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

　"Miss Jie...Shikoti, what's going on?"

　Chloe turned to look at Xingmo, but found that she was just smiling faintly.

　That smile seemed to say: This is all part of the plan.

　The fire dragon attacking the train was part of the plan.

　The fire dragon beating up the giant was part of the plan.

　She has a plan.

　But don't say it.

　""

　In fact, Xingmo's plan can be said to be quite simple and effective.

　Since the culprit who used the curse to control the fire dragon to attack Massena is inside the Giant King's Court, using Bahamut's attack can easily stir up waves on the calm water surface.

　According to Xingmo's prediction, the actual combat power of the Giant King's Court is not as good as that of the Fire Dragon, otherwise Bahamut would not have been able to reach the throne in the previous conflict, and Principal Merlin would not have spent so much time to reconcile the conflict.

　Therefore, as long as Bahamut, known as the Elder of the Hell of Fire, issues an ultimatum to the Giant King's Court in the name of "eliminating the evil god's followers", the giants will naturally become chaotic.

　Whether it is the giant leader, the flower of the royal court, Alovetes, or the evil god's follower hiding in the royal court, they will take action immediately.

　At this time, as long as Xing Mo enters, he can easily seize their weaknesses.

　At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard from the side. Dominic ran over and looked at the burning square in amazement.

　"Fa Fa Fa...what happened?" He stuttered a little, "That dragon...went crazy?"

　Xing Mo ignored Dominic and just waved his hand and said:

　"Come on, let's go see those two giants."

　The group walked through the foggy square and arrived at the center of the square.

　In the center of the square stood rows of stone slabs, half a meter to one meter high, arranged unevenly, but showing a trend of getting shorter.

　The stone bars formed a simple well, and the surface of the stone was engraved with complex inscriptions.

　And beside the well, blue-gray bodies were either lying or half-kneeling.

　giant.

　The shortest among them was about three meters tall, and the tallest was estimated to be five meters tall.

　The giant's body was covered in chainmail armor and some hard shells stripped from unknown beasts, with spikes and barbs on the uneven surface.

　Their faces are not much different from humans, except that their jaws are wider, their foreheads are shorter, and their big mouths take up almost 1/2 of their faces. A small number of giants have fangs protruding from their lips.

　It does look...unsatisfactory.

　At this moment, the giants were reorganizing after the battle, or healing their wounds, or talking in unclear tones.

　Hearing the footsteps, the tallest giant turned around and looked towards Xingmo.

　His eyes were dark blue, with cloudy grayish whites and bloodshot veins pulsing in them.

　Although he was covered in wounds, he still stood up with the giant axe and walked towards Xingmo and his group.

　"The royal court ahead, human, state your purpose."

　The giant looked down at Xingmo, condescending and with a ferocious look on his face.

　Before Xingmo could speak, Dominic rushed over from the side:

　"Brother Giant, do you remember me?" He gently stroked his curly hair. "The leader of the new party, Dominic."

　"New Party Leader?" Strange, rock-like lines appeared on the giant's grayish-blue skin. "Oh, Massena's Boy Scouts?"

　Massena's Boy Scouts? Xingmo was amused by this description.

　But she didn't say anything, just let Dominic perform.

　Dominic was obviously a little unhappy when he heard the description of "Boy Scout".

　The smile on his face froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said:

　"Our allies are about to enter the Giant King's Court, apparently looking for something. Please excuse me..."

　"Enter the royal court? Human?" The giant raised his lips. "Don't dream, child. You haven't been invited, so don't come where you shouldn't be."

　Dominic was slightly taken aback by the giant's tough attitude, but he still forced a smile:

　"Friend, we fought side by side in the Massena War of Independence. Can you please give me some face? I..."

　"Hahahahahaha, this guy said we fought side by side?"

　Another giant came over, his skin was greenish and his fangs were blue-gray.

　"You gave us half a year's harvest in exchange for us punching a few holes in the city wall to help you, and now that means we're fighting side by side?"

　"Only Scourge and dragons are qualified to fight giants!" He suddenly roared, and the strong wind pushed Dominic back dozens of steps. "And you haven't even paid the full reward yet. We don't have time to play house with you now!"

　""

　Amidst the roaring wind of the giant, Xingmo and Aurora exchanged glances with indifferent expressions.

　Wow... So this guy's cooperation with the giants in the Massena War of Independence... was exchanged for half a year's grain harvest?

　Xingmo had heard about the grand occasion when the New Party overthrew the Flower King. After all, they invited the giants and even declared during negotiations with the palace guards, "If you don't obey, the giants will raze the August Palace to the ground."

　After all this time, is it true that the giant is just outside cheering?

　And it took half a year’s harvest?

　Thinking back to the tragic situation of the people in Massena, Xingmo sighed softly.

　How many people can be fed with half a year's worth of food?

　""

　After being exposed by the giant in public, Dominic's face turned blue and purple, and he seemed to be extremely ashamed.

　At this time, Chloe took two steps forward and looked directly at the giant:

　"I am a descendant of Louis Auguste, the Flower King," she said. "As a descendant of the royal family, I would like to meet with Her Majesty Aloftes, the Flower of the Royal Court, to discuss important matters."

　"Your royal family fell long ago! Moreover, your father was always closer to the fire dragons during his reign!" The giant lying on the ground beside him suddenly spoke up, "Descendants of August, we have no interest in your surname."

　"Get back now! And by the way, tell this Scout Leader of yours!" The giant lowered his head and approached Dominic. "If I don't see my damn reward within three months, I will take action myself. By then, I won't just be here to show my support. I will uproot your palace!"

　His words stirred up a storm, causing Dominic's guards to subconsciously raise their muskets.

　"Oh? Want to arm wrestle?" The giant grinned ugly, "Perfect..."

　"enough."

　Gentle words were spoken, and the strong wind retreated and spread to both sides.

　The giant's gaze shifted, and he saw a girl with black hair and green eyes approaching him, looking up at him.

　"I want to see Alofts," her voice was soft but clear, "in the name of Merlin."

　As soon as these words were spoken, the giant who had been making a lot of noise suddenly became quiet.

　Of course they all knew Merlin - when the royal court was almost breached by the damned fire dragon, it was Merlin who appeared with his messengers and helped Her Majesty Aloftes complete the peace talks with the fire dragon.

　That demigod not only possessed terrifying supernatural powers, but also had outstanding personal charm, which even attracted Her Majesty Aloftes.

　"Merlin's messenger?" the giant muttered. "Any proof?"

　"Read it, and you will understand."

　Xingmo took out an envelope, snapped his fingers, and the envelope burned into pure flames.

　The flames outlined clear words in the air, written in Giant language.

　The giant stood up straight and began to read the lines of text, his expression becoming more serious as he read.

　After finishing reading, he immediately turned around and said something to another giant beside him.

　After receiving the order, the giant immediately jumped into the crack in the center of the stone forest and fell into the endless abyss.

　"Please wait a moment. We need to get the order from Her Majesty Aloftes," he said to Xingmo seriously. "We apologize for our earlier impoliteness. Lord Merlin and his friends will always be friends of the Giant King's Court. Please forgive our recklessness and abruptness."

　"I understand, after all, trust comes from actions." Xing Mo smiled faintly.

　Dominic, who was standing by, blushed crimson when he heard this. He lowered his head and said nothing more.

　Chloe was stunned by the change in the giants' behavior. She secretly poked Xingmo's shoulder and whispered in her ear:

　"Your relationship is quite strong..."

　"After all, it's Merlin's prestige." Xing Mo replied indifferently.

　Although Xingmo was very dissatisfied with Merlin's extremely conservative attitude towards Cain, it had to be said that it was much more convenient to act by relying on the principal's reputation.

　This is indeed how it should be. After all, Merlin is adept in any field, from mysticism to diplomacy, he is good at everything.

　However, this fallen angel who had walked on earth for a thousand years hesitated when faced with the garden that fell from the sky.

　Perhaps, that is his biggest weakness in this life.

　""

　More than ten minutes later, as darkness emerged from the deep well in the stone forest, the figure of a giant emerged.

　"Lady Alofts, tell us to lead Merlin's messenger into the royal court immediately!" he shouted. "The great flower of the royal court said she wants to see the messenger and August's queen.

　Descendants! But don't meet that clown who is in arrears with his wages!"

　Hey... Actually, you don't have to say that last sentence... It hurts my pride...

　Xingmo felt a little gloating and even felt a little sorry for Dominic - after all, that guy seemed to be trying his best to get close to Xingmo.

　As expected, Dominic sighed after hearing this, walked up to Xingmo, and smiled helplessly:

　"It seems that I can't go with you... Miss Shikoti."

　"You can go back first. I'm not sure how long this trip will take." Xing Mo's face was calm.

　"It's okay, I'll stay here and wait for you to come out."

　Dominic saluted respectfully, then took two steps back to order his guards to deploy into formation.

　Okay...this guy really doesn't want to miss any opportunity to join in the fun.

　Xing Mo sighed, then turned to Chloe and said:

　"Are you ready?"

　“Always be prepared.”

　Chloe clenched her fists, turned around and signaled the two Pegasus Knights to follow, then shouted to the guerrillas:

　"Everyone! Guard the entrance and report any movements at any time!"

　"No need to report. The royal court and even the spiritual world are isolated. There is no way to transmit information." The giant messenger said.

　"The wind will carry it," Chloe replied.

　""

　After confirming the list of people entering the royal court, the messenger led the group up the stone steps and stood at the edge of the deep well.

　Of course, the process is a little tortuous, after all, the stairs are designed for giants.

　Standing on the edge and looking into the deep well, boundless darkness filled the deep pit with a diameter of about ten meters, boiling like a burning flame.

　The giant messenger gently tapped the scepter in his hand. Xing Mo only felt his body lighten. He looked down and found that he was surrounded by a faint purple light.

　"Step into the abyss," he said. "You are welcome at the royal court."

　"Yeah, let's start dancing!"

　Aurora said this with joy, then leaped up and fell into the darkness with a whoosh.

　"See you down there." Xing Mo turned around, gave Chloe a thumbs up, and then fell on his back.

　She quickly fell into darkness—a sticky, dense darkness that rubbed against her body like some kind of fluid, blocked by the lavender light.

　As the purple light burned, Xing Mo knew that she was flying rapidly through the earth. She had been falling for ten seconds... twenty seconds... but the surroundings were still shrouded in darkness.

　When was this passage built? Before the Age of Gods? Or when the giants' towering castle crumbled at the end of the Age of Gods?

　The giants were once a civilization that kissed the clouds, and their wonders shocked the world, but now they hide their royal court in the bottomless darkness.
