"What do we do?"

Isabella, who had remained silent the entire time, quietly watched the Scarab walk away, muttering:

"Convene the council and consult the elders."

"..."

On the other side, Merlin returned to the line of [Bell Guardians]. He extended his hand to refuse Dawn's offer of a coat and walked straight to Ling.

"I need your talents at a time like this," Merlin said.

Ling nodded decisively:

"Happy to oblige."

"Any other students you can recommend?" Merlin glanced back at the sea. "As long as we can figure out why the Storm Narwhals keep coming ashore, the sea will help us block the Imperial fleet."

Ling thought for a moment, then said:

"Since we are going to investigate, there is only one candidate left."

The two nodded at the same time. After all, among the Bell Keepers, there was only one person with such talent.

[The Peering Miko], Alice Pucht.

......

"Will it really not delay you?"

"Don't delay. I have to see you off."

At the steam train station, Alice put a scarf around Xingmo, took two steps back, and looked at her with a smile.

"Xiaomo is getting more and more beautiful. She is indeed a girl."

"Stop making trouble." Xing Mo muttered.

At this time, the train station was bustling with people - these were the first steam trains to leave the Citadel after the "October Rain" incident, so the passenger flow was naturally astonishing.

However, this had nothing to do with Xingmo. She was riding the Winter County K3 train, a slow train to the Far North that took a week.

Normally, trains along the coast would only take a day to reach Wintershire, but those trains were under the control of the Imperial Coast Guard.

As relations with the empire gradually deteriorated, Xingmo decided not to take that train.

After leaving the Citadel, the only one who could protect her was herself.

As for Aurora, since she was recovering her divinity, she should use as little force as possible.

"I've packed your clothes in the suitcase," Alice pushed the suitcase to Xingmo, "Remember to write to me often."

"Of course, I'll write at least once a week." Xing Mo nodded.

"Write once every three days. A week is too long." Alice shook her head.

"Three days then, no problem."

Seeing the worry in Alice's eyes, Xingmo smiled brightly:

"Don't worry, Senior, I won't get lost this time."

"I'm relieved about you, after all, you have that little evil god with you," Alice sighed, "but I feel that the county is really cold in winter..."

"Don't worry, I will come back during the Chinese New Year. Then you can accompany me to Dongcheng District to celebrate the New Year." Xing Mo said.

"New Year" is a festival for the Yanxia people. In the academic city, only the East District, where there are more Yanxia people, will hold the corresponding celebration.

"Of course. I've been with you every year." Alice smiled and rubbed Xingmo's head.

At this moment, the steam train let out a long whistle, which meant that it would depart in less than ten minutes.

"Then, I'm leaving."

Xingmo walked forward, hugged Alice, and gently patted her back.

It's normal for me to be worried... After all, the last time I went to the Far North, I almost died...

This time, returning to the old place also faces unpredictable dangers.

But when Xing Mo thought that there was someone caring about her behind her, she was no longer afraid.

2) The Scarab's Voice (Part 2) - 4k - (2-in-1)

Meanwhile, Aurora gave Alia some instructions, including the next course of action for the Holy Tree Cult.

After Aurora finished her instructions, Alia nodded respectfully:

"Okay! Lord Prophet!"

Well...Aurora has changed her identity to a prophet - this way she can get rid of some embarrassing things.

Before, she vaguely hinted to Arya that she had a close connection with the evil god, which aroused a lot of Arya's imagination, and she even speculated that she was the evil god himself.

But after being captured and hung on a tree by Lucius, she suddenly felt ashamed to play the role of the evil god.

So, there is nothing wrong with being a prophet!

Anyway, whatever the prophet said is equivalent to what the gods said. If you round it up, it is still a god, but when it comes to embarrassment, it will not hurt the person's face!

"I've left all the money for you," Aurora said finally. "If you're hungry, go buy some food. Don't be stingy."

"You won't go hungry, Lord Prophet," Alya smiled. "Bianca and the others can cook now!"

"Well, don't worry. Miss Lilitz has now become the bishop of the Holy Tree Church. She will take care of you."

The "Church of the Holy Tree" refers to the former "Cathedral of St. Auros", which has now been renamed.

"That's all right, let's go."

Aurora solemnly reached out her hand and patted Alia on the shoulder:

“May the ‘Tree of Life’ protect your dreams.”

After saying that, she walked towards the train door with solemn steps, trying her best to leave a mysterious and powerful back for herself.

But before she took a few steps, a figure rushed over and picked her up directly -

——It was Xingmo. She dragged the suitcase in one hand, picked up Aurora in the other, and rushed to the car door.

"Let's drive! Hurry, hurry!"

"Wow! Put me down! I have legs! I can walk!"

"..."

Looking at Xingmo and Aurora's backs disappearing behind the car door, Alia was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly.

Miss Saint and the Prophet have a very good relationship.

She turned around, stepped into the shadows without anyone noticing, and disappeared.

......

The aisles inside the train are spacious but very limited. The compartments are arranged on one side of the train and the windows on the other side.

Xingmo pulled her suitcase and walked arduously in the corridor, looking for a private room.

As for why it is so "difficult"...

Of course it's because Aurora sat on the suitcase...

"Seven days~ Seven days~" Aurora shook her little feet, "It will be very boring~"

"If you're bored, just go to sleep. Aren't you the master of dreams?" Xing Mo said, struggling to pull the suitcase. "By the way, can you give me some interesting dreams?"

"Like what?" Aurora turned her head.

"For example, give me a kitchen with unlimited ingredients so that I can cook whatever I want without having to worry about the cost." Xing Mo imagined.

"The God of Cooking has returned to His holy altar," Aurora stuck out her tongue solemnly, "but no."

"why?"

"Because we can't eat it." Aurora blinked.

You are awesome...

Xingmo took a deep breath and continued to pull the suitcase with the kitten lying on it, moving forward in the corridor.

Fortunately, the box was not far from the entrance, and Xingmo soon stood at the door of the box.

Opening the door of the box, simple furnishings appeared before one's eyes: a bed, a bedside desk, and a simple bathroom.

Well... simplicity is only relative. This compartment is already the first-class compartment on the entire train, and most needs can be met in the room.

As for the kitchen, it should be fine to borrow it.

"It feels so comfortable~" Aurora kicked off her shoes and threw herself onto the bed, "It's just a little small."

"It's a train after all, there's nothing we can do." Xing Mo put the suitcase against the wall.

"It's okay. If the bed is small, you can hold me and suck at night." Aurora covered her face.

"No smoking..." Xingmo sighed.

Intimacy is allowed, but not excessive!

"Woo——————"

Another whistle sounded, and with the carriage shaking, the steam train began to move slowly.

At this time, Xingmo heard the voice of her senior schoolmate outside the window:

"Xiaomo——"

Xingmo walked to the window, opened it, and found that Senior Alice was still on the platform, waving at her.

"Senior sister, you haven't gone back yet?" Xing Mo shouted amid the sound of tracks.

"Leave immediately, leave immediately."

Alice quickly followed the slowly moving train and once again instructed Xingmo:

"Spend the money you were given. The house is already rented. There's a fireplace on the first floor. Use it if you want. Don't be stingy!"

"Don't worry, senior sister, I will!" Xing Mo shouted.

"Don't be silly and hang your clothes outside to dry in the cold weather. They will freeze if they freeze!" Alice quickened her pace.

"I know!"

As the train sped up, Alice began to run across the terrace, shouting as she went:

"If you're cold, drink more hot soup. Don't freeze yourself. You can't investigate properly if you have a cold, you know!"

"Okay, I definitely will!" Xing Mo waved at Alice, "Senior! Don't follow me!"

"Take good care of yourself! And take good care of that little guy!"

Alice ran along for a while, until she could no longer keep pace with the train, and then she stopped.

Alice smiled and sighed as she watched the steam train pull out of the station.

"Alas... I always feel as worried as taking care of a child..."

She watched the steam train disappear in the thick white mist, then stood alone for a long time before turning around and leaving.

"..."

On the train, Xingmo kept watching her senior disappear in the steam, then she retracted her head.

She closed the window, smiled and shook her head:

"Senior is always like this. I always feel like she's just like my parents. I can't help but feel uneasy..."

Xingmo turned her head and met Aurora's gaze, and found that the little girl was puffing out her cheeks.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"You're smiling so happily! What's going on?" Aurora put her hands on her hips.

Huh? Can't you just laugh?

Xing Mo was stunned for a moment, then she realized that the little guy might be jealous.

Why are you jealous... She felt a little funny, and her smile became even brighter.
