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

After saying that, she took Vivian's hand and stood up, and walked out of the church together.

Xiaomo will definitely be able to take care of herself in Winter County...Alice thought so.

......

The next day, when Xingmo woke up, she found herself feeling warm in her arms.

She looked down and found Aurora curled up in her arms, tiny.

"..."

In fact, Xingmo deliberately slept in a separate bed from Aurora yesterday, so this was a completely unexpected development for her.

It's not because I hate Aurora or anything, but...

...She seemed a little embarrassed.

Before she became a girl, Xingmo always thought it was okay for girls to sleep in each other's arms.

It was different now, as she came to accept her identity and understood herself better, she realized that this was not right.

wrong.

She still likes girls very much, so there must be something wrong with sleeping with a girl in her arms!

If she has any improper thoughts...it would be unfair to Aurora...

"..."

Although Xing Mo thought so in her heart, she felt inexplicably at ease when she felt the warmth of the little one in her arms.

So...sneaking a little extra sleep...wouldn't count as cheating, right?

It's cold outside anyway...

Thinking of this, Xingmo secretly hugged Aurora tighter and closed his eyes.

They were like two kittens snuggling together, curled up in the quilt, away from the snow falling outside the window.

......

3) Winter County Fairy Tale (Part 3) -4k6- (2-in-1)

Since she had just arrived, Xingmo was too lazy to prepare breakfast, so she asked the maids to prepare it.

Breakfast in the north is relatively simple. The staple food is a kind of pasta called bolling cake, accompanied by a small plate of sliced ​​sausages and a cup of hot black tea.

After the food was served, Xingmo asked all the maids to leave, then she and Aurora sat down at the table and began to enjoy breakfast.

"What's today's itinerary?"

Aurora rubbed her eyes while smearing a large amount of strawberry jam on the golden puff pastry.

"Let's go to the newspaper and publish the details of the clinic. I've asked Miss Anna to help us clean up the room and purchase equipment. We can start seeing patients tonight at the latest." Xing Mo swallowed the sausage.

Miss Anna is the head maid of Xingmo Mansion, a gentle middle-aged woman.

"You're in such a hurry to become a doctor?" Aurora yawned. "Hmm... can you do it?"

"Of course it can be done. If it's just an ordinary illness, you can easily cure it with your authority, right?"

Xing Mo didn't take it seriously. She took a sip of the steaming hot black tea, feeling the heat moisturizing her slightly cold body in the early morning.

"What I mean is, is being a doctor really useful?" Aurora took a bite of the puff pastry, and her mouth was covered with strawberry jam.

"According to my speculation, the Imperial forces have secretly controlled this area," Xingmo said, "Being a private doctor is a profession that is convenient for obtaining intelligence, and it is also easy to infiltrate upper-class social circles."

After all, few skilled doctors would choose to stay in Winter County for a long time.

"Hmph, you can do it yourself... I'm just a follower anyway..." Aurora muttered.

For some reason, she seemed a little angry.

Xing Mo smiled slightly and said immediately:

"We should eat out for lunch today, and you can cook for dinner, how about that?"

"Oh~" Aurora's tone warmed up a little, "You won't blame me if I don't do well, right?"

"How could that be? Do you dare to say that the evil god can't cook?" Xing Mo joked.

"Be careful or you'll be cooked!" Aurora snorted again.

Have you cooked me enough times? Xing Mo laughed dumbly, lowered his head and picked up a piece of sausage and said:

"In short, we must proceed with caution, keep a low profile, and quickly find out the location of the 'Winter Messenger's Remains'."

After that, the two of them focused on breakfast.

After breakfast, the two put on thick windbreakers and scarves and went out.

"call--"

When she opened the door, she was greeted by a cold wind as sharp as a knife, which seemed to be able to cut directly through Xingmo's coat.

At this moment, Aurora suddenly stood on tiptoe and adjusted Xingmo's scarf with her hands:

"Just to take care of you, just to take care of you." She said as she walked around.

Afraid that I didn't know... Xingmo helplessly let Aurora fiddle with it with her hands until half of her mouth was covered by the scarf.

This little guy seems to be obsessed with giving me "care" like Alice-senpai, hmm...

It's like a kitten learning to walk, so cute.

Xing Mo blushed slightly and quickly cleared her throat:

"Then... let's go!"

Xingmo took Aurora's hand, and they both boarded the carriage.

"Go to the Honey Pie Newspaper Office." Xingmo ordered the coachman.

The carriage rumbled along the street, through the hazy snowstorm.

Along the way, Xingmo could hardly see much of the scenery outside. There was no difference between the morning and evening in Winter County. Everything was hazy and not so real behind the curtain of blizzard.

Ten minutes later, the carriage stopped, Xingmo and Aurora got off and walked into the "Honey Pie" newspaper office.

To be honest, Xingmo didn't know why a newspaper would name itself "Honey Pie".

Perhaps it’s because food was often scarce during the pioneering period in the north?

The legendary pie in the sky?

"..."

The interior of the newspaper office was warm, with several floating lamps hanging in the air for heating, maintained by a wizard nearby.

Xing Mo came to the front desk, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and said to the pale girl behind the wooden table:

"I want to put up an ad to promote my clinic, and the details are all above."

Hearing the word "clinic", the pale girl raised her head and was stunned for a moment.

"Is there any problem?" Xing Mo noticed that something was wrong with her.

"No problem," the girl took Xingmo's note, "Please pay the fee."

"..."

Xing Mo paid the money, confirmed that the advertisement would be published tomorrow, and then walked out of the newspaper office with Aurora.

A cold wind blew in our faces, and the wind and snow showed no sign of letting up.

"Where are we going next?" Aurora pulled her knitted hat upwards.

"Let's go to the church," Xingmo rubbed his hands, "and find out about that crazy wizard."

The wizard who kidnapped a family of three in the port area of ​​the Academy City and wanted to obtain the "Angel's Tears" wondered what kind of status he would have in the church of Winter County.

It would be fun if it was a bishop like Fry Sunlet.

I don’t want to fight a “steam man” anymore...that guy is a bit too difficult to deal with...Xing Mo thought so in his heart.

"..."

The church in Winter County was not far from the newspaper office. In order to familiarize herself with the neighborhood, Xingmo did not call a carriage, but took Aurora for a walk on the street.

The snow was a little lighter at this time, no longer covering the sky like dust. Warm lights poured out from the windows on both sides of the street, as gentle as the morning sun.

The small windows were filled with all sorts of little gadgets; some shops had dolls, clothes, and the like, while others were pure jewelry.

Aurora looked around with great interest, her face full of the urge to shop.

In front of a shop window, she suddenly stopped and stood still.

"What's wrong?" Xing Mo followed, "Want to buy something?"

However, when Xing Mo took a closer look at the things in the window, she couldn't help but feel ashamed -

——There were a lot of muskets placed there.

From old-fashioned single-shot muskets to steam-powered muskets, there's everything.

Under the warm yellow light of the window, the rifles look so warm...

....well, not warm at all.

Very scary.

"We want that." Aurora pointed to one of the latest steam-powered muskets.

Xing Mo glanced at the price tag and the corner of her mouth twitched:

"That's enough food for a month."

"But we really need it." Aurora's eyes lit up.

"Can't you just not buy it?" Xing Mo tried to obstruct again, "Why do you want a gun?"

"Isn't it in the process of recovery? It's not convenient to use the power of authority." Aurora blinked. "Get some new toys."

New toys, the kind that can shoot through people with one shot?

Xing Mo took another look at the price marked behind the window and confirmed again:

"Do you really want to buy it?"

"Buy!" Aurora puffed out her cheeks.

Then buy it, to save the kitten from making trouble...

Xingmo decided to spend money to avoid disaster, so she went into the store with Aurora. After paying, she asked the store staff to send the gun directly back to the mansion.

It's a good thing, if this little girl has some other means of attack, she won't be easily mistaken for some strange mythical creature.

"..."

After walking a distance on the street, the church spire appeared in the distance, slightly hazy in the wind and snow.

Five minutes later, Xingmo and Aurora stood at the door of Winter County Church.

To be precise, this place should be called "St. Nero's Church", but as a place in the far north far away from the civilized world, not everyone believes in the holy angels under the goddess, and there are many minority beliefs.

In order to stabilize their income, church officials also set up many tablets of other gods inside.

It feels like visiting a market.

Xingmo brought Aurora into the church. The space inside was about the same size as the Cathedral of St. Auros, but it seemed a bit crowded because it was surrounded by tablets and statues.

Xing Mo was not in a hurry to look for the throne of "Saint Nero the Messenger of Winter". After all, there was a high probability that what was waiting for her was just a bomb filled with "curse".

She wanted to take a walk first and see what magical things these residents of the Far North were praying to.

"..."

So Xingmo took Aurora and walked along the row of shrines on one side of the church.

On the first tablet was a small stone sculpture, on top of which was a low cylindrical container with strip-like tentacles entwined inside the container, some of which extended outwards.

What a weird statue...Xingmo couldn't help but start to daydream.

The container...symbolizes a seal, and the tentacles extending outward...symbolize a state of trying to break through.

"Is this some evil god...breaking the seal?" Xing Mo made a preliminary guess in awe.
