The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Okay, my problem, my problem." Ye Xiao shrugged.

He actually thought, could this little guy like him or something? But it seemed unlikely - this was a demon god born with hell and sin, a high-ranking individual with a lifespan of tens of millions of years. Ye Xiao thought he was handsome, but he wasn't the most handsome guy in the universe. How could he be favored by this guy?

More importantly, he didn't seem to have done anything to make this little guy like him, right? The Colosseum, Hope Town, Imperial City Settlement... Most of the time this guy was just a follower who made jokes with him. What kind of emotional foundation could there be?

Based on normal logic, Ye Xiao still believed that Grettia simply had a strong possessiveness for the "soul" she liked. After all, she was a "greedy" demon, and she would naturally get angry when she saw that other people were also interested in this soul.

Fortunately, the Greedy Witch’s way of getting angry in this regard is quite…cute?

"Not sincere at all!" While thinking, Gretia expressed her dissatisfaction with Ye Xiao's remarks, "But I forgive you, otherwise it would seem that I am not as generous as this guy!"

"This guy" probably refers to Ella.

"Thank you, maid, for your magnanimity." Ye Xiao said sincerely.

Perhaps due to the influence of Gratia's little noise, guild players began to stand up in the corridor one after another.

When everyone came out and saw the Saint, Ye Xiao and the little maid, they didn't think too much and just greeted them.

Only Li Cheng, whose face was marked by the pillow, came out and saw Ella and Ye Xiao. He looked at Gratia's complex expression of anger, depression and grievance, then quietly came over and pulled Ye Xiao aside, making eyes at her.

"The car flipped over, do you need help?"

"Go away, look how happy you are." Ye Xiao punched Li Cheng on the shoulder without mercy.

Li Cheng screamed in agony. He didn't know why it hurt so much when his mage buddy's fist hit his warrior's body.

"Come on, come on, maid. It's time to have the combat meeting." Ye Xiao went back and patted the little maid, then carried the girl, who looked like a frightened kitten, away from the corridor entrance so as not to interfere with the passage of others.

As for Ye Xiao and Ella, there naturally was no need for any communication. The two of them walked along the corridor to the hall together tacitly without even making eye contact.

Everyone was on the second floor of the Tide Chamber of Commerce, a townhouse that was different from the luxurious mansions that housed the Grey Wolf Mercenaries. However, with the financial support of the Duke of Haywel's Mansion, its decoration was naturally magnificent.

On the first floor is a huge jewelry and props shop facing the main road. The store is located in the middle of a "Y"-shaped intersection. People are already coming and going on the street early in the morning before the shop opens.

Some members of the Tide Chamber of Commerce were already waiting in the lobby on the second floor in formal attire. When they saw Saint Ella open the door and enter, all of them, young and old, bowed respectfully and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Miss!"

As people from the Duke's Mansion, they naturally prefer to call Ella their eldest daughter rather than the saint.

The members of the Qi Yao Society who followed Ella into the room also felt honored.

"No need to greet you, everyone." Ella waved her hand. "Although the Qiyao Association met Mr. Dolock when we first arrived last night, most of the Chamber of Commerce members here probably haven't officially met the Qiyao Association yet."

After the words fell, Li Cheng and others also exchanged greetings with the members of Tide Chamber of Commerce.

"To make a long story short, I came to Storm Harbor to investigate the disappearance of the Ocean Cathedral's envoys with the Seven Lights Association. However, after my visit to the Ocean Cathedral and the series of events that happened last night, I thought that the risks and hidden difficulties might be greater than expected, so I sought help from everyone in the Chamber of Commerce."

"It is our honor to serve you at Tide Chamber of Commerce, Miss."

"The Qiyao will be at your disposal at any time, Lady Saint!"

Ella first briefly told everyone the information she had learned in the Ocean Temple. In addition to the two people Ella brought with her, a small team of Templar Knights was also stationed there. Later, under the leadership of Ella, they would be mobilized together with the Seven Stars Society to participate in the investigation of the disappearance of the envoys from Horn Village and the search for several suspicious ruins nearby.

Based on the information provided by the Tide Chamber of Commerce, Ye Xiao will investigate the information of the Ocean Temple and the Maltz Family alone in the North City District.

Gratia originally wanted to follow Ye Xiao, but she was afraid that the weird "fake saint" would attack again, so she had to follow the main group at Ye Xiao's request.

Although Ella is now powerful with three divine powers, she feels that she is still inferior to the God of Original Sin. So, just in case, it is safest to let Gratia follow the main force.

Chapter 28: Stubborn Friend

After the meeting, Ella arranged everyone's work in an orderly manner. Those members of the Tide Chamber of Commerce who had only heard rumors about their young lady before were even a little surprised.

Li Cheng was even more surprised. Ella seemed to have a deeper understanding of the functions of each member of the Seven Stars Society than he had imagined.

In addition, with the financial resources and reserves of the Tide Chamber of Commerce, Ella also upgraded the equipment and props of the players of the Seven Stars Association.

Space rings, alchemical potions, higher-level equipment...Except for Freya and Grettia, there are only about a dozen people in the entire guild. Upgrading them all would only cost about 10,000 gold coins. For a young lady who has been spending money all year round, this does not surprise Mr. Dolock, the head of the Chamber of Commerce.

However, Ella still felt a little guilty. After all, this was her family business, and she might have to think of ways to save money for herself in the future.

With this psychological excuse, she didn't feel so guilty after borrowing another 30,000 gold coins from her own Chamber of Commerce for Ye Xiao.

After arranging the matters of the Qiyao Club and the Tide Chamber of Commerce, there was still one person in the Chamber of Commerce mansion who was more troublesome to deal with - that was the only survivor of the Grey Wolf Mercenary Group, Brother Haoming, who was rescued by Ye Xiao.

In the treatment room of the Chamber of Commerce, Ye Xiaoli Cheng and the old man frankly explained the whole story of last night's incident, but it seemed to have no effect.

Haoming just grabbed Ye Xiao's arms, and glanced back and forth between Ye Xiao and Li Cheng with a sad look, "Brother Ye, Brother Li, you have to wake up! That saint has killed so many of my brothers in front of me, how can you still believe her words! !?"

What could Ye Xiao do? Ye Xiao was also helpless.

After what happened last night, Haoming's negative impression of Ella had become completely ingrained, and he had come to regard him and Li Cheng as believers who had been brainwashed by Ella.

As for things like "That's not the same person at all", "The real Saint did not kill those Grey Wolf mercenaries", "Look, you're still alive, doesn't this prove that the Saint really has no intention to kill" ... and so on, these words were completely ignored.

In Haoming's eyes, he only felt that Ye Xiao and Li Cheng were corrupted by the "evil god's poisonous hands". The saying "the two saints are not the same person" was just an obvious lie. He did not die simply because the evil god wanted to corrupt him.

In addition, much of the information Ye Xiao left before traveling through time has been confirmed by Haoming's personal practice, so the most crucial advice has naturally been kept in mind by him.

In addition, Haoming was contaminated along with the Gray Wolf mercenaries and went crazy, so he didn't see the scene where the real Ella appeared later. All he could think of was the tragic scene of the fake Ella slaughtering the mercenaries. Ye Xiao understood that if he were the other party, he would probably do the same.

But now, listening to the tearful calls and dissuasions from my good brothers, this situation really makes me feel a little dizzy.

If they let him go, the secret activities of the Grey Wolf Mercenaries and the Maltz family would be exposed. If they find someone to kill the only survivor of the Grey Wolf Mercenaries, Ye Xiao would be devastated.

If he wasn't let out, in his eyes, he, Li Cheng and the others were all fanatical lunatics who had been brainwashed by the evil god, and there was no way to persuade them.

In desperation, they could only ask their partners in the Chamber of Commerce to temporarily keep Haoming under house arrest. After the danger was eliminated, they would release him wherever he wanted to go.

After Ye Xiao and Li Cheng declared Hao Ming's verbal therapy unsuccessful, they left the Chamber of Commerce's mercenaries outside to guard and left the treatment room.

"But I'm a little confused. Why didn't you resist Ella so much at that time?" Ye Xiao asked Li Cheng in the corridor with some doubt, "I remember I sent you this message too?"

"Hehe, the first time I saw the Saint, I knew that such an angel couldn't be a bad person." Li Cheng replied proudly.

"...My question is something I shouldn't ask you." Ye Xiao was speechless. He could only say that sometimes having shallow thoughts is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Speaking of this, how did you know the information you sent before, including the weapons and strategies for some places in the early stages?" Li Cheng suddenly realized something and asked back.

“Oh, read what others say on the forum.”

"What forum is so awesome?"

“Blockchain Forum.”

"So that's how it is." Li Cheng thought thoughtfully.

Ye Xiao looked at the serious look of this buddy, probably just like the student who seemed to be reading a book seriously, but when called upon to answer a question, he knew nothing about the questions.

……

After noon, Ella led the players of the Seven Stars Association out of the city and went to the Ocean Cathedral to tell her the location of the Horn Village.

It was a horseback ride of about two to three hours from Storm Harbor, so Ye Xiao, who was investigating alone in the city, naturally arrived at his destination - Cliff City - faster.

As mentioned earlier, the Liancheng Bridge is divided into two levels. The upper level is the traffic area for horse-drawn carriages, and the lower level is the market area where vendors from the north and south cities gather. The upper level of the bridge is connected to the top of a flat cliff on the coast of the north city, and the lower level leads to a mountain city area carved out on the inside of the cliff. This place is called the "City in the Cliff".

Although it is located in the mountain and the sunlight cannot be seen, the pyroxene scattered on the top of the cave emits a faint glow, forming a sky like a starry sky. A huge pyroxene vein like a solid waterfall hangs on the rock wall of one side of the city. From a distance, it looks like a huge wave that is about to swallow up the small town, but when it is about to pour down, it is frozen into a white ice sculpture.

These pyroxenes just happen to be the source of light for this urban area. Rows of flat-roofed brick houses are densely distributed in the limited cave space, towering and densely forming a spectacular but cramped building complex.

Ye Xiao was walking in the narrow and dim streets wearing a cloak. Along the way were pedestrians in plain clothes or dancers in revealing clothes. Occasionally, there were some unconscious homeless people leaning against the wall, holding their hookahs and blowing turbid air into the air.

Although the city looks spectacular and the pyroxene waterfall is a beautiful sight, why would a wealthy person choose to live in a cave without sunlight?

The main residents of this city on the cliff are the hard laborers who need to rush to the south city to work every day but cannot afford to live in the urban area near the bridge mouth on the cliff.

Therefore, this is the poorest and most chaotic place in the entire Storm Harbor.

The bright and beautiful harbor eventually hid its filth and dirt inside the mountain.

The Tide Chamber of Commerce also has an informant here who is responsible for collecting underground intelligence from Storm Harbor, but the other party is not considered a member of the Chamber of Commerce and only has a cooperative relationship with the Chamber of Commerce.

It’s a pity that the relationship with the killer guild the Finger Severance has become unfriendly. Otherwise, the Storm Harbor branch of the Finger Severance is also hidden in this place, and Ye Xiao could visit it as well.

While thinking, Ye Xiao stopped in front of a deserted shop with few customers. On the tattered wooden signboard, the words "Magic Grocery Store" were crookedly engraved.

Chapter 29: Magic Grocery Store

As soon as I entered the door, the smell of cheap incense hit me in the face.

The old door panel that was pushed open caused the hanging bell to ring lightly.

The light was a little dim, and the rows of wooden shelves that came into view were filled with things like bird cages and small wooden barrels with holes. If it weren't for the price tags next to them, Ye Xiao would have thought they were just random miscellaneous items placed there.

Behind several rows of shelves, a man who was about the same age as Ye Xiao was lying on a lame wooden chair with his legs resting on a crudely made table. He was reading a yellowed book while swaying rhythmically back and forth, making the chair make a slight "boom" sound.

Ye Xiao walked in front of the other person, and the man seemed to notice that there was a customer in the store. He glanced at Ye Xiao and then shouted into the inner room: "Lian Ni!"

After shouting, the man continued to lower his head and read the newspaper.

The little girl named Lianni ran out of the inner room in a navy blue linen dress. When she saw Ye Xiao, she bowed her head and said, "Welcome, sir!"

The little girl was only as tall as Ye Xiao's waist and looked to be no more than eight or nine years old.

"Hey, buddy, why are you letting your sister entertain customers while you are reading here?" Ye Xiao asked with his hands in his pockets, somewhat curiously.

"You're not going to buy anything anyway," the man stared at the book without looking up, "you're just going to take a look and leave, so what's the big deal?"

“How do you know I won’t buy it?”

"So what are you buying?"

“I won’t buy anything.”

"Tsk." The man turned a page.

Ye Xiao shrugged, glanced casually at the things on the shelf, and then picked up the small wooden barrel with holes all over it.

"Don't blame your brother," the little girl Lianni said timidly, "He did all this."

Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. There were a few mini daggers in the bucket. He took out the dagger and poked it on the back of his hand. He found that if he pressed the button hidden behind the handle, the "blade" would retract into the handle.

"Magic props?"

He probably understood why the store was so deserted. What kind of genius would study magic props in a world with magic?

"It's magic... magic!" The little girl took the bucket and the small dagger from Ye Xiao's hand, put the bucket on the shelf and put her left hand in, "Look."

As she spoke, she used her right hand to hold a small dagger and stabbed it through the hole in the barrel. “My hand is in there, but the knife will go through… ah!”

Ye Xiao looked at the naive little girl speechlessly. She forgot to press the button on the back of the dagger, and tried to poke her hand into the barrel with the dagger, but she couldn't get it in.

Finally, Ye Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, so he reached out and helped her press the button.

"...will go through my hand!" The little girl was delighted, but her brother who had been secretly glancing at her let out a long sigh.

"Sir, so what are you doing here?" The elder brother who was sitting on the chair reading a book finally stood up and walked towards Ye Xiao, "This place is not a place for idle people to come."

"Not to mention idle people, I'm afraid even thieves won't come to your place."

"Wow, thanks, I really don't like thieves."

"Do you know, 'Giovanni'?"

The man was visibly stunned for a moment, and then his expression turned cold, "I don't know him."

"Are you two the only ones in this store?" Ye Xiao looked around and it did not look like there was anyone else in the store.

"We are the only ones here, if you don't want to buy anything, get out."

"Dude, with your service attitude, how did you manage to keep your shop going?" Ye Xiao's wandering eyes fell on the book the man had read before. Because the cover was worn out, he couldn't tell what it was before. Now that he saw the text and sloppy pictures on the inside, he found that it was actually a copy of the mechanical technology of the Kingdom of Valen. "Oh, you are also a mechanic?"

"Lenny, go back to your room." The man suddenly pointed at the little girl and said.

"Oh." The little girl murmured in agreement and walked back to the inner room.

Watching the little girl enter the house, the man grabbed Ye Xiao's clothes angrily, but he found that Ye Xiao was like a stone pillar, grabbing the clothes but unable to pull them, so he gave up and just grabbed the collar and whispered viciously, "You, I don't care which family or gang you are from, I have already told you, I will not do those messy things again!"

"I just want to live a normal life with my sister. Can you please stay away from us?"

"Brother, if I were really a gang member, based on your tone, my hand would have been broken." Ye Xiao said helplessly.

"Do you think you can threaten me?" The man loosened his collar and took a few steps back. "I have kept all those dirty things you don't want others to see. As long as anything happens to me or my sister, someone will help us publicize it, so that the entire Storm Harbor and the Holy Temple can see your stinky faces clearly!"

"If you weren't hiding so far from me, this would sound quite impressive." Ye Xiao straightened his collar.

He was not angry because of what the other party said. People who were struggling to survive at the bottom of society would soon be swallowed up by this cruel world if they did not have some thorns on their bodies.

"Dingling bell~"

As he was speaking, the bell at the door of the store rang again.

This time, three burly men came in.
