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

　"Anyway, the immortals from the Hanging Gardens were going to kill me, but Isabella stopped them."

　"She had the jackals mentally imprint me, saying a bell keeper should be put to better use, and so they turned me into a cursed machine."

　"During that time, I was almost blind and ignorant, knowing nothing. I simply hid in the dark and waited. I overheard many of their plans... including Isabella's meeting with the emperor. I heard most of it."

　Hearing this, Professor Ling couldn't help but interrupt:

　"Wait, if it was a cursed mark cast by the Immortal Division, then how did you escape? As far as I know, there's no way to escape that kind of mark."

　"I don't know either," Dawn shook his head, "but my consciousness has been getting clearer and clearer over time..."

　"According to my own speculation...it's because of the Sword of Dawn."

　"Sword of Dawn?" Alice frowned.

　This is a bit unexpected...

　"Well, Isabella often prayed before the sword, and we always followed her," Dawn whispered. "Over time, I felt my consciousness becoming increasingly clear. It seemed as if the sword's starlight was gradually dissolving the curse within me..."

　How ironic... The light of the Sword of Dawn disintegrated the cursed polluters controlled by the self-proclaimed saint...

　Professor Ling and Alice looked at each other, both of them with helplessness on their faces.

　This kind of coincidence...can only be said to be a little too coincidental, yet very reasonable.

　"How ironic..." Alice murmured. "Isabella claimed to be a follower of the Goddess, believing she was acting in accordance with the Goddess's ways, but it was the very star power bestowed upon her by the Goddess that ruined her plans."

　"She's completely crazy," Dawn said decisively.

　"That girl's head is full of twisted ideas... Her original intention seemed to be to control the power within the White Tower to prevent greater casualties, but later she seemed to only want to focus the power on her own body... The golden body was actually forged long ago, but she kept forging it under the pretext of flaws, pursuing perfection... even more perfection..."

　"I'm afraid the golden body won't die so easily." Professor Ling shook his head.

　Just as the group was chatting, suddenly, there was an explosion outside the window.

　Professor Ling and Alice immediately went to the window and looked out, only to see a ray of light falling from the sky and hitting the tall tower in the center of the city.

　"boom"

　The Sky Garden fired a colorful beam of light at the White Tower, and the chaotic spiritual pressure spread in all directions, forming a shield-like shape.

　The beam of light only bombarded for about ten seconds, and then it stopped abruptly, leaving only the semi-spherical barrier covering the ground.

　"They launched an attack on the White Tower? But why so quickly..." Alice's eyes widened slightly.

　She knew the Imperials would try to open the White Tower soon, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

　"That was just a test," Ling whispered. "Even without counting its inherent sanctity, the White Tower's outer shell has been reinforced with countless layers of defensive string magic by wizards over the past millennia. The Imperials were testing the characteristics of spiritual power, trying to find the most stable frequency for output."

　She looked at the spherical barrier and sighed softly:

　"And...it seems like they're planning on excluding us."

　The spherical barrier was rainbow-colored, with colorful light flowing on its surface. It was obviously not easy to deal with.

　"The string magic barrier created by the superstring array usually has extremely strict mystical logic. Generally speaking, there is no way to brute force the qualified characteristics. You either have to break through it violently or find a way for the Imperials to enter."

　Professor Ling was thinking quickly.

　At this moment, Dawn on the bed behind him suddenly spoke:

　"Ah...that's...the Saints' Agreement!"

　Saint's Agreement...? Alice and Ling turned their heads at the same time:

　"what is that?"

　"I seem to have heard Isabella talk about it," Dawn climbed out of bed and walked to the window in her slippers. "Well... the Imperials are gathering, there's no doubt about it."

　"This is a protective measure before the White Tower opens. The firepower system on the Hanging Garden and the superstring formation together form a spear and shield covering the entire White Tower area, eliminating any external influences and creating the optimal environment for the opening of the White Tower."

　"You mean..." Alice frowned, "The Golden King is afraid?"

　But how could he be afraid?

　"There's a lot of information we don't know," Professor Ling raised his head, "but if I had to guess, there could only be three forces interfering."

　"First, it's the Republic of Falu. Even if Ugaen is isolated from information, he should be able to know that Chloe August has regained power in Falu and can intervene in the situation in the Citadel at any time."

　"Fallu... is that really possible?" Alice sounded unsure. "Although I've heard about what Xiaomo did in Falu, considering their national strength, they should be in a state of disrepair right now, right? Not to mention they're still locked in a stalemate with the Imperial Army."

　"It's just included on the list," Ling nodded. "The second force is Yan Xia's Black Dragon Society. They've always maintained a presence in the Citadel, and now Lucius seems to be cooperating with them, which means they will definitely make a move as well."

　"The third party... and the one I think is most likely, is the Kingdom of Messina."

　Professor Ling looked towards the northwest, his eyes flickering:

　"From what I know from my connections there... the messenger is spreading the word, which might mean that Emerald Seventeen wants to leave."

　"I have a question," Alice said after a moment's thought. "These three forces... will the Golden King, with the Court of Redemption backing him, really be afraid?"

　"Who knows, maybe he has his own considerations, but we must not be careless."

　After Ling finished speaking, he turned to look at Dawn:

　"How much do you know about the Saints' Agreement?"

　"I witnessed Isabella planning to build a door underground in Maple Leaf Palace," Dawn continued. "The reason I'm so concerned about that door is because there are at least three or four layers of string magic arrays painted underneath it, which seem to correspond to some very complex spiritual power characteristics."

　"The construction of that door began after Isabella learned about the Saints' Agreement, which means..."

　"...That door is most likely the way to enter the barrier." Ling finished what Dawn wanted to say.

　Indeed, it is impossible for the imperialists to leave no gates at all, otherwise they would hand over the occupied territories outside the barrier to possible foreign enemies.

　"That means there must be at least one door leading to Maple Leaf Palace," Professor Ling nodded. "I understand. I'll send someone to investigate immediately."

　She patted Dawn's shoulder and turned to walk out of the medical room.

　At the same time, Vivian pushed the door open and walked in. The little dragon girl looked full of energy, but she puffed up her cheeks when she saw Alice and Dawn talking together.

　"Senior Vivian," Dawn greeted quickly, "Hello, um..."

　But Vivian ignored Dawn and didn't even look at him!

　She came up to Alice

　, rubbed it, and then put his nose close to Alice's eyes.

　"What?" Alice laughed. "Are you jealous again? You get jealous just because someone is talking to me?"

　"You're talking to a man!" Vivian was dissatisfied.

　"Just because I talk to a man doesn't stop me from loving you."

　Alice said these cheesy words calmly, instantly igniting Vivian's fair face:

　"In other words, if I stop loving a man after just a few words, how cheap would that love be?"

　"You, you, you!" Vivian's face flushed red, "Humph!"

　She turned her head, exhaled, and then raised her chin to look at Dawn.

　"How are you?" she asked loudly.

　"The report...is not bad..." Dawn rubbed his head helplessly.

　"That's good. Things are going to be very busy." Vivian nodded.

　The playful expressions on the three faces disappeared, and they looked out the window together, looking at the rainbow light covering the horizon.

　Yeah, next...

　...it's going to be busy.

Chapter 351: Saints' Agreement (Part 2) -4k- (Double Update in One)

　The city of Massena is in ruins.

　The sun shines on the entire city, and the streets and alleys are filled with a faint smell of fireworks.

　The New Party stepped down, the evil god's followers were killed, and Princess Chloe moved all the food and supplies stored in the granary by the New Party and distributed them to the residents on the streets.

　Everything is growing in vitality, just like this beautiful spring.

　""

　"Eat quickly."

　A simple dish was brought into the cell and placed on the floor.

　Dominic picked up the plate and stared at the hard bread with a dazed look in his eyes.

　He picked up the bread and took a bite, adjusting to the texture that had nothing to do with softness.

　He sat down by the window, recalling his past prosperity and imagining that he was eating some kind of extraordinary delicacy.

　As I was eating, a breeze blew in from the window, carrying with it a faint scent of flowers.

　Dominic shuddered and turned his head suddenly, only to see a red flower flying across the outline of the iron railing, bending an elegant arc in the wind.

　The flower passed quickly in his sight, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.

　Just like her hair.

　"What's the situation now?"

　After stuffing the green grapes into his mouth for the third time, Xingmo stretched.

　To be honest, it is really comfortable to rest on the crown of the sacred tree, and I am 100% or even 90% satisfied.

　but...

　Xingmo's gaze fell on Aurora—the little girl was sleeping in the hammock with a peaceful look on her face.

　She said she wanted to stabilize herself, but as soon as she stabilized herself, she fell asleep.

　Not even a reaction.

　Seeing that Aurora didn't respond, Xingmo stood up and planned to talk to her.

　At this moment, Aurora's voice rang out in her heart:

　"We're searching the forest... Um... This forest has been purified by us. We can use it as a base from now on, eh?"

　Base? What's it for?

　Put it to good use? Xingmo thought of the living song that Aurora had created.

　"When the Invisible Mist's kingdom collapsed, a considerable amount of supernatural essence seeped into the real world. This land is very fertile for supernatural energy," Aurora explained to Xingmo. "If we don't gather these supernatural energy together, maybe supernatural man-eating plants will grow."

　"Then what is the purpose of gathering these extraordinary people together?"

　"Of course, it's to cultivate extraordinary man-eating plants, the super-large ones."

　Little ancestor...you are still an evil god...

　Xingmo sighed and tried not to think about what a forest full of carnivorous plants would be like.

　That's right, since this area is almost bound to be filled with supernatural essence, it is better to control it in the hands of the Holy Tree Cult.

　It would be better to add some extraordinary divine favors, so that it will be more convenient to fight when the time comes.

　But I still hope...Aurora can improve her aesthetic taste...

　Don’t use the creative workshop you got from the Invisible Mist to randomly make divine favors.

　""

　"Oh, by the way, I have some bad news for you."

　Aurora's voice rang out:

　"Merlin's gone."

　"Gone?" Xing Mo frowned, "How could that be? Didn't he go..."

　"The area where the Stoneseed guards the Slate of Truth remains intact, undamaged. Traces of Merlin's past have indeed been seen in the netherworld of that area."

　"But when the kingdom of God collapsed, Merlin disappeared. It's that simple."

　Disappear...Xing Mo pursed her lips slightly...

　But why?

　Xingmo recalled seeing the secret in Stoneseed's dream: when the October shipwreck happened, Merlin was behind her.

　She had wanted to ask Merlin about the shipwreck, why he was there, and what the Sea Cloud was all about.
