Becoming a god by raising witches

It summoned itself here.

Uncle Martin chuckled and drank a glass of wine. "This is on you."

"Of course, I can offer you even more drinks, after all, you've protected me for so long, Mr. Knight."

Locke smiled and raised his glass.

Uncle Martin paused for a moment, patted Kai's head, and handed him 2 mice. "Kai, go outside and buy a cherry pie."

"Okay, Dad, I love cherry pie the most."

Kai happily rushed out of the tavern with the money, looking for the cherry pie vendor.

Uncle Martin looked at Locke, his honest expression turning cunning.

When did you find out?

“You should know that I read my father’s diary. Although it’s incomplete and only contains fragments, I’ve learned a lot from it. We both belong to the realm of knowledge. After my guardian knight died, you took charge of looking after me. Although you never interfered in my life, I could sense that you were always there. Now I’m in danger, and I need the church’s help.”

Locke said with a serious expression.

"Why should the church help you? You're nothing but a failed experiment. Why should we waste our precious resources on a failed experiment? I've been protecting Hannah, not you."

Uncle Martin also confessed that since the other party already knew and still felt such a strong sense of belonging to the Church of Knowledge, he would stop pretending.

"You think I'm a failure, but that's just because your perspective is too narrow. I need to communicate with the higher-ups; I need their support."

Locke said directly.

"Higher-ups? If you can't even convince me, I'm sorry, you'll never get to see them."

Uncle Martin shook his head and said.

“I saw the Infinity Serpent in my dream. It was already trying to communicate with me. I believe that it won’t be long before I awaken its power. Is the Church going to just watch me get executed by Katerina before I awaken?”

Locke questions Martin, one of the Twenty-Four Knights of the Knowledge Cult.

Martin was stunned.

The Infinite Serpent is a symbol of the Lord of the Abyss and Chaos.

If that's the case, then it proves that Locke was the most successful experimental subject.

Furthermore, in the future, all members of the Knowledge Sect should worship Him as a deity.

If it weren't for the crowded and noisy tavern, Martin would have knelt down and sworn allegiance right then and there.

"I will report to higher-ups. Please tell me in detail about the crisis you are facing."

Very good, you've even changed your title. You're really eager to improve, aren't you?

Locke thought to himself, and said to Martin,

"I don't know if Her Majesty the Queen has noticed the resurgence of Him within me. She has already dispatched female knights from the Black Rose Organization to hunt me down. I believe it won't be long before I am wanted by the entire nation. Before that happens, I hope you can use the Knowledge Sect's years of accumulation in the capital to help me overcome this crisis."

"Queen Katerina is a deep, suspicious, and decisive person. Once she makes a decision, it is difficult to change it. If she intends to kill you, you would be better off staying away from here and returning to Herta, our base camp."

Martin offered his advice.

"No, I can't go back now."

Going back would be like escaping one tiger's den only to fall into another. Am I stupid?

Locke rubbed his temples. "I need you to create chaos so that Her Majesty the Queen has no time for me, or rather, to make her see my worth."

"I understand what you mean, I will pass it on to my superiors."

Martin said.

"Is Kai the same as me?"

Locke asked again.

Martin shook his head. "No, Kay is not like you. He is a true failure."

As expected, they were the same experimental subjects.

Locke patted Martin on the shoulder. "Thank you, Mr. Knight. I don't know your code name yet."

"Lily Knight".

Martin said.

Locke was quite surprised.

I never imagined that the Lily Knight would be a middle-aged man. Even if he wasn't a beautiful witch, he should at least be a young and beautiful woman, right?

After all, lilies symbolize pure love.

However, he immediately thought of the records in the Bureau of Investigation's files regarding the Church of Knowledge's public information that he had seen before.

The Lily Knight is skilled in disguise, her gender is unknown, and her ability is to create various doors and travel to any place through them. As a result, she has been wanted for many years but has never been arrested.

After reaching an agreement with Lily Knight Martin, Locke left the tavern.

But he did not shield himself from probing Martin's inner thoughts.

'The Infinite Serpent? If that person really has been resurrected, it proves the higher-ups' decision was correct. It seems we'll need to invest a lot of resources to feed Experiment 009.'

When Locke returned to Reindeer Manor, night had already fallen.

The deep purple night sky was dotted with dazzling stars, illuminating the country lanes and the tombstones in the cemetery.

His followers Antonia Madeline Megdalena and Finnie Salles were reunited at the manor, hand in hand, to thank Locke for his great blessing that allowed them to be together again.

Locke didn't want to eat dog food, so he sent the two of them to the vegetable garden to grow vegetables.

Hannah looked at Locke nervously.

"Locke, what happened? I can no longer go to work?"

"It's only temporary; I will solve this problem."

"Locke, is it really possible that the Mysterious Events Club has members from the Church of Knowledge? He claims to know the Azure Knight. Should I continue to make contact with him?"

Hannah recently went deep into the club and actually uncovered some clues.

But these clues are insignificant in the face of the current crisis.

"Hannah, we don't need to for now. Don't take the initiative to contact them."

I'll handle the contacting them.

Locke added inwardly.

Hannah looked somewhat disappointed, but she still wanted to know what had happened that made her move in such a hurry.

“I have offended Her Majesty Queen Katerina, which is why I am in a hurry to move out. We need to wait for a suitable time to go back.”

Locke picked up a cup of black tea and said.

"You've decided to use knowledge to teach?"

"Eileen asked."

"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking, and we'll also need to make use of demigod-level necromancers."

Locke's lips curled up slightly, a half-formed plan already brewing in his mind.

Hannah breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw Locke's expression.

Suddenly, the temperature in the air rose significantly.

A figure in a dark blue color appeared in the room.

Locke turned around and saw Bronya Peters, who was covered in wounds. Bronya Peters respectfully handed 20 Witch Hearts to Locke.

Locke stared in astonishment at the 20-odd purple crystals, suddenly feeling like a farmer in autumn, enjoying a bountiful harvest.

“I killed all the witches in the organization who were weaker than me, and I left indelible marks. Great master, I must go. If I stay here, I will only implicate you.”

Bronya Peters knelt on the ground and said with self-reproach.

"Okay, then you should go hide somewhere, go to the abandoned Rense Cemetery."

The Rense Cemetery is where the necromancer Rosalia Jiménez is buried. It is a place that is difficult to detect from the outside world, and even Bronya Peters' presence should be well hidden.

This is why, despite the many undead creatures hidden in that abandoned cemetery, it has remained undiscovered by the authorities for so many years.

Locke was very satisfied with Bronya Peters' efficiency.

Seeing her covered in wounds, Locke asked Eileen,

Is there any way to cure her?

Eileen shook her head. "Healing the undead is different from normal healing. I'm afraid we need to ask Finney Sares."

Locke called back Fini Sares, who was on a date in the vegetable garden.

Can you cure Bronya?

Fini Sares lifted her skirt and bowed slightly. "It's an honor to serve you."

Well, it seems that Fini Sares is in a very good mood because she is in love. She has even learned to bow politely and has not given any malicious advice.

Finnie Sares used Undead Healing to heal Bronya's wounds.

Although the whole process was somewhat disgusting.
