Chapter 156: Eileen's End
A new sacrifice was about to begin, and Chris went to the study room that belonged to his wife in the manor, to inform her to go to the basement of the manor house as he did in the past.
Chris came to the study and soon saw his wife Vanessa writing something with a frown on her face and the pain in her eyes could not be ignored.
She has been worried and gloomy recently, as if she is thinking about something very heavy.
"Chris?"
Vanessa raised her head slightly.
Chris walked up slowly, reached out and stroked his wife's hair, staring into Vanessa's beautiful eyes, wanting to know what was bothering her.
"Chris, I know what you want to ask."
Vanessa seemed to have a telepathic connection with Chris and knew each other's innermost thoughts. She showed a bitter smile, and her eyes were full of reluctance, pain, and sadness.
"I just suddenly realized the reason why I have been stuck on the second step and unable to make any further progress."
“It turns out that I have changed without realizing it.”
After she gave birth to twins, she learned more and more about the Fisher family, and Vanessa finally chose to accept the darkest things silently.
Because her husband is the one who kills the most innocent people in the family!
She actually had a feeling about it a long time ago, but she never thought about it carefully and was deceiving herself deep in her heart.
From that moment on, Vanessa had broken her own deepest principles.
As a result, she could no longer make any progress on the path of order.
Recently, Vanessa has been constantly thinking back to the day when Chris was promoted to "Sin Killer" some time ago.
Even she herself was instinctively afraid of the black fire that appeared out of nowhere, and from that time on, she could no longer deceive herself.
The person who once talked about justice has now become a hypocritical liar!
Chris was silent for a long time, and finally hugged Vanessa, who was smiling painfully.
"sorry."
——
Lillian was teasing the monster that looked like a two-headed turtle in the yard.
In the past, she fed the "turtle" beans, but now she has finally figured out that this monster prefers to eat poultry meat, so she changed to feeding it meatballs made from chicken and beans.
"good."
She was playing with the turtle with a smile on her face. After a while, a female servant came over and bowed her head respectfully and said:
"Ms. Lillian, Ms. Irene wants you to come over."
"Okay, I'll be there right away. Thank you for your notice."
Lillian nodded politely, and then followed the servant to the door of Irene's cousin's room amid her smile.
She waited quietly for her cousin Irene to appear, and she was already prepared deep down.
"Lillian, how are you reading what I asked you to write down a few days ago?"
After the servant left, Irene stared at Lillian calmly and seriously. The little girl nodded gently and said sincerely:
"I have memorized the whole hymn, Cousin Irene, and I can sing it to you."
Irene reached out her hand, gently stroked the little girl's hair, and said calmly:
"Very good, Lillian. You will replace me as the new priestess of the family. The future of the Fisher family will be guided in your hands. You must believe in the great Lord of the Lost even more sincerely."
"Yes, I understand, Cousin Irene."
Lillian was very obedient, without any childish mischief or playfulness, and she always smiled and showed respect.
Irene looked at her calmly and could clearly feel that Lillian was too obedient.
Perhaps compared to her brother Darren Fisher, Lillian Fisher, her younger sister, is more hypocritical. Although she is still just a child, she has learned to please adults by always behaving well.
If you are just an ordinary person, you may not notice Lillian's character problems.
But Irene has been dealing with all kinds of children for more than 20 years, and she knows very well what kind of personalities each child has.
Lillian, she is not really pious yet, she just accepts the belief in the Lost Lord.
In a different environment, Lillian might also be a believer of other gods, and essentially did not recognize the greatness of the Lord of the Lost compared to other heretical false gods.
Because she was very aware that everyone in her family expected her to become a priest, and if she could not meet this expectation, everyone around her would be disappointed in her.
Therefore, Lillian tried her best to respond to people's expectations.
Irene couldn't help but think that compared to Darren who was too self-centered, Lillian was too eager to please others. In a sense, the two had completely opposite personalities.
In fact, many people live like this, constantly trying to please others to survive, and she is very clear about this.
However, if Lillian really wants to become a priestess of the Fisher family and lead the entire Dawn Cult, her piety must be more than just this.
Irene thought silently that perhaps another opportunity was needed to truly change this well-behaved child.
She needs to witness a miracle!
However, all this will have to be decided after today's blessing sacrifice. At that time, I will consider whether to let Lillian undergo the transformation.
If the great Lord of the Lost does not grant her the path of divine sacrifice, then Irene will have to give up training her to become a priest and instead consider letting Licia, a "pious person", marry Darren and become the next priest of the Fisher family.
"Everything is left to the judgment of the great Lord of the Lost." She murmured to herself.
Irene nodded gently and said, "Lillian, come with me."
Lillian smiled and nodded, then followed Aunt Irene to the second floor of the basement.
She felt a little uneasy, thinking that she had done nothing wrong, but why couldn't she make her cousin Irene happy?
Lillian is extremely sensitive to the mood changes of other people and animals.
I have fulfilled all of my cousin Irene's requests, so why does she still look a little unhappy?
What exactly am I not doing well enough?
Lillian simply couldn't figure it out and couldn't comprehend it at all, and she felt a little annoyed deep down in her heart.
In the basement, she found that everyone in the family was looking at her, and she also noticed that her brother Darren was looking at her with joy, as if he wanted to congratulate her.
What's going on?
Lillian was a little confused about what was going to happen, but she just felt that something big might happen to her, and then she knelt down like everyone else did in the previous times.
During the sacrifice, she was called forward by her cousin Irene.
"Lillian, come here."
So Lillian could only slowly stand up, walk forward, and kneel down in front of everyone again. On the surface, she still remained quiet and pious, but deep down she became more and more uneasy and afraid.
At the same time, she soon discovered that a little girl she didn't know was coming over and kneeling beside her with an expressionless face. There were gray scales on the little girl's pretty face.
Licia, a little dragon girl from the Dawn Orphanage, is a devout person.
Facing Lillian and Licia, Karl also fell into deep thought.
The path that Licia will take next is definitely the path of divine sacrifice. There is no need to think about it at all. She is a child who has nothing else in her heart.
But what about Lillian?
"I need to think about it carefully."
Carl fell into deep thought.
"Irene's idea is simply not feasible. Even though Licia is a pious person, she cannot replace her. That child is not a member of the Fisher family's bloodline, and is not my dependent. Without the influence of the part of the soul that I tore off, the sacrifice cannot be completed."
"Then the only choice left is Lillian. Chris's child is too young, and Darren's personality makes it impossible for him to become a priest."
People's personalities are often very complex. In fact, many people are suitable for different paths. Even the gentle Byrne has a little bit of compatibility with the path of conquest.
Lillian is suitable for both paths. The path that suits her best is actually the natural path, followed by the path of divine sacrifice.
However, the affinity for the Long Steps to Divinity can actually be changed later, because people's personalities and behaviors tend to change gradually during a long life.
He made the decision to bet on what kind of person Lillian would become in the future.
Grant her the power of the sequence of the path of divine sacrifice.
If she could become a pious person, she would naturally be able to go further on the road of divine sacrifice. Otherwise, she could only take the first two steps and stop there.
Both girls of similar age gained the power of the Divine Sacrifice Road. Lillian looked a little excited and relieved, while Licia remained expressionless and just prayed silently.
Irene understood God’s will in her heart.
The great Him chose Lillian.
In this case, I must find a way to make Lillian more pious, at least I must do this before I leave.
She was not sad about leaving this world, but even felt more and more happy.
Some people in the Fisher family might still worry about what happens after death, but Irene knows very well that her soul will return to God's arms.
Even though Carl had never told her about what happens after death.
After the sacrifice was over, she came outside and gently stroked Lillian's hair. Suddenly, she understood a lot of things.
"I see. I finally understand."
What is my destiny in the last few years?
Irene had always been quite confused and bewildered about this matter.
There is not much time left.
I have a clear conscience towards my family, but for the great Lord of the Lost, I have always done too little, and it is far from enough to repay His kindness as vast as the ocean.
So at the end of life, what can I do to give back to the great Lord of the Lost?
She had been thinking and confused, but at this moment she suddenly seemed to feel God's guidance and shed tears of enlightenment.
"I finally understand, that's what you expected!"
