"...Of course, not used on humans."

As expected, driving this ancient language is like a "mantra", requiring a huge amount of spiritual power as a price.

But its power is much more dangerous than "truth", at least that's the word.

"This research cannot be leaked..." Xing Mo murmured.

"Actually, it doesn't matter even if it's a side story, otherwise I wouldn't dare to show it to you like this." Luffy smiled.

It doesn't matter if it's a side story...? Xing Mo was wondering, and Luffy continued:

"Because, there is another requirement to activate the 'Song of the Sand', and that is that the blood of the Golden People must flow through your body!"

"Furthermore, it must be relatively pure blood. Many of today's Golden People are actually mixed-race people of the Ancient People and the Garo people. Based on their bloodline, it should be difficult for them to drive this power."

Is this really the case...an ancient natural language that requires blood as its foundation?

"But why is this happening?" Xing Mo felt strange.

"I speculate that this should be determined by the will of the Golden King," Luffy explained.

"But why...?" Xingmo frowned.

Yes, the "Golden King" hopes that all the golden people will have the power to drive the "Song of Sand", but he has not told them the specific content of this power at all?

Xingmo's intuition told her that something was wrong.

"In short, although I don't know why you can sense that it was me who sang the 'Song of the Sand'..." Luffy leaned back slightly, "but my intuition tells me that you are a good girl..."

"Thank you for your trust," Xing Mo nodded. "Please forgive me. I must get to the bottom of this and eliminate some uncertainties."

"Are you referring to what our emperor is about to do?" Luffy's voice was inexplicably a little vicissitudes of life.

"Yes."

Xing Mo hesitated for a moment, then spoke abruptly:

"Mr. Luffy, I'd like to know your opinion on the Golden King's impending war against the Citadel."

"Of course I'm against it," Luffy exhaled. "Most of the Golden People are still trudging through the desert, but the already limited supplies are still being sent to the front lines. For the empire... this is making things even worse."

His old eyes suddenly became hazy, like a rock exposed in the sand after being weathered, hard, but still retaining the warmth of the sun.

"This power may be able to change something. I hope my research can have some practical significance..."

"You must be cautious with this research," Xingmo advised. "Anything that harms the Golden King might bring you trouble."

Unexpectedly, Luffy smiled slightly after hearing this:

"That's why you, little girl, don't understand the academic environment of the Empire. In the oasis of New Garo, any academic subject can be openly discussed, including those taboo dark ritual magics, which contain many spells far more terrifying than this."

"This is also why many scholars, despite studying in the academic city of Academi, eventually return to New Garo. Only such a superior academic environment can retain talent."

So that's how it is...Xingmo nodded, thoughtfully.

After a while, she asked:

"Then I have another request, I don't know if it's too abrupt."

"Speak, little girl, and I will do my best to satisfy you."

"I want to copy one," Xingmo pointed, "I have a friend who also likes similar ancient texts, and I want to show it to her."

Of course, I'm referring to Aurora.

"Of course," Luffy said gently, "In fact, I have a copy here, you can just take it."

After that, Luffy took out another roll of parchment from the drawer and handed it to Xingmo.

"Take it, if it can help your friend..."

......

After coming out of Mr. Luffy's room, Xingmo walked quickly towards his own box with a roll of parchment in his hand.

On the way, she met the two guerrillas again. They had spoken rudely to Xingmo before, but when they saw Xingmo, they took the initiative to greet her with respect.

It seems that Chloe has told them about me...Xingmo muttered in her heart.

To be honest, Xingmo wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible. Before setting off this time, she and Aurora made three rules, agreeing that they should hide their whereabouts as much as possible in Winter County.

Who would have thought that before Aurora could be high-profile, she would be the first to do so.

I have to be high-profile... There's no other way, I can't just wait for that giant dragon to flip the train over...

While thinking, Xingmo's sigh was drowned out by the roar of the rails.

Before she knew it, she was back in her box.

When Xingmo opened the door, she saw Aurora sitting on the bed drinking a cup of hot cocoa, her two legs in white stockings swaying in the air.

"Are you back?" Aurora gave Xingmo a cute look.

This little guy is so cute...Xingmo suddenly felt warm.

She placed the parchment and dragon horn on the desk, then sat down beside the bed and rubbed Aurora's head.

"Is my head so easy to rub?" Aurora muttered, taking another sip of hot cocoa.

"People who keep cats also like to pet their cats. Isn't this normal?" Xing Mo said with a smile.

It was only then that she belatedly realized she was tired—whether it was from the spiritual power she had overdrawn in battle or the cold wind on the roof of the car, a feeling of discomfort suddenly surged into her chest, causing her body to go limp.

Noticing Xingmo's expression, Aurora hesitated for a moment, as if she had made a great decision, and then held the steaming cup to Xingmo's lips:

"Here, one last bit."

The hot air felt comfortable on her little face, which was a little red from the cold, and made Xingmo squint her eyes slightly.

She placed her lips on the still wet rim of the cup without hesitation and drank all the hot cocoa in it.

The hot aroma of chocolate and milk flowed through her throat, making Xingmo let out a satisfied "hmm".

"It's worthy of being the drink I mixed..." Xingmo put down the cup and sighed.

"Shouldn't you be praising me for my gentleness?" Aurora protested. "I'm just caring about you!"

"Oh, yes." Xingmo lowered her head and rubbed Aurora's head. "That's really good."

"Gu...don't treat me like children!" Aurora said angrily.

What should we do then? Xing Mo stuck out her tongue helplessly, indicating that there was nothing she could do.

This little guy has such a weird temper.

"Let's not talk about this," Xing Mo straightened up, "I want to show you two things."

"I don't want to watch it! It makes me sad!" Aurora turned her head away.

"I wanted to go to the train kitchen to make some stew at noon," Xingmo suddenly raised her head, "Let me think about it... If I were to stew..."

"Don't be sad anymore! Show us!" Aurora's eyes lit up.

A god who is easy to deal with.

As the saying goes, to capture a woman, you must first capture her stomach! No one can resist delicious food!

This is the true way to tame the evil god! It is to make her unable to leave you forever...

...dishes!

"Cough cough."

Xingmo cleared his throat, drew out his wand, and gathered his spiritual power.

After catching that unusual signal, she played a tune lightly in the air—

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a black string appeared in the space, and when it appeared, the whole room dimmed a little.

Seeing the string, Aurora narrowed her eyes slightly and murmured:

"what's wrong?"

"This string was manipulated by the 'puppeteer' who attacked the train this time," Xingmo muttered. "I've never seen a string like this before. It's obviously not a 'shadow string'. Its properties are different."

Aurora thought for a moment, then stepped forward and did something that shocked Xingmo—

——She licked the string with her tongue!

"Um..."

Amid Xingmo's dumbfounded expression, Aurora turned around and gave her a bright smile:

"Congratulations on achieving a remarkable result of 319th place in the Dark String competition, surpassing 99.9 percent of wizards in the world!"

"'Dark String'?" Xing Mo frowned.

"The natural powers of resonance are 'Destruction, Life, and Domination,'" Aurora said. "Coincidentally, these are exactly the powers of the 'Invisible Mist.'"

Collapse... Life... Domination... Indeed, this is the power manifested by the "Invisible Mist".

"How do you know?" Xing Mo asked for some unknown reason.

Unexpectedly, Aurora was slightly stunned when asked this question, and then turned her head away awkwardly.

"I want you to take care of..."

Huh? Not really? Why are you still shy?

Looking at Aurora's slightly blushing face, Xingmo cleared his throat and said:

"Oh, stewing does take time. If you don't have enough time, it might..."

"Let's just say it!"

Aurora threw herself onto the bed in despair and rolled over.

"I'm all ears~" Xingmo smiled.

"Because the power of the Dark String is the power of the Winter Messenger's Divine Remains," Aurora said unhappily. "We were able to descend upon his Divine Remains! Of course you know that!"

Oh, it's the source of power that Aurora briefly possessed during the "Arrival of the Little Ancestor of Mortiheim" incident, but was arbitrarily blocked by the "Supreme Praiser".

No wonder I feel embarrassed to talk about it, it’s my dark history.

Everyone has a dark history. You just lost your power in that incident, but I became...

...Huh? Now that I think about it, there's nothing wrong with being a girl...

At least it was legitimate for Xingmo to share a cup of hot cocoa with Aurora just now. In the past, Xingmo would not dare to share a cup with Senior Alice or Miriam like this. After all, there are differences between men and women, and it would be shy.

No... Now that I think about it, I actually shared a cup with Aurora!

Xingmo opened her mouth slightly, and her cheeks also flushed slightly.

Well... I seem to be still very shy...

"...?"

At this time, Aurora on the side seemed to notice that something was wrong with Xingmo.

The big red eyes rolled around, and evil thoughts emerged.

Before Xingmo could react, Aurora attacked fiercely and pressed Xingmo onto the bed!

"Hey! What are you doing..." Xingmo's pupils widened.

"You." Aurora replied calmly.

The next second, she stretched out her hand, reached directly into Xingmo's clothes, and pulled off the "Angel's Tears"!

"Hehe~ Now you can't resist~"

Aurora had a bright smile on her face, looking like she had succeeded in doing something evil.

"Train~Bed~Hmm~familiar feeling~"

Xing Mo, who was held down, subconsciously wanted to resist, but she had just fought for so long that she had no extra strength.

Not to mention that the one holding her down was an evil god! Evil god!

There was no chance to bargain at all. Vines climbed up the bed from all directions and tightly bound Xingmo's limbs.

Xing Mo held it in for a long time before muttering softly with a blushing face:

"Aurora... stop... stop making trouble..."
