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

In fact, her legs were shaking slightly, but luckily the table was high enough so no one else could see...

It's like this when someone who usually has no presence suddenly speaks up... their mind is clear... but their body can't help but react nervously...

"Hu..." Xing Mo inhaled and exhaled repeatedly, his eyes falling on the small notebook in front of him.

There was a sentence written on it before she spoke:

—That Councilman Martin seems like a fool.

"Pfft..." Xingmo smiled faintly, crossed out the sentence with a pen, and lamented her own bad intention of diverting attention.

9) Storm, Whale Song (Part 4)

After Xingmo's stunning performance, the meeting voted and approved Lucius' decision.

Then, the members of parliament left the conference hall one by one to prepare for the next work.

According to the Church of the Tide, the storm will pause for a while in the next three days, which will give Prince Austin a chance to escape.

This was also the only chance for the Academy to intercept him.

Sinners must be held accountable and must accept the judgment of the Academy.

Of course, Xingmo and Lucius had other goals - that was to take away the "Angel's Tears" from Prince Austin.

After dealing with the "Steam Man", the next target is the evil god Aurora.

All of this is finally coming to an end... Xing Mo sighed in his heart...

No matter what happens next, take every step carefully and have a clear conscience.

The most urgent task is to deal with Prince Austin and avenge Miriam.

"..."

Seeing that almost everyone had left, Xing Mo and the other two stood up and prepared to leave last.

But at this moment, Miss Isabella came up:

"Miss Xingsheng, right? Can I borrow you for a few minutes?"

The owner of Maple Leaf Palace smiled gently at Xingmo, his golden eyes twinkling.

Xing Mo looked at the instructor, then at the senior student, and nodded immediately:

"At your service, ma'am."

Lucius and Alice looked at each other, as if curious about why the Queen of Maple Leaf Palace suddenly wanted to talk to Xingmo. Could it be because of her amazing performance just now?

But neither of them said anything. They nodded to Xing Mo and left her alone.

"..."

Isabella smiled and glanced at Xingmo, then pointed to a room on the side:

"If it's convenient, come over here and talk."

"Yeah." Xingmo nodded.

She remained vigilant, but showed no sign of it, and followed Isabella to a small room on the side of the council chamber.

The room was not big, and was furnished like a simple conversation room with two sofas and a chair, nothing special.

What Xingmo was more concerned about was the logo on the wall - it was a tower made up of a series of stars, with the name "Decep" printed below.

The emblem of the Decep family is the Star Tower... probably the White Tower. They have always been the most loyal believers of the goddess...

After taking his seat, Xing Mo looked at Miss Isabella across from him and went straight to the point.

"What do you want from me?"

Miss Isabella did not rush to answer, but poured two cups of tea from the table, one for Xingmo and one for herself.

Then she said slowly:

"This afternoon, the Saint's promotion ceremony was held at the Sixth String Array, and the person being promoted was you, correct?"

Xing Mo was shocked, but she remained calm on the surface and didn't show it.

Logically speaking, the specific purpose of the string array is not so easy to trace, not to mention that Aurora must have interfered.

But she knew, even precisely that it was me, precisely that it was the “six strings”?

In this case, denial was meaningless, so Xing Mo did not answer directly, but just nodded and said:

"what do you mean?"

"'Saint Auros Cathedral', the port area, the Sunflower Underground Baths..." Miss Isabella smiled gently. "It's not like no one in the Citadel is paying attention to what's happening right now. The Decep family are disciples of the goddess. How could they allow the Citadel to self-destruct?"

She took off the white hat on her head, and her chestnut hair was tied into a ponytail, softly draped over her shoulders:

"I don't know what's behind you, but I want to make everything clear here. Since you haven't shown too much malicious intent at the moment, I hope to reach a cooperation."

"This willingness to cooperate only represents my personal opinion. The Xinghai Church is currently unaware of your existence, so I hope you can listen to me."

As expected... She had guessed some of it. Although she didn't specifically mention the Tree of Life or Aurora, she was clearly aware of the existence of the cult.

At a time like this, showing weakness is unacceptable.

Xing Mo cleared her throat and put on a faint smile:

"We have no ill intentions. We are simply redeeming the unredeemed and saving the unsaved."

She tried hard to make her tone sound like a charlatan... well... it should be quite effective?

Not bad... It feels like Miss Perlis speaking, a pure girl pretending to be deep...

No, Miss Perlis should be the real deep one, and I am the pure girl...

After listening to Xing Mo's words, Isabella smiled and said:

"I have noticed your good deeds, so I do not intend to expel you in the name of the goddess."

"However, we need to establish some rules. In these times of waning faith, we also hope that the city will become better, rather than becoming increasingly lifeless and divided."

"Please go ahead." Xing Mo nodded.

Seeing Xing Mo's good attitude, Isabella cleared her throat and said:

"First, never attempt to lay hands on the White Tower."

Xing Mo's brows twitched slightly: The first one is not very realistic...Aurora is going to that tower.

She also knew that the White Tower could not be touched. The tower was the foundation of the continent and was also the sacred object of the goddess. If anything went wrong, the academy would surely face a devastating disaster.

"No problem." Xing Mo nodded.

In any case, she would not let Aurora enter the White Tower and do whatever she wanted. That would not only threaten the safety of the Citadel, but also Aurora's safety.

I actually started to worry about her...Xingmo couldn't help but shook her head.

"Secondly, do not attempt to take over any more churches. If necessary, the Decep family will build a church for you in the countryside of Academi, but do not attempt to take over any other churches within the Citadel."

Xing Mo was even more confused after hearing this - she had thought that the Disep family would demand the return of the "Cathedral of St. Auros".

What does it mean? 'St. Auros Cathedral' doesn't matter, but other churches do?

If the "Angel of the Blazing Sun" knew you said this, he would be furious...

Seeing that Xingmo had no objection, Isabella continued:

"Third, never try to touch the starry sky."

"You can question everything, you can plan everything, but never plan anything related to the stars."

"This includes any ritual magic."

Xing Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded calmly:

"I understand."

Her heart was already in turmoil: If someone had said this before, she would not have had any extra thoughts, but now it was different.

Not long ago, Xingmo heard from Miss Perlis that "the starry sky is fake", and then the goddess's disciples, the Decep family, told her not to explore the starry sky.

This means...there is something wrong with the starry sky...

And these questions...will be directed to the goddess——

——Because the goddess is the "Star Sea Goddess"!

"..."

Seeing that Xingmo agreed to everything smoothly, Miss Isabella stood up with a smile.

"Well, that's all for today. If you need any help, you can always come to Maple Leaf Palace to find me."

"It's my honor to talk to you. You are a very graceful lady." Xingmo stood up and saluted.

However, just before Xingmo was about to leave the meeting room, Isabella spoke again:

"By the way, Miss Xingsheng, did you have any visions of the golden star? I mean... during the promotion ceremony..."

Xing Mo was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied:

"No."

"I'm sorry for being so abrupt," Miss Isabella smiled. "Good day."

Xingmo turned her head and saw light flashing in those golden eyes.

......

9) Storm, Whale Song (Part 5)

After walking out of Maple Leaf Palace, Xing Mo ran head-on into a giant shadow—

——It’s a dragon.

Erlum was lying on his stomach by the roadside, his huge wings folded tightly together, his head lying meekly on the ground.

Next to its head, Vivian was talking to Alice, and both of them looked very happy.

Hearing footsteps, Alice turned around and saw Xingmo walking towards her.

"Instructor Lucius said he's going back to perform a final overhaul on the Star," Alice said. "We're scheduled to depart tomorrow. We don't know how long this break in the storm will last, so we need to act quickly."

It’s so fast...Xingmo sighed. He had just been promoted to the sixth string and was about to start actual practice.

She currently only possesses two six-string magics, namely "Soul Cage" and "Remnant of Fire".

And she still didn't know what the latter's purpose was.

However, five-string magic like "Flame Spirit Authority" can actually be played directly with six strings to gain even greater power.

This trick is enough to deal with Prince Austin.

While Xingmo was thinking, Vivian walked up to her and looked left and right.

"Seems to have gotten stronger, huh..."

"Will Senior Vivian also participate in the operation tomorrow?" Xing Mo said.

"Of course, Erlum came back just for this," Vivian laughed. "I was pierced by the Steam Man. Erlum was furious when he found out. He's a dragon, so he's terrifying when he's angry!"

Errum noticed that Vivian seemed to be talking about it, so he stretched his head over and rubbed Vivian's face.

"Hey, you're a dragon, be more majestic! Stop acting like a little animal!"

Vivian patted Erlum's head and turned to Alice:

"Then let's go to your house and sleep tonight. We'll leave tomorrow!"

"Are you really okay with your injury?" Alice looked at her little dragon girl worriedly. "Don't be so stubborn. Just let Erlum come with us."

"What do you mean! How can Erlum be as good as me! Hey... I didn't mean to say you're not good, Erlum, you're the best..."

Vivian soothed Erlum, whose nose was raised, and then said to Alice seriously:

"I'm fine now, trust me."

"Okay, I believe you."
