Xingmo didn't know whether the Goddess of Xinghai really cared about her church being spotless, but the Tree of Life probably really didn't care.
Although Aurora usually likes to make jokes about mortals, likes to say "you mortals", and occasionally makes a slightly disgusted expression.
But at a time like this, she didn't mind giving the church floor to the displaced people.
She walked through it.
""
Xingmo pinched the Angel's Tear on her chest and felt a warmth echoing in her heart.
What does faith really mean? Is it the firm belief that after death one will go to the Kingdom of God and live forever in peace and contentment under God's throne?
Is it to wrap yourself in God's teachings and live a fulfilling life within rules and regulations?
What people ultimately desire is a sense of belonging.
Watching Aurora's figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Xingmo felt at home again.
Her hormones were flowing, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart, causing her mouth to open slightly.
The taste is light on the tongue, but it feels like peach fructose has melted.
"strangeness..."
Xingmo rubbed her neck gently, pressed her chest, and took a deep breath.
After becoming a demigod, this kind of subtle emotion is really... the first time...
Forget it, I'll just hug her like a pillow all night long.
It’s nothing.
""
Five minutes later, Xingmo found everyone from the North City Police Station in a small room on the side of the church.
With the help of the young nuns, most of the facilities in the police station were moved to the church. Sheriff Laura Williams was in the center of the room directing the police officers to move things to the correct place, and she was holding a box full of documents in her hands.
I feel like... well... it suddenly became the North City Branch.
Hearing the footsteps, Laura turned around and nodded to Xing Mo who was walking towards her:
"Miss Saint, on behalf of the North City Police Department, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. Seeing so many residents still alive is an encouragement to all of us."
"You're welcome. If you want to thank someone, thank the great Tree of Life," Xingmo said calmly. "Have you connected with Chloe August?"
"Yes, we just received news from her," Laura said, placing the file box on the table. "She said she was happy to know there were still people alive in the Citadel, and she hoped to meet us at dawn in two days in Whispering Wind in Academi."
"Academi Territory... well, it's still safe for now." Xingmo nodded.
"She said she could arrange accommodation for refugees, but the details would have to wait until we meet to discuss them in person," Laura's eyes narrowed as she spoke. "My advice is to be cautious."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"Because this might be a trap set by the Empire, a trap to wipe out the remaining forces in the Citadel," Laura's face grew more serious. "The Faroese are currently at war, and I don't think they have much spare capacity to accommodate the refugees."
That's true... Even if we want to meet, we should do it step by step. At least I have to take the lead first.
Xing Mo thought so and nodded:
"I understand. I'll take care of it."
After saying that, she turned and left.
At this moment, Laura called her:
"By the way, Miss Saint, there is one more thing."
"What's the matter?" Xing Mo turned around.
"You don't look well. If you're too tired, take a good rest. The North City Police Department will soon take over some of the church's affairs and will definitely not be idle."
Laura walked up to Xingmo and looked down at her. For the first time, Xingmo saw a hint of concern in the eyes of this stern sheriff:
"Although you are very powerful, you are still just a girl from the outside. As a girl, you have already taken on too many responsibilities. Sometimes... it is not a sin to have a good rest."
After saying that, Laura smiled at Xingmo, then turned around and continued to direct the construction of the police station office.
""
Xingmo walked out of the church alone, raised her head in the Holy Tree Square, and looked at the dim skylight outside the barrier.
Girl?
Well, there will be opportunities to take a break later.
Xing Mo pursed her lips slightly, then closed her eyes and stretched.
Then she opened her arms and embraced the white city torn by war.
...END...
Chapter 268 StarSummoner-4k- (Two Updates in One)
Sky Garden.
At the colonnade at the entrance to the top of the garden, the Golden King Ugaon looked down at the academy below with a solemn expression.
The pale blue moonlight shone quietly on his face, but could not drown out the gold in his eyes.
He just stood by the colonnade, feeling the night breeze, as if waiting for someone.
After a long time, a crack appeared on his side and a white jade hand stretched out.
"The great mad god." Ugaen nodded.
"How long will it take for the White Tower to open?" Cain's ethereal voice came out.
"The heart of God is beating, and the power of the curse is gradually filling the skeleton of the garden, but..."
Ugaen's eyes flashed and looked towards the northwest.
There, the castle of Nefera Beta Magic Academy stood.
"Merlin's superstring array is curbing the gathering of the curse power," he said. "Without his interference, it would take three days. If he continues to interfere, it would take half a month."
"Half a month is just the right amount of time," Cain said.
"Trust your judgment," Ugaen nodded, "I've seen that black-haired girl. She controls destiny."
"I didn't see her in the garden. I killed all the white doves," Cain said in an ethereal and calm voice. "So, the origin of the golden full moon is not ordinary."
"Could it be the interference of the Star Sea Goddess?" asked Ugaen.
"He can't interfere," Cain chuckled. "He can't save himself."
As he said this, the jade-like hand lightly snapped its fingers, and golden stars outlined a piece of paper in the air, which fell into the emperor's hand.
"The list of Star Callers is ready. Prepare them in advance. When the White Tower opens, the symphony of the Shepherd's Star Strings will resound throughout the starry sky."
Ugaen flipped open the list, glanced over it, and frowned for a moment.
"What an unexpected list," he said.
"Destiny is always unexpected," Cain said, "but it is accurate."
After saying this, the white jade hand retracted into the crack, and the night wind suddenly blew into the inside of the colonnade, blowing the emperor's robe.
Ugaan looked into the distance, gazing at the outline of the castle.
Even a mad god would have his own selfish desires?
Are newborn crows showing mercy?
Or, did she long for the principal's testimony?
Ugaen gently turned his wrist, and golden quicksand poured down, forming sand-like creatures on the ground.
"Keep your eye on Merlin," he whispered.
"Starcaller?"
In the drainage system of East City District, Lucius followed Black Wood on the moss-covered road.
Heimuto was wearing a black robe and holding a torch in her hand. The dim light outlined the oriental-style symbols on the robe, making her look like the missionary sent by Yan Xialai.
"That's right. That night, the Golden King invited me for a drink in his Scarab form," Blackwood said, waving his hand to clear the spider webs. "His request was that the Black Dragon Society select a replacement Star Caller."
Lucius did not respond, but just followed Heimu silently, waiting for his explanation.
Heimu chuckled and said:
"Starcaller, sounds like an interesting term, right? Actually, it's just the fuel for summoning the Shepherd's String."
"You should know that the three strings of fate, truth, and life can form a symphony when played, thus summoning the string of the shepherd star under certain circumstances."
"This particular environment is the goddess's sacred place, the White Tower."
"In fact, in even more ancient times, the White Pagoda was also known as the Star-Plucking Pagoda. It was the place where ancient kings plucked the stars. As the stars shifted, the real starry sky shone through the curtain onto the top of the White Pagoda, allowing those who prayed to see through the veil of the heavens."
"Starcaller is a term passed down from that time, referring to the person who rings the bell and opens the sky. But now, the Court of Redemption simply longs for someone to bear the cost of opening the sky for them."
"What is the Shepherd's String?" asked Lucius.
"Oh, be careful," Heimu turned around and smiled at Lucius, "You just asked for a forbidden piece of knowledge."
Lucius therefore did not ask any further questions, but quietly followed Heimu in the underground passage.
They passed through the filthy sewers and soon came to
Deep into the drainage system.
Gradually, the walls on both sides of the drain were filled with graffiti full of Yanxia elements: dragons, black clouds, embroidery, and imperial palaces.
"After the Garden's arrival, I refused to hand over the Star Caller to the Emperor, which is why I was watched by those lackeys for several days..."
Looking at Lucius who was looking at the graffiti, Heimu chuckled:
"To thank you for helping me escape from the surveillance of those Imperial lackeys, I will certainly fulfill your little wish."
"You want me to become a Starcaller?" Lucius said.
"Isn't that perfect? From what I know, Isabella Decep is a member of the Star Callers. You'll have plenty of time to get behind her and tear her body apart with a knife." Heimu's mouth curled up. "Of course, considering her current golden body is very tough, you may need some... special methods."
After saying that, Heimu clapped his hands, and faces emerged from the shadows.
Lucius clenched the Gear Heart in his hand, alert. He saw people in black robes walking out of the darkness, wearing green and fanged masks on their faces, and their eyes behind the masks flashing bloodshot.
"Welcome to the Black Dragon Society, Lucius Phillips. We are the descendants of the Forsaken, serving the great Dragon Lord."
Dark Wood turned around and spread his arms towards Lucius.
"How about it? Want to abandon... dig a hole in the goddess' heart?"
Lucius's gaze swept over the people in the darkness, his lake-blue eyes as quiet as the pool of water deep in the earth's crust.
After a long time, he said:
"I'll join."
"There are still four rounds left. Hey, they are very valuable."
Aurora, wearing a nightgown, put the four silver bullets back into the small bag. Her fair and slender legs were stretched straight on the bed, and her two little feet were crossed.
"Angel bullets are always effective. One shot blew off the Moon Dust's skull. This is the first time we've ever opened an angel's skull."
"It's so bloody, little ancestor," Xing Mo came out of the bathroom, wiping her hair with a towel and walking to the bed, "Move."
She reached out, grabbed Aurora's ankle, moved her feet away, and sat down on the bed herself.
Then, Aurora's two little feet stretched out again, resting on her legs, and her toes wiggled back and forth.
"Hey," Xingmo turned around and looked helplessly at the smiling Aurora, "What are you doing?"
"Wipe your hair~"
"Humph..."
Xingmo took her eyes off Aurora's feet and lightly tapped the air with her wand, creating a small fireball to speed up the drying of her hair.
"That guy named Yuechen is so lucky." Xingmo changed the subject.
"Unlike the little saint's legs, which are so soft." Aurora's little feet moved on Xingmo's thighs.
Hey!
Xingmo puffed out her cheeks, grabbed Aurora's squirming little feet, and squeezed them hard.
