make Sophia suddenly raise her head and look incredulously at the princess, whose face was full of solemnity.
To be honest, her idea of raising the Calamity of Fool's Trick to SSS level was just that—an idea.
When I was recounting what happened, I only mentioned it casually and never thought it would actually happen.
After all, upgrading the level of calamity requires strict review by the Empire or the Church.
Since the calamity archives within the base are managed by the Empire, any attempt to upgrade the calamity level of the Fool's Calamity would naturally require approval from the Empire's high command.
But now, Eve made the decision directly, without waiting for the approval of the imperial high command.
"Don't worry, I will explain this to my father in person when I have the chance."
Eve directly pointed out Sophia's inner worries, and then proceeded to give the next instruction.
"Go to the palace and inform the king about what's happening here, and tell him that I'm preparing to use the church to try and eliminate the calamity of foolishness."
When she said this, her expression seemed even more serious than before.
A similar uproar swept through Sofia's heart, and the color drained slightly from her face.
There's no way around it; the meaning behind that statement is simply too terrifying.
This is tantamount to Princess Eve preparing to send members of the church to their deaths, intending to use this opportunity to weaken the church's power.
Silence. At this moment, Sofia could only nod in agreement and remain silent.
She might also share her thoughts on raising the calamity level of the Fool's Curse.
However, she dared not speak up easily about the church, lest she get herself into trouble.
"Alright, go and take care of these two things. Oh, and while you're at it, tell Su Tu about my plan. If possible, have him come over here to assist me as well."
After Eve finished speaking, she gently waved her hand, signaling Sophia to follow her orders.
Seeing this, Sophia had no intention of staying any longer. She bowed and left the room, heading straight to the Royal Scout Station.
Shortly after she left, Eve summoned Lira again and asked him to spread some rumors.
For example, an S-class calamity is lurking in the East District, waiting for an opportunity to ambush the church's high-ranking officials.
Once everything was arranged and Eve was sure there were no major oversights, she finally let out a soft sigh of relief.
"Phew, hopefully the church can kill the calamity of foolishness."
Eve had no intention of letting an SSS-class calamity hide in the capital; it was no different from having a time bomb under her pillow.
The calamities of fooling around may not seem to affect ordinary people now, but what about in the future?
No one can guarantee that he won't take action now or in the future.
A calamity with such power would be difficult to react to once it decides to act, and would cause massive casualties in an instant.
As an imperial princess, Eve, who harbors a deep love for the people, would naturally not allow such a threat to exist.
With the church's strength, it could still eliminate the calamity of foolishness by paying a huge price.
The church will suffer heavy losses, and the time bomb of the calamity of deception will be defused, making it a perfect strategy that kills two birds with one stone.
Even the chain reaction caused by the heavy losses suffered by the church will have far more than just a minor impact on the Empire.
If used properly, it could potentially bring the church to the same level, unlike now, where we are being subtly overtaken by the church.
While she was pondering this, Lila had already begun spreading the news in the East District.
From the first time he saw the princess, he was deeply attracted by her appearance and temperament.
In subsequent interactions, I was completely impressed by her patriotism and love for the people.
Now that the princess has personally assigned him the task, he naturally dares not slack off and works with great enthusiasm.
A rumor about a calamity caused by fooling around is gradually brewing in Dongcheng District.
Since the Royal Scouts were experts in these areas, the rumors naturally took much longer to develop.
The Royal Scout Station was located there; Sophia had traveled from the East District to this location in just over ten minutes.
At this moment, she stood at the door of Su Tu's office, panting heavily, her face pale from rushing there.
bang bang bang—
At that moment, she didn't care whether the knocking was too noisy; she just pounded on the door.
A moment later, a sound came from the door, and Su Tu's calm face slowly appeared under her gaze.
The other person seemed to notice her pale face, and their brows twitched slightly.
"Sophia? Weren't you in the East District? What are you doing here?"
Faced with Su Tu's question, Sophia did not answer directly, but immediately told Su Tu everything Eve had told her.
After listening, Su Tu remained outwardly calm, at most showing a thoughtful expression.
But deep down, he felt a sense of surprise and delight, and couldn't help but want to give Eve a thumbs up.
"The plan to use the church to gain fame was just finalized, and Eve already had everything in place? She truly is a competent tool; kudos to her!"
