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

　"Hey, I'm warning you, don't touch her."

　"I can cure her."

　Xingmo leaned down and put her face in front of the girl who was covering her eyes.

　"Miss, may I know your name?"

　"Well..."

　The demi-human girl obviously realized who was coming. She was a little frightened, but she also felt a little hopeful when she heard that she could be cured:

　"My...my name is Cherry."

　"Cute name," Xingmo chuckled, "Now, take a deep breath."

　Then, Xingmo stretched out his hand, and green light patterns gradually appeared on the back of his hand.

　The mark of the Tree of Life emitted a faint halo, enveloping the demihuman girl named Cherry.

　Cherry felt her eyes suddenly become hot. She felt her shattered lens being pieced together bit by bit, and the originally dark vision was gradually filled with green light.

　"Ha..." Cherry took a deep breath.

　"Hey, what are you doing!" Nepenses was a little anxious, "You..."

　The next second, his mouth opened wide, and the words got stuck in his throat.

　Because he saw Cherry open her eyes.

　The sapphire eyes are as bright as two gemstones, and the eye sockets are full of new

　Tears of life.

　The moment she saw Nepenses, her cherry lips pursed slightly and she whimpered.

　Then she rose from her throne and threw herself into Nephilim's arms:

　"Ooooooh, General, it's so dark... just so dark."

　"It's black, so what? Why are you so timid? It's not like I can't cure you..."

　Nepientes said it harshly, but he patted Cherry's back gently.

　Well, Beauty and the Beast? Even the beauty has cat ears.

　Xingmo smiled lightly and took two steps back without disturbing the two of them.

　In the back, Chloe stared blankly at the mysterious scene before her and gently wiped her eyes.

　"It's so mysterious...Is it cured just like that?"

　She turned to look at Aurora beside her, lowered her head, and asked softly:

　"Miss Assistant, how did Dr. Jie Deti cure the patient? This doesn't seem like medical skills."

　Aurora turned her head and looked at Chloe's confused expression, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

　"Friend, do you believe in religion? If you do, I will teach you," she said.

　Chloe: ?

　Forget it, I always feel that there are some things I shouldn't ask, and asking again will involve some not-so-good aspects...

　On the other side, Nepense finally calmed the little cat girl down and helped her sit down on the throne.

　He turned to Xingmo and pointed to the compartment beside him:

　"Let's go over there and talk."

　Xing Mo nodded, then signaled Chloe and others behind him not to panic, and then followed Nepenses into the compartment.

　After the door curtain was drawn, Nepientis immediately put his head close to Xingmo, his eyes flashing with a fierce light:

　"City dweller, what kind of evil magic did you cast on her? I warn you, if she shows any signs of trouble, I will tear your flesh off even if it means risking my life..."

　Wow, so fierce... Xingmo stuck out her tongue and said:

　"I am the Holy Maiden of the Tree of Life, and I healed the girl with the gift of my Lord."

　"The Tree of Life?" Nepientis frowned. "Isn't it the Invisible Mist?"

　"You seem to have some complaints about the god in the fog." Xing Mo keenly noticed the key point.

　Well... the main area of ​​activity of the Cult of the Red Moon is the forest area on the edge of Messina, and Nepenses is a Messina Ranger.

　Perhaps he misunderstood the power of the realm of life as the authority of the invisible mist?

　"That's the evil god. His lackeys are lurking in the dense forest, sensing the so-called truth and salvation they speak of." Nepientis's face twisted. "Well, that green light doesn't seem like his power. I misunderstood you."

　The general was straightforward and stopped questioning without beating around the bush, acting in a negotiating mood.

　Xing Mo nodded slightly and said:

　"First of all, I represent the Citadel of Academi, but not the Citadel of the White Tower Council, but the Citadel of the Holy Tree Cult."

　The first sentence sets the tone and demonstrates strength.

　As expected, Nepense was a little surprised when he heard this.

　"Although I've never heard of your gods, it sounds like your church is planning a rebellion?"

　"The White Tower Council is incompetent, and most of its members have died in the disaster brought by the Empire," Xingmo's voice commanded, "Therefore, according to my Lord's order, we..."

　"Stop being polite and just tell me if you are going to rebel?" Nepenses said impatiently.

　“...Uh...Yeah.” Xingmo nodded hesitantly.

　Unexpectedly, Nepenses suddenly burst into laughter, patted his chest, and said loudly:

　"Alright, if you had told us earlier that you wanted to rebel against the Citadel, why would we fight? We're all (Messina's vulgar language) brothers, let's rebel together!"

　Xing Mo: ???

　No, you must have misunderstood something. Who wants to rebel with you?

　Seeing Xingmo's trembling pupils, Nepsis quickly waved his hands and said:

　"Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to betray the Academy, it's time for a change of leadership."

　"Is this the decision of the top leaders of the Messina Kingdom?" Xing Mo narrowed her eyes slightly.

　"Indeed, the great Emerald Seventeenth has delivered the imperial decree of conquest," Nepenses said without reservation. "The White Tower Council needs a shakeup, and we are here to find an opportunity."

　Emerald Seventeen is the king of the Kingdom of Messina. The Emerald Family he represents is the human race that took over power after the fall of the Dark Elf King and has continued to this day.

　"Tell me the reason." Xingmo said.

　"Because those lunatics in the White Tower Council are sucking our blood. I'm a warrior, I don't understand much," Nepientis said coldly, "but I've seen too many workers displaced, my fellow demihumans losing their homes, and the carcasses of mermen floating in the whale oil-polluted sea. That's enough for me to go to war on His Majesty's behalf."

　So that's what happened... It's the result of those old guys in the White Tower Council abusing their power for personal gain this year...

　Congressman Martin must have contributed a lot. It seems that he really reaped what he sowed.

　"So, the order you received was not to invade, but... to revitalize the academy?" Xing Mo asked.

　"That's right." Nepientis nodded.

　So what's the difference?

　Xing Mo looked at the Bull Demon in front of her somewhat helplessly. To be honest, she guessed that this guy was also deceived by that Emerald Dozen.

　Just like invaders don't say they are going to invade before they start a war.

　, but instead bring up a certain god and say something like "By the will of God, purify the filth!"

　In short, it is to make the invader think that what he is doing is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

　Hmm...But, if that's the case, it seems like we can cooperate.

　Xing Mo nodded and immediately said:

　"The Holy Tree Church will take over the Academy City after this disaster. We can cooperate."

　"We can talk, we can talk. You are very capable, little girl. I guess those old guys in the academy are not as good as you in talking." Nepense patted his chest.

　"General, you're quite straightforward," Xing Mo said with a faint smile, "Then... let's have a good chat."

　""

　After recognizing Xingmo's power, Nepenses suddenly became very easy to talk to.

　Well, the demihumans’ worship of pure power can only be said to be beyond Xingmo’s imagination.

　In short, the two quickly worked out an agreement: Windwhisper Town would be temporarily guarded by the Messina Rangers and the Holy Tree Cult until the Citadel was liberated.

　In Messina, Nepenses volunteered to report the situation to the King. Xingmo waved her hand, saying there was no need to alert the King about such matters. However, Nepenses said something that shocked Xingmo:

　"The King? He's also a demigod, of the same class as you. He has to communicate with you as an equal."

　Well...it should be said that demihumans are completely loyal believers in the worship of power.

Chapter 273 Star Caller (Part 6) (Two Updates in One)

　All in all, even if the little episode in Windwhisper Town was resolved, it ended without bloodshed, and even preached a religion in the process.

　Xingmo was quite satisfied with the first thing he did after becoming a demigod.

　Since she had to go to the dense forest of Messina to find the entrance to the kingdom of God in the invisible fog after obtaining the Spear of Ivramis that could kill gods, such a stronghold close to the dense forest was very important.

　Xingmo felt like she was a master at solving problems.

　""

　After leaving Nepenses' tent, Xingmo and Aurora went to the local church to demand the right to use the church.

　I originally thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect the priests to give up the church almost without any psychological barriers.

　According to them, their faith in the goddess vanished the moment the Hanging Gardens were created.

　"My brother lives in the Citadel, but no matter how much I pray to the goddess, he won't reply to my letters anymore." A priest burst into tears.

　There is no doubt that the "city protected by the goddess" was occupied in an instant, which was a severe crisis of faith for all believers of the goddess.

　Half an hour later, Alia and Bianca were ordered to take over the church. The statue of the goddess was toppled and replaced with a sacred tree dotted with stars.

　The church was renamed, and all faith-based aspects of the sacred objects in the church were identified as Xingmo.

　""

　Standing in front of the sacred tree sparkling with starlight, Xingmo raised his head, his pupils filled with golden fragments.

　"I didn't expect there would actually be a Saint Star Mo Church," Aurora muttered to herself. "What do you mean, do we need to have a ribbon-cutting ceremony?"

　"No need," Xingmo chuckled, "This is fine."

　She could feel the anchor tethering her soul, making her heart feel heavy, as if it was placed on flat ground.

　This is undoubtedly her bargaining chip to fight against madness.

　Xingmo felt relieved because all the people praying in this church were not her believers, and the reason for their prayers was not out of personal worship of her.

　What those residents crave is stability and shelter.

　And that was all Xingmo gave them.

　"The Saint Xingmo Church doesn't sound very nice." Xingmo muttered.

　"...We were just kidding, how could we call it that?" Aurora glanced at Xingmo.

　"Then let's change the name," Xingmo rubbed Aurora's head, "Let's call it..."

　"...Holy Star Church."

　After leaving the church, Xingmo once again returned to the tavern in the town center.

　Led by the boss, she entered a small private room.

　Chloe sat across from him.

　"Isn't the assistant here yet?" Chloe looked for Aurora.

　"We took over the church and she was going to take care of some things there."

　Xingmo sat down opposite Chloe and smiled politely at her:

　"It's enough for the two of us to talk about this matter."

　"Ah."
