Alicia was the only one who had ever believed in Loki. She had absolute faith in Loki because he was a friend of God and God was omnipotent.

After the etiquette, Loki circled around the log once more, then looked up and down again, as if he was looking at something new and unfamiliar. His movements were like a monkey's. The people below all started chuckling at Loki's actions, so much so that they started laughing out loud. Kelvin Emery's eyes turned to Kelvin Katrina, waiting for her explanation. Kelvin Katrina, blushing, cursed Loki a hundred times in her heart. "Father," she said, "keep looking down."

Actually, Luo Qi was looking at the lines on the log and trying to cut it. It was just that his appearance was a bit wretched. After Luo Qi understood the situation in detail, he lifted up the carving knife and closed his eyes. He was searching for a feeling. Once he had a feeling, he would be able to finish carving this sculpture in one go. A one-time finish was not the same as an intermittent finish. The one-time work is smoother and more perfect.

However, his actions provoked another round of criticism. The people below began to talk, exchanging information about what they had seen, even betting that Lodge was a liar. As before, Kelvin Blatley's eyes turned again to Kelvin Katrina, who stamped her foot.

Just as Kelvin Katrina was about to end the farce. Loki moved, and he began to wave the carving knife. He moved not only the knife but his body, and the shadow of the knife grew fainter and fainter in his hand, and so did his body. Loki's body danced in the air around the statue. If it weren't for the wooden sawdust falling from the air, they would have thought it was a very elegant dance. Those with martial skills, however, saw the speed of the movement technique. They lamented the fact that using this speed for a martial skill was a great leap forward.

The light from Loki's sword painted a circle of light on the statue. The figure seemed to have a long tail, making it hard for people to determine his exact location. The statue's head and body began to slowly appear as the blade flashed. As he carved his feet, Lodge paused. Loki's pause this time did not cause any sound, and they were all shocked by him. The pause was short, and Loki's body danced again. Unlike before, he was flat, sticking close to the ground. Because his feet were in a lower position, this technique was more suitable for Luo Qi to use.

Not long after, Loki put away his knife and was done. Unlike the previous performance, there was no applause this time. Only a group of dementors, even Kelvin Katrina and Katie, had been attracted, and they had not seen Rocky perform. They had seen only the little sculptures that Rocky had carved, and so Roche had not shown his movements. The statue of Lodge was that of Emperor Kelvin Blatley.

The hair, eyebrows, and beard of the statue were clearly visible, giving off the impression that one could count them. Even Kelvin Blatley, with his somewhat large belly, was wrapped in the clothes that Rocky had designed. It was perfect and lifelike. Loki ignored the reaction of the others. After he was done, he walked up to Kelvin Emery and bowed. "Your Majesty, my work has been completed. I hope you like it."

Kelvin Emery, who had not been rude to Rocky because of his identity, said cheerfully, "Good, good, very good, Sir Billy. I will reward you heavily. " At this time, Kelvin Chaffin spoke up to stop him. "Father, I think that your reward should be given to Aemon Mahbut." Kelvin Blatley was embarrassed.

This reward was given to the best performers. Only one reward could be given to each of them. Kelvin Emery was ready to give it to Kelvin Katrina, but said it was reserved. But Eamonn Mabot was an advanced magician, and as it turned out, there were only two such people in the empire, and they were not to be had. He did not want to offend Eamonn Mabot for a small reward, and it would be a great loss to the empire if Eamonn Mabot left.

Kelvin Emery thought for a moment and couldn't think of a solution. When he saw the little girl, Alicia, beside him, he had an idea. He wanted to kick the ball at Alicia. Then Kelvin Emery said to Alicia, "Holy Lady Alicia, please judge the ownership of the reward on behalf of God."

Whatever decision the Holy Maiden made, Kelvin Emery could say God's will, so that Eamon Marbault would not say anything, and if Alicia had chosen Eamon Marbault, then the face of the heir to Kelvin Katrina would not be lost, because it was God who had decided, not the Emperor. Giving it to the successor was a custom passed down through the empire. Although there were no clear rules, all emperors did it this way.

Alicia's decision surprised Kelvin Elmer. She said, "If the performances are brilliant, then let's compete again. We will reward whoever wins the battle." Alicia thought that she was favouring Loki, but she didn't think that Loki would lose. More importantly, she also wanted to see Loki's abilities. Although there were many people who disagreed with Alicia's suggestion, no one brought it up because she represented the God.

Both Kelvin Chaffin and Eamon Marbot laughed. They thought that the Holy Maiden was favoring them, that he could stand shoulder to shoulder with a Golden Warrior for the sake of a mere squire. Kelvin Katrina and Katy had worried expressions on their faces. A high-level mage of the wind element was a natural enemy of a warrior. Even if Loki had the strength of a golden warrior, it would still be impossible for him to win. They all thought the reward belonged to Kelvin Chaffin.

Luo Qi looked indifferent. In a duel between a warrior and a mage, he felt that it would be possible if he didn't reveal his true strength. Of course, he didn't know that wind mages were terrifying to warriors. Unable to refute Alicia's opinion, Kelvin Blatley said to Loki, "Do you have an opinion, Sir Billy?" He was sure that Roche would refuse, and everyone present except Alicia thought so, including Kelvin Katrina and Katie.

Unexpectedly, Loki actually nodded in agreement. Catti-brie whispered anxiously, "This guy has never been reassuring." Kelvin Katrina looked at Katie and said, "Yes, but you can be assured that nothing will happen to him. It's not likely that Eamonn Marbott went too far at the birthday feast and did him no good."
