"Hehe, I also saved some pocket money, but I bought it for Aunt Jeanna. I spent a lot of it on fruits and snacks for my big brother. I decided to only eat black bread for the next half month."
"It's okay, I'll eat it with you."
After finishing their homework, the two little girls climbed onto the bed obediently, blew out the candles, and went to sleep.
Li Xini leaned against the door, looking at the stars outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking. He did not take out the communication mirror until the only sound in the room was the even breathing.
He planned to contact the head of the Medici family and ask him to come and discuss the company's problems with him.
At this moment, he heard talking in sleep coming from inside the house.
"Mom, it hurts, don't..."
"It hurts, can you please stop? My sister and I didn't do anything wrong, oooo."
"I hate mom so much. I hate mom so much! Give dad back to us!"
Li Xini was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around and rushed into their bedroom.
Daphne and Desiree were seen hugging each other, their petite bodies trembling and covered in cold sweat.
Obviously, it was a nightmare.
Licinius was not a sorcerer and had no means of calming people’s spirits, so he could only touch their heads again and again and cover them with blankets based on his experience from ten years ago.
He had the same nightmares when Norn was a kid.
There is just one more step, which is to hold the little girl in your arms.
"How strange."
Li Xini confirmed again with his dark pupils that there was no trace of demons.
When he killed the old sword master in the battle, he used the rules of the Red Rose Opera House.
Mr. Wager, the owner of the opera house, not only obeyed his will, but also gave him two precious alchemical materials before leaving, just hoping that he could entrust him with a task.
That is to find my two children.
Mr. Wager is a demon, and her daughter should also have demon blood.
Li Xini always felt that there was something wrong with these two girls, the sense of déjà vu was too strong.
However, they do not have the blood of the demons.
"No..."
Licinius murmured.
Sometimes what you see may not be the truth.
Li Xini hesitated for a moment, then took out a dagger, gently cut off a bunch of hair from the two little girls, put it quietly into his pocket, turned around and went out to the warehouse.

"What the hell! How could a priest appear at this time? This doesn't make sense! There hasn't been a priest in fifty-seven years. So a new successor to the Ancient Priesthood will appear! Behind this new priest is the High Priest of Light! If he wants, he will gain supreme power!"
Archbishop Hart jumped up and down in the room: "He might even upset the balance of the various factions in the Church!"
You know, the power struggle within the Vatican is also very fierce.
The ancient priest tribe had long since withdrawn from the struggle for power due to the special nature of their duties and the lack of a successor.
Over the course of fifty-seven years, the situation gradually became clear due to the silence of the ancient priesthood.
However, once the Ancient Priesthood once again joins the struggle for power...
All the work done by Archbishop Hart over the years has been in vain!
Archbishop Kallen said calmly: "Since you cannot disobey the order of the High Priest of Light, you have no choice but to execute it. Besides, this will not hinder our plan. After all, it takes time for new priests to grow. Hart, you are really too sensitive. I understand you, after all, it is at this critical juncture."
Archbishop Hart took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I am indeed too sensitive. After all, this is the most critical juncture in the cooperation with Archduke Joachim, and no complications are allowed."
Archbishop Karen said, "What other conditions did he put forward to you?"
Archbishop Hart frowned and said, "The transformation plan for the demon warriors."
Archbishop Kallen narrowed his eyes and asked, "So fast?"
Archbishop Hart glanced at her and said, "Yes. Why, are you softening your heart?"
Archbishop Kallen said nothing.
"This was your own choice. I hid the fact that you intermarried with the demons from you, and you killed your husband with your own hands and left your two children behind as sacrifices for the experiment."
Archbishop Hart's eyes turned evil, and he said in a deep voice, "They both have great talents. If we want to mass-produce warriors with demon blood, we need them both."
Archbishop Kallen lowered his eyes, looked at the deep starry sky outside the window, and said softly: "It's just two stains. You can use them if you want, but the premise is... you have to deal with Jeanna."
A hint of coldness flashed in Archbishop Hart's eyes.
"You have a good brother, Hart."
Archbishop Kallen said, "If it weren't for your background, Jeanna might have sent you to the stake long ago. It was you who suggested sealing the demon blood of Daphne and Desiree and keeping them with Jeanna. That way, no one would suspect them and it would be very safe."
She paused and raised her eyes: "So, what do you do when you need it?"
Archbishop Hart's eyes were grim, and then he sneered.
"If it was before, I might have a headache."
He said, "However, Jeanne is not impeccable. There is sufficient evidence to show that she was not in the parish on the night of the Scarlet Night, but went to the capital. She participated in the battle but did not report it."
Archbishop Kallen raised his thin eyebrows: "Really? My sister is not that easy to deal with."
"Don't worry, I will deal with her in one go."
Archbishop Hart stared at her and said, "You will help me, right? After all, we are in the same boat. If something happens to me, I will definitely drag you down with me."
"Uh..." Archbishop Karen snorted coldly.
"You don't need to remind me, I know it well."
Archbishop Hart nodded: "That's good..."

At the same time, above the gray fog.
The girl in white was suspended in the mist, her eyes like countless deep cracks looking down at the boy.
"So, they really are the demons?"
Licinius gazed into the surging gray fog, which reflected vague images of the past.
Those are two little lolis.
Daphne and Desiree.
However, they looked younger and had sharp demon horns.
The silver-haired woman looked at them indifferently and released her magic.
Daphne and Desiree struggled in agony, as if they were in agony, their eyes were bloodshot.
However, the devil horn on the top of its head was cracking and breaking inch by inch.
Bloody...
"Don't worry, it will only hurt for a while."
The silver-white woman said softly, "Mom needs you to be alive, so I must seal your demon bloodline. You will not remember what I have done to you because I will erase your memory. The dead have no value, just like your dead father."
She paused and said, "I'm so sorry. Please forgive mom."
The screams of Daphne and Desiree echoed in the silence.
Until the devil horns on their heads were completely shattered.
Finally fell into a deep sleep.
The gray fog cleared, that was it.
Licinius was silent for a long time, standing in the gray fog, feeling a little overwhelmed.
No wonder, I can’t feel the demon blood in them.
No wonder they are so resistant to the power of light, and even afraid of it.
Licinius suddenly thought of himself.
When I was a child, I was imprisoned in Valerius Manor as a test subject.
"I will still take half of your life this time."
Baime-chan glanced at him and disappeared into the mist.
The world is broken...
When Licinius opened his eyes again, there was an abandoned alchemical matrix in the warehouse.
The two tufts of hair spontaneously combusted without fire and turned into ashes.
Li Xini took out the communication mirror and injected a trace of magic power into it.
A respectful voice came from the communication mirror.
"Respected Master, what can I do for you?"
Licinius rolled his throat, making his voice hoarse, and said indifferently: "It's late at night, I want to... play a game."
Chapter 240 His Majesty's Return, the Forgotten Truth
Late at night, it was raining.
Outside the church at night, someone was vaguely standing in the rain.
Occasionally, a holy light flashed, illuminating the figure in the rain, like a ghost.
Licinius stood in the alley, his face covered in dark, sticky liquid, like a hideous demon from the depths of hell, his hands clasped across his chest, torrential rain pouring down from his side.
A black umbrella was propped over his head.
Cicely held the umbrella, lowered her head meekly, and didn't even dare to look him in the eye.
"My Lord."
Goldo was about to report on the company's situation when he was interrupted.
"I didn't ask you to come here because of the business."
Li Xini said calmly: "I want to see what level the believers of light in this era are at."
He paused: "Follow me..."
Licinius walked straight toward the church.
I saw a brilliant and sacred light, covering the surroundings of the church like a gas mask.
Sacred and inviolable.
Those holy lights were obviously emitted by the sculpture of the Goddess of Light.
In other words, the core of this bright barrier, Cicely's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly followed with an umbrella, not daring to breathe.
Because this was her first time facing this honorable corpse-eater.
"Lord, are you sure you want to do this? That is a church protected by light. We are not believers of light. If we rush in rashly, we will be repelled by the barrier. Even if we can pass through the barrier, we will be noticed by those powerful beings above the archbishop." Goldo said quickly.
He was afraid that this Lord had been sleeping for too long and was unaware of how powerful the Holy Messiah Church was now.
Cicely was also extremely terrified. This was simply seeking death.
The ancient evil god's followers went to anger the light.
It's like a criminal gang running into a police station and making noise.
However, in the next moment, Li Xini pushed away the black umbrella in the woman's hand, and then walked to the front of the bright barrier by himself, raised his right foot thoughtfully, and hung it in the air.
His right foot hovered for just a second.
Snapped…
