"What's wrong with cooperating with me~" Xingmo smiled and rubbed Aurora's head.
Then she raised her wand and shot a beam of starlight into the air.
Two minutes later, the guerrillas led by Chloe approached quickly and came to Xingmo.
"This, this, this...what is this?" Chloe looked at the mechanical flying dragon parked in the woods in surprise.
"Transportation," Xingmo said concisely, "Chloe, you should know what's going to happen next, right?"
"Um..."
Chloe nodded subconsciously, her expression indeed slightly startled.
She seemed to have thought of something, and her lips slightly opened, but it eventually turned into a faint smile.
That smile quickly took on a hint of ferocity—Chloe smiled eagerly and locked eyes with Xingmo:
"Ms. Jiedeti, let's go."
August Palace.
"New Party politicians, Chamber of Commerce bosses, there are so many people here tonight..."
"Shh, keep your voice down. Miss Serena told us not to be rude. We have an important guest tonight..."
The maids' whispers were almost instantly drowned out by the surging crowd. Accompanied by waves of applause, people in gorgeous clothes entered the banquet hall with smiles on their faces.
They were either hugging young and beautiful women, or being served by a group of servants, chatting and laughing.
Tonight, they received an invitation to attend this grand banquet.
The theme of the party was Dominic's...proposal.
In fact, this news had already spread throughout Massena. After all, everyone knew that the leader of the new party had fallen in love with the former maid Serena, and the two often appeared in public together, so their identities were naturally tied together.
Of course, the rumors about the two of them were not always so good. After all, Serena had an unclear relationship with the Flower King. In the eyes of many people, she was like a poisonous snake looking for flowers, spitting out her tongue in the shadows.
From any perspective, this banquet has attracted much attention.
""
Serena stood in the corner of the banquet hall, watching the joys and sorrows of those people with indifferent eyes.
She had revealed this look countless times - it was the look of an observer, indifferent, as if everything around her was covered with a gray filter.
Salina has been walking in the world for too many years. She has played countless different identities, sometimes dressed in gorgeous clothes, sometimes in tattered clothes, like a life that was torn apart and pieced together.
Only when she looks like this, she is truly herself.
""
Serena felt a sudden warmth on her hand. She looked down and saw a roaring soul emerging from her sleeve, as if wanting to yell at the people in the banquet hall.
She shook her sleeves, and the soul instantly shrank and hid in her cuffs.
After this night, everyone in Massena will become part of her.
In a sense, at that time, all the suffering in the world will disappear - everyone will merge with her and become one.
There will be no unfair treatment overall.
Damn... But does this really matter... Serena suddenly covered her forehead.
After a long time, she was tired of having to find a reason or a mission.
She couldn't find it and wasn't interested.
And now, all she does is to fulfill her mission.
The mission of a dependent.
""
As the moon rose higher in the sky, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became more lively, and more and more people came into the hall and toasted each other at the tables.
A party is just such an occasion, a simple way to gather these idiots together and catch them all in one fell swoop.
The place where these high-ranking people live is too far away from the mortal world. They cannot imagine what kind of dangers the creatures in the dust face on a daily basis. Those dangers have been away from them since they were born. Over a long period of time, they have long lost their perception of danger.
It was obvious that not long ago, the Golden King had completed a textbook-level assassination at a banquet in the Academy, wiping out the entire White Tower Council in one fell swoop.
But do these nobles care? They don't care.
They didn't think such a thing could happen to them, and they didn't take any precautions.
Since coming to power, these so-called top leaders of the new party have always boasted of being in high positions, overlooking the entire city in a transcendent manner, and believing that they are in control of the situation.
But everything they did was ultimately for their own selfish desires.
Serena remembered that tumultuous June when Louis-Auguste, the Flower King, had been driven mad by her manipulation and the streets of Massena were filled with parades.
These ragged nobles were just one of the people shouting slogans on the streets at that time. They were so righteous at that time, as if they were about to overthrow some corrupt system and bring light to Massena.
And now? What's the difference between them and the Flower King?
No... they are not as good as that king... at least that king was kind until his death, and even tried to resist...
""
Serena glanced at her pocket watch and estimated that it was almost time.
Sure enough, as the door was pushed open, Dominic Moran strode in under the escort of the guards.
His appearance immediately attracted
The crowd cheered, and people came forward, complimenting him from left to right, with fake smiles on their faces.
Serena observed Dominic's face. He looked very pale, his body was swaying, and the smile on his face was very weak when he responded to the compliments.
And more importantly, Serena saw...a faint black light on his face.
Yes, his spirit was dark, having gathered the anchoring connections that Arcadia had extracted at the ritual altar.
His ears must be filled with whispers...Salina's lips curled slightly.
So...how would you question me, Dominic?
""
At this time, Dominic finally finished dealing with those nobles.
He walked through the crowd, to the front of the banquet hall, and came up to Serena.
He looked at Serena, and Serena looked at him, one was depressed, the other was smiling.
Then, Dominic whispered:
"Honey...I...I don't feel right..."
"Oh? What happened?" Serena immediately pretended to be concerned. "Are you feeling unwell?"
“I feel…uncomfortable…”
Dominic was trembling like a child, his eyes dodging, as if he was surrounded by countless "people" that Serena could not see.
"Selina, you have to help me," Dominic suddenly grabbed Serena's hand, "I...I've figured it out...it must have been that saint who did it..."
"That saint did it?" Serena suddenly became serious. "What did she do?"
Impossible... That demigod... could actually sense my tricks and intervene in advance?
Selina found it a little bit unbelievable. It was impossible for a demigod to do anything to the anchor point.
However, before she could think deeply, Dominic said tremblingly:
"...Yes, remember... when she killed the fire dragon... she took away a quarter of my soul!"
"She's a demon...a demon! I sold my soul to her to protect Massena!"
"Selina...you have to help me...my soul is missing, I want to get my soul back...I..."
He suddenly stopped because he saw Serena giving a charming smile.
"Oh, Dominic," Serena reached out and held Dominic's cheek, "my Dominic..."
This poor guy still believes that his soul was taken away by that saint, right?
It's really interesting... Interesting soul...
I'm even starting to... regret using you as a pawn...
"I can help you..." Serena whispered softly in Dominic's ear. Dominic only noticed a faint scent of incense. "I can help you... redeem your soul..."
"...I...then what should I...do?"
Dominic's eyes suddenly became blurred, as if his soul had been taken away.
Looking at him like this, Serena whispered:
"Come... chant with me..."
"I'll chant with you..." Dominic whispered.
"Ah... the invisible mist... the kingdom of the disordered..."
"The invisible mist...the kingdom of the disordered..."
Dominic had no intention of resisting. He recited devoutly, like a loyal lamb following its shepherd.
“You are the life behind life, the world behind the world.”
"...You are...the life behind life...the world behind the world..."
"I pray that you..."
"I pray that you..."
"Dedicate everything to...the God of Mist..."
"Give it all to...the fog..."
Before Dominic could finish his words, he felt his lip being bitten.
He was startled and felt a warmth on his lips - Serena bit his lips.
For a moment, blood gushed out, but he felt a light sense of relief - something was being sucked out of his body.
But this feeling didn't last for a few seconds, Dominic suddenly came to his senses and found himself sitting on the ground.
He looked up blankly and saw Serena wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth in frustration, her pupils trembling slightly.
"No...no...this is impossible..." Serena said tremblingly, "What happened..."
"What happened? What do you think, Miss Serena?"
The door to the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open. Everyone turned around and saw Chloe August walking towards them, escorted by two Pegasus knights, twirling the silver swift sword in her hand.
"Or should I call you..." Chloe's eyes suddenly sharpened, "The God of Mist's favored one?"
Chapter 315: The Spear of Ivramis (Part 8) -4k- (Two Updates in One)
Followers of the God of Mist.
Hearing this title, Serena's pupils trembled slightly, and then the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"...You are not that stupid either..." she whispered.
"Of course I'm not stupid," Chloe smiled. "Do you really think you can commit crimes in the center of a country without being noticed by anyone? You are too naive..."
"I don't think so," Serena shook her head.
Those who have noticed...are already dead..."
"Not everyone died."
Chloe snapped her fingers, and suddenly golden light erupted in all directions of the banquet hall, causing the guests to scream in fear.
Pegasus knights walked out from the golden light, wearing armor outlined by starlight and with solemn expressions.
The entire banquet hall was immediately surrounded. It was obvious that all this was premeditated.
"Oh..." Serena smiled.
In that case, let's just get straight to the point and stop with the drama...
Serena thought so and prepared to step forward.
However, before she could speak, Dominic suddenly shouted:
