"Why are you crying?"

"The whip hurts a lot, as if I'm being beaten too......"

"Tarence says you get beaten a lot at home, why?"

"They said I was annoyed when I cried, they were in pain when I hit, and then I hit harder. ”

"When you met Tarence, you became like that when you cried, didn't you often become a witch when you wandered with him?"

"So my grandfather rarely took me into town and wouldn't let me talk to anyone else. ”

"Now you can, but it's better to cry as little as possible, it's hard to stay in the form of a saint. Today you fainted, scaring me and Tarens. ”

"Well, Richie will cry whenever you say, I will cry whenever you say, I promise!"

Finney curled up under the covers, and Richie sat on the edge of the bed, chatting softly with her.

Listening to her childish promise, Li Qi smiled: "You are not a faucet, you can't do it." ”

"And what are we going to do?" said Finny.

"In the future, you will be like this, if you can, don't shed tears, if you can't, just control it and don't let it flow too much. ”

Li Qi came up with a means to deal with his little niece: "Imagine that tears are the milk you drink, and if you flow too much, they will be gone, and you will never grow up in the future." ”

Finney was silent for a while, then nodded vigorously: "I know, my strength should be used to help Li Qi, I can't waste it willfully, and I also have to use healing techniques to help others." ”

"Good girl. ”

Li Qi rubbed her hair and kissed her forehead again: "This is the Pope's blessing to the Holy Maiden, sleep well." ”

"Richie ......"

Finney pulled the quilt, only revealing half of her face, and her green eyes were rippling: "Can you ask for it...... The lord's blessing to the maid. ”

"Okay, this is Li Qi's blessing", Li Qi kissed it again, as for the master's blessing to the maid, don't think about that if you are still young.

The room was quiet, wrapped in the warmth and softness of the mattress, pillows, and quilts, and the corners of Finney's eyes began to moisten again.

She had never slept in such a comfortable bed in her life, and the food she ate used to be eaten by the lord could only be enjoyed from a distance, and she couldn't even smell the smell clearly, but that was not the reason why she wanted to cry again.

The lord, her parents, her brothers, everyone around her before, had always yelled, scolded and beaten her.

Grandpa Tarence was very good to her, but Grandpa's gaze on her did not fall on her, but on her as if she were a door, always behind the door of his imaginary goddess, she sensed it very clearly.

Only Li Qi, from revealing the true body of the witch to becoming a saint, his eyes have always been on her. When Li Qi first held her hand in the prison, she saw the kindness and even pity in those gray eyes, which had not changed at all.

Compared with seeing the goddess in Li Qi, she changed from a witch to a saint, and Li Qi's gaze made her feel ...... If warmth counts as happiness, it is happiness.

"Whether it's a saint or a maid, it's okay to make Li Qi happy, whichever is good. ”

Thinking so, Finney felt extremely ashamed and annoyed that she had not been in her holy form for long during the day and had fainted.

"No, you can't cry...... That's milk. ”

Tears were about to well-fall from her eyes again, she admonished herself.

There seemed to be still the warmth on Li Qi's lips on her forehead, which reminded her of what Li Qi had said, sweetness and happiness can also make people cry.

Tears slid down her cheeks, and the bed was full of light, but fortunately, because of the excessive consumption during the day, there was not much movement.

The little girl comforted herself: "Just take a sip secretly, just take a small sip......"

In the study on the third floor of the castle, the candlelight was fluttering, and Li Qi sat behind a rosewood desk that was unknown to be hundreds of years old, and there were traces of sword slashing everywhere, so he could not sell for it, with one hand supporting his chin and holding a quill in the other hand to write and draw on paper.

He finally figured out what the skill of "Soul Thorns" was, just like "Hanging Beam Thorn", his mind was extremely clear. Maybe it has other effects on others, but if he uses this trick on himself, he won't want to close his eyes this night.

During the day, Finney openly revealed her holy form, and although it didn't last long, the revolutionary cause finally took another step, and the god name "Crimson Lady" could appear in the open.

While the iron is hot, Li Qi is ready to come up with some specific doctrinal provisions and complete this part of the task of believers first. As for debts and shrines and stuff, take your time.

However, how to determine the doctrine, Li Qi also made a difficulty, "everyone for me, I for everyone" is too far away from "pain".

There was a knock on the door, and Litchie thought it was Sardar, but after calling in, it was Tarence who pushed the door in.

"Neon ......"

Tarence performed a courtesy that made Richie's eyes dizzy, and it was amazing how smoothly he could perform those movements in such a short period of time at the age of an old man.

"Don't make a fool of yourself, our goddess doesn't pay attention to this, and this title will definitely be sprayed by the party, what's the matter with you?"

Richie didn't understand the second half of Richie's sentence at all, but the first half of the sentence was successful, and he nodded and said, "I understand, Lord Viscount." ”

He took a deep breath, straightened his chest and said, "I'm here to offer advice to the master." ”

A hint of heat jumped in Richie's eyes: "Oh-?"

The candlelight on the third floor of the castle remained unextinguished all night......

..................

To the north of Prell, Conrad City, with a population of only tens of thousands, is a small city at best, but in the southern part of the kingdom in the poor countryside, it is already a prosperous place.

In the richly decorated, clean tavern, listening to the soft plucking of the musician's shamisen, Sebadian took a small sip of fifty-year-old Wesley Royal Kiln wine and exhaled a long breath.

Wine that even Viscount Prell rarely enjoyed, and a small butler of his could drink a full glass, which was worth several silver pennies.

However, this was not enough for him to sell his family glory and work ethic.

"Sir McGowell, is it really not possible to be accommodating? Young Master Richie, no, Lord Viscount, he is trying to raise money. He had more self-control than his father, and was much more sensible, and maybe there would be a way. ”

"Xia Wen, you know, I admire your talent, and even think that you are qualified enough for an important position in the royal capital city hall, but ......"

The thin middle-aged man sitting opposite played with the wine glass in his hand, and said in a nonchalant, or deliberately concealed tone: "You are too insensitive to the changes of the times, and this is not to blame, after all, you are not a shrewd nobleman or a powerful professional." If your young master Li Qi is really as you say, more self-controlled, more rational, and more capable than his father, His Majesty will have a headache. And His Majesty's method of solving headaches has always been simple and crude. ”

Sir McGore put down his glass and looked directly at Sebadian, "Are you still guilty that you failed to prevent his father from incurring such a large debt? You can sit here drinking with me because of that. ”

Sebadian secretly gasped, and the guess hidden in his heart was finally confirmed by the other party, which means ......

He pressed his mind deep under a stereotypical expression, which meant great danger!

"The king is still merciful, as long as Young Master Li Qi gives up his domain and knighthood and joins the royal family, in addition to erasing his debts, he can also retain the title of knight and get a decent job in the town hall or the Kingdom Guard. ”

The middle-aged nobleman licked his lips: "I saw Richie Prell in the city yesterday morning, and he is indeed a fresh and beautiful young man." ”

The conditions have been updated and are more lenient than before.

Ignoring the impudence of the other party's undisguised fetish, Sebadian calculated for his master.

The new conditions seem to be very favorable, but if you want to go into a big deal, you have to consider the object.

With a hint of luck, he said, "If it was Princess Theresia, I don't think the viscount would refuse." ”

The king's eldest daughter, Theresia, is beautiful and generous, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and is deeply loved by the king, and it is even rumored that the king will let her take the throne.

"Ha-ha!"

McGore smiled exaggeratedly: "I won't refuse, no nobleman in the kingdom will refuse." ”

He instantly restrained his smile and changed into an expression similar to silent mourning, "It's Princess Catherine." ”

Sebadian's proud composure collapsed, and he clenched his fists to prevent himself from screaming: "Young Master Li Qi is still a child!

Princess Catherine is the king's second daughter and Theresia's twin sister. Compared to her sister like the bright moon, she is the Black Stone Mountain in the Devil's Abyss.

It is said that she has the divine power of the god of killing, because the mortal body cannot bear it, and her body is covered with sores and pus. The king had no choice but to hide her in the palace. It is also said that she led a team of black-armored knights to go around to conquer enemies who disobeyed the king.

"I also think it's very ...... Something that tests the will. ”

McGore spread his hands in sympathy, and continued, "But compared to the prospect of the Viscount becoming a slave of His Majesty the King, and then being sent to Princess Catherine, is it very merciful, isn't it?"

Sebadian's trembling could no longer be suppressed, and he asked bitterly, "Why? Why do you target the viscount so much?"

"So, Xia Wen, your sense of smell is too dull. ”

McGore gulped down the wine in his cup and said with a strong snort, "I can only tell you that the kingdom is about to embark on a new path, and Viscount Prell is just the beginning. If it weren't for the attitude of the Divine Court, His Majesty would not have worked like this. ”

At noon the next day, Sebadian rode his old horse back to the town of Prell.

After a night of tossing and turning, he finally made a difficult decision.

Not for the position of assistant tax collector at the royal city hall, nor for the coercion of the king's second chamberlain, but for his family glory and work ethic.

He must protect Richie Prell, not Viscount Prell or the Viscountdom, but Richie himself.

By the way, yesterday I was dragged by the second attendant to drink, and the witch's business was not done. But there's nothing more to do, just give it to any church, exchange it for some gold bushels, and let Li Qiduo enjoy the life of the Viscount before that day comes.

Before he could enter the town, Sebadian was stunned by what he saw.

The townsfolk were walking in the direction of the castle, and everyone was talking happily. Many people drove donkey carts, ox carts, or directly dragged carts, carrying building materials such as wood, stone, and mortar to the ridges.

"Could it be that the witch blew up the castle?"

Sebadian thought so, and then thought of another terrible fact: "Or maybe the viscount was blown up!?"

This is the only possibility that makes the townspeople so happy, right?
