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

　"Ka...ka...ka..."

　When Senator Arnold regained consciousness, he heard the distinct sound of dirt splashing.

　He struggled to turn over, and a ray of pale blue moonlight shone into his eyes.

　The salty sea breeze blew, and he suddenly realized that his face was pressed against the sand, and there were shadows all around him.

　"You...are Xing Sui?!"

　Arnold's eyes widened and he shouted:

　"You kidnapped me? Ophelia kidnapped me? Haven't I given you everything I have?"

　"Hush, Mr. Arnold, don't be so loud."

　A soft female voice made Arnold look up suddenly and found Ophelia sitting next to the carriage not far away.

　Under the moonlight, the girl crossed her legs, and her slender legs wrapped in black stockings swayed in the moonlight.

　There was a pile of bills on her lap, and she was flipping through them.

　"If you keep making noise, the Golden Citizens in the North City will be woken up. It would be terrible if they die without any witnesses."

　"Ophelia! What are you doing?" Arnold looked at Ophelia as if she were a devil. "Didn't I vote for you? Didn't I give you control of my factory? I have no other way to make money! I can't give you anything you ask of me anymore!"

　Hearing this, Ophelia turned over lightly and got off the carriage.

　She walked over to Arnold, leaned over, and placed the bill on his chest:

　"You did give me the factory... but you took everyone away. Where's your chief researcher? Where's his team?"

　"I don't know, I'm not aware of it!" Arnold insisted.

　"But they know," Ophelia shook her head. "We stopped the train to Fallu at noon today. Do you want me to continue?"

　Hearing this, Arnold's eyes showed real fear.

　"No...no, please listen to my explanation...! You..."

　"Is the pit dug?" Ophelia turned her head.

　"Almost there! We should be able to solidify this beach when the tide comes in!"

　"Time is running out." Ophelia looked at Arnold with a smile.

　"We need money too! Miss Ophelia... Oh no, sir!" Councilman Arnold wailed. "Can't I just give you the factory? I'll go to Fallu and start a small business to support my family!"

　"There's a holy war going on in the other side, and you're still thinking about supporting your family?" Ophelia kept smiling. "Then I wish you happiness."

　She stood up, looked down at Senator Arnold who kept begging, and shook her head slightly.

　"Please... No, haven't all the resources for the Holy War been given to you?"

　"I am not a fool like Johnson. He deserved to die! But I really gave you all my wealth! I just -"

　Before Arnold could finish his words, Ophelia kicked him and pushed him directly into the pit.

　Without giving Arnold a chance to scream, Ophelia waved her wand and the soil covered the pit.

　The waves rolled over the beach, covering the girl's ankles. The light of the crescent moon cast her silhouette on the waves, shattering it.

　"Which number on the list is this?" Ophelia turned her head.

　"The fifth one, Miss Ophelia."

　"That's about it. The rest should be able to calm down..."

　Ophelia turned around, lit a cigarette and put it to her lips.

　As a girl with a relatively innocent appearance, it was a bit incongruous for her to hold a cigarette in her mouth.

　"The Star Angel gave me a decree that I cannot harm kind people," Ophelia said softly, "but look... these five council members we killed... was I ever stopped by fate?"

　There was deep disappointment in her eyes.

　The pastor lowered his head, sighed softly, and said:

　"Perhaps human nature is bound to be evil, Miss Ophelia. As long as the cold wave does not blow south of Vista, they will never support us with all their strength."

　"Yeah... because they never know what to do and what not to do."

　Ophelia broke her half-smoked cigarette, threw it on the beach and stepped on it.

　She looked at the outline of the northern city, bleak and gray:

　"Let's arrange for Mr. Chief to move into the factory. I heard the battle on the Imbrium Glacier is over, so we need to send supplies there tomorrow."

　"And... the Pushet family is still unwilling to cooperate?"

　"Ms. Diana still has no intention of meeting us. Similarly, Miss Alice has refused to talk to us." The pastor bowed slightly.

　"Where has she been lately?" Ophelia asked.

　"Nefera Beta, study the Book of Hell."

　"Besides that, they're of no use..." Ophelia's eyes grew colder. "Prepare for the next phase of your plan, don't forget. Keep an eye on Alice and don't let her do anything extreme again."

　"I will."

　The pastor nodded and smiled slightly:

　"We still have to eliminate all unstable factors as much as possible, right?"

　"Of course, after all..."

　Ophelia looked across the sea, imagining

　The cold wave surges in:

　"For the Goddess of Star Sea..."

Chapter 556 Dusk (Part 2) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

　After delivering the Book of Hell to the High-Level Alchemy Workshop and arranging the ritual, Alice returned home.

　She hadn't been home to rest for several days, so she decided to sleep in the morning and go to the alchemy workshop in the afternoon.

　However, when Alice opened the door, she found a small figure waiting for her.

　It's Little Faye.

　She sat on the sofa, hugging a pillow, her eyes slightly squinted, her head nodding, and she looked like she was about to fall asleep at any moment.

　As the door opened, Little Faye looked up.

　The moment she saw Alice, the fatigue on her face disappeared.

　"Mother...!"

　Little Faye jumped off the sofa, ran to Alice in two or three steps, and then threw herself into her arms.

　Alice picked up the little girl and gently ruffled her long, soft white hair.

　"Baby, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

　"Waiting for Mom to come home..."

　Little Faye rubbed her eyes and immediately leaned her head on Alice's shoulder.

　"Mom hasn't been home for several days, I miss..."

　As soon as these words came out, Little Faye's head felt like a branding iron, and Alice felt a sharp pain in her shoulders.

　This bitterness flowed all the way to the bottom of her heart. She couldn't help but blink her eyes and whispered:

　"Mom is busy, I'm sorry..."

　"Where's Vivian?" Little Faye looked up. "Didn't she say she would be back soon? I didn't even see Vivian when I left..."

　For some reason, little Faye only calls Alice "Mom" now, and calls Vivian just "Vivian", which always makes Alice laugh.

　She gently pinched the little guy's face and said:

　"Vivian is...protecting us. She went to fight the bad guys."

　"She should be back soon," Little Faye said seriously, "The bad guys can't beat Vivian. Vivian is very strong."

　"Yeah, the bad guys can't beat Vivian."

　Alice kissed Little Faye on the forehead, then put her down and took her hand.

　"Come on, mom will make you a bowl of soup."

　"Mom's soup is delicious!"

　Half an hour later, in the dark restaurant, Alice lit a candle.

　Beside her, little Faye was wolfing down a bowl of vegetable soup.

　Alice looked at the greedy little dragon with a smile, and gently rubbed her head.

　"Eat slowly."

　"Gululu..."

　Little Faye didn't listen to what Alice said. She just ate without stopping, as if she hadn't eaten for days.

　Alice suddenly realized that she hadn't been with the little guy for a long time.

　She was always busy, and Vivian was always busy too, so the little one could only play with Alice's sisters at home.

　But the sisters can see their mother at night, but little Faye cannot.

　Alice suddenly felt sad and uncomfortable.

　She also wanted to spend more time with little Faye, but she didn't have the capital.

　The world is changing, and if she doesn't step forward, countless mothers will never be able to hug their children again.

　She couldn't put little Faye in a world like that.

　""

　Suddenly, Alice's mind flashed back to Ophelia's heartless face.

　Now, it is impossible for her to get away and interfere in the parliament, and the victory news of the battle of the Rain Sea Ice Field has come from the other side, which means that no matter what means Ophelia used to do, she did it well.

　The White Tower Council is indeed supporting the Holy War with unprecedented efficiency.

　Even though... many people died because of this...

　Overturned carriages and exploding steam airships.

　Alice recalled the elegant and easy-going middle-aged man sitting behind the desk.

　Councilman Johnson was the first victim of Ophelia's purge.

　Then came Tolum, the innocent golden people...

　Recently, there have been reports of many White Tower members disappearing, but since the parliament has not been held for a long time, no one has been able to verify it.

　Alice didn't have time to verify it.

　She had a premonition that even if Xiaomo had cast a forbidden spell on Ophelia, and even though the power in the academy was now highly unified, Ophelia would sooner or later take action against the Pushit family.

　Looking at little Faye wolfing down her food in the dark, Alice felt a surge of uneasiness in her heart.

　No... No... We can't really let Ophelia take power...

　Those who need to unite...must unite...

　Suddenly, Alice touched the cross pendant on her chest.

　Xinghai Church.

　Well... at least, we need to control the Xinghai Church a little...

　After all, most people in the church are outside the parliament and cannot be completely controlled by Ophelia.

　""

　While thinking, Little Faye quickly finished the soup.

　The little guy stretched out his hands sleepily, asking Alice to hold him.

　Alice smiled slightly and picked up little Faye, feeling the softness of the little thing in her arms.

　With a flick of her wand, the soup bowl flew into the sink, and the water began to clean itself.
