Holding her daggers, Katie was tempted to stab Liang Lidong in the back, but she still had some self-control. She knew that if she killed this man, her mother probably wouldn't survive either.
She could only watch Liang Lidong's hand and the fruit knife reach into her mother's stomach and stir the internal organs.
She trembled in fear, fearing that the guy would accidentally hurt her mother.
Although Liang Lidong had cut a big slit in the old woman's abdomen, no blood flowed out because of the hemostasis. Liang Lidong's left hand had been inside the old man's abdomen, but his hands were covered with a magic membrane made of mental power. It was very clean and separated the two sides from contact, so there was no need to worry that the bacteria on his body would spread to the old man's abdomen and cause an infection.
Katie had killed many people, but for the first time, she found that she was scared of the color of blood, especially the smell of her family.
Very soon, Liang Lidong found the location of the Life Curse. He held the knife in his hand and sent it in along the edge of the internal organs.
"Six demonic patterns. Fortunately, it's not too difficult."
Liang Lidong muttered to himself. At this time, he even began to close his eyes. Because the Life Curse was in a blind spot that he couldn't see, his eyes were useless at this moment. However, a spellcaster could replace mental power with mental power. The more powerful the mental power, the better the effect.
As a Master Spellcaster, Liang Lidong naturally had a lot of mental power. His hands moved slightly, as if he were cutting something carefully.
Katie watched from the side as Liang Lidong's hands moved around in her mother's stomach with his eyes closed. Most importantly, the fruit knife was also inserted into her stomach.
She was covered in sweat, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she finally saw Liang Lidong withdraw his hands from her mother's stomach, and what he brought out was a ball that was covered in flesh and blood.
Liang Lidong put the ball in Katie's hand. "This is the real culprit of the Life Curse, but it has another name. You must know it. "
"What is it?"
"Magic Essence."
Kati's eyes widened in shock. Mana Essence was an extremely precious magic material. With some slight processing, it could even be turned into magic equipment.
Liang Lidong ignored the shocked Katie. He used a healing spell to stitch up the old woman's abdomen and then cast a Greater Stamina on him. After that, he let out a long sigh and sat on a chair to rest.
Although the treatment didn't last long. However, such an operation required a high degree of concentration, and it was not an easy task. Moreover, Liang Lidong was not a professional doctor, so it was normal for him to feel pressure during the operation.
After a while, Katie finally woke up from her shock. She walked up to the old woman and looked at his peaceful face. She knew that this was the curse of life that had been tormenting her mother. It finally disappeared.
She was overjoyed. She could finally put down her worries. She stood, wiping her eyes, crying and laughing. After a while, she said to Liang Lidong embarrassedly, "I'm sorry. I made a fool of myself."
Anyone would feel the same way when their loved ones were healed. Liang Lidong naturally understood that. He nodded and said, "Okay. Now that I've fulfilled my promise, it's your turn. "
Katie said without hesitation, "Rest assured, Lord Beta. I know what to do. After I settle down my mother, I'll send someone to take care of her. After I settle my mother down, I'll join the Woking Temple immediately without hesitation. "
Liang Lidong thought for a moment and said, "You're the eldest prince's man after all. If you leave the eldest prince's force, he'll definitely come looking for you. You're an Assassin. I'm not afraid that he'll find you, but your mother … Just like I can find your mother, I think he can too. "
Katie frowned. Her mother was the most important thing to her. She had to admit that he made a lot of sense.
"But I do have a good place to settle your mother." Liang Lidong said slowly, "Reed Village, a small border village, but it's safe. It's within the sphere of influence of the Woking Temple."
Katie's eyes lit up. "It would be great if you could get a piece of land for my mother as well."
"That's not a problem." Liang Lidong smiled. "There happens to be a shortage of farming hands there. But before I go there, I need to say hello to my companions first. "
"That's no problem." Katie nodded.
The two of them came out of Mystra's Mansion and walked in the direction of the hotel. The old woman, on the other hand, continued to sleep in Mystra's Mansion. The hypnosis that Liang Lidong cast on her would take a long time to wear off.
The two of them soon returned to the hotel. Emma was waiting in the living room. She didn't look right to begin with, and when she saw Liang Lidong return with a beautiful woman, her expression became even more unsightly. And she also found that the woman that Beta brought back was not only beautiful but also had a big chest. Although not as exaggerated as Sophia, the mayor's wife, she was still above the average person.
Damn big chest con. Emma was so angry that she wanted to bite Beta hard.
Although she was furious, Emma put on a happy smile. "Beta, you're back. Who is this beautiful lady, won't you introduce her to me?"
Although Emma's expression was normal, Liang Lidong could still see that she seemed a little angry. And Katie, as an assassin, was used to seeing things and seeing people, and naturally could see what kind of state the girl in front of her was in.
"I'm Katie, and I'll be His Excellency Beta's servant from now on." A smirk flashed in Katie's eyes.
Hearing that, the corner of Liang Lidong's mouth twitched, and Emma's expression immediately became even more unsightly, but she still forced a smile and said, "Hehe, new servant, right? Hello, I wonder how you and Beta met."
Katie smiled and said, "He saw me on the street and kept pestering me. He did a lot of things for me and forced me to be his servant."
Emma stared at her and suddenly smiled. "Hehe, Beta is not like that. I've known him for a while, and I know his personality very well. Who are you exactly? "
"I can't fool you." Katie flipped her long hair and said seductively, "I'm Katie, the assassin. Nice to meet you, Princess Emma."
Emma was slightly confused. "You know me?"
Because Emma had been training in the Temple of Storm all year round and rarely appeared in public, everybody in Hollevin knew that the king had a daughter, but only a few people knew what she looked like.
Katie said with a smile, "The day before yesterday in Winterwind, if His Excellency Beta hadn't protected you, you would've been killed by us. I'm one of the assassins. "
Emma frowned. She didn't understand why Beta had brought an assassin here.
Knowing what was on her mind, Liang Lidong explained, "Katie is one of us now. Right … Emma, set up a soundproof barrier. There's something I need to tell you."
Enshrouding the three of them in a white soundproof barrier, Liang Lidong sat down and said, "Katie works for the first prince. The attack in Winterwind the day before yesterday was directed by the first prince."
Emma was stunned to hear that. She sat in a daze for a long time before she said, "Beta, you're not kidding, are you?"
Liang Lidong shook his head. "I'm not kidding. It's perfectly normal for the two princes to compete for the throne now that the old king is ill. I didn't expect that the first prince would consider you an obstacle too. "
Emma was still in disbelief. "My brother has already sent someone to kill me?"
Looking at Emma's absent-minded face, Liang Lidong sighed and patted Emma's shoulder. "Don't be too sad. You have to pay a certain price for being a member of the royal family and enjoying a better life than ordinary people. The affection of the royal family is much cheaper than that of ordinary people. I think you can understand that. "
Emma was silent. In fact, she had vaguely guessed that such a thing would happen, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
"You stay in the capital for now. I'll take Katie and her mother back to Reed Village." Liang Lidong said, "It won't take long. It'll only take half a day at most. Try to stay together in the capital and don't get separated. The first prince will probably come after you again."
Emma nodded in a daze and didn't say anything. Her sad but determined look was truly pitiful.
Liang Lidong heaved a long sigh and waved his hand to send Katie into Mystra's Mansion. Then, he activated Teleportation and returned to Reed Village.
As soon as they returned to Reed Village, Jessica knew that her master was back. She was exercising, but at this moment, she immediately ran over and quickly circled around Liang Lidong on her hands and legs.
Seeing this, Liang Lidong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself that Jessica's bloodline was getting stronger and stronger. In many cases, the strengthening of the bloodline would temporarily bring about some of the characteristics of the bloodline, such as the greed and violence of the dragon bloodline, the loyalty of the dogs, liking to stand on all fours, and so on.
These behaviors would exist for a while and then slowly fade away as one's strength increased.
Liang Lidong showed the curious Katie around the village and then led her into the Temple of Woking.
Standing before the statue of the goddess of Woking, she fell on one knee and said piously, "Noble goddess of Woking, I have studied your doctrine, and now, according to my oath, I am willing to become your fanatical believer and submit to you forever. Your justice is my justice, and your enemies are my enemies."
As soon as she said that, a golden light shot out of the right eye of the statue of the goddess of Woking and directly enveloped Katie.
Liang Lidong left the temple with Jessica. At this moment, the goddess of Woking should be communicating with Katie. It wasn't a good idea to stay inside.
Reed Village was very peaceful. Even the sky was bluer than in the capital. The master and the servant looked up at the sky and waited quietly.
Very soon, Katie came out. She was even more beautiful. Liang Lidong saw a level notification above her head.
lv10.
Liang Lidong smiled. The goddess of Woking seemed to have sensed that the Holy War was coming, and she was going to give it her all.
"So, you're Pope." Katie looked at Liang Lidong up and down. "The goddess also told me that your words are equivalent to her words, an oracle. I really don't understand. You don't look too bad, but you're mediocre. How can you be so favored by the goddess? "
Liang Lidong laughed at himself: "Maybe I'm really handsome?"
