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

　Qiuniu smiled mysteriously and said:

　"You should have guessed it by now. Due to the individual differences among the Jiedushi, we are actually in a mutually reinforcing relationship. Even with the Renyantang acting as a mediator in the peace talks, it's impossible to completely eliminate the contradictions between us."

　"Now that Danzhou has come under my command, this is enough to make many people unhappy. If I send a large-scale army to the southeast, I'm afraid my brothers and sisters will not be happy."

　"You need someone to do the dirty work, right?" Xingmo said without hesitation.

　"That's right," Qiuniu nodded. "As a price, I will naturally give you the information about the Haishangyun. At the same time, when you need to be upgraded to an angel in the future, I can provide assistance."

　Oh? You know quite a lot.

　Seeing Xingmo's eyes, Qiuniu chuckled and said:

　"The golden full moon is destined to rise in the sky. I thought this was the consensus."

　"No problem, I like making friends," Xing Mo nodded, "but we have to try to use as few tricks as possible."

　"Don't worry, I will provide all the help I need, I just need to avoid taking the initiative."

　Qiuniu cleared his throat, plucked the strings of the zither casually, and played some notes.

　"The fog of the unknown will continue to spread. Your strategy is simple: to dissolve the fog of the unknown and expose the war to the public before it is covered up."

　"Then, you must kill Doreen DuBois before the fog of the unknown descends again, to prevent her from wiping out history once again."

　"As for how to resolve the unknown..." Qiuniu smiled mysteriously, "The key to exploring the unknown is truth."

　"That little ice dragon has recovered some fragments of her past. Let her experience the mist. She'll gain insights."

　"She's gone," Xingmo muttered. "Okay, one last important question."

　Xing Mo took out a map of Danzhou that he had prepared long ago and spread it out.

　Next to the island where Danzhou is located is a fragmented archipelago called "Quzhou", which is located southeast of Danzhou.

　"Who is the Jiedushi in charge of Quzhou?"

　Xingmo asked the question that she had prepared long ago.

　It is known that Doreen Dubois's confidence in launching a war on behalf of the Black Dragon Society is that as long as Qiuniu also launches a war, the nearby Jiedushi will have a reason to send troops to invade Danzhou because of dissatisfaction.

　Does this mean that Doreen's confidence comes from the governor who "might send troops"?

　After all, if she wasn't 100% sure, how could she treat a Jiedushi as her trump card?

　Since Quzhou is the closest to Danzhou, the governor behind Doreen and even the entire Black Dragon Society is most likely the governor of Quzhou.

　This is the hidden message in Xingmo's words.

　""

　Qiuniu looked straight at Xingmo, as if he was admiring her intelligence, and as if he was carefully considering an explanation.

　But he quickly smiled and gave his answer:

　"The governor of Quzhou is Chiwen, the youngest of the nine sons."

　"He walks in the mist of the unknown, wandering in the black sea."

　“Therefore, he is the one closest to God the Father.”

　The steam train was driving on a muddy road, and after leaving the city, the road became bumpy.

　By the car window, Vivian looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window with a dazed look in her eyes.

　She looked at the scenery for a while, then turned around and asked Ruan Lili who was driving:

　"Miss Ruan, where is the former site of the Ice Dragon family?"

　"It's on the south coast, not too far from Danzhou City," Ruan Lili said. "Miss Vivian, would you like to go and take a look?"

　"No, let's talk about it later."

　Vivian smiled lightly, then turned around and saw Alice fiddling with a pendulum.

　"What is this?" she asked.

　"Xiao Mo lent me this. It's called the Astrological Pendulum. I don't know where she got all these bizarre props from," Alice muttered. "I extracted some Black Dragon Society tattoo isotopes from Lin Yan's exploded arm. I think it might be able to help."

　"Speaking of which, where did Lin Yan go?" Vivian asked.

　That guy offered

　Sacrificing one of his arms to summon the Black Dragon Servant felt like it was worth feeding him a peanut.

　Unexpectedly, Alice shook her head:

　"It seems he was taken away by the Black Dragon Society."

　"Bad." Vivian stuck out her tongue.

　"You two, we're almost there," Ruan Lili said, "It's just ahead."

　The steam train stopped by the roadside, emitting a puff of white smoke.

　Vivian got out of the car first, and the first thing that caught her eye was the bumpy fields and the incomplete outlines of buildings.

　In front of me was a small village, which was now in ruins, as if it had been bombarded by artillery fire.

　Not far away, Mr. Tea was standing on the side of the road, surrounded by several wizards in white robes who were measuring something.

　Seeing Vivian, Mr. Tea walked over quickly and said:

　"Miss Vivian, Miss Alice."

　"What's the situation? Have any survivors been found?"

　"Absolutely nothing, not even any debris left," Mr. Cha shook his head. "I asked residents of several nearby villages, and they said they didn't even know there was a village here."

　There is no doubt that this is the power of the unknown.

　The advance troops of Danzhou were stationed in this village. When the artillery fire from the Howling Fort covered this place, the entire army and the existence of the village were wiped out, leaving no trace.

　"Take us in and take a look." Vivian said.

　"This way please." Mr. Cha bowed slightly.

　The three of them walked through the dilapidated village, and Vivian observed everything along the way: the dilapidated walls were covered with moss, and vines hung down from the eaves that had a huge hole blown out of it; the ground was bumpy and full of weeds; the cowshed had not been taken care of for a long time, and there was no sign of a cow; the rice fields were full of weeds, and it seemed that no one had cleaned them for a long time.

　Apart from being bombarded by artillery fire, this place looks like an ordinary village.

　The only unusual thing is that there is absolutely no sign of any life here.

　"This place looks like it's been abandoned for more than a while..." Vivian whispered.

　"Imagine that one day the Citadel is forgotten by everyone," Alice whispered. "Explorers set foot on unknown ruins, looking at the dilapidated, nameless city, and wondering where its former residents have gone."

　"Don't say that, it's scary!" Vivian silently pulled Alice's skirt.

　"You're a dragon, and you're afraid of this?"

　Alice smiled and raised the astrological pendulum, pouring spiritual power into it.

　The pendulum swung slightly a few times, then pointed in one direction.

　"Mr. Tea, which direction is this?" Alice asked.

　"Let me see... This should be the direction of the village center square," Mr. Tea confirmed after a brief inspection. "Miss Ruan had the Xiaolongs use the wind field to lock up some black miasma over there. If you two want to see it, we can go over there anytime."

　"Of course, that would be troublesome." Alice nodded.

　So, led by Mr. Cha, the group headed to the village center square.

　Ruan Lili was already waiting there. She stood at the edge of the square. Three or four gray-white howling dragons stood on all sides of the square, maintaining the wind field in the center of the square.

　In the center of the square, a black fog dispersed, spreading repeatedly, and then gathering under the wind.

　"That's a black miasma that hides an unknown power," Ruan Lili said. "The shells fired by Howling Fortress contain a large amount of this power."

　Alice raised her pendulum and pointed it at the cloud of mist.

　"It can't be wrong." She put away the pendulum.

　"Is this the kind of thing that corrupts concepts..." Vivian stepped forward, "I feel... very familiar..."

　A familiar scent circulated in the mist, so familiar that Vivian felt her heart tremble.

　It was the same breath she remembered feeling that day.

　This aura also remained deep in her soul, eroding her memory and shattering her past.

　Even though Vivian remembered some of it now, many details were not clear.

　Vivian held out her hand, and a small ball of ice-blue flame rose from her hand.

　She pinched the ball of ice flame and threw it towards the black miasma. The small ice-blue light was quickly swallowed up.

　Vivian felt the presence of the ice flame. At first, she could feel the flame trying to spread, but as time passed, this sense of control became weaker and weaker... and weaker...

　Finally disappears.

　At this moment, Alice behind Vivian patted her shoulder:

　"Vivian, what's wrong?"

　"Hmm? I'm testing the state of Bingyan when he enters the black miasma." Vivian replied.

　"But you didn't throw the ice flame in. You've been standing there stupidly for five minutes." Alice frowned. "Are you sure you did that?"

　Hearing this, Vivian was stunned, and then looked around.

　When she saw Ruan Lili and Mr. Cha both shook their heads, she was convinced that what Alice said was true.

　No one knew she threw that ice flame in there! Except herself!

　This period of time seemed to be erased directly, and then replaced by the history of "Vivian stood there stupidly for five minutes."

　Except for Vivian, who had a close connection with the ice flame, no one realized that this wisp of ice flame had ever existed.

　After briefly discussing her findings with Alice, Alice stroked her chin and concluded:

　"Since you haven't forgotten about throwing out the ice flame, then this unknown effect has no effect.

　The law does not apply to everyone, but... it is attenuated according to the relationship between them?"

　"Based on what I saw in Shura's Dream... this unknown erosion seems to have a process," Vivian said. "Ancient Dragon Hunter was also eroded by the black mist, but his name hasn't been forgotten by everyone. Miss Ruan Lili remembers him, and judging by the situation at the scene, Wanzhe should remember him too."

　"There are two reasons. First, the unknown invasion of the Ancient Dragon Hunter was interrupted by Cain. Second, most of the people who still remember him have a close connection with him." Alice added.

　"On the one hand, it's about the duration of the erosion, and on the other hand, it's about the connection," Vivian nodded. "Since the Ancient Dragon Hunter has returned safely from the fog, does that mean..."

　Vivian glanced at Alice, and Alice almost immediately shook her head:

　"Don't even think about it, Vivian."

　"If we establish a strong connection and possess the means to resist erosion, we can dive into the unknown!" Vivian's voice was filled with excitement. "We might even have a chance to glimpse where the swallowed information has gone! We might even find a way to reverse the unknown!"

　"That's a good idea, but without knowing the specific consequences, we should be cautious," Alice said. "Let's take a long-term view. First..."

　At this moment, the pendulum in Alice's hand trembled slightly.

　She immediately stopped talking, turned her eyes and looked towards an abandoned building on the side.

　"Enemy attack." She mouthed to Vivian.

Chapter 407 When the Wind Howls (Part 4) -4k- (Double Update in One)

　Enemy attack.

　At these two words, Vivian immediately became alert.

　She looked towards the ruins, her eyes narrowed slightly, and pretended to take two steps towards that direction casually.

　Then he condensed a silver sword and slashed fiercely—

　"boom----"

　The house was instantly split into two, and the upper part flew out and exploded into countless pieces in the air.

　A blurry figure ran out screaming, holding her head and looking crazy.

　Alice snapped her fingers, and flames exploded, knocking her to the ground. Mr. Tea immediately stepped forward, drawing his gun and pointing it at the man.

　When he saw the man's face clearly, he was stunned. Then he turned around and waved his hand:

　"Safe, it's the patrolmen."

　Vivian and Alice walked forward and saw a woman in a patrol uniform lying on the ground, mumbling and covering her eyes with her hands.
