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

　After all, Merlin had spent so much time helping the giants resolve the fire dragon crisis, so his words should have some weight.

　Xing Mo's eyes swept over the lines of obscure Giant language on the envelope and quickly found the key name:

　"Alovtes, the flower of the royal court." She whispered.

　"That's the queen's name," Chloe turned around in surprise. "How do you know her name? Not many people should know it."

　Ah...Principal Merlin knows the queen...Xingmo breathed a sigh of relief.

　Why bother looking for Dominic? He only knows the janitor. Can the janitor decide things like who will see the queen?

　However, Xingmo still decided to meet the so-called new party leader.

　The current Republic of France gave her an extremely unreliable feeling, and she wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of person Dominic was.

　After all, we still have to form an alliance with Chloe, so we have to help her when she needs help.

　Who asked Dominic to be so rude?

　""

　The carriage passed the checkpoint and entered the city smoothly after Chloe showed her ID.

　Massena, the capital of Fallujah.

　There were forests of spires, marble buildings blackened by smoke, dirty dirt roads, and dilapidated streets.

　The first impression the entire city gave Xing Mo was that of an angel who had fallen to earth. She once had a beautiful face, but after falling into the mortal world, it was contaminated by the mud. Only the white skin faintly visible in the mud revealed her former elegance and beauty.

　Most of the residents on the roadside were dressed in rags, with dull eyes. They walked in the black smoke, looking at the carriage with numb eyes but a hint of greed.

　This is a city that needs to be rebuilt.

　Xingmo could hardly imagine how many terrible scars the Flower King's large-scale sacrifices and wars had caused on the city, but from her perspective, this was not a livable city.

　The food conditions are not even as good as those in the Holy Tree Cathedral... she complained in her heart.

　The capital in the rear was in such a mess that Xingmo could hardly imagine what the miserable situation was like in the cities and settlements on the front lines of the war.

　This is war. There is no romantic ambition, no grand roar of gunfire, but only a mess after the destruction and flesh and bones mixed in the mud that no one cares about.

　""

　As the carriage drove towards the city, Xingmo saw a half-collapsed church.

　From the part that has not collapsed, one can vaguely see its former grandeur and magnificence, but it is now no different from ruins, without any life at all.

　"That's the Flower Spirit Church, the largest goddess church in all of Falu," Chloe said. "When Dominic started the rebellion, the first thing he did was send his saints to that church and blow it up."

　"Well fried." Aurora, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

　Chloe: ???

　How uncultured! Aren't you from the Citadel? Even if you're not a member of the Cult of the Goddess, you shouldn't be talking to the goddess like that!

　Although Chloe is not a devout believer in the goddess, she follows her father in believing in the god above the starry sea.

　You come up and say it's fried well, aren't you afraid of offending people?

　Just when Chloe was about to say something, Xingmo patted her shoulder:

　"Miss Chloe, if I help you overthrow the New Party, can I ask for a personal reward?"

　"Um...what reward?" Chloe was curious.

　Xingmo pointed at the half-collapsed giant church:

　"That's it."

　Chloe: ???

　No, you are here to station troops?

Chapter 276: White Dove on the Cross (Part 3) -4k- (Double Update in One)

　Auguste Palace - Massena

　A magnificent palace stands in the center of the city, with towering spires overlooking the entire city. Flower-shaped reliefs grow on the marble walls, forming clusters of flowers.

　This may be the only well-preserved ancient building in the whole of Massena.

　In front of the pointed arch, Xingmo got out of the car and stretched in the humid air.

　"Not bad, this palace is bigger than the Maple Leaf Palace." Aurora stretched her muscles...Do gods really need to stretch their muscles?

　"People living in the palace always give people an unpleasant feeling." Xing Mo muttered, and she inexplicably thought of Isabella.

　"That's right, we don't even have a palace to live in, and these mortals are all sticking their noses up, puffing out their chests and hunching their waists like they're so arrogant," Aurora said lazily. "You'll see. That Dominic is definitely going to give us a hard time. What are you going to do then?"

　"Beat him." Xingmo said.

　"...Why are you so violent too? Crazy and overflowing?" Aurora looked as if she had seen a ghost.

　"It's because of my character," Xingmo chuckled and rubbed Aurora's head. "Look, my current character is the cold-faced, crazy Saint of the Holy Tree Cult. I usually have no expression on my face, but I go crazy when something goes wrong. That way, I can be intimidating enough."

　"So why isn't your character the gentle Saint of the Holy Tree Cult?" Aurora tilted her head. "I think this one's pretty scary, too."

　"Am I not gentle enough?" Xing Mo said.

　"Oh, that's right. It's boring to be gentle all the time. Then you can act gentle. It's fun to watch you perform." Aurora waved her hand.

　Xing Mo smiled lightly. In fact, she had her own considerations for setting up multiple identities.

　First of all, according to official records, Xingmo's identity is already dead, and his grave is still in the Citadel, so it cannot be used.

　Then, Xing Sheng’s identity is a good student of Nefera Beta Magic Academy. If Xing Mo wants to return to normal life one day, this identity is the most suitable.

　Next, the identity of Dr. Jiedeti has considerable say in both Winter County and the New Garo generation. She is a neutral character, suitable for moving between various forces, and not suitable for taking a political or factional stance.

　Therefore, Xingmo needed to deliberately create the new identity of "Shikoti Amra".

　In this identity, she represents the Holy Tree Cult, so she can naturally do things that are in her own interests more unscrupulously.

　In other words, the means can be more brutal.

　"Okay, let's go in."

　Chloe came from behind and came to Xingmo's side:

　"I have secretly gathered my knights. If anything goes wrong, I will be able to provide a backup."

　"What else could go wrong? Don't worry, it can be handled." Xing Mo said.

　"It never hurts to be extra prepared."

　After Chloe finished speaking, she took Xingmo and Aurora into the gate of August Palace.

　The interior of the palace was just as Xingmo had expected: luxurious and exuding an air of wealth. The walls were covered in murals, the ceiling was a vaulted ceiling carved with reliefs, and crystal chandeliers hung down, emitting a hazy light.

　"It looks like this place is still for the king to live in," Aurora muttered. "I thought there was some difference between the new party you mentioned and the king."

　"He accepted all of his father's inheritance without any psychological barriers and lived in the palace every day," Chloe said expressionlessly, "Heh..."

　I feel like this is just a king in a different form.

　A very unpleasant form.

　When they reached the door of the reception room, an elegant butler came forward and bowed to Chloe.

　"Ms. Chloe, Mr. Dominic has been waiting for you for a long time," he said.

　Chloe turned her head and winked at Xingmo.

　Xingmo knew that this meant Dominic had already set up the banquet and was waiting for her to take her seat.

　In fact, Xingmo had already noticed that there had been spies following them since they entered the city.

　Her hawk soared in the sky, taking in the entire situation of Massena, and nothing could escape her sight.

　She knew that after the Xingmo process, the two city defense forces returned to the August Palace, ready to go.

　It is obvious that he is prepared to turn the table if the negotiations fail.

　But Xingmo didn't feel nervous at all - she was there to overturn the table.

　"Let's go."

　Xing Mo nodded, then opened the door before the butler and walked into the reception room.

　The decoration of the reception room is equally luxurious. The magnificent interior and murals are like trees and leaves in the jungle, crisscrossing and forming a dazzling scene.

　In the center of the living room was a round table. A man with black curly hair and a silk robe was already sitting at the table with a smile in his eyes.

　Dominic Moran, new party leader.

　Beside him, three or four men in formal attire sat upright with solemn expressions, looking quite oppressive.

　They should also be figures in the new party and at the leadership level to be qualified to sit next to Dominic.

　Among this group of unbelievably serious people, Dominic's playboy-like appearance seemed a little out of place, even a little ridiculous.

　But this also adds a bit of "this is a character" temperament to him.

　At least he probably thought so, after all, his smile was very confident.

　""

　Xingmo and Aurora walked to the round table and took their seats.

　Chloe stood aside, staring coldly at Dominic across the table.

　She obviously didn't intend to join the conversation too early.

　""

　Xingmo just sat down,

　Dominic smiled and snapped his fingers:

　"I've long heard that the academic city of Academi is teeming with beautiful women. Meeting you two today is truly a great honor. You are like spring flowers, delicate and tender, inspiring a chivalrous desire to protect you..."

　So greasy...Xingmo was secretly shocked.

　She didn't miss the implication of Dominic's words: being delicate meant not being strong enough.

　Making others want to protect themselves means they are unable to protect themselves.

　Then, Xing Mo smiled faintly and replied:

　"I've long heard of your great name, Mr. Dominic. I've long heard that you have the appearance of a king of France. Seeing your face today, I can see that your reputation is truly well-deserved."

　"Oh, Miss, you are too kind." Dominic responded politely, but the color in his eyes faded a little.

　This little girl is really sharp-tongued... If you poke me secretly, she will poke me back.

　The force of this poke was quite strong - it looked like King Fallu... King Fallu was beheaded!

　This is not the attitude of asking for help... Dominic continued with a forced smile:

　"What's the lady's name?"

　"Shikoti Amura," Xingmo said calmly, "the Saint of the Holy Tree Cult."

　Holy Tree Cult? Dominic exchanged glances with several New Party members, noticing confusion on everyone's faces.

　Where did this religion come from?

　"I seem to have heard that there's indeed such a religion circulating in Winter County..." one of the council members suddenly said, "The recently famous Doctor Jie Deti is rumored to be a member of the Holy Tree Cult."

　"Who cares what religion a third-rate doctor believes in..." another MP muttered.

　"I thought you were here on behalf of the Xinghai Church," Dominic cleared his throat. "Does that mean you're not a representative of the Citadel?"

　"I represent the Citadel and the Church of the Holy Tree," Xingmo said in an ethereal voice. "As for the goddess, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I think even if everyone in this room were put together, I wouldn't be able to find even half a follower of the goddess."

　A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which made Dominic dumbfounded.

　Previously, Dominic prepared a lot of speeches, all directed at the goddess and the Star Sea Church.

　After all, Falu has now destroyed almost everything related to the goddess, and the Flower King who believed in the goddess has also lost his head.

　Dominic originally intended to use these things as topics of conversation to weaken the other party's position in the conversation, so that he could make a big ask later.

　It turns out that he is not a believer in the goddess at all.

　"Well..." Dominic cleared his throat, "It's all the same. After all, you represent the Citadel, right?"

　"Yes." Xing Mo nodded lightly.
