The Defeated Saintess Is On A Journey To Tame The Evil God Book 01 Chapter 05.03 - Gold

Chief Laura looked Vivian, who was dressed like a school girl, up and down with cold eyes and said: "Who are you to tell us what to do?"

"Settle down. We are all on the same side." Vivian said in a good-natured manner.

"Wipe that nonchalant look off your face!" Chief Laura's voice rose by a few degrees, and Vivian shrank back behind Alice: "Dragon girl! The people who died are our compatriots, not yours!"

As she spoke, the chief seemed to press forward. At this moment, sparks emerged in front of her.

She stopped and turned and found Alice looking at her, golden light shining in her eyes.

"Are you going to disobey the Church of the Starsea?" Alice asked calmly.

"The power of the police stems from the White Tower Council. In terms of rank, I am not much lower than you." Chief Laura didn't back down.

"Then how many months did you intend to take to find the curse's source? It only took Vivian and me one night to find the grocery store, which was operating in broad daylight." Alice pointed behind her.

Laura was silent for a while, then smiled sardonically: "You know, the guy in the Docklands you forced to detonate, I knew him."

"He was an imperial, true, and he was related to Steam Man, that's also true."

"Yet he was not only a criminal, but also a father of two. He traveled between the Southern and Northern Districts every day, worked two jobs, just to support his two children and pay their tuition in the magic academy."

"Did he go astray because of financial difficulties? It's possible. After all, becoming a Wizard is the only way to change your fortune in the Citadel. He got carried away for a moment and should indeed be put in jail."

Laura paused and then said while stressing each word: "But He Didn't Deserve To Die Like That In An Alley."

"I was in charge of that case. I knew him quite well already, and was practically only a few drinks away from making him spill out the truth. But then you appeared out of the blue and lunged at him, pushing him to the edge and ultimately a gruesome death."

"In the end, you are Saintesses who serve the Goddess, you are Wizards, how could you understand the way we ordinary people do things?"

"Only ordinary people know how ordinary people feel and what they struggle with. It's not something you can understand."

Laura snorted coldly at Alice and Vivian and then walked past them: "Cordon off the scene. I'm going to interrogate the suspects."

The police officers went to work.

Vivian placed her chin on Alice's shoulder, her previously lively expression replaced with gloominess: "Alice, what she said seems reasonable..."

Alice rubbed Vivian's head with her hand: "We have no time to waste. Every day that passes, there may be several more victims. Their way of doing things isn't suitable for the current situation."

Alice lowered her head, the golden light having already disappeared from her dark red eyes: "However, her words reminded me of Mo-mo..."

......

Wednesday evening, Xing Mo pushed open the door of the Stargazing Pavilion as agreed and entered Starflow Horizon.

Lucius Phillips was sitting at the wooden table, gently wiping a picture frame with a handkerchief, a deep look in his lake-blue eyes.

"You've come? You're rather punctual." Lucius raised his head and smiled at Xing Mo, all the while placing the picture frame on the table.

Xing Mo took a closer look at the picture in the frame and saw Miriam—she was smiling, her smile as radiant as the sun.

"Thank you for your hard work. You have to take time from your busy schedule to meet me every week." Xing Mo sighed and put the lunch box she brought for Aurora on the table.

"You should be the one working the hardest, Ms. Xing Mo."

The instructor's deep eyes became clear, and the humorous smile returned to his face.

"Given that the Citadel has not been blasted into smithereens yet, it seems you have formed a good relationship with her?"

"Yes, kind of." Xing Mo sighed.

She began to talk about what happened to her and Aurora this week, including the little lass's behavior and bearing.

Lucius listened quietly, only interrupting occasionally to ask a question in his deep, baritone voice.

After a while, Xing Mo was finally done recounting the week's happenings, then took a deep breath and said: "Anyway, I have a very strange feeling. I... feel like she isn't that bad."

How strange... At first I felt like the lass was an Evil God who blasphemed the Goddess, but now I think she isn't that bad.

Lucius thought for a moment, then nodded: "In the end, Evil God or not, it is just a general appellation we use for unorthodox Gods. Among Saint Angels who serve the Goddess of the Starsea, there are several who have reached thirteen strings. They are genuine Gods. But because they serve the Goddess, they are classified as Angels rather than Evil Gods."

"That is to say, if you have the right boss, you will be called an Angel, and if you are a vagrant, you will be called an Evil God." Xing Mo said.

"Your sense of humor has started to bud." Lucius snapped his fingers, "That's indeed the case. But what I want to say is, although you think she isn't evil, yet you're actually wrong."

"Why?" Xing Mo was startled. She thought the instructor was speaking up for Aurora.

"It is precisely because the Angel of Disaster is not an Angel under the Goddess of the Starsea, but an independent Outer God, that she is defined as an Evil God."

Lucius picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip: "As an Outer God, she is an unstable element. Great power without constrains is sin. Gods bearing this sin are naturally regarded as Evil Gods."

"I think you should understand this very well."

Xing Mo was silent for a while, then nodded.

She couldn't deny that. Even though Aurora was indeed harmless and cute a lot of the time, but her powerful godhead could not be ignored.

Moreover, Xing Mo still didn't know why Aurora wanted to enter the White Tower.

As if he sensed Xing Mo's mood, Lucius said nothing, but instead stood up, poured a cup of tea for Xing Mo, and pushed it to her.

Xing Mo took the cup, lowered her head, and looked at the steam rising from the tea, and then raised her head: "If we use Angel's Tear to seal her godhead, will she become an ordinary person?"

"In theory... it seems like this is indeed the case..." Lucius nodded, "But this has never been put into practice before."

That's good... if there's such a thing... then maybe things can develop in a different direction.

Xing Mo nodded: "In short, I will continue to observe her, try to ask her about her purpose, and... um... try to tame her?"

"Tame her? I can't hold a candle to your sense of humor." Lucius couldn't help but smile, "A Saintess serving an Evil God wants to tame her master?"

Xing Mo also smiled. Upon thinking the Evil God the imperials plotted to summon was just a little loli who throws socks around and rolls around in bed, she felt it was beyond ridiculous.

"Um." Xing Mo sighed helplessly, "The defeated Saintess is on a journey to tame the Evil God."
