Standing across the square, Xingmo took out his pocket watch and looked at it - there was still half an hour before the mass began.
"Let's go to the tailor shop first, so we don't have to go there again later." Xing Mo suggested.
"It's all up to us. We have money." Aurora waved her hand.
So, Xingmo took Aurora's hand and walked into the tailor shop.
As soon as I entered the shop, the tailor shop aunt came to greet me. When she saw that it was Xingmo and Aurora, she smiled brightly:
"Oh, it's you two sisters. I haven't seen you for half a month. You look more lively!"
"Hello, Auntie," Xing Mo responded with a smile, then looked around, "Um... I want to buy... something to wear inside, something to change into..."
7) Red Epiphyllum (Part 5) -4k chapter-
Auntie was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"Oh, you're such a grown-up girl, and you're still shy. It's just underwear. Just look at the styles yourself. There's a fitting room over there where you can try on the size."
"Thank you...thank you Auntie..." Xingmo lowered her head.
Even though I've been a girl for so long, I still feel embarrassed...
After all...apart from the clothes, my figure also...also...makes me blush...
Xingmo shook her head quickly, throwing away all the bad thoughts in her mind.
She quickly walked into the depths of the tailor shop, grabbed a few pieces, and went into the fitting room.
Ten minutes later, Xingmo came out neatly dressed with a slight blush on her face.
She paid the money and turned around to see Aurora looking very happy.
"...If you laugh again, I won't cook for you tomorrow." Xing Mo said.
Aurora stopped smiling immediately.
Really honest...
Xingmo shrugged, said goodbye to her aunt, and prepared to leave the tailor shop.
But at this moment, her eyes swept over a black dress - those dresses were hung on the wall in the corner of the tailor shop, obviously prepared for some important occasions.
"Those are more suitable for gentlemen than ladies," Auntie said with a smile, "However, in North City, there are fewer and fewer real gentlemen..."
Suit...Gentleman...Something seemed to float up in Xingmo's mind.
Previously, in the information from "Blackwood", when Bishop Fry Sunlight escaped from "St. Auros Cathedral", didn't he buy a formal suit?
It was speculated at the time that he bought the suit to attend an occasion...
After finding the "Steam Man" hunting list at the Sunflower Hot Springs, we assumed that Bishop Frye was dead, thus overlooking an important thing -
——That’s where the occasion that requires a formal dress is!
Definitely not a spa!
After Bishop Frye failed to find help from the "Black Wood", he went straight to that place without saying a word, which meant that there was a way out for him.
However, he was intercepted by Prince Austin on the way...
And where exactly the occasion that requires a formal dress is may provide a very important clue.
Clues to the truth about "Xinghaiquan".
"..."
Xing Mo raised her head and said to the tailor auntie casually:
"Has anyone bought any of these dresses lately? They're so well made...why are they being overlooked?"
"Haha, you're so sweet. Actually, these styles are outdated and can't be called excellent."
The tailor aunt smiled and immediately began to think:
"The last time I sold it was probably a few months ago..."
This timeline might match! Xing Mo quickly asked:
"Do you remember what the man who bought the dress looked like? I mean, what kind of person has such good taste?"
"I remember, that guy was wearing a cassock and looked like he belonged to the church," the seamstress nodded repeatedly. "But he was sneaky and yelled at me a few times, so I left a particularly deep impression on him... Alas, that's why they say there are fewer and fewer true gentlemen..."
Xingmo and Aurora looked at each other, and the latter had a bright smile on her face.
"It seems that good taste does not mean politeness, and people wearing formal attire are not necessarily gentlemen." Xing Mo said.
She exchanged a few more pleasantries with her aunt, then left the tailor shop with Aurora.
However, Xingmo did not leave. After the aunt went backstage, Xingmo waved his magic wand and created a faint mist around her.
Using the mist as a cover, she swiftly played the strings, summoning the "Dagger of Truth," piercing the void—
"Zizzi-"
Since the time period of Bishop Frye's disappearance was very clear, Xingmo quickly found him in the dim stream of memory.
However, his figure was still unclear - this was because he was a "Saint" and had already begun to implement anti-reconnaissance measures.
But even so, Xing Mo could already hear his subtle whispers:
“…This is fake…It’s fake…”
"...No! I don't care about the size! The money's on the counter, just put it in the bag!"
"...'Humpback Whale'...Yes...I want it now..."
"..."
Xing Mo opened his eyes, the golden light in his eyes dissipated, and the outline of the dagger faded in the air.
Her mind was locked on the term that Bishop Frye had mentioned last—
——The Humpback Whale.
"Humpback whale? That sounds like the name of a ship..."
Xingmo murmured, trying to search her memory, but found that she had never heard of such a ship.
"We can ask Alia's birds to help check. There's no rush." Aurora stood on tiptoe and rubbed Xingmo's head. "Won't it be very weak? If we use the Dagger of Truth."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xing Mo felt her legs go weak - due to her menstrual period, coupled with the sharp drop in spiritual power caused by using the "Dagger of Truth", the energy she had accumulated with great difficulty was gone in an instant.
"It's okay..." Xingmo took a deep breath, "Let's go, it's time to go to church."
Aurora smiled and looked at her for a moment, then reached out and held Xingmo's hand.
"I'll hold your hand so you won't fall. Let's go!"
Xing Mo was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly.
......
The "Starry Sea Mass" was as spectacular as usual. When the golden starlight filled the sky, all the believers felt joy from the heart to the body as usual.
And Aurora was trembling with pleasure as usual.
This time no vines were used to wrap me... Xingmo sat on the chair, silently looking at the little thing beside him and feeling secretly happy.
Is it because I'm feeling unwell while taking care of you? I didn't expect you to be so considerate...
As soon as Xingmo had this thought, she felt a slight itch at the base of her thigh.
Her expression changed and she whispered:
"Hey! I just bought you new clothes, don't...ah!"
"..."
After the mass, Alia, who was sweeping the floor in the corner of the church, looked up and saw the Saint with a blush on her face.
Without waiting for the Saint Lady to speak, she stepped forward and whispered:
"Alice Pucht came to the church during the day and created a black area. I don't know what she did."
Senior Alice? Xing Mo frowned and whispered:
"I will pay attention."
Then, she told Alia about the Humpback Whale, who nodded immediately and went to assign tasks.
I am becoming more and more like the boss of a secret organization... Xingmo thought so and started thinking again.
What is Alice-senpai doing at St. Auros Cathedral?
Could it be...that she noticed something?
Thinking of this, Xing Mo couldn't help but start to get nervous. She knew what her senior was capable of, so she turned to Aurora and asked:
"If I use the Dagger of Truth here, will I be able to see the past?"
"Of course, we're not stupid," Aurora said. "If we interfere, wouldn't that be like telling her directly, 'There's something wrong with this church?'"
"But you interfered with the factory that time..."
"Because the Immortals were there that time, the waters were muddied."
I didn't expect that this little ancestor had his own logic.
Xingmo took a deep breath and made sure to put this matter out of her mind for the time being.
Next, she planned to wait for Alia to finish assigning the task and then ask her about the use of the "mantra".
.......
South City District, Rat Street.
In the small house made of yellow bricks and tiles, the man lit the candle on the table, illuminating the ironware on the table.
They were silver scimitars with strange patterns all over the blades, obviously from a foreign land.
"The prince has given the signal, it's time to assemble."
As soon as the man finished speaking, figures in yellow robes walked out of the darkness.
Each of them picked up a scimitar and held it at their waist. Their eyes under the hood reflected the firelight, like soulless evil spirits.
"The original 'Yi' will protect us." A hoarse voice sounded in the darkness.
At this moment, the door was silently pushed open, and a touch of ice blue lit up in the darkness.
The men looked towards the door, only to see a frail girl closing the door and turning around.
"Hey, you're having a party without me?"
Vivian smiled and waved her left hand. Her right hand was wrapped in silver armor and held a silver sword.
The silver sword sent gusts of cold wind through the room, blowing out the candles on the table.
The moment the room fell into darkness, the sound of weapons clashing broke out, accompanied by growls and screams.
Five minutes later, an ice-blue sword light tore through the ceiling of the house, and pale blue moonlight shone into the dark room, illuminating Vivian's figure like a spotlight on the stage.
She was standing in the middle of the room, holding a man in a yellow robe in her hand, and unconscious bodies were lying at her feet.
"Ahem...let me go...damn dragon..."
The man struggled hard, but Vivian's slender arms seemed to have tremendous strength, making it impossible for him to break free.
He looked directly into the eyes burning with icy flames. Under the illumination of the blue moon, the eyes seemed to have turned into vertical pupils, emitting a majesty that made people want to surrender.
"Tell me, what is your purpose? Who ordered you to do so?" Vivian whispered.
"It's Prince Austin! He wants us to concentrate our strength and be ready to deal with the cleanup at any time!" The man in yellow robe roared uncontrollably.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was thrown to the ground by Vivian, followed by a silver punch that knocked him directly into the ground.
"call."
Vivian shook the blood off her hands, thrust the silver sword into the shattered void, and looked up at the crescent moon.
After resting for a while, she bent down and began to search the yellow-robed man's body.
Soon, she found a note and read it quickly.
"...Immediately escort the Humpback Whale out of port...?"
