"Have you received the revelation regarding Saint Auros's involvement?" Aurora chuckled. "Then let's see what it is."

Xing Mo took a deep breath, calmed down, and quietly let his spirit merge with the changing balls of light.

During the fusion process, she felt painful emotions:

It was not her pain, but the pain of others. Xing Mo and the man were separated by a layer of glass. She watched the person on the other side of the glass roaring in despair and banging on the glass.

During this process, several string lights lit up in the darkness:

"5 Fire... 1 Starlight..."

Looking at the trajectories where the strings intersected, Xingmo suddenly opened his eyes.

That's six-string magic!

From the remaining revelations of the "Angel of the Blazing Sun", Xingmo obtained information about six-string magic!

"'The remaining breath of fire'..." Xing Mo murmured in a low voice.

The remaining light and shadows flashed before her eyes: she saw the "Angel of the Blazing Sun" Saint Aolos exhaling in the pure black night sky. His figure seemed to expand in an instant, and a six-winged light and shadow larger than his body purified the surrounding darkness like a vortex.

"Looks like this is new knowledge," Aurora said, as if she could read Xingmo's thoughts. "5 fire... 1 starlight, does that mean six-string magic?"

Xingmo exhaled:

"It's a very powerful spell, symbolizing supreme purification, but my limit is only five strings. If I want to unleash it, I'm afraid I'll need a ritual to assist."

Aurora smiled slightly:

"Not bad, little Saint, you're becoming more and more like a follower of the evil god. Have you even learned how to steal skills from the 'Holy Angel'?"

“…” Xing Mo didn’t know how to comment.

After confirming that his mind had stabilized, Xing Mo said:

"I saw two angels cursed, but why?"

They are high and mighty angels, how could they be contaminated by the curse?

"That's something you'd have to ask their own followers," Aurora said with a hint of gloating. "Saint Auros's home base is the northern part of the Citadel. If the followers in the northern part are happy, then he will be healthy too."

"If His body is not in good health, then there must be something wrong with the believers."

"Of course, it could also be the other way around." Aurora's smile became mysterious.

6) Steam, Whale Song (Part 7)

Nancheng District.

With the sound of snapping fingers, the candles on the three-pronged candlesticks were lit one by one, lighting up the wine in the goblet, like spots of light falling on a purple gem.

The surface of the wine vaguely reflected a pair of dark golden eyes, which seemed to contain a lion, yet were extremely restrained.

"..."

Prince Austin held up the wine with his middle and ring fingers, shook it slightly, and then took a sip.

He turned his head and looked at the lights of the southern city through the patterned lattice window.

"There's a saying among the Golden People: Beyond the Sea is Paradise, where the waters are sweeter than wine."

Austin's lips curled slightly, and he turned his head and looked at the other end of the room:

“But you don’t cherish it, you don’t cherish it…”

Where his eyes were pointing, a lady in a gauze dress was tied to a cross, her hair disheveled and blood at the corner of her mouth.

"Please..." she whispered.

"I gave you the Sunflower Spa because you're smart, Miss Tolia," Austin swirled his glass. "But you let a little girl discover the String Array of the Tree of Life. Oh, you're simply not good enough."

"I swear they didn't notice..." the lady murmured, "because of something else, because..."

"Don't be silly. We all know the Bell Keeper is no fool," Prince Austin waved his hand as if to shoo away a mosquito. "Their next target is me, the lion of the desert, and you are the informer among the lions."

"No...no..." The lady shook her head repeatedly, "Please..."

Prince Austin seemed pleased to see the lady's struggle. He took another sip of wine, a smile playing on his lips.

"But you will be forgiven."

"...What?" The lady raised her head, her eyes showing surprise, and then joy, "Thank... Thank you... I..."

"The great 'Golden Sun', the original 'I' will personally forgive you." Prince Austin said the second half of the sentence in a cheerful tone.

"What... no... no..."

The lady seemed to want to beg for mercy, but Prince Austin had already drawn out his wand gracefully, plucking it lightly like plucking a string -

"call--"

In an instant, a faint green light pattern spread across the lady's body, as if there was a breeze blowing, but it became calm in an instant.

Prince Austin drank the wine in the glass quietly, while on the cross, the lady had died at some point.

Her "life string" was snapped.

"I prefer sweet wine to water."

Prince Austin clapped his hands, and two guards in brass armor came in and carried the cross out.

After they left, an old man walked into the room, stood in the shadows and said:

"Prince, what should we do next?"

"Tell Sir Derek Larsen that he needs to tone it down, and send an Immortal to protect him and his precious whale."

Austin seemed to be in a good mood.

"Oh, by the way, my birthday party will be held as usual, and the invitations can be sent out this week."

"This might reveal a flaw to the 'Bell Guardian', are you sure..." the old man said carefully.

"That's exactly what I thought, we use the dust storm to fight the wolves."

Prince Austin stood up, took the yellow robe from the coat rack and put it on.

He walked up to the old man, smiled and patted his shoulder:

"Don't worry, the goddess's followers will suffer the consequences of their actions, and the original 'Yi' will return with the help of the tree."

After saying that, he walked out of the room. The old man was silent for a moment and then followed closely behind him.

In the luxuriously decorated room, there was only the pale blue moonlight and blood on the red carpet.

......

A week has passed since Xingmo fainted in the Cathedral of St. Auros.

This week, Xingmo and Aurora attended classes as usual, learning various magical knowledge with the freshmen.

Aurora gradually became interested in the process. In the beginning, she even threw her homework to Xingmo to do, but now she takes the initiative to set up formations and perform some ritual magic in the dormitory.

As a freshman, the "Ritual Magic" course basically only teaches some very basic magic: such as how to communicate with the "spirits" wandering in nature to gain some inspirational revelations.

Generally speaking, this kind of magic can be used to predict small things such as fortune, development of events, weather changes, etc. After all, the spirits in nature are relatively kind.

Even evil spirits wouldn't be so idle as to mess with the students of Nefelibeta Magic Academy - there is a string magic circle controlling it underground.

However, Aurora has never successfully summoned any "spirits".

Whenever she chanted the spell to pray for the arrival of the spirit, the air would always blow in all directions, as if a lot of things were escaping.

Ling didn't dare to respond.

Whenever this happened, Aurora would jump up and down like a furry kitten, yelling childish things like "We're going to wipe you all out!"

Hearing this, Xingmo always held her forehead helplessly.

On Wednesday night, Xingmo exchanged information with Professor Lucius and learned that the matter of Prince Austin was still being handled and the arrest operation might have to wait until the chain of evidence was more sufficient.

Also, Xingmo asked Professor Lucius about the name "Perlis", and the answer he got was "I've never heard of it."

This makes the identity of the store manager even more mysterious.

"..."

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-September. The weather in the academic city was getting colder and colder, and the leaves in the back garden began to turn golden.

As the storm on the sea approached the Academy City, the entire west of Academi began to experience frequent heavy rains. The rain stirred up a mist on the streets, making the orange lights shining through the street windows even more hazy.

On Thursday afternoon, Xingmo and Aurora reported to the "Ritual Magic" class in the West Tower as usual.

As they walked through the corridor, bean-sized raindrops hit the windows of the castle, and the sound of the raindrops was like light drumbeats, which made Xingmo feel good.

After entering the classroom, Xing Mo saw Master Nobo Sunlight sitting beside the bed at a glance - the guy had been discharged from the hospital, but his face was still pale.

Looking at his pale and lifeless face, Xing Mo felt a little gloating, but suddenly an idea came to her mind.

Could that fellow know something about the disappearance of Bishop Fry Sunlighter?

After all, he is his biological father. There must be some signs before he disappeared, right?

So, Xingmo strode across the classroom, walked to Nuobo's desk, and took a photo online:

"Hello there!"

Nobo shrank back in fear, and when he saw Xingmo's face, he almost jumped up:

"What...what are you doing!" he shouted in panic.

Of course, his panic was justified. After all, Professor Ling concealed the matter about the "curse" from him and attributed his serious injury to "a teaching mistake."

In simple terms, Nobo was knocked unconscious by Xingmo.

That's right, I was knocked down with a single knife, and then I stayed in bed for two weeks...

As for the incident in which Nobo suddenly jumped due to the "curse", in order to prevent the panic from spreading, Professor Lucius modified the memories of his classmates, making everyone believe that Nobo was hammered into the hospital bed with a knife.

From the moment he woke up and learned the truth, Nobo became depressed, as if he had lost his soul.

After all, being beaten into a hospital bed by a Faroese refugee is truly too humiliating...

So, when Nuobo saw Xingmo coming to say hello, he subconsciously thought that she was going to continue settling the score.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Nobo shouted:

"Don't bully me! Sister! Please!"

6) Steam, Whale Song (Part 8)

Nobo's roar stunned Xingmo.

That's strange, aren't you an arrogant young nobleman?

Why is there a tremor in your voice when you call me sister now?

Xingmo looked around and found that the classmates around her were all looking at her, some with surprise and some with curiosity.

In the eyes of his classmates, Master Nobo was considered the star student of this class. Although he lost to another freshman in the duel, he still had the dual identities of a sanxian player and a noble.

But now, the arrogant young master looked at the new student Falu with a pitiful look.

"Um..."

Xing Mo coughed and then said:

"I'm not here to bully you, I'm here to ask questions."

Asking questions...? Nobo's face turned pale.

"I...I didn't mean it," Nobo's hands were shaking. "Ahem...I mean...Sister, you're pretty awesome. I take back what I said, I take it back..."

“…” Xingmo sighed.

Only then did she notice that the looks her classmates gave her were very complicated: admiration, love, and even fear.

Wait... fear...?

Xingmo spread his spirituality and used the senses granted by the "Tree of Life" mark to capture the sounds around him.

Then she heard a whisper in the corner:
