Xingmo didn't know what the purpose was, nor did she know how much sacrifice she would have to make.
She hated the uncertainty; it made it impossible for her to make a decision.
Looking at Xingmo's troubled expression, the Saint Sister smiled:
"I didn't know either, so I quit the Guards and exiled myself westward."
"I passed through the flames of war in Faru and made my way to the Citadel. During those countless nights of exile, it was the golden stars in the night sky that guided me."
“Thus I became a nun of the Goddess, and ultimately dedicated my life to the dome.”
Li Liz said, nodding towards Xing Mo:
"But the goddess's dome can't protect everyone, right?"
"..."
After listening to Li Liz's narration, Xing Mo felt as if waves were rolling in her heart.
Facing the sea breeze from the cliff, she took a deep breath and said:
"Thank you, Miss Lilitz."
Li Liz smiled and nodded slightly to Xing Mo:
"Go on with brewing the potion. Thank you for listening to me talk about these past events."
"No, I should thank you. This is very inspiring to me..."
After saying that, Xingmo looked at the crucible - the potion inside was already boiling, with light golden bubbles emerging.
it's time.
Xing Mo took out the vial containing the "divine blood", opened the lid, and poured the blood that was gleaming with light into it.
The moment the blood touched the golden liquid, it reacted violently. Bright red bubbles boiled and spread, and the entire liquid instantly turned into pure red.
Xing Mo took two steps back, drew out his magic wand, played the "Thunder String", and mobilized the powerful spiritual power in the air.
Almost at the same time, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and hit the crucible directly.
"Boom!"
Red smoke rose from the crucible and spread out in all directions, like shackles of life.
This is to use the thunder of spiritual power to shatter the materials in the crucible, and then reorganize and shape them through string magic to obtain the potion.
The preparation of high-level potions basically requires similar techniques, which is why this cliff was chosen for the preparation of potions - because it naturally has a huge amount of spiritual power.
"..."
After the lightning dissipated, Xingmo immediately took out the potion bottle, opened the lid, and muttered ancient sacrificial language.
At the same time, she plucked the strings of her magic wand, creating a vortex of wind at the mouth of the bottle, which drew the air inward.
The red shackles were blown into the potion bottle by the wind, gathering into a blood-red liquid at the bottom of the bottle, slowly filling the bottle.
"call..."
Xingmo put the cork back on the bottle, turned towards the sea, clasped his hands together, and bowed his head to signal.
As expected, the cliffs of the "Sea Tide Church" were full of spiritual energy, and it succeeded in one try.
Xingmo put the prepared potion back into her pocket. She was wearing a combat dress today, which could prevent accidents to the greatest extent.
For example, breaking the potion bottle by bumping into it.
"..."
Xingmo rested for a while, then stood up and prepared to move the crucible back.
"Let me help you." Li Liz stepped forward.
"Okay, please excuse me."
Xing Mo nodded gratefully, and suddenly remembered something:
"By the way, Miss Lilitz, can you do me another favor?"
"Hmm? Go ahead." Lilitz stopped.
"This Sunday, Nefera Beta Magic Academy will hold a 'school festival'. You should know this," Xing Mo said.
"Of course, it's a festival to praise the goddess," Lilitz nodded, "but I usually don't participate. It's a carnival for children."
Xingmo glanced at the sea and saw Alia and several little girls fishing on the sea.
“I’m talking about the kids,” she said.
"You want me to take the children to the school festival?" Lilitz asked.
"No, I want you to keep an eye on the children that day and not let them go anywhere."
Xingmo let out a breath - she didn't want those children to be involved in this.
They truly believe in the "Tree of Life". If they knew that what Xing Mo was going to do might expel the "Tree of Life" from this world, they would probably do everything they could to stop it.
Xingmo didn't want to hurt those children. They were very naive and only saw the gift but not the hidden dangers and consequences.
Xingmo intends to carry the burden of choice alone.
"..."
Li Liz looked at Xing Mo quietly. Her gaze was neither sharp nor calm, but somewhere in between. However, it made Xing Mo feel penetrated.
After a while, Li Liz nodded:
"I understand. Don't worry, I will keep the children safe."
She obviously guessed something, but chose not to ask. She just nodded again and walked towards the church carrying the crucible.
Xingmo turned her head to look at the sea. She saw Alia caught a fish. The children's cheers were swept by the sea breeze and lingered around the cliff.
She grabbed the bottle of potion through her clothes and felt the spiritual power surging in her hands. It was a power that seemed to be able to swallow up mountains and seas.
Xing Mo knew that there was no way to escape anymore, and now was the time to make a choice.
......
In the following week, Xingmo did nothing and quietly enjoyed college life.
As the "school festival" approaches, the atmosphere at the magic academy Nefera Beta becomes increasingly lively. Students hang all kinds of golden ribbons in the corridors and place pine trees decorated with colorful balls and ornaments in the classrooms. The festive atmosphere spreads among the excited whispers.
Aurora no longer had any bad intentions. Except for occasionally going to the library, she spent most of her time in class with Xingmo, and was as active as a kitten seeing a cookie.
Xingmo no longer went to the Citadel. She spent all her time accompanying Aurora, day and night.
In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday.
"..."
In the early morning, Xingmo opened her eyes hazily, and what came into view was Aurora's sleeping face.
She snuggled up to Xingmo's chest like a kitten, her little face rosy and completely defenseless.
She really looks like a white kitten.
"..."
In the dim light, Xingmo reached out his hand and wanted to poke Aurora's face.
At this time, Aurora opened her eyes and looked at Xingmo in a daze.
Then, she let out an "owl" and bit Xingmo's finger.
"What are you doing..." Xingmo smiled.
Aurora sucked it, then released her mouth and licked it gently with her tongue:
"Little Saint, are you trying to assassinate me while I'm sleeping?"
"Don't be as alert as a little animal, okay?" Xingmo rubbed Aurora's head.
"No matter what, today is an important day, we need to be more vigilant~"
Aurora stood up, stretched, and immediately a look of energy and vigor appeared on her face.
"On a day like this, it would be bad if plans went awry~"
"Nothing will go wrong, as long as you follow the rules."
Xing Mo stood up and smiled as if nothing had happened, but her heart was beating fast.
Tonight, she will face off against Aurora.
Whatever happens next, it's time to put an end to it.
"I'm going to make breakfast. We have a seven-day holiday, so you can sleep in a little longer."
Xingmo said this and was about to get out of bed, but Aurora grabbed her wrist.
"No need to make breakfast, let's go out to eat and do some work." Aurora blinked.
"Doing things? What things?" Xing Mo was confused.
Aurora smiled mysteriously, then let go of Xingmo's wrist and began to change clothes.
"After finishing this, I want to go traveling, so let's take advantage of this seven-day holiday."
"Where to travel?"
"Winter County, remember that place?"
Aurora blinked, and her expression softened considerably.
"It's where we first met."
......
10) White Kitten (Part 9) - 4k - (2-in-1)
"The tickets are so expensive... Is it because of the war?"
"It doesn't matter, we have money."
Aurora muttered as she took two steam train tickets from the ticket window and nodded to the conductor with a smile.
Xingmo looked at the railway map above the counter - there were only two usable tracks left, from Academi County through Falu to Winter County on the border of Mortiheim.
"Strange, there are only a few roads left?" Aurora looked at the railway map in confusion.
"Most of them were destroyed by Falu's guerrillas. Their intention was to prevent the Imperials from sneaking into their rear using the railroad tracks and attacking them by surprise."
Xing Mo said, shaking his head helplessly:
"But that's simply not true. The Imperials' steam-powered airships and ironclad warships have completely occupied the coast of the Farodong Sea. If they want to launch a surprise attack from the rear, they can simply make a detour through Academi."
"People always need to do something to show others that they are still fighting." Aurora disagreed.
"That's why tickets are so expensive now. It's because only the tracks near the Sea of Sand are still passable. Those tracks are under the protection of the Empire, so we are not unable to reach the north."
Xingmo said, and took another look at the map: the end of the journey, Winter County, is located on the border of the dead zone "Motiheim", very close to the Caradorans Mountains.
That was where Aurora first landed.
"Why do you want to take me there?" Xingmo asked Aurora.
"Remember that crazy wizard you helped me take down in the harbor?" Aurora looked up. "Isn't he the priest of Wintershire?"
"Yeah, so what?"
Xing Mo remembered the words of the crazy wizard. Through interrogating the guy's spirit, she learned that there was a person in Winter County who "could give powerful strength."
Xing Mo originally planned to wait until everything was over before finding out who that powerful being was.
"So? So use your brain~"
Aurora smiled at Xingmo and handed her two tickets.
"Think about it yourself. If you can't figure it out, I'll take you there after tonight's event."
"Don't tell me riddles..." Xing Mo sighed, "Why are we going there..."
"Don't you want to know the truth? The truth about this world?" Aurora said. "You are now a Six-Stringed One, qualified to witness it with your own eyes. Seeing is believing, so I want you to see it with your own eyes."
Aurora smiled calmly as she spoke:
