Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Mernadette: Meow meow meow?

You're lying so carelessly.

Although you were both orphans, you were born in Forest Harbor and she in Morrowston.

There is a difference of several thousand kilometers between the two.

How on earth did your parents manage to come here and give birth to Mernadè and then send her to an orphanage just a few years after abandoning you?

Most importantly... Although you are an orphan, your parents, the Severus family, are still certain. They abandoned you because they were seriously ill, and Mernade...

After investigating the two people's life stories, Theresa felt that there were too many things to complain about, and she didn't know how to complain.

Chapter 75: Charles: Admit it! You are my sister

In fact, Charles did not want to acknowledge this sister.

If possible, he would like to have a sister.

But if he told Mernadette that she was his long-lost sister...

No one would believe it...

He wanted to help and protect Mernadette, but her personality would not accept his "unreasonable" protection.

So Charles needed to find a reason for her to accept his help.

Theresa rolled her eyes subtly, but Sif looked at the two of them with great interest.

She had usually only seen such reunions of long-lost siblings in opera houses.

"Lok, Lecturer Rocks... this..." Although Melnade is kind and gentle, she is not a fool...

Could Ciel be her brother?

Of course, this is possible in theory.

But the probability is so small that it can be ignored.

Although she could not sense any ill will from Charles, his unprovoked kindness made Mernadette a little overwhelmed.

"I'm not talking nonsense." As he spoke, Charles took out a strand of hair.

"In order to prove this point, I specially asked Professor Endsworth to find a "blood alien" and I have asked him to verify it. You are really my sister!" Charles tried hard to show excitement and excitement.

"Alien Blood" is a special supernatural sequence that can accommodate the blood of some supernatural creatures to temporarily gain their power. It is considered a relatively powerful emerging supernatural sequence.

However, like most emerging extraordinary sequences, the alien blood ones currently have no future.

At the same time, because the materials related to extraordinary creatures are relatively expensive, most people with different bloods work part-time as "paternity testing experts."

They can analyze the information contained in the body parts of the two people and then determine their relationship based on the degree of similarity between them.

Theresa, who was rolling her eyes, was stunned.

Could it be that... it's because of my own data collection errors?

Are they really brother and sister?

Theresa was filled with doubts—when it came to paternity testing, people with different blood were the authority.

Moreover, because of the identification method, even if the alien blood people are bribed, they cannot hide the relationship between each other.

"If you don't believe me, I can take you to see them tomorrow."

"When you see the real results, you will know that I did not lie to you."

It was easy for Charles to cheat.

There is definitely no connection between them, but Charles can replace the abnormalities that appear on the appraiser's body, and "steal"... no, "take" a successful state from his past appraisals and press it on himself.

Mernadette was still a little confused.

She doesn't understand anything about the alien blood.

But the performance of others seemed to indicate something.

but...

Is she really going to have a brother?

Sensing the hesitation in Mernadette's heart, Charles knew it was time to use his trump card.

He silently took out the book of holy words that Mernadette had copied and returned to him.

"Teacher Sif, Teacher Theresa, could you please leave for a moment? I have something private to say to Melnadette."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on their faces.

They really didn't dare to stand in the yard alone.

That madman is still sleeping at the gate. If he wakes up...

It’s scary to think about.

"Forget it, you guys wait here for a while, Melnadette and I are going to talk in the yard."

The two breathed a sigh of relief and then nodded.

Charles pulled the now confused Mernadette out of the room.

"Do you remember this book?" Charles put the Book of Holy Words in Mernadè's hands again.

In order to let her see more clearly, Charles brought the lantern from the house.

Mernadette took it with some surprise.

“Remember, remember…”

"You haven't learned Fusa, right? The nun who adopted you didn't teach you either." Charles said in a firm tone.

Melnadette suddenly panicked.

"I...I have studied it. Fussa is the language of Frsalia, and it originated from the southern continent..." In order to conceal the peculiarity of Mernadè, the nun once collected many books on language introduction.

These books cannot help people learn a new language, but they can give them some new understanding of that language.

It is a popular science book.

"Fosa language is different from Fosa language." As he spoke, Charles slowly squatted on the ground and put the lantern aside.

He picked up a branch and wrote a sentence on the ground in different languages.

"This is the language of Fussa," he said, pointing to a simple text made up of symbols.

"This is ancient Fussa." He pointed to another text that looked extremely mysterious.

Mernadette trembled like a frightened fawn and a newborn quail.

"This is the ability given to us by our family bloodline." Charles' tone became passionate.

"Our family has a special gift that runs from a very early age, the ability to pass on knowledge of language."

“Every time a family member masters a new language, their children gain another language to inherit.”

"After countless years of ups and downs, the power and wealth that once belonged to our family have disappeared, but the knowledge passed down from generation to generation remains engraved in our souls."

As he spoke these words, he quickly wrote his own words in different languages ​​on the ground in front of the door with a branch.

Every word and even punctuation mark is written in a different language, some profound and some simple, and when put together, even the linguists who master the most languages ​​today cannot understand it.

But Mernadette understood.

She began to think that what Charles said was right...

"I sensed it from the first moment I saw you. This feeling of blood connection cannot be faked."

"Mernadette, you are my sister."

"Do you feel a strange sense of familiarity when you see me?"

Ciel gently ruffled her hair.

Mernadette hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

There is indeed a familiar feeling. After all, Charles is the high priest of the church. As a goddess, she must meet with and encourage him several times even if he stays at home.

After Charles's combination of punches, this was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

She had almost come to believe that Charles was her brother.

only...

Mernadette's gaze fell on the wooden window.

Because the lantern was taken out, it looked a little dim in there.

Although it was pitch black, Mernadette seemed to be able to see the two little guys inside looking at this place with uneasy expressions.

She took a step back.

"I..."

She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Chapter 76 From today on, we are a family

Charles could sense Mernadette's feelings.

So, without waiting for the other party to speak, he said gently, "Don't worry about their problems."

"You are my sister, and your family is my family."

"Although they may not look cute enough, I will definitely take care of them as I would you."

Charles placed his hand on Mernadè's shoulder. "Compared to their current life of starvation, you must want them to have a better life."

Because of the death of the nun in the welfare home, most of the older children went to work in factories or workshops, while the younger ones were adopted by nearby families.

Only two girls were left.

One has a scary birthmark on his face, and the other is born unable to speak.

In this era, such children are born as a "sin", but compared with other children of the same kind, they are much luckier.

"elder brother...?"

Charles' words touched Melnadette, and she raised her head and looked into Charles' eyes.

Charles reached out and touched her head with a faint smile.

Melnadette also smiled and gently hugged Charles.

She could feel the kindness in Charles' heart, but for some reason, she always felt that Charles was lying.

Mernadette could feel the intimacy and kindness from Charles, and she could also feel the authority of the "alien blood" identification that Charles mentioned from Theresa and Sif.

Even the words Charles wrote on the ground and the power brought by the bloodline he compiled were very reasonable.

only...

Despite all this plausibility, Melnadette had a strong feeling that Lecturer Rocks was lying. She couldn't figure out why Charles lied, but she could sense his desire to help her.

At the same time, one could also sense a hint of panic in his heart at this moment.

Perhaps it was to calm the panic, or perhaps it was for her sisters, although her intuition told her that Charles was not her brother.

But she still hugged him gently.

Mernadette knew that her intuition about some things was very accurate.

But intuition is just intuition.

Maybe this time my intuition wasn't so accurate.

Maybe... I really do have a family... a brother who loves me?

Feeling Charles's warm embrace, a gentle smile appeared on her cheeks.

A hint of smile appeared on Charles' cheek. He gently stroked Melnade's hair while thinking about many things in his mind.
