The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Ye Xiao took Greta's chubby little hand and rubbed it. "I remember you found a group called the Silent Voice before, didn't you?"

"Yes, that outsiders' mutual aid association."

Greta nodded.

"The names of the two groups seem quite similar, and coincidentally, one group consists of members from aristocratic families, while the other group consists of outsider victims."

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he paused for a moment, "You were able to infiltrate the Voice of Silence, but as for the Silent Words, did Favina reveal any specific details about that sect?"

"The activities these noble children participate in are mostly gatherings. Besides, Favina's mental state has already led Ilyas to distrust her. I estimate that they will urgently change all the relevant clues such as the time and place of the gatherings in the next few days."

"Perhaps we could try luring the Dark Cult members out?"

Ye Xiao's gaze drifted to the small scarecrow on the parchment beside him.

"Well……"

Greta continued, "How about I have Favina hint at her inclination to 'turn herself in'? They'll probably panic. Then I can arrange a meeting with Ilyas outside the academy. Maybe that will lure the Dark Cult members into a trap."

"This feels a bit too obvious. Those guys are cunning; if we just arrange a location directly, they probably won't fall for it."

Ye Xiao thought for a moment, "In two days it will be time for field training. Every year at this time, the academy organizes students and students from Molten City to explore the ruins in the border forest and Molten Mountain area."

"Let Favina hint at her willingness to expose herself. When we get outside the city, those members of the Dark Cult should find an opportunity to make their move. We just need to wait and see."

"Oh, that makes sense."

Greta nodded. "As expected, you humans really know how to trick other humans."

Ye Xiao pinched Greta's little cheek in an annoyed tone.

Unexpectedly, Greta grabbed Ye Xiao's hand immediately and pulled him toward the bed.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Ye Xiao became alert.

"You've helped with so many things these past few days, shouldn't you reward me?"

"No, it's broad daylight, I still need to take a nap..."

"Hurry up!"

Without a word, the petite girl hooked her slender legs, encased in white stockings, around Ye Xiao's waist and tumbled into the bedding.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Ella's Research

in the afternoon.

The Loren Empire, Valond, Lyra Peak.

Ella was sitting in the corner of a gray-brown room, her small hand lightly covering her mouth, her face slightly flushed.

Although it was said to be a dual-line operation of separate consciousnesses, it was still the same soul after all. She could still empathize with what Ye Xiao was doing, so naturally she couldn't carry out her research tasks calmly.

That Greta is always causing trouble.

Although she won't bite your hand if you touch her like before, the price for making her obedient is that she will have to pay double if she gets a chance to be alone with Ye Xiao.

Sigh... and here I am, the legitimate wife, cleaning up the ashes...

No, wait, wait, wait, what empress?

Ella rubbed her face to calm the restless feeling and restrain the urge to open the spatial door and grab the other half of her body for a roll in the sheets.

However, it must be said that studying magic is indeed something that can easily become addictive.

After three days of fussing, Ella didn't leave the room at all. Thanks to her ability to not eat, drink, or sleep, if Ye Xiao hadn't suddenly started doing that kind of thing, she probably would have continued to stay in this space portal and do her research.

Fortunately, these three days were not entirely fruitless. Although it was not as convenient as she had hoped, Ella was now able to construct a fixed spatial door that pointed to a single anchor point.

The complexity of spatial magic is far beyond what an ordinary soul can fully grasp. Imbuing a low-level soul with too much knowledge of magic will cause it to collapse.

Therefore, Ella gradually broke down and simplified the divine magic based on her intuition, and kept trying to strengthen the soul constructed on the door frame. After countless trial and error attempts with her body parts randomly sent to all parts of the world, she finally found a balance between the two today.

First, the door's soul capacity must be large enough. Ella tried many times and found that at least one room must be used as a container to generate souls, rather than relying solely on the door frame.

Secondly, all traits in the soul unrelated to spatial magic can be simplified, and the complexity of thought and emotions can be minimized. All Ella needs is a door devoid of emotion.

Finally, the spatial magic was simplified so that it would only be fixed to a certain destination, unlike the spatial portal that Ella herself opened, which could switch all anchor points at will.

In this situation, the simple soul born on the door is just right to contain the simplified spatial magic without becoming corrupted.

Finally able to suppress the restlessness in her heart, Ella staggered to her feet and looked at the door frame embedded in the earthen gray wall, radiating layers of ripples.

Two deep red eyes appeared on the open door panel, but they kept darting around, one looking up and the other down, looking rather dim-witted.

"From now on, this room can be used exclusively as a gateway to the Fog City."

Ella nodded in satisfaction, stretched, and finally left the house where she had been busy tinkering for three days.

Her research during this period seemed to have deepened her understanding of life and spatial magic.

This temporary building erected by Ella is essentially an unfinished, bare-bones structure. The steel bars are like tentacles, and the concrete used for filling is made of living soil and some rock and soil rolled up from underground. As a result, the interior of the building is still a very unsightly gray expanse when you look inside.

However, before coming in to conduct research, Ella instructed Haragati to build the outside properly, and now, three days later, the outside should have taken shape.

After all, this is a magical world, and demons are especially skilled in earth and fire magic. Building the framework of a stone fortress in three days shouldn't be too difficult for them.

Thinking this, Ella first wandered around half of the building, then suddenly remembered that she hadn't installed windows when she built the building, so she opened the portal with a slight embarrassment and teleported directly to the sky.

The moment you reach high altitude, the surroundings become bright and open, a world apart from the dark interior of the building.

Looking down at the ground, she saw that the earthen-gray building she had built was the center, with earthen pits already dug for the foundation and low walls built around it. Several towers of different heights surrounded the earthen-gray building like building blocks.

At first glance, it does indeed resemble the beginnings of a grand palace.

Tens of thousands of demons roamed among the unfinished buildings, some carrying stones and wood, others casting various spells, all in a rather orderly fashion.

Haragati was certainly not bragging when it came to managing the demon army; he was truly capable.

At that moment, the Minotaur was on an unfinished tower, holding a piece of parchment and directing his underlings around. When he glanced up, he caught a glimpse of Ella out of the corner of his eye, and quickly spread his griffin wings and flew over respectfully.

"Good afternoon, Your Excellency Lydia. What do you think of our construction?"

"Hmm, it's alright."

Ella nodded.

"My pleasure, my lord."

"Keep up the good work. It seems another group of your brothers has arrived in the North. I'll go and bring them over."

Upon hearing this, Halagati couldn't help but grin. "Ha, which unlucky fellow it is again... Oh, I mean, it seems that another devout believer has been inspired by you, sir."

As Haragati changed his words, he thought that Haragati probably saw that there was no lord in his territory and wanted to take the opportunity to invade. When he saw the rift, he couldn't wait to squeeze in.

The devil has no pity for his fellow human beings suffering the same calamity as himself; he will only clap and cheer with schadenfreude.

"The demon you served before, was it called Besip?"

Ella then asked, "Is it possible that she might also come from hell?"

If a demon god were to appear, Ella would still need to make some preparations, since not all demon gods are as pathetic as Lucieville.

"The demon gods can travel freely between hell and the mortal realm, unlike us ordinary demons, who cannot reach the mortal realm unless we can physically traverse the void without that rift."

Haragati respectfully explained, "But Lady Besip... we haven't seen her for quite some time."

"...Never seen it before?"

"Yes, it has been almost a year, and I have no idea where Lord Besip has gone."

"Huh? Your boss has been missing for a year, and you haven't even thought of looking for him?"

Ella was somewhat surprised.

"This one……"

Haragati's ox-like face showed a hint of embarrassment. "The true forms of the Demon Gods are mostly in the void. We are nominally their subordinates only because we were born in their territory. But their incarnations in Hell usually ignore us and often wander around. After all, they have the ability to travel between the real world, so we never ask them any questions."

"For example, there is a Lord Mammon in the neighboring territory who hasn't returned to Hell for almost half a year, and none of his subordinates have the courage to go looking for him."

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Artificial Holy Box Project

"Ok."

Ella's eyes darted around; these demons probably found it hard to believe what their beloved Miss Mammon was doing.

It seems quite common for demons to roam freely outside of Hell. If they decide to come and demand justice for this minotaur, we'll see how we handle the situation.

After giving the demons a final instruction not to attack humans or cities, and not to leave the Howling Mountains, Ella went to the Northern Abyss again.

In the deep valley beneath the glacier, a new group of demons now writhes in the river formed from black silt.

On a giant tree with tentacles that tightly wrapped the cracks with leaves, a strange demon with a lion-headed serpent god, wrapped up like a dumpling by its tentacles, is roaring and shouting.

"Who laid this despicable trap?! If you have the guts, don't cower in the shadows! Come out and fight Lord Volion to the death!!"

Seeing this, Ella was speechless. This rift was really restless, with a group of demons coming over every now and then.

She teleported in front of the great demon, and without saying a word, she raised her hand and summoned a basketball-sized tentacle leader to stuff into the guy's mouth.

"Ha! It's you, human... Eh! What the hell is this?!"

"Hey, don't let that disgusting thing near me!!! Ah!!! Your cruel actions will be cursed even in hell!!!..."

The lion-headed creature howled in agony as it was forced to swallow the mass of tentacles, and the entire demon trembled in agony as if it were a leaf.

As usual, all the low-level demons with low intelligence were corrupted, while the high-level demons were fed tentacles. Then, Ella sent this new batch of strongmen to Lyra Peak.

After settling things here, Ella went to Valen again.

At the Seven Stars Society's stronghold, Li Cheng reported to Ella on the recent construction progress of the Holy Revelation Society.

The previous doctrines had been revised several times, and Ella was quite busy. She figured Li Cheng could handle this small matter, so she didn't check it again.

“Let’s spread the doctrine to the leaders of other chapters through the Kingdom of God.”

Ella considered that once the palace on Lyra Peak was completed, she could gather all the members together in the mortal realm for a formal foundation-laying ceremony.

"no problem!"

After excitedly putting away the draft doctrine, Li Cheng took out a notebook and continued writing:

"By the way, Your Majesty, there's one more thing. Do you remember the agreement we signed when we obtained information about Miss Su from the Blackwater Gang?"

"If it's just the two of us in the house, there's no need to be so polite,"

Ella was really not used to Li Cheng's overly respectful tone. "Blackwater Gang... I think we should be considered one of our own now, right? Is there anything we haven't settled with them yet?"

"Well, to be precise, it's not that it's unresolved. We promised to help them deal with a councilor from the Tedeh Federation who came to Valen, but after getting involved in the vampire incident, no one had time to deal with it, so it was temporarily put on hold."

Ella thought for a moment before suddenly remembering, "Oh, Councilor Winder, right? I remember that guy."

"But the Blackwater Gang wanted to deal with him back then mainly because he stole their shady business in Valen. After the vampire incident, the Queen became one of our people, and with our funding, the Blackwater Gang no longer needs to do those things. There shouldn't be any need to deal with him anymore, right?"

“Those ‘businesses’ are certainly not the focus anymore, but during our time clearing out companies and remnants of the Samuel’s Secret Order in Warren, we discovered a very strange place.”

"eccentric?"

Ella raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, because of our pressure, the remaining personnel of the company are withdrawing from Valencia, so they have destroyed all the important data and documents in most of their bases."

"However, perhaps because the evacuation was too hasty, some fragments were left behind that were not completely cleaned up."

As Li Cheng spoke, he took out a piece of paper embedded in his notebook.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty. This is a copy. The original is temporarily stored in Loren. It was only by borrowing court mages from Loren from Minister Isaac that the fragments were restored and deciphered."

Ella was too lazy to complain about Li Cheng's use of honorifics anymore. She took the piece of paper and glanced at it.

The two lines of text above were very simple, but they immediately made Ella's eyes widen.

"Artificial Holy Grail Project"

"—Windsado"

She frowned slightly. Although the content was simple, it contained a great deal of information.

In the darkness, it seemed as if some fragmented pieces of information were connected.

"Is there anything strange about that place you just mentioned?"
