After Divorce I Became a Top Game Producer

To be replaced

"Please, save my mother."

Snow's thin body was mostly covered by the falling snow, but her pair of pure black eyes still held a faint hope.

It was so cold that he couldn't help but shiver.

But he couldn't leave. His mother at home was still waiting for him to bring the medicine back. He wanted to get an ancient copper coin from his father in exchange for the goddess's blessing potion.

The neon stained glass reflects warm light, and a chorus can be heard in the church.

"My beloved goddess of light, Lyle Lococroy, your eyes are like the blue sea water, your hair is like the bright sunshine, your broad mind embraces the earth, and brings happiness and peace to the world..."

Snow couldn't help but sing softly.

squeak-

The door opened.

As the crowd slowly came to an end, Father Corian walked the Tor Lococroi family to the door.

Such a happy family, their eyes could not even find Snow buried in the snow.

There were eight people in the group. The father and the priest walked side by side in front. His wife was half a step slower than the two of them, while the children followed behind them.

Snow didn't have time to shake off the snow on his body, so he hurried forward and tightly grasped Thor's clothes with his hands that were as frozen as purple carrots.

"Dear Lord Rocco Croy, please save my mother. All you need is one copper coin. I will use it to buy the potion blessed by the goddess of light. I will return it to you when this winter is over."

The man's eyes swept over the beggar who caught him, and he kicked him mercilessly.

The boy's figure was like a kite with its string broken. Although there was snow as a buffer, it was still hit hard on the ground.

The sweetness filled his mouth, and the boy's body could not withstand the strength of adulthood. Snow seemed to hear the sound of ribs breaking, but he did not give up: "Dear Lord Rocco Croy, my mother is Nasha. You have shown me your mercy. Pass her..."

When the noble woman next to him heard this, she immediately looked at Thor with fierce eyes, "Thor Lococroy, take care of your illegitimate child!"

The real young men of Loco Chloe are not even willing to look at Snow. In their hearts, Snow is not even as good as the sword on their waist.

The twin daughters of the Rocco Croy family inherited the family's blond hair and blue eyes. They have a face as beautiful as a delicate rose, but their words are as cruel as a ghost.

The eldest daughter held the lady's hand: "Mom, please don't be angry. Father will never give money to this lowly bastard. Look at his ugly hair and pupils. He doesn't even have the mark of belonging to the Rocco Croy family."

The younger daughter was not so polite: "You are a vulgar farmer trying to gain power from the Rocco Croy family. Your appearance is simply the biggest disharmony tonight."

She approached Snow and took out the smallest amount of money from her delicate wallet, a silver coin with the moon engraved on it.

She shook the silver coin and smiled with satisfaction when she saw Snow's eyes fixed on the silver coin. "See, bastard, this is a silver coin. It can even buy your life."

The girl tossed it casually, and the dark forest swallowed up the silver coin in an instant.

Snow instantly ran towards the silver coin.

So what if you know it's an insult?

With this money, they can buy firewood and rye bread, and their mother and sister can survive this cold winter.

However, what was disappointing was...the woods swallowed up the silver coins in an instant. Snow clearly remembered that the direction of the silver coins should be this way, but there was nothing left.

He can't find it...

However, this was not his fault, because the little daughter was very cunning, and she just pretended to throw it away. The real silver coin was still in her hand, but the next second she threw it into the fountain without caring.

Her mouth opens and closes: praying for the blessing of the goddess of light.

Time passes little by little...

By the time Snow came back in a state of disarray, the Rocco Croy family had already left.

The young man placed his slightly greedy eyes on the fountain.

The goddess's white body is covered with a moon veil, and the ever-flowing water holds her up. On her skirt are the money handed in by countless believers, including bright gold coins, dazzling silver coins, and countless copper coins.

Take one and no one will know.

The night is very deep now, and even the most ferocious jackals have fallen into a deep sleep. Only the mice are still walking around, staring at the delicious bread with greedy eyes, even though countless mouse traps are flashing with cold light.

Snow's eyes were bright and dark. He stretched out his hand to touch the skirt of the goddess. The moonlight selflessly shined on that hand, even the fingers were stained with filth.

There was a knock on the church door.

Father Corian opened the door, still holding the Lyell Book of the Goddess of Light in his withered hands.

The bright elements inside the church made the whole room feel warm. Even Snow standing at the door felt his body instantly warm.

The young man put his hands behind his back in embarrassment, "Please, save my mother. I will sell myself to a wealthy businessman in the next year in exchange for money to pay you back."

The boy's face turned red, and he was ashamed that he had ever thought of defiling the skirt of the goddess.

Father Corian's old face showed a little guilt, "I'm sorry, young man, I don't have the right to give you the blessing of the goddess, and I don't have any extra money to help you, but if you don't mind, I'll give it to you." I hope some herbs can help your mother."

Snow's eyes suddenly lit up with hope.

The two came to the dilapidated thatched house together. The house was empty, and everything that could be sold had been sold. But as long as there was Xue Fu and her mother, it was Snow's home.

Little Xuefu snuggled beside the bed, tears welling up in her eyes. When she heard the sound outside the door, she was instantly surprised, "Brother? The potion blessed by the goddess..."

Snow pursed her lips and lowered her head.

The priest was an old man. He was out of breath after walking in the wind and snow carrying a medicine box. He didn't have time to wipe his sweat, so he hurriedly walked to the patient and checked.

"This..." The old man's kind-hearted nature prevented him from saying anything. The woman in front of him had died long ago. The reason why she still had some warmth on her body and looked like she was sleeping might be because she was a witch during her lifetime, and she was like this. The weather is very conducive to preserving the integrity of the body.

Looking at the longing eyes of the two children, he found it difficult to speak.

The air became a little quiet.

Snow sniffed and suppressed her desire to cry.

"Father Corian, my mother is still alive, right? She just suffered from a disease that cannot be revived, and she has been stuck in her sleep, right?"

Father Corian covered the woman's thin quilt over her head and looked at the two children, "Are you coming to the Temple of the Goddess of Light? There may be some jobs suitable for you there."

The two children did not speak. They clung to the corner of the quilt in silent resistance. It was difficult for them to accept the cruel truth.

Father Corian shook his head and left silently.

Snow didn't even dare to look at his sister. He didn't know what to do now.

Mother's illness came very suddenly. Ever since that night with Lord Thor half a month ago, her condition has taken a turn for the worse.

Mother once said that Snow and his sister Xue Fu have the most precious blood in their bodies and are the children of lords.

But Snow didn't expect that the lord's father, whom he had met before, could still kick him away mercilessly.

Button...

There was a noise outside the door.

who is it? !

The younger sister shrank into Snow's arms in fear for an instant. The two of them had no idea who else would come to them now. They already had nothing.

Snow took the initiative to open the door.

The cold wind arrives with uninvited guests.

The woman outside was very tall, wearing a pair of red leather high-heeled shoes. The leather jacket tightly wrapped her body, revealing some graceful curves. The iconic huge scythe hung diagonally behind her, and her eyes were so unconscious. , just like a corpse.

Such a standard image of the Night Witch. They are servants of the Goddess of Night. Perhaps there is a more suitable name for them, corpse collectors.

"Lucy." the woman said. Her eyes quickly swept across the empty thatched house, and finally landed on the woman covered with white cloth. This was the body that summoned her all the way here.

The cold wind swept away the last warmth of this small home, and the woman stepped in.

"What are you going to do!"

Lucy looked down at Snow. The angry boy was like a lion cub, protecting his mother behind him.

Lucy pulled out the scythe behind her, and the sharp tip touched lightly a few inches in front of Snow's forehead, causing a few strands of black hair to fall.

"I am a corpse collector, a job given to us by the goddess of the night. The corpse behind you is the corpse of a witch with great resentment. I hope you can sell it to me. This is the reward."

A golden gold coin fell from the tip of the knife, but it instantly fell into the soil and no one picked it up.

Xue Fu hid behind her brother. Although she was afraid of women, she tried to stretch her thin body to protect her mother.

The woman was in a bit of a dilemma. One gold coin was the market price, but the two sellers in front of her didn't accept it.

She glanced at this dilapidated home with a dull gaze. The value of a gold coin should be enough to make their hearts flutter.

It can even buy a small house in a small town.

The tip of the scythe touched the gold coin lightly and recovered it. Lucy scratched her red curly hair in confusion.

Gulu...

Xue Fu's hands instantly covered her belly. She hadn't had a decent meal for a long time. She only dug two handfuls of snow outside this morning, but her hands were still red from the cold.

The same is true for Snow. Ever since his mother fell ill, the family's limited food supply was limited to the patient, so the two children must have been screaming with hunger.

Snow's hand holding Lucy was shaking a little.

Without money and food, he and his sister would most likely not be able to survive this winter.

But if the corpse is handed over to the Night Witch, the mother will most likely be refined into a legendary puppet, and her soul will not be able to rest in peace.

How to do?

Snow.

The young man's body couldn't stop trembling.

If only my mother had not been sick, if only that man had never come to the house!

Snow's teeth were clenched tightly, and it seemed as if there was still bloody breath stuck in his chest, accompanied by the pain in his foot, which reminded him twitchingly.

At that moment, countless thoughts passed by.

My mother is dead, but my sister is still alive.

In the ancient continent, girls are luckier than boys. They have the physique favored by the elemental elves and have the potential to become witches.

As for boys, in addition to talent, they also rely more on day-to-day training to become warriors.

If Xue Fu could become a witch, she could make a living even as a village witch in a remote village.

Snow knelt down.

He knelt in front of Lucy. The boy's dignity was priceless, but at this moment he had nothing left.

"Master Witch of the Night, I hope to use my mother's corpse in exchange for you to accept this child. Her name is Xue Fu. She must have the talent of her mother and the potential to become a witch!"

Snow pressed Xue Fu and knelt down together.

He has already decided.

As long as Xue Fu is safe, he will go find that man for revenge.

Lucy tilted her head, and a bright crystal ball dropped from the scythe, emitting warm white light and floating steadily in the air.

Snow pushed Xue Fu.

The girl put her little hands on it.

In an instant, the entire room fell into extreme darkness. Not only the candlelight, but also the glimmer of the crystal ball disappeared.

The next second, a terrifying coercion came, and dark eyes without pupils swept over the place and disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, a huge dark aura instantly swept across the entire room.

quite a while……

Lucy's pupils slowly opened: "A natural witch of the night!"

Snow breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, Shaft can become a witch.

The young man's mind was mostly settled.

but……

Xue Fu's hand left the crystal ball, and her black eyes, which were exactly the same as Snow's, were filled with tears. Tears slid down her cheeks. The girl hugged Snow tightly, whimpering like a little animal.

Lucy didn't speak. Even she, who never winked, could tell that she didn't want to disturb the brother and sister who were about to separate.

Snow hugged Xue Fu's thin body and gently patted Xue Fu's body that was crying until she was sobbing.

"Xue Fu, don't cry. You and the Night Witch study hard. After you finish your studies, you can take care of your brother, right?"

"Ah."

"I know Xue Fu has always been very good, right?"

"Brother...I don't want to leave you."

"Xue Fu, you know that witches are very profitable. Even if my mother is in such poor health that she can hardly perform magic, she will bring us sweet candies after work, right? Xue Fu just needs to learn well and become like her mother in the future. The witch will surely come back to take care of my brother, right?"

"Hmm... Wuwu... Xue Fu will definitely come back, brother."

Snow looked at Lucy with some anxiety: "Lord Lucy, if possible, can you keep your mother's body? Xue Fu will definitely redeem her in the future."

Two pairs of nervous eyes looked at him.

Lucy shook her head, "No, I haven't bought this body yet, and Xue Fu's talent is too strong, I can't accept her as my apprentice."

Some strange things began to fall under the scythe.

Half a toad corpse, a rotten snake body exuding a stench, and other weird human corpses, elf ears, dragon scales, and seemingly a dwarf's arm and an orc's tail?

Lucy rummaged through this group of things, and finally took out a scroll, chatting with the person inside for a long time.

With such a strong talent, Xue Fu is very likely to be chosen as the saint of the Goddess of Night.

finally……

Snow held a bag of gold coins and watched Xue Fu and her mother leave. The wind in this room seemed to be getting colder.

Early the next morning.

Snow bought a sharp dagger in the busy market, had a hearty meal in a restaurant, and ignored the tail behind him. He spread all the remaining money on the skirt of the goddess.

Pray for the blessings of the goddess of light.

He said.
