Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 971 A Gift Delivered by the Night Breeze

Alexis stared at the closed door and pondered for a while.

How come she remembered that after giving birth to Lori, Agris seemed to have taken a powerful tonic?

That child was indeed different from birth.

She silently touched her belly, feeling inexplicably strange... She didn't know whether these two children were here to repay a debt of gratitude or to seek revenge.

But at least she achieved her primary goal.

This is her own child.

She suddenly smiled, pursing her lips.

Although she already believed that she was not Pat, Catherine couldn't help but test her when she had the chance!

She's a very interesting girl.

He clearly craves power deep down, but for some reason he keeps suppressing his ambition and desires.

Mingming is quite shrewd and always speaks with a double meaning.

Compared to the other nuns on duty, she was from a completely different world.

But she would immediately stop those tests as soon as she realized she might cross the line.

How interesting... an ambitious person who holds himself to saintly standards?

I don't know if I encountered something...

Alex immediately shook her head, trying to stop herself from speculating about the darker side of things.

After all, she had been the master of the tower for so many years, so her way of thinking was definitely not exactly enlightened.

Her life has already come to this, though it has been full of ups and downs, at least she has secured the best opportunity for her child.

Of course, her nature was already fixed, and the moment she confirmed the child's existence, she chose the method that would make Yuri give up the child.

Although she never expected that her romance with Yuri would lead to anything, from the very beginning, when choosing the father of her child, Ariges tried her best to choose someone like Yuri with whom she had a strong bond.

They are not bad people, they have no ill intentions towards Ariges herself, and they will not hold Ariges of Green Maple Territory accountable for her actions.

However, they also could not accept a child who might be chosen as the body of the Tower Lord.

Even if everyone knows that they are his descendants, as long as it is not openly acknowledged, it cannot be counted in aristocratic society.

Yuri, for the sake of his brother Leon, would never publicly acknowledge that the child belonged to him.

Then, Alexis's child will forever belong only to her.

Under this premise, the children's talents will naturally be primarily hers... which means it will only be Gezar.

Yuri did not look for her as expected.

Although Catherine's words were somewhat alarmist, Alexis knew that she wasn't trying to scare her.

That theory must be true.

But she knew even more clearly that there were some things Catherine hadn't made clear.

Of course, she didn't completely stay silent; she subtly and indirectly brought it up.

If Ariges wasn't perceptive enough, she probably wouldn't have understood what she meant.

But it wasn't that Catherine had any bad intentions; she just didn't know how Alexis's child came to be.

Was it the result of a one-night stand, with no demands on her father whatsoever... or was it an agreement that resembled a marriage alliance, resulting in the birth of a child?

The second type is the occasional situation that occurs between adventurers.

Many adventurers do not desire eternal marriage, but they do desire short-term companionship.

If they have a child during this period, they will reach an agreement to raise the child together, but this does not mean that they will be together in the future.

But if it's the latter case, then... it's easy to think of Pat and Yuri.

Both of them are semi-adventurers, so they are likely to choose this approach.

Unfortunately, none of these people probably expected that Yuri had given up on becoming a father to his children from the very beginning.

Thinking about this, Catherine couldn't help but test it out. It was actually quite normal... What was abnormal was that she immediately realized it and even felt that she had done something taboo.

This is completely different from the Night Cultists that Ariges had previously encountered.

She almost thought that the Church of the Dark Night was going to be responsible for training people for the Sun God!
Alexis touched her stomach, then pulled out a bottle of magic potion that shimmered with a faint golden light from her storage ring, her eyes flickering slightly.

This is her last bottle of energy potion.

Although Ariges was unaware of the theories of the Dark Church, she did personally take care of Ariges during her reproductive years.

She remembered that, in order to make her child more like herself, rather than giving birth to a Montes who would drive her crazy, Agris had only taken energy-boosting potions from the Church of Storms.

And Lori did indeed show wind-type talent from a very young age.

Another very important point is that when her subordinates went to Qingfeng Territory to purchase resources for her, Valera specifically gave her ten bottles of holy energy potions with strong purifying power.

It looks a bit like solar energy.

Although Alexis did not know the reason, she knew... it must be Lori's hint.

Although Lori might be worried that the child would be parasitized by the Tower Lord, even if it only had a slight preventative effect, she would definitely eat it.

Anyway, Lori definitely wouldn't harm her.

It's a pity, Lori probably didn't expect that ten bottles of medicine wouldn't be enough for her, who was supposed to give birth in eight months.

Hmm... Now he should know. So, she should be able to drink this last bottle.

Just as she was about to pour the medicine down her throat, Alex suddenly seemed to remember something and sat up with a serious expression.

The basket of food on the coffee table remained quietly there, not disappearing suddenly because of her willpower.

Alexis solemnly lifted the basket lid, and a rotating three-tiered tray immediately popped out.

"Damn it... they lied to me!" she couldn't help but groan.

The dishes that Catherine mentioned were indeed available.

However, the salmon salad was full of endive, cherry tomatoes, red bell peppers, blood oranges, and avocado, with only five slices of salmon.

The broth... did contain meat, but the bowl was only the size of a palm.

The worst thing was that tomato beef brisket!

Those pieces of beef brisket were probably only the size of a fingernail.

A basket of food, but only the plate with the apple and oat balls was completely full.

It's obvious she's just using him to fool her.

Alexis's expression changed several times before she swallowed the urge to curse and ate all the 'original! authentic! flavor!' food in one go.

Then he drank the energy potion, which tasted like sunshine, in one gulp.

After tossing the dirty plates and bowls back onto the shelf, Alexis slumped onto the sofa in frustration.

One month, just one more month... No way!
The thought of having to live like this for another year made her feel that life was bleak!

"Learn from you guys, your brother, okay?" Alexis muttered softly, rubbing her belly, before standing up.

The nun had repeatedly warned us not to lie down immediately after eating.

She picked up the basket, opened the door, and placed it on the small shelf by the apartment entrance.

I looked up at the sky again.

The moonlight is so bright tonight!

The night is so alluring, we should take a stroll.

Alexandra walked a thousand steps past the apartment against the night wind before turning back to go home.

Sitting back down on the sofa, she reached out and touched the pockets on her long dress... This maternity dress, specially made by the Dark Church, had five or six pockets of various sizes.

The main purpose is to prepare for the pregnant woman's sudden needs, such as handkerchiefs and snacks.

One of the main reasons Ariges was annoyed by that apple and oat ball was that she had one in every pocket of all her clothes.

If she suddenly feels like eating something, this is the only thing she can eat.

But this time... she pulled a neatly folded handkerchief from her pocket and slowly unfolded it.

In the middle of the handkerchief, there is a small silver ring.

Without hesitation, Yarig put it on the ring finger of her left hand and revealed a relaxed smile.

Then it quickly turned into laughter.

Perhaps unaware of what had happened to her, a certain unsuspecting young master stuffed her with three times the amount of food.

There is also a small mountain made of gold coins.

Ok?
Alexandra gently took out a radiant golden pearl and looked at it with a strange expression.

'I always carry it with me.'

A sentence echoed in her mind.

Alexandra blinked... Why the sun?

Although the energy potions she initially took clearly had a sunny feel to them, they leaned more towards divine power.

She knew it was to purify some evil energy in her body so as not to affect the children in her womb.

This really helped her a lot.

Having consumed eight bottles of holy potions, she felt perfectly comfortable even upon entering the Dark Church... though this was mainly because the Dark Church didn't have such high standards for evil, she still didn't consider herself a minor evil.

Even now, when she detects evil, it can only be said that she leans towards the evil camp.

This is nothing special; most nobles probably wear this color.

Apart from the sun god, other gods do not have such high demands on their followers.

If Pat used to have difficulty hiding herself, now that she's taken the purification potion, she doesn't have to worry about that at all. She can even hide in the Dark Night City without anyone's help.

But the pure power of the sun... is it going to purify her entire being?
Alexandra reached out and pinched the pearl, feeling a tingling sensation on her fingertips, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Even though she had a lot of questions in her mind, she still obediently put the pearl pendant on the silver chain and wore it around her neck, feeling that strange stimulation.

Alexis thought that she, who felt like she was being burned all the time, would definitely not be able to sleep... but she actually slept soundly until dawn.

It was at least two hours later than usual.

Pushing open the window and looking at the high-hanging sun, Alexis felt a sense of unease.

This is not normal!
Why would a believer in the Tower of Hell rely on the power of the sun to replenish her energy?
"Ms. Alexis, haven't you had breakfast yet?" the passing patrol captain called out. "It's eight o'clock! We can't delay any longer."

Alexandra looked down at him: "Thank you for reminding me?"
