The Villain Saint is my secondary account

The World Tree System gave me a normal level for the difficulty of this mission, it's really amazing.

Ye Xiao frowned slightly. The intelligence gap was too big and the opponent was well prepared. A hasty encounter like the current one would be very disadvantageous to him.

Even though the opponent really couldn't do anything to him during his beast transformation, it could only last less than half a minute.

However, it was not difficult for him to leave. At worst, he could use Mammon's Crown to burn the few gold coins he had saved with great difficulty. It would not be difficult to use Osmond's Holy Flame to break through the green cage outside.

But Ye Xiao was a little unhappy. He had used all his ultimate moves but still could only run away in shame.

But it is unwise to fight forcefully. As for those few people, since they cannot be saved... we can only forget it.

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a faint vibration in his pocket.

It was a bit difficult to reach into the pocket with two big claws, so Ye Xiao used his staff to expend some magic power to pull the things in the pocket to his eyes.

Stretching out a claw in front of him to defend against the attacking weak vines, Ye Xiao used his beastly dark vision to take a look at the thing that was pulled out by magic - it was the note from the Five Finger Tavern again, with new words appearing on it.

"I've found the real body. Help me attract her attention."

Ah, Artolina, you are finally useful!

It’s not easy to attract attention. Ye Xiao tore off the vines around him, raised his head and let out a deafening howl.

"Ouch——!!!"

This is also a skill that comes with Cynthia's beast transformation, which can cause mental shock to the creatures around who hear the wolf howl.

It’s just that Ye Xiao always felt that this trick was a bit stupid, and he had never encountered any suitable usage scenarios, but now the situation is unusually appropriate.

Chapter 86 Idiot

The shrill howling echoed in the closed room. Even the elves and the old woman who were affected by the power of the Moon Goddess could not help but cover their ears. The exquisite puppet stood there in a daze for several seconds, and the vines that were waving around it also came to a brief stop.

The effect was surprisingly good. Ye Xiao wondered what it would be like if Ella used this skill.

But even though he was thinking, he didn't stop. He rushed to the puppet and slapped it, breaking it into pieces.

"Mr. Ye really likes to vent his anger on the doll." The other party seemed to have recovered from his anger. He watched Ye Xiao smash the doll and continued to sneer, "But don't worry, Mr. Ye, I can play with you like this all day long."

The vines gathered together again and formed a new doll not far away.

But the puppet had just taken a few steps when its usually steady, childish voice suddenly trembled: "What!? How did you…"

He only said half a sentence and then disappeared as if the connection was suddenly disconnected.

The restless vines around it lost their vitality and fell to the ground, crackling like noodles in a pot.

It looks like Artolina succeeded.

Ye Xiao let out a long breath and turned his gaze towards the elf and the old woman with white light in their eyes, but it seemed that he didn't need to take any more action. It was as if a breeze blew by, and the white magic power lingering on the two of them seemed to be blown away from their bodies, turning into rising mist and dissipating in the air.

After canceling the beast transformation spell, Ye Xiao took two steps forward and supported the elf and the old woman who had fallen down.

Then he took out a knife and broke open several other rattan balls, also found some unconscious people dressed in luxurious clothes. I wonder if they were all the girl's family members.

The giant that the tree house transformed into lost control and stood crookedly on the ground. Ye Xiao used the teleportation staff to transport the unconscious people on the fifth floor to the ground outside in batches. By the way, he also brought out the body of the girl's mother on the third floor.

The little girl standing next to Gretia rushed forward crying, but Ye Xiao noticed that the little girl's clothes, which were washed white, were obviously not of the same quality as those worn by her relatives.

Whether it was the old lady and other unconscious people rescued from the sepak takraw, or the clothes worn by the deceased girl's mother, the clothes were much more high-end than those worn by the girl.

This family seemed to be quite wealthy, but they let a girl sell flowers on the street all by herself? Ye Xiao sensed something was wrong.

Two sounds of "click" and "click" were heard. The cage formed by the green vines became fragile dead vines after the tree man lost his vitality and was easily cut open by a short knife.

A tall woman in a burgundy leather coat walked slowly out of the gap in her long boots, holding in her hands a girl in a black robe who was tied up tightly with hemp ropes.

"Atolina, you betrayed the organization and you will die sooner or later!" The girl's small and pretty face had a ferocious look. Even though she was tied up like a dumpling, she was still twisting her body and struggling.

"Then remember to bring a bunch of roses when you worship me. I like roses." Atolina was not annoyed. Her voice was still as mature and charming as ever. She turned her charming eyes under her hibiscus purple hair to Ye Xiao, "You did a good job. I believe you are right, little brother."

Ye Xiao shrugged, "I should have just treated it as an assassination commission."

"Don't worry." Atolina threw the girl in her hand to the ground with a snap. "I'm always very good at judging people."

"Then why didn't you see that there was a trap here?" Ye Xiao curled his lips, "You almost got me killed, you know."

"Hahahaha, this is indeed my fault." Atolina smiled slyly, and then threw a ring to Ye Xiao, "Then take this as my apology, and also as a reward for helping me."

"You want to get rid of me with just a space ring..." Before Ye Xiao could finish his words, his spiritual power pulled out a lot of equipment and scrolls and books from the ring.

Wait, these are... skill books?

so much!??

Atolina was not surprised to see Ye Xiao's stunned expression. "I plan to take Xia to live in seclusion abroad. I probably won't be able to use what I have accumulated in the organization over the years. I made these before in order to find an apprentice to inherit them, but now that I am leaving the organization, these are no longer necessary."

"You came to Storm Harbor to ask about the organization's contact earlier, but now you have been made hostile to the organization for no apparent reason. This should be considered as some apology from me."

Ye Xiao used his mental power to search carefully. From equipment to skills, it basically contained the complete inheritance of a certain assassin route. He didn't know what level it could be cultivated to, but he knew very well that this Atolina would be a saint-level assassin in the future.

Is this something you can get from a normal mission? Even if Artolina is not yet at the Saint level, the things she teaches her will definitely not be bad.

"...How about I help you kill the finger-severed man who is chasing you?" Ye Xiao's throat moved slightly, "Otherwise I won't feel at ease."

"Haha little brother, I'm glad you like my gift, but this is not necessary. The organization doesn't even know I've left yet."

"Ah?" Ye Xiao glanced at the girl tied up on the ground. "If I didn't know, how could this guy use your message note to ambush me?"

"That's a long story." Atolina's pretty eyebrows slightly frowned, as if she was a little helpless. "I'm sorry, by the time I found out that Froni had stolen a piece of my tobacco, it was already a little too late. Her ability is indeed difficult to deal with without preparation."

"And you, damn it! If it weren't for you, Atolina wouldn't have left!" The girl on the ground said viciously to Ye Xiao.

"Okay... I think I understand." Ye Xiao's mouth twitched. He guessed that this guy wanted to secretly kill him and the little girl without Atolina's knowledge, so that Atolina would lose the reason to betray the organization. "Then who is this little girl? Why does your organization want her life so much... I politely asked the two members of the finger-severing group that we captured this morning, but they only knew that this was the organization's order but didn't know the reason."

"Oh, I don't know about that either." Atolina smiled.

"Huh? You don't even know what you're doing this for?" Ye Xiao's eyes widened.

"That's a good question, hahaha." Atolina smiled slightly, "I don't know why a little girl abandoned by her family suddenly became the target of assassination by the organization today."

"I've killed so many people before, and I don't think I would do anything stupid just because of boredom."

“Sister Atolina!” The little girl raised her head from her mother’s body, noticed Atolina and ran over crying, “Sister Atolina…my mother…my mother…woooo…”

Atolina stroked the girl's head, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes. "I thought you could tell me the answer, Mr. Ye. Why did you save her?"

Ye Xiao shrugged and remained silent.

"Look," Atolina said softly, "maybe this is stupid."

Chapter 87 The Prophet

"Hey, why are you swearing at me!" Ye Xiao said angrily.

As he was talking, the unconscious girl's family member finally opened their eyes, "Where is this place?"

The anxious little girl Xiaya ran up to him, but she didn't expect to be scolded: "Bad luck, where did you come from!"

"Stay away from me, you jinx!" "Get out of here!"

These relatives, who were dressed in fancy clothes, didn't seem to like girls.

So much so that Ye Xiao even regretted having saved these people just now.

"What on earth is this place?" The girl's grandmother cursed, pushed the little girl away, and looked at Ye Xiao, "I understand, did you team up with this jinx to kidnap us and extort our money?"

"I tell you, my daughter is the Baroness. I advise you to let us go back as soon as possible!"

"Your daughter...are you referring to that one?" Ye Xiao pointed at the corpse on the ground.

The girl's grandmother looked in the direction where the finger pointed, was stunned at first, then suddenly let out a scream and fainted from fright.

"Murderer! You murderer!!" Another young woman, who was not sure if she was a relative of the girl, pointed at Ye Xiao tremblingly.

Ye Xiao could only look at Atolina helplessly.

Artolina smiled and said, "That's how their family is. Ever since Xia's father died and her mother married Baron Hansen, she was kicked out of the house... After all, the Baron would never tolerate his woman having someone else's child."

She walked up, took the helpless little girl's hand, and gently flicked her hand. A thin needle that was too thin to be seen with the naked eye pierced into the relative's neck.

With a dull "click", the woman fell to the ground and immediately fell into a baby-like sleep.

"Leave the finishing touches to me. Don't worry, they won't remember what you look like when they wake up." Atolina shot down the girls' family members who were fleeing in panic one by one, and even gave an injection to Florni, who was tied to the ground and cursing.

"By the way, is this the apostle of the Full Moon Cult?" Ye Xiao scratched his head as he looked at the girl who was sleeping soundly on the ground. "Just now when I was upstairs, I saw that elf was possessed by the power of the Moon Goddess."

"Oh, you actually know about the Full Moon Cult." Atolina was a little surprised. "The organization and the cult are indeed related, but Furuni is not an apostle or hunter of the cult. She should just have borrowed the abilities of the apostles who came to visit the organization in the imperial city, just like how she controlled those vines. In fact, it was Beatrice who borrowed the elven magic from her - ah, that is the elf lady who fainted."

Being able to borrow contract spells and elven magic... so perverted?

However, Ye Xiao heard something else from Atolina's words, "The Full Moon Cult has come to the Imperial City?"

"Well, the person who came is said to be their priest." Atolina nodded, "However, with my position in the organization, I can't get more specific information, but it is very likely that this is the reason why Xia was hunted down... I don't know if you know that the bishop of the Full Moon Cult is good at prophecy?"

Ye Xiao recalled carefully. He remembered that before beating Wengerman at Liangqiu Ridge, Wengerman seemed to have mentioned the following sentence to Ye Xiao:

"Your arrival even forced the cult to instruct me to snatch the Miracle Blood in advance, so that Cynthia could sense the intervention of the power of the outer gods and be born early."

At that time, Ye Xiao felt a little strange. Why did the Full Moon Cult instruct Wengerman to speed up the action of snatching Hyde's blood when he just went to Liangqiu Village and did nothing?

However, the battle was about to break out at that time, so he did not ask about such small details. Now it seems that the prophecy of the sect played a role.

Ye Xiao nodded.

"I don't know much about mysterious spells like prophecy and astrology, but Beatrice once told me that Xia's fate was very messy, which made it impossible for her to make a reasonable divination for Xia." Atolina continued, "She said that she had never seen such a person in the past few years, but for some reason, there seemed to be more and more of them recently, so I didn't take it seriously at the time. I don't know if this is the reason... Of course, this is just my guess. As for why the higher-ups killed such a homeless little girl, I don't know either."

Those people whose destinies are messed up are probably the players. After all, they are visitors from another world, and their destinies cannot possibly follow the normal future of this world.

From this perspective, players are the nemesis of prophecy mages and astrologers.

But it was very strange that Xiaya's fate was messed up as an aboriginal. Ye Xiao looked at his task that had been declared "completed" by the system again, and after reviewing the text on it, he suddenly found something very inconsistent.

"Broken Ring-Virgo"?

Putting aside the meaningless mission name, "Virgo" seems to be the zodiac constellation of the blue planet?

Although Ye Xiao had no intention of learning the backward and ancient astronomy of this world, he knew that the star map of this world was completely different from that of the Blue Planet.

Is it a coincidence that the constellations have the same names?

"Hey, Lady Gratia." Ye Xiao planned to ask the ancient demon lady next to him.

"Why, have you finally remembered me, the maid?"

"Why do you sound so weird?" Ye Xiao ruffled the maid's pink hair, forcing her to chase after his arm and bite it. "Where is Virgo in this world?"

"Virgo?" The maid pouted and straightened her beloved hair. "You heard this name from some low-quality astrologer. There is no Virgo in this world."

That doesn't seem to be a coincidence.

Ye Xiao rubbed his chin. The task names given by the system are usually not aimless, and most of the time they are quite straightforward - such as "Cleaning the Basement", "Ancient Tomb", and "Land of Hope".

I just don’t know if this “Virgo” represents this little girl whose destiny is messed up, or something else?

Looking at the tall back of Atolina holding the little girl, he thought that in the previous life, the future Atolina did not retire, but became the leader of the finger-severing people.

Is there any connection between them?

Ye Xiao vaguely felt that his brain had captured something, but what he saw now was only the tip of the iceberg. Thinking more deeply about it would only add to his troubles.

So he said goodbye to Atolina and returned to the imperial city with the little maid.

In any case, his mission was completed here, and he received the reward from Atolina, so it should be considered a happy ending.

……

"Teacher, this way this alien visitor won't bother us anymore, right?"

"Invisible threads of fate can easily affect our vision of the future. Excluding them is the easiest way."

"Thank you for your teachings, teacher." The blond man folded his hands. "Teacher, you asked me to ask the Holy Maiden of Light why she intervened in this matter, but after seeing her, I found that her fate was also unobservable... Her fate was clearly visible two weeks ago, why is this so?"

"They are all unobservable. Do you notice the difference?"

“Hmm…” The blond man closed his eyes and thought carefully. “If the fate of the Negative Ring is an existing thread that is intertwined and presents disorder and chaos, then the fate of the alien visitor is like a newborn state that is being woven but not yet completed. The Saint’s is the strangest, like a black hole without any extension of the fate thread… It feels to me as if… she doesn’t exist in this world at all.”

A gentle chuckle echoed in the room.

Chapter 88: Duel Day

Time came to the second day.
