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

Golden blood gushed out, and the dragon's entire back was cut open. It roared in pain a few times, then fell on the table and became motionless.

The last one standing on the battlefield was Aurora's female knight.

She bowed to Aurora, then stood there, motionless.

For a few seconds, no one at the table spoke.

The champion picked up a cigarette tremblingly and tried to light it with his magic wand, but failed to burn the cigarette butt several times.

On his fifth attempt, he finally burned his fingers. He smashed his wand and stood up, roaring:

"This is an evil magic! She's cheating! This can't possibly happen!"

A knight killed three dragons alone, which was just like the Faroese conquering Machiavelli's capital, Gallo, overnight.

Impossible, impossible at all.

The waiter next to him was obviously panicked. As far as he knew, this kind of thing had never happened before.

After all, the knight's movements didn't resemble those of a Golden Totem at all: a small totem forged from Living Gold could only perform simple movements at best, so how could it possibly flip and leap in the air?

But after checking for a long time, he did not find any traces of string music in the surrounding space, not to mention that the little girl had not even taken out her wand.

Unless this little girl is some mythical creature or god, there is no way she wouldn't have left no traces!

The probability that this little girl is not human is even smaller than the probability that a female knight can kill a dragon alone.

So the waiter cleared his throat and said in an orderly manner:

"Sir, the probability of a knight killing three dragons at once is indeed very low, but it is not impossible."

"Sunflower Hot Springs only cares about the results. No matter how absurd the process may be, please accept it."

The player's eyes suddenly became dull. He glanced at Aurora, who simply waved her hand.

“The key to the game is leadership.”

"I don't accept it!" the champion roared, "Come again! Come again! I don't believe I can't beat you tonight!"

As Aurora got the championship chip allocation, Xingmo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's enough to buy a golden ticket...

Xing Mo was thinking this and was about to pull Aurora away, but the little girl had already pushed all her chips out again:

"We're all in! Bring us our troops!"

"Hey!" Xingmo whispered anxiously, "Stop it! This is enough to achieve the goal!"

"Don't make a fuss, dear," Aurora rubbed Xingmo's head perfunctorily, "I'm a little hungry. Go buy me some sweet iced tea and some meat. Go quickly, we'll leave when you come back."

"I'm betting too!" the ring master roared, throwing a large number of chips. "Little girl, I want to show you the power of an army!"

"..."

Looking at Aurora's indifferent expression, Xingmo wanted to say something, but the mark on her hand began to sting.

She knew that if she didn't go buy food for this guy, she would be forced to buy it.

So, Xingmo sighed and left the gaming field to look for food.

5) Gold (Part 10)

By the time Xingmo returned to the gaming arena with two cups of sweet iced tea she had bought at the hot spring night market, everything had already changed.

A large crowd of spectators gathered around Aurora's table, making it impossible to get through. Roars could be heard from inside from time to time.

What happened? A fight?

Xing Mo hurried forward, pushed through the crowd, and kept saying words like "excuse me" and "sorry".

However, when Xing Mo squeezed to the edge of the gaming table, he only saw a golden light tearing through the sky.

"bass--"

It was a female knight riding a flying dragon! She was fighting with more than ten flying dragons in the air. Every time a golden light flashed, a dragon fell from the sky.

Aurora sat at the table with a calm expression, her arms folded across her chest.

As for the other three, most of them were hysterical and had hideous looks on their faces.

Xing Mo immediately saw the current situation on the field: three people decided to encircle Aurora, but they were easily defeated by one against three.

The female knight under Aurora's command cut through the battlefield as if assisted by a god, causing the thousands of troops in front of her to break apart.

This guy... must have given the female knight "life"... that's why she's so powerful...

Xingmo watched silently as Aurora won the battle again and put a pile of chips into a basket beside her.

She turned around and saw Xing Mo watching, and waved:

“Sweet iced tea!”

Xingmo handed over the sweet iced tea. Aurora took a sip and stuck out her tongue.

"So sweet, wow..."

Then she stood up and waved to the three people at the table:

"That's all for tonight. Any more would be rude. You all need more practice."

"Wait a minute!" The previous champion's eyes were bloodshot. "You... No, you... Your name is..."

"My name is Xingyu," Aurora said, her hands on her hips. "Remember my name! Next time Xingyu comes, you'd better run away!"

All the onlookers chewed on this name over and over again: The star rain is coming... we must escape quickly...

The champion stood up tremblingly and said to Aurora:

"I lost... Miss Xingyu..."

"Yeah." Aurora smiled and nodded.

"I have a small request...I wonder if you could..."

"Come on, come on, hurry up, we're going on a date with our sister." Aurora said, and domineeringly pulled Xingmo's hand and held it.

The champion swallowed his saliva and pointed at the female knight on the table:

"I wonder if I can buy this knight statue for my collection?"

He didn't even ask the waiter, but asked Aurora directly, as if this was not public property of the casino.

Aurora was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"How much are you willing to pay?"

"This isn't going to be easy to sell..." Xingmo leaned over and whispered in Aurora's ear, "This is from the gaming arena..."

The next second, the champion said a number, and the air around him fell into dead silence.

The moment Xingmo heard that number, her pupils trembled and her mouth opened:

"ah...?"

......

"I told you, we can do it~"

On the street behind the hot spring baths, Aurora was holding Xingmo's hand and was in a good mood.

This street is for people who have finished soaking in the hot springs to consume. They sell things like small magic gifts, commemorative statues, and some Sunflower Baths-themed "Golden Totem" sets.

Of course, the most important thing is the food: the lingering aroma of meat has been lingering in the air since Xingmo entered the street, stimulating her stomach that had not eaten dinner.

At this time, Xing Mo had two "golden tickets" in his pocket, which was the highest level of passenger status in the entire Sunflower Hot Spring Bath. He could enjoy the "Duke Suite" that night and receive meticulous service.

Of course, if Xingmo asked to "visit the hot spring boiler room", it would be satisfied.

But before that, let’s have dinner even though it’s almost early in the morning.

Looking at the little guy walking forward holding her hand, Xingmo smiled and shook her head:

"Ms. Evil God, can you tell me why you sold the female knight statue?"

"Because that guy offered a high price," Aurora said nonchalantly. "You heard the number. With this money, plus what we won tonight... I'm afraid we could build another small church in the suburbs of Academi."

Indeed... The money Aurora earned tonight was basically equivalent to several years' income for a middle-class person in the Citadel. If she had a little more, she could indeed build a small church.

"But the female knight looked at you with such pitiful eyes at the end," Xing Mo said.

"Servants are supposed to sacrifice themselves for their lords," Aurora said calmly.

"Then will you sell me? Am I not your servant too?" Xing Mo asked.

Aurora seemed stunned for a moment, shaking her head a few times, then turned back.

Under the gas lights of the night market, the surface of her bloodshot eyes was coated with a layer of warm yellow light:

"I'm reluctant to sell you."

"why?"

“You can cook, and it’s delicious.”

Can't you come up with a more touching reason...

Xingmo laughed in silence, then took Aurora to stop in front of a barbecue stall.

The Imperials brought the desert barbecue habit to the Academic City. Unlike the Baita District or Xicheng District, which rely on gas stoves for cooking, the Imperials' cooking tables are closer to nature - stone.

They covered the platform with large pebbles, lit wood underneath to heat the stones, and then rubbed the surface of the stones repeatedly with sheep intestines strung on poles, leaving fresh grease on the surface of the pebbles.

Next, the chef spread the pieces of meat on the cobblestones: lamb chops, pork belly, lamb legs, and lamb kidneys.

With the sound of boiling "sizzle", the chef picked up a little coarse salt and sprinkled it on the steak. From then on, he no longer added any seasoning and let the hot pebbles roast the steak.

When the meat was cooked, the chef picked it up with tongs, placed it on a plate with a few pieces of flat bread, and handed it to Xingmo.

Xingmo took Aurora to find a seat nearby. Amid the hustle and bustle of the night market, the two drank sweet iced tea while wrapping the steak in bread, dipped it in honey, and swallowed it.

"Gu...The meat of the Imperials is so delicious..." Aurora mumbled.

"Why do you always say weird things..." Xing Mo smiled and started to enjoy it.

The gravy overflows in your mouth, and the fat is absorbed by the bread, making the meat neither greasy nor dry. After being seasoned with honey, it has a sweet and juicy taste.

After eating half her fill, Xingmo drank the remaining sweet iced tea and asked Aurora, who was still enjoying her meal:

"By the way, my dear, you still have quite a lot of money left, don't you have any plans?"

"Plan?" Aurora swallowed the meat in her mouth. "Hmm... I haven't thought about it yet... How about using it to pay salaries?"

"Pay wages?" Xing Mo frowned. "What wages?"

"Of course, it's to hire and organize our cult's armed forces, and then pay them salaries!"

Aurora became excited as she spoke:

"Armed nuns...Armed priests...Armed saints...Armed dragons...Hmm...Just playing with totems on the table isn't enough. We want a real army!"

Xingmo: (?Д?≡?д?)!?

Broken... and got her the start-up capital...

......

5) Gold (Part 11)

After leaving the night market, Xingmo took Aurora straight to the marble hall of the Sunflower Hot Springs.

There, the yellow-robed waiter had been waiting for a long time:

"Distinguished Golden Ticket holders, Miss Xingsheng and Miss Xingyu," the waiter said with a slight bow, "your achievements in the Golden Game are truly impressive."

"Yeah." Aurora nodded perfunctorily.

"Although we will do our best to meet all the requirements of gold ticket holders, I still need to ask before I leave."

The waiter glanced at the two of them:

"Why are you two interested in the hot spring boiler room?"

"Because I took the course 'Principles of Steam Alchemy Machines' at the academy," Xing Mo answered without hesitation, "so I wanted to take a closer look and see how ingenious the steam alchemy machine is that can power all these hot springs at the same time."
