The Defeated Saintess Is On A Journey To Tame The Evil God Book 01 Chapter 06.11 - Whale Song

Xing Mo quickly scanned her surroundings and, after confirming that there was no one else around, let out a long sigh of relief.

She almost forgot, but Aurora's authority included dreams. From the very beginning, it was all a dream.

This way Aurora was able to fully understand Aimer's abilities and gauge her level of threat in one go. From now on, she could handle her without effort.

Why does this feel so familiar... Xing Mo experienced a discomfort in her stomach.

At this moment, Aimer also awoke from her slumber. She promptly realized what had happened and tried to struggle, but the vines had her tightly bound to the seat.

The vines gagged her mouth, preventing her from uttering a single word.

Seeing her making a sorry sight, Aurora covered her mouth and giggled: "How fascinating. And here I was wondering why there wasn't a single decent Nature Spirit in Nevirabeta Magic Academy."

"Turns out a Nature Spirit was hiding in the library."

So Ms. Aimer is a spirit born from the library... no wonder it is said she read countless books. She is a consciousness born from the books.

As Xing Mo was thinking to herself, Aurora extended her hand, bringing her fingers together: "Alright then, I'm going to ask you some questions now~"

At the same time, Aurora took Xing Mo's hand, and the consciousness of the Tree of Life awakened.

Before Aimer could understand what was happening, the vines binding her suddenly tightened, and a powerful attractive force broke out—

"Mmmph!" Aimer's eyes rolled back, her body trembling. She felt the knowledge in her mind being extracted and channeled to Aurora through the vines.

Ah... it's the first time I'm seeing someone else undergo this torment... Xing Mo smiled bitterly and closed her eyes.

Then, the darkness in her vision was torn apart by green light, revealing a series of scenes.

Bishop Freyr Sunlight walked into the great library, an uneasy expression on his face.

He sat down opposite Aimer and muttered in a hoarse voice: "I need the book True Vision."

Aimer looked up, her blue eyes reflecting a panic-stricken face.

She casually waved her wand, and a book floated out from amid the countless books and landed on the desk.

Bishop Freyr wanted to grab the book, but Aimer placed her small hand on it first: "The contents of this book concern glimpsing God's true form. I would like to know, what do you need it for?"

Bishop Freyr instinctively wanted to refuse to answer, but then looked into Aimer's deep, ice-like eyes, realizing he couldn't contend against her.

Consequently, he uttered in a low voice: "... yesterday, he came to me. He told me the truth about the Starsea Spring and asked me to see it with my own eyes."

"... I have to see it. What the guy said must be nonsense, complete nonsense...!"

"... if they really did such a thing to the Lord's spring, then I must... must uphold the Lord's justice..."

After Bishop Freyr finished speaking, Xing Mo felt the scene turn blurry and distorted, like a swirling vortex.

This vortex quickly expanded, forming another scene.

That was a string magic formation shrouded in deep darkness, with complex symbols and interlaced strings filling the darkness.

It was Merlin's Superstring Magic Formation.

"Oh, I found it, I found it. Now, tell me, how do I enter that magic formation?" Aurora's voice echoed in the void.

So that's why she let Aimer see her true form... it was all in order to find a way to enter Merlin's Superstring Magic Formation.

Too lazy to read herself, she decided to read Aimer's mind, who had read all the books in the library?

How wicked...

As Xing Mo was thinking this, the scene before her once again turned into a vortex and became blurry.

"Ah... there seems to be a lot of information... has Ms. Aimer read this many books?"

"Wow... you really are something else..."

"Then I'll have to trouble you. I'll have to read your memories for ten days to half a month~ Once I'm done, I'll let you go~"

The darkness dispersed. Xing Mo opened her eyes and saw Aimer still twitching, enveloped by vines.

Aurora snapped her fingers, and the vines dragged the petite girl into a pale green space, and she vanished.

"Sigh, reading many books isn't always a good thing." Aurora said helplessly as she waved at Xing Mo, "She has read too many books. I can't get the information I want right away, so I'll have to take my time..."

Xing Mo's eyebrows twitched. Good grief, is that something a person would say...?

Previously, after having her knowledge drained for just a few hours, Xing Mo would collapse on the bed, unable to move and utterly helpless.

And now, Ms. Aimer was going to be drained for... who knows how long...

Knowledge could be harmful.

Xing Mo could only hope that the library spirit could endure it.

"By the way, won't people notice her disappearance?" Xing Mo looked around.

"No need to worry. She hasn't really been involved in anything for hundreds of years, so no one will mind her missing." Aurora covered her mouth and giggled: "Rather than this, I suggest you focus on the clue regarding Bishop Freyr."

"Oh, right." Xing Mo got up.

The reason why Bishop Freyr Sunlight had come to Aimer to borrow a book was because someone told him about the matter with the Starsea Spring, which led to him disappearing with the Angel's Tear!

The person who told him this was likely the mastermind behind it all!

"But it's unlikely we can find that person now." Xing Mo waved her hand, "After all, we don't even know where they met."

"Your little dagger is useless~" Aurora hummed a cheerful tune.

Why are you gloating? Xing Mo found it a bit amusing.

In any case, this matter will have to be set aside for the time being, until a new clue emerges.

Just as Xing Mo was thinking this, she suddenly heard a tapping on the window beside her.

She looked outside and saw a white dove frantically pecking at the glass, a letter tied to its leg.

The heavy rainfall had soaked it through, making it look like a drowned rat...

"..." Xing Mo suppressed a laugh, then opened the window and let the dove in.

The wet dove dropped the letter on the desk, shook its wings, and then flew out again.

Xing Mo opened the letter, which contained a sheet of paper and the black and white picture she had given Aria.

She unfolded the paper and started reading: "Honorable Lady Saintess, we found the factory you are looking for."

"It is a whale oil factory, that also produces large binding equipment, and is run by Sir Derek Larson."

"He is a noble of the Kingdom of Messina, and he has been bullying our companions. If you have any further instructions, please feel free to contact me at the church at any time."

"Yours sincerely, Aria."

Ah, the little ones are pretty efficient. They even found the person behind it.

Xing Mo handed the letter to Aurora and said: "This Sir should know quite a bit about Steam Men."

Aurora skimmed through the letter and muttered: "Profiteers, profiteers be damned. I'll give you some power. You can go bully him by yourself."

"You're not going?" Xing Mo thought Aurora would go with her, otherwise she wouldn't have bothered to report it.

"I'm planning to get some information from Ms. Aimer in the next couple of days." Aurora revealed a bright smile, "This is your first solo mission! Lead the Church of Aurora to victory!"

Xing Mo: "..."
