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

　There was no attack.

　Next, Alice quickly played the strings, stuck her wand into the ground, and released the Star Stream Vision.

　She barricaded the entire house to prevent anyone from escaping.

　Then Alice struck the fire chord, and a flame shot up above her shoulder, providing light for her.

　She didn't shout, but just explored the two-story house silently.

　""

　The structure of the house is very simple and plain. The lobby on the first floor is empty and there is not even any decent furniture. However, there is a pretty good bar counter.

　The owner of this place loved to drink, and Alice could almost imagine him sitting alone behind the bar in the dim light, drinking one drink after another.

　Going down the stairs to the second floor, Alice came to a corridor with three houses on one side.

　She walked to the first door, extended her wand, and kicked it open—

　——No one.

　There was nothing in the room, no furniture, no people, it was empty.

　There was a thin layer of dust on the ground, and it was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.

　Alice backed out and kicked open the second room, only to find it was exactly the same as the first.

　nobody.

　At the door of the third room was a small white carpet with a logo embroidered on it with gold thread.

　Alice took a closer look and found that it seemed to be... an angel's wings?

　There are three rooms on the second floor, but only one is used...

　This means that there is only one person in this house.

　The dust accumulated on the carpet showed that even the only owner rarely returned to this house.

　He has another identity in the Citadel.

　""

　Alice walked to the door, took a deep breath, and then broke it open.

　The moment she entered the room, she raised her wand and pointed it into the room—

　——Still no one.

　There was no one in the room, but there was a complete set of furniture: a bed, a desk, and a small table.

　Alice's eyes were immediately drawn to the small table - a small altar with a hexagram painted on it was placed on the table. There were candles on each corner of the hexagram, burning with faint blue flames.

　Through the symbols around the hexagram, Alice quickly deciphered the purpose of this magic circle.

　That is to thwart detection in the occult sense.

　This is a very ancient string magic array. Although simple, it is not weak at all. Therefore, after Alice was assassinated, the bell guardian did not succeed in finding this place.

　This descendant of the Frozen family possesses a strong sense of counter-reconnaissance...

　Alice walked over to the small altar and stared at the object in its center.

　That's a book.

　The cover of the book is pure black, without any fonts or logos. It is full of wrinkles and looks like it has seen some age.

　Before reading, Alice closed her eyes and silently prayed to the goddess.

　Generally speaking, some texts related to cults contain unclean knowledge, which may cause harm to the reader's spirit.

　Bell keepers often pray directly to the goddess before reading such books, and receive a response.

　""

　After finishing her prayer, Alice opened the book and her eyes fell on the title page.

　A line of beautiful handwriting appeared in her sight:

　"To the day and night that have vanished forever, and to all that I loved."

　Looking down, Alice saw the signature on this line.

　When Alice saw the name clearly, her heart skipped a beat:

　"Rose Frozen."

　"Mom, mom, it's so lively here!"

　In a corner of the banquet hall, Leah waved her little hands and looked curiously at the uncles and aunts who were dressed beautifully.

　"Everyone here tonight is an important person," Diana smiled and rubbed Leah's head, "Mom will take you to say hello later."

　“But I don’t want to say hello…”

　"It's etiquette, dear."

　"Come on, go ahead. My sister is really good at greeting people," Mia said. "I want to be as elegant and beautiful as her."

　"Hey, can I be like my sister..."

　"Of course, as long as Leah practices etiquette well, she will be able to..."

　""

　Beside the dining table, Rose silently watched the harmonious family with deep eyes.

　When no one was looking at her, she was like a stone statue, motionless.

　No one would have noticed her originally. After all, she was just a tailor for a noble family, and at most she was responsible for makeup in such occasions.

　She doesn't need to hide, she can disappear in plain sight.

　""

　"The Imperial Ambassador has arrived!"

　Accompanied by a loud shout with a Golden People accent, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open.

　The Imperial Master Scarab, wrapped in bronze armor, walked in under the escort of soldiers in yellow robes and strode through the banquet hall.

　For a moment, the noise in the banquet hall subsided a lot, and everyone looked at the messenger from the other side and his strangely shaped helmet.

　Whispers rose among the crowd, people whispering about the ambassador who had been on the ship for several months but finally swallowed his pride and asked for peace.

　"...you

　Say, is there body odor under his armor?"

　"...Who knows? The environment your Excellency the Ambassador has been in these past few months is far from elegant..."

　"...as if these barbarian capitals were somehow so elegant..."

　"...Oh, gentlemen, you shouldn't be so harsh to a friend who has come from afar, especially since we may become friends in the future..."

　""

　The scarab walked briskly through the whispers to the front of the banquet hall.

　Watching him approach step by step, Martin muttered:

　"Why haven't Isabella and Merlin arrived yet..."

　Bishop Roberts stared straight at the scarab mask, his eyes becoming increasingly profound.

　He gently stroked the beard on his chin, curling it slightly.

　"Sorry for the wait, ladies and gentlemen."

　The scarab stopped at the head table and scanned the people at the table one by one.

　"Fine wine and delicacies have been delivered. I hope they can add a touch of the elegance you all speak of to this evening."

　"That's quite good indeed, my friend, if you're any guide." Councilman Martin smiled faintly. "Are you looking for a seat here? Unfortunately, we don't have one reserved for you. I'm afraid you'll need to...find a table nearby."

　"No, I will not sit down, nor drink," said the Scarab. "I must say something when the great feast is about to begin."

　"Then please." Martin smiled.

　Scarab nodded, and then his eyes fell on Bishop Roberts:

　"Your Excellency the Pope, I have long heard of your great name, and today I finally see your true appearance."

　"It's the same for everyone," Bishop Roberts said softly. "It's not easy for anyone..."

　“Everyone carries thorns on their backs, and is repeatedly cut as they move forward,” the scarab said. “The deeper the wound, the more blood is drawn, and the longer the pain lasts.”

　"The stars have witnessed your pain," Roberts nodded. "I believe that putting an end to suffering should be our common goal."

　Scarab stared directly at Bishop Roberts, his brown eyes flickering behind his mask.

　"Oh, people always grow wiser with time. I am glad that I can witness this in a follower of the Goddess."

　"Hey, hey, stop using words like 'goddess believers'," Councillor Martin yelled. "You're standing on the goddess's land, so you should..."

　"I welcome everyone to this banquet," Scarab said, ignoring Councilor Martin and turning to face the hall. "I'm pleased to be here with you all under the same roof to discuss peace and how we can walk the path forward together."

　"Hey!" Councilman Martin frowned, "Didn't you hear me..."

　"Before we can discuss peace, we must discuss sin."

　Scarab changed the subject, his eyes sweeping across every corner of the hall:

　"We must first discuss...the sins you have committed."

Chapter 251 You Will Glimpse the Stars (Part 4) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

　"How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

　"No... it's okay for now..."

　Xingmo limped down the altar, and Aurora immediately supported her to prevent her from falling.

　"You said it yourself, those who try to act tough are fools," Aurora pinched Xingmo's cheek in a reproachful manner. "Do you want to take a break?"

　"No... I have a feeling... there's no time to rest..."

　Xing Mo took a deep breath and looked up at the skeleton of the divine bird not far away.

　After being promoted to a demigod, she felt her spiritual body boiling, as if endless spiritual power was rapidly pouring in and further increasing the power at her disposal.

　The biggest surprise during this upgrade... was the sudden awakening of the resonance of the Starlight Strings.

　Although every wizard can use string magic in various fields, under normal circumstances, each wizard will only have one resonating string.

　For example, if a wizard's resonating string is the fire string, then when he reaches the fourth string level, he can only use the fourth string level fire string magic, and the other strings can reach a maximum of three levels.

　Resonant strings are usually the strings that wizards cultivate throughout their lives. After all, they represent their upper limit, and no one likes to cultivate under a blocked ceiling.

　However, Xingmo has now awakened the third resonance string.

　The resonance of the three strings...is not normal at all, at least Xingmo doesn't know of any precedent.

　"It's Starlight..." Aurora muttered, "As expected, you're the Star Sea Goddess's little lackey."

　"If I were truly favored by God, then you'd be in luck," Xing Mo rubbed his aching forehead. "You're most likely to feel a sense of accomplishment from this kind of conquest..."

　"Of course," Aurora smiled brightly, "but the sense of accomplishment isn't in conquering the goddess's followers, it's in conquering you~"

　"You little rascal..."

　Xing Mo smiled bitterly, slowly stood up and looked at the skeleton of the divine bird in front of him.

　"It's time to go and see... the so-called truth about Genesis..."

　"Let's hold hands," Aurora squeezed Xingmo's hand, "Come, let me help you share some of the burden."

　"I'm already a demigod, huh?"

　"You're a new demigod. Your spirit hasn't adapted yet, so take it easy."

　"Okay, it's up to you."

　Xingmo then took Aurora's hand and walked to the
