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

Just find a way to get rid of the "Ocean Archon".

Approaching, the Imperial Army could not cross the land of Falu to attack the Citadel directly, and the Citadel currently had the "Storm Beacon" and could use storms to block the Imperial Navy to a certain extent.

On this basis, as long as the "Ocean Archon" can be eliminated, this war may end directly.

"..."

Half an hour later, Xingmo and Aurora got off the car on the street and walked into the building at No. 36 in the West District of Outer Ring City.

When you open the door curtain, you are greeted by the aroma of incense, accompanied by misty smoke.

Xingmo’s first reaction was... Is this the place where the charlatan casts spells?

But when she looked up, she discovered the source of the incense - it was several incense burners hanging from the ceiling. A faint white scent poured out like clouds of smoke, falling from the ceiling to the ground.

"Please don't worry about it, it's a decontamination measure."

A voice came from the front desk. Xingmo looked up and found that the person speaking was a graceful exotic girl with a veil made of thin chains covering her face.

"Is this your first time in New Galo? Are you both uncomfortable with the scent of incense?"

"Hello," Xingmo walked to the front desk and smiled, "Um...purification means...?"

"Of course, it's the whispers from the spirit world," the girl chuckled. "Those unfriendly whispers are rising from the spirit world to our world. This is a sign of war..."

"A sign of war?" Xing Mo remained calm.

"Yes, that is the curse that the goddess and her followers have placed on this land."

The girl's vague smile behind her veil became increasingly blurred, and her two pairs of curved eyebrows outlined:

"The spirituality of this land is being drained away by the White Tower."

Hearing this, countless questions arose in Xingmo's mind.

Is the goddess extracting the spirituality from the land of Singara? Using the White Pagoda as a medium?

This sounds really ridiculous.

After all, if the goddess really had the ability to do these things, she would have appeared on the day the "Steam Man" was captured.

That day, Aurora led the Steam Man to the square in front of the Cathedral of Saint Auros, and the god hidden in the mist gazed at the goddess's land from the Steam Man's body without hesitation.

Not to mention the October Rain, the Tree of Life blossomed in the Citadel, and the "Invisible Mist" looked down upon the earth directly from the sky.

However, the goddess still did nothing.

Therefore, Xingmo has always speculated that the goddess might be in some kind of predicament, perhaps related to the "Red Moon".

After all, Miss Perlis said that the goddess and the red moon are not equal.

Since it wasn't done by the goddess... then the Hanging Garden must be trying to cover up something by telling the public about this.

Besides reinforcing the country's sense of legitimacy regarding the war, there must be other reasons why spiritual energy was being drained.

Xingmo said this and gently squeezed Aurora's little hand, and the latter quickly understood what she meant.

A few seconds later, Aurora's voice rang in Xingmo's mind:

"There are indeed traces of the spiritual energy flowing in the spiritual world."

“Where does it flow?”

"The Erlu Desert, um... it's quite far away."

Is there something controlling the flow of spiritual energy in the Erlu Desert outside of Garo City? Xing Mo took this to heart and smiled at the girl at the front desk.

"I'm not a believer in the goddess, but I have to say this kind of evil is truly shocking."

"This land has endured too much unnecessary suffering. Perhaps war is the best solution," the girl said with a smile. "So, my two traveling ladies, do you need a place to rent?"

"Yeah, that's right, let me think..."

Xingmo lowered his head, thought briefly, and then began to list:

"I need a mid-range house, preferably between the outer ring road and the ring road, with relatively convenient transportation and a little further away from the downtown area."

After briefly listing them, Xingmo turned to look at Aurora beside him:

"What about you?"

"A house?" Aurora raised her head, her eyes rolling around.

After a moment she raised a finger and shouted:

"I want one that can see the sea!"

......

“I can really see the sea…”

Pushing open the courtyard door, Xingmo and Aurora entered the leafy courtyard, feeling the scorching wind fade into coolness between the green leaves.

The property is located on a slope between the outer ring and the ring road. There is a certain slope between the entrance of the house and the residential building, and you need to climb up the stairs.

This is an exquisite single-family house with two bedrooms, a living room, a study, and a terrace on the second floor.

Looking south from the door of the house, what comes into view are the independent houses extending all the way down the slope and the bustling port on the coastline in the distance.

Further away is the sea sparkling under the scorching sun.

Across the sea is the academic city.

It was not until this moment that Xing Mo suddenly realized that there was a sea between him and the academy.

"It's so comfortable to see this view every morning when I go out~" Aurora stretched out towards the sea, "It makes me feel much better!"

"It's just a little expensive," Xing Mo said with some pain, "I rented it for two months and spent half of my savings."

In fact, Xingmo originally planned to choose a slightly inferior house, so as to save more money and facilitate future financial operations.

After all, the funds that Senior Sister Alice can provide are becoming increasingly limited, and it must be the family that is putting pressure on her.

But in the end, Xingmo chose a place with relatively higher prices and farther away from the downtown area.

It's nothing, it's just that if something happens, at least it won't affect the civilians in the city.

Regardless of whether the Empire wants to declare war on the Academy, Xingmo does not want to harm innocent people.

Even though everyone is part of the grand trend that is fueling the flames, she firmly believes that it is a good thing if fewer people are hurt.

"Go inside and explore first," Xingmo said, "I'll put some protective measures on the door."

"Okay~" Aurora took the key, opened the door, and rushed to her ideal big bed impatiently.

Looking at the little guy who looked like he was on vacation, Xing Mo sighed and took out a small bottle of spiritual dust.

She skillfully opened the bottle cap and walked towards the courtyard gate. As she walked, she sprinkled the powder in the bottle into the air, making a crackling sound.

After walking back and forth, Xingmo stopped at the door of the house and lightly played a few starlight strings in the air.

Suddenly, the spiritual smoke that had dissipated in the air appeared again, but this time it was stained golden.

If someone walks into this golden smoke, Xingmo will be sensed immediately and can choose how to respond.

In the most extreme cases, the intruder can be suffocated to death at the courtyard gate.

"I hope no one seeks death..."

Xingmo muttered, turned around and walked in.

She walked through the exotically decorated living room and found Aurora in the larger bedroom. The little girl had taken off her shoes and was jumping on the bed like a swirling white phantom.

"Stop making trouble," Xingmo waved her wand, letting the wind blow across the floor of the room, sweeping away any dust that might be present. "Let's do some thorough cleaning."

"You do that kind of thing! Let's have some fun first!" Aurora yelled as she bounced on the bed.

Xing Mo shook her head, thinking that she really couldn't expect this little girl to help with daily life. Cooking was already her limit.

So, she walked around the entire house alone, using her "Tree Vision" to carefully scan every corner of the room and confirm that there was no curse or spirit world spying.

Then, she cast astral protection magic on the windows of the house, so that she would immediately sense anyone trying to break in.

After doing all this, Xingmo returned to the living room and found Aurora looking for something everywhere.

"What are you looking for?" Xingmo asked the white kitten.

"We're looking for the fireplace," Aurora raised her head blankly. "Where's the fireplace?"

Xing Mo: “…”

My dear... look at this big sun. Does this country look like it is going to use a fireplace?

As if understanding Xingmo's helpless look, Aurora smiled awkwardly and scratched her head:

"I think a fireplace is very warm. A fireplace makes you feel at home."

Hearing Aurora say this, Xingmo suddenly felt that Aurora was not stupid anymore. Instead, she felt that she was just a little...

...romantic feelings?

"How about I build you a fireplace so you can warm yourself by the fire in front of it every day?" Xing Mo said jokingly.

"That's fine~" Aurora blinked. "A fireplace isn't necessary. I feel like, well... anywhere with you feels like home!"

As she spoke, she suddenly threw herself into Xingmo's arms, and then...

...pick up Xingmo and spin her around!

Xingmo: (?Д?≡?д?)!?

Giant Loli! Help!

"Okay, okay! I'm going to feel dizzy!" Xingmo started to look starry-eyed.

"Pfft~"

Aurora put Xingmo down and looked at the dizzy Xingmo with a smile.

Xingmo sat down on the sofa in the living room, leaned back on the cushion, and took deep breaths repeatedly.

"You are so strong, can you do more housework?" Xing Mo said sullenly.

"Oh, don't forget, I'm the master, and you're my saint." Aurora jumped lightly and landed next to Xingmo. "Have you finished your little protective measures?"

"...We're done. You should keep an eye on them too. The Imperials should be very alert right now. I even feel like our entry into the city was a little too smooth."

"Don't worry, they won't dare deny us entry," Aurora raised her chin. "So what's next? Are they going to prepare dinner for us?"

"You little foodie," Xingmo flicked Aurora's forehead lightly, and she cried out, "Ouch!" "Next, it's time to scout the city's terrain."

......

7) Oasis (Part 5) -4k- (Vote for the cute one~)

Xingmo closed her eyes and plucked the strings in the air with her magic wand, stirring up dark ripples.

Ten seconds later, she opened her eyes again and her sight was already high in the sky. A sea of ​​clouds flowed around her, coated with golden light by the sunlight.

Another innocent falcon became a victim of the food chain and became Xingmo's puppet under the power of "Dark String".

Previously, in order to prevent relatively strict mystical inspections at the border of the empire, Xingmo abandoned the falcon in Winter County and let it return to nature.

Of course, it is no longer the same bird as before. As long as Xingmo returns to Winter County, it will become Xingmo's sight again.

Well... this time, we've switched to a bird native to the Empire as our aerial vision! This way, we'll be less likely to be spotted.

"call--"

The hawk flapped its wings in the sky, cutting through the bright sunlight like a sharp sword and flying along the coastline.

New Galo is a city with distinct layers, with the magnificent "Hanging Garden" as its center, and the circular city wall divides the city into two parts.

The area inside the circular city wall is called the "Ring City", which includes official functional institutions such as the "Hanging Gardens", "Grand Palace", "Hall of Wisdom", as well as the residences of the nobles.

South of the city ring is the "seawall area", where the permanent residents are usually composed of outsiders and merchants, including the port where Xingmo landed.

To the north of the city is the "Golden District", which borders the Erlu Desert and is the area where the Garo people and the Golden People live together.

Looking out from the Golden District, one can see the huge wall separating the desert from the oasis, and outside the wall, to the north and south, is the scorching wind that has been howling for thousands of years without stopping.

According to the myths of the Golden People, the world once suffered a disaster called the "Night of Fire". Flames fell from the sky, destroying all living things on earth. Evil demons and vicious beasts emerged from the flames and hunted the Golden People.

At the end of that fire disaster, Yi, the original "Golden Sun", used his own power to gather all the flames in the world, and transformed himself into a blazing sun to dispel the eternal night. From then on, the world welcomed the golden dawn.

The Erulu Desert is the legendary "place where the sun rises", so it remains eternally hot all year round.
