Originally, he just wanted to continue his dying life in the form of a zombie.
Unexpectedly, the Lord of Favors had a better gift left for him!
"Send them back. I'm a little tired."
Judiya spoke in a young boy's voice.
Goldo bowed deeply, then glanced triumphantly at the woman next to him and walked out of the morgue.
Six corpses stood up and followed him woodenly.
At this moment, Cicely pursed her lips. She had been ignored from beginning to end and felt at a loss.
After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly stepped forward and went around behind the girl.
Judiya didn't move, nor did she look at her any more.
Cicely took a deep breath, revealed an elegant and charming smile, and pinched the girl's shoulders with both hands and began to massage them: "Although I know this is not your body, I think I can practice in advance."
She paused and said, "I hope this does not displease you, Master Favored."
Judiya raised her red lips.
"Ah… "

The carriage stopped at the gate of the orphanage.
"Mr. Valerius, are you all right?"
Jeanna couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at the young man opposite her.
Li Xini was sweating profusely. Whether he was fighting against his two wives above the gray fog or disguised as a corpse-eating clan member on the other side, the psychological pressure on him was too great.
"nothing… "
He smiled and said, "I was just thinking about how to solve the problem of food and clothing for the civilians in the short term."
"Have you thought of a solution?" Jeanne asked curiously.
"already solved."
Licinius hummed, "The Medici family is willing to cooperate with me. We will establish a chamber of commerce in the near future and accept a large number of laid-off workers. We will sign a labor contract with them that is fair enough for both parties. When the contract takes effect, we will pay the workers the first salary in advance."
Jeanne frowned, "Is this really necessary? Mr. Valerius, I can understand your kindness, but not everyone in this world is worth saving, you should understand that."
What I am saying here is that some people may choose to just take the money and run away.
"Oh, if someone wants to fish in troubled waters, he can try."
Licinius shrugged. This was the last thing he feared.
Two men got out of the carriage.
At the entrance of the orphanage, two seven-year-old little girls were already waiting at the door.
"Aunt Jeanna!"
Daphne tiptoed over and threw herself on the woman's legs.
Behind, Detis was standing there in a haughty manner, holding a rag and a mop in her hands, with dust on her face.
Li Xini took a look at the two little girls and found them to be quite cute indeed.
"Have you two been listening?" Jeanne asked calmly.
Detis raised her eyes to look at her, then glanced at her older brother behind her, nodded and said, "The guest room has been cleaned, the cups have been washed, new mats have been bought, and aromatic medicine has been sprayed. My sister just cooked in the kitchen and bought fresh fruits and snacks, but we didn't eat a single bite."
Jeanna raised an eyebrow: "Fruits and snacks?"
Detis nodded: "My sister bought it with our pocket money."
Daphne lowered her head a little embarrassedly and grinned.
Li Xini was stunned. He found that the little girl did have a burnt smell on her body.
Obviously just came out of the kitchen.
"Orphanage, where are the guest rooms?"
He was stunned for a moment.
"Because we want to entertain big brother. Big brother has helped Aunt Jeanne. He is Aunt Jeanne's benefactor, so he is also our benefactor. The orphanage is too simple, and the dinner made by Daphne is not delicious. It would be great if big brother doesn't dislike us." Daphne raised her innocent little face, very cute.
Holding a broom that was taller than her, Desiree turned around and continued cleaning the room.
Li Xini was silent for a second: "Miss Jeanna, is this what you asked them to do?"
Jeanna shook her head: "I just asked them to make some simple preparations."
"She's so cute, much cuter than my sister." Li Xini exclaimed.
boom!
At this moment, a faint sound of breaking through the air was heard, echoing over the parish.
The two little girls were so scared that they quickly hid in the room.
"what happened?"
Licinius frowned.
"It's an investigation team sent by the Holy See. So many archbishops have died in the Crescent Moon Church, and the Holy See has been shaken. It's normal for them to send people to investigate. I guess I'll also be tortured."
Jeanna said calmly, "Daphne and Desiree are very afraid of these high-ranking officials of the Church. I don't know why. When they were young, they always followed their mother... Hmm?"
"What's the matter?" Licinius asked.
"My sister is back."
Jeanne said.
Chapter 238: Light, cast a gaze!
A floating ship landed in the parish, blocking out the setting sun.
Licinius asked, "Your sister? The mother of Daphne and Desiree?"
"Yes."
Jeanna said calmly, "I can feel her presence."
Li Xini glanced at the two little girls hiding in the house and asked, "Don't they know that their mother has returned? They have been with you for so long, don't they miss their mother?"
Jeanna's eyes flashed with hatred. "No, my sister doesn't have any feelings for them. Their father died when they were very young. My sister sent these two children to me and returned to the Vatican to continue to be her Archbishop of Light. Compared to children, she likes power more."
Licinius frowned as he listened.
My father died early...
My mother is also a member of the Vatican.
This sense of déjà vu is a bit strong.
It’s a pity that Miss Jeanna said she didn’t know any Mr. Wager.
The two little lolis also don't seem to have any demon bloodline.
"My sister only sent me some money every month, which I used to improve the life of the orphanage. I lived with these two children, but I didn't give them too much preferential treatment. In the orphanage, everyone was equal. I hoped they could learn to be independent and survive."
Jeanna sat on the swing, her long silver-gray hair falling down and fluttering in the wind: "Many people think that I did something wrong. She is obviously my niece, but I used all the money to help the civilians and let them live a hard life with me. What do you think?"
Li Xini thought for a moment and said, "That's good too. We should treat them equally. This will also be good for their future growth and help them become better people. This is the same as raising a son in poverty."
Jeanna looked at him in surprise. "It seems that Mr. Valerius and I are of the same mind. So, can the new era you are talking about really change the status quo?"
Licinius pondered for a moment: "I can only say that there will be changes, but they will not be very effective. What I am doing now is to weaken the aristocracy of the empire and give the common people more due protection. It would be great if we could eliminate the concept of aristocracy and common people.
It's just that because of the existence of warlocks, this world may always be so cruel and unable to change in a fundamental sense."
Of course, because the other party was a member of the Vatican, he did not mention that there were religious factors involved.
Jeanne thought: "So, what's the point of doing this?"
Li Xini spread his hands and said calmly: "Solve the existing problems. Although this world has spawned violent oppression due to supernatural powers, being supernatural is not entirely a bad thing. At least I can use some method to judge whether what I do is correct and increase the tolerance rate."
For example, the power of foresight and divination can make predictions about future developments in advance.
"Having the ability to make changes is always better than doing nothing. I'm not a politician, but I will do my best.
For example, I will share my alchemical achievements with those laid-off workers, creating an unprecedented huge number of jobs to replace the Valerius Chamber of Commerce."
He paused and said, "Eat one bite at a time, walk one step at a time, and act according to circumstances."
Licinius was very cautious, and he divined every step of his plan above the gray fog in advance.
Although this kind of thing involves a wide range, it is essentially of low status and the cost of divination is also very low.
He will only do it if Baime-chan says it is useful.
As for the world that Your Majesty expects, it is theoretically impossible.
I can only try my best to do my best.
The most morbid and deformed phenomenon that Licinius has seen since traveling to this world is that powerful sorcerers sacrifice innocent people wantonly for their own selfish desires.
This was what he could not tolerate the most, but he had no ability to stop it.
Unless he fully awakens and becomes the omniscient and omnipotent devil king.
What Licinius has to do is to solve the root cause of the world's most advanced disasters.
For example, the World Tree that is about to go berserk at any time.
The ever-expanding forbidden land.
There are also the plots of light, the invasion of demons, and so on.
Without resolving these issues, everything else is just empty talk.
Jeanne was silent for a moment: "Then do you still want to go to the parish to see the workers?"
Li Xini hummed: "I want to go and see it."
He wanted to estimate the approximate number of people and use the Dark Eye to do some divination first.
Then send the Night Watchmen over to promote the new Medici firm.
Finally, we were discussing the issue of developing alchemy technology to supply the workshop.
"However, due to the influence of public opinion, the workers don't have a very good opinion of you."
Jeanne said meaningfully: "They are even planning a demonstration."
Li Xini spread his hands and said, "They don't know me, so why should I be afraid?"
Jeanna was slightly startled, and also said: "Then let's go."
o

Licinius was proven to be right.
Most people's impression of him is just some labels in public opinion, as well as his name and family background.
As for the rest, I know nothing.
Some people even pulled him and asked him to join the demonstration!
Just tell me if this is outrageous or not!
Licinius almost lived in Bengbu.
However, at present, there is no problem with this large number of unemployed workers. Some of them are even junior alchemists, and some of them are pharmacists, architects, etc., which have great prospects.
After the Valerius Chamber of Commerce declared bankruptcy, these people lost their source of livelihood and had to bring their families to the parish to seek free assistance and receive meager subsidies.
This also indirectly proves that although they were able to maintain their lives before, they had almost no savings.
"Mademoiselle Jeanne."
Licinius suddenly asked, "Is this the case in all parishes?"
