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

　Oh, when I feel wronged, I run to my sister, but when I feel wronged, I don’t let my sister take care of me.

　Perlis was rarely so angry that she laughed.

　She shrugged and said:

　"I don't care..."

　He turned his head and looked at the snow-capped mountains again:

　"Where are you going to find information about Najirfar?"

　"That's easy. Just find a gathering place for spirits and capture a small leader to ask."

　Aurora clapped her hands, full of energy.

　"Finally, I can use my authority without hesitation! Although the Kingdom of Confusion was taken away by the little saint, the Tree of Life is my true power!"

　"Look here! Sister, I'll teach you the way of the evil god."

　"Oh~" Perlis said perfunctorily.

　Academy - Steamship Port

　"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tolum."

　Steam airship

　At the port, watching rows of Golden People boarding the airship, Alice turned and smiled at Tolum beside her.

　The former imperial officer looked much better than when they met last time. He was wearing a military uniform, and one could vaguely see his tough temperament that had not yet dissipated.

　"No, don't say that. We are the ones who have been bothering you all along."

　Tolum smiled weakly at Alice and looked up at the huge steam airship.

　The Pushet family's steam airship was built by Johnson's factory. It was specially designed for air transport and could carry 500 passengers at a time.

　Today, Tolum will lead the first group of golden people on an airship to the Academi Territory.

　"There have been more and more conflicts between residents recently, and while there haven't been many serious incidents, we should have evacuated our people earlier."

　Tolum sighed softly:

　"I will complete the infrastructure construction in Academi Territory as soon as possible and allow more Golden People to move here. This will be a good thing for both of us."

　"Yeah," Alice nodded gently, "This is good for both of us."

　During this period of time, Alice saw too much intrigue and too much hatred.

　The People of Gold and the People of Mist were probably simply incompatible and couldn't live together.

　In the past, when the South City was still the residence of the Imperials, the crime rate there was the highest, and most of the crimes were committed by the Imperials. It seemed that the blood of brutality had never left the blood of this race.

　But Alice knew that judging a nation by one side was too narrow-minded.

　She had seen vicious imperial criminals, talented and ambitious people like Luffy, and steadfast allies like Tolum.

　The demise of their country did not defeat them. They still held up the yellow flag to ensure the continuation of their nation.

　"Then, see you later."

　Alice waved.

　"See you later."

　Tolum gave a standard military salute and then walked towards the steam airship.

　More than ten minutes later, four huge steam airships took off from the port and flew towards the Academi Territory against the rain.

　Inside the steam airship cabin, the golden people were assigned positions according to the order of upload.

　Most of them were dressed in rags and had dark eyes.

　The entire cabin was filled with this depressing atmosphere. Tolum patrolled the aisle with a solemn expression.

　His people were suffering, and it hurt him constantly.

　He recalled the day when the emperor summoned him to the colonnade and he thought a death sentence was waiting for him.

　After all, he let the doctor into the Ring City and killed the Immortal.

　The emperor is omniscient and omnipotent, he must know what he is doing.

　That's what Tolum thought at the time.

　But he was not afraid of death. He knew that the doctor was a good man and he let her cross the city in order to save more people.

　Even if I die, I will die to defend the Golden People.

　After the meeting, Tolum knew everything within just three sentences.

　The emperor did know everything he did.

　Even every detail, including what he said.

　But what awaits him is not the death penalty, but...

　"...Come to the garden, an army awaits your command..."

　"...when the Garden is in flames, you will obey the highest command from the Sun..."

　"...save the golden people..."

　Tolum never imagined that he would become an officer from a guard captain in this way.

　It wasn't until the tsunami in Singara that Tolum realized the meaning behind the emperor's words.

　He is the guardian.

　""

　While on patrol, Tolum passed by a little girl.

　He met the little girl's eyes: beneath the ragged yellow hood, the girl's eyes were as beautiful as emerald green.

　Same with that doctor.

　That's the color of Oasis.

　There was confusion and panic on her face, like a homeless bird.

　Tolum reached out and patted her shoulder:

　"Don't be afraid."

　He saw the little girl smiling reluctantly, so he smiled too. He didn't even know when he developed the ability to smile gently.

　As the airship continued to rise, the ground gradually became blurred. The heavy rain shrouded everything in mist, as if lead-gray watercolors were flooding the ground.

　Half an hour after the steamship left the academy.

　""

　Tolum was still patrolling the aisles, making sure no one was rising up to riot.

　Although most of the people on the airship are now Golden People, the crew members are still from the Academy.

　Tolum didn't want to see the riot happen.

　But perhaps, the more he thought about it, the more things would not go as he wished.

　When he was patrolling the front of the airship cabin, suddenly, a man in a yellow robe stood up, covering his head.

　He was mumbling something rapidly, his body shaking continuously.

　"Hey! What's wrong with you?" Tolum stepped forward, alert, "Hey--"

　The next second, black air exploded, and the man raised a dagger at a speed that Tolum couldn't see clearly and stabbed it into the chest of a crew member.

　"Uh ah ah!"

　The Citadel man slid to the ground with a scream, and then the man stood up and ran towards the tail of the plane like crazy.

　Tolum remembers that black energy!

　That's a curse!

　"Don't run!"

　Tolum drew the dagger from his waist and quickly chased after the man.

　The aisle in the cabin is very narrow

　The man running around with a knife was very scary, and the whole cabin was in chaos for a while.

　Tolum was tripped by people who stood up from time to time, and watched helplessly as the man hurt people wantonly.

　He roared, desperately chasing after them, pushing aside the crowd that had risen up due to the riot:

　"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

　After chasing for an unknown amount of time, the stern of the steam airship was not far away.

　Tolum saw the man slash a flight attendant, then slam the door open and disappear behind it.

　Tolum didn't have time to help the stewardess, so he rushed through the door and raised his sword.

　The next second, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then his vision went black and he passed out.

　""

　""

　"...Call the captain..."

　Noisy, indistinct shouting.

　"...It's too noisy! Shut him up!"

　There were flickers of fire, screams, and scorching gases.

　Tolum opened his eyes dazedly, and the first thing he saw was the man lying at his feet.

　His face was not that of a Golden People, but of a Citadel person.

　But it didn't matter anymore because he was dead.

　"...Tolum, who once served in the Ring Guard, later joined the Imperial Army and fought for the Golden King..."

　The clear female voice was mixed with disgust and impatience.

　Tolum raised his head with difficulty and saw a familiar face.

　"I originally thought... that someone like you wouldn't have the face to live in the academy after being defeated..."

　"Are you...Ophelia Thane?"

　Tolum suddenly woke up. He wanted to struggle, but found that his limbs were tied up.

　Ophelia Thane, leader of the Star Followers, stood before him.

　In her hand was a syringe filled with some boiling black liquid.

　It was a curse, and Tolum had seen it many times.

　He lowered his head in shock, glanced at the dead Citadel-born cursed one at his feet, and then raised his head angrily:

　"You...you injected a curse into one of your own? Are you crazy?"

　"Everything is a necessary sacrifice." Ophelia flicked the syringe.

　"What are you going to do!" Tolum tried to struggle, but found himself powerless.

　"It's very simple."

　Ophelia's sharp eyes seemed to nail Tolum to death:

　"Let them see your true colors."

　"Let me tell you the plan: You will be injected with a curse, you will go mad, and the brave crew members will fight you. At the same time, they will use radio and chord magic to transmit visual and audio information to the outside world. This way, the entire academy will see you going crazy and hacking people."

　"You'll fight your way to the cockpit and destroy the control console—don't worry, even if you don't, the airship will crash in five minutes, and then—"

　Ophelia made a finger-spreading gesture:

　"Bang! The airship crashed, and everyone on board died."

　"You are crazy!"
