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

"I need a book, True Vision."

Elmo raised his head, his blue eyes reflecting a panicked face.

She waved her wand casually, and a book floated out from the sea of ​​books and landed on the table.

Bishop Frye wanted to reach out to take it, but Elmo slapped his little hand on the book first:

"This book is about peeking into the true appearance of God. I want to know, what do you need it for?"

Bishop Frye subconsciously wanted to refuse to answer, but when he saw Elmo's deep, icy eyes, he knew he could not compete with her.

Then he whispered:

"...Yesterday, he came to see me and told me the truth about Xinghai Spring and asked me to see it with my own eyes."

"...I have to see, that guy is talking nonsense, complete nonsense...!"

"...if they had done that to the fountain of the Lord, then I would...would have practiced the justice of the Lord..."

After Bishop Frye finished speaking, Xingmo felt that the scene became blurred and distorted, like a vortex.

The vortex soon spread out again, forming another scene.

It was a string array located deep in the darkness, with complex symbols and intertwined strings combined to fill the darkness.

That is Merlin's Superstring Array.

"Oh, I found it. Then, tell me, how do I enter that magic circle?" Aurora's voice sounded in the void.

So this was the reason why she let Elmo see her true form... in order to find a way to enter Merlin's Superstring Array.

Too lazy to read, so just pick up Elmo, who has read all the books, and read them again?

So evil...

As Xing Mo was thinking this, the scene in front of him turned into a vortex again and became hazy.

"Ah... that seems like too much information... has Miss Elmo read so many books?"

"Wow...you are really amazing..."

"Then please be obedient and let me read you for ten days or half a month. I will let you out when you remember."

The dark scene dissipated, Xingmo opened his eyes, and saw that Ai Ermo was still twitching slightly, with vines entangled all over his body.

Aurora snapped her fingers, and the vines dragged the petite girl into a pale green space and disappeared.

"Alas, reading too much isn't good either," Aurora waved her hand helplessly at Xingmo. "She's reading way too many books. I can't absorb the information I want all at once. I can only absorb it for a while..."

Xing Mo's brows twitched slightly. Good fellow, are you talking like a human being?

Before, after being sucked for just a few hours, Xingmo would collapse on the bed, unable to move, and let others do whatever they wanted.

And now, Miss Elmo is going to be sucked... for who knows how long...

Knowledge is harmful.

We can only pray that the Library Spirit's body can withstand it.

"Speaking of which, won't anyone discover us?" Xing Mo looked around again.

"It's okay. We've read that she hasn't been involved in anything for hundreds of years. No one would care if she disappeared."

Aurora covered her mouth and laughed secretly:

"Rather than this, I suggest you pay attention to the clues about Bishop Frye."

"Oh, yes." Xingmo stood up.

The reason why Bishop Fry Sunlet came to Elmo to borrow a book was because someone told him something!

This incident concerning "Xinghaiquan" obviously led to his disappearance with the "Angel's Tears".

The person who told him the story is most likely the mastermind behind the scenes!

"But it's unlikely that we can find that person now," Xingmo waved her hand, "after all, we don't even know where they met."

"Your little dagger is useless~" Aurora hummed a cheerful tune.

Why are you gloating? Xing Mo suddenly felt a little funny.

All in all, this matter can only be put on hold for the time being, and we can only wait until new clues emerge.

Just as Xingmo was thinking this, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the window on the side.

She looked out and saw a white pigeon pecking at the glass frantically, with a letter hanging from its foot.

The heavy rain soaked it like a drowned rat... its bangs were messed up...

"......" Xing Mo held back her smile, opened the window, and let the white dove fly in.

The wet white dove threw the letter on the table, shook its wings, and then flew away again.

Xingmo opened the letter and found a piece of letter paper and the gray-white photo she had given to Alia.

She unfolded the letter and began to read:

"Your Excellency, Lady Saint, we have found the factory you are looking for."

"It's a whale oil processing factory that also produces large biological restraint devices. It's run by Sir Derek Larson."

"He is a noble from the Kingdom of Messina and has bullied our companions in the past. If you have any further instructions, please feel free to contact me at the church."

"Yours faithfully, Alia."

Ah, the little guys are quite efficient, they even found the person behind them.

Xingmo handed the letter to Aurora and said:

"This knight should be very clear about the secret of the 'Steam Man'."

Aurora flipped through it and muttered:

"Capitalists, all capitalists deserve to die. Let me give you some power, and you can bully him yourself."

"Aren't you going?" Xing Mo thought Aurora would go with them, otherwise she wouldn't have bothered to report.

"We plan to get some information from Miss Elmo over the next couple of days," Aurora said with a bright smile. "This is your first independent mission! Lead the Aurora Cult to victory!"

Xingmo:......

......

6) Steam, Whale Song (Part 12)

After leaving the library, Xingmo went to Lucius' office in the South Tower alone on the pretext of submitting homework.

"Please come in."

After getting a response from her tutor, Xingmo pushed open the office door.

The aroma of ancient incense, accompanied by the crackling sound of burning in the fireplace, made Xingmo feel relaxed.

Lucius was sitting behind his desk, looking tired, his lake-blue eyes a little empty.

On the table in front of him, the candlesticks formed a simple consciousness magic circle, and in the center of the circle was a flower pot with a dead branch on it.

Xingmo sensed some residual spirituality in the air.

She sat down opposite her mentor and looked at the dead branch:

"Still no progress?"

The instructor smiled and shook his head, placing his wand on the table.

"I am further away from the results than we are from the goddess."

Ever since Lucius learned from Xingmo what Aurora said about "life", he has been conducting fewer and fewer experiments.

"With only life but no soul, what else can be born except a distorted existence?" This is what Aurora said at the time.

Looking at the instructor's tired appearance, Xingmo suddenly felt sad.

After all, even the most dim-witted person in the academy could see why the instructor wanted to study the chord of life—

——Because of Miriam.

"Actually, I've fantasized before about whether it's possible for Miriam to come back to life."

Lucius suddenly spoke, Xingmo looked up and found that the fatigue in those lake blue eyes was surging like the tide.

The middle-aged man looked at the string array on the table, then at the dead branch, and sighed:

"Merlin also saw my thoughts. He knew that my research direction would definitely not stop at simply studying plants. The ultimate goal must be people, living people."

"But he still approved it. Even though the String of Life had always been a restricted area, he still approved my project despite everyone's objections."

"He knew that an old dog caught in the rain should be given a roof over its head. He also knew that even with a roof over its head, the old dog would still be an old dog and could not return to the sunny day it longed for."

Faced with the instructor's sudden confession, Xing Mo was stunned for a moment, then said softly:

"Miriam's soul has returned to the stars, and she is watching us from there."

"Yes, I'm too selfish," Lucius said with a self-deprecating smile, "I can't avenge her, so finding this hopeless way to escape reality is stupid."

"You just did what every father would try." Xingmo whispered.

"It doesn't matter. At least I made the tadpole grow three heads, right?"

Lucius smiled humorously, skillfully brewed a cup of coffee, and pushed it to Xingmo across the table:

"So, Miss Xingsheng, what do you want to see me about tonight? I believe today is not Wednesday."

Of course, Xingmo knew this, so she didn't say anything about "Aurora", and Mentor Lucius was also very perceptive not to call her "Xingmo".

Even without the "Star Stream Vision" provided by the Observatory, if someone wanted to spy on the conversation between the two, they could do so.

"one little thing."

Xingmo took out the gray photo from her pocket and pushed it to Lucius.

"I've found this location. It's Sir Derek Larsen's whale oil processing plant. It seems to contain information about the nature of the 'Steam Man'. What do you know about this person?"

In the previous information exchange, Xingmo had already told Mentor Lucius his reasoning about the "Steam Man", and the latter thought it made sense.

It was very simple for Xingmo to come to Lucius at this time: as a hero of the "Steam Revolution", Mentor Lucius should know something.

Sure enough, Lucius' brows furrowed slightly, as if a fly was flying nearby.

He chewed the name "Derrick Larson" over and over again, then whispered:

"That guy is a monster."

"He was the first to come up with the idea of ​​using large restraints to confine narwhals in factories, and then inhumanely keeping those miserable animals in captivity while extracting their oil."

"You know, whale oil was an important raw material for the 'Steam Revolution,' and Sir Derek Larson relied on his cruelty to maximize the benefits of that revolution."

Hanging whales in the factory and using them as milk cows... Xingmo felt a chill when he thought of that scene.

Wait… “large restraint device”?

It seems that the key to restraining or controlling the "Steam Man" may really be in this factory.

Xing Mo felt that he had grasped the clue and immediately said:

"My intelligence tells me that Sir Derek Larsen is related to the 'Steam Man', which means he has some degree of vested interest in Prince Austin."

"If we can catch him, the chain of evidence for arresting Prince Austin will be more complete."

When Mentor Lucius heard this, he suddenly smiled:

"Your intelligence chain? It seems you helped that little guy organize a lot of... new friends."

Mentor...please don't mock me about this kind of thing...it's not like I want to be the Evil Saint!

Xingmo puffed up his cheeks, and Lucius burst into laughter:

"I understand what you mean. Okay, I'll go with you."

"I haven't invited you yet..." Xingmo still had her cheeks slightly puffed up.

"But I'm the only one who can figure out those complicated gears and lines, right?"

Lucius smiled slightly and added two spoonfuls of sugar to his coffee.

The next second, his eyes suddenly became much sharper:
