......

"This suit fits perfectly. How do you like it? Do you want it custom-made?"

"No need, Auntie. We have a limited budget, so just enough will do."

In front of the mirror in the tailor shop, Xingmo turned around and looked at herself in the mirror.

A classic college uniform, a white shirt with a blue bow tie, and a black long skirt that covers the calves.

This is the uniform of the Nefera Beta Magic Academy. Students usually buy it at a tailor shop and wear it directly on the first day of school.

I have to say, although girls' uniforms are embarrassing to wear... they are surprisingly freeing to wear?

The loose feeling in my lower body... well... very comfortable... but it can be a bit troublesome during combat.

Just tear it off when the time comes?

No, no... How can you tear off the skirt... Girls can't tear their own skirts...

Xingmo sighed and looked at Aurora beside her:

"Have you made your choice?"

At this moment, Aurora was standing on a small stool, watching herself changing her posture in the mirror.

She was wearing the same college uniform, but the skirt was shorter, just reaching above her thighs. Her fair and slender legs were covered with white silk calf socks, and her feet were wearing a pair of black uniform shoes.

This guy's temperament changed after he put on the uniform. The previous aura of holiness and evil disappeared, replaced by the sunny and lively temperament of a junior high school girl, and the smile on his face seemed to be able to emit holy light.

Aurora didn't seem to hear Xingmo's voice. She was concentrating on admiring her appearance in the mirror, lifting her legs and turning her arms from time to time, her heart-shaped pupils twitching.

Narcissistic stuff.

Xing Mo sighed, turned to the aunt in the tailor shop and said:

"Just these two, whatever you want, I'll pay you."

"Just follow the standard price on the watch," Auntie said, hesitating for a moment. "Um...girl, your tie is wrong."

"Is it wrong?" Xing Mo looked down at the blue tie on his chest, "It's not tied wrong."

"The girls' uniforms are pink ties, and you took the blue ones," Auntie pointed out. "Those are for the boys."

Xing Mo felt as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, and he quickly looked away:

"Ah... yes, yes, I got the wrong one, auntie. Sorry... I... I just came from Fallu, so I don't know much about these... haha..."

"So it's Miss Falu," Auntie nodded, looking at Xingmo's face, "I thought you were from Yanxia, ​​girl, your temperament is very similar to those beautiful Orientals."

"Um...ah, I'm mixed-blood," Xingmo explained, "half Falu, half Yanxia."

In fact, Xingmo doesn’t know where she is from. She is an orphan raised by the "College" and her life experience remains a mystery to this day.

However, her mentor did often say that she had the temperament of a Yanxia person, a country far outside the Vista continent. Xingmo had never been there and could only see the giant dragons migrating between the Vista continent and Yanxia in the spring and autumn every year.

The aunt in the tailor shop obviously believed Xingmo's explanation. She nodded and turned her gaze to Aurora beside her:

"Is that your sister? But why is her hair white?"

"Albinism is a disease that causes pale skin, red pupils and white hair." Xingmo quickly spewed out the explanation she had thought of long ago.

"Ah... poor girls..." The aunt in the tailor shop had obviously heard of this disease. "It must not be easy for you two sisters to study in the Citadel... How about I give you a discount?"

"No, Auntie, the money for the uniform is enough. It's not easy for you to do business in North City. How can I..."

When Xingmo was about to refuse, Aurora jumped down from the bench and grabbed her skirt.

"Sister, we want this one~" She had an innocent expression, which made Xingmo feel uneasy.

The aunt at the tailor shop seemed touched by Aurora's cute and innocent appearance. She took a deep breath and patted Xingmo's shoulder.

"Girl, take good care of your sister. Use the money you save to buy more food. Look how thin she is... Auntie is fine, ah..."

"Sister, I'm hungry. Can I have breakfast today?" Aurora tilted her head towards Xingmo.

Oh no, she fooled me!

Xingmo looked at Aurora, then at her aunt, and finally sighed helplessly:

"Well, thank you, Auntie."

2) Crazy Ideas (Part 3)

After walking out of the tailor shop, the sunshine of the northern city hit me in the face. The wet stone brick road was flashing with golden light, reflecting the shadows of passers-by.

The early morning in the North City is noisy and lively. Workers are rushing to the factories in the dock area, while the working class takes steam rail cars to the White Tower District and the South City District. Those with better conditions will rent a horse-drawn carriage.

On such a morning, Xingmo, holding Aurora's hand and wearing a brand new uniform, came to a commercial street near St. Auros Cathedral.

The two sat down on a high chair in front of an iced tea shop. Xingmo ordered two cups of sweet iced tea and meat pies, which was her favorite breakfast combination - especially the icy cold sweet iced tea, which she loved to drink even in winter.

Luckily, I have some savings at home...otherwise, I can't even afford breakfast...

Xingmo sighed and looked at Aurora, only to find that the little white-haired cat in new clothes was staring at the church not far away, as if lost in thought.

"You did that on purpose just now," Xing Mo said.

"What do you mean by intentional? I don't know~" Aurora said absentmindedly.

Xingmo sighed:

"People in the northern part of the city have had it tough. Ever since the 'Steam Revolution' began, many factories have opened along the coast, and people's living conditions have been declining. I used to know that auntie. She has three children in college, and her expenses are huge. I shouldn't take advantage of her."

"I was wrong. I just acted cute to you because I saw you were short of money." Aurora held her face with her hands.

Xing Mo was stunned for a moment. Why did this guy suddenly become so well-behaved? She thought her attitude would be tougher.

For example, saying something like "I am an evil god, so what if I lie to people?"

As Xingmo was thinking this, Aurora turned around and gave her a bright smile:

"So, little saint, you have to make good money. Next time, take me to buy new clothes so I don't have to sell my body."

"You're quite considerate..." Xing Mo murmured, "You're a bit unlike the evil god."

At this point, Xing Mo suddenly realized something and shrank his neck back:

"No! You're pretending!"

"You've become smarter~" Aurora stretched out her finger and gently tapped Xingmo's face.

At this time, breakfast was served. Aurora took a sip of sweet iced tea and stuck out her tongue.

"It's so sweet. How can something be so sweet? It doesn't taste good."

"It's not bad, don't forget that we are Faru people, and Faru people love desserts." Xingmo said.

"What?! Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, we wouldn't be considered Faloo people!" Aurora's pupils trembled. "They really like desserts? Then they should be wiped out!"

This guy doesn't like sweet things? Xingmo silently took note, took a bite of the meat pie, and then changed the subject:

"St. Auros Cathedral, what do you want to do?"

Aurora pushed the sweet iced tea away from her, took a bite of the meat pie, and mumbled while chewing:

"What else can we do? Go in and preach. Tell them that they should believe in the 'Angel of Disaster'! The great Aurora Halfgard will grant them endless life and wealth."

"This sounds like an evil paganism..." Xing Mo shook his head.

"Isn't it?" Aurora tilted her head.

It seems true.

No...if she really wanted to make the church her own, she had to make sure she didn't hurt anyone in the process.

Although this is for the safety of the residents of the Academy, I still feel... a strong sense of guilt...

Xing Modi sighed countless times and explained:

"That definitely won't work. Preaching in Saint Auros's church is like going to the bathroom in someone else's living room. Plus, you're a demon-level being. Saint Auros has a very close connection to reality and can lock onto you instantly. It might even trigger a divine descent."

"Yeah, then we won't be able to infiltrate, and that won't be fun."

Aurora shook her head.

"Let's think about it. The so-called 'Saint Auros' is an archangel under the command of the 'Star Sea Goddess', right?"

"That's right, he is also known as the 'Angel of the Sun' and the patron saint of Huoxian." Xing Mo nodded.

"And you just said that 'He' can even directly sense changes within the church, which means He must have a strong connection to reality," Aurora murmured. "The 'Unspeakable Thing,' or the true form of the Ancient God, is usually within their own 'Divine Kingdom.' This is not only to maintain their godhood, but also for safety."

"In other words, since 'He' is so close to reality, he must be using something, such as... a holy object?"

After Aurora finished her analysis, Xingmo suddenly thought of something:

"There is a clear spring in St. Auros Church, used to wash away people's sins. It's called the 'Star Sea Spring'."

"That's it," Aurora snapped her fingers softly. "Use the spring water to establish a stronger connection with the believers, absorbing the power of faith while transmitting it upwards, all the way to Ivramis..."

"Evramis?" Xingmo frowned.

"'Star Goddess' Ivramis, Her true name," Aurora smirked. "Oh, I forgot, knowing the name of a god is a form of blasphemy, little saint, you are blaspheming your goddess~"

"You guy... why do you have so many bad intentions!" Xing Mo was a little anxious.

She really didn't know the name of the "Star Sea Goddess". According to religious scriptures, just knowing the name of a god is a sin, so the believers of the Star Sea Religion generally call her "Goddess".

And now, Xingmo knows the goddess's real name...

She was anxious and annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. She could only steady her breathing and continue with the topic:

"Anyway, you mean to say you want to start from Xinghai Spring?"

Aurora smiled brightly, clearly already having an idea:

"We only need to add a few small ingredients and use the spring water to cleanse the sinners, and the power of faith will be passed on to us~"

"In this way, they don't even realize they've trusted the wrong god. Unknowingly, the great 'Angel of Disaster' has become their master~"

......

More than ten minutes later, Xingmo and Aurora crossed the square in front of St. Auros Cathedral and arrived at the church gate.

White doves were flying, and the ancient church cast its huge shadow on the square, like a statue of a god.

Today is Monday. There are not many people in the church early in the morning, only a few well-dressed ladies coming in and out.

They don't have to work, so they can come to church to pray even on weekdays.

Looking at such an exquisite church, Aurora's eyes were a little dull for a moment, and her pupils shrank slightly, which was rare.

Um? what happens?

Before Xingmo could take a closer look, Aurora had already walked forward, so she had no choice but to follow.

The interior of the church is slightly darker than the outside, and the stained glass casts colorful light on the rows of seats in the hall, as if it were a view from the sky.

In front of the prayer altar in front of the church, Xingmo saw the "Star Sea Pool".

It was a small pond, and some supernatural force was constantly playing the "strings" around it. The clear water was lifted up in the air by the breeze, like a small tree.

2) Crazy Ideas (Part 4)

Seeing the small pool, Xingmo bent down slightly and whispered in Aurora's ear:

"What are you going to do?"

"Just maintain contact for a few minutes." Aurora whispered.

Xingmo looked around. There were almost no people in the church. Most people had already completed their baptism in the spring and were now sitting on rows of benches, with their hands folded, praying under the colorful dome.

"It should be fine. I'll wash up first and then cover for you."

After Xingmo finished speaking, he took Aurora's hand and walked towards the "Xinghai Spring" while observing the surroundings.

The people in the benches on both sides of the church did not notice them and just prayed intently.

The nuns were busy cleaning the church. Since the "Star Sea Church" was the largest church in the entire "Academic City", almost no one dared to act rashly, so the nuns had no sense of vigilance.

Xingmo knew this, after all, she was the "bell protector".

The nuns could never have imagined that a "bell keeper" would walk in with a white-haired evil god.

Blasphemy! What blasphemy!
