Leaving his sister's sphere of influence, the great evil god returns!

"Don't be too happy," Xingmo teased, "Miss Perlis can still sense this side, be careful she comes out and spanks you."

After saying this, Aurora's expression suddenly became strange and she stopped talking for a moment.

She...hadn't she really been spanked?

"Well, anyway, we have to be busy all day today."

Xing Mo stretched and let out a breath:

"After Lights, the next person is the architect of the Hanging Gardens."

"Does she have a love-hate relationship with that artist?" Aurora said. "I recalled the dream, and the artist was thinking deeply about her."

"After all, they were once considered... colleagues?" Xing Mo waved her hand. "A competitive relationship... a romantic relationship?"

"It's love all of a sudden? Little Saint is also a love-brained person. Do you want me to recommend some yuri novels to you, such as..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Xing Mo refused to be contaminated by the ancient god, "Anyway, it's time for us to set off."

It's another busy morning and another sunny day.

On the third day in New Galo, Xingmo had to admit the biggest advantage of this city: it is always sunny here.

Even in winter, the scorching wind from the Erlu Desert makes it as warm as spring.

This is probably the charm of the Oasis City.

If it weren't for her current responsibilities, Xingmo would really like to experience the breath of this city, walk through its streets and alleys, and take a close look at the huge "Sky Garden".

Unfortunately, this opportunity is unlikely to come now.

Hopefully, when world peace returns, she can travel across the continent.

"..."

Xingmo brought breakfast and first went to Mr. Luffy's mansion and went to the high-level alchemy workshop to confirm the status of the "Super Deconstructor".

The skeleton of the "Winter Messenger" still hung directly above the deconstruction machine's altar, a dazzling blue light constantly flashing. From time to time, pure transcendental debris would fall onto the altar below and then be collected through the suction tube.

Well... the progress is going smoothly, keep it up!

Xing Mo checked the operation of the instrument and after confirming that everything was fine, he came to the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the workshop.

There was a mat on the floor next to the floor-to-ceiling window, with a large quilt and two pillows on it.

Xingmo could almost imagine the two little guys sleeping while looking at the stars by the window.

At this moment, Alia and Bianca were having breakfast, while Aurora was talking about the wonders she had seen inside the ring city yesterday, which made the two little ones' eyes light up.

"Miss Saint!" Alia raised her hand as Xingmo approached. "Is the treasure house of the 'Gold Pavilion' really moving?"

"Of course," Xingmo smiled, "You can go and have a look after you complete your mission."

"Great!" Alya raised her hand. "I was just wondering if I could sneak in now. A moving treasure trove, wow... well... forget the hassle."

Alia's voice suddenly became cautious.

Xing Mo reached out and rubbed the little gray-haired girl's head, then turned her head and looked at the repeatedly flashing blue light of the "Super Deconstruction Machine":

"By the way, won't it affect you when you sleep at night? That thing is always glowing, huh?"

"No way."

Alia said, reaching out and picking up a...

...eyepatch.

Xing Mo: “…”

Wow, I thought it was some extraordinary ability of the dark elves, but it turned out to be so simple and unpretentious.

After promising to bring dinner in the evening, Xingmo and Aurora left the high-level alchemy workshop.

Then they took a camel cart to the outskirts of Singara.

"According to the information provided by Mr. Luffy, the architect of the Sky Garden, Isis Elebella, lives in the suburbs of Singara, quite a distance from the city center, in a very remote location."

"Such an important figure, yet she's so far away from the Ring City?" Aurora muttered. "Isn't she afraid someone might try to pry the secret out of her?"

"But who would bother with an architect?"

"Huh? Us?" Aurora was puzzled.

Xing Mo: “…”

Well, to be precise, this is indeed going to cause trouble for Miss Isis.

When I first heard her name, she was the one who renovated the "Hanging Gardens" and it was rumored that she gave the "Hanging Gardens" the power to fly.

Now, with the Citadel possessing the Storm Beacon, it would be extremely risky for the Empire's naval forces to cross the sea.

But if the Hanging Gardens could fly...

"Tell me, if the Imperials plan to attack the Citadel from the air, is that reasonable?" Aurora suddenly asked.

"In the air..." Xing Mo frowned, "Where can I find so many steam airships?"

"They could drive the Hanging Gardens over there," Aurora began to daydream. "Something that big, drive it into the sky above the Citadel, and then boom! Bang! Rumble!"

"Stop, stop..." Xingmo was amused by Aurora's mysterious onomatopoeia. "Besides, whether this is reasonable or not, with such a large target, the Citadel should be able to destroy it easily."

Before Aurora could refute, Xingmo's expression changed:

"But... we can't rule out this possibility. If Mr. Luffy considers the 'Architect' so important, then her renovation of the Sky Garden must have been highly secretive."

"And secrecy often symbolizes danger..."

Regardless, the information in the Architect's mind is extremely important, and it is related to a part of the Golden King's plan.

And... she seems to have another identity: a former popular poet who was neglected after the rise of "Artist" Letus Agomont.

Leites seems to have an abnormal admiration for her, and it is not known whether this is the reason for her later change of identity.

"..."

As they were talking, the camel cart stopped in the suburbs.

When I opened the car door, golden sunlight came in and sprinkled on the golden rice fields.

Between heaven and earth, bronze-skinned people are working hard - even in the dead of winter, they are still harvesting wheat straw in the rice fields, working very hard.

"Wow..." Xingmo exclaimed lightly, "I never thought I could see golden wheat fields in winter."

"The essence of those children has been tampered with," Aurora said suddenly, "It's as if their growth cycle has been accelerated..."

The girl raised her head and looked at the sun in the sky without blinking.

“…Flowers and plants shouldn’t be kept in pots.”

"Cheer up..." Xingmo patted Aurora's shoulder gently, wanting to say something but unable to.

Then, she began to scan the surroundings, searching for the Architect's mansion.

This did not take much effort. With just a quick glance, the mansion standing among the wheat fields appeared in Xingmo's eyes.

It was a building that looked like an ancient castle. Although it looked very dilapidated, it was still being repaired overall.

"...I heard she lives alone in that building," Xingmo muttered, "It's so big...just alone?"

"A lonely person," Aurora commented.

The two of them started walking, heading straight towards Isis's mansion.

In the fields nearby, a villager saw their behavior and hurried over with a hoe, shouting:

"Gula Badass! Gulla Badass!"

Xing Mo: “.......?”

She turned her head and looked at the golden man who spoke a strange language. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.

This seems to be a dialect... a very remote one...

It’s bad. I don’t know what he means. Is he giving a warning or something?

Just when Xingmo was at a loss, Aurora took the initiative to step forward:

"Chiliqah, chiliqah," Aurora said seriously.

Hey! I'm speaking in dialect! I'm not talking nonsense! Be careful not to offend me!

Xingmo wanted to stop Aurora's mysterious behavior, but the Golden People quickly nodded:

"Aga Bali Dada Sigulu!"

"Chiliqah?" Aurora nodded seriously. "Chiliqah?"

"Adabala! Slit!"

"Jili, quack."

"Aga Daba!"

The golden people shook their heads, then carried their hoes helplessly and went back to work in the fields.

Xing Mo stared blankly at this genuine "encrypted call" happening before her eyes and couldn't help but swallow her saliva:

"Little Ancestor..." She said cautiously, "What did you just say to him?"

"Oh, I used a simple dream implant to translate what I meant for him," Aurora raised her head and stuck out her tongue playfully. "He understood what I said, and I understood what he said too."

Xing Mo: “….”

Wow, so this is how you can play with the power of dreams? All the chatter is coming...

Looking at Xingmo's speechless expression, Aurora blinked again:

"In short, he meant for us to stay away from that castle."

"why?"

"Because there are ghosts."

"what?"

Xingmo looked at the big sun above her head and then at the castle in the distance.

"It's broad daylight, could the castle be haunted?" Xing Mo pointed above her head.

"That's what they said. They said that there was an evil ghost that harvested souls living in that castle. Every night, it would make strange noises, and any small animals that got close to it would disappear. Over time, no one dared to go near it anymore."

Aurora muttered and shook her head:

"We don't really care. If there really is a ghost, the worst that can happen is that we just beat it away."

......

9) The Doll's Little Sadness (Part 4) -5k- (Level Up Bonus)

A castle in the suburbs... a haunted legend...

Xing Mo's eyes swept across the castle from top to bottom again, and he felt strange in his heart.

To be honest, she really found it hard to imagine that ghosts could be bred in a castle that was exposed to the sun all day long.

Generally speaking, evil spirits nourish their power in gloomy environments, which usually means dark forests, deep caves, or some invisible bloody altars.

These are words that have nothing to do with the scene before them.

Not to mention that it was the residence of the "Architect". If she was really the one who renovated the "Sky Garden", how could she be living in such a miserable state?

Who would allow their home to be haunted?

Xing Mo shook his head, feeling that there was not much point in thinking about these things.

It’s the same thing as what Aurora said. If there really is a ghost, the worst that can happen is to beat it up.

Just beat it until it stops playing tricks.

"Let's go~"

"..."

The two of them walked through the golden wheat fields, heading towards the castle. As they got closer, the weeds in the wheat fields became more and more, and finally it became a wasteland.
