Especially Tang Erda, who is so skilled in taking care of two two-year-old children.
"There are new fathers around me who are anxiously looking up parenting experiences every day. I also read some of them." Tang Erda paused for a moment, "I roughly know how to raise a child."
Mu Sicheng's kid was finally tired of making trouble, and he curled up beside Mu Sicheng, holding onto the corner of his clothes and fell asleep. He let out a sigh of relief - normally he would have gotten angry if he met such a naughty kid.
But now...
Mu Sicheng looked at the burns on the little brat's arms and remembered the little boy in the court crying hysterically and cursing the bishop, saying, "If you have the guts to burn my mother to death, then you can burn me to death." He clicked his tongue again and took off his coat to cover him.
Still has some backbone.
"What should we do next?" Mu Sicheng was overwhelmed when he thought about the new children coming every day. "I can't take care of any of them. What should I do next?"
"Let the other people who have taken them in take them. Some of them are relatives of these children." Bai Liu said calmly, "We only need to leave one person here to guard the place. The rest of us will have to go out and patrol. The court has new cases to try every day."
Mu Sicheng yelled angrily, "There's a trial tomorrow?! Can this courtroom be burned down?"
"Of course we have to burn it." Bai Liu said calmly, "The witch district should be preparing for a big battle. We just need to wait for their support."
"Come to think of it..." Mu Ke frowned, "It's a bit strange. After we logged into the dungeon, there was already such a big commotion, why didn't the King's Guild come to find us? We haven't heard any news about them at all?"
"What are they doing?"
"The team we landed on was the witches. They should have landed at our enemy, the Vatican." Bai Liu thought thoughtfully. "That's exactly what I heard. The location where the Queen of Hearts landed was on the Sky Island, which is also the core location of the Vatican."
"As for why there is no movement yet..."
Bai Liu narrowed his eyes slightly: "I think it's not that there is no movement, but we just don't know what it is yet."
Mu Ke paused: "What do you mean?"
"According to the information we have received so far, two people were tried in the Witch's Heart trial. One was Jeon Bora, and the other was her child, the so-called Son of the Saint." Bai Liu said calmly, "One of these two characters is now a leader in the other camp, and the other is the leader on our side, one on each side."
"If this is a fair game design, then the two people from the two camps are very likely to have the so-called [Witch's Heart]. As people from the witch camp, what we should do is to snatch the opponent's [Witch's Heart] and put it on the tower."
"The opponent's [Witch's Heart]?" Mu Sicheng leaned over in confusion. "According to what you said, doesn't someone in our camp have the [Witch's Heart]? Can't we just send our [Witch's Heart] to the tower?"
Bai Liu glanced at Mu Sicheng indifferently and said, "From the perspective of the main mission, your idea is also feasible."
"But the premise is that we who have taken Jeon Bora's [Witch Heart] will not be killed by the rioting witches before we reach the sky castle."
"Wait..." Mu Sicheng reacted slowly. He asked in shock, "Isn't this [Witch's Heart] a magical tool or a prop? It can't really be the heart of a witch?!"
"Maybe it's worse than that." Bai Liu slowly raised the receiver, on which was a message Liu Jiayi had just sent. He raised his eyes and whispered, "The Witch's Heart is the heart condensed from the soul of a dead witch."
Meanwhile, the Papal Palace.
It was late at night and the place was quiet.
In the empty convent, the bishop looked at Phoebe, who was sitting opposite him, with a sad and covetous expression, and in his heart he admired the beautiful and graceful girl, who had grown up to an age where he could enjoy her.
"You're going to be sixteen this year, right?" The bishop took Phoebe's hand, covered it with his like an elder, and patted it gently twice. "Have you thought about your future as an adult?"
Phoebe calmly withdrew her hand and looked at the bishop in a prayerful manner: "Didn't you come here to tell me about the assassination of the Pope?"
"These two things are related." The bishop pretended to be serious, withdrew his hand, clenched his fist and coughed, "Phoebe, you are the best nun of this generation in our Papal Palace. Caring about your future is as important as caring about whether the Pope is assassinated."
"Really?" Phoebe didn't comment. She smiled. "It seems that nothing serious has happened to the Pope."
The bishop held the cross on his chest with a compassionate look and said: "The Pope has God's blessing. Even if he is attacked by many evil people, God will protect him from any harm because of his merits."
“But that’s not the case with others.”
The bishop sighed: "The Pope and the accompanying bishops were attacked by a permanent resident on the Sky Island, but soon, with the blessing of God, after a brief fright, they controlled the permanent resident who suddenly attacked them and prepared to imprison him."
"There were no casualties at first, but something went wrong while interrogating the occupant."
"But the permanent resident, who grew up on such a pure sky island and had never come into contact with eels, actually used witchcraft!"
The bishop frowned worriedly. "Whenever he looked into someone's eyes, he would become the person that person feared the most and wanted to see the most. Everyone was bewitched by his witchcraft. Whenever he succeeded in bewitching someone, he would cruelly order that person to hurt himself in the most vicious and painful way."
"Twenty-one cardinals died under his witchcraft."
Phoebe's eyes narrowed slightly - this was Hearts' personal skill, and the person who assassinated the Pope was indeed Hearts.
But this guy rarely uses his personal skills against NPCs and players on a daily basis. After all, he is lazy, prudent, and picky when doing things. He likes to order people around. If he can lie down and hide under a shield or use basic attacks to slowly torture the opponent to death, he will definitely not use his ultimate skill to kill the opponent quickly. It can be said that he has a lot of strange habits and problems.
The Heart's Poker card's basic attack was enough to kill these Church NPCs in this instance, so why did the first attack fail and the second attack with the ultimate skill caused damage?
——And... only twenty-one bishops died?
According to Red Heart's usual style, if things had reached the point where he was willing to use his ultimate skills unlimitedly, everyone on the island would have been slaughtered by now.
"And then?" Phoebe asked quietly. "What happened after he killed twenty-one cardinals?"
"He used the same witchcraft to bewitch the Pope!" The bishop shook his head in grief. "The Pope was trampled under his feet and laughed at. This man played with the Pope like a bug. He made the bewitched Pope kneel on the ground and bark like a dog, and made the Pope lick the blood of other dead people on the ground. The Pope was bewitched by him and did as he was told without any resistance."
"Finally, he ordered the Pope to swallow the decorative sword in the room and kill himself. Just as the Pope was about to be bewitched and killed by him, he suddenly stopped his order."
Phoebe raised her eyebrows slightly: "Stop? Why?"
She had never seen Heart stop halfway when using a big skill, and it was a scene that was so exciting to watch. To be honest, in this situation, Phoebe would think that they only needed to wait to win, because Heart would come down from the Sky Island and walk to them on the blood-stained ladder.
The bishop paused and said, "The Pope said that God was protecting him, so the moment before the witch was about to kill him, God controlled the evil witch."
"But actually..." the bishop paused, "We don't know why he stopped suddenly."
"We only know that he looked up at the mirror across the room, and then he stopped moving completely, allowing us to tie him up and take him to the prison in Sky City. From beginning to end, it was as if the demon who had killed people without restraint did not exist. It was as if his soul had been sucked out, and he became a puppet, no longer resisting."
Phoebe finally showed a surprised expression: "You stopped resisting when you saw the mirror?"
This is really a rare thing. Hearts is not the type who will soften his heart and put down his weapons when facing his enemies. On the contrary, he is extremely vengeful and remembers both grudges and favors. He has a clear distinction between love and hate and cannot tolerate the existence of a third emotion in between. Phoebe only knows two people who can make him put down his poker cards in extreme hatred -
——One is his mother, who has been dead for ten years.
——One is the strange guest who landed on the Sky Island that year. This person should be dying soon.
In other words, if the Queen of Hearts is not a player but a monster, then if you can survive and explore the "Weakness" option on the monster book named "Queen of Hearts", you will see the names of his mother and the guest clearly written on the "Weakness".
It's not realistic for that person or Hongtao's mother to appear in this copy.
"Yes, he stopped resisting after seeing the mirror." The bishop nodded. "So when the Pope came down from the Sky City, he also brought down the mirror that protected him."
"The reason I came to you at this time is because the Pope was frightened. He may have been corroded by some evil witchcraft and needs to be purified. He is now resting in the palace and is very weak. You are our best nun, so I would like to ask you to purify some of the remaining witchcraft for the Pope."
"Besides," the bishop's face finally became serious, "the witches' power is everywhere, and they have even infiltrated the Sky City. Our counterattack against the witches is imminent. As a nun, you are our main force in purifying the witches. The Pope may have come to you this time to discuss the attack on the witches."
