The Villain Saint is my secondary account

At the same time, Ye Xiao's exceptional perception detected a magical fluctuation focused on him.

Detection spell?

Ye Xiao curled the corners of his mouth. The spell was quite advanced, probably at the master level.

If you enjoy watching this so much, then you can watch it to your heart's content.

The servant was still spying on Ye Xiao, and a pale yellow twilight enveloped the latter in his field of vision.

That's a sign of abundant physical strength, a characteristic usually found only in warriors and swordsmen.

However, the mist was sometimes thick and sometimes thin, drifting erratically, making it difficult to gauge its intensity.

The servant squinted, but vaguely saw that the thin mist seemed to be swirling, as if it were the center of a vortex.

His gaze was slowly drawn in, deeper and deeper, until he sank into the depths of the vortex and suddenly fell into a vast void.

The servant felt his body floating in the air, weightless and confused. In a daze, he only saw a deep red rift that encompassed the sky slowly opening up in the dense darkness beneath his feet.

Like an abyss tearing apart the entire sky, when it fully opened, the attendant was astonished to find that it was actually an enormous eyeball.

Compared to that eyeball, he was like an insignificant speck of dust floating above a planet. That sense of powerlessness and insignificance caused a sudden, inexplicable fear to surge into his heart.

"what!!!"

The servant let out a strange cry and fell to the ground, making a clattering sound.

The surrounding servants looked on in surprise, only to see his pale face covered in cold sweat.

“That’s…that’s…”

The servant, noticing the strange looks around him, tried to describe what he had just seen.

But like waking from a dream, the images in the dream seemed to be erased by an eraser, quickly fading from his mind.

In the end, he could only utter a few incoherent murmurs before being helped out of the room by other servants.

"Hey, whose servant is this? How come he has epilepsy?"

Ye Xiao glanced in that direction with feigned surprise. "I've heard that the servants of noble families are carefully selected. Could it be that the master has some special preference for someone like this?"

"cough……"

Several people in the room tried hard to suppress their laughter. The servants' uniforms all had family crests, so it was easy to tell whose family they belonged to at a glance.

Margaret gripped the fan in her hand tightly, and her gaze toward Ye Xiao became somewhat unfriendly, but more so filled with doubt.

"Ahem, Miss Windsor, let's get back to the main topic."

While Ye Xiao was drawing aggro, Raymond quickly got down to business.

"Thank you very much for your invitation, but we are here mainly hoping to ask you for a favor."

"you say,"

Miss Windsor asked curiously, "Since it's your request, I'll do my best to help."

"grateful."

Raymond smiled gratefully, then pulled a delicate miniature scroll from his sleeve, flicked it along the table in an arc, and it landed in Miss Windsor's hand.

There were many noble scions and servants from other families around, so it was never appropriate to publicize the Fire Seed Project. Therefore, Raymond had taken this into consideration and specially made a small scroll with his request engraved on it.

Miss Windsor took the scroll, opened it in her palm, glanced at it, and then a knowing look appeared on her face.

"Understood, leave it to me."

As she said this, Miss Windsor's tone even revealed an undisguised excitement.

This immediately piqued the curiosity of the group of noblemen around them. They wondered what was written on the paper that could make Miss Windsor so happy all of a sudden.

Even Ye Xiao was a little surprised. He leaned closer to Raymond and asked in a low voice, "What did you write?"

"I wrote that I asked if there could be a few spots available for us to join the program as attendants."

Raymond replied in a low voice.

He was also a little puzzled. He agreed, but why was he so excited?

As the two whispered among themselves, Miss Windsor raised another finger and said, "That's true, but I have a request. Arranging this is very difficult, so the seats I've assigned you can't be changed easily."

Ye Xiao and Raymond exchanged a glance, then said in unison, "We understand, we understand."

"That's fine then. I'll fulfill my promise to you now."

Miss Windsor stood up and stretched.

"We've had enough tea, it's time to stretch our legs."

The group of noble children and Ye Xiao's group were all confused, but then they saw Miss Windsor walk around the table and stand next to Ye Xiao. She covered the corner of her mouth, which she couldn't suppress, with her left hand, and gracefully extended her slender right hand.

"So, newly appointed guard knight, now it's time for you to go dance with your master, hehe."

Chapter 151 Twilight Overture

The banquet hall was brightly lit.

When the purple-haired girl in an elegant gown led the tall, thin mercenary in simple clothes down the steps, almost all eyes were on her.

For the nobles, their servants, their family guards, their corporate clients…

As the orchestra played a melodious tune on the violin, thousands of eyes widened in astonishment.

Most of them didn't know Ye Xiao, but everyone who came here knew Miss Windsor.

Indeed, it shouldn't have been accepted.

Ye Xiao followed Miss Windsor to the center of the lobby, forcing a smile.

He had no idea he would be assigned the role of a bodyguard; in principle, the Duke should have filled such a position long ago.

As for dancing together, that was completely unexpected. With Miss Windsor's deliberate "design," he couldn't even find a reason to refuse.

What kind of spy attracts so much attention?

Ye Xiao had no choice but to follow the lead of the cheerful Miss Windsor and gently begin to dance.

At the side of the banquet, Duke Tyron, who was talking with a senator, was initially delighted to see his daughter attending the banquet, but then frowned immediately upon seeing Ye Xiao.

"Who is this blond guy?"

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but Baron Kalon's hair was dark brown, and Ye Xiao deliberately disguised himself for this false identity, so he used the system's dye to dye his hair the same color.

"This is……"

The old butler beside him hurriedly checked the personnel roster, "One of the mercenaries who was temporarily hired by the young lady during the airship hijacking. It was later found that this mercenary team was from the company's outpost, under the command of the Moon Guardians."

“I remember instructing Sebastian to keep these people away from Windsor.”

Duke Tyron said in a deep voice, "What is he doing?"

The other member of parliament speaking with Duke Tyran was an older man with a resolute face. His hair and beard were white, but he did not look old. Instead, he looked radiant on his chiseled, resolute face.

"Hehehe, Basol,"

The councilor addressed the Duke of Tyrann by his first name with familiarity, saying, "Children have their own destiny to bestow, so there's no need to interfere too much."

"Rodrigo, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering."

Duke Tyron smirked. "If Margaret were to find such a vulgar mercenary to dance with, I'd like to see if you'd still be laughing."

"Don't be so definitive. You know your daughter; she has very high standards. The academic genius that my Margaret has been pursuing isn't even on your daughter's radar."

Rodrigo swirled the wine in his glass. "Perhaps this mercenary does indeed possess some extraordinary abilities."

"It's just unrealistic fantasy of young people."

Duke Tyron snorted, "The company's interdimensional travelers bring some novel cultures from other worlds; they're quite adept at fooling children."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Rodrigo couldn't help but chuckle. "As expected of you."

"What are you saying?"

Duke Tyron turned his head away, no longer looking at the blond-haired man who had spoiled his mood. "It seems I'll have to give Windsor a good talking-to after the banquet."

"Why bother? As long as the children are happy, that's all that matters."

Rodrigo sighed softly, "Our noble rituals are truly insignificant in the face of that witch's threat."

"One yard owned by a yard."

Duke Tyron picked up his glass and took a sip.

……

At the same time, Miss Beller, who was standing by the railing on the second floor, looked at Ye Xiao's figure in the center of the lobby with a complicated expression.

"That scumbag! He's so careful with his words, but when it comes to womanizing, he's ruthless."

Beside her, Astra the Star Weaver stroked her chin, silently staring at Ye Xiao, lost in thought.

……

Accompanied by elegant dance music, the grand banquet at the Duke's residence came to a smooth close.

But beneath its glamorous facade, countless undercurrents have begun to surge, like the trembling threads of a spider web, intertwining and pulling each other, ultimately drawing all the forces on this continent toward a sweet bait laden with gold.

……

Day two.

Let's turn our attention back to the distant holy city.

The petite Ella was lounging on the throne in the White Tower Council Hall, one hand propping up her cheek.

In the center of the main hall, a bright red carpet stretched out in a line from the marble to the portico, where the high-ranking officials of the church who had been brought under the auspices of the church stood respectfully on either side.

On the left is the military representative group led by the Sword Saint Julius, including Augustus, Li Cheng, and Decari, while on the right is the civil representative group led by the Grand Commander Isaac, including the Second Princess Lilia and the alchemist Hyde.

Before them sat little Alina, dressed in the clothes of an apprentice priest, wearing round-framed glasses bigger than her face, holding a thick-covered book, acting as one of the two scribes alongside the knight Reinaldo.

The golden retriever, Greta, lay on the left armrest of the throne with her front paws raised, squinting as if sunbathing, while a large black dog sat arrogantly under the chair.

Behind the chair, two demon leaders, Voron and Haragati, who had taken human form, were fanning Ella with large fans.

Having risen from demons to become the chief servant of the Lord of the Sanctuary, the two demons didn't know whether this was a success or a failure in their career.

"My esteemed ministers, you are all now aware of the matter concerning the upgrade plan."

Ella's ethereal voice echoed slowly in the hall. Although she was young and inexperienced and did not deliberately exert much authority, everyone present listened attentively.

"The company's scheme against the Dark Seekers has reached its final stage. Now it's time for us to take action."

Ye Xiao's undercover agent obtained information about this final plan, and Ella naturally couldn't just sit idly by; she had to rely entirely on Ye Xiao's side to take action and respond.

This is ultimately the final battle between the Old God and her. Regardless of their internal motives, the company and the Dark Shepherd will do everything in their power to deal with her.

Therefore, the Holy Light Revelation Society, which now encompasses the Holy Temple and the Loren Empire and is now incredibly large, must naturally prepare for a direct confrontation.

This is why almost all of the Revelation Society's top leaders gathered together at this moment.

"Hmph! The company and the Dark Shepherd, two treacherous and utterly deceitful rats!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Cheng cupped his hands and took a step forward.

"Our Holy Maiden is concerned about the country and its people, wise and powerful. She has slain the Church of Life and condemned its corruption and evil, saving the Holy City and the Empire from peril. She governs the country and helps the people with her clear vision, ensuring that the people live in peace and prosperity, and that merchants from Loren come and go in an endless stream!"

"Since Her Majesty took office, the national treasury has been full, the military has been well-equipped, education has flourished, and all industries have prospered. Furthermore, she treats the virtuous with respect and is open to wise counsel, attracting talented individuals from all over the world to the Holy City. Her virtue is as high as the sun and the moon..."

"Cough, cough."

Ella covered her mouth with her fist in embarrassment, wondering where Byd Li Cheng had learned such eloquence from his college entrance exam essays. "There's no need to say more. Let's get straight to the point."

“The Dark Shepherd and the Company are two beasts. I dare to suggest that Your Majesty lead us across the sea, land directly on Aslan, crush them, and seize the Tomb of Life.”

Li Cheng's words were a wake-up call.

Chapter 152 War Council

"A journey to Aslan should be approached with caution,"

Just then, Julius stroked his chin, his brow furrowed, and said with a hint of worry, “The large teleportation portal currently only connects the Holy City and Loren. If the fleet departs from the Holy City, it will have to sail along the northern coastline of the continent and march over the snow-capped mountains north of Aslan. The area is sparsely populated and has a treacherous terrain, like the spine of a giant dragon. The march will be extremely difficult and probably not suitable.”
