"Damn it... I rarely wanted to take care of these commoners, but they didn't appreciate it at all. Humph, I won't do that again next time. Let whoever wants to take care of them do it."
"Alright, alright, Aunt Diana, thank you for coming over and helping me out of this situation. I still lack experience in this area."
Lia tugged at Dinah's arm, pouring her a glass of water with a smile, trying to comfort the sulking blonde beauty.
"If Aunt Diana has time later, could you teach Leah how to manage the mansion? Leah wants to become like Aunt Diana, so confident and at ease."
"Hmph... Let's talk about it when we get back. You have a lot to learn, little girl. Whether I teach you or not depends on my darling's decision. If he agrees... it might not be a bad idea to impart some experience to you."
"Really? As long as my brother agrees? Hehe, then it's a deal, Aunt Diana!"
And so, as the two continued their discussion, a final note came from inside the room.
"call……"
The door slowly opened, and Mary, tidying her clothes, skipped out of the room with a rosy cheek and a smile, occasionally licking the glistening drops on her lips, looking full of energy and cuteness.
Behind her, her mother also maintained a gratified smile, her two slender hands clasped around her lower abdomen, as if savoring some of the burning sensation. She stretched her body comfortably, the stiffness and fatigue that had been there vanished, and she seemed to have become several years younger. Standing next to her daughter, she even had a youthful, sisterly feel to her.
"Mary and the others are out!"
"Mary, Mary! How are you feeling? Have you and your mother recovered?"
As soon as they stepped out of the room, the crowd surrounded the mother and daughter, vying to question them. The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, their faces still flushed, and smiled knowingly before addressing the crowd:
"Please rest assured, everyone. Young Master Lius just treated us all. After his treatment, Mary and I have fully recovered. The young master will continue to treat everyone. Please line up and enter the room one by one."
“We’re going in one by one… So, young master Lius needs to treat each of us individually? It sounds exhausting. And what kind of treatment will it be? Will it hurt a lot?” a girl next to me asked.
"Ha... Don't worry about that. It might hurt a little at first, but you'll soon feel an energy flowing into your body, a warmth emanating from within, driving away all the pain and discomfort," the young woman said with a smile. She then looked at her daughter beside her. "Mary, you must have felt quite comfortable when you were 'treated' with Young Master Lius just now, right?"
“Yes! Mom, hehe, this is Mary’s first time experiencing all this… and with Mom! Brother Lius is really amazing, both Mary and Mom have received a lot of care from him…”
Mary and her mother looked at each other, smiled and licked their lips in unison, seemingly savoring the moment. As they talked, the surrounding crowd could no longer contain themselves and began to scramble towards the inner room.
"I'll be next!"
"Let us go first! My illness is more serious! I need treatment immediately!"
"We'll decide by drawing lots, so let's not cause any more trouble for young master Lius! Quickly line up and stop scrambling!"
And so, the young women and girls privately decided on the order in which they would be treated, and followed instructions to go into the inner room one by one to receive the "healing" from Lius.
The darkness of night deepened, and the moonlight hid behind the clouds, concealing the intimacy within the house. Even the continuous moans emanating from inside seemed to linger longer...
Chapter 111 The Big Party (Part 3)
"Brand Oakville".
"It's my turn!"
After her name was called, a blonde woman entered the house. Half an hour later, she came out with a flushed smile. Her dry complexion regained its fullness, and she sat down beside the house, embracing her ample breasts and reminiscing quietly.
"Karenna Berg, are you there?"
"Is it my turn...?"
A gray-haired loli swallowed slightly and walked into the house with a bit of nervousness. Half an hour later, she came out of the house with a blush on her face. She was also very well nourished. They seemed to understand each other without saying a word, but her cheeks still had a lively smile full of youthful excitement.
"hey-hey……"
After exchanging glances with the others she had treated earlier, the gray-haired girl approached them with light, quick steps. With great excitement, she privately discussed her experiences with them.
This scene made the other young women even more curious. What kind of treatment had they undergone in the inner room that made them so absorbed?
"Audrey, Ellu, Vivi, the three of you come in together. We need to speed things up."
"Huh? The three of us will be treated together? Okay, coming right now!"
As the night progressed, seemingly to increase the speed, more and more people entered the room at once.
Sometimes they are close friends, sometimes they are sisters who look alike, and sometimes they are a loving mother and daughter. These people enter the inner room with a curious and nervous attitude, and when they come out, they all have smiles on their faces and meaningful expressions. They discuss things privately with each other, and from time to time they touch their own bodies, as if feeling the lingering afterglow.
"Heh, just now Young Master Lius did this to me... and to my sister..."
"It's a little embarrassing to say, but I haven't experienced this feeling for several years, since my husband passed away... I never expected to have this happen suddenly, especially with my daughter. As an old woman, I'm really a little shy..."
"Speaking of which, the young master said before that if we didn't have a place to stay, he would find us a house in the city, and we could also work at the manor to earn money. In that case... would there be a chance for the young master to 'treat' us like this every day... I'm really looking forward to it..."
And so, amidst the ambiguous yet meaningful words exchanged by the crowd, the number of patients dwindled one by one.
As the last girl who had finished her treatment walked out of the house, she smiled and waved to her companions.
"Hehe, my illness is cured too, I should be the last one."
"Is that all? Haha, since that's the case, then we don't need to continue discussing it privately."
The young women nodded to each other in tacit agreement, then opened their mouths wide and excitedly showed off to their companions the pampering they had received.
"Young Master Lius held me for a long time just now, keeping me warm with his body, and he loved kissing my lips. I can still taste his flavor on my lips... It was so delicious..."
"Hmph, what's the use of just kissing? The most important thing is still those 'potions' the young master gave us. I bet I drank the most potions ever, and my stomach is still very bloated. This swelling is almost like being pregnant..."
A beautiful young woman stroked her swollen belly and spoke boastfully, followed by a new shout from the side.
"No matter what you say, young master Lius gave me his all. He explored every part of my body, every single spot. Ah... even now I can still feel that warmth. It was so wonderful..."
Amidst a distinctly pleasant aroma, the young women and girls, with their alluring eyes and swaying figures, engaged in lively discussions.
As they discussed this, Lius ended the "party," slowly walked out from the inner room, clutching his lower back, wiping the sweat from his brow and letting out a breath.
"Finally... it's over. I feel completely drained..."
"Young Master Lius!"
Upon seeing Lius emerge, the beauties immediately surrounded him, vying to embrace the handsome young man. Their delicate hands roamed over Lius's body, massaging and kneading him incessantly, expressing their affections in their own way.
"Ha... everyone, no need to be in such a hurry. We'll have plenty of time to get to know each other later. You've just finished your treatment and your bodies haven't fully recovered yet, so you should go and rest." Wiping his sweat, Leus greeted everyone with a few words.
"Wow... At times like this, his first thought is to care about us. Young Master Lius is so considerate of us commoners. We are so grateful to you, young master. Not only did you cure our illnesses, but you also made us feel so comfortable... We can never repay this kindness in our lifetime."
The beauties crowded around, exchanging grateful glances at Lius, who continued to wave to them.
"It's not that exaggerated. Alright, alright, you guys go and get some rest. It's almost dawn. We're moving to the city tomorrow, and the journey will take a long time. Go back to the village and pack up. See if there are any leftover items. Once you've packed everything up, we'll set off."
"Yes! Understood, Young Master Lius, we'll get on with it right away!"
Looking at the smiles on the women's faces, Lius smiled helplessly, dismissed the group who were eyeing him like predators, and left alone in the room, letting out a deep breath.
"Phew... It's finally over. I'm exhausted. Even with unlimited stamina, dealing with so many girls is still exhausting..."
Lius originally wanted to go find Lia and Diana, but looking to the side of the room... they were already asleep, lying quietly on two makeshift beds, and it was really not appropriate to disturb them.
Looking further at Miss Wuming, one could see that she was also standing silently in the darkness, seemingly in a state of hibernation. All three beauties had begun to rest, creating a quiet atmosphere in the room.
“I should rest now… but no, the underground library might still hold some clues. I need to use this time to investigate it as soon as possible, or maybe it would be a good idea to transport all these books back to the mansion later and search for them slowly then…”
Muttering to himself, Lius shook his head, trying to clear his head. He then quietly walked outside and came to the cliff shrouded in moonlight. He gazed at the land covered in ruins in the distance and pondered for a moment.
"..."
Just then, Lius noticed a new visitor beside him. He turned around and found that it was the village chief's wife from before.
"Hmm? Village Chief, aren't you resting yet?" Lius asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, with such a big event, how could I possibly rest so soon? Young Master Lius, you must feel the same way, otherwise why would you be meeting with me now?"
The old man smiled kindly and continued to look at Lius, as if he had something he wanted to reveal.
"Thank you very much, Young Master Lius, for your help. We were able to overcome this difficulty thanks to you. Please accept my gratitude."
"It's nothing, just helping out casually. Village chief, you should go and rest too. I'll send a carriage over tomorrow to take you all to the city for accommodation."
"Ha, I do want to rest, but before I do, there is a secret I must tell Prince Lius."
"Hmm? A secret?"
Lius blinked, and the old man also showed a serious expression, gazing at the moonlight in the sky, and slowly explained:
"Yes, it's a secret that has been hidden for a long time. I didn't originally intend to tell anyone about it, but considering the recent strange occurrences, it seems that I can no longer keep it a secret."
Having said this, the old man took a deep breath, seemingly having made up his mind, and finally spoke to Lius:
"...I was once a member of that black-robed cult, and also the guardian of the monsters here."
Chapter 112 Epilogue (Part 1)
"Hmm? Village Chief, you... are one of those men in black robes?"
Hearing the old man's words, Lius blinked in surprise, while the village chief nodded silently, a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
“That is indeed the case, but Young Master Lius, you need not be nervous. That was a long time ago, so long that I can hardly remember it. Now I have long since left the Order and am just an ordinary old woman in this village. Even my own magic was completely abolished when I left the Order, so there is no need to worry that I will pose any threat.”
The old man stretched out his arm, said a few words with a self-deprecating tone, and then poured a bottle of medicine onto the back of his hand.
The moment the potion touched the skin, it emitted a faint red glow, and the next moment, it revealed runes with the same markings as those on the other villagers.
Unlike the villagers who were afflicted with the disease, the runes on the back of the old man's hand did not possess any magical activity; they were merely decorations. The delicate lines intertwined like rattlesnakes, winding and twisting into a circular shape, with the six-pointed star in the center crisscrossing, showcasing the profound mystery of this formation.
"Does every member of the Order have such a mark?" Leus asked, frowning as he stared at the runes on the back of his hand.
“That’s right, but it doesn’t usually show up. It can only appear through a special potion. This symbol also symbolizes our order’s long-standing goal—to bring the Goddess back to the world.”
"What kind of being is this goddess you speak of? Is she different from the deities worshipped in churches?" Lius continued to ask.
"I inquired about this with the church before, and the answer I received was that the goddess is not the kind of mortal being worshipped in a church for ordinary people."
"Not a deity worshipped in the church?"
"Yes, the goddess we worship is not the same as the 'gods' worshipped in the secular church. She is a higher being that surrounds us and is above humankind. With our current knowledge, we cannot even begin to touch upon the goddess."
As the old man spoke, a sense of nostalgia seemed to appear on his face. After a few sighs, he continued to look at Lius.
"In short, I do not know the specifics of the Goddess, but with her guidance, we are able to move forward. Everything that has happened in this secular branch church is, in a sense, a path bestowed by the Goddess. She is different from secular gods; one could even say... she is on a higher level than secular gods..."
"..."
Listening to the old man's somewhat oblivious sentiments, Lius was stunned for a moment. He looked at the system girl on his shoulder and saw that she also looked surprised, as if she was also quite surprised.
After hesitating for a moment, Leus straightened his expression and continued to ask the old man:
"So, the church in this village wasn't built by the Black Robe Order; it's just a branch ruin left behind by a secular church. As for the monster girl underground and the order's internal plans..."
"These are all just coincidences. It just so happens that the core of the formation is located here. There is no connection between the cult and the secular church. They just dress similarly and can shift some attention-grabbing things onto the secular church to make the cult's whereabouts less noticeable."
As the old man spoke, Leus frowned and pondered for a while, finally managing to understand what was happening. He nodded slightly to the old man.
"Um... even so, I still don't understand, but I can grasp the general idea. The monsters under the church and the magic circle's core are just coincidences. But village chief, why are you suddenly telling me all this? Do you know the identities of the other members?"
"That's not the case. Although we are in the same cult, we don't know each other's identities. We only know that these cult members come from different social classes and have different identities. Some of them are even high-ranking officials in this kingdom, but we don't know much about them and therefore can't help you in this regard."
The old man shook his head slightly, then took out a long strip of cloth wrapped around his side and slowly peeled off the cloth.
Inside, they found only a rough-looking willow branch, about the length of an arm. It wasn't very long, but for some reason, Lius felt a strange comfort in handling it.
"this is……"
"The blessed wand was originally a unique treasure of the secular church branch here. When the church withdrew, my ancestor left this wand behind, secretly replacing the core so that the core of the wand remained here, and it has been kept by me ever since."
"The church branch's staff? Wasn't it said to have been taken away and retrieved? So it's still kept here...?"
Gazing at the twisted willow branch before him, Leus reached out and grasped it in his hand, examining it closely.
From its appearance, this branch is nothing special. The bark on its surface is pitted and rough to the touch, showing no signs of processing. Even if it were casually thrown on the ground, it would be ignored as just another ordinary branch. It doesn't look like it has been blessed by a goddess at all.
"Is...really?"
After waving his hand slightly in the air, Leus asked the question, glancing back at the System Girl, who then gave him an affirmative answer:
“That’s right, this really is one of the wands I blessed back then. Although its appearance is completely different now, it does retain my magic.” The system said seriously, then patted Lius on the shoulder. “Host, you can keep it. If there’s an opportunity later, I can reinfuse the magic inside it to unleash even greater power.”
Under the system's guidance, Lius no longer had any doubts and put the wand back at his waist. The old man nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you for believing my words, Young Master Lius. Someone entrusted me with the safekeeping of this staff, and now it is most appropriate to hand it over to you, Young Master Lius."
"I entrust this to you for safekeeping..."
"Yes, it's the last nun who guarded this place, who was also the first village chief. Before she died, she entrusted this treasure to me, and now it has finally found a suitable place to go."
As he spoke, the old man's face lit up with a look of reminiscence as he gazed at the destroyed village in the distance.
