The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

"Aurora, help me find the way," Xingmo muttered, "I need a map."

"Oh~"

The tree-like outline spread out in Xingmo's mind, turning into a winding map.

As Aurora's perception spread, Xingmo was dumbfounded by the interconnected cave structure.

——This is almost an underground country.

Without guidance, you may not be able to reach the bottom even if you walk here for several days and nights.

It's no wonder that the soldiers wanted to interrogate the scholars. After all, the structure here is indeed too messy.

"..."

So, Xingmo led Elsie into the depths of the cave.

The deeper they went, the thicker the darkness became. Beyond the wand's light, filamentous structures appeared everywhere in the deep black, like threads created by the "Dark String".

"What are your plans after this incident?" Xing Mo suddenly spoke as they walked.

"Planning..." Elsie raised her head cautiously. "The mistress has been captured. I don't know when she will come back..."

"You can't follow your mistress all your life," Xing Mo said lightly, "otherwise, you will always have to live in fear."

Hearing what Dr. Jiedeti said, Elsie lowered her head:

"But... I don't know where to go... The Golden People have never been welcomed, let alone me..."

"Don't you have a fixed residence in New Galo?" Xing Mo was a little curious.

"...I have a little home and lots of friends," Elsie whispered, "but I haven't had the chance to go back for a long time."

Companions...Xingmo recalled the area near the ring city, where there were many Garo slums filled with ragged children.

Well...it's indeed not easy to settle down. With so many children, it's not easy to settle them down.

Is there a bigger place that would be perfect for them to live in and find a job?

When Xing Mo thought about it, the image of a castle suddenly appeared in his mind.

Got it, our "Architect" lady just happens to have a big house...

"If you don't mind, come with me. I've thought of a good place." Xing Mo said lightly.

"Hey?" Elsie raised her head. "Is it okay?"

Follow...Dr. Jiedeti?

For some reason, when Elsie thought of this, she felt an inexplicable throbbing.

warm.

"Don't worry, you'll have food and shelter, and no one will look down on you," Xingmo smiled at the dazed Elsie, "but there's a small prerequisite."

"What premise?" Elsie suddenly became nervous again.

"You must believe in the 'Tree of Life'," Xingmo said in an ethereal tone.

Then, she took a deep breath and tried her best to fulfill her duties as a saint:

"She is the deity who controls life. In this land filled with death, she spreads the supreme blessing, allowing all those who should not die to return to the path of life."

The god who controls life...Elsie suddenly thought of the mark on the back of her hand.

She recalled the comfort she heard when she was frightened, and the green light outlined on the back of her hand.

Is there really a god who favors those who are not believers?

Elsie clenched her fists and nodded slightly:

"it is good."

"You agreed so quickly?" Xing Mo was surprised.

"Because I think He must be a very gentle God."

Elsie smiled sweetly at Xingmo, then became a little worried:

"But... I'm useless. I don't have any powerful skills, and I can't do much for the gods..."

"That's not important," Xing Mo shook her head, "Your existence itself is precious enough."

"But I'm nothing special..." Elsie whispered.

Xing Mo smiled lightly:

“The extraordinary is undoubtedly a gift to life, but the ordinary is equally great.”

After that, she didn't say anything else and focused her attention on the road ahead.

Elsie, on the other hand, looked thoughtful, lost in thought.

In a blink of an eye, the slope of the cave became steeper and the sound of flowing water became more and more obvious.

Xing Mo could feel the blasphemous atmosphere lingering in the air - this was the same atmosphere she had felt before in Prince Austin's manor. It was a rich "anti-life element" compressed to the extreme.

This kind of blasphemous power... can actually form a river under the desert?

Xingmo activated the power of the "Tree of Life", and the green light formed a force field around her, keeping those blasphemous forces away.

The two walked in the darkness for another ten minutes. As the sound of the water became louder and louder, the cave in front of them became more and more spacious.

Finally, Xingmo walked out of the cave and came to the edge of a cliff.

Looking up from the edge of the cliff, the sky is dim, which shows that this place is very far from the ground.

A huge mechanical structure was hanging in the center of the deep well. It was a drill-like structure. The bronze machine was dim in the darkness, and only the blue light in the whale oil pipeline could be seen flashing.

Directly below the drill bit, Xingmo saw a pyramid-shaped object floating in the air.

The pyramid was slowly rotating, and as it moved, Xingmo saw string magic arrays engraved on all four of its faces.

Every time the string magic array flashed, the black liquid in the deep well would rise to a certain height out of thin air and then be sucked away by the machine above.

"That's it," Elsie pointed. "The mistress said that the large machine up there can be repaired if it's destroyed, but the core down there is very difficult to destroy."

Xing Mo narrowed his eyes, carefully observed the pyramid-shaped object, and made a preliminary judgment:

"It is a 'holy object'."

"Holy relic..." Elsie opened her mouth slightly.

In her opinion, holy objects are extremely powerful things, and a small person like her will never see one in her lifetime.

"Then...then...then how to destroy it..." Elsie began to stutter.

"Didn't your mistress tell you how to destroy it?" Xing Mo raised his eyebrows.

"She...she didn't have time to finish her explanation..." Elsie's voice gradually faded away. "But she told me that if we could disrupt the river beneath the well, that thing would be swallowed up."

"If that happens, the entire cave will be swallowed up," Xingmo said, "including you."

"Ah... is that so..." Elsie lowered her head.

Looking at her aggrieved look, Xing Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Ah... This hostess is really unreliable. Isn't it obvious that she is using people as consumables...

Xing Mo could almost imagine how many people the so-called hostess had instructed to do similar things, causing them to rush into the flames one after another.

Perhaps she realized that she was being targeted by the "Ocean Archon" and so she tried her best to protect herself.

According to Xing Mo's speculation, even if what was being done in the camp was instructed by the "Great Sage", this matter was not glorious enough to be told outside.

The price the "Marine Archon" threatened the hostess might be her reputation.

In order to protect her reputation, she sent a young girl down a deep well without any guarantee...

Just to erase the dirty work he was doing.

"Your mistress is really rude." Xing Mo said lightly.

Elsie, like a wronged little deer, lowered her head and dared not answer.

The next second, she felt a hand placed on her shoulder.

Looking up, I saw Dr. Jie Daiti's smile:

"It's okay, I can handle it."

10) Stranded Fish (Part 4) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

"..."

The pyramid-shaped machine was suspended in mid-air, pumping the black liquid below.

According to Xing Mo's speculation, this should be some kind of man-made sacred object similar to a "harp", and there should be extraordinary materials inside it that can pry the gravitational strings.

Based on its characteristic of floating alone in the air, it can be inferred that its energy supply should be drawn from the spiritual world and maintained by a string array.

That's easy.

"..."

Xing Mo turned his wrist, and the sharp blade of "Saint Nero's Rib" popped out, with a roar of metal.

The blade of this hidden blade exists in both the real world and the spiritual world, which means that in theory it can completely cut off the spiritual power supply of the holy object.

At the same time, "Saint Nero's Rib" has the power to control "curse", and those black streams also fall into the category of curse.

A plan was quietly born.

"Buzzing..."

Xingmo drove the spiritual power and gathered it on the blade of the hidden sword.

"Stand back," she whispered.

Elsie quickly took two steps back and stared nervously at the sharp blade on the inside of Dr. Jiedeti's wrist.

She was a little scared and a little worried.

"..."

After the spiritual power was gathered, Xingmo suddenly rushed towards the cliff.

The moment she jumped off the cliff, she thrust her hidden blade into the narrow gap—

"呲-"

In an instant, the shadows became darker and the light became brighter. The spiritual world of black and white came towards him and sucked Xingmo in.

In this space filled with chaotic light, a vortex of spiritual power hangs in the center of the space, rotating slowly.

That is what happens in the spirit world when the "holy object" draws spiritual power from the spirit world.

In fact, whether it is a "holy object" or a living being that can use supernatural powers, the essence of prying the string is to use the "supernatural factors" in one's own spiritual body to draw the original force from the spiritual world.

Then, the wizard shapes the spiritual power in the flow space, turning it into a tool that can pluck the "strings".

Generally speaking, it is more difficult to cut off the spiritual power vortex on a wizard in one go because the human spirit body has the ability to automatically repair itself.

But the "holy objects" are different.

They are lifeless, cold objects.

So once it is damaged, it needs to be repaired manually.
