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

Come to think of it, it's been a while since I last saw Miss Perlis. When can I go talk to her?

Xingmo thought about it and put the small bottle of golden liquid into her shoulder bag.

After finishing everything, she turned around and saw Aurora, who had just finished washing up, standing behind her, looking radiant.

"Let's go~" Aurora's bright smile was like the sun.

This little guy has always been a contrast, either sloppy or mysterious.

"Wait a moment." Xing Mo said.

She took out two silk scarves as thin as cicada wings, handed one to Aurora, and tied the other around her neck.

"This is a veil that has a certain cognitive barrier function. It can obscure your facial features while preventing people from accurately capturing them."

As she spoke, Xingmo pulled the scarf over her face, covering the lower half of her face.

"How's the effect?"

"I recognized you, you are Xingmo." Aurora nodded.

Xing Mo: “….”

Seeing Xingmo's speechless expression, visible even through her veil, Aurora burst out laughing.

"Alright, we're too familiar with you. No one else would have noticed."

"I prepared this specially..." Xingmo muttered aggrievedly.

"Hehe~ Very creative~"

Aurora jumped up and patted Xingmo on the head:

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Xingmo puffed up her cheeks slightly, helped Aurora tie the scarf, and then gently pulled it.

The reason for preparing this scarf was simple: Xingmo and Aurora had both met Prince Austin and the "Supreme Praiser", so they were very likely to be recognized by some high-ranking officials in the empire.

In this case, wearing a veil in some special occasions will reduce the risk of being discovered.

Of course, Xingmo believed that it was unlikely that she would be recognized on the street - whether it was the "Supreme Praiser" or Prince Austin, they were unlikely to casually tell their own forces anything related to the "evil god" and the "golden full moon" in Xingmo's body.

Knowledge itself is pollution, and those in high positions know this.

However, it’s always safe to say that nothing can go wrong.

Caution is the boat.

......

After getting on a camel cart on the street, Xingmo pulled aside the thin curtains to let the morning sun shine into the carriage.

The bright sunlight shone into the girl's emerald green pupils. She squinted her eyes slightly, and her vision was filled with a golden color like broken glass.

In that hazy space, the scent of spices accompanied by the morning mist hits your face, and the noise of the streets floats in your ears.

Early in the morning, this ancient city built on gold is already full of vitality.

"Our destination this time is a border town," Xingmo retracted her head and looked at Aurora beside her. "A... uh... seemingly noble lady suddenly developed a nightmare while inspecting her property. It progressed to the mid-to-late stage in just one night."

"Huh? There's such a powerful nightmare?" Aurora tilted her head. "Those weaklings need a long time to become powerful, right?"

"Well, nightmares feed on the host's spirit," Xing Mo nodded. "Generally speaking, if the spirit is destroyed too quickly, the host will die quickly, so nightmares usually eat away at it slowly. This is why the fatal cycle of nightmare syndrome often takes several months..."

"Since it has suddenly developed to the middle or late stage, there are only two possibilities..."

"For example, the noblewoman's soul is so powerful that the nightmare feasted on her and evolved instantly?" Aurora frowned. "That's impossible. Anyone who needs a doctor because of nightmares is obviously a loser."

"Well, so I am more inclined to the second possibility." Xing Mo's expression became quite serious.

Because this second possibility...maybe a worse possibility.

"That is, there is an external energy source that is constantly increasing the power of nightmares. In this way, nightmares can continue to multiply without damaging the host spirit."

For a moment, the carriage fell into silence.

Xingmo sighed. She recalled the pollution in "Xinghai Spring". If the situation in Xinjialuo was the same, things would become much more difficult.

"That sounds terrible," Aurora stuck out her tongue. "It's not that it's terrible, but I feel like the working hours will be longer..."

"What's wrong? I have nothing to do anyway?" Xing Mo pondered and clapped his hands, "Oh, I know, your next sentence will be-"

"You want to go back to the city to eat."

"We want to go back to the city to eat~"

The two spoke at the same time, and then smiled at each other. Xing Mo couldn't help but pinch the kitten's face:

"Don't worry, even though the border town is close to the desert, it doesn't mean there are no delicious foods."

"Really?" Aurora's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then you have to promise to give us something delicious to eat!"

"Okay, okay...don't be like a child..."

Xingmo chuckled and rubbed Aurora's head, then lowered her head, her mind full of thoughts.

If the previous conjecture is correct, and there really is some external power source that is increasing the expansion of the nightmare itself...

For some reason, Xingmo recalled the "Steam Man".

After all, the power of Nightmare and the power of "Steam Man" are of the same origin, both coming from the "Invisible Mist" that symbolizes blasphemy.

And this source of power that "allows nightmares to grow stronger even after escaping their host"... is simply like the "curse" that Prince Austin spread in the Citadel.

When the density of the curse reaches a certain level, the evil god's follower "Song of Death" will descend into the real world, and "Steam Man" can also move freely in the Academy through the curse cloud.

Thinking of the spiritual power flowing into the Erlu Desert, Xingmo felt more and more uneasy.

The Imperials...seem to be doing something forbidden in the desert...

However, you will soon be able to see it with your own eyes.

Thinking of this, Xingmo closed his eyes and waited to reach his destination.

About half an hour later, the camel cart stopped.

"We're here."

Xingmo opened her eyes and saw Aurora had already opened the car door and stepped out impatiently:

"Ouch! It's so hot!"

A wave of heat suddenly rushed into the carriage, making Xingmo frown.

Man...this is too hot...

Xingmo plucked two ice strings, allowing the ice air to condense into a small space around him, which at least wouldn't be so hot.

Then, she followed Aurora out of the car.

"call--"

The wind cooled by the ice rink is not as hot, but it is far from refreshing.

The bleak scene of the border town came into view: low buildings, dust in the air, and bronze-skinned people wearing few pieces of cloth and turbans on their heads, working on the sand.

This is the junction of the seawall area and the golden area. Looking northeast from here, you can see the endless Eru Desert.

It can be said that this place is the border of New Galo.

"Wow, it's so cool next to you, let me rub against you too."

Aurora pounced on Xingmo, hugged her waist with a "hehe" and looked up with a silly smile.

"It feels comfortable~" She squinted her eyes like a kitten enjoying the cool air.

"Idiot..." Xingmo felt that the little guy had started to act silly recently. "Let's go, Assistant Ruby, Doctor Jie Deti is about to start seeing patients."

The two walked for a distance on the sand and soon arrived at the location indicated by the commission.

This was a small community formed by a large number of tents gathered together. Soldiers wearing bronze helmets were guarding the entrance to the camp. When they saw Xingmo, they extended their hands:

"Pass." The guard's voice seemed to break through gravel.

Xing Mo handed over the commission and immediately looked carefully inside the camp: workers coming and going, scholars in white robes, and some people who looked like doctors walking around.

It looks like some kind of exploration site? Could they be digging for antiques?

Just as Xing Mo was complaining in her heart, the camp guard confirmed her identity and waved his hand, signaling her to pass.

As soon as we entered the camp, a girl with tanned skin came up to us.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Jiedeti?"

"That's right," Xing Mo nodded, "You are..."

"My name is Elsie, and I'm the camp owner's maid," the girl introduced herself anxiously. "Um... this is a bit urgent. Please follow me quickly."

Xingmo didn't say anything, just nodded, and followed the girl named Elsie through the camp.

"The mistress is seriously ill," Elsie said as she walked, pursing her lips. "The sages and doctors accompanying her are unable to cure her... If she dies..."

"Please rest assured, she will be fine." Xing Mo said lightly.

At this moment, Aurora's voice came from Xingmo's mind:

"She's not worried about the hostess, she's worried about herself."

"Why?" Xingmo thought in his mind.

"Shallow telepathy can only read so much. If we want to see her thoughts clearly, we must go deeper, or she will faint..."

"..." The corners of Xingmo's mouth twitched slightly. For some reason, she remembered those unpleasant experiences of hers.

At this time, the three of them came to the door of a large tent. Elsie opened the curtain and walked in with Xingmo.

It was rather dark inside the curtain, and a faint scent of incense lingered in the air, making Xingmo's eyes a little blurry for a moment.

The incense smells very strong... Is it trying to block the impact of the abnormal flow of spiritual energy on the real world?

Xing Mo pinched her nose, and when she came to her senses, her eyes fell on the big bed at the end of the room.

There, a bronze-skinned woman in a luxurious nightgown was lying unconscious, her face pale.

Around her, doctors and scholars were constantly placing those strange half-divine and half-scientific instruments, which made Xingmo laugh.

The root cause of nightmares lies in "dreams". If you cannot fall asleep, there is no way to solve the root cause.

"Sage! Doctor Jiedeti is here!" Elsie came forward, "Let her come..."

"Shut up! You Garo bastard!" the sage suddenly shouted, "I know what to do."

The roar scared Xingmo and Aurora so much that they shrank their necks suddenly - my goodness, so angry?

The two men immediately looked at the scholar - he was wearing a white robe, glasses, and his decent-looking face was full of anger.

"Are you the doctor Jiedeti who claims to be able to defeat nightmares?" The corners of the sage's mouth twitched.

"Yes." Xing Mo responded calmly.

"Where did you graduate from? Where did you study? Why have I never heard of your name?"

A sarcastic expression appeared on the corner of the sage's mouth:

"Mr. Luffy asked me to trust you, but with all due respect, I must confirm whether you have a reliable medical license, and..."

"Mr. Sage," Xingmo calmly interrupted Sage's rapid-fire barrage, "This patient's treatment should have lasted longer than a whole night, right?"

The sage looked panicked:

"What are you trying to find out? Don't be so evasive! It's precisely because a whole night has passed that I..."

"In one night," Xingmo said word by word, "I can treat a hundred such patients."

For a moment, the tent was silent. Elsie, who was bullied by the sage like a drowned puppy, blinked blankly.

Because she had never seen anyone dare to speak to the sage like this.

Xing Mo smiled slightly, then said lightly:

"Since your attempt has been proven ineffective, please move aside. The hospital bed is a battlefield. My goal is to keep the patient alive, not to gossip about others."

"you..."

The sage's face suddenly twisted, but he couldn't say anything, looking very angry.

He could only watch Xingmo walk to the bedside, watch the doctors surrounding the bed disperse, and watch Xingmo squat on the ground with his eyes closed.
