Becoming a god by raising witches

"If you have a headache, I can help you treat it."

Louisa proudly extended her little face, "Sister Lux taught me this. She said that if I learned it, I would be needed by people, and now I am finally needed by you."

Locke paused for a moment, then patted Louisa's head. "Thank you, Louisa."

"You're welcome."

"Louise, where have you been? Come here quickly."

Sister Sinai finally found Louisa and hurriedly picked her up. "There's a very important choir practice today, have you forgotten? If you don't rehearse well before Life Day, I will be punished."

"Waaah, just let me rest for a bit."

Louisa tried to charm Sinai, but this tactic was ineffective. Sinai gave Locke an apologetic smile and left with Louisa.

Upon hearing the words "Day of Life," Locke suddenly felt an even greater sense of urgency.

Locke walked out of the prayer hall and saw the perfect Sister Lux.

Lux's situation is not quite the same as Hannah's, but the person who can seal her evil side within her must be extraordinary. Could Hannah adopt such a method to seal the evil god away forever?

Thinking this, Locke took the initiative to step forward and greet Lux.

"Lux, good morning."

"Good morning, Mr. Locke."

Lux gave a sweet smile. "You seem to be in a bad mood. Do you need any help?"

"Yes, Lux, I'd like to ask you some questions, if it's convenient."

Locke looked at Lux, who smiled and said, "Of course, anytime."

The two went to a nearby confessional.

In the dimly lit confessional room, Lux's gentle voice was like a warm breeze, with a healing effect.

Locke finally understood why those believers all wanted to find Lux. After Lux comforted him for a while, he felt a sense of enlightenment.

"Lux, were you corrupted by an evil god before?"

After talking for about ten minutes, Locke got down to business.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't tell her, but the perfect nun Lux would never lie.

She nodded. "I'm not actually from here. My hometown was invaded by an evil god, and I was corrupted, but luckily I was saved by Bishop Norbu."

Nob Stott, Cardinal of the Cathedral of Life.

"Did he seal away the corrupted side of you?"

Locke asked.

"I don't know, all I know is that he saved me."

Lux said.

Locke believed that Lux couldn't possibly be lying, meaning that the person who sealed away her evil side might be Bishop Norb, or someone else entirely.

Given that his previous inquiries with Boyd had aroused Boyd's suspicion, he did not intend to rashly inquire about the method from Bishop Norb.

Church officials are likely to be more vigilant about this kind of thing.

We must find a perfect reason and excuse.

"Thank you, Lux. It was a pleasure chatting with you."

"Locke, it was a pleasure chatting with you. I hope I was of any help to you."

Lux said with a smile.

“If it weren’t for my work, I would love to talk to you more.”

Locke said.

"It's okay, we'll have another chance to talk next time."

Lux said gently.

The two said their goodbyes, and Locke left the confessional, only to see Miss Andy again.

Miss Andy's maid has changed. Today, she is wearing a gorgeous green dress, a black mesh hat, and has fair skin with a melancholy look in her beautiful eyes.

Since the last attack on the Duke of Hagen's mansion, many rumors have circulated among the noble ladies, damaging her reputation, and she has become somewhat depressed.

When she saw Locke, a strange light appeared in her eyes.

"Rock Bemon? What are you doing here?"

Andy looked at Locke with surprise.

"Miss Andy, it's been a long time. I'm at church praying."

Locke said.

"I'm here to pray too. How have you been lately?"

Andy asked.

"Not so good. How about Miss Andy?"

"Me too, we always encounter some unpleasant things."

The two smiled at each other, and Andy felt that he and Locke had more in common.

"Locke, can we take a walk together?"

Andy asked.

Locke paused for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Of course, it would be my honor."

Andy and Locke walked together on the tree-lined avenue next to the Cathedral of Life in San Figueires, near the upper reaches of the Cossol River.

Even in winter, despite several blizzards, the upper reaches of the Kosol River remained unfrozen, thanks to the alchemists' special alchemy.

The Kosol River nurtured more than half of the life in the Kingdom of Tumen, making it crucial to ensure that the river remained unfrozen and unpolluted.

The river breeze brushed against his face, feeling like a knife scraping his cheek. Locke tugged at the scarf around his neck to cover his mouth and nose.

Miss Andy had a faint fragrance, but most of the followers of the Life Church had a complex and indescribable scent.

A gentle breeze could carry all these scents into Locke's nostrils.

The maid always stayed by Andy's side. She was a tall and strong Vis tribeswoman. Besides serving as a maid, her most important role was to protect Miss Andy. Since Miss Andy was kidnapped last time, Duke Hagen had recruited a group of Vis tribeswomen at high salaries, and the maid was one of the best among them.

Her skin was dark and rough, and even in a maid outfit, she gave off a "muscle Barbie" vibe, making Miss Andy appear even more petite and adorable.

The two were taking a walk, and the silence was somewhat awkward.

Locke was a man of great eloquence, but he spoke very little today because he had many things on his mind.

Finally, Miss Andy couldn't help but break the silence first.

"Rock Bemon, I'm getting engaged."

"?"

Locke looked at Miss Andy with regret.

You get engaged, and then what?

“My father wants me to marry Joffrey Fruhl, the eldest son of the Duke of Fruhl, saying that he will inherit the duke’s title in the future, but I have no desire to marry Joffrey Fruhl.”

Andy expressed her distress, hoping that Locke could save her from danger again, just like he did when she was kidnapped last time.

Furthermore, she harbored girlish longing and feelings for Locke, hoping that Locke would also like her, or at least show sadness and opposition to her engagement.

“I’ve seen Mr. Joffrey Fruhl in many news reports. He’s said to be a great philanthropist, which is probably not a bad thing.”

Locke said.

“Rock Bemon, but I don’t like Joffrey Fruhl. I have no feelings for him. We’ve only met a few times at balls. He’s not my type. He…”

Andy bit her lip. "The most crucial thing isn't him, it's not his problem, it's myself."

Locke paused, then asked, "Miss Andy, what are you trying to say?"

“Rock Bemon, take me with you.”

Andy suddenly grabbed Locke's hand.

Her personal maid immediately became alert, glaring at Locke with hostility.

Locke ignored the maid's expression, only glancing at Andy in surprise.

He released Andy's hand. "I'm sorry, Miss Andy."

Normally, if a beautiful and wealthy duke's daughter confessed her love to him, Locke would at least be happy for a while. Unfortunately, he was preoccupied with his own thoughts and couldn't feel any joy at all, let alone elope with Miss Andy.

“Miss Andy, if you really don’t want to marry Mr. Joffrey Fruhl, I suggest you tell Duke Hagen directly that he loves you very much and will respect your decision.”

"No, he would have definitely agreed to my request under normal circumstances, but things are different now."

Locke looked at the beautiful but bewildered Miss Andy.
