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

“These people…are…!”

"They are the ones who went with you to respond to the evil god crisis," Lucius said in a low voice. "They are all prisoners of the Empire. With the pardon of the Golden King, they became members of the Immortals."

The two looked at each other, and Xingmo felt a chill spreading from his spine and spread throughout his body.

In fact, the evil god-level crisis that Aurora encountered was not evil god-level at first, but mythical creature-level.

The intelligence came from the Machiavelli Empire's "Immortal Palace", which was the empire's elite intelligence agency and had deep roots in the intelligence network across the entire Vesta continent.

That intelligence indicated that mythical creatures were about to breach the borders of Mortiheim and enter the Empire. Countless beings from ancient times were sealed within that perpetually frozen land, and they would occasionally breach containment. Responding to such threats was something the Citadel had grown accustomed to over the centuries.

The breach of containment by mythical creatures often meant uncontrollable consequences, so the "City of Learning" naturally sent out "Bell Keepers" at the first opportunity, that is, "Saint"-level wizards who had mastered five-string magic or above.

This is how Xingmo made a long journey. She met up with the imperials and headed to the Caradorans Mountains together.

The moment they arrived, the "Immortal Palace" suddenly announced that the threat from the mythical creature level had risen to the evil god level.

The Citadel immediately dispatched Iceflame Vivian for reinforcement, but by the time she arrived at the Caradorans Ridge on her dragon, the battle was already over.

All the people in the empire were declared dead, Xingmo disappeared, and the so-called "evil god" was nowhere to be found.

"I thought you were dead, but you're not," Lucius murmured. "After receiving your letter, I immediately began to research information about the 'Exile Ceremony'. At the same time, I discovered many suspicious points."

"First of all, those Imperials are all on death row. 'Immortals' is just a title. They are just discarded pawns and don't have much combat power."

"If the Imperials truly wanted to stop the invasion of mythical creatures, how could they possibly send such a weak force? They should have at least three Immortals of your level."

"You mean... their original intention was to allow the mythical creatures to break out of containment?" Xing Mo murmured.

"Even worse, I'm afraid they want the evil god to come." Lucius said.

He stood up and waved his staff, and golden starlight formed the shape of a tall tower in the center of the room.

"'White Tower'?" Xing Mo raised her head.

3) Sunshine! Academy! Miss Evil! (Part 7)

"The crisis only escalated to Heretic God-level when you arrived. The Immortal Palace's subsequent explanation was that their intelligence system misjudged it."

Lucius' voice was very low:

"There's nothing wrong with their explanation. After all, the Machiavelli Empire's mystical system isn't very strong, so misjudgment is common."

Having said that, Xing Mo stood up, as if realizing something:

"But the White Tower couldn't have misjudged..."

"That's right," Lucius nodded. "Before each Bell Guardian is dispatched, the White Tower will conduct astrological divination to confirm whether the location of the intelligence poses a real threat."

"However, the information provided by the White Tower that time was... the threat was at the level of a mythical creature."

"You mean, someone has modified the real information given by the 'White Tower'?" Xing Mo's hands trembled slightly.

This is a very terrifying thing. The "White Tower" has always been considered a miracle left by the "Star Sea Goddess" herself. Looking at the entire academy, only a very small number of high-ranking people can enter the "White Tower".

If the tutor's guess is correct, then an Imperial spy has already infiltrated the Citadel, and he holds a very high position in the Citadel.

Their goal is to bring down the evil god, and this guy can even enter the White Tower...

"This is blasphemy..." Xingmo murmured.

"And they have achieved their wish. The evil god has descended and entered the Citadel, and it happened to be during the time when Principal Merlin was away," Lucius whispered.

"Is this all part of their plan?"

Xingmo suddenly felt her heart being gripped.

"No...it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought her in..."

"Don't blame yourself. You could never have anticipated this," Lucius consoled her. "In fact, it would be more beneficial for us if you brought her into the Citadel. The Imperial spy is in a high position and unlikely to reveal himself anytime soon. This is our opportunity."

"Do you want to use Aurora to lure that guy out?" Xing Mo looked up.

"That's right. As long as that little girl is still in the Citadel, sooner or later someone will cause trouble for her," Lucius said. "The rainstorm from outside is indeed terrible, but what will really kill us will only be the hole in the umbrella."

Xing Mo took a deep breath and calmed herself down:

"I'll keep her steady while keeping an eye on who has intentions towards her."

"That's my student," Lucius nodded approvingly. "There's no need to panic. No matter what the Imperials' intentions are, as long as we banish that evil god from this world, their schemes will naturally be thwarted."

Lucius waved his staff again, and the golden starlight in the sky changed rapidly, forming a string magic circle.

"What is this?" Xing Mo murmured.

"For the string ritual of the 'Exile Ceremony', we'll need Merlin's superstring array, a large amount of auxiliary materials, and some key materials."

The golden light quickly formed words, listing the materials needed for the ritual:

"'Angel's Tears', 'God's Blood'?" Xing Mo frowned.

"This is the key to the ritual. We need to let the evil god wear the 'Angel's Tears', use her blood to mix a potion, seal her status in the tears, and then use the string array to banish her from this world." Lucius explained.

"Regardless of what 'Angel's Tears' are, 'God's Blood' is harder to obtain than ascending to heaven," Xing Mo's mouth twitched. "Teacher, do you think God can bleed?"

Lucius was stunned for a moment, then held his forehead.

“It’s really a nerve-wracking thing…”

You just realized how daunting this is! Of course it's a daunting task! That guy is an evil god! Why not just kill her if you can make her bleed?

"I...I'll think of a way..." Xing Mo sighed, "What about the 'Angel's Tears'?"

"Ah, that's not too much of a headache," Lucius' eyes lit up. "I've heard there's an Angel's Tear enshrined in a church in the northern part of the city. I can just borrow it under the pretext of academic research."

"Church? Which church?" Xing Mo had a bad feeling.

"'St. Auros Cathedral'." Lucius said.

Xingmo:......

Mentor...what would you think if I told you that the church has become the lair of the evil god?

If Aurora's previous behavior was like dancing on Saint Auros' face, then Xingmo's going to the church to take the "Angel's Tears" was like dancing on Aurora's face...

Seeing Xingmo's face was a little ugly, Lucius asked quickly:

"what happened?"

Xingmo told her mentor about the church being stolen by Aurora, and soon, two people were sighing.

"Is this the only one...?" Xing Mo glanced at his instructor.

"Before, I could have gone to the White Tower area to look up information and see if there's any inventory in the temple beneath the White Tower," Lucius said. "But now, if I go there, it's bound to attract the attention of the insider... If he learns of our intentions, he'll definitely act more aggressively."

"Let me think of a solution first... I have to go to the church to clean it on Sunday anyway..." Xing Mo said.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaomo."

"By the way, there is another clue. Aurora told me... 'Steam Man' is not a mythical creature. I think you understand what I mean." Xingmo recalled the previous conversation.

Hearing this, Lucius was startled and gently stroked his chin:

"It's not a mythical creature... but it's at least fifth-string magic..."

"Please tell Senior Alice for me," Xingmo said, "Tell her... to be careful."

Lucius was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief:

"You are always so kind, Xiaomo."

He stood up and clapped his hands.

"Alright, Star Stream Vision is almost over. I can only use the Observatory on Wednesdays, so let's exchange information during this time from now on."

After saying this, Lucius was about to lift the barrier, but Xingmo quickly stood up and stopped him:

"Wait a minute! Teacher, I want to ask you something...um...about me becoming a girl..."

Lucius was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly:

"I thought you didn't want to talk about this, so I didn't ask..."

Of course I don't want to mention it! But if I don't, I'll just be a girl forever!

Xingmo sighed:

"...I want to change back, is there a chance?"

"At least I can't do anything about it," Lucius spread his hands. "Changing gender is probably something only gods can do, right? You said in your letter that guy's authority should be 'life', right?"

There’s nothing I can do...Xing Mo’s eyes drooped slightly, and she felt lost for a moment.

"Don't be discouraged. Isn't it nice to be a pretty girl? You will be more popular than before." Lucius blinked.

"I wish no one noticed me..." Xingmo sighed.

"Don't worry, I have made some preliminary progress in my research on the String of Life. Maybe I can find a way to change you back then." Lucius encouraged Xing Mo.

"Alas... this is the only thing I don't quite believe you about..." Xing Mo glanced at her mentor, "Last time I saw you turn a frog into a tadpole, a tadpole with three heads. Before that, I couldn't even imagine a tadpole with three heads in my nightmares..."

"Ah... that was an accident..." Lucius smiled bitterly.

At this time, the time of "Star Stream Vision" has arrived. The golden light covering the Observatory dissipates, the evening breeze rushes into the open attic, and the pale blue moonlight shines in.

At this moment, Lucius suddenly thought of something, took out a key from his pocket and threw it to Xingmo:

"By the way, if you need a base of operations outside the Citadel, you can use Miriam's small apartment."

Xing Mo took the key, was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"Is this...really appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about that? After all, it's you who's living there. If she knew about it in the Star Sea, she would be relieved."

Lucius spoke calmly, but Xingmo still saw a hint of sadness in his mentor's eyes.

"Actually, when I asked you who your fiancée was, there was a moment when I hoped you could tell me her name."

After saying that, Lucius turned around, walked to the edge of the observatory, and looked at the starry sky.

Looking at the mentor's back, Xing Mo stood there for a while before pushing the door and leaving.

......

3) Sunshine! Academy! Miss Evil! (Part 8)

On the way back to the East Tower, Xingmo felt a lump in his heart.

I always feel that the instructor seemed unhappy at the end... Maybe it was because of Miriam's incident...

Xing Mo sighed, and when she thought of the past, her heart began to churn again.

Miriam is the daughter of mentor Lucius. She is in the same grade as Xingmo and has maintained a very good relationship with her since she entered school.

Apart from senior Alice, Xingmo's best friend in the academy is Miriam.

The two of them ate together, attended classes together, and did homework together, and for a long time they were mistaken for being a couple.

There was even a time when the mentor often said... Miriam should marry Xiaomo when she grows up!

Actually, Xingmo didn't dislike Miriam, but her affection was more like the affection between friends. She hadn't fallen in love yet, so how could she consider marriage?

She and Miriam were like two cats curled up together, licking each other's fur, keeping each other warm, and rubbing against each other from time to time.

Until an accident took Miriam away.

It was an alchemical accident, at least that was publicly known, in which Miriam tragically died.

That day, Xingmo saw the furious and mad mentor for the first time. The starlight blooming from his body was as dazzling as a sharp blade stabbed down from the sky by the gods, tearing apart the night of the academy.

Ever since Miriam left, Xingmo has been curled up in the corner, and no one has entered her life except senior Alice.

And now... she was going to use Miriam's small apartment as her base of operations... She was going back to Miriam's residence...

Xingmo raised her head and looked at the night sky outside the corridor, looking at the sea of ​​stars and the pale blue half moon.

Miriam, are you still there looking at me?

"..."

Xingmo quickened her pace and walked in the corridor without saying a word.

The moonlight is shining, but the night is so dark.
