The caged bird's home is the sky.

"But I can't fly..." Aliena shook her head.

"Do you have any dreams?" Xing Mo guided.

"I..."

Aliena lowered her head, her lips tightening even more:

"I want to be the kind of person who helps others... just like you, Miss Jadeti."

"Then you have many paths to choose from," Xingmo smiled, "For example, become a doctor like me."

"Medical skills are too difficult. I don't know if I can learn it..." Alena shook her head.

It's okay... Actually, I don't know any medical skills... Xing Mo complained inwardly, then said:

"How will you know if you don't try? Perhaps I can teach you when I have time."

Hearing this, something seemed to be pried open in Aliena's eyes, and a clear light seeped out from her pupils like a spring, making her sapphire eyes become bright and lively.

"Would you like to teach me?"

"Ah... I'll have to wait until I'm free..." Xing Mo suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"It's okay! I can wait!" Aliena became excited.

Seeing that she had changed from being depressed to cheering, Xing Mo did not destroy her fantasy again.

"Okay, it's a deal then. I can teach you some basic... medical skills later."

In fact, the most I can do is teach you how to pray to Aurora... Xingmo thought so.

"Well, I'll be leaving first. I have things to do this afternoon."

As Xing Mo said this, she really stood up and waved to Alena.

Alena also waved her hand and watched Xingmo turn and leave. The expression on her face gradually became lonely.

The moment Xingmo put her hand on the door handle, the expression on Alena's face changed, as if she had made up her mind at that moment:

"Ms. Jiedeti, please wait a moment."

Xingmo turned her head and looked at Alena:

"Ok?"

"I just said... I... I want to be someone who can help others..."

Alena stood up and walked straight towards Xingmo:

"I...I want to help you!"

......

On the pretext of "further inspection", Xingmo took Alena back to her house and into the bedroom.

At this time, Alena, wearing a black corset with a white shirt and a long skirt, was sitting on a stool that Xingmo had temporarily brought in, looking a little nervous.

"Are you sure no one here can hear you?" she asked.

"Aurora." Xingmo said in a low voice.

An invisible barrier was formed around them, and in an instant, the air in the room seemed to become a little turbid.

"No one can eavesdrop on our next conversation," Xingmo assured Alena.

"Okay...okay...um..."

Aliena clenched her fists, her expression determined:

"I...I heard my father and that woman named Jamila...talk about some really weird things..."

"What's the matter?" Xing Mo suddenly became serious.

"The mayor said... the Imperials will make a big move against the Citadel, and it will be very chaotic... She meant that when that happens, they'll use violence to take away all the money in the Winter County Bank and then flee to Yanxia..."

After Alena finished speaking, Xingmo immediately grasped two key points.

First, the Imperials made a "big move" against the Citadel.

Judging from this description, it may not be referring to the war between the Citadel and the Empire, otherwise it should be described directly as "war".

Secondly, County Magistrate Jamila did have ulterior motives - she wanted to take all the local money and run away while the empire was distracted!

"These things sound scary." Xing Mo nodded.

"That's not all." Alena's lips trembled slightly. "She said...she wanted to take the seeds of nightmare to Yan Xia and spread them..."

"After that, she will use your potion to heal those people and become the local savior..."

"So, she wants Dad to send someone to solve the problem..."

"Get rid of me?" Xing Mo understood.

As expected, after the Immortal's incident, the County Governor seems to have chosen to use other means to target me...

Looking at Alena's slightly drooping face, Xingmo let out a breath:

"Oh, thank you for telling me this."

"Run, Miss Jiedeti..." Alena said weakly.

"Who will treat patients if I run away?" Xing Mo smiled helplessly. "If I were to run away like those doctors who left Winter County, Winter County might be completely destroyed."

"But you can't beat her..." Aliena said quickly, "She has connections in New Galo. I heard..."

"It's okay, I have evidence." Xingmo interrupted Alena.

Then she took out a photo and handed it over.

Aliena picked up the photo and was shocked to find that it was a picture of the county governor talking with a man in a red robe in the dense forest!

"This...this is..."

"It seems that you also know something about the bad guys in red robes?" Xing Mo noticed Alena's expression.

"They are the sheriff's 'business partners'...that's all I know..." Aliena muttered.

"No, they are an evil cult. They spread the nightmare disease. Their purpose is to destroy Wintershire and sacrifice everyone to some evil forbidden existence."

Xing Mo took a breath and recalled the conversation in the dense forest:

"Perhaps, the moment County Magistrate Jamila runs away with the money, she will hand over the entire Winter County to the Order."

"By then, few people will be able to survive, right?"

Hearing Xing Mo say this, Alena's face turned a little pale and her lips trembled slightly.

"I'm going to find a way to report her," Xingmo said, "I have to make her lose power before that."

"That's impossible. If she wanted to, she could easily control the information channels in Winter County." Alena shook her head.

This is true. It was thanks to Ina that we were able to publish the photos of the "Immortal" through the Honey Pie Newspaper.

Moreover, after that, Ina wrote to Xingmo, saying that the County Administration Office had sent people to the newspaper office to review the daily content.

Perhaps Winter County has been succumbing to the tyranny of the county governor for so long that she is only now beginning to take measures to control the mouthpiece.

But once it starts, it will probably be a high-pressure situation.

"If you want to bring down the Sheriff, you must turn the powerful people of Wintershire against her."

Xing Mo said, looking at Alena seriously:

"Aliana, do you think it's possible that your father would oppose her?"

"I...I don't think it's possible..." Aliena's body trembled slightly. "Father even agreed...to prepare a ship for her when she escaped..."

"After all, it's a maritime trade. Having a ship to ferry her across the sea won't arouse suspicion at all," Xing Mo muttered. "However, the same may not be true for other wealthy businessmen."

Most of the local dignitaries in Winter County have deposits in banks, and if the bank's money is taken away, it means that their money is taken away.

In other words, just let the local dignitaries know about these things.

"We just need a channel that can let the powerful know about this, and we can stop Jamila."

Xing Mo summarized and then asked Alena:

"Are there any public activities of the powerful recently?"

"Yes..." Aliena pursed her lips, "It's almost the end of the year. Before that, there will be a Winter Ball. All the dignitaries of Wintershire will attend."

"When?" Xingmo asked.

"A week later..."

"okay, I get it."

Xingmo stood up and bowed slightly to Alena:

"That's a very brave decision, Miss Aliena."

"Don't thank me. I...I'm actually scared," Aliena whispered. "I'm afraid that if Dad helps a demon like that...I'll fall into the abyss with him."

"Try to persuade your father not to cooperate with Jamila if you can find a chance," Xingmo said. "No matter what, your bravery today may save many people."

Hearing Xing Mo's praise, Alena's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Strange, the room is too hot?

As Xing Mo was thinking this, he suddenly felt spiritual power surging behind him, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

She rose quickly and said to Aliena:

"Well... in that case, you should go home quickly, otherwise... it might arouse suspicion..."

"Okay," Aliena nodded. "By the way...if I want to contact you, I..."

"use this."

Xingmo said as he took out a small whistle from his pocket.

The whistle looked similar to the one Miss Perlis had given, but it looked rougher and had no patterns on the surface.

This was made by Xingmo based on the whistle given by Miss Perlis. It is used to summon the golden bird, but it can only deliver letters to Xingmo unilaterally.

"This whistle can summon my messenger. As far as I know, you are not a wizard, so you need such a medium."

As she spoke, Xingmo handed the whistle to Alena.

Aliena took the whistle, stared at it for a moment, then clasped her hands tightly.

"I understand. I...I will cherish it..."

......

Alena left Xingmo's mansion. Before leaving, Xingmo gave her some mental adjustment potion to prevent the housekeeper waiting outside the door from noticing anything unusual.

Then, Xingmo returned to the room and closed the door.

"Clang."

The moment the door was closed, Xing Mo was pushed by something and fell directly onto the bed:

"Humph! You bad guy!"

She looked up and saw Aurora standing by the window, looking angry and sad.

"What's the matter again?" Xing Mo felt a little puzzled.

"You're actually out there looking for women!" Aurora yelled, "So many times! I actually thought you were going there to treat her!"

"You're going to see her doctor?" Xing Mo was stunned. "What else?"

"Look at your interaction! Her ears are red!" Aurora shouted.

"So what if my ears are red?" Xing Mo felt strange.

Hearing this, Aurora almost fainted. She walked to the bed angrily and pushed Xingmo onto the bed.

"Lie down!"

Then, she put her knees between Xingmo's legs, grabbed Xingmo's wrists with both hands, and pressed her down on the bed.

"Gu..." Xing Mo raised his neck, "You...what are you doing..."

"Look at your own ears and see if they're red." Aurora said coldly.
