I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

After accompanying Doyle on this occasion, Manjushage and Luo Shiqi were both tired, especially Luo Shiqi. He used to be a good boy who went to bed early and got up early every day, so how could he resist the invasion of sleepiness?

He didn't feel sleepy when playing hide-and-seek, but now that he was quiet, he almost collapsed on the ground, sleeping like a dead pig. No matter how we called him, he wouldn't wake up. It took Manjusaka and Doyle to carry him back to bed.

After everyone left, the night returned to silence.

Marianne suddenly felt very lonely and murmured to herself, "I am alone again this time."

The girl's frail figure kept changing. In an instant, it seemed as if her body was covered with pus and blood, but in the next moment, it disappeared.

The next day, Olivia moved in with all her luggage. Manjushage called the maids to help, and they quickly finished moving everything.

After decorating the room, Manjushage personally took her to familiarize herself with the environment inside the castle.

Although Olivia had visited this place before, every time she gazed at the castle, she could not help but be shocked by its luxury.

Dazzling crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, like falling stars.

The walls are covered with breathtaking masterpieces by famous artists. Crystals and rare vases that are hard to find in normal days are just ordinary decorations here.

Looking back, Olivia had seen portraits of palace interiors in books. The palaces in the paintings were magnificent and beautiful, which made her envious.

She had never expected that one day she would be able to live in such a magnificent mansion. What she saw seemed like a dream, and she was intoxicated by it.

No wonder people say that the people in Xingchenhua's family are very Buddhist. If Olivia could live in such a place, she probably wouldn't even want to move.

Many times, she was so fascinated by the exquisite decorations that she couldn't walk.

No wonder the elders in the family always nag me to be reserved and not appear to be unsophisticated. Now that I think about it, my previous experience is nothing compared to the wealth of the Xingchenhua family.

After walking around the castle, Olivia followed Lycoris radiata to the backyard.

After Luo Shiqi had almost finished practicing magic, Doyle put away all the equipment in the training ground, and Manjushage also lifted the ban, so this place became a space where people could enter and exit freely again.

Olivia's mouth has never closed since she came in.

She thought that what she had seen last time she visited was outrageous enough, but she didn't expect that what she saw was only a small part of it.

The backyard of Xingchenhua's house is not a yard at all, it is a huge plain! It is easy to fit several noble houses.

But in this yard which is as big as the back mountain, there is only a lonely giant tree and a lake.

"That's the Reina tree," Lycoris radiata said to her.

The tree was red all over, from the leaves to the branches to the trunk, everything was bright red, as if it were some rare treasure.

The trunk of the tree is extremely thick, as thick as the arms of a dozen adults wrapped together. It looks very majestic from a distance, but when you get closer, you will find that this giant tree is towering into the clouds and is extremely spectacular.

"The Renas Tree." Olivia whispered the name softly, wondering, "Why should this tree be named after a person?"

Manjushage said calmly, "This tree has been here for 20 years. I heard it belonged to my mother. I guess she wanted to commemorate an old friend."

Olivia was slightly stunned, and unconsciously lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Mrs. Kikyo died a long time ago. Has this tree been taken care of by someone else?"

During the last conversation, Manjushage did not seem surprised when she heard that Olivia was going to collect evidence of the Peters family's crimes, probably because she had known about it for a long time.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the cooperation, Olivia also did some investigation on the Xingchenhua family. Only then did she learn that Mrs. Platycodon Xingchenhua had died twenty years ago.

"Of course it's me," said Lycoris radiata. "This tree was originally green, and it used to produce beautiful flowers. After my mother passed away, I have been the one taking care of it. But my magic seems to have turned the tree red invisibly."

"So that's how it is." Olivia seemed very surprised. She didn't expect that Lycoris radiata would reveal the secret of magic so directly. It was a complete expression of trust in her.

Thinking of this, Olivia made up her mind to show some sincerity, so she took out the pendant hanging around her neck: "It seems that the Reinas tree means a lot to Miss Manjushage, just like this amulet of mine."

She has been able to live in the Peters family until now thanks to the pendant left by her parents.

A guardian magic weapon bound to the soul will be automatically destroyed if an accident occurs, unless the holder actively gives it away.

The aunt has kept Olivia at home and bullied her for so long. She has thought about violating the contract and getting rid of her. At most, she will just be seriously injured. If Olivia is allowed to grow up like this, sooner or later she will know the truth and decide to take revenge.

But isn't the purpose of keeping her here to get the only magic weapon of the Peters family?

Over the years, the family has been declining, and everyone in the family is very disgusted with my aunt, the female ruler. If it weren't for the fact that Olivia, whom she took in, possessed the magic weapon passed down from generation to generation in the Peters family, my aunt would probably have found it difficult to convince everyone.

She originally thought that even if she provided Olivia with good food and drink every day, she could still be betrayed someday. In that case, it would be better to let her suffer. When the time came, Olivia's consciousness would collapse, and she would naturally hand over the magic weapon.

It was precisely because of this thing that Olivia was able to gain the support of her grandfather. Even in the eyes of most people in the Peters family, the holder of the magic weapon was the only leader of the family.

It can be said that this pendant is indeed the luckiest amulet and the best gift left to Olivia by her parents.

Just like the Lenas tree has a special meaning to Lycoris radiata.

"Speaking of which, Miss Manjusaka, is it true that Mrs. Kikyo left behind seven sacred artifacts?" Olivia put away the pendant and asked in disbelief.

An ordinary magic weapon can make people fight to the point of bloodshed. If a divine weapon is born, the world will probably be in chaos and blood will flow like a river, right? Seven divine weapons are said to make people immortal and invincible. She believes them. Why did Mrs. Kikyo die so early?

"Yes, but most of them are gone. It should be difficult to find them back." Manjushage vaguely remembered that those artifacts seemed to be sent out by her mother personally. She was present on several occasions, but her memory was vague and she couldn't remember it at all.

Otherwise, why would she still be taking care of the baby? She would have set out to look for treasure long ago.

Olivia nodded, seeming to understand something.

The news that the Xingchenhua family has so many magical artifacts cannot be concealed, but since they are not in their hands, even if others come to ask for them, they can't give anything at all.

In order to avoid disputes, I simply stayed at home and had no contact with outsiders. After ten or twenty years, everyone would have almost forgotten about it anyway.

No wonder Manjushage wanted to reappear in public after staying at home for so many years. It turns out it was because of this.

However, Manjushage herself certainly didn't think too much about it. She was busy enough taking care of the children all day long, so she didn't have time to think about these things.

Seeing that Olivia was absorbed in her thoughts and seemed to be imagining some incredible setting, she quickly changed the subject: "By the way, you just ran over here like this, aren't you afraid of what your family will say?"

Olivia chuckled: "At first I was afraid that the elders in the family would not agree, but when they heard that I wanted to live in your house, they hurriedly urged me to leave. I couldn't stay for another day. I guess they wanted me to win you over."

Manjushage couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

She is really worthy of being the heroine. So many people believe what she says casually, and no one doubts her.

Although Olivia was successfully abducted, she was after all related to the tragic ending of Lycoris Radiata.

So in order to avoid accidents, Manjushage deliberately arranged Olivia's room far away from her own, under the pretext of providing her with enough private space.

After all, there are so many rooms in the castle, it would be a waste if they were not used!
