Chapter 8 The Suspense Behind Debt

Moonlight casts through the tall windows, and the shadows of the two on the wall merge into one.

"Why are you crying?"

"The whip hurts very much, it seems that I am also being beaten..."

"Tarrence said you were often beaten at home, why?"

"They said it annoyed me when I cried and they hurt when I hit them, and then they hit harder."

"After you met Tarrence, you became like that when you cried? Then when you wandered with him, didn't you often turn into a witch?"

"That's why grandpa rarely takes me into town and doesn't let me talk to other people."

"You can do it now, but try to cry as little as possible. It is very strenuous to maintain the saintly form. Today you fainted, which shocked me and Tarrence."

"Well, Li Qi, I will cry whenever you say, I promise!"

Fenny curled up under the blanket, and Li Qi sat by the bed, chatting with her softly.

Hearing her childish promise, Li Qi smiled: "You're not a faucet, so you can't do it."

"Then what should we do?" Fenny was distressed.

"From now on, you will be like this. Don't shed tears if you can. If you can't, just control it and don't let it shed too much."

Li Qi took out a means to deal with his little niece: "Imagine that tears are the milk you drink. If you shed too much, it will disappear later, and you will never grow up in the future."

Fini was silent for a while, then nodded vigorously: "I see, my power should be used to help Li Qi, and I can't waste it willfully, and I also need to use healing techniques to help others."

"Good girl."

Li Qi rubbed her hair, then kissed her forehead: "This is the Pope's blessing to the saint, sleep well."

"Li Qi..."

Fei Ni pulled the quilt, only half of her face was exposed, and her green eyes shimmered: "Can I ask... the master's blessing for the maid."

"Well, this is Li Qi's blessing." Li Qi kissed again kindly. As for the master's blessing to the maid, don't think about it.

The room became quiet, wrapped in the warmth and softness brought by the mattress, pillow, and quilt, and the corners of Fini's eyes began to moisten again.

She had never slept in such a comfortable bed in her life. Before, she could only watch the lord from afar enjoy the food she ate, and she couldn't even smell the smell clearly, but this was not the reason that made her want to cry again.

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

Grandpa Tarrence was very kind to her, but when grandpa looked at her, he did not fall on her, but regarded her as a door, always watching the goddess in his imagination behind the door, she felt very clearly.

Only Li Qi, from revealing the witch's true body to turning into a saint, his eyes have always been on her.At first in the prison, when Li Qi held her hand, she saw the kindness and even love in those gray eyes, and it hasn't changed a bit until now.

Compared to seeing a goddess in Li Qi, and changing from a witch to a saint herself, Li Qi's gaze made her feel even more... If warmth counts as happiness, it is happiness.

"Whether it's a saint or a maid, as long as it can make Li Qi happy, whichever is fine."

Thinking of this, Fenny felt extremely ashamed and annoyed that she fainted after not maintaining her saintly form for a long time during the day.

"No, don't cry...that's milk."

Tears were about to come out of her eyes again, she warned herself.

It seemed that the warmth of Li Qi's lips still remained on her forehead, reminding her of what Li Qi said, that sweetness and happiness can make people cry.

Tears slid down her cheeks, and the bed was filled with light. Fortunately, because of excessive consumption during the day, there was not much movement.

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

In the study room on the third floor of the castle, candlelight fluttered, and Li Qi sat behind a rosewood desk that was hundreds of years old and full of traces of swords and swords, so it could not be sold at the price, with one hand resting on his chin, and the other Holding a quill pen to write and draw on paper.

He finally figured out what the "spiritual thorns" skill is useful for, just like "stabbing the butt on a hanging beam", his mind is extremely clear.Maybe it has other effects on other people, but if he uses this trick on himself, he won't be able to close his eyes tonight.

During the day, Fenny publicly revealed her saintly form. Although it didn't last long, the great cause of revolution finally took another step forward, and the god name "Lady Scarlet" can appear on the stage openly.

Strike while the iron is hot, Li Qi is going to come up with some specific doctrinal provisions, and first complete the mission of believers.As for debts and temples and all, take your time.

However, how to define the doctrine, Li Qi also had a difficult time. "Everyone for one, one for everyone" is too general, and it is too far away from "suffering".

When there was a knock on the door, Li Qi thought it was Sardar, but after calling in, it was actually Talens who pushed the door and entered.

"Neon..."

Tarrence performed a courtesy that made Li Qi's eyes dizzy. At an old man's age, it is amazing to complete those movements smoothly in such a short period of time.

"Don't worry about it, our goddess doesn't pay much attention to this, and this title will definitely be sprayed by the textual research party, what's the matter with you?"

Tarrence didn't understand the second half of Li Qi's sentence, but he succeeded in making up the first half of the sentence. 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."

There was a gleam of enthusiasm in Li Qi's eyes: "Oh—?"

The candlelight on the third floor of the castle lasted all night...

………………

To the north of Purell Town, Conrad City has a population of only tens of thousands. It is a small city at best, but in the remote south of the kingdom, it is already considered a prosperous place.

In the gorgeously decorated, clean and tidy tavern, listening to the sound of the three-stringed harp plucked softly by the musician, Sebadian swallowed a sip of the 50-year-old Wesley Royal Kiln wine and let out a long breath.

Even the Viscount Pryor seldom enjoyed fine wine, but his little butler could actually drink a full glass, worth several silver pennies.

However, this is not enough to make him sell his family honor, and work ethic.

"Sir McGore, can you really not be accommodating? Master Li Qi, no, the Viscount is trying to raise funds. He has more self-control than his father, and he is much more sensible. Maybe he will find a way."

"Xia Wen, you know, I admire your talent very much, and even think that you are qualified for an important position in the City Hall of the Royal Capital, but..."

The thin middle-aged man sitting opposite played with the wine glass in his hand, and said in a casual, or deliberately concealed tone: "You are too insensitive to the changes of the times, and it is not your fault, after all, you are not a shrewd noble or A powerful professional. If your Young Master Li Qi is really as you said, more self-controlled, more rational, and more capable than his father, His Majesty the King will have a headache. And His Majesty's solution to headaches has always been simple and rude."

Sir McGore put down his glass and looked directly at Sebadian: "Are you still feeling guilty about not being able to prevent his father from incurring such a large debt? This is not your fault, and it is far beyond your fault." The scope of ability. You can sit here and drink with me because of this."

Sebadian took a deep breath, and the guess hidden in his heart was finally confirmed by the other party, which means...

He suppressed his emotions deeply under the rigid expression, which meant great danger!
"The king is still merciful, as long as Master Li Qi gives up his territory and titles, and joins the royal family, in addition to wiping out his debts, he can also retain his noble title of knight, and get a decent job in the city hall or the Royal Guard. "

The middle-aged nobleman licked his lips: "I saw Li Qi Player in the city yesterday morning, and he really is a fresh and beautiful boy."

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

Ignoring the rudeness of the other party's undisguised obsession, Sebadian made plans for his master.

The new conditions seem to be very favorable, but if you marry, you have to consider who you are.

With a little luck, he said, "If it's Princess Teresia, I don't think the Viscount will refuse."

The king's eldest daughter, Theresia, is beautiful and good at dancing with long sleeves. She is deeply loved by the king. There are even rumors that the king will let her take over the throne.

"Hahaha!"

McGore smiled exaggeratedly: "I will not refuse, no nobleman in the kingdom will refuse."

He instantly restrained his smile, put on a mournful expression and said, "It's Princess Catherine."

Sebadian's proud composure broke down. He clenched his fists to prevent himself from screaming: "Master Li Qi is still a child! How can this be possible!"

Princess Catherine is the king's second daughter and twin sister of Theresa.Compared with her sister who is like a bright moon, she is the Black Stone Mountain in the Devil's Abyss.

It's a trivial matter to have a violent temper and kill. It is said that she possesses the supernatural power of the God of Slaughter, because a mortal body can't bear it, and she has sores all over her body and pustules all over her face.The king had no choice but to hide her deep in the palace.It is also said that she was asked to lead a team of black armored knights to conquer the enemies who refused to obey the king.

"I also think this is very...a test of will."

McGore spread his hands to show sympathy, and continued: "But compared with the prospect of the viscount becoming His Majesty's slave and being sent to Princess Catherine, it is already very kind, isn't it?"

Sebadian couldn't restrain the trembling all over his body, he asked with difficulty: "Why? Why are you targeting the Viscount like this?"

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

McGore gulped down the fine wine in the glass, and said with a strong smell of alcohol: "I can only tell you that the kingdom is about to embark on a new path, and Viscount Prior is just the beginning. If it is not for the consideration of the court With the attitude over there, His Majesty will not make such troubles."

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

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

Not because of the position of Assistant Tax Officer of the City Hall of the Royal Capital, nor because of the coercion of the King's Second Attendant, but because of his family honor and professional ethics.

He had to protect Li Qi Prael, not the Viscount Prell or the Viscount's territory, but Li Qi himself.

By the way, I was dragged to drink by the second attendant yesterday, and I didn't do anything about the witch.But there is nothing to do, just give it to any church, exchange some gold bushels, and let Ridge enjoy the life of Lord Viscount more before that day comes.

Before entering the town, Sebadian was startled by the sight in front of him.

The townspeople are walking towards the castle in an endless stream, and everyone is talking happily.Many people drove donkey carts and ox carts or directly dragged the carts to transport construction materials such as wood, stones, and mortar to the ridge.

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

Sebadian thought about it, and then thought of another terrible fact: "Or the viscount was killed by the bomb!?"

Only this possibility will make the townspeople so happy, right?
