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

Then eat, eat well, eat hard...

Tomorrow... I'll give Mr. Luffy the artist's melody and lyrics and see if he can find some mystery between the lines.

Xingmo had a hunch: no matter what the artist was trying to spread, it must be inextricably linked to the real conspiracy of the Imperials.

It's like a time bomb that can explode at any time.

......

North City Port-Academy

The blue crescent moon rose into the sky, casting its blue reflection on the waves of the sea, cutting it into tiny pieces.

At the port in the northern city, Alice, dressed in a black dress, was standing at the dock, watching the three-masted sailboat appear on the distant horizon.

That was the Black Pine.

"Ah...it seems our warriors have returned with a full load." Beside Alice, Merlin, dressed in a black suit, was looking at the horizon with a smile. "Oh, I really hope our friends in the Empire don't take it too seriously."

"There's no point worrying about it," Alice muttered. "I heard that 'Ocean Archon' Ahmed suffered an unprecedented defeat."

"That's the news I received," Merlin said with a smile, "Ah... thanks to our reliable allies."

"If you had gone in yourself, our chances of winning might have been better," Alice muttered. "I heard that Delem Kans almost escaped with the relic, only for Xiaomo to display...a strange power at that moment."

"That's why I insisted Ling pick up Xiaomo," Merlin said, looking into the distance. "You see, everything is tightly linked to the gears of fate."

Alice turned her head and looked at Merlin's profile, watching his wise eyes reflecting the light of the blue crescent moon cast from the sky.

It was obvious that the principal knew many secrets, perhaps involving areas that Alice could not explore.

Alice didn't intend to ask, as she knew that in the field of mysticism, knowledge itself carried the risk of being contaminated.

If the principal didn't say anything, it meant that those things were not suitable for her to know.

But even though she felt this way, Alice still said harshly:

"No matter what, Xiaomo is still too hard-working. She's carried out so many missions at once, including Winter County and sailing on the sea. Next, she has to go to New Galo. But some people can sit in a dessert shop and drink coffee and eat coffee pudding. Sigh..."

Merlin felt embarrassed after hearing these words. He scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly:

"Oh...what about this? How about I ask Xiao Huozi to send some coffee pudding to Xiao Mo?"

"No thanks," Alice shook her head. "I think there's a better solution."

"what way?"

"Just transfer the money directly, so she doesn't have to work while earning money."

"Ah... well..." Merlin said, a little embarrassed. "You know, Alice, the income and expenditure of the academy is not that..."

"Poor Xiaomo, she must be huddled in some slum apartment in New Galo right now..." Alice murmured, gazing at the distant horizon. "I wonder if she can even get enough to eat... and she's in danger of being discovered by the Immortal Division. If..."

"Alright, alright, I get it," Merlin raised his hands in surrender. "I'll have Xiao Huozi transfer the funds to her tomorrow. Stop nagging."

"What a good principal." Alice chuckled.

In fact, she knew that Xingmo's living conditions would definitely not be too bad - after all, in the last letter, Xingmo reported the financial situation of his operations and asked Alice not to worry.

However, it's Principal Merlin's money anyway, so any amount you can get is the better.

Although this principal is the only "demigod" in the entire academy and a highly respected figure in the academic world, some of his daily actions are still a bit too out of line.

Therefore, although Alice is also Merlin's subordinate, she has developed this...harmonious way of getting along with him over time.

"Oh, the Black Pine has arrived," Alice noticed, noting that the three-masted sailboat was rapidly approaching the harbor. "Headmaster, you'd better get out of the way. And you guys, you'd better get out of the way."

"Hmm?" Merlin frowned. "What's wrong? Could it be..."

Before he could finish, a strong spiritual pressure erupted from a distance, accompanied by an ice-blue flame that lit up the sea.

Merlin immediately retreated ten meters. The next second, a burst of sound waves erupted from the deck of the Black Pine, and a figure quickly flew across the sea.

"ALICE"

That was Vivian, her body ablaze with icy flames! Light was blazing from the depths of her pupils, like a dragon on the hunt!

As her body flew across the sea at a high speed, it created two waves on the sea surface that spread out to both sides, like a cannonball!

Faced with such symptoms, Alice did not show any intention of backing down.

She stood there with a calm expression, drew out her wand, and then...

...simply played the fifth string.

The next second, the ice-blue flame and the blazing fire light collided on the dock. With a loud bang, the violent shock wave almost overturned all the staff on the dock.

When the light faded, Alice was seen holding the unconscious Vivian in a princess hug, standing there, unharmed.

Merlin: “…”

He rubbed his eyes, thinking to himself, "I've never seen anything like this before. Even in this day and age, I can still see a dragon and its dragon rider fighting openly on the docks..."

Noticing the principal's look, Alice shook her head.

"There's no other way. I can only use some trickery to knock her out. Once, I was on a business trip for half a month. When I was returning from the ship, I saw the port of the Citadel glowing from the deck. It almost scared the sailors to death."

"What happened next?" Merlin asked curiously.

"And then? She flew directly from the harbor and crashed into the ship. She almost sank the ship. I paid quite a bit of compensation..."

Alice looked at the unconscious Vivian in her arms and sighed helplessly.

Her expression looked helpless, but there was undoubtedly a hint of smile at the corner of her mouth:

"She's a stupid child who doesn't know how to control her thoughts. Perhaps this is what a dragon is."

Alice gently smoothed Vivian's hair, then turned and walked towards the Pushet family's carriage.

"Then the task of sealing the Storm Beacon will be left to you, Headmaster."

"Please lend a hand, Alice." Merlin tried to persuade her to stay.

"It's time to do something, Headmaster."

"..."

Looking at Alice's back as she left with Vivian in her arms, Merlin finally realized that this guy was here to take his little dragon girl home.

He sighed, silently straightened his hat which was blown a little askew by the shock wave just now, and continued to wait.

Ten minutes later, the Black Pine docked at the port.

Professor Ling appeared on the deck. She was holding wands with three or four wizards. The azure strings kept ringing in the air, maintaining a bubble above her head.

Merlin saw the flute in the bubble at a glance: it was an exquisite creation with the dual textures of pure silver and bone, surrounded by pure water that shone with a faint blue light, and the water flow around it was constantly increasing.

"'Storm Beacon'..." Merlin murmured, "'Pale Angel', is he nothing more than a bird in a cage now?"

He walked forward and drew out his wand to help Professor Ling maintain the stability of the seal.

Professor Ling nodded to Merlin who was approaching, and then the group of people transported the holy relics and stood in front of the carriage.

"Thank you all for your assistance," Merlin nodded to the wizards maintaining the seal, "I'll take over from here."

As he spoke, he pulled out a golden handkerchief from his sleeve, then reached into the bubble in the air and held the bone flute in his hand.

He took out the bone flute, wrapped it in a golden handkerchief, and squeezed it gently.

A faint golden light flickered, and the next second, the bone flute no longer gushed out pure water, as if it had become an ordinary object.

Merlin and Ling got on the carriage together and instructed the coachman:

"Take us to the Holy Spirit Church."

"..."

The carriage sped along the road. There were only two people in the carriage, and it was dark.

Merlin waved his wand, creating a "star stream horizon" around him, and then said to Professor Ling:

"What's the situation?"

"Your guess is correct," Professor Ling nodded. "Like my dice and your lightning, she possesses the power of 'fate', and is even more powerful than any of us..."

Then, Professor Ling told Merlin what happened at that time, from the banquet in the eye of the storm to Xingmo triggering a series of coincidences to seize the bone flute.

After hearing this, Merlin said nothing and remained silent.

He looked out the window, at the blue crescent moon in the sky, and closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, a blood-red full moon hung in the sky.

"..."

Merlin's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile, and then he turned to Professor Ling and said:

"Well, now that we have the means to weave a storm wall, let's focus on fighting the war at hand."

"I believe that the Scarab will come to negotiate terms with us soon."

"Do you think that guy is trustworthy?" Professor Ling frowned. "The Imperials have always been fickle and unscrupulous."

"I don't need them to keep their word..."

Merlin smiled, his eyes gleaming with a light that seemed to see through everything:

"Because fate has already arranged the future."

...END...

8) Flower, sun and you -4k-

In Qingcheng, where the sea breeze blows, the academic city port is bustling with people.

Of course, the port in the northern city is never idle. Merchants and fishermen often need to travel to the port, either landing or going out to sea.

The difference this time was that most of the people making the noise were students.

Nefera Beta Magic Academy organized a field class at the port in the northern city.

"Master, look! That's the Imperial ship! It seems to be called the 'Black Jackal'."

"I know, stop yelling..."

Among the people attending the field class, Master Nob Sunlight yawned, looking as if he had not yet woken up.

As the student union's prefect, Nobo is already extremely busy, with countless tasks to do every day.

For example, unclog the toilet in the East Tower... and clean the birdhouse in the West Tower.

In fact, he didn't have to do these things. As the class leader, he could have arrogantly ordered a few timid freshmen to do the work.

But Nobo did not choose this way. He basically took on most of the complaints to the Student Union and handled them all by himself when he had time.

The reason is also very simple.

The boss asked him to do more good things, and the boss is always right.

"Tell me, when will our field service class be as impressive as Boss Xingsheng's?" a boy next to Nobo muttered, "It's been so long since she last had class... I heard she's out of town..."

"The eldest sister doesn't have to go to class because what she has to do is more amazing than what we have to do," Nobo glanced at the boy, "Don't think you can do those things too."

"Huh? Could it be that... Young Master, you know the content of the boss's field class?"

"Uh..." Nobo was in a dilemma.

To be honest, he didn't know what Xingsheng was doing, he only knew that he was going to the field class.

But...he could guess some of it.

Yesterday, when he went to Professor Ling's office to hand in some information, he happened to hear Professor Ling talking about something with Professor Renault.

Professor Ling said: "...This trip to the eye of the storm needs to be quickly archived and sealed, because it involves the Pirate King and the extraordinary..."

Professor Renault said, "...I heard that student was also involved...?"

After that, the two noticed Nobo coming in and stopped talking about that topic.

Student... Fieldwork... Trip to the Eye of the Storm...

Oh my god, it can’t be Boss Xingsheng!

Did the boss go with Professor Ling to fight pirates? Will she get hurt?

Nobo cleared his throat and answered the excited students:
