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

Alia was silent for a moment, then spoke softly:

"When I was in prison, someone gave me a drug that they said would make me behave myself..."

"Ever since I was injected with that drug, I've been infected with the black qi disease."

Xing Mo's pupils shrank, and she quickly asked:

"Do you remember the man's appearance?"

Alia lowered her head, her face painful, as if she was thinking about some bad memories.

After a moment, she whispered cautiously:

"I remember... he was wearing a yellow robe..."

......

"Alice, I found it."

In the prayer room of the Holy Spirit Church, Vivian slapped a photo on the table and proudly placed her hands on her hips.

Alice picked up the photograph, which had been taken in the South City area and showed a man in a yellow robe talking to Bishop Fry Sunlighter, who was in a black robe.

"How fast..." Alice murmured, "I sent you the message last night, and I found it this morning..."

"Hey, hey, I stayed up all night, woke up more than ten people from their dreams, and uncovered the dark side of almost half of South City."

Vivian smiled tiredly, walked over to Alice, and rested her head on her shoulder.

"Shouldn't you hold me and sleep all morning~"

"Silly Dragon Girl, I'll keep you company tonight," Alice smoothed Vivian's white hair, "Now... I have to send a few messengers, this looks like a big fish..."

Her eyes fell on the figure in the yellow robe: it was obvious that he was a Machiavellian, a citizen of the Empire.

In the South City District, the people of the Empire owe their allegiance to only one person.

"Blood Epiphyllum", Prince Austin.

......

4) Haze in the North City (Part 9)

Under the dome of the Cathedral of St. Auros, Sister Lilitz was looking up at the dome, clasping her hands together and praying.

Beside her, Alia, who was wearing a small nun's uniform, also clasped her hands together and prayed in a formal manner.

Xingmo and Aurora watched the two from afar. Seeing the two nuns, one tall and one short, standing together, Xingmo couldn't help but cover his forehead.

In the end, Alia's place of belonging is actually here...

Since she knew about the "Tree of Life", she couldn't go to the shelter casually. Xingmo and Aurora usually had to live in the dormitory, so it was naturally impossible for them to leave her alone outside.

So, Aurora came up with a brilliant idea: take Alia to the Cathedral of St. Auros to become a nun.

After all, she was serving the Tree of Life. As long as she prayed in the Cathedral of Saint Auros, all the power of faith would belong to Aurora.

Alia had no objection. After she heard from Xingmo that this church actually served the "Tree of Life", she put on the nun's uniform without hesitation.

As for the process of persuading Saint Sister Lilitz...Aurora used a little divine trick.

"..."

On the altar under the dome, Lilitz and Alia chanted together.

"Lord, give us life and give us food." Lilitz said softly.

"Lord, give us life, give us food," Arya said along.

"Give us health and vitality." Lilitz's face was full of piety.

"Give us health and vitality." Alia's face was full of happiness.

"May your kingdom walk on the earth, may the starlight finally illuminate the earth..."

"..."

The two prayed devoutly to the gods. Afterwards, Lilitz looked down at the new nun with a gentle smile on her face.

"From today on, you will be a nun serving the goddess."

"Yes! I am a nun serving the goddess!" Alia nodded excitedly.

Xingmo told her that the "Tree of Life" is actually a goddess, and Alia became even more excited after hearing that.

Lilitz said to Alia earnestly:

"Our God is merciful and great, which requires us to be holy in our hearts when serving Him, to look upon believers with true compassion, and to guide them on the path."

"God is very kind to me. I will do my best." Alia nodded with a smile.

"Yes, He is indeed a gentle God." Lilitz smiled.

The interaction between the two is very heartwarming. The lost girl and the holy nun, one tall and one short, stand under the holy light of the church dome and praise God, forming a composition like an oil painting.

But the gods these two people praise are not even the same...

But seeing how happily they were communicating with each other, Xingmo felt a little amused.

The pranks at St. Auros Cathedral have intensified...

She glanced at Aurora beside her. The little white-haired girl was grinning mischievously, obviously very satisfied with the strange scene she had created.

If she's addicted, she might stuff more weird people into St. Auros Cathedral...

This place is really going to become a stronghold of the evil god from now on. Help!

"Okay, we should go back to the dormitory," Aurora pulled Xingmo's skirt, "Don't forget to go to class at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"You're quite obedient to the school rules..." Xingmo glanced at Aurora helplessly, "What other tricks do you have?"

Aurora smiled brightly.

"Of course, we'll keep collecting. We need to find a way to check out the 'Merlin's Superstring Array' you mentioned. As for the 'Angel's Tears' and the like, you've already got some clues from Alia."

Xingmo sighed:

"Actually, that can't really be called a clue, because there's a high probability that we can't do anything about that guy."

Before, when Alia said "that person is wearing a yellow robe", Xingmo immediately locked on the suspect.

Obviously, they are imperial people, and yellow robes are their characteristic feature.

Of course, it is unlikely that he is an Imperial from the "Black Wood" lineage, otherwise that guy would not have allowed Arya to be taken away alive.

In the entire underground dark side of the Citadel, apart from "Black Wood" in the North City, there is only one other person in a high position -

——The local tyrant of South City, Prince Austin, the "Blood Epiphyllum".

That prince was a member of the City Academy Council and a "Saint" of the fifth rank, with the authority to enter the "White Tower".

At the same time, he is the younger brother of the contemporary emperor of the Machiavelli Empire, the "Golden King" Ugaen Tukakankion.

Before the Steam Revolution, the prince had already reached a high position in the Citadel. His business was hit during the Steam Revolution, but has now recovered.

Xingmo's idea was simple: if that guy intentionally spread the "curse" in the North City, it meant that he was related to the "Steam Man".

Moreover, his main base was in the South City area, which coincided with Bishop Frye's final destination.

It doesn't seem like a coincidence.

It seems that this prince may not only be the key to Bishop Frye's disappearance, but may also be involved with the "Steam Man".

Even... the combination of the two identities of "Imperial" and "a high-ranking person who can enter the White Tower" gave rise to a possibility in Xingmo's mind.

Could it be that... he is one of the instigators of the "Destiny of the Evil God in Mortiheim" incident?

"..."

While thinking, Aurora pulled Xingmo out of the cathedral and headed towards the steam railway station.

The two walked through a street lined with shop window lights, turned into a quaint street, and walked forward under the light of classic gas lamps.

However, when the two passed by an alley, Xing Mo smelled a faint smell of blood:

"and many more."

Xing Mo wanted to stop Aurora, but found that Aurora had already stopped at the entrance of the alley, looking into the endless darkness in the alley.

"Interesting," Aurora chuckled, "It really isn't an urban legend."

Xingmo drew out her wand, and sparks of light appeared from her fingertips, lighting up the ground in the alley.

——Blood.

Thick blood, as black as ink, flowed out from the end of the alley.

The source of the blood was a pile of bloody fragments. Above those fragments, a tall bronze figure was outlined by the light of sparks, and steam was spewing out of complex bronze pipes.

That's Steam Man.

The moment Xing Mo's eyes met with the tall figure, his body trembled violently, as if even his soul felt the tremor.

She felt her chest swelling, as if flames were rising from her body.

No! It's not a feeling! It's real!

Xing Mo felt the power of the "curse" coming towards her. In a few more seconds, the black energy would tear her body apart and explode.

At this moment, Xingmo instinctively protected Aurora behind him:

"careful!"

She raised her wand, ready to play the "reverse chord" to counter the spell.

However, at this moment, a majestic voice sounded beside Xing Mo:

"Humble servant, how dare you think of usurping the power of God?"

The curse stopped spreading, and Xingmo turned around to see blood-red starlight flashing in Aurora's eyes.

There were crimson arcs of electricity wrapped around her body, like a god from the sky.

4) Haze in the North City (Part 10)

At the end of the alley, the Steam Man's movements seemed to slow down due to Aurora's appearance, as if it sensed a threat.

But the next second, golden flames burst out along with rising steam—

"boom--"

Just as the flames were about to touch Aurora, the girl simply snapped her fingers—

"Snapped."

In an instant, the flames gathered together, twisted and transformed, and finally turned into a group of crows made of flames.

Aurora used her authority to give the flame real "life".

The Fiery Crows roared and charged towards the Steam Man, hitting it—

"boom--"

The flames exploded, burning on the bronze armor, and Xingmo was able to see more of the monster's face—

——Its armor was badly damaged and covered with scratches, and the irregular pipes seemed to be arranged randomly, but every time it ejected steam, sparks would burst out around it.

No! That's not a steam pipe, it's some kind of alchemical string instrument array!

Using the whistling sound of steam to resonate with strings? What a crazy and unstable design...

"..."

The Steam Man didn't seem to be harmed by Aurora's attack. It still stood there, its body as tall as a mountain.

Seeing that the Steam Man dared to fight back, Aurora's face broke into a bright smile:

"Okay, okay, if you want to play, let's play."

Red arcs of electricity shot out from the ground, lifting Aurora's body into the air.

She raised her hand, and the vines quickly grew and weaved in her hand, finally forming a two-meter-long tree-shaped spear!

"Zizzi-"
