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

She doesn't like greasy food very much, so mushrooms, fried eggs and some bacon are enough for her.

As for the remaining large amount of meat, it basically all belonged to Aurora.

"Oh, right," Aurora mumbled as she ate. "What the hell...oh my god...are you a pig?"

"Swallow it and then talk."

"Gulu... Just, Prince Austin, do you have any ideas?"

When Prince Austin was mentioned, Xingmo thought of the "Tears of Angels" and the missing Bishop Frye, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It would be very difficult for us to investigate alone. There are many imperial immigrants in the South City, which is equivalent to Prince Austin's sphere of influence. If we ask about Bishop Frye in a place like that, it wouldn't be surprising if someone on the street dragged us into an alley."

"Drag me into the alley? Wouldn't that make it easier for us to silence me?" Aurora said to Sausage.

"Anyway, it's unsafe," Xing Mo said, "Let me get some information from the instructor."

"Oh~" Aurora seemed unhappy, "Teacher Lucius seems to like you quite a bit~"

"Yes, he told me that I seemed to have the best talent among all the sanxian players in this class, so he liked to assign me homework." Xing Mo lied calmly.

"Build up your connections and get them to serve us," Aurora muttered.

The two of them devoured their breakfast in a flash. Ten minutes later, Xingmo dragged Aurora to the "History and Mythology" classroom in the North Tower.

This is a classroom with a strong historical atmosphere. Torn cloths of various colors hang from the vaulted ceiling, and huge totems are carved on the marble walls, depicting the scene of mankind's journey through endless eternity.

Professor Reynolds, the middle-aged man who taught the history class, spread out his lesson plan on the podium with a serious expression and began to narrate in his voice, which lacked any rhythm or inflection:

"In the eternal night before the Age of Gods, the People of the Mist trudged through the darkness, struggling to survive on the quagmire of the earth."

"That eternal night originates from the endless breaths of Obragus, the Dark Moon Dragon. He roams the eternal darkness, hunting any creature that raises its head from the earth. From giants to elves, from demihumans to humans, even those weak dragons and demigods, all are his prey."

“Therefore, He is also known as the ‘Infinite Dragon’, the ‘Terrible Roar of Eternal Night’, and the ‘Black Wings Symbolizing Disaster and Death’.”

"He turned the earth into his hunting ground. The meaning of all life was to become his nourishment. The fire of civilization was never ignited."

"But that day, everything changed."

The professor knocked on the blackboard, and a golden mural emerged - it was a magnificent mural, in which humans walked out of the fog and looked up at the sky dyed golden.

"Golden light descended from the sky, and golden stars lit up the eternal night sky, illuminating the earth."

"The Folk of the Mist witnessed the divine war in the sky. That war tore a huge hole in the southeast of the Vesta continent. Seawater poured in, forming an ocean within the continent. That is the 'Intermediate Sea' that now borders our academy to the north."

"Finally, the 'Dark Moon Dragon' was slain by the goddess. His head was severed and fell to the north of the continent of Vesta. His body was placed in the night sky by the goddess, forming a pale blue moon—that was the result of his evil deeds. From then on, it became a crescent moon that illuminated the night."

"But Obragus never stopped cursing the world. From his head in the far north of the continent, he breathed out an extremely cold storm, turning the entire north into a forbidden zone for all living things. Those prehistoric mythical creatures were frozen forever, while the Folk of the Mist, guided by the goddess, fled to the south, finding a glimmer of hope."

"That eternally frozen land is called 'Mortiheim.' We have yet to explore its boundaries, but one day, we will carry out the goddess's will to the end of the ice field and end the curse that the 'Darkside Dragon' has placed on the world."

5) Gold (Part 2)

Professor Renault kept talking at the podium, and Xingmo almost fell asleep listening to him.

To be honest, Xingmo had always been an excellent student. She had always been at the top of the class in courses like "String Music" and "Basics of Alchemy", and she quickly completed the credits ahead of time.

But the "History and Mythology Class"...she still can't forget the pain of memorizing it.

Especially regarding the "Dark Moon Dragon" Obragus. The existence of that dragon god is said to have extended an entire genealogy, which has been divided into the current major dragon factions. Some family names are still pure dragon characters, and memorizing them is almost like killing someone.

Just as Xingmo was dozing off, she suddenly heard a soft laugh from Aurora beside her.

She turned around and found Aurora listening to the professor's lecture with great interest.

"Are you listening?" Xing Mo asked boredly.

"What's so hard about listening to stories? It's just like reading a novel," Aurora smiled. "After all, aren't these myths all made up?"

Made up? Xing Mo frowned slightly and asked:

"These stories are written in the Xinghai Canon."

"That means your goddess lied to you," Aurora muttered. "For example, the idea that the moon in the sky is made of a dragon's body is totally untrue. I've seen it before, and it's not that cute."

"No?" Xing Mo frowned, "Then what do you think the moon looks like?"

"The Five-Stringed Saint probably won't know, but maybe you can give it a try once you become a Demigod~"

Aurora blinked.

"Or rather, after you help me enter the White Tower, I'll show you around."

"What on earth are you going to do in the White Tower..." Xing Mo murmured.

"Stealing your goddess's tribute." Aurora obviously didn't want to answer.

"..."

The professor continued to talk incessantly. Xingmo felt a little sleepy, so she supported her head with her hands and squinted her eyes to rest.

I have to wait until Wednesday to exchange information with Professor Lucius, and I don’t know how the progress is with my senior.

As Xingmo thought about it, her consciousness gradually became blurred.

Half asleep and half awake, she seemed to see golden light falling from the sky.

......

South City.

Next to the wooden counter of the grocery store, a man was writing a letter with a slight smile on his lips.

A yellow robe draped over his broad shoulders was embroidered with patterns of gold and diamonds, the common symbol of the empire's golden people.

At this time, the wind chimes at the door of the store rang and the sound of light footsteps was heard.

"Welcome," the man raised his head, "Excuse me--"

His words got stuck in his throat before he could finish them - the person who walked into the store was a white-haired girl with ice-cold eyes. Her expression looked so gentle, but the icy flame in her eyes made people want to kneel down involuntarily.

It's her...! The man roared with all his might:

"Run! The Bell Guardian is coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned over the wooden table and punched Vivian who came in.

Unexpectedly, the girl just raised her hand, and her slender arm caught his huge fist, as if catching a soft pillow.

"Alice, I'll leave the rest to you." Vivian chuckled.

A fiery red shadow passed by Vivian and rushed to the backstage of the grocery store.

The man wanted to intercept, but he felt a burst of pressure in front of him.

He turned his head and met Vivian's eyes burning with icy flames in astonishment.

"People of Gold."

Vivian murmured softly, the icy flame in her eyes growing brighter:

"Now that you have seen the dragon flame, why don't you kneel down and worship?"

The ancient pressure tore through the man's mind. In an instant, he suddenly realized that he was not looking into the eyes of a young girl. Through Vivian's eyes, he saw the black-winged dragon roaring in the eternal night of the Age of Gods.

Before his sanity collapsed, the man screamed with all his might:

"Vivian Xia! You betrayed Gold!"

He then collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

"..."

When he came out of his daze, the man realized that his hands were tied behind his back, and there were three other people tied behind him.

An icy wind blew in his face, and he shuddered, his consciousness suddenly becoming extremely clear:

"...Dear Maya, next month you will cross the stormy sea to see me. Prince Austin has arranged a place for you to live. We will usher in a brand new life in the Citadel..."

The man looked up and found a girl in a college uniform sitting on a chair, reading the letter he had written earlier.

She crossed her legs gracefully, and her slender calves wrapped in white silk swayed.

"The Imperials always love immigration. From the Kingdom of Falu to Academi, don't you think that if enough immigrants come, they can take over?"

Vivian used the four-character idiom Yan Xia as a metaphor at the end.

"You have no legitimate reason to search us." The man didn't dare to look Vivian in the eye, for fear of being burned by the icy flame in her eyes.

"No good reason? Then why did you let them run?" the girl murmured. "Alice, do it."

"Ah."

Alice, who had been inspecting the shelves, nodded and pulled out her wand.

She played the strings casually in the air, and the light patterns of the blazing fire rippled out and collided with each other, forming star-like balls of light.

Under the burning of these light balls, an unexpected scene happened - the daily necessities on the shelves began to emit "sizzling" black gas, like the roar of vampires encountering the sunlight.

"The power of the sun can destroy, but it can also bring new life," Alice whispered. "The 'curse' you've spread won't survive in broad daylight."

Vivian looked at the man with a smile, and was satisfied to see a hint of panic on his face.

"This is not what I want to do," the man said quickly, "If I don't do this, I won't be able to see Maya..."

"Who's behind you? Prince Austin?" Vivian tilted her head, her white hair cascading down her shoulders.

The man laughed at himself:

"How can Prince Austin look upon us? He is adorned with gold, and our feet are covered with sand..."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense and tell me who ordered you to do this," Vivian pointed at the daily necessities emitting black smoke. "Regardless of your purpose in spreading the 'curse', this case is related to the 'Steam Man,' and the number of missing persons it has caused has already exceeded 100."

"In other words, if you don't confess, you'll be an accomplice, and I'm afraid you'll never see your beloved Maya again."

The corners of the man's mouth twitched slightly. He looked at his accomplice who was still unconscious behind him, swallowed his saliva, and seemed to have made up his mind:

"The person who ordered me to do this is..."

......

At the door of the grocery store, Laura Williams, the special sergeant of the "Steam Man" task force, looked seriously at the cordoned-off scene with her hands on her waist.

As long as she wanted, she could easily pull out the police revolver from the holster and arrest the two people who were about to come out together with several auxiliary police officers beside her.

But she controlled herself. When Vivian and Alice, the two "bell guardians," came out of the grocery store, she just growled:

"I should have warned you to stay away from my cases!"

Alice was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to say something, Vivian took two steps forward:

"The suspect is only responsible for the execution. The mastermind is in the Garden District, near the beachfront. Send someone there to investigate as soon as possible."

5) Gold (Part 3)

Sheriff Laura looked up and down at Vivian's girlish outfit, her eyes cold:

"When will it be your turn to guide our work?"

"Be patient, we are all on the same front." Vivian said gently.

"Don't be so nonchalant!"

Sheriff Laura's voice rose several degrees, frightening Vivian so much that she shrank back behind Alice:

"Dragon Lady! Those who died were our compatriots, not yours!"

As she spoke, the sheriff seemed to be closing in, when little sparks flew out in front of her.

She stopped and turned to find Alice staring at her, her eyes gleaming with golden light.

"Are you going to disobey the Star Sea Church?" Alice said calmly.

"The power of the police station comes directly from the 'White Tower Council'. In terms of rank, I'm not much lower than you." Sheriff Laura was not afraid.

"How many months do you plan to take to find the source of the curse? Vivian and I only took one night to find this grocery store behind you, which was opened in broad daylight." Alice pointed behind her.

Laura was silent for a moment, then smiled sarcastically:

"You know, I know the guy you guys forced to explode in the port area."

"He's an Imperial, yes. He's related to the 'Steam Man,' that's also true."

"But he's not just a criminal. He's also the father of two children. He travels back and forth between the north and south districts every day, working two jobs just to pay for his two children's tuition at the magic academy."
