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

It’s definitely over!

"Don't say such things casually." Charles said while rubbing Melnadette's head hard.

"Anyway...you'd better stay away from that guy from now on, otherwise he will be taught a bad lesson."

"Um..." Melnadette said with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "I think Sister Theresa..."

"There are some things that are not suitable for you, brother, to talk about. She, she is quite suitable to teach you."

Things that are not suitable for me to say.

Charles couldn't help but glance at Melnadette.

Looking at Mernadette whose face was becoming increasingly rosy, Charles's expression was a little strange, but he still didn't say anything.

"Since you said so, Mernadette, then I won't come back tonight?" He changed the subject.

Mernadette blushed and nodded.

"You won't hate your brother because of this, will you?" He held Melnadette's hand.

Mernadette shook her head quickly.

"Promise." Charles said like a child.

"I, I promise..." Mernadette said while nodding hurriedly.

As a goddess, she wouldn't go back on her word, right?

With this thought in mind, Charles happily drove the carriage towards the City of Eternal Night.

After making sure that Charles had left, Mernadette felt a little relieved.

She slowly returned to her room and took out the food under the bed.

A full-scale war has not yet broken out, but local wars surrounding the Hotlat have broken out several times.

Moroston is not far from Hotlat, and with the manipulation of some noble merchants, the prices of some items began to rise, and rose to a point where many people could not afford them.

One of them is food.

There is naturally no need to worry about the atmosphere in the school. Not only are the daily lives of lecturers and professors not affected in the slightest, but students also have free lunch.

You won’t get such good treatment anywhere else.

"There are twenty bags under Lily and Lorna's bed...even if something unexpected happens, it's enough to keep my brother, Lorna, Lily and me fed for a long time."

"I have these here, you can give some to Uncle Gene and the others..."

Although Mernadette had no worries about food and clothing because of Charles, she did not enjoy it comfortably. Instead, she insisted on working on campus and thus saved a little bit.

Compared with current food prices, these savings can only buy one or two bags of wheat or corn.

However, thanks to Teresa's care, she was able to stock up on some food at prices that were available before the war broke out.

"Can't we do both..."

In the dark night, Charles had a complicated expression as he watched Melnadette carrying two bags of wheat flour and walking out of the school.

The two things not to do are the constraints on goodness in the Book of the Holy Word.

Don’t do good things that affect yourself and your family.

Don’t do anything that affects the good of others.

The concept represented by the two "don'ts" is very simple, although the Church of the Earth teaches people to be good.

But this goodness is not endless goodness, but rather encourages people to do good deeds without affecting or kidnapping others and themselves.

Because of the war, Mernadé was a little worried about the uncles and aunts around the welfare home.

She wanted to help them.

However, she was also afraid that her behavior would cause Charles to misunderstand something and affect his judgment.

So, although she was doing a good deed, she acted like a thief.

"Mernadette...I understand your thoughts."

"But carrying food to the slums at night..."

Don't you feel any danger?

There wasn't even a public carriage at that time, and the slums were more than ten kilometers away from the college...

Ciel scratched his head and then followed her.

Perhaps due to her living environment, although Mernadette looks weak, she is actually not as weak as she appears.

She carried nearly two hundred pounds of items on her back. Although she stopped for a short while during the journey of more than ten kilometers, she was not too tired.

Contrary to Charles's expectations, he originally thought that Mernadette would encounter some trouble.

But it didn't.

After entering the slums, she became very cautious in her movements and the path she chose was also very remote.

Although she encountered some situations along the way, she handled them all in a very skillful manner.

To be able to live in the slums for so long...

Even for a goddess, kindness alone is not enough.

"Eh...?" After arriving at the former site of the welfare home, Mernadette was stunned for a moment.

Because this place is very different from the welfare home she has in mind.

Some of the neighboring houses have disappeared, and new houses made of wooden boards have appeared in their place.

Faintly, Mernadé could still see some black scorched earth around the new house.

Did something happen?

She was a little confused. After piling two bags of food in a secret little house in the welfare home, she tiptoed through a small hole behind the welfare home, and then passed through a winding alley. A huge mountain of garbage appeared in front of her.

Seeing some adults and children rummaging through garbage in front of the garbage mountain, she breathed a sigh of relief and then grabbed a familiar figure.

She took out half a piece of black bread from her bosom and gave it to the hungry child in front of her. Then he gradually learned some of the things that happened here after she left.

Although most of them were rumors and unfounded speculation, she still knew about a fire that engulfed many people here.

For a moment she felt sad.

Although this kind of thing happens several times a year here, she still feels uncomfortable every time it happens.

With some worries in her mind, Mernadé returned to the welfare home and began to sort the food she had carried with her.

Because she was thinking about too many things, she didn't notice a familiar figure following behind her.

It was the child to whom she had just given half a piece of black bread and asked some questions.

His gaze lingered on the two bags of wheat flour for a moment, his breathing became a little rapid, and then he tiptoed towards his home.

When people can barely survive, there are generally still some "good people" here.

However, when everyone gradually becomes unable to survive, most of those "good people" will disappear.

Either actively transform or passively disappear...

A green-yellow energy was faintly visible in Charles's hand, and his gaze gradually became cold as he floated in the air.

But after hesitating for a while, he finally did not take action directly.

"Perhaps...his story can help you understand something..."

"God loves the world, but not everyone is worth saving."

He said this, but finally revealed a complicated smile.

If you follow Charles's thinking, he might have been a person who was not worthy of being saved.

But when Charles, with his exhausted body, risked being sent to the stake and broke into the church to avoid the crisis, and hid behind the statue of the goddess to avoid the priest's inspection, her first reaction was not to punish herself, but to comfort herself.

Comforting myself who was panicking and frightened at the time because my life was in danger.

"I hope you can seize the opportunity... and not make Mernadette sad."

Looking at the starry sky, Charles said softly, but he knew that there was a high probability that his inner expectations would be dashed.

Sometimes, in order to survive, humans can let go of a lot of things.

Creak - the door was opened, and when they saw Mernadè sitting in the house with a somewhat panicked look on her face, the eyes of the three family members were filled with green light.

They pushed Mernade away without hesitation and snatched away the food she had carried with great effort.

"Mom...I heard that she has a brother in the inner city. Maybe we can catch her and make her brother take out more things..." Looking at Mernadette who was lying on the ground, the child said loudly.

The two people who were about to leave with their things on their backs stopped.

"Will this attract the attention of the patrol police?" the middle-aged woman hesitated.

"No one will care about us here, and even if they do, it will be difficult for them to find us." The middle-aged man showed a ferocious expression.

At that time, as long as the arrangements are made, the person who comes here to pay the ransom will be kidnapped and buried together with this guy, then everything can be treated as if nothing happened.

This kind of thing happens here every month, every week, and even every day.

Many people died because of it, but more people got a chance to live because of it.

Two bags of food were a lot, but they wanted more.

Looking at the people with darkness in their eyes, Mernadette, who was lying on the ground, silently picked up the wooden stick she had just put aside.

Many people don’t know that after the nun left, Mernadette used a wooden stick to beat away many people who sneaked into the orphanage at night.

She was just pushed to the ground because she didn't want to do anything to these poor people.

Chapter 94 Chapter 93 Look~ How Kind I Am~

There is no pattern in Mernadette's stick techniques, and the places she attacks are not vital.

But her rich experience allowed her to quickly defeat the three people who wanted to capture her.

Looking at the family of three groaning on the ground, Mernadé touched her forehead.

Someone just hit me with a stone.

This level of pain was nothing to her, but... she still couldn't help but frown.

"How should I explain this to my brother..." The injuries on her body were nothing serious, but the one on her forehead was too obvious, and it would be difficult for her to explain if asked.

The thing she's worst at is lying.

Mernadette was a little panicked, but she still calmed down and redistributed the stolen food and put it into some small bags.

When she was about to leave, she hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to keep the smallest one in her bag.

A little while after Mernadette left the orphanage, a man wearing only a loose black short-sleeved shirt that looked like rags walked in unsteadily holding a teddy bear doll patched up with various fabrics.

At this time, the family who had just hurt Mernade were slowly getting up and preparing to leave.

Floyd didn't look at them, but stared blankly at the teddy bear in his arms.

Although the three were a little frightened by Floyd's appearance, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that he didn't seem to be paying attention to them.

They looked at each other, slowly stuffed the bag of food into their clothes, and then quietly walked past Floyds.

Tick ​​tock...

A faint voice appeared in Floyd's ears.

He slowly turned his head.

"Blood...it's blood..." Floyd murmured softly, and then his face became ferocious.

"Who allowed you to bleed in this place?!"

Floyd stood up suddenly, then grabbed the middle-aged man's neck with one hand.

"I...I...we don't want to either..." the man said tremblingly.

His children and wife tried to save him, but Floyd kicked them into a corner.
