"I have become a priest, and priests cannot get married." Xiu Qi replied calmly, "Also, after a while, I may leave Yalong and go to the Peak of Light, where the Holy See is located. At that time, Lizzie will be taken care of by you——no, if it’s convenient, you’d better take her away now, lest she even walk carefully avoiding me, for fear that one day I will fulfill my grandmother’s last wish and force her to submit .”

"I'll ask Hill first, but it shouldn't be a problem." Keech nodded in response.

"That noble named Hill is really your friend?" Xiu Qi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Hmm." Kiki didn't dare to say much, and simply responded.

"I don't remember you ever having friends." Xiu Qi said indifferently, "Of course, neither do I. In fact, the same is true for Rocky and Li Qi. It is impossible for the children in our family to make friends."

"No, both Rocky and Lizzy have lots of friends," Keech argued.

"Those are just people who treat him and her as friends, not his and her friends." Xiu Qi said indifferently, "Whether you admit it or not, Ki Qi, we are cold by nature, lack love, don't feel guilty, no sympathy, and that's a Chimera trait—a trait we've all inherited to the fullest, thanks to Grandma's hard work."

"But you said that Rocky is different from us." Keech couldn't help asking.

"His bloodline is not complete. This allows him to easily become a magician, but he can only become a magician." Xiu Qi said lightly, "And we are the real descendants of the gods."

After finishing speaking, Xiu Qi turned around, took out a small silver pot from under the bookshelf at the back, and handed it to Ki Qi.

"This is the ashes of my grandmother. According to another last wish of hers, we need to bury her in Chimera's old house. It is said that it is in the imperial capital Asshai..."

"I've been there." Kitsch reached for the silver pot. "Where is it going to be in the house?"

"Just dig a hole and bury it. Anyway, she didn't specify a specific location." Xiu Qi replied nonchalantly, "If I hadn't met you, I would have left it in the basement of this house."

"Where's Mother's body?" Keech asked.

"Stay in the place where we were born." Xiu Qi lowered his eyelids, "I think she would like it better there."

Keech didn't answer, but agreed with Xiu Qi's point of view in his heart.If the mother had the special blood of Chimera like them, then after going through such a thing, she would definitely not forgive her grandmother, let alone continue to stay with her.

They are merciless, yet vengeful, and will never learn to forgive.

After handing over the silver pot, Xiu Qi seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and his tone was much more relaxed, "I will hand over everything to you about the family, and I will do what I want to do next. If you want this If the family is passed on, then find someone to marry Li Qi and let her give birth to a girl; if you want this family to be cut off, then kill Li Qi."

"Kill Lizzy?" Hearing this sentence, Keech couldn't help but widen his eyes again in surprise.

"Yes." Xiu Qi replied indifferently, "Chimera's bloodline is passed on through women. As for you and me, we are just drones in the hive and soldier ants in the ant's nest."

"But, you said, I can't do anything to my family." Kiki asked hesitantly.

"So when you do it, you have to be quick and don't let her suffer." Xiu Qi said expressionlessly, "Also, what I'm talking about is——if."

In the living room separated by a wall, Hill also listened to the conversation between the two brothers through the Whispering Stone.

When he heard that the Chimera family was passed on through women, Hill couldn't help re-examining Lizzy in front of him. Women take it to heart.

Is she the key to the inheritance of Chimera's power?That is to say, if you get her, you can get the power inheritance of Chimera?

Thinking of this, an idea immediately popped up in Hill's mind.

Maybe he could marry her.

If he married her, Keech would become his brother-in-law, and it wouldn't be strange if they lived together all year round.And she has a face similar to Kiki's, as long as some part of her that he can't bear is covered up, maybe he can try to use her as Kiki to complete the task of reproduction.

As the older sister of the two magicians, few nobles in the Yalong Empire would not accept her as a member.What's more, she still bears the blood of Chimera. As long as she proves this, the family that gets her can even take back the Chimera family's property from the Magic Association and claim the territory from the royal family.

But then, Hill warned himself to calm down and not to act too hastily.

The mistress of the Balotelli family is not just capable of giving birth to children, but also must be educated enough, be good at dealing with people, and manage servants.If it's just to get a child, he doesn't need to marry Lizzy, or even do it himself, he just needs to ensure that the child she gives birth to is under his control.

Of course, before that, he had to seek Keech's approval.

As for Lizzy's wishes, it didn't matter, and, seeing her rosy cheeks and eager eyes, Hill knew that she had fallen for him.

Soon, Xiu Qi and Ki Qi came out of the room.

Hill stood up immediately, and Keech walked to his side habitually.

"You live with that prince?" Xiu Qi asked abruptly.

"Yes." Hill nodded, guessing why Xiu Qi asked in his heart.

"You guys, don't you plan to do something?" Xiu Qi continued to ask, "Will you just watch everyone die of thirst, freezing to death, or starving to death?"

"Kiki and I are here for this." Hill didn't shirk responsibility, but just changed the subject slightly, "You have been giving food in the church, I believe there must be a lot of experience for us to learn from, if you are willing to share with me I would be very grateful for a chat."

"Instead of talking to me, why don't you go and see for yourself." Xiu Qi said, "We have to leave the city at five o'clock in the afternoon. If you are interested, you can go out with us."

"It's a great honor." Of course Hill would not refuse, and then asked again, "I heard from Miss Lizzy that drinking water seems to be lacking, and we may be able to help with this matter now—maybe you don't know yet , your younger brother Kiki is an outstanding water magician."

"Can you provide clean water?" Xiu Qi turned his head to look at Ki Qi, with some doubts in his eyes.

"Well, as long as the number is not too large." Keech nodded.

"Then prepare as much as you can, the more the better." Xiu Qi didn't refuse, "It's best to prepare the containers, the vehicles and the manpower to transport the water together, the church doesn't have enough manpower, otherwise we won't let them Li Qi and the others also came to help."

"Don't worry, you just need to lead us the way." Hill continued.

"The right to control will also be handed over to us, at least this time." Xiu Qi emphasized, "Obviously you will not know who is the one who really needs it."

"As you wish." Hill nodded again, indicating that he had no doubts.

"Then, see you in the evening." Xiu Qi immediately issued an order to evict the guests, "I have to go back to the church. I will meet you at the gate of the church at 4:[-]."

"See you soon." Hill agreed with a smile.

After reaching an agreement, the four returned to Shuori Square, Xiu Qi took Li Qi to the church, Hill and Ki Qi returned to the government affairs hall together, and reported what they had learned from Xiu Qi and Li Qi and the agreement for the evening To Prince Siris.

"It seems that it is inconvenient for me to go there." Sirius smiled helplessly.The relationship between the Yalong Empire and the Holy See is too delicate. As a member of the royal family and the first heir to the throne, it is really inconvenient for him to openly appear on the same occasion as the priests of the Holy See.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we are your eyes and legs." Hill smiled.

"Please be sure to tell me the most truthful situation." Sirius said seriously, "If you need anything, please don't hide it."

"Of course, in fact, I need your support right now." Hill said, "In order to transport drinking water, I need a wooden bucket or other tools that can carry clean water, and about ten knights escorting the water cart—— By the way, Your Highness, have all the knights returned?"

"The news of the recall has been sent out. Except for those who stayed in the city originally, the rest should rush back to Yani City before tomorrow night." Sirius replied.

"Then, according to what we agreed last night, first concentrate on blocking Shuori Square, and then recruit workers in the city to modify the square into an airship that can be used by the Magic Association."

"Knight McPhee has already started working on this matter." Sirius said, "However, if these workers must be fed before starting to work, our food, or the food that can be eaten immediately is not enough , some of them are not suitable for entertaining these coming workers. If I cook them now, it may be difficult to satisfy their appetites with just a few chefs here, and the place to eat is also a problem..."

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much." Hill interrupted, "They don't care where they eat, and they don't care about the taste and quality of the food. I have already tasted the bread provided by the church this morning. If you will never admit it, that thing is simply hard to swallow, and people have to wonder how it can be called food! But it is such an unpalatable thing, but those hungry civilians still regard it as a treasure and eat it with relish , I just feel insufficient."

"It seems that I still don't know much about folk affairs." Sirius smiled helplessly.

"However, you are right. We do need to increase our manpower. We can't rely on the knights to do everything by themselves. They should be freed from these tedious and messy affairs and focus on their own job-guarding." Xi Er's voice changed, "May I ask, since you came here, has there not been a local noble who has expressed his allegiance to you? Even if it is the one who came at night."

"Of course there are, do you need their names?" Sirius asked immediately.

"I just implore you to borrow some people from them, such as cooks and handymen." Hill said meaningfully, "Besides, this matter does not need to alarm too many people, and those people don't need to be very good-hardworking Kindness is all we ask of them."

"I understand what you mean, I'll write to them right away." Sirius nodded knowingly, then immediately turned around and walked behind the writing desk, took out the letter paper and quill pen, and began to write quickly.

Soon, the three letters were ready, Sirius pulled the rattle rope on the desk, and after a while, an adult man who seemed unfamiliar to Hill knocked on the door and entered.

Sirius handed the three letters to the man, and ordered him to immediately arrange for someone to secretly deliver the letter to the recipient, and then introduced to Hill, "Mr. Hill, this is Mr. Xiao En, please forgive me." I can't tell you his last name and full name, but I hope you can remember his face and my trust in him, because he is my chief guard, also known as the 'Dark Walker' in the world."

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Sean." Hill immediately bowed and saluted.The so-called dark walkers are another name for dark guards and spies, implying that they do some shady things in the dark.

"Me too, Mr. Hill Balotelli." Sean bowed back, then bowed to Sirius again, and then left the room expressionlessly.

After Sean left, Sirius called his head chef and asked him about the preparation of lunch and where to find a large water container.

Apparently, Sires brought not only 100 knights on this trip, but also common servants such as coachmen, attendants, cooks, and some miscellaneous people recruited during the tour.It is also thanks to their existence that Sirius can still enjoy the decent life a prince should have at this time.But Hill noticed that, like a real military camp, none of these people was a woman—if you didn't count Adong.

Of course, now is not the time to gossip. After Sirius finished speaking, Hill also took the opportunity to tell the head chef that the meals prepared for the laborers do not need to be delicious, as long as they meet the two standards of cooked and hot.

The head chef obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said that if there were only these two standards, a little more portion would be enough, not implicitly implying that he could embezzle part of the food eaten by the war horses, anyway, many civilians are usually Lian Zhanma Food standards are not up to standard.

Sirius hesitated for a moment, while Hill patted the head chef on the shoulder, smiling and letting him go.

The head chef who was encouraged immediately gave another suggestion, asking them to find the water truck used for fire fighting in the city.

"There must be such a car in a big city like Yani. It is probably called a fire truck. It looks like a large water tank with four wheels on it. There is a pipe like the spout of a watering can. You can send someone to look for it. It should be placed in a house near the government affairs hall." The head chef gestured and said, "If it doesn't work, just find a few bathtubs for bathing and put them on that kind of four-wheeled flatbed cart, they can still be used."

"Thank you very much." Sirius thanked sincerely.
