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

"Ms. Jiedeti, please be careful."

"Okay, don't worry."

On the steam-filled train platform, Xingmo waved to Alena and Ina not far away, then turned and walked towards the steam train.

In reality, she was forced to turn around—Aurora was pulling her, and boundless power erupted from her tiny body.

"Go! Go! Go!" Aurora issued a divine decree.

Xing Mo gave a helpless smile to the two ladies who came to see her off, and then she was dragged onto the train and into the compartment.

"Little vinegar bun."

Xingmo put the suitcase in the corner and looked at Aurora opposite her who looked angry.

"It's a familiar carriage again. Do you like it?"

"It's just so-so," Aurora muttered, then her eyes moved slightly. "I heard there's an event at the nearby stop?"

"Well, it's a tradition, Mr. Luffy told me..."

Xingmo nodded:

"It's said that there's a New Year's Eve celebration in the small town of Amt, on the border between Winter County and the Empire."

"Hey~ I'm really looking forward to it~"

As Aurora muttered, the steam train slowly began to move.

This is the cross-border train from Winter County to New Garo. Generally speaking, it does not run very often. Most of the time, if you want to go to the oasis city, you need to rely on means such as carriages and travel long distances.

But this time I was lucky and caught a train.

It always feels... a bit deliberate?

Xing Mo became more alert. From now on, she would go to the center of the war storm and to the territory of the Empire.

The "Golden King" who started the war is in Singara. Under the watchful eye of the king who controls the "Song of the Sands," we must be doubly cautious.

Not to mention that the "Garden of Redemption" behind her already knew that she had been to Winter County.

According to Xing Mo's current inference, the angel named Cain should not have very strong control over the real world, otherwise there would be no need to support an agent like the "Golden King".

Whatever the reason was, it didn't matter.

What's important is that, according to the report, the "Court of Redemption" and the Empire are one and the same.

Considering that Cain was unaware of the identity of "Dr. Jiedeti", and he had never met the "Ancient Dragon Hunter" before, and County Governor Jamila, a high-ranking official in the Empire, had never exposed the "Dr. Jiedeti" cover...

...Xingmo's identity is still hidden.

But she had to be extra careful to suppress her own strength—the high-string magic in the fire resonance field still couldn't be used, that would be too obvious.

After all, according to Aurora, no one in the world except the Golden King and herself could wield the Fire Spirit Authority.

Hiding my identity...looking for the shrine...and seeing if there's any way to uncover the Empire's specific conspiracy...

While thinking, Xingmo suddenly heard a few knocks on the lathe.

She turned around and saw a parrot desperately following the train, knocking on the window with its beak from time to time.

There was a letter tied to its leg, which looked slightly burnt.

Isn’t this Principal Merlin’s parrot...Xingmo suddenly felt a little funny.

This guy is really desperate, actually chasing the steam train...

But there is a fatal problem...

The train windows can't be opened!!!

Xingmo waved her hand at the parrot, meaning "this window can't be opened."

The mysterious bird's pupils trembled visibly, and then it knocked on the car window with its beak desperately.

It seems to mean: Help!

"If you have time to ask for help, you might as well give me the letter at the station..." Xing Mo smiled helplessly.

She took out the whistle that Miss Pollis had given her and blew it gently:

"Buzzing—"

The illusory golden light rippled across the space, and a little golden sparrow flew out and landed on Xingmo's fingertips.

It first rubbed Xingmo's fingers, then rushed to the car window and went out directly in spirit mode.

Then, it snatched the letter from the parrot's claws, carried the letter with it, turned into golden starlight, and flew back.

"Well done!" Xing Mo stretched out a finger and rubbed the golden bird's head, "You are still the best."

The little sparrow cheered and jumped for joy (it was really jumping) and started partying on the table. Xingmo poured some water from the kettle onto the table to let the little sparrow rest.

And the parrot outside the window... cast a resentful look at me.

"I will definitely compensate you next time." Xing Mo smiled helplessly at the parrot.

The parrot chirped a lot of bird calls, no one knew what it was saying, and then it turned in the air.

The next second, golden light exploded, and with a "bang", the parrot disappeared in the explosion.

Ah...it can actually teleport...Xing Mo suddenly felt that this parrot was very powerful.

It didn't want to teleport into the carriage because it was afraid that the explosion would hurt me... It turns out that it is also a gentle bird.

Xingmo decided that in her reply letter to the principal, she must say a few good words for this respectable parrot.

Then she opened the letter from Principal Merlin and read it quickly.

When she reached the end, she took a deep breath.

"What's wrong?" Aurora was playing with the little sparrow. When she heard Xingmo panting, she looked up and asked, "Has the war started?"

"No, just stretching."

Xing Mo stretched and put the letter on the table:

"Two things. First, the Golden Sun's shrine is very suitable for advancement to demigod status."

"Not surprising," Aurora muttered. "No wonder your principal is the only demigod in the world. It takes a divine institution to satisfy your ridiculous conditions."

"If you just want to replenish spiritual energy, you don't actually need a divine center," Xing Mo explained. "Repeatedly converting spiritual materials into spiritual energy, and then using a large amount of spiritual energy to 'sanctify' a space, might be able to achieve a similar effect."

"Isn't there a place like this in the Citadel?" Aurora asked curiously. "After all these years?"

"There used to be one, an altar, but it was destroyed."

"Destroyed?"

"Yes, a 'saint' exploded when he ascended to demigod status, destroying the entire area within a hundred miles of the altar. It was completely charred and has now become a suburban tourist attraction."

"How scary..." Aurora shook her shoulders.

"Because of that incident, the path to becoming a demigod has been blocked. From the methods to the practice, everything is strictly controlled by the White Tower Council. I don't think even Principal Merlin would be able to get the formula from those old immortals."

"However, regardless of whether it was sealed or not, after that, no one dared to try to ascend to the 'Demigod' level. After all, the power of a 'Saint' is already strong enough."

Xing Mo said, lowering his head slightly, his eyes dimmed for a moment:

"But it doesn't seem enough for me... Even if being a demigod means madness and danger... I have to embrace the madness..."

6) Storm Performer (Part 3) -4k- (2-in-1)

"Don't worry."

Seeing Xingmo's dazed look, Aurora reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Did you forget one more thing? We need the blessing of God."

"Aren't we gods? Giving you a blessing isn't a big deal."

"You're a pretty good god." Xing Mo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and reached out to rub Aurora's head.

Then she picked up the letter and continued:

"One more thing is that we will get off the train at the halfway station to support Senior Vivian."

"Support the ice dragon?" Aurora suddenly became excited. "Want to fight?"

"Yes, the pirates' 'treasure exchange' is about to begin," Xing Mo nodded. "If we can master what the Pirate King calls 'the power to control the storm,' then it will become extremely difficult for the Imperials to cross the sea, and the probability of war will be much smaller."

"I feel like there's going to be a war no matter what," Aurora puffed out her lips. "Releasing that Prince Oquede is just a cover. The Golden King actually has plans for the White Tower."

"I think so too," Xingmo nodded, "but at the very least, the power of the storm cannot be used by the Imperials."

From the information Xingmo knew, every time the "Royal Glory" of the Academy left the port, the "Black Jackal" would secretly follow behind.

Of course, the Citadel could not fire at the Imperial ambassador's ship.

Therefore, the city authorities judged that the people of the Empire should also have a high level of interest in the "Treasure Exchange Meeting".

And all the attention is focused on the pirate king——

——『Typhoon』Dreim Kans.

In the era when the academic city had not yet been unified, the Kingdom of Messina and the Machiavelli Empire often had maritime conflicts. They had many frictions, some big and some small, as they competed for the trade route to the Yanxia Islands.

It was during this era that Delem Kans gained his place.

Initially, he was a privateer captain of the Kingdom of Messina, traveling along the trade routes and roaming around, stealing merchants' goods.

As his power gradually expanded, the "Typhoon Fleet" was formed.

At that time, he was already the king of the sea. The Imperial Navy rarely suffered defeat, but they fell at his hands countless times.

After the Citadel became independent in 3036, the dispute over the maritime trade route ended. The defeated Kingdom of Messina had asked Deleme Kans to stop the looting, but he refused.

He had already established his own pirate empire on the archipelago and dominated the area, so there was naturally no need for him to return to the protection of the country.

As a result, the "Typhoon Fleet" became a bully on the sea, and had many frictions and conflicts with the maritime forces of various countries on the sea.

Although he was later suppressed by the United Navy into an inconspicuous corner, his reputation remained unchanged.

A large part of the reason for its decline is that since the "Steam Revolution", a large part of the cargo transportation vehicles on both sides of the strait have been replaced by steam airships instead of ships.

Even with the help of string magic, the pirates' outdated artillery could hardly break the steam airship's shield.

As a result, the once glorious pirate king can only make a living by collecting protection fees from the islanders, and only in rare cases can he occasionally rob passing merchant ships.

It is such a force that had originally withdrawn from the stage of history, but now it has resurfaced because Delem Kans claimed that he had the power to control the storm.

Originally, no one cared about the divine power he claimed. After all, a declining pirate fleet was simply incomparable to a prosperous land civilization.

But it just so happened that the academic city really experienced a very abnormal rainy season.

According to the migration route of the storm narwhals, they should not have stayed in the Citadel for so long.

"I suspect... the way Drem Kans controls storms might be a way to manipulate narwhals."

Xingmo thought about it and put away the letter from Principal Meilin.

"To stir up such a huge storm, it is hard for me to imagine unless it is magic of the 'Saint' or even 'Demigod' level."

"I don't know," Aurora said absentmindedly, "Our little animals can't do that anyway."

Small animals? Oh yes, Aurora had a pet narwhal named "Bai Ling", the one she rescued from Sir Derek Larson's whale oil factory.

Thinking of this, Xing Mo asked:

"Is that little animal connected to you?"

"There's no connection. It's playing in the sea with its tribe every day." Aurora said.

"Can we ask it about the 'storm'?" Xingmo suddenly had an idea. "If it follows the narwhal group, then it should know the cause of the storm, right?"

"That makes sense..."

Aurora nodded, closed her eyes, and sketched the symbol of the "Tree of Life" in the air.

After a while, she opened her eyes and said:

"Hmm...it seems...there really is something."

"What is that?" Xing Mo opened her eyes wide.

"It's hungry." Aurora said seriously.
