Chapter 239 This is the murderous intent from the abyss!
When Licinius was stared at by the goddess of light, he felt his scalp tingling.
Because he knew what this gaze meant.
Jeanna had just told him that if a person who meets the criteria of being a warrior, a priest, or a judge appears, the spirit of the Goddess of Light will be awakened, and the gaze of God will fall upon her!
At the same time, he also felt the movement of the feather coming from above the gray fog.
"What the hell are these evil gods doing?"
Licinius was very confused. As the current leader of the abyss, he should avoid the light.
Unless it is clear that Light has the ability to kill him directly.
However, when he came to his senses, he found that no one noticed anything unusual on his side.
"Oh no, Daphne and Therese are still in the orphanage. Once the Ministry of Rites discovers the possibility of the existence of clergy, they will use the Light of Faith to search for them. Those two little guys suffered psychological trauma in their childhood and have an unspeakable fear of the extraordinary power of the Holy See. I have to go back as soon as possible." Jeanne frowned and turned away.
Li Xini was slightly stunned, and hurriedly followed her back to the orphanage.
Before leaving, he looked back.
The magnificent and sacred church, the statue of the goddess bathed in endless light, and the believers kneeling like tides.
It was as if nothing had happened and everything was an illusion.
After returning to the orphanage, the house was on warm lights. Most of the children had gone back to have dinner. The yard was empty, with only cats and dogs wandering around.
Jeanne quickly stepped into the orphanage, raised her hand and said, "Light, cover!"
I saw a flame of nothingness ignite and disappear into the void.
An invisible barrier was built, blocking out all breath of light.
Li Xini used the Dark Eyes for divination and finally found two shivering little lolis in the warehouse.
"Okay, it's okay. Do you remember what I taught you? If you feel scared, use magic to protect yourself. Where is your magic power?" Jeanna squatted down and touched their heads.
Daphne and Desiree cried and tried to communicate the magic power in their bodies to stabilize their emotions.
"They are actually already first-level warlocks?"
Li Xini used his Dark Eyes to divine and was surprised: "They are so young. Apart from their own talents, you must have invested a lot of magical resources in them, right? Otherwise, it is impossible for them to be warlocks at this age."
Jeana nodded. "I established this orphanage and treat all children equally, including these two. Otherwise, such obvious differences in treatment would not be conducive to their growth, whether for them or other children. However, I felt that they needed to grow, so I taught them magic."
She sighed quietly: "Although the economic situation is worrying, I remember that this is something that must be done."
Licinius asked curiously, "Why?"
Jeanna showed a rare look of bewilderment in her eyes. She shook her head and said, "I don't remember exactly when the decision was made. Maybe they were afraid that after I died, there would be no one to take care of them."
Licinius raised his eyebrows but said nothing more.
At this time, he found that the two little girls hid their hands behind their backs, as if they were hiding something.
He squatted down and asked, "Please show me your hand."
Detis was the cold and aloof sister. She stared at him stubbornly without saying a word.
On the contrary, Daphne, as the older sister, just bit her lip and obediently stretched out her hand.
Her hands were burned.
Desiree glanced at her useless sister, pouted her lips, and stretched out her burned little hand.
"what happened?"
Jeanne frowned.
Detis whispered, "I was helping my sister cook, and then I heard the voices of those people outside. My sister and I were so scared that we knocked over the pot and were scalded by the hot oil."
Daphne said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry, Aunt Jeanna, we're in trouble."
"What is there to apologize for?"
Jeanna smiled helplessly and stroked their heads: "I'll apply some magic potion to you later, you'll be well soon, it's okay. Go take your big brother to dinner."
Having said that, she suddenly frowned.
Logically speaking, the young man was her equal.
As a result, the two little girls called her aunt.
Instead, he called the young man "big brother".
Ah…
Jeanne curled her lips.
Licinius noticed a detail: this was a parish and there were countless priests.
Treating burns is so easy.
However, Jeanne had no intention of asking the priest to treat her.
It is obvious that these two little lolis are really afraid of the light.
This made him feel more and more strange.
But to be honest, these two little girls are really sensible.
For example, he was very well behaved when applying the medicine. Even though it hurt so much that tears were welling up in his eyes, he didn't cry.
For example, when Licinius entered the room, the two of them quickly found a pair of slippers, which were obviously newly bought.
Then fresh fruits and snacks were served.
They bought this with their meager pocket money.
Li Xini sat in the simple house, watching the two little girls standing on small stools, cooperating with each other to heat up the mushroom soup, and then brought out the fried steak and fried fish.
Very clumsy, but hard working.
Jeanne watched from the side and patiently guided them.
Simple and warm.
Licinius imagined that this young woman, who was a majestic high inquisitor on the surface, secretly used all her income to support the orphanage in the parish and lived a simple but warm life with her two nieces.
I felt a little complicated for a moment.
"Brother, dinner is ready!"
Daphne ran over excitedly and said hesitantly, "Big brother, we don't have any extra tableware at home. Would you like to use the ones we used before? Will you dislike us?"
Detis pretended to be aloof and stood aside, but glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Why do you dislike it?" Licinius asked curiously.
Daphne whispered, "Because I heard that my eldest brother is a noble. If nobles use our common people's tableware, they will be infected with our infectious diseases and die."
Detis also said: "And it will also be tainted with misfortune."
Li Xini was silent for a second. Who the hell said that
"It doesn't matter… "
He also patted the two little girls' heads and said with a smile, "Don't listen to those idiots. If anyone talks to you like this again, come find me and I'll beat him up."
The two little lolis did not dodge his head-patting move.
The elder sister enjoyed it very much, but the younger sister was still arrogant.
While eating, the two little girls didn't move much, just watched him eat with their eyes wide open.
Licinius: To be fair, the food they cook is really terrible.
The mushroom soup seemed fermented.
The steak was tougher than rock.
The fried egg was mushy too.
However, for some reason, he suddenly thought of his concubine.
When Noren first started cooking, he was as clumsy as they were.
So he ate up the two little lolis' dinner bite by bite.
Daphne and Desiree were obviously unaware of their own level. After seeing their older brother finish eating, they thought their dinner was very successful and ran excitedly to do their homework.
At this time, Licinius suddenly discovered something.
Jeanne was sitting next to them, not even moving, eating fruit calmly.
"Why don't you eat?" Licinius suddenly asked.
Jeanna said calmly, "I think it tastes bad."
Licinius: "..."
Jeanne glanced at him and suddenly said, "Mr. Valerius, can you not leave tonight?"
Licinius was stunned for a moment.
After Jeanne finished speaking, her fair cheeks illuminated by the candlelight flushed slightly. She was obviously aware of the ambiguity of her words and explained, "I mean, I may have to go to the church to undergo a faith investigation."
Licinius frowned: "Aren't you showing that you are guilty and are walking into a trap?"
Jeanna shook her head and said, "It's better for me to go by myself than to be summoned by them. If they use the power of light to forcibly summon me, Daphne and Desiree will be frightened again."
Li Xini was silent. He didn't expect that this woman was so gentle.
"So I hope you can help me look after them for one night."
Jeanne said seriously, "I will be back tomorrow."
Li Xini raised his eyebrows: "Are you really relieved?"
Jeanna said, “Don’t look at Daphne and Desiree like this, they are actually very shy and haven’t been this close to anyone for many years, even those who have done me a favor.
So there must be something about you that makes them feel at ease, and they like you very much, so I asked you to take care of them."
Li Xini thought for a second and said, "Okay, I won't leave tonight."
"Thanks… "
Jeanna picked up the iron sword and suddenly said, "You are not coming home at night, don't you need to say hello to Miss Noren?"
Licinius shrugged. "What do you use a message mirror for?"
o

Jeanne left and went to the church at the heart of the parish.
Daphne and Desiree were also very sensible and did not cry or make a fuss because their guardians left.
Instead, I took the opportunity to make the bedding for the guest room where my elder brother was staying while he was going to the bathroom.
When Licinius came back, he heard the two of them whispering in the bedroom.
"Will big brother dislike our dirty bedding?"
"I heard that nobles are all mysophobic."
"That shouldn't be the case. Big brother is so handsome."
"When will Aunt Jeanne come back? Did she go to see her mother?"
"Why doesn't Mom come to see us?"
"Mom must be very busy, protecting us."
"Oh, actually I secretly saved my pocket money and wanted to buy a gift for my mother."
