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

"I have to play my role well..." Xingmo muttered and put on his hood.

She was about to walk forward with Aurora when someone suddenly called out to her from behind:

"Miss Jie Daiti, see you later!"

The corner of Xingmo's mouth twitched slightly, and then she turned around and saw Chloe walking out of the carriage with two guerrillas.

"Goodbye..."

Xing Mo waved her hand perfunctorily, but suddenly became curious:

"By the way, what are you guerrillas doing in Winter County?"

"A secret operation, miss," Chloe winked mysteriously. "Interested?"

"No." Xing Mo said and turned away.

"Hey! Wait a minute! Is it really..."

Xingmo simply left Chloe's noise behind and walked out of the platform with Aurora.

"Mr. Luffy, didn't you say goodbye to him?" Aurora suddenly said.

"He said goodbye yesterday and got off the carriage early," Xing Mo said, "The old man will transfer to a carriage from the outskirts of Winter County and head northeast, all the way to the Machiavelli Empire."

"That sounds like hard work..." Aurora took a breath of the cold air.

"It's okay. It will soon warm up if we head east," Xingmo smiled. "The desert in the empire is very hot."

If it weren't for the dead zone of "Motiheim", the climate here should be dry.

Because of the curse of the vast ice sheet, it snows in Winter County all year round, with almost no exceptions.

"Well, it's time to find our little house!"

Xingmo and Aurora arrived outside the steam train station, walked through the crowd of people wearing fur, and came to the bleak streets of Winter County.

The cold snowflakes danced in the gusts of cold wind. There were very few pedestrians on the street, and most of them had just come out of the station.

There were a few carriages waiting to be hired, ready to pick up the passengers getting off.

Before Xing Mo could get close to ask the price, a man in a fur coat came up to her.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Jiedeti and Miss Ruby?" The man's voice was deep and had the characteristics of a northerner.

Ruby is the pseudonym Xingmo gave to Aurora, and her real identity is Dr. Jiedeti's assistant.

Aurora's evaluation is: It sounds much better than "Star Rain".

"It's us," Xing Mo nodded. "Excuse me, are you the contact person sent by Miss Pushit?"

"That's me," the man nodded. "Please follow me into the car. I'll take you to your residence. Everything has been arranged."

"Okay." Xingmo smiled elegantly.

The senior student really took great care of herself and arranged everything very well.

From accommodation, to transportation, to living expenses.

Like a mother doting on her child...

"..."

As if she had noticed the expression on Xingmo's face, Aurora puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, looking jealous.

But she didn't say anything, she just gently hit Xingmo's butt with her little fist when getting on the carriage.

"Ouch."

"......"

The carriage ran quickly on the streets of Winter County. The blizzard enveloped the entire town in white. Warm yellow lights flashed quickly outside the window, outlining the presence of people in the snow.

About half an hour later, Xingmo and Aurora got off the carriage in front of a single-family house.

As soon as she got off the car, Xing Mo couldn't help but sigh, "Senior sister is so rich..."

This is a two-story house with a large courtyard. There is a well in the corner of the yard. There is not much snow in the bucket hanging above, which shows that someone is maintaining it.

At this time, white smoke was rising from the chimney of the house, and it was obvious that someone was using the fireplace.

Xing Mo glanced at the coachman beside him inquiringly, and the latter said:

"Miss Pushet arranged for the housekeeping team to greet you in advance. The fireplace and lunch are already prepared."

Hearing these words, Xingmo was moved to tears.

Senior sister, I am crying my eyes out, you really treat me like a baby...

Seeing Xingmo's expression, Aurora puffed up her cheeks again and clenched her fists tightly.

But she didn't get angry, she just followed Xingmo towards the gate of the mansion.

At the door, two maids had been waiting for a long time. The head maid stepped forward and handed a bunch of keys to Xing Mo:

"Ms. Jie Daiti, from today on, we will serve you with food and daily life."

"No problem, but I will need to use the kitchen frequently," Xingmo nodded with a smile, "This will relieve a lot of pressure for you."

"Everything is as you wish." The head maid nodded.

Xingmo walked forward, inserted the key into the keyhole, and pushed open the door.

What comes into view is a living room of moderate size, neither too spacious nor too narrow.

The floor is made of painted mahogany, and the wallpaper on the wall is red with a light golden vine pattern, which looks noble and elegant.

Various pieces of furniture are placed in the center of the living room, including a red cashmere sofa, exquisitely carved mahogany tables and chairs, and the most important and soulful existence - the fireplace.

On the left side of the entrance is a staircase built against the wall, leading all the way to the small steps on the second floor. There are two doors there, corresponding to the two rooms on the second floor.

On the right was the passage leading to the kitchen and bathroom, and probably some kind of servants' quarters.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.

However, Xingmo didn't have the mind to delve into the structure of the house right now.

She was now frozen all over and needed to enjoy the firelight.

"Give us some time." Xingmo ordered the head maid behind her.

"Okay, if you need a meal, feel free to call me." The head maid gestured slightly and then withdrew.

After making sure that no one was watching, Xingmo walked to the sofa next to the fireplace and sat down comfortably.

She let her body sink into the soft sofa, feeling the heat from the fireplace coming in wave after wave, accompanied by the crackling sound of the firewood.

"It feels so comfortable..." Xing Mo closed her eyes and relaxed her whole body to the extreme.

The heat from the fireplace washed away the chill that the cold wave had brought to Xingmo's face. She felt like her whole body had gone limp, like a piece of ice melting in the desert.

This analogy doesn’t seem right, um... forget it!

Xing Mo smiled slightly and felt like she was immersed in a rest.

I have to say, this residence is worthy of being arranged by Senior Alice, from the servant team to the quality of the mansion, to this fireplace that is so warm that it makes you want to praise the sun.

Everything is so perfect.

Even though the distance between her and her senior sister now almost spanned an entire ocean, she could still feel her senior sister's warm gaze.

I will write a letter to my senior tonight and tell her that I am very satisfied with everything here.

I had thought that coming to Winter County would be somewhat difficult, but I didn’t expect the first day to be so pleasant and comfortable.

Xing Mo thought so, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly curl up.

At this moment, a soft thing crawled onto her body, followed by a warm breath.

Xingmo opened her eyes and saw Aurora with a stubborn expression on her face, her face very close to her.

"What's the matter?" Xingmo said lazily.

Aurora hesitated for a moment, a rare moment, then gritted her teeth with determination and said:

"Have a drink with me."

"Drink?" Xing Mo suddenly sobered up. "Why do you suddenly want to drink?"

She inexplicably recalled Aurora's appearance when she was drinking alone in Miriam's house. At that time, she looked like a pitiful kitten, probably drowned in the tide of emotions.

Why, are you emotional again now?

"Have a drink with me." Aurora shook Xingmo.

"Drinking is very bad for your health," Xing Mo said patiently, "You may be fine. I still have to work tomorrow."

"Just a little. I won't get you drunk." Aurora insisted.

Xing Mo sighed silently. There was nothing she could do. Once this little guy made up his mind to do something, there was no way to stop him.

So she called the head maid and gave her some instructions.

A few minutes later, the maid came back with a bottle of red wine and placed several bottles and jars next to it.

Aurora took a closer look and found that the jars were filled with spices such as cloves, cinnamon, star anise, and there was also a plate of pineapple. She gave Xingmo a puzzled look.

Xing Mo smiled slightly, then stood up and stretched, saying:

"Since we're going to drink, let's have some ceremony."

"I'll make you a glass of mulled wine. It's delicious."

3) Winter County Fairy Tale (Part 2)

Mulled wine is a winter drink made from red wine.

It’s also simple and affordable to make.

Xingmo opened the bottle of red wine and poured the purple gem-like wine into a small pot, about half full.

She added a star anise, five cloves, a small roll of cinnamon, a small piece of tangerine peel, and a small piece of ginger to the pot.

Then she sliced ​​an orange and an apple and threw them into the pot.

After doing all this, Xingmo stood up and controlled the small pot to float next to the fireplace.

She snapped her fingers, and a ball of fire emerged from just below the pot, beginning to heat the wine in it.

"If we do this, the alcohol will evaporate..." Aurora muttered softly.

"That's exactly what I meant," Xingmo said calmly. "Less alcohol is good for your health."

"Hmph... I don't drink it every day..." Aurora was in a depressed mood.

She tilted her head slightly, and although she didn't show anything on the surface, her heart became heavy because of Xing Mo's attentiveness.

Why is she always caring about us...

It has been like this since the beginning, he likes to protect me and cares about me whenever he is okay...

Even unreasonable requests like drinking alcohol will be reduced in the smartest way possible instead of being rejected outright.

"..." The warm yellow light from the fireplace shone on Aurora's face, making her look gloomy.

Xing Mo didn't notice this, she just stared at the pot and concentrated on cooking the wine.

When the edge of the wine in the pot began to boil, she controlled the fire string and began to heat it over low heat.

Five minutes later, Xingmo picked up two cups from the table, poured the wine in the pot into each cup, filtered out the spices, and then put sliced ​​oranges and apples into the quilt as decoration.

In this way, two cups of hot mulled wine are ready!

"Here." Xingmo handed the cup to Aurora and sat down by the fireplace.

She took a sip of the mulled wine: the aroma of wine was intertwined with spices, accompanied by the fragrance of fruit, sour and sweet, and the stimulation of alcohol was moderate.

The most important feeling was heat - the heated red wine seemed to bubble up when it touched the taste buds, completely dispelling the chill in Xingmo's bones.

"Huh...comfortable..." Xingmo sighed.

Aurora beside her also silently took a few sips of hot red wine, her little face flushed and she looked adorable.

"Why do you suddenly want to drink?" Xing Mo said.

Aurora didn't answer, but just sipped her wine silently without saying a word.
