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

"So, I can't visit the cafe anymore?" Xing Mo said with some regret.

Putting everything else aside, the coffee in Miss Pollis's shop is really delicious.

Hearing that Xingmo wanted to be a guest, Perlis smiled faintly:

"You can still come to the cafe, but you'll have to rely on yourself for most of the upcoming crises."

As she spoke, Perlis glanced at the church entrance and muttered:

"Take care of her."

She looked at Aurora with a gentle gaze, like a breeze blowing over the rice fields in spring.

"Aren't you going to talk to her?" Xing Mo was a little surprised.

"No, the little one has to grow up on his own," Perlis retracted her gaze, "It's better to let him go freely than to spoil him."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and took out a small whistle from her pocket:

"Are you going on a long journey? If you have anything to ask me, blow this whistle and a messenger will come to get it."

Xing Mo took the small whistle and looked at it carefully: it was a silver whistle with a vine pattern, slender overall and shaped like wings.

"thank you..."

She put the whistle in her pocket, raised her head, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"By the way, I have one last thing I want to ask."

"Hmm?" Perlis tilted her head.

"What is the relationship between the 'Star Sea Goddess' and the 'Red Moon'?"

After asking this question, Xingmo clutched his chest, waiting for the truth to come.

She had always had a vague suspicion: Could that red moon be the goddess? Otherwise, who could have created this false starry sky?

"..."

Perlis stared at Xingmo for a while, her blood-red eyes full of consideration.

Then she shook her head.

She didn't know either? Xing Mo was stunned, but soon understood the true meaning in Perlis's eyes -

——This means that the two are not equal.

'Star Sea Goddess' is not the same as 'Red Moon'.

"The rest is up to you to dig."

After saying that, Perlis stood up, faced the wind blowing in the square, and disappeared in the crowd.

Xingmo turned around and saw that Aurora had almost finished her speech and the ceremony had already begun.

Suddenly, a hat floated over from not far away and circled around Xingmo's head several times.

Xingmo looked closely and saw that it was a black gentleman's hat fluttering above her head, as if waiting for her response.

"....." Xing Mo's mouth twitched, and she immediately knew who the hat belonged to.

"Just now?" Xing Mo said in a low voice.

The hat ignored her and fluttered towards the edge of the square like a very arrogant crow.

Xingmo sighed helplessly. She left a note on the candy stall, got up and went to chase the hat.

......

Following the hat across the street, Xingmo arrived outside a dessert shop.

The hat circled around the store entrance for a few times, and then flew in when a customer pushed the door open.

"..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xing Mo straightened his tie helplessly and then pushed the door open to enter the store.

The interior decoration of the dessert shop is simple and quaint, with carved mahogany tables and chairs neatly placed on the red velvet carpet, and abstract paintings hanging on the walls, as if the owner is showing off his style.

As soon as he entered the door, Xing Mo felt the surging spiritual power coming towards him.

She quietly opened her spiritual vision and glanced around casually, and her sight was suddenly dotted with green light.

There are at least five "saints", Xingmo muttered in his heart.

The only organization that could mobilize so many "Saints" in the Citadel at once was naturally the "Bell Guardians".

The "Bell Guardian" who went out on a mission in the city is back...

Xingmo was alert and walked into the store calmly, heading towards the seat in the corner by the window.

Sure enough, the hat was hovering over the seat closest to the window, as if greeting Xingmo.

Xingmo walked over and saw that the hat fell into the hands of a gentleman - he was sitting with his legs crossed, looking at Xingmo with a smile in his eyes.

"Miss Xingmo," Merlin smiled and clapped his hands, "After not seeing you for a few months, it seems you've finally found your true self."

Xingmo sat down opposite Merlin and placed her hands on the table.

Seeing her slightly wary look, Merlin shook his head:

"Don't worry, the Bell Guardians won't be conducting an internal purge. Besides, I'm more than enough to deal with you on my own."

"Then why let them come here?" Xing Mo asked warily.

"For my favorite coffee pudding, of course."

Merlin said, pulling out his wand and tapping it gracefully in the air.

Everything in the store seemed to come alive at this moment: the plates floated up automatically, floating in the air with the coffee and hot cocoa; the dress placed on the hanger next to the bar floated up by itself, picked up the menu at the front desk, and waited like a waiter.

A few seconds later, two plates carrying coffee pudding floated over and landed on the table between Merlin and Xingmo.

Merlin waved his wand and conjured up two sets of silver cutlery out of thin air. He placed one of them on the napkin and pushed it to Xingmo.

"Please eat with me first. You have to know that the Giant King's Court has never been a suitable place to deal with, especially at this moment..."

This sentence made Xing Mo raise his head: Giant King's Court? So Principal Merlin was out of the city for so long just for the giants?

"I thought all the giants went underground after the Age of Gods," said Xingmo.

Merlin scooped off a piece of the bouncy patch with a spoon, put it in his mouth, and said incoherently:

"Obviously, they missed the air above..."

"You know, the mountains of Falu are the territory of the fire dragon. We have to do something before they destroy the world..."

"The poor Faroese are almost out of beetroot soup under the Empire's offensive. If anything goes wrong in the rear, alas..."

Merlin's few words outlined Xingmo's infinite fantasy. In just a few words, she had imagined a war between dragons and giants.

There are many demigod-level beings among those mythical creatures. If a fight breaks out, the scale will be quite large.

"What's the result?" Xing Mo became curious, as if she was following a serialized novel in the newspaper.

"I mediated, and made a few promises along the way... Oh, what a shame..."

Merlin tapped his spoon on the plate in dissatisfaction.

"To put it bluntly, those stinking giants never expected to defeat a dragon. I guess their goal was to lure me over."

"Your narcissism hasn't changed." Xing Mo sighed.

Yes, the real Principal Merlin was never the sculpture in Merlin Square: with a big beard and a big nose, and a serious expression as if all the students who failed owed him a life.

The real Merlin is a witty and humorous man... You can't say he is an old man, but you can say he is well maintained. He looks between 30 and 40 years old. He is the kind of old gentleman who can become the focus of the ball by dressing up.

Although his real age is over a hundred.

Well...a real old immortal.

Although Principal Meilin had asked her to come here this time as a precaution, Xingmo still had a certain degree of trust in him.

When Xingmo first joined the "Bell Guardian", this principal had given Xingmo a lot of help, and it was under his guidance that Xingmo mastered the "Flame Spirit Authority".

However, my current identity has changed, so the things I should be wary of must naturally change as well.

Xingmo scooped a small piece of coffee pudding with a spoon, put it in her mouth, and took a sip before it opened.

A faint bitterness and sweetness permeate the air, the sugar content is moderate and the taste is very good.

Seeing Xingmo start to eat pudding, Merlin smiled and said:

"After becoming a girl, your behavior is much more pleasing to the eye. It turns out that you were suited to being a girl from the very beginning."

"Nonsense," Xing Mo muttered, "That's not true..."

"Oh? Do you want to change back?" Merlin teased.

Xingmo touched her lips with a spoon, raised her head, and thought for a moment:

"Yeah... I'm used to it..."

"So, the soul still has a certain degree of understanding of the body," Merlin smiled faintly. "I read your oral statement in the report submitted by Alice. Yes, it seems that the golden full moon is more suitable for you, rather than the blue stars."

"Do you know anything about those two things?" Xing Mo asked.

"Yes, a beautiful painter lady mentioned it to me while we were having dinner together. Gold plus blue equals green..."

Merlin raised the spoon, closed one eye, and focused on Xingmo's emerald green eyes:

"It's the same color as your eyes."

"What about the others?" Xing Mo tilted her head.

"Gone."

Then you know nothing...

Xingmo sighed. If Principal Merlin didn't know her secret, then at least no one in the academy would know it.

Seeing Xingmo's dejected look, Merlin showed off his patch again and changed the subject:

"Let's get down to business. I think the Giant King's Court's actions are somewhat related to the recent events in the Citadel."

"Of course, it's also possible that the Giant's spies have heard something about what the Golden King is doing and believe that the Faru region is no longer peaceful..."

"Are you referring to the war?" Xing Mo looked up.

"It is a war, but it is not the war between the Empire and Falu, nor is it the war between the Empire and us that may come at any time."

Merlin raised his head and looked directly into Xingmo's emerald green eyes:

"It's a secret war."

"It's about the 'Shepherd's String'."

......

1) Coffee Pudding (Part 5) - 4k - (2-in-1)

"'Shepherd's String'..."

The moment this word sounded, Xingmo's eyes became dull.

In an instant, golden stars flashed before her eyes, as chaotic as sunlight shattered among ears of rice in spring.

hand.

A pair of hands drew lines that were infinitely long, essential, constrained, and omnipresent.

Countless threads intertwine in the world, outlining the edges of all things and outlining the two original figures.

The golden light was brilliant, and the dragons and angels on earth looked up at the starry sky until the new moon rose in the sky.

"call--"

Xingmo blinked, and those images shattered, and the scene of the dessert shop returned to her eyes again.

Merlin seemed to see the confusion on her face and smiled:

"Not bad. He was only stunned for two minutes after hearing this word. You are indeed the Six-String Sage who has a little secret."

I was just stunned for two minutes...? Xingmo looked down and found that the spoon she had been holding had fallen onto the plate with a small piece of pudding on it.

She picked up the spoon, put the coffee pudding into her mouth, and sipped the sweetness.
