"No...... Vulcan...... Nope!"

"Anyway, you're going to accept the result, Richard!"

"No...... This is in exchange for my child's soul, and I will not allow this to happen!"

"Huh...... But can you bear to give up the gift that the Mokawi clan has given you?And do you really think that Loki's favor is so easy to owe? After you didn't completely reject him by luck at the beginning, the fate of your child named Lemon was doomed......

“......”

On the flanks of the Black Thorn Castle, in one of the rooms that had been used to entertain the "students" who had come to Sicily as the Grand Duke of Glia, Richard clutched his hair in pain, like an angry lion, roaring angrily.

The two strong servants of the blood clan who were guarding the door were motionless at the moment, and if they got closer, it was not difficult to find that their blood-red eyes were sluggish, and their breathing had stopped!

But they still stood outside the door, still acting as faithful as Anne had requested......

If you look closer, you can even see the face of the slightly taller servant on the left, flying a star butterfly that Miss Anne has stocked in the castle.

The butterfly, which was about the size of a man's palm, and was good for nothing but good looks, was flapping its wings, but it was still and stopped......

These two faithful servants, as well as the one star butterfly, did not die, but ...... They, and the time around them, seem to have stopped.

In the room, Vulcan, who arrived suddenly, looked at Richard, who suddenly began to go crazy like this after learning everything that had happened during this time.

He really didn't understand, he was just a son, and when the ancient gods were fighting, did Vulcan himself lose few relatives?

However, the more powerful he became, the more Vulcan, who had gradually become a god, became more and more obsessed with the feeling that power brought him.

As long as you are strong, you can become a god, you can live forever, and you can rule the world, then what is all this?

In Vulcan's view, Richard's current performance is simply because he has not tasted enough sweetness.

However, Vulcan's purpose in coming was not to comfort Richard......

"Richard, the deal has been struck...... You should feel honored to make a deal with God. And, what you gain in this deal, far more than you lose. Think of your eldest son, Will, I see, his potential is far above yours, even more than that little guy named Lemon...... If you really want to show a father's love for his child, pour all your love into your eldest son and the little one who is far away in the Kingdom League...... Wouldn't it be better?"

“...... Vulcan, I want to be quiet......"

"You're running out of time, Richard...... It was because you had dedicated those precious souls to me that I told you about your child's experience during this time, and his future fate!"

“...... Vulcan, what do you mean?"

"The gods of Rome have discovered your affair with the Lord...... Don't say that you have appeared in Rome before, and now you have appeared in Sicily, and you have simply come to pick up your children! On behalf of Jupiter, the Lord God of Rome, I condemn you, and your people, to become the Divine Loath!"

After saying this, Vulcan gave Richard a self-satisfied look. Then, his form faded away—it was just a projection of Vulcan......

"You know, Richard, actually, I don't hate you...... It's just the gods' judgment on you......"

This is the projection of Vulcan, which, after complete dissipation, leaves the last words.

Richard slowly stood up...... He went to the mirror in the bedroom, looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly shook his head with a wry smile.

After the battle in Rome, he was ready to be found by the gods of Rome and the Holy See for what they did.

But...... He didn't expect that his youngest and the most money-losing child, Li Meng, would lose half of his soul on the day he didn't decisively reject Loki......

Hearing Vulcan's vague words just now, it seems that the lost half of Lemon's soul seems to have been used to lift a curse on the current mistress of Mokavi, Miss Anne.

And in the near future, the other half of Lemon's soul will be taken away by Loki......

At that time, Li Meng himself will die quietly......

As soon as he thought of this, Richard couldn't help but bow his head in pain!

This perfect leader in the eyes of everyone, the most terrible opponent in the eyes of the enemy, is unexpectedly decadent at the moment.

"No...... There should be a way!"

"Yes, that's right, there must be a solution!"

Jehovah knows that I have betrayed him, but he is in dire need of a group of believers...... I can exchange the faith of the Holy Clan in my realm for him to protect Limon and if he refuses, I can still go to Master Caesar...... As for Mokawi...... I'm trying to figure out a way to get them to make concessions...... That's right...... ...... by all means."

Richard said in a bit of a dismay, but he quickly regained his composure.

Because he knew that the effect of space-time stillness brought by Vulcan was about to disappear!

......

The star butterfly resumed its fluttering wings, and it flew high again, resting on the shoulder of the tall Sukavi servant for a moment, completely unafraid.

The tall Mokawi servant only frowned, glanced at the star butterfly in disgust, and then continued to look forward.

If it weren't for the orders of the hostess, this damn insect would not have had a chance to enter the castle at all!

As soon as he thought of the hostess, the kind of coercion that originated from the blood appeared in his mind again...... Although it is still a long way from the time when the hostess is an adult...... However, her presence is enough to deter the races that covet the Mokawi clan......

Therefore, the tall servant of Mokawi straightened his waist, and he was extremely grateful to the little fellow named Limon. Of course, envy is inevitable...... As for jealousy, jealousy is an emotion that cannot be seen in someone who is approved by the hostess!

It's obedience by blood!

"Excuse me...... My child, where is Limon?"

Richard stepped out the door and asked softly. He looked better now, but his face was still a little haggard...... At the same time, out of knowledge of the Bloodline, Richard forced himself to forget what he had just experienced......

Having received orders from his mistress, the tall Mokawi servant did not directly snoop into Richard's mind to find out why he was so vulnerable.

The tall Mokawi servant, humbly bent down, and said respectfully, "Dear Lord Richard, your child, and our mistress, are enjoying breakfast in the hall of the lords. ”

"Well, thank you. Richard nodded to the respectful Mokkawi servant, and then walked alone in the direction of the lord's hall towards the vague memory of the hangover from last night's hangover.

After Richard left, the two Mokawi servants who had been guarding outside the room where he had stayed last night looked at each other and almost simultaneously turned into a mist of blood and drifted towards the depths of the castle.

As for the Xinglan butterfly on its wings, which looked like the endless night sky, it almost fell to the ground after losing its support.

However, it only flapped its wings lightly and flew aimlessly towards the next place - they would be driven out at night anyway.

However, it did not fly far before it was slapped by a cat's paw made of rags......

Poppy, who had disappeared in the castle for a long time, took a deep look at Richard, who was gradually moving away, and then followed him, and also ran in the direction of the lord's hall......

......

In the lord's hall, there was still chaos, and some of the Holy Clan warriors who had drunk high even wanted to have a real sword fight!

The entire lord's hall was in a mess, and after enjoying this rare moment of relaxation, and gradually letting go of the reserve when they first came here, the Holy Clan warriors who had followed Richard to fight for more than half a year completely let go.

Some people have even begun to brazenly remove the famous paintings hanging from the walls, carefully roll them up, and take them back to their rooms!

Li Meng shouted hurriedly from the top of the lord's hall, trying to get the Holy Clan warriors to stop their actions.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it's because of his lack of prestige, or because his voice is so low that almost no one does what he says.

Anne, on the other hand, snuggled up in her seat, looked with some satisfaction and some expectation at the two healed holes in Limon's neck, which were almost invisible—she was looking forward to another little gift this afternoon.

And those Mokawi servants who are strong men are just standing silently in the corner, as long as there is no order from the hostess, all this in front of them has nothing to do with them!

"Don't ...... Don't do that! It's a lot of work that Anne has put a lot of effort into getting it done!

Li Meng was about to cry in a hurry, because of the reckless behavior of the Holy Clan warriors brought by his father, he rarely began to care about things other than Annie - but when it came to it, he was actually afraid that Annie would be angry.

At this moment, a cold and stern voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the lord's hall.

"He said to stop, didn't you hear?!"

Li Meng subconsciously looked over, he knew that it was the voice of his brother, Will.

Still wearing the light armor that his uncle had made for him, Will walked in with a determined stride. And the first time he came in, he saw his younger brother who had suddenly become silent...... Anxious look!

Will was instantly angry, he came to the crowd, pulled out the splitting wind behind him, and looked coldly at the nearest Holy Clan!
