The Defeated Saintess Is On A Journey To Tame The Evil God Book 01 Chapter 03.06 - Good Sunny Days

At seven o'clock that evening, Xing Mo, panting heavily, climbed the West Tower and knocked on the door of the Stargazing Pavilion.

"Please come in." An overcast male baritone voice came from behind the door.

Xing Mo pushed open the door, and brilliant golden starlight rushed toward her and quickly dissipated.

She turned her head and found that the door behind her had turned into a brick wall, lines of faint golden light flowing on its surface.

"Starflow Horizon can last for up to ten minutes, during which no one will disturb us."

Xing Mo turned and saw the instructor walk toward her while waving his wand. Golden runes flew out from the wand's tip in different directions and suspended in the corners of the room.

That was the string of starlight's domain, and it covered concepts such as protection, walls, and communication.

The instructor's resonance string was the string of starlight, which was a gift from the Goddess, as well as proof of extraordinary talent as string player.

Lucius walked up to Xing Mo and stopped casting, and then froze abruptly.

He saw the bag in Xing Mo's hand—there were two lunchboxes inside.

"As you know, I eat dinner early. There was no need to bring food for me." Lucius felt a bit embarrassed.

"It's not for you." Xing Mo sighed, "It's for that Young Ancestor."

"Ah... I see..." Lucius smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, and then went back to the main topic: "I need to ask you some questions to confirm that you are the Xing Mo I know. You don't mind, do you?"

"Ask away." Xing Mo placed the bag on a nearby desk.

"What were the professions of your parents?" Lucius asked.

"No one knows this, but I am a survivor of a shipwreck that took place in July 3136. In fact, I'm the only survivor. I was rescued while still an infant. As for my parents, their identities can't be traced back." Xing Mo replied calmly.

Lucius nodded and continued to ask: "In your sixth academic year, what were the courses you failed?"

"Firstly, this is my fourth year as a student." Xing Mo carried on, "Secondly, I completed enough credits to graduate in the third year. I didn't fail a single course."

Lucius nodded again and then asked: "Who is your fiancée?"

"Enough! Instructor!" Xing Mo shouted, "I don't have a fiancée!"

"Ha-ha-ha... I'm sorry, it was just a joke. I'm certain it is you..." Lucius waved his hand and smiled.

With Lucius's smile, the golden light suspended on the ceiling dissipated by a lot. Xing Mo sighed involuntarily.

After all, those were attack type string magic. They were obviously prepared to eliminate Xing Mo.

Starflow Horizon was not only used to shield their conversation, but also to contain anything that might happen inside.

As expected, Instructor is really cautious...

Lucius lowered his head and straightened his bow tie, suddenly becoming more serious: "How is the situation?"

"I was branded. Furthermore, we formulated a contract, which stipulates that she won't harm anyone at will, while I will assist her in infiltrating the Citadel and stealing the Goddess's secrets." Xing Mo replied.

"That doesn't sound too bad. But judging from her ability to play thirteen strings, she is indeed a God. Her stay in the Citadel is a great danger." Lucius said in a low voice.

"Actually, she has the disposition of a child, or at least that's how she appears to be." Xing Mo said, "I can restrain her for a certain period of time."

"However, the nature of an Evil God is chaotic and irregular. We don't know what she will do." Lucius nodded, "Has she told you what secrets she wants to steal?"

"Not yet. I will try to inquire about it." Xing Mo said.

"Very good. To be able to pacify her and prevent her from causing further destruction, you have already contributed quire a bit to the Citadel." Lucius nodded.

The two fell silent for a moment. Starlight flowed through the sealed off Stargazing Pavilion, with the golden light symbolizing the Goddess falling into Xing Mo's dim eyes.

"I wonder if this counts as sacrilege against the Goddess." Xing Mo said in a quiet voice, "I'm assisting a blasphemer..."

"You have done your duty, that's all." Lucius pulled up a chair and pointed, "Sit, I have something to show you."

Xing Mo sat down on the chair and pulled her black hair behind her ears.

Lucius rummaged through a pile of documents on the desk and finally fished out a letter, which he tossed to Xing Mo.

Xing Mo took the letter, opened it, and found newspaper cutouts—black and white figures making ferocious faces at the camera—inside.

These people... why do they look familiar?

Xing Mo quickly turned over a cutout, and then her pupils shrank: "These people... are...!"

"They are the people who responded to the Evil God rank crisis together with you." Lucius's voice was solemn, "They were prisoners of the empire. After being pardoned by Gold Monarch, they became part of the Undying."

The gazes of the two met, and Xing Mo felt a chill well up in her spine and spread throughout her body.

In fact, Aurora's descent was initially classified as a mythical creature rank crisis, not Evil God rank crisis.

The information came from the Machiavellian Empire's House of the Undying, which was an elite intelligence agency of the empire that established a deep-rooted intelligence network throughout the entire Vestan Continent.

The information indicated that a mythical creature was about to break through Mordheim's boundary and enter the empire. The eternal permafrost over there had numerous beings from ancient times sealed, and they would break through the containment from time to time. The Citadel had been responding to similar threats for over a century.

Mythical creatures breaking through the containment often meant uncontrollable outcomes. Therefore, whenever such a situation occurred, the Citadel would dispatch Bell Protectors—Saint level Wizards who mastered five string magic or higher.

During one such occurrence, Xing Mo met up with these imperials, and they headed toward the Karadorran Ridge together.

However, when they reached their destination, the House of the Undying suddenly announced that the mythical creature rank threat had been upgraded to Evil God rank.

The Citadel promptly dispatched Frostfire Vivian as reinforcement. But by the time she rode her Dragon to the Karadorran Ridge, the battle was over.

These imperials were declared dead, while Xing Mo went missing. And the Evil God vanished without a trace.

"I thought you were dead. But you weren't." Lucius murmured, "After I received your letter, I started to search for information about the banishment ceremony. At the same time, I discovered many inconsistencies."

"Firstly, those imperials were all death row prisoners. They were Undying in name only. In fact, they were just disposable pawns and didn't possess much combat power."

"If the imperials really wanted to stop a mythical creature, they would never have sent such a weak force. They would have sent at least three Undying at your level."

"You mean... their intention was to let a mythical creature break through the containment all along?" Xing Mo murmured.

"No, it's worse than that. I'm afraid they wanted to let an Evil God descend." Lucius uttered.

He stood up and waved his wand, and golden starlight formed the shape of a tall tower in the center of the room.

"The White Tower?" Xing Mo raised her head.
