"What happened?" Dan Heng asked Qiong with concern.

"Such a long memory, as if it were a lifetime ago..."

"Long? What are you talking about? You just stood here and didn't respond no matter how we shouted. The situation lasted for less than a minute, and then..." Dan Heng looked behind Qiong speechlessly. Mimi was there, floating in the air without any scruples.

Qiong slowly turned around and met Mimi's eyes.

Bai Erdu was a little amazed, "What a strange animal - it should be an animal, right? I have never seen one before."

Seeing Mimi's look, even Xiadie couldn't help but feel a surge of girlishness, "Cute little thing... Is it a gift from Oronis?"

Qiong shook his head, "I was glanced at by Fu Li."

When these words were spoken, people reacted differently.

Dan Heng's eyes widened unconsciously, "Fu Li? Just now?"

"'Fu Li'...what is that?" Bai'e asked in confusion.

"On the way to Ohma, I spoke to you about the 'Star Gods' beyond the stars—Fuli is one of them, in charge of the fate of 'memory'."

Bai'e suddenly realized, "Ah... 'Gods from the outer world, miracles that are difficult to see with the naked eye'... is that right? Does being able to gain a glimpse from a star god mean..."

Qiong pointed at Mimi beside him and told everyone that Mimi could help reshape the memory of Xuanfeng City to find the secret about Nicardoli, but they just needed to search for the memory.

then.

Everyone hurried back to Ohma.

……

After returning from Chongyuan, several people decided to split their forces into two groups.

Dan Heng and Bai'e went to support Wan Di, while Qiong took Mi Mi and Xia Die to collect memory fragments, trying to find a way to go to the past life of Xuanfeng City and crack Nicardoli's immortal body.

After collecting a fragment of the bard's memory and a fragment of the master craftsman's memory, Mimi brought the two of them to an old acquaintance.

"Here! Here! Memories, photos...collection!)"

Xiadie paused, observing carefully for a moment before speaking, "Is that... Damianos? Has Lady Aglaia released him?"

The corner of Qiong's mouth twitched, "That guy almost killed us!"

"He does have a bad reputation... If it weren't for his actions, you and Lord Danheng wouldn't be interrogated by Lord Aglaya. If Mimi believes he possesses valuable memories, then question him in person."

After Xiadie arrived at Damianos, she politely asked, "Excuse me, sir..."

"Huh? Who is it? I'm busy framing, please don't..." However, the moment he turned his head, his expression changed from impatience to joy. "Ah, it's Mr. Stranger. How are you? It hasn't been long since we last met..."

Qiong put his hands in his pockets, "You almost killed me before!"

"I'm so sorry. It was all my fault before. I was only focused on proving the existence of the 'Outer World'... Fortunately, Lady Aglaya was very kind. She simply made me swear an oath and then let me go home."

Please rest assured! I will never make the same mistake again. Even if I dare to break the agreement with that lady, what difference would that make me digging my own grave?

Qiong waved her hand, not wanting to listen any more. "Do you have any memories related to Xuanfeng City?"

"Piercing Blade City? For unarmed civilians like us, the territory of Nicadori is a forbidden area. Even in the past..." Damianos scratched his head, and suddenly, his pupils contracted. "Wait, you reminded me, Your Excellency... I have indeed been to Piercing Blade City. Please give me a moment..."

Damianos rummaged through his bag...

After a moment, he finally found an inconspicuous photo.

"Yes... yes, that's it! I can't believe I still have it..."

Qiong picked up the picture and looked at it carefully. There was a deep hard mark in the middle of the photo paper, and the content of the photo was the majestic Xuanfeng City.

“Excuse me, what’s the story behind this work?”

"Many years ago, as the Golden War neared its end, Xuanfeng City held its final festival. However, given the situation at the time, few citizens from other lands dared to participate.

I mustered up the courage to head to Xuanfeng City, only to discover the atmosphere of the ceremony was…unusual. It seemed as if the Xuanfeng people were preparing for some mysterious ritual.

I felt something was amiss, so I just took a photo outside the city and left... Who could have imagined what would happen next?"

[Wait a minute, this pressure, could it be some important foreshadowing? ]

[I feel the same way. Since he's a supporting character, isn't his role too much?]

[There are many starts and stops. To be honest, he appears for more time than Wan Di.]

[Isn't Scott just a supporting role? But he has a lot of screen time.]

[Scott is different. People like him because they want to see how joyful he can be, but this Aminos is obviously not a character like Scott.]

[And generally speaking, people like this should be killed immediately. After all, they know too much. Don't tell me that Aglaya is soft-hearted. Those in power can't be ruthless.]

[Who knows, I have a disease like Lao Mi, everything seems like foreshadowing. ]

-

After obtaining the photo of Damianos, Mimi took out a book, indicating that everything was done and they could go to Xuanfeng City.

Xiadie immediately exchanged information with Aglaiya, and after receiving the reply, the team of two people and one pet officially set off.

Meanwhile, Garden of Life.

An elder who looked somewhat older, Katniss, was standing in front of Aglaya and Tibao with a condescending attitude.

“Remember, Aglaia, whether we are members of the Golden Race or the Senate, our status is bestowed upon us by the citizens of Ohema.

Before you attempt to overstep your bounds and make judgments beyond your responsibility, think carefully about the Golden War and the final fate of those "heroes".

If you are not familiar with that period of history, let her teach you again."

Aglaya said calmly, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Katniss, under the guidance of the oracle, we will overthrow the gods; and in the new world promised by the prophecy, there will no longer be gods who are superior to mortals."

"Heh... I'll just accept your promise for now." The next moment, Katniss said sarcastically, "The spoiled girl back then has now grown into a shrewd political animal. Should I say it's a cause for celebration? Or is it a tragedy?"

"Times are changing rapidly, and people need to adapt. I'm not the only one determined to change, Your Excellency. My teacher and I have important matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving."

Katniss snorted coldly, "Heh... I sincerely hope that the next time the Council of Elders convenes, it won't be you who will be judged in the center of the circle."

After saying that, he left with a sneer.

Tibao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Aglaya, "Aya...are you okay?"

Aglaya smiled faintly. "It's just another empty threat, no different from before... it's just a manifestation of their inner fear."

"I'm so sorry, Aya... If *we* could be more mature, you wouldn't have to bear all this alone..."

"Why apologize? You and I are just doing our jobs."

"But seeing you constantly being bullied by them... *we* still feel sad and angry..."

Aglaia slowly raised her right hand, a golden thread wrapped around her fingertips. "Do you want me to slit their throats with it? It's easy. With your approval, I can make the Senate a thing of the past."

"W-What horrible things are you saying! D-don't scare us like that, Aya!"

"Haha." Aglaya laughed from the bottom of her heart for the first time. "I'm just kidding."

Tibao held his chest and said, "I knew you were joking...your way of comforting people is so unusual!

But... after you said that, *we* actually felt... somewhat refreshed. Thank you, Aya."

"Because we still have some humanity left, we want to find joy in adversity."

Suddenly, Tibao changed the subject and brought up a more serious topic. "So... what did Xiaobai and the others mention about 'infiltration'? Do you have any idea?"

"Don't worry. Even without their intelligence, I've already detected the undercurrent beneath the city. It's just a minor inconvenience, and I can handle it myself."

"Don't we need to notify the Holy City Guard?"

"That would alert the citizens of Ohema. If they knew the enemy had a way to bypass the Golden Born and infiltrate Ohema, the situation could get out of control."

"So, do you need *our* help with anything?"

"No need, Master. Let's follow the division of labor as previously agreed. You must prepare for the "Blade of Scourge."

"*We* understand... Aya, you have to do what you can."

After saying this, Aglaia left the Garden of Life alone.

-

After communicating with the tailor, she learned about several abnormal locations.

According to the nymph transformed by her ability, she came to the first anomaly.

Thousands of tough golden threads penetrated into the polluted cavity and pulled out the hidden creatures.

"Hey, oh! Who is it? Who is blind——"

A slime that looked like a snowman was pulled out by the golden thread.

"Bartus?" Aglaya looked at Bartus curiously.

"Ah...ah! Hehehe, it turns out to be Lord Aglaia! Praise "Fakler", every inch of your skin is as radiant as the dawn machine in the sky!" Bartus recognized his superior instantly.

"Don't you remember the name of the Heavenly Father? Is it Kefa—" Aglaia paused. "Well, I think you did it on purpose. Tell me, thief spirit, why do you hide in filth?"

[Uh, this sentence feels very deliberate.]

[It's so deliberate, as if telling you that this is a very important foreshadowing.]

[Are you possessed? Everything seems like a foreshadowing?]

-

"Well, of course... of course it's because we want to rid the citizens of Ohma of this evil, hahaha!" During the conversation, Bartulus pointed to the cave entrance nearby. "Look, the crazy stone monster that was originally hiding in there has already been chopped into eight pieces by our deft hands... hahaha!"

Aglaya inserted the golden thread into it and said, "Hmm... the traces of contamination have indeed disappeared."

"We wouldn't dare lie to you, Master Aglaya. You are the most respected person in all of Ohma..."

"Save the smooth talk, Thief... You know I can read your unease."

But the next moment, Aglaya's attitude suddenly softened. "On second thought, since you've appeared before me... then answer me one more question: Where is Saifeier?"

[Pado?]

【Fill the hair! 】

[Mihoyo loves to torture cats and dogs the most! ]

"Um... maybe you have a misunderstanding about our business? That gentleman and I are indeed in the same business, but that doesn't mean we're on the same side! We're more like competitors—enemies don't want to cross paths, haha!"

Aglaya didn't ask any more questions. "That's all. If you meet Saifei next time, tell her for me: As demigods, we can never shirk our duties."

But just when Bartrus wanted to escape, he was stopped by Aglaya.

In the end, all the things he had worked so hard to obtain ended up in Aglaya's treasury.

This made Bartulus extremely angry.

"You...you are a woman who has gilded a black heart! I don't want to see you again. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he disappeared from the sight with a whoosh.

"Good-bye, Bartulus—and don't forget to give my message to Sefir."

[Did you notice that when Aglaya mentioned Saifeier, her expression was very rich! ]

Shouldn't it be abundant?

[Aglaiya seemed to have said before that after becoming a demigod, she lost all her humanity.]

[Yes, this is another major foreshadowing! ]

-

As the plot progresses.

Aglaya came to a market alley.

She saw a little girl in front of her who was hesitating but reluctant to leave.

"Hello, kid."

The girl next to him remained indifferent.

Aglaya used the golden thread to touch her, and she immediately understood that this was a girl who could not hear.

Ugh……

She sighed unconsciously and gently touched the girl's shoulder.

The girl shuddered and immediately turned around to check.

Aglaya stretched out his arm and motioned the girl to do the same.

The golden thread gently wrapped around the girl's palm...now they were connected.

After learning that the girl's amulet fell into the filthy space, she used her powerful strength to directly destroy the monster.

Finally got back a bracelet.

She was about to give it back to the little girl, but the girl gave it to Aglaya.

It was just because the little girl thought Aglaia was really beautiful, just like the goddess Meneta recorded on the stone tablet, shining with golden light.

Then the little girl skipped away from here.

Only Aglaia was left, looking at the bracelet in her hand and lost in thought.

……

Not long after.

After everything was done, Aglaya returned to the Garden of Life.

She stopped and said, "Who's there? Show yourself before the golden thread is stained with your blood."

"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being a demigod. Even I, an assassin who has been doing "cleansing" for most of my life, can't escape your senses." Katniss, who appeared before, appeared again for some reason.

"Sir Katniss, what do you mean?"
