Becoming a god by raising witches

[Witch Rhaenys Hill's current favorability rating: 25/100]

My life control suddenly increased by 234, probably because of tonight's banquet, which saved the guards. As for the nobles, it's highly likely that even if I didn't show up, someone from the church would have come to save them, so it wasn't counted towards my score.

I practiced shooting 600 times during this period, and my shooting proficiency reached 810, but I'm still far from leveling up.

I've practiced Shadow Clone skill 201 times, and with the 308 I accumulated before, I still need 491 more to level up.

To increase your strength as quickly as possible, you must diligently feed the witch and strive to upgrade the four skills that directly increase combat power—[Long Hair Art], [Shadow Clone], [Shooting Elite], and [Balance Messenger]—in a short period of time.

The Mirror Trick is also very important. If you can put all your belongings and necessary food reserves in the mirror world, then even if Kosork is attacked and a food crisis occurs, you and Hannah can survive safely.

Furthermore, the mirror trick is currently the best way to save my life, and sometimes it's even more effective than [Life Control].

除了自己的怪异技能之外，还有怪异物C19魔女的红水晶项链、C201幽影蜡烛、C213恶魔的烟斗，其中C19只能算装饰物，C201和C213的作用比较大。

The witch Irene and the demon Rebecca could barely be considered as their own fighting force.

Increasing their strength is also a way to improve them.

But how can we use our connections with the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations to find more witches?

Does Renis have any sisters?

No, no, doing that would be like lighting a lantern in a public restroom—it's like asking for trouble.

It would be better to consult Boyd.

Locke is off tomorrow and could have gone shopping with Hannah and seen a circus performance, but he's not in the mood at all. He's only thinking about how to improve his overall strength to withstand the coming storm.

He couldn't sleep at night, so he got up, put on his clothes, and went downstairs.

In the kitchen, I started simmering the stock in preparation for tomorrow's beef stew in Burgundy.

Rebecca smelled the aroma of broth wafting from her pipe.

"Hehe, instead of sleeping at night, you're sneaking food here. Everyone who sees this gets a share."

Since following Locke, the demon Rebecca has also become greedy.

"Not yet, the broth needs at least 4 hours to mature."

"Hmph, you stingy little thing, don't think I don't know. You lied to Renis this time. Aren't you afraid I'll tell her?"

"Do you know?"

Locke smiled and looked at Rebecca.

Rebecca looked at his forced smile and felt that he was going to make things difficult for her.

"Fine, I can keep quiet, but I've been feeling really hungry lately. When are you going to give me a fresh soul? It's not wise to let a demon go hungry."

"A fresh soul?"

Locke looked at Rebecca suspiciously.

"Yes, didn't Renis tell you?"

"Oh, I remember now. After Life Day, I'll take you to the prison."

Locke, while simmering soup and reading about occult knowledge, said casually.

"Why does it have to be after Life Day? Can't it be before Life Day? I'm really hungry."

Rebecca complained.

"Just bear with it, I believe you can do it."

"Aren't you afraid I'll eat Hannah up?"

Rebecca said, pouting.

Locke's gaze shifted from "Fundamentals of Mysticism" to Rebecca's face, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness.

"What did you say?"

Rebecca felt a chill. She had a blood pact with Locke, so she could fully sense Locke's killing intent just now.

Damn it, Locke Bemon, you actually tried to kill me for a stupid human.

Once this demon recovers the two-thirds of his lost soul and becomes powerful, he'll show you what master-servant swapping really means!

Without saying a word, the demon Rebecca turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared into the pipe.

Through her pipe, she continued to curse Locke through gritted teeth.

The following day, the bells of the Cathedral of Life roused Kossock.

Locke got up early, put on his apron, and started making breakfast.

Today, he prepared Italian-style lazy rolls, also known as pizza rolls, for Eileen's breakfast.

Eileen is a picky witch. She doesn't like eating the same food every morning. If the food doesn't satisfy her, she won't gain any strange abilities, and she won't even get any favor points.

Therefore, Locke had to be just as careful about catering to her tastes as he was with Chief Renis.

The demon Rebecca also put on an apron and assisted from the side.

She discovered that Locke actually enjoyed cooking, and he was responsible for most of the staple foods at home, only occasionally letting her cook.

“Locke, actually the kitchen doesn’t need me at all. You can handle it all by yourself.”

"Who says the kitchen doesn't need you, Rebecca? Take out the trash."

Chapter 114, The Secret of the Witch Irene

Rebecca mentally cursed Locke's parents as she carried the trash to the door.

They happened to run into Paul Church, a newsboy who came to deliver newspapers early in the morning.

The young, naive newsboy Paul Church heard his heart pound the moment he saw Rebecca. His cheeks flushed, he stuffed the newspaper into the Locke family's mailbox, and stared blankly at Rebecca.

Rebecca narrowed her eyes and placed the trash in her hand into Paul Church's hands.

"Could you please take out my trash?"

"Okay, okay, this is my honor."

Paul Church, his face flushed, was so excited he was incoherent, treating the trash in his hands like a precious treasure.

Rebecca raised the corners of her mouth and put her hands on her hips.

Finally, someone on this street has some sense and knows to bow down at the feet of this great demon. Kid, you have a bright future. From now on, all the trash from the Locke Bemon family will be yours to deal with.

This street is mostly residential, and there is a trash can placed every so often.

Since there was no property management at that time, the servants of the households needed to take out the garbage.

Rebecca clearly didn't want to do something so uncouth, and now that she'd met the naive newsboy, she could make the most of him.

Paul Church stood there dumbfounded, clutching the trash, until Rebecca closed the door. Only then did he snap out of it, grab the remaining newspapers and trash, and head to the next stop.

Rebecca returned inside, exhaled a sigh of relief, and began to think about developing her next generation of followers.

Besides rats and cockroaches, humans who are not very intelligent and are not very old are also good targets.

Locke served the prepared pizza rolls on the table, four in total.

Eileen, Hannah, Locke himself, and Rebecca.

Because Locke advocated equality for all, even the maid Rebecca could eat at the table.

"The taste is just average."

Rebecca's eyes lit up as she ate, but she stubbornly insisted on eating.

"I think it's delicious."

Hannah praised him generously.

Locke brought the pizza roll to Eileen's lips, and Eileen gracefully opened her mouth and took a small bite.

Although this wasn't the first time she'd seen this scene, every time, Hannah felt like she'd been inexplicably fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Locke really loves cats.

Hannah sighed inwardly, imagining the black cat giving birth to a litter of adorable kittens, and Locke covered in cats.

Rebecca also began to fantasize about becoming the master and having Locke feed her like this, while the black cat lay in her arms and let her rub it.

Hannah and Rebecca ate their pizzas while each daydreaming about unrealistic things.

Locke focused intently on feeding the cat and prayed for good luck so that he could extract Sheria's strange ability.
