Wait.

Mielle suddenly noticed a very important issue.

What's up with Alice?

Mielle's attention was quickly drawn to Alice beside her.

At some point, Alice had already stood up.

She gazed outside, standing with hands behind her back, facing away from everyone.

Mielle gently reached out her hand, wanting to touch Alice and asked somewhat tentatively, "Alice?"

"Humph!"

But Alice just brushed aside Mielle's hand, smiling inexplicably.

"Alice, are you alright?"

Mielle felt a bit frightened seeing Alice's condition.

Being spoken to, Alice seemed to become excited all of a sudden.

"The pinnacle of all cards, the pride of the world, it is I, the Princess, stood in the heavens!

Alice turned around, dramatically reciting this line.

Looking at her expression, it seemed like she was a bit delirious, immersed in her own fantasy.

"I, Alice, possess the disposition of a special class card maker!"

Once Alice started, she couldn't stop spouting various nonsense.

"Please, Alice, stop it..."

Mielle remembered that these were lines from the stories Dekan told Alice on the way.

Although Alice had expressed strong resistance to those lines after hearing them.

But in reality...

Mielle noticed that Alice desperately wanted to recite those lines.

She probably looked forward to the day when she could create an epic card and deliver the most pretentious lines in front of everyone.

"Have a nap, Alice."

Mielle took out [Hypnotic Gas].

She had to knock out Alice.

If Alice woke up and found that her unrestrained behavior had been seen by others, she would probably cry again.

Unfortunately

"Ah, what is..."

A surprised voice came from behind Mielle.

She was a step too late.

As the highest-ranking figure in the audience, the Knight Commander quickly recovered from the influence of [Rampant Desires]. Afterall, he didn't have strong desires at the moment.

The Knight Commander, seeing Alice's state, was also astonished.

This was the last thing he could imagine. For his career, it was something that he absolutely shouldn't see.

His brain also went a bit haywire.

In the future, Princess Alice might need a new guard.

Otherwise, every second would be torture for each other...

"Alice, Im sorry but I can't help you..."

Mielle covered her face, as if she were repenting.

...

Dekan looked at the flames outside the cockpit window and nodded in satisfaction.

He was quite pleased with the aerial bomb sent by the Resurgence Church.

This Resurgence Church-produced aerial firecracker was extremely well made.

Dekan never thought he could experience such a strong New Year celebration atmosphere in this world.

It was truly magical.

Should the opportunity come in the future, I should visit the Resurgence Church for the New Year and bring them some New Years gifts.

Dekan stared at the card [Rampant Desires] again.

He felt unwilling to ever let it go.

Among all the tier 3 cards he had created so far, if there was one he was most satisfied with, it had to be [Rampant Desires].

His love for this card even surpassed [Blood Purification].

In the future, when his rank was higher, he definitely wanted to create an evolved version.

Although Dekan fully understood the uncontrollability and danger of [Rampant Desires] since he last used it in the deserted mountain villa, for some reason, he still felt a massive desire to use it.

It had an irresistible charm.

Using this card in public places would be extremely unethical.

[Rampant Desires] could easily affect friendly forces and neutral units, catching them off guard and causing their demise.

But

In a crisis such as this times airship hijacking incident Dekan only used [Rampant Desires] because of tactical needs!

As such, it was a proper usage of the card.

One could even say that it was a necessary action!

It was definitely not Dekan who wanted to play around.

"All powerful cards come with risks, wahahaha!"

Dekan laughed, stood up, and prepared to return to the cabin to see what interesting scene was happening there now.

"You've been affected, havent you?"

Dekan heard the familiar voice in his mind again.

However, this time around, it seemed like his Master didnt just wake up.

She might have been watching for a long time and only spoke at this moment.

"How could that be? If I were drunk with desires, could I still resist provoking you?" Dekan sneered and asked.

Master: "?"

Dekan felt his heart tremble suddenly. It was as if an invisible hand had gently tapped on his heart.

Very gentle, yet very cold.

His Master's implication was that the next time wouldn't be so gentle.

"I really haven't gotten carried away. Do you know what my biggest desire is right now?"

Dekan quickly changed the topic.

This old ha... Master of mine, I can't mess with her anymore.

Master: "I don't know."

Dekan: "Actually, my biggest desire right now is to use [Rampant Desires] again. But I held back because I have a public spirit and moral principles. This is the best proof that I haven't gotten carried away."

"..."

Dekans Master didn't speak again.

She seemed unsure how to evaluate Dekan.

However, just as Dekan was ready to continue completing his daily task.

"Humm humm!"

The entire airship suddenly shook violently.

Dekan, who had just reached the cockpit door, almost lost his balance. He quickly reached out and grabbed the handle of the cockpit door.

"What's happening?"

Such a significant jolt couldnt be caused by encountering air currents or external attacks.

The pilot!

Dekan quickly turned around to look at the pilot's seat.

He saw that the pilot, for some unknown reason, was steering the ship with one hand. In his other hand held a bottle of alcohol; he desperately poured it into his mouth!

"Gulp, gulp, gulp."

Gulping down on the bitter alcohol and feeling the slight throbbing pain to his chest, the pilot appeared extremely sentimental.

The bottle of alcohol in his hand looked like it was almost finished.

The pilot wiped his mouth with his sleeve, reached under the seat into a cabinet, and fumbled around, seemingly searching for a second bottle.

Dekan hurriedly ran back to the pilot and found that the pilot was already intoxicated. Leaning on the control console, his cheeks were flushed, his head was swaying, and he seemed like he could collapse at any moment!

"Ahhhh! Why would you, a pilot, want to drink while working?!" Dekan shouted in anger.

This scoundrel!

His desire was to drink alcohol!

Why would a pilot even think about drinking on the job?!

And why was there even alcohol in the cockpit?!

Dekan had originally planned to go to the passenger cabin to observe.

However, it was delayed by this irresponsible pilot.

Dekan decided that when they reached Tristin City, he would definitely report this pilot.

But for now, he couldn't worry about that.

When the waves are surging, when the buildings are about to collapse, it is I, Dekan, who must turn the tides, who must support the buildings!

"Move aside!"

Dekan forcefully pushed the reckless pilot aside and sat in the main pilot's seat.

Ace pilot Dekan officially entered the battle!

Bringing safety and smiles to everyone was his mission!
