With the deliberate operation of Viscount Lister Roald, the news about the engagement between the foreign prince and Miss Mana quickly spread throughout the territory and even the surrounding areas.

It was obvious that he was deliberately creating momentum to arrange a legal identity for their offspring.

After all, illegitimate children have no inheritance rights in the aristocratic circle. The most they can do is to be trained as servants, attendants, coachmen or butlers.

Many noble parents didn't even care about the life or death of their illegitimate children, leaving them to fend for themselves without even bothering to ask a single question.

In order to satisfy the curiosity of local nobles about the "foreign prince", Viscount Lister Roald specially held a grand engagement ceremony and invited all the neighbors.

Zuo Si's performance did not disappoint him. He soon conquered the entire aristocratic circle with his temperament, demeanor, conversation and charm.

Because anyone who has seen this "Prince" in person will involuntarily sigh that this is a true aristocrat.

Compared with them, the local nobles were too shallow and low-class.

Whether it was their dressing style, food, clothing, housing and transportation, or their attainments in art, literature and philosophy, they were all without exception crushed in all directions and in all dimensions.

Especially that strong temperament of a superior and the habits that he inadvertently displays in his daily life are enough to prove that he is a ruler who is accustomed to giving orders and making others obey him.

So no matter what they thought at the beginning, all they feel now is envy and jealousy.

Because through this marriage, the Roald family not only successfully solved the hidden danger of inheritance rights, but also gained a new family member. It was simply a pie in the sky.

However, no one noticed the murderous intent hidden behind the happiness.

"Master, are you really going to marry Miss Mana? The total chat time between the two of you is not even more than five hours."

Paris, the personal maid, looked at Zuo Si who was standing at the window looking out. She was obviously shocked, puzzled and stunned by this sudden engagement.

She simply could not imagine that two people who had just met for the first time and had never had a deep understanding of each other could decide to be their life partner based on just a few words.

Zuo Si, in particular, did not show the slightest admiration, happiness or joy from beginning to end.

It was as if he was not planning to marry another noble lady, but just deciding what to eat in the evening.

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Ah, that's right. This is the marriage of nobles. You are not used to it and you can't understand it at all, right?"

Paris smiled bitterly and replied, "I can't understand it. Because in my opinion, marriage is a lifelong thing for two people, and it must be done carefully, carefully, and carefully again."

“See, this is the biggest difference between commoners and nobles.

For the nobility, marriage is never a matter between two people, but a matter between two families.

Personal feelings and wishes never matter.

Because this is an obligation and a responsibility that every noble must bear.

The purpose of marriage is to find allies for the family and gain benefits.

As for the relationship after marriage, it is best if you get along well.

If they don't get along, they can just go their separate ways after the heir is left.

Men can have mistresses and women can have lovers.

Otherwise, where do you think so many love poems and love stories between noble ladies and knights in the court came from?"

Zuo Sikuai did not hide anything and openly exposed the halo of the nobility and the truth hidden behind the marriage.

For those who are truly rich and powerful, marriage has never had anything to do with love.

Rather, it is an exchange and combination of interests in order to ensure that the wealth and power owned by oneself, future generations, and even the entire family will not flow out.

Even go a step further on the original basis.

So what about the poor boy marrying a fair, rich and beautiful woman and becoming the winner in life, or the modern version of Cinderella drama where an ordinary girl is spotted by a domineering CEO and marries into a wealthy family...

Although it is not completely impossible, the probability of it happening is even lower than winning the lottery jackpot.

Even if there are occasionally some young masters or young ladies who are unable to distinguish the importance of things and are willing to do anything for love, as long as the family behind them cuts off all financial resources and connections, they will quickly succumb as they have been accustomed to a life of luxury since childhood.

Because when it comes to quality of life, it is always easier to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

It is impossible for a person who is used to living in a big villa to be like the low-level workers who have to squeeze into a shared house of more than ten square meters for years, share a bathroom and kitchen with several people, and haggle over the expenses of food, oil and salt every month.

Maybe it can be tolerated for a short time, but it will inevitably explode completely over time.

Therefore, love and marriage with unequal identities and status usually cannot last long. When the passion fades, all that remains are conflicts and resentment.

What's more, the efforts in aristocratic marriages are mutual.

If one party cannot give the other party what they want, then the basis for the marriage no longer exists.

Especially in this land filled with war, plague, disease, hunger and killing, any nobles who can survive the cruel elimination are often terrible in reality.

Because anyone who is a little stupid or emotional is basically dead.

"So you don't like Miss Mana at all?"

Paris was stunned as she digested this explosive information that she had never been able to access before.

Zuo Si chuckled and explained, “It doesn’t matter whether I like her or not, what matters is what I can gain from this marriage.

Whether as a noble or a ruler, if you cannot put aside your emotions and weigh the pros and cons from an absolutely rational perspective, you are unqualified.

Because this weakness will be noticed by other nobles and then exploited.

He will bring terrible war and disaster to his territory and his subjects."

"I see." Paris nodded, not quite understanding. "So what exactly can you gain from this marriage?"

“It’s simple, the inheritance rights of the Roald family.

Or to put it more bluntly, after Viscount Lister Roald dies, he will indirectly control the family through Mana.

It's like in some countries, when the old king dies but has no sons or brothers, the throne can only be inherited by women.

If her husband is smart enough, he can take this opportunity to gain enormous power, and even sideline the queen to become the de facto controller of the country.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, no noble would choose to let a woman inherit the throne.

Because her marriage alone would cause a host of problems and troubles.

Most importantly, if I had said no that night, what do you think Lord Lester Roald would have done?"

Zuo Si was very interested in teaching this personal maid who had only been following him for a short time.

Because after a few days of getting along, he found that this young girl had great potential in some aspects.

And perhaps because he works in a tavern and comes into contact with more people and information, he is much smarter and more clever than ordinary civilians.

"You mean that if I refuse, Viscount Lister Roald will kill me?"

Paris was so frightened that she shuddered.

She had never doubted the coldness and cruelty of the nobles.

Especially when conflicts and contradictions broke out between two noble lords, the first thing they usually did was to plunder, massacre and burn the other party's villages near the border.

When another noble lord learned that his village was burned down, his first reaction was not to save the survivors, but to bring his army to burn the other village in revenge.

The final result is most likely that the two sides will burn down a few villages and fight a few battles before they calm down and shake hands and make peace.

As for the villagers who were massacred and looted, they were merely victims of the nobles' venting of anger.

In addition, there are rumors that many missing young girls and even young children were sent to the nobles' manors and castles and never came out again.

Zuo Si nodded with a playful look on his face: "That's right.

In fact, in the eyes of Viscount Lister Roald, I was always under his control.

He can end my life at any time if he wants.

What's more, he has many more secrets than you can imagine.

To be honest, I am now looking forward to the showdown day and the moment when his true colors are revealed.

I believe it will be very, very interesting and exciting.”

"You treat such a dangerous thing as a game?"

Paris seemed to realize something and her eyes widened in disbelief.

She had obviously never imagined that such a crazy soul was hidden in the heart of her erudite, gentle, always polite and elegant master.

"Why not? After all, this world is sad enough, filled with darkness, pain, despair, and inexplicable cause and effect and fate. Wouldn't it be boring if we don't find some excitement and fun?"

After saying this, Zuo Si looked out the window at the towns and villages above and below.

In his opinion, this territory is already his own property, and it is also the key to integrating into the web of cause and effect woven by the God of the Abyss.

Although given the scale of this world's sea of ​​souls and thoughts, the power possessed by the God of the Abyss cannot be compared with the Chaos God of the Warhammer Universe, but this does not mean that it has no research value.

On the contrary, the reason for its birth and its form of existence are completely the highest level of conceptual gods and philosophical gods, and it is the dark side born out of the collective consciousness of mortals transcending the individual.

This means that it is the embodiment of evil and desire in human nature, and is the devil that exists in the deepest part of the heart of everyone in this world.

What Zuo Si wants to do is to touch it, understand it, replace it, and become it...

By making this God of the Abyss a part of himself, Zuo Si will be able to complete his transformation and truly become a symbol of evil in the entire multiverse with the help of the power of the Planeswalker Spark.

In addition, he will gain the ability to weave his own destiny.

Then such little things as catching little Annie and cleaning her up would be as easy as eating and drinking.

In fact, since arriving in this world, Zuo Si has been trying to integrate.

He could very clearly feel the vibration of the web of causality and destiny surrounding the entire world when he interacted with the people around him, or even did something that might affect the so-called "critical historical process."

It was obvious that the God of the Abyss felt the huge and terrifying evil in Zuo Si's heart and was trying to bring him under his control.

Because the God of the Abyss is a conceptual god and a philosophical god.

This means that although it has self-awareness, it must succumb to its innate nature and has no resistance to evil people who have strong desires and ambitions in their hearts.

In other words, the God of the Abyss is essentially a ruthless wish-fulfillment machine.

Anyone with a strong enough desire can make a wish through something like Behelet, but the price is that they must sacrifice their humanity and gradually become an extension of the will of the God of the Abyss.

The more humanity a person can sacrifice, the closer he is to the God of the Abyss.

This is also the biggest difference between the apostles and the Hand of God.

Zuo Si wasn't sure whether this God of the Abyss wanted to break through the barrier between the two worlds like the four vendors in the Warhammer universe.

But it is undeniable that as time goes by, its influence and control over the real world will become stronger and stronger.

From the birth of the first God's Hand to Griffith's ascension to become the fifth God's Hand, all of this has a traceable path.

In the absence of external interference, perhaps in the end all of humanity will be swallowed up and turned into one.

The God of the Abyss controls everyone like the will of the hive, or in other words, everyone is an extension of its spirit, thought and will.

Humans will no longer have so-called free will, and will not even need to think. Naturally, they will no longer have negative emotions such as pain, loneliness, anger, etc. They will just need to leave everything to God.

Although this kind of future sounds terrifying and frightening, it is the subconscious desire of most people.

Therefore, everything the God of the Abyss does can be summarized as fulfilling the wishes of mankind.

I have to say, this is really ironic and full of black humor.

"Are you planning to replace Viscount Lister Roald as the master of this territory?"

Paris raised her head and cautiously tested it.

Zuo Si turned around and walked straight to the maid, reaching out his hand to gently stroke her face which had become delicate and exquisite after being cared for by the magic ointment, staring into her emerald green eyes like gemstones, then bent down and whispered in her ear: "The owner of this territory?

No, I want this country and this continent.

A mere piece of territory cannot satisfy my appetite.

And from now on you must try your best to learn the knowledge I teach you.

Because if you want to keep up with me, it's not enough to just do some work like serving tea and water.

I expect more from you.

So please don't let me down, okay?"

Paris, who was born as a waitress in a small town bar, could not stand this kind of stimulation. Her muscles instantly tensed up, her heart beat wildly, her face was covered with an abnormal blush, and even her breathing became rapid.

Especially the hot air that came out of Zuo Si's mouth when he spoke, his magnetic voice, and his huge ambition that he couldn't describe in words...

All of this has a fatal attraction for a young girl.

Even though I know it is very dangerous!

Even if I will be burned to ashes like a moth to a flame!

She also wanted to follow the man in front of her, even if the price was being deceived, toyed with, and finally ruthlessly abandoned.

After several minutes, Paris slowly recovered from the excitement, anticipation, and desire, and responded with a trembling voice: "Please rest assured, I swear I will never let you down even if I die."

"Haha, I like your eyes and reaction right now, very cute."

After saying that, Zuo Si stretched out a finger and pressed it on the other person's forehead, then moved it down along the nose, across the lips, chin, neck, and stopped at the heart position in the chest.

As a psychological master with a deep understanding of human nature, he obviously knew very well what his personal maid really desired in her heart.

To be precise, it should be what most young women desire in their hearts.

That is the excitement that is the exact opposite of a comfortable life!

This is also the reason why most women actually prefer "bad men" in their hearts.

Perhaps as they grow older and mature psychologically, they will gradually compromise with reality and find an honest man to marry and live a stable life, but the desire for danger and excitement deep in their bones has not disappeared.

Countless people who have been good wives and mothers for more than ten years suddenly cheat on their spouses when they reach middle age. It is likely that this desire has been suppressed for a long time and then suddenly got out of control.

Therefore, in a relationship between men and women, the more honest, conservative, dutiful, and introverted a man is, the less likely he is to win the favor of women.

Unless it’s your first love who you’ve been with since school days, there’s a high chance that you’ll end up being the one to take the blame.

This is like animals like peacocks, where males must show off their colorful feathers to females in order to win the right to mate.

And women are always more emotional than rational.

It is far from enough to simply satisfy their desire for material enjoyment, otherwise once that feeling comes, they will rush forward regardless of everything.

Just when Paris's vision began to become strained and her sanity was on the verge of collapse, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly cooled the raging fire in her heart. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, then took two steps back to create a distance of two or three meters.

Just three or five seconds later, Mana, wearing a white long dress, appeared at the door of the room, opened her arms, turned around and asked, "How is it, does this dress look good on me?"

"Of course! You are always the most beautiful in my eyes. You look beautiful no matter what you wear."

Zuo Si has never been stingy with compliments like this that can win the other person's favor without having to pay anything.

What's more, the other party is just a sixteen-year-old noble girl, who is at the age that is most likely to be immersed in sweet words and cannot extricate herself.

What's more, she was about to lose all her loved ones and witness the most horrible and dark side of the entire family.

"Thanks."

A shy blush appeared on Mana's face, and she was completely unaware of the envy and jealousy in Paris' eyes.

The latter was obviously very clear that with his background he would never be able to stand beside Zuo Si as openly as the other party.

This has nothing to do with appearance, ability or figure, it's simply because he doesn't have aristocratic blood.

In other words, this is a job that tests one's reincarnation skills.

Unfortunately, the maid was obviously not lucky enough in this regard, so she had to choose another way.

However, what made her feel relieved was that compared to this noble lady, Zuo Si obviously trusted her more and even took the initiative to share many secrets with her.

The ambiguous and needed feeling made her feel a strong sense of satisfaction involuntarily.

"You came running up from downstairs just to show me this new dress?"

Zuo Si obviously noticed the reactions of the two young women in the room, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a playful smile.

Before the spark of becoming a planeswalker was ignited, he once heard people say that men who were two-timing or even multiple-timing scumbags were essentially animals who thought with their lower body and could not control their belts at all.

But after experiencing it personally, he found that this statement was actually wrong.

In addition to being driven by the primitive instinct of reproduction and continuation of their own genes, what these people really enjoy is the satisfaction brought by manipulating, deceiving, and playing with women, which is more like a disguised desire for dominance and power.

It is not difficult to tell from the tone and attitude of this noble lady that she, without too much scheming, has completely regarded Zuo Si as the person with whom she will spend the rest of her life.

After all, compared to marrying those old and ugly men, or those greedy and lustful perverts with all kinds of unknown special hobbies, Zuo Si's performance is simply outstanding, like a prince charming from a fairy tale.

Coupled with the amazing charm attribute, Mana will offer herself voluntarily as long as there is a slight hint.

"Oh? Now?"

Zuo Si touched his chin with a thoughtful expression, obviously realizing that Viscount Lister Roald might want to confront him.

Because the other party has been constantly testing them these past few days, and deliberately took away the magic giant sword and armor under the pretext of helping to keep them.

Mana nodded quickly: “Yes.

And I'm a little worried about my mother.

She had locked herself in her room for many days, and even her meals were delivered to her room by servants.

叔叔说她可能是因为看到我要出嫁想起了死去的父亲，所以略微有些伤感。

也不知道为何，我总觉得自从父亲去世后母亲一直活得非常痛苦，从来没有露出过真正的笑容。

另外，整个城堡从上到下似乎都在极力隐瞒着什么。”

“放松点，别忘了还有我呢嘛？无论发生什么，我都会保护你、不会让你受到任何伤害的。”

左思捧起贵族少女的脸亲吻了一下对方的额头。

玛娜整个人像是触电了一样先是身体绷紧、僵硬，随后迅速软化下来，脑袋轻轻靠在宽阔的肩膀上，内心之中升起一种莫名的安全感。

至于一旁的女仆小姐则嫉妒的都快要发狂了，两只手死死钻成拳头恨不能立刻将其推开取而代之。

但是很可惜，她不能这样做。

因为这是左思计划的一部分，同时也是那庞大野心的起点，绝对不允许有任何意外。

不过恶趣味的左思显然觉得这还不够，在安抚好怀中少女的情绪后直接将其推到给帕丽斯：“玛娜就交给你了。记得照顾好她，在我回来之前最好不要乱跑。”

“明白！”

女仆小姐强忍着熊熊燃烧的嫉妒之火勉强挤出一丝笑容作为回应。

“你们俩要好好相处呦。”

左思似笑非笑的撂下这句话之后便转身走了出去，压根没有理会身后两个女人之间诡异的气氛。

毕竟当渣男最重要的一条准则就是永远不内耗，而是要让身边的女性内耗、为了讨自己欢心而不断争宠。

就如同捞女PUA男人总是会展示自己有多么受欢迎，然后让追求者、备胎和舔狗们相互竞争给自己送钱、送礼物。

穿过狭长的走廊和楼梯，左思在一名仆人的带领下来到城堡地下一层。

这里原本是用来关押罪犯、折磨和拷问俘虏的地方，因此地面和墙壁上可以看到大量干涸凝固的黑色血迹。

各种五花八门的刑具也是一应俱全，仿佛在诉说着曾经在这里发生过的可怕事情。

不过眼下牢房里却空空如也，只有脏兮兮的老鼠、蟑螂偶尔会从黑暗的角落爬出来，然后又迅速消失在隐秘的角落。

“你觉得这个地方怎么样？”

站在其中一处铁栅栏外面的李斯特·罗尔德子爵突然没头没脑的开口问了一句。

“你是指这座地牢，还是指那些刑具？”

刚刚顺着楼梯走下来的左思十分随意的反问。

李斯特·罗尔德子爵意味深长的解释道：“全部。

要知道我的父亲曾经是远近闻名的残暴领主。

他非常喜欢折磨和虐待胆敢忤逆自己的人并以此为乐。

你所看到的这些东西都是在他统治时期建造起来的。

小的时候我和哥哥都曾经被强迫观看对那些囚犯上刑的残忍画面，并且留下了巨大的心理阴影。

也因为如此，等父亲死后哥哥才立志要当一个仁慈善良的领主。

他不仅释放了所有的囚犯，而且还给了他们一大笔钱作为补偿，同时废除父亲统治时发布的严酷法令。

无论从那个角度来说，我的哥哥都是一个好人，一个罕见拥有高尚道德和良心的贵族领主。

但这个世界似乎对好人总有一种莫名的恶意。

他所做的这一切非但没有收获感激，反而被所有人当成了软弱的象征。

不仅周边的其他贵族领主开始虎视眈眈想要吞并和占领这片土地，就连领地内的那些平民也开始不在敬畏服从领主的命令。

甚至有些地方出现暴力抗拒缴纳赋税。

如何，听起来是不是很讽刺？

一个仁慈的领主竟然会落得这样的下场，反倒是残暴的领主能赢得所有人的尊重。

最终在内忧外患之下，一位强大的邻居集结了数千军队向我们发起进攻。

兄长在那场战争中一败涂地，甚至丢掉了自己的性命。

如果不是我站出来力挽狂澜击退敌人，现在整个家族都将不复存在。

从那之后我就开始逐渐从讨厌父亲变成理解他，甚至是成为他。

因为在这个动荡的世界上，想要不成为被别人吃掉的猎物，就必须要亮出獠牙和利爪证明自己是猛兽。

就算不是猛兽也要伪装成猛兽。

不然的话那些真正的猛兽就会扑上来杀死你、吃掉你。”

听到这番话，左思立马笑着摇了摇头回应道：“弱肉强食是丛林法则，也是秩序崩塌后必然会出现的结果。

我认为这根善良或残暴没有太大的关系，而是取决于对法律和秩序的信心。

如果国王能对每一个擅自挑起战争的贵族进行严厉惩罚，剥夺他们的爵位和领地将其贬为平民，我相信没有人敢轻易冒险。

但不幸的是这片大路上没有几个君主能做到这一点。

而长久的战争又加剧了混乱跟无序，让人们更倾向于通过最简单、最直接的暴力来衡量强弱。

您的父亲通过残暴统治来展示暴力让领地的民众保持敬畏，同时威慑周围的其他贵族领主。

但您的兄长并没有清醒的认识到自己所处的恶劣环境。

他的失败的原因并非仁慈，而是愚蠢和无能。”

“愚蠢和无能？

哈哈哈哈！

你总结的很好！ 我的哥哥的确是个既愚蠢又无能的领主。

也许他从一开始就不应该成为家族的继承人，而是当他的好人。

我很高兴你能在这一点上跟我达成一致。

毕竟仁慈善良的家伙可无法在这个残酷黑暗的世界中生存下来。”

李斯特·罗尔德子爵发出开心的大笑，同时眼神中透露出赤裸裸毫不掩饰的欣赏。

毫无疑问，左思的这番发言非常符合他的胃口。

尤其是对死去兄长的评价，正是他一直想要说但又不太方便说出口的。

“你特地把我叫过来该不会就是为了谈论这些吧？”

左思从桌子上拿起一把专门用来拔牙的钳子整个人看上去十分的放松，丝毫没有被地牢里阴森恐怖的气氛影响到。

李斯特·罗尔德子爵摇了摇头：“不，当然不是，我只是想要确认一下你究竟是个什么样的人。

毕竟你一直以来给人的感觉永远都是那么的礼貌、有教养、风度翩翩，好像永远也不会被激怒，脸上始终挂着淡淡的微笑。

但现在我可以确定，你骨子里跟我十分相似，都是那种利益至上的实用主义者。

现在，是时候向你展现这个家族的真面目了。

希望你看见之后不要被吓到才好。”

伴随着最后一个字脱口而出，李斯特·罗尔德子爵的身体开始以肉眼可见的速度膨胀，身上的衣服在短短几秒钟之后就彻底撕裂，皮肤表面也长出大量的浓密毛发，脑袋更是变成了如同狮子一样，眼睛的竖瞳更是在昏暗的环境下释放出令人毛骨悚然的幽光。

但与真正的狮子不同，他的身体保持着站立姿态，下半身更是有数条长满吸盘的出手，末端依稀能看到一根根半透明的管子。

毫无疑问，任何普通人在看到这一幕之后怕不是当场会被吓得晕死过去。

可早已知晓真相的左思却没有出现哪怕一丝一毫的动容，反倒是摆出一副感兴趣的样子上下打量。

“你似乎并不吃惊？或者说你见过其他跟我一样的使徒？”

李斯特·罗尔德子爵那张狰狞恐怖的脸上浮现出一丝异色。

因为这事他第一次在变身后没有从对方脸上看到震惊、恐惧和战栗的反应。

那种淡然与平静反倒是让他隐约感觉到不安。

“不，我以前从未见过像你这样的生物。”

左思非常干脆的给出了否定回答。

“那你为何还能保持冷静？难道就不怕我杀了你或者吃了你吗？”

李斯特·罗尔德子爵猛然间俯下身体张开满是尖牙的血盆大口。

可喜的是他这种恐吓显然没有什么卵用。

左思更是直截了当的回答：“如果你要杀了我或吃了我，压根没有必要浪费时间和精力搞那么盛大的订婚仪式。而且就算要杀也得等到玛娜怀孕之后生下健康的子嗣。”

“不错！ 我现在对你感到越来越满意了。

在这片大路上能在见到使徒还保持冷静、理智的人可不多，大部分都会瞬间精神崩溃转身逃走。

真不愧是来自异邦接受过皇室教育的亲王。”

李斯特·罗尔德子爵语气中透露出一丝欣赏。

“感谢夸奖。

我可不觉得这种时候逃跑有什么意义。

既然你已经亮出了真正的身份，那是不是意味着可以顺便告诉我当初究竟发生了什么呢？”

左思明显想要继续探究对方隐藏在怪物外表下的内心。

因为几乎所有成为使徒的人都大概率会有一个充斥着悲伤、痛苦和绝望的故事。

The struggle of humanity in these stories, and the final endings of being swallowed by evil and darkness, will make him experience extreme pleasure.

"If you really want to know, then come with me."

Viscount Lister Roald quickly returned from the apostle form to the human form, and turned a torch on the wall naked.

Boom boom!

Along with vibrations and noises, a spiral staircase opened on the wall of the dungeon.

The two of them climbed up the stairs one after the other until they passed the bookshelf and entered the room in the tower.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Zuo Si saw an extremely explosive scene.

Mana's mother, Narberal, was shackled and naked on the bed with a belly as big as if she was ten months pregnant. There were more than a dozen cribs around her, all filled with lion monsters that looked very similar to Viscount Lister Roald's apostle.

The only difference is that they don't have wriggling tentacles on their lower bodies.

And the gender of all babies is male without exception.

The oldest one is already nearly one year old in height and weight.

Just as Zuo Si's attention was attracted by these half-apostles, Lady Narberal, who was tied to the bed, suddenly let out a painful scream, and then struggled violently, as if she was enduring some great pain.

Two men in the room who looked older and were dressed as knights immediately stepped forward and forcibly spread her legs apart.

In just less than thirty seconds, a strong little monster crawled out of the mother's body.

The people in charge of the delivery quickly picked up the scissors and cut the umbilical cord as quickly as possible, then bathed the newborn baby and put it in one of the empty cribs.

"No! Don't come over here! Please let me go! I can't take it anymore! Let me die! Let me die!"

Lady Narberal collapsed upon seeing Viscount Lister Roald, and cried out in an extremely weak voice.

It was obvious that all the half-apostles in the room were bred by her.

"So this is why Lady Narberal has been keeping the door closed to visitors recently?"

Zuo Si asked in a tone without a trace of emotion.

Viscount Lister Roald grinned cruelly: "Ah, yes, it is thanks to the magic medicine you provided that she regained her fertility."

"Why must it be her? Can't other women do the same?" Zuo Si continued to ask.

“Unfortunately, no.

Because I have experimented on hundreds of women, and without exception, they all had deformed dead fetuses in their wombs, resulting in two deaths.

Perhaps only the female members of my family can bear offspring for me.

Mana is a good choice.

But I can't take the risk.

If she were to also become a mother, the Roald family's bloodline would be completely cut off.

After all, all of my descendants aged and died very quickly.

In just a few years, they will grow from babies into old people and will no longer be able to reproduce.

I guess this is the price you have to pay to become an apostle."

There was not a trace of sympathy or pity in Viscount Lister Roald's eyes when he looked at his brother's widow. It was not as if he was looking at a person, but a tool.

"So my mission is to give birth to more offspring with Mana to continuously expand the size of the family bloodline so that you can get more and better quality mothers?"

As he said this, a cold and sharp light flashed in Zuo Si's eyes.

Viscount Lister Roald nodded without hesitation: "You guessed right.

Whether it's a boy or a girl, the more the better.

When they grow up, get married and have children, the number of family members can increase exponentially.

By then, I will have an inexhaustible supply of matrices, and through them I will create an unrivaled legion of apostles to sweep across the entire continent and establish an immortal thousand-year empire.

I want you to sleep in the same bed with Mana starting tonight."

"Hahaha! So I'm just a reproductive tool in your eyes?"

Zuo Si let out a laugh that he couldn't tell whether it was self-mockery or mockery of the other party's overestimation of his own abilities.

"What else do you think you are? An ally?

Family members?

No, no, no, I don't need any of that.

Because the army composed of offspring is enough to tear apart any enemy who dares to stand in the way.

Of course, as a reward for your contribution, I can promise to leave you a rich fiefdom in the future empire, or even allow you to serve as my deputy.

It all depends on whether you are willing to cooperate.

Now make your choice!"

As the last word came out of his mouth, Viscount Lister Roald transformed into an apostle again, looking down at Zuo Si from above.

He dared to show his hand at this time, obviously he was sure that the other party would not dare to refuse him.
