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

　"Are you really asleep?"

　"Hmm~" Aurora murmured softly, "Falling asleep."

　"Then go to sleep."

　Xingmo rubbed Aurora's head and then looked across the table.

　Alya and Bianca were reading together. Ever since Alya came back from the bank, Bianca had been pestering her and rubbing her injured areas.

　Although those injuries have been healed.

　""

　Looking at the two little guys getting along harmoniously, Xingmo turned to look at Isis and Luffy who were sitting at the other end of the table.

　The two were having a pleasant conversation, and the main topic of discussion was about the Treasury.

　After hearing that Isis had blown the Crystal Treasury down a deep well, Mr. Luffy immediately became interested and started chatting with the architect who was once a puppet.

　"Miss Jiedeti," Isis noticed Xingmo's gaze and turned to smile, "Have the two elf friends left?"

　"Yes, they are going back to the tribe." Xingmo nodded.

　"It's amazing..." Luffy murmured, "I didn't expect to see the elf royal family. I really can see everything after living long enough."

　"She is very interesting, Princess Freya." Isis nodded.

　"uh-huh."

　Xingmo smiled and immediately got to the point:

　"Any news from the Sky Garden?"

　"I've been paying attention, but there's been no news about you so far," Isis said. "It seems the Supreme Praiser hasn't told the garden."

　Upon hearing the news, Xingmo frowned slightly.

　In the underground vault, Xingmo was recognized by the Supreme Praiser, and his identity as "Xingmo" was directly recognized.

　Until now, twelve hours have passed since the robbery, and no order has been received from the garden to "hunt down the bell guardian Xingmo."

　Garden officials seemed to blame the incident on "goddess pollution" and "pale angel pollution" and claimed that the incident had been suppressed.

　In fact, Xingmo would feel more at ease if the garden officials announced the "hunt for the bell guardian."

　Anyway, she has already obtained the key to the Sunrise Land, so she doesn't need to stay in Singara anymore.

　The problem is, the Supreme Praiser did not reveal the existence of Star Foam to the Garden.

　That's what's disturbing.

　Combined with the incident in Winter County, when Cain pulled Xingmo's soul away to talk to her in the Temple of St. Nero, it was obvious that he already knew where Xingmo was in advance.

　The Court of Redemption always seems to be one step ahead.

　"We have to prepare to leave the city," Xing Mo sighed, "I don't know how far the road in the desert is."

　"Be careful not to be swallowed by the yellow sand," Mr. Luffy said earnestly. "The depths of the Erlu Desert are not a place to travel freely. It's sparsely populated. If you go there, please be sure to bring enough rations."

　"Don't worry, there's a very powerful little guy around."

　Xing Mo smiled, then as if she had thought of something, she took out a roll of parchment from her pocket:

　"By the way, Mr. Luffy, this is the key to the Sunrise Land. It's also written in the Song of Sand, and they seem to be related in some way."

　"Aurora has roughly tested the functions of some of the words and marked them next to them. This should help with deciphering them."

　Mr. Luffy carefully took the parchment handed to him by Xingmo, glanced at it quickly, and then nodded:

　"Oh, this is truly remarkable information. I believe that before you return, I will be able to decipher the meaning of those songs spread by the Golden King."

　"Thank you for your hard work." Xing Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

　"It's okay. I should be thanking you for allowing me to gain more knowledge."

　After chatting for a few more words, Mr. Luffy stood up and said with a smile:

　"Okay, it's getting late, I should go back."

　"Let me take you there." Isis also stood up.

　"No, no, we're just taking a car."

　“This is what the younger generation should do.”

　So, Isis and Mr. Luffy walked towards the door together.

　Seeing this, Xingmo stood up and walked behind Alia and Bianca.

　The two little guys are chatting animatedly

　He was looking at me, totally unaware of the person behind him.

　Xingmo put both hands on their shoulders at the same time, startling them—

　"Ah! Miss Saint!"

　"It's time to go home," Xingmo smiled, "We're leaving soon, and you should go back too."

　"Hey, I was thinking I could help more." Alia seemed a little disappointed.

　"We'll be back to the Citadel soon," Xingmo rubbed Alia's head. "You fought against the Empire's soldiers in the Treasury. If a witch interrogated their souls, they might target you."

　"Ah..." Alia was a little surprised.

　"Take Bianca back, for her safety and yours."

　Xingmo rubbed the heads of the two elves and smiled gently:

　"I'll cook for you when I get home, dear."

　The two little guys looked at each other, and then smiled brightly at Xing Mo:

　"it is good!"

　At this moment, Aurora's voice came from the side:

　"Come, let's send you away first."

　Xing Mo turned around and saw Aurora walking slowly towards her, looking listless and dazed.

　It seems that this little guy is really full.

　After all, she devoured three turkeys by herself.

　"Okay! Thank you for troubling the Prophet."

　Alya said as she and Bianca went to the other end of the hall and retrieved the luggage that had been packed and sent to the castle earlier.

　Aurora raised a finger and spun it. Shadows folded and twisted rapidly, and the two figures disappeared into the hall.

　"Okay, the kids are gone," Aurora sighed. "All alone, all alone~"

　She looked like a hostess after a party, facing the empty hall alone, looking a little lost.

　Xingmo smiled, then stepped forward and picked Aurora up.

　"Okay, I'll go to bed."

　"Will you sleep with me?" Aurora tilted her head dazedly.

　"Aren't you lonely? I thought you didn't need me to take care of you tonight."

　"Oh...we were just kidding..."

　Aurora wrapped her arms around Xingmo's neck, rested her head on her chest, and let her hold her.

　Xingmo carried Aurora upstairs, into the guest room, and laid her on the bed.

　The little guy always wears pajamas when eating, so he doesn't have to take off his clothes now.

　Xingmo also quickly changed into pajamas, then went to bed and covered herself with the quilt.

　It was not until the moment she was covered by the warm quilt that Xingmo completely relaxed.

　The bank robbery is really over...

　Xing Mo belatedly felt a sense of relief spreading across her heart, and all the muscles in her body suddenly relaxed.

　Very comfortable...

　Come to think of it, this must be the first time I've done something so unconventional...breaking into a bank, opening the most difficult vault in the world, and stealing the secrets hidden by the Golden King inside.

　Should I say it's a great sense of accomplishment?

　I turned into a bad boy without realizing it...Xingmo smiled self-deprecatingly.

　At this time, a little guy crawled into her arms. Xingmo looked down and saw Aurora rubbing against her repeatedly, looking confused.

　Well, if you hang out with the little evil god, what else can you become except a bad kid?

　Xingmo rubbed Aurora's head and completely relaxed herself.

　She closed her eyes, hugged Aurora, and fell asleep.

　Holy Spirit Church - Academy City Academi

　Alice walked through the rain and entered the main entrance of the church.

　She ignored the nuns' greetings and walked to the bulletin board at the end of the church, standing behind Bishop Roberts Thane.

　"Bishop," Alice called softly.

　Roberts did not rush back. He used his magic wand to light the candles in front of the statue one by one. The misty incense lingered around him, making his old and thin face shrouded in a faint sacred aura.

　After lighting the candles, the archbishop clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and murmured something.

　"May your starlight forever protect the earth, until all things return to harmony..."

　After finishing his prayer, Roberts opened his eyes and turned to look at Alice:

　"Alice, you're worried."

　"Dawn's missing," Alice took a deep breath, "The Frozen family case."

　Hearing this news, Roberts closed his eyes and nodded silently:

　"what..."

　Not long ago, Alice was grounded due to an angel-level assassination, and her junior Dawn took over the case.

　Alice's final instructions were: Search the entire city for any traces of the Angel-class and find their source.

　However, when Alice's house arrest ended, she received the sad news that Dawn was missing.

　"He was last seen walking out of Maple Leaf Palace," Alice said. "Bishop, at this point, shouldn't the Decep family be restrained? Isabella is colluding with a descendant of the Frozen family, and that descendant is suspected to have connections to an angel-level entity that invaded the Citadel. I was assassinated, Dawn disappeared, and Isabella continues to trade with caravans directly under the Scarab, even expanding the seaside factory to produce those living golden monsters that are said to have independent consciousness."

　"If the Imperials actually land on our beaches, what will we do? Let them collude with the Imperials and work together from within?"

　Roberts listened to Alice calmly, then

　Then he spoke softly:

　"The Imperials have asked for peace."

　"Huh?" Alice was stunned.

　She stared blankly at Roberts's calm face for several seconds before speaking again:

　"You...what did you say?"

　"The Scarab arrived at the harbor yesterday and met personally with the members of the White Tower Council," Roberts said flatly. "Then, he submitted a peace agreement, stating that he would cease the activities that had been taking place within the Citadel. The Imperial Navy would no longer threaten the Citadel's coastal defenses. He even handed Prince Austin over to us to be defined by the Citadel's laws. His only request was that he not be executed; imprisonment for a hundred years would be no problem."

　Roberts said, looking up at the dome decorated with stained glass:

　"Come to think of it. The Ocean Archon is dead, and most of the Golden Fleet was destroyed in the eye of the storm. The guerrillas in Falu have recently mastered the method of countering the curse and are continuously pushing the front line back."

　"What strength do the Imperials have left to conquer the Citadel?"

Chapter 243: The Blasphemers (Part 2) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

　After listening to Bishop Roberts' story, Alice was stunned for a long time.

　Ah... Are the Imperials going to surrender before the war even begins?

　That's right. Xiaomo has done so many great things in New Garo. The power of the imperial people has been suppressed to that extent. How could they possibly have the ability to conquer the academy?

　Am I really being paranoid? Did Isabella Ducep really just want to use the Living Golden Guards to bolster the Citadel's defenses? Was her dealings with the Imperial merchants just a coincidence?
