Vivian's face changed, and a blue flame condensed on her hand, tearing a mirror-like hole in the space and disappearing.

After she left, police officers immediately surrounded the venue and began searching the scene.

......

"Lady Saint, do you wish to learn the Mantra?"

Inside the confessional of St. Auros Cathedral, Alia scratched her face awkwardly and said:

"Actually... I didn't know what this language was at first. It was just innate in my brain, and the older I got, the more I mastered it."

"This is your innate power," Xing Mo said in a rather charlatan tone, "On this point, you can be my teacher."

Hearing Xingmo say this, Alia suddenly panicked:

"No... I dare not! The Saint Lady is so powerful, I..."

"Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Everyone can be a teacher," Xingmo smiled. "Alia is so amazing. She can be my teacher, too."

"That's... that's too..."

Alia lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and she pursed her lips slightly.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, the little guy raised his head and said:

"I can demonstrate some basic vocabulary for you, but...it might be a bit rude..."

"It doesn't matter, this is a learning process." Xing Mo nodded.

Disrespectful? Why is it disrespectful? She thought to herself.

"Then... I'll get started then."

Alya closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the lines in her eyes were stained with darkness, and ancient lines spread across her skin.

Then, in a majestic and ancient tone, she uttered an obscure word.

"...!"

The moment she heard that word, Xing Mo felt as if a mountain had fallen down, knocking her directly to her knees on the ground, with her head lowered and her pupils trembling slightly.

At the same time, her soul was screaming, roaring, and surrendering.

Just when she felt like she was about to be crushed, the pressure suddenly disappeared.

"Sorry...I'm sorry!" Alia quickly helped Xingmo up, "Are you...are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Xingmo was still immersed in that huge sense of oppression. "Is this... is this the 'true word'?"

The moment she heard that word, she couldn't even struggle, let alone resist.

"Yes..." Alia still felt a little guilty for offending him. "It's one of the most basic words, and it's one I mastered very early."

"It means 'surrender, kneel down'."

"It's truly a magical power..." Xing Mo murmured, "It consumes a lot of spiritual energy, right?"

"Yes, during the days when I was the hungriest, I was completely unable to cast it," Alia nodded, a happy smile on her face, "but ever since the goddess gave me the mark, my spiritual power has been endless."

She raised her hand and showed Xingmo the faintly visible "Tree of Life" mark on the back of her hand.

What a conscientious boss... Xing Mo muttered in his heart and said:

"Try it a few more times. I'm going to try to remember the pronunciation."

"Eh? Are you still coming?" Alia was stunned for a moment, "Well... Well, I'm sorry..."

Then, she opened her mouth again and uttered the word.

After about five times, Xingmo finally mastered its pronunciation.

She took a deep breath and immediately spoke a difficult and obscure word to Alia in front of her:

“‘Submission’!”

The ancient majesty descended from the sky, and for a moment, the air trembled. Alia fell to her knees, holding her head.

At this moment, Xing Mo felt that spiritual energy was spewing out from her whole body. Just when she thought she was about to be drained, the "Tree of Life" mark on the back of her hand lit up and shared the spiritual energy with her.

As expected, the fundamental reason why this ancient language did not pass down was that it consumed too much energy.

If the mark of the "Tree of Life" didn't exist, a mortal would die of spiritual exhaustion just by uttering a simple word...

Xingmo shut up. Alia struggled to get up, a look of joy on her face.

"Lady Saint, you mastered it so quickly! You are a genius!"

"The 'Tree of Life' connects you and me. This is the favor of the goddess." Xing Mo smiled indifferently.

Well, I'll try using it on Aurora next time.

Just as Xing Mo was thinking this, the door of the confession room was pushed open and a young nun walked in:

"Lady Alia, Lady Saint," the little fellow bowed politely, "We have found the clue you need about the Humpback Whale."

So fast? Xing Mo was surprised and asked immediately:

"What clue?"

"He's next door, we've tied him up." The little nun bowed.

"Huh? Him?" Xing Mo was stunned.

......

7) Red Epiphyllum (Part 6) -4k chapter-

When Xing Mo opened the door, she saw the man tied up and immediately frowned.

Hey...don't kidnap me! This is a church! We'll get caught!

"He contacted us on his own initiative and said he was willing to accept any punishment," said the little nun on the side.

Initiated contact? No wonder the message came so quickly, I thought it would take a while...

Thinking of this, Xingmo sat down opposite the man and looked at him calmly.

As she watched, she suddenly felt that this person was familiar...

Wait? This guy isn't...

The man opposite was also stunned after seeing Xing Mo's face, and then said:

"Are you Miss Xingyu's sister?"

"Are you the one who spent a lot of money to buy a small model of the female knight...ahem, sir?" Xingmo braked immediately.

She recognized him—he was the champion of the Golden Gambling Arena at the Sunflower Hot Springs! The winning streak champion!

"Yes, I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this..." The man lowered his head and murmured, "My name is Toler. I didn't expect you to be from the church. No wonder the bathhouse was closed down after you arrived..."

Wait, did you misunderstand something? Do you think the church people would tie you up for no reason? Xing Mo curled her lips.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong - this is the "Saint Auros Cathedral"! If it is not the territory of the Goddess Church, then where is it?

Hey, I was also a saint of the goddess... No, a saint! Isn't that right?

Thinking of this, Xing Mo decided to go all out and put on an official air, elegantly crossing his legs and saying:

"So, Mr. Toller, what clues do you want to provide about the Humpback Whale?"

"Let me go first, I swear I'm not carrying any weapons," Toller said.

Xingmo took out her wand and with a slight movement, the ropes on Toler's body came loose.

He seemed to be relieved, then lowered his head and murmured:

"If Prince Austin hadn't killed her, I would never have wanted to cooperate with the goddess's followers in my life..."

As he said this, he took out a photo from his pocket and pushed it to Xingmo.

Xing Mo picked it up and took a look. The photo showed a huge steel ship floating in the waves of the harbor.

Judging from the equipment on the giant ship, it seems to be a...

"Whaling ship?" Xing Mo raised her head.

"That's what it looks like on the surface, but none of us know what it actually is."

Toller said, shifting uncomfortably:

"However, it goes out to sea once a month and stops at a port along the coast of the empire. I guess it might be carrying out some transportation mission for the prince."

Hearing this, Xingmo lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Was it a whaler that Bishop Fry Sunlet was seeking? Was it to board that whaler that he had donned his formal attire?

Why would a whaler need formal attire?

However, the fact that the whaling ship would dock at the empire's port suggests that Bishop Frye might be planning to board the Humpback Whale to reach the Machiavelli Empire across the Sea of ​​​​Breakdown.

After seeing something in "Xinghaiquan", he chose to escape.

These evidences still need to be verified, so there is no rush.

Xing Mo thought so and nodded to Mr. Toller:

"Thank you for the evidence."

She changed the subject and asked:

"So, can you tell us why you betrayed Prince Austin? You just mentioned that he killed someone?"

The wrinkles on Toller's face seemed to deepen all of a sudden. The high-spirited look he had in the gaming arena had vanished, and he seemed to have aged considerably.

"He killed my wife, Tolia, right after you sealed off the Sunflower Baths... My wife was the owner of the baths, and Prince Austin blamed her for the baths' exposure..."

"I surrendered to him in exchange for a pardon, but without Tolia, I... I..."

The pain on Toller's face suddenly burst out, and under the light of the confessional, his strong body seemed to begin to break inch by inch.

So you are the boss lady’s husband... No wonder you can win consecutive games in the gaming arena... I’m afraid you must have some tricks... Xingmo glanced at Toler thoughtfully.

No wonder you spent so much money on a figure...she added.

"What do you know about the evil magic circle under the bathhouse?" Xing Mo asked.

"I don't know anything, and neither does Tolia. We just do what the prince tells us to do..." Toler murmured.

Obviously, this guy is just a pawn, and Prince Austin rarely reveals any key information.

Looking at the suffering man in front of her, Xing Mo felt sorry for him, but suddenly she felt that there was nothing to feel sorry for.

The Sunflower Baths are one of the sources of the "curse" in the South City District. It is because of their spreading of the curse day after day that the entire South City has become a hotbed for "steam people" to walk around freely.

The reason why he turned to the Goddess Church was simply because he suffered backlash.

If he deserves pity, then who will pity the workers in the port area?

Xing Mo stood up and clapped his hands:

"Okay, you go back."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

But she was stopped by Toller——

"Miss Saint, you will avenge my Tolia? Right?"

Xingmo turned her head and saw Toler standing up with the muscles on his face trembling.

She looked at him quietly for a while, without answering, she turned around, pushed the door open and left.

......

After instructing the young nuns to keep an eye on Toler and prevent him from being sent by the prince, Xingmo came to the church door.

Before leaving, she quickly wrote a letter, telling her what had happened, and then enclosed the photo of the "Humpback Whale" and put it in an envelope.

As Xingmo stretched out her hand, a white dove flew over, grabbed the letter and flew away.

This letter is addressed to Mentor Lucius.

If it's a whaling ship, the instructor should know a lot about it.

After doing this, Xingmo stopped a carriage and rushed to the Baita District in the night.
