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

Looking at the city wall at the edge of the Golden District from the perspective of an eagle, Xingmo imagined the sandstorms that had been blowing for thousands of years flowing outside.

Deep within that desert lies the shrine of the Golden Sun.

In the "Golden Sands Revolution" of 2934, the "Golden King" Ugaen Tukakankion overthrew the Garo Dynasty with the power he seized from the gods and built the current empire.

Now, Xingmo is about to walk the path that this king once walked to peek into the truth about the gods and the world.

What she seeks is not conquest, but protection.

"..."

Xingmo drove the falcon, preparing to let its vision approach the city to see the situation of the sky garden.

But at this moment, a burst of inspiration suddenly arose in her heart. She immediately drove the falcon to turn around at the edge of the city and then flew past an invisible wall.

"...!"

Xingmo released the Eagle Eye and suddenly sat up from the sofa.

"Aurora, do you feel it?" She turned her head and looked at Aurora beside her.

"Of course," Aurora nodded as she sat cross-legged on the sofa. "Someone... is overlooking New Garo."

.......

Sky Garden-Ring City

Hundreds of stone pillars carved with totems of mythical birds support the top of the colonnade, as if giants standing in a row were holding up a huge stone slab together.

On the inside of the colonnade, a black and gold gate faces the sea south of Singara. Spots of sunlight shine on the gate, making the golden patterns on the door glow slightly.

On one side of the gate, a tall figure wearing a jackal mask and a wide robe stood like a guardian deity, with two rays of fire outlined in the darkness through the mask's eye sockets.

He held a scepter, guarding the gate, motionless.

Suddenly, a faint buzzing sound came from the side of his ear, and a light flashed in the eyes of the "Supreme Praiser", and his sight instantly came to the sky above the edge of the ring city.

Looking around, I saw only a flock of ferry birds flying over the edge of the city, nothing unusual.

The 'Supreme Praiser' silently withdrew his gaze and continued to stand there, like a genuine stone statue.

At this time, several palace maids with their bodies decorated with golden chains came from one side of the colonnade and stopped in front of him.

"Great Praiser..." The leading maid bowed her head slightly. "The 'Ocean Archon' is entering the waters off Singara. The 'Voice of the Returning Soul' has sent intel that the 'Golden Fleet' has suffered significant damage in the battle."

"Let him in," the Jackal's voice was hoarse and deep, "and stand by."

"He has requested a meeting with the Golden King," the maid lowered her head, seemingly afraid to look the praiser in the eye. "Look..."

"Denied," the Jackal said briefly. "The King will not receive anyone before the rising sun is in the sky."

"As commanded..."

The maids fled as if they were escaping. They felt their bodies trembling just standing in front of the "Supreme Praiser", let alone continuing to do so.

As for this great being who stands beneath the Golden King, no one has ever known the true face behind his mask, let alone his former identity.

He calls himself the servant of the sun, serving the only true god, the "Golden Sun", and forever stands at the entrance of the main hall of the "Hanging Gardens".

And now, as the god's representative on earth, the "Golden King" represents the god's mouthpiece and is naturally followed by the "Supreme Praiser".

"..."

The jackal stared at the sunlight between the pillars, a pair of fiery eyes flashing behind the bronze mask.

Faintly, he felt that a steel fleet was entering the waters near Garo.

And he knew that the Golden People would soon reach the land on the other side.

......

Since they had just arrived, Xingmo and Aurora went out to find food after putting their luggage away.

The sunlight in Xinjialuo was a little dazzling, not as comfortable as that in the academy, but it still provided just the right amount of warmth. Walking along the streets of this foreign country, Xingmo's mood suddenly improved a lot.

To be honest, I really like traveling, especially meeting all kinds of people and seeing scenery that is different from my hometown.

"..."

The two found a street restaurant in the seawall area and ordered a few dishes at the beginning of the menu. Soon, the waiter brought the food.

Today's lunch is seafood rice bowl. The rice used in this rice bowl is different from the kind used by Yan Xia and Xue Cheng. It is a more slender and flexible rice that looks like strips.

The rice is dyed golden yellow by the sauce, exuding the warm aroma of seafood. The shrimp and fish meat, which have been stewed in the sauce and have a mushy texture, are sprinkled on the rice together with the sauce, looking crispy and delicious.

"Wow..." Aurora's eyes began to light up again, "This looks... so powerful!"

"Your adjectives are always weird..." Xingmo smiled.

She picked up half a lemon from the small plate on the side, squeezed the lemon juice onto the paella, and then stirred it with chopsticks.

In fact, she also asked the waiter for this pair of chopsticks: the local people of Gala usually eat directly with their hands, so this kind of rice is also called "hand-pulled rice".

But Xingmo was not used to it, so she chose to use chopsticks honestly.

"Ouch~"

Aurora grabbed a handful of rice without hesitation and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

Then, her heart-shaped pupils began to move:

"...Ugh...delicious!"

"Eat slowly, little idiot," Xingmo handed over the napkin beside her, "be careful not to choke."

As she spoke, she picked up the rice and took a bite.

Unexpectedly, these seemingly flexible and slender rice grains are extremely crispy when put into the mouth, and they break apart almost at the slightest sip, releasing the aroma of seafood soaked in the sauce.

The taste is very good...Xing Mo nodded, quickly broke down the recipe of the dish in her mind, and prepared to try to replicate it herself later.

"So, what are we going to do this afternoon?" Aurora wiped her mouth with a napkin. "Shopping?"

"How can I be so leisurely..." Xing Mo shook her head, "I have to go visit Mr. Luffy."

"Oh, the old man I met on the train?" Aurora nodded.

"Respect the elderly."

Although they had only been together for a short time, in Xingmo's eyes, Mr. Luffy had already become someone she trusted more.

He speaks in a gentle and polite manner, and has a wise mind and profound background.

Of course, I won't believe it blindly, after all...

Xing Mo's eyes dimmed for a moment, but soon filled with the sunlight pouring into the shop from the window:

"We need to ask Mr. Luffy about the Golden Sun shrine. After all, he's a local and his understanding of the divine ruins is definitely deeper than ours."

"Also, if we want to concoct a 'demigod'-level elixir, we'll need a high-level alchemy workshop to process the ribs of the 'Winter Envoy'."

"Also, if possible, we need to ask Mr. Luffy about the current situation of New Garo, um..."

"So many requests, old man?" Aurora looked up. "How about I turn into a basket of fruit and you take it as a gift?"

"You can also transform into fruit?" Xing Mo was incredulous. "Why have I never eaten the fruit you transformed into?"

"Do you want to try the fruit with a mouth and teeth?" Aurora smiled brightly.

Xing Mo: “…”

"Little ancestor, our mission is to reach a cooperation with Mr. Luffy, not to assassinate Mr. Luffy..." Xing Mo's mouth twitched.

"Hahaha~ Just kidding~"

Aurora raised her head and slightly nodded her lips:

"Hmm... He's researching 'Song of the Sand', right? Then maybe... we can give him our... vision?"

Hearing this, Xing Mo narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Don't do anything bad, okay?"

"How can that be considered a bad thing? I'll definitely ask him about it!" Aurora puffed out her cheeks. "What kind of image do you have of me?"

"It's a stupid little animal." Xingmo nodded.

"Be careful or we'll turn you into a howling little animal tonight!" Aurora waved her little fist angrily.

"Then forget about having breakfast tomorrow," Xingmo chuckled. "All kidding aside, you mean you can provide him with the 'Tree Vision'?"

"Of course, after all, 'Song of the Sand' is also a power of the life realm. If he wants to study it, it would be better to have the same perspective~"

Aurora said, blinking:

"We will ask him about it. Don't worry. I've been a good boy for so long. I haven't done anything bad, have I?"

"That's because your godhead is incomplete. If you mess up, it might cause a god to descend, and you won't be able to defeat him." Xing Mo pointed to her chest. She could poke the "Angel's Tears" hanging on the lining.

“Hey hey hey…”

Aurora quickly finished the rice on her plate and then stretched out her greasy little hands towards Xingmo.

Xingmo pointed her magic wand in the air, and the sauce stuck on Aurora's hand immediately separated and was cleaned away.

"How convenient~" Aurora took another napkin and wiped her hands carefully.

"I have a feeling that things won't go smoothly," Xingmo said, putting down his chopsticks and wiping his mouth, "especially since we don't have any allies right now."

"Yes," Aurora looked up curiously, "Have you forgotten about those elves?"

"Are you referring to the light elves of the Silver Blade Tribe?" Xing Mo shrank back. "Little ancestor, they haven't left the forest for thousands of years. Why would they fight for us?"

"We are gods." Aurora spread her hands.

Xing Mo: “…?”

It seems...right?

"But it's better not to trouble them if possible," Xingmo sighed. "Speaking of elves, do you remember the pollution in the river?"

"Of course I remember. It must have flowed out of New Garo," Aurora muttered. "How dare the Imperials pour a curse into the water? How uncultured!"

"This is also a point we need to investigate. My intuition is that this is related to the Imperials' next plan." Xing Mo said.

"Alright, alright, you're acting jumpy again, little saint."

Aurora stood up, tiptoed, then reached across the table and gently patted Xingmo's head.

"Just relax, everything will work out."

"You seem to be strangely confident about this..." Xing Mo blushed slightly after being slapped on the head in public, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"It's the power that Aurora has contemplated."

"...I should have known there was nothing to be gained."

When the two were chatting happily, suddenly, a long whistle was heard outside the shop.

At the same time, many people in the store stood up, wiped their hands hurriedly, and started to rush out.

"What's going on?" Aurora tilted her head.

"That whistle..." Xing Mo murmured, "It's the 'Voice of the Returning Soul'."

That is the flagship of the "Ocean Archon". His return means that the "Golden Fleet" has returned to the port of New Garo!

"Oh, that's boring~" Aurora waved her hand, "They were all blown to pieces by the little animals. There's nothing to see."

Just as Aurora was about to sit down and drink another glass of water, Xingmo stood up:

"Let's go to the port."

"What's so good about it?" Aurora shook her head. "I don't want to see it."

"So, dinner tonight..."

"Let's go!"

Aurora stood up, took Xingmo's hand with full energy, and ran out of the store with her.

The two of them went into the sunlight outside the shop and ran towards the port with the crowd.
