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

On Carly's knees, Perlis was curled up slightly, with her eyes closed on her delicate face.

The store manager is sleeping.

Xingmo nodded, then sat down opposite Miss Carly without saying a word.

Carly smoothed Perlis's hair, then covered Perlis's ears with her hands, and then whispered to Xingmo:

"She's been too tired lately, let her have a good sleep."

"Well," Xingmo lowered her voice, "but do gods also need to sleep?"

Hearing this question, Carly gave a gentle and restrained smile, as if she was facing an ignorant child seeking school.

She pursed her lips and thought for a while before answering in a low voice:

"The divine nature is always unconscious and chaotic. As long as one is a god, it is impossible to escape the divine nature."

"But Perlis is different. She never considered herself a god, but instead anchored herself as a 'human'."

"So, she has emotions, needs to eat, and needs to sleep, just like any ordinary living being."

So that's how it is... Xingmo remembered the scene when he saw the "Red Moon". Such an ancient celestial body would make people collapse just by staring at it, let alone staring at it for a long time.

"Then, is it the same for Aurora?" Xingmo asked.

"Miss Aurora's situation is more special. Perhaps you will know it later." Carly smiled politely.

This means... things are not that simple...

Xingmo looked thoughtfully at Perlis lying on Miss Carly's legs. The white-haired girl looked completely off guard. All the elegance and indifference she wore were completely removed, leaving only a childlike calmness.

"What is the relationship between Miss Carly and Miss Perlis?" Xing Mo asked.

Carly didn't answer, but blinked slightly and smiled.

Hmm... I understand... Xingmo nodded and exclaimed that it was really great.

At this moment, a faint roar came from outside the window.

Xing Mo turned her head and saw a blurry red giant shadow passing directly above the sea of ​​flowers. It was so big that it almost crushed the sky.

But the sea of ​​flowers was not shocked by this at all, but just bloomed silently under the slightly crimson light.

"That thing... seems to be chasing me?" Xing Mo said unconsciously.

"That's something that's unconscious and only follows instinct," Carly said lightly beside her, "Perhaps you have something that He wants."

"On me?" Xing Mo was curious.

Are you referring to the fragments of the "Golden Full Moon"? But I don't even know what they are...

"Anyway, please stay here tonight," Carly said. "It will be safer to leave after the sun rises."

"Okay," Xingmo nodded, "Then I'll sleep on the sofa."

"No need." Carly covered her mouth and chuckled.

The girl waved her hand gently, and the sofa not far away turned into a bed covered by a curtain.

"Also, the formula for the soul-repairing elixir is on the table over there," Carly pointed again, "Girls who love to do good things never have bad luck~"

"Thank you, that's a great help." Xing Mo nodded.

Xingmo picked up the recipe, then crawled through the bed curtains and lay on the soft bed.

I'm still a little tired, I've been running around a lot today...

Xingmo placed the formula under her pillow, closed her eyes, and relaxed her body.

Have a good sleep... This bed is so comfortable...

Unfortunately, Aurora didn't come with her. It seemed she would have to sleep alone tonight.

Poor little guy, is he really afraid of his sister?

Even gods have things they fear...

God...unconscious...the divine nature of chaos...

While his consciousness was blurred, Xingmo saw golden chaos flashing before his eyes, forming complex and obscure symbols.

Through those symbols, she seemed to see a grand flow rushing from afar.

She sank and floated in it, drifting with the flow, unable to resist.

And in her arms was a potted plant - a potted plant that was nurturing young tree buds.

Somewhere, someone was whispering a nursery rhyme:

"Swallows flew into the cold winter and froze into slag."

"The fawn escaped into the woods and hung on a branch."

"Children were playing on the ruins, throwing up the bones of dead things."

"The One who paints everything watches, like a child watching a caterpillar on a green leaf."

“The puppets are pulled by the strings of fate and dance on the stage of fate.”

"That day, if you are thirsty."

"The melody you play will draw the stars in their orbits."

...END...

4) Black Forest Rhymes

"Boom!"

Thunder exploded in the sky, briefly tinging the morning, which should have been shrouded in dawn, with a hint of brightness.

The sky and the earth were gray, and the sun's rays were hazy above the sea, like the slightly dull eyes of a girl who had just woken up.

On the deck of the ironclad ship "Royal Executioner", Alice Pucht was holding a telescope, gazing at the distant archipelago.

They were a series of islands strung together, now obscured by the sea fog on the horizon, and looked unreal.

"We're here," Alice put down the telescope and turned to the side. "Aliya, confirm the location."

"No problem, this is the location Blackwood gave me." Alia murmured.

In her hand was a yellowed treasure map, on which was marked an archipelago in the sea.

The mark was a black skull that looked intimidating.

It was the hideout of a powerful pirate.

"Giant Squid Alemus, one of the most famous pirates on the seas, is also our target this time."

Alice said this, closing her eyes and plucking the four strings, her hand sketching the 'Dagger of Truth'.

She cut the air with her dagger and watched the sea churn around her as shadows of the past began to emerge.

She saw a black three-masted sailing ship sailing on the sea. Its bow was loaded with powerful cannons, and its sides were filled with artillery arrays like a honeycomb, making it look like a giant beast armed to the teeth.

That was Captain Alemus's "Black Ink Behemoth," one of the most notorious pirate ships on the Sea of ​​​​Between.

Before "steam airships" became the mainstream of transportation, transportation in countries along the sea basically relied entirely on sea transportation.

That period was also the time when pirates were most rampant, and their power was far greater than it is now.

The "Black Ink Behemoth" was one of the most feared giants on the sea at that time, and was the number one person under the King of Pirates.

Its captain, the "Giant Squid" Alemus, is a villain. Most of the ships he plunders become like bloody slaughterhouses.

No one could survive his depredations, let alone live to tell the shore what they had seen and heard.

However, based on the subsequent investigation of certain shipwrecks by the "Star Sea Church", it can be inferred that Captain Alemus may have believed in some evil god.

His act of looting ships was essentially a sacrifice to the evil god.

Alice stared silently at the shadowy ship and murmured:

"He is a man who does all kinds of evil."

"And we will send him to hell," Arya whispered to the group.

"Don't forget our main goal," Alice retracted the Dagger of Truth. "Getting his compass and obtaining the key to the Treasure Exchange is the most important thing."

The "Treasure Exchange" is an annual event for pirates, held by the "Pirate King" for pirates to exchange various rare treasures.

This is the purpose of Alice and her group's trip:

Hunt down Captain Alemus, steal his compass, and enter the "Treasure Exchange".

There, they will try to find out the truth about the storm in the sea.

"The Pirate King said he created the storm, but I don't know if that's true or not," Vivian trotted over from a distance. "What if he's just bragging?"

"Whether it's just bragging or not, we have to figure it out," Alice said. "If we can control the storm, it will be difficult for the Imperials to get the 'Golden Fleet' across the sea, and the war will be delayed accordingly."

"But I don't really like the guy following over there." Vivian pointed to the side.

Alice turned around and saw a black, multi-masted sailing ship following the Royal Executioner. The sun rune on the hull was faintly visible among the white sails.

"There's nothing we can do if the Scarab follows us." Alice waved her hand.

The Imperial Ambassador had been following the Royal Executioner since it left the port, apparently wanting to learn about the pirates' secrets.

After all, if the Citadel really found a way to control the storm, the Imperials would be unable to move forward on the sea.

"How about I secretly sink their boat?" Vivian whispered, "Just poke a big hole in the bottom of his boat..."

"Doing that will only exacerbate the conflict," Alice pinched Vivian's cheek, "Don't be stupid."

“Ouch, ouch…it hurts, it hurts…”

"..."

Alia ignored the two people's quarrel. She was the representative of the "Holy Tree Church" and naturally had to represent her dignified and majestic god.

She silently monitored the horizon through a telescope, checking the situation.

Suddenly, she saw a huge shadow slowly rising from the horizon - first the huge sail, then the behemoth-like hull.

The "Black Ink Behemoth" actually took the initiative to come out and fight!

An alarm suddenly sounded on the Royal Executioner. The scale-like iron plates on the hull opened and closed, and the light of the fire string flickered inside.

On the deck, Alice walked to the center of the string array and nodded to the priests beside her.

Together, they activated ritual magic, and a pale golden barrier suddenly appeared around the Royal Executioner, ready to defend against the firefight that was about to break out.

Vivian calmly walked to the bow of the ship, and ice-blue flames ignited on her body, turning into pure silver armor that wrapped her body.

Then, she tore open the space with her bare hands, drew out a huge silver sword, and leaned on it to penetrate.

"Drive closer and let me get on board," she said calmly.

"..."

As the two giant ships gradually approached each other, the sea was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

A drizzle fell from the sky, a strong wind arose, and the surging waves rolled out watercolor-like strokes.

Just as the atmosphere on the ship was tense, a leisurely voice came from behind everyone:

"Hey, Captain Alemus actually came out to greet the guests?"

Alice turned around and saw that it was Principal Merlin in his nightgown.

He looked like he was still half asleep, with a face towel hanging on his shoulder.

"Principal!" Alice's mouth twitched. "A war is about to begin!"

"Start a war? Oh, okay."

Merlin finished speaking, took out his wand from his wide sleeves, and pointed it casually:

"Boom——"

A golden lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck Merlin's body, engulfing him in splashing flames.

Almost at the same time, another golden thunder struck the deck of the Black Ink Behemoth, directly breaking its largest mast.

When the flames dissipated, Alice found that Merlin had disappeared without a trace.
