The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

The mastermind, accomplice and victim of the kidnapping?

The murderer, the victim, the murderer's motive?

In short, more than one strange word can describe it.

Speaking of which, since she accepted her fate, the maid's cold face has melted a little.Although, it was still full of the taste of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but at least he didn't deliberately put on a straight face like before.

Plus, she tied up her front hair, which always hides her face.

Therefore, Riber is quite interested in the new image of the maid lady.

But he didn't dare to stare too obviously, because he found that as long as his eyes moved a little, the maid would stare at him fiercely.

In all fairness, Riber felt that the lack of emotion in the maid's stare gave him a stronger sense of oppression.

In other words, he prefers to be stared at so fiercely.

...

Could it be that he is an M?

Riber pondered.

While Riber and Claire were making eye contact, Melueita was busy on the sidelines.

When Riber came to the dungeon this time, he also took the lunch box and brought some seasonings requested by Melueta.

When Riber was beaten by Claire, although the lunch box fell aside, there was not much damage inside.

Not long after, Meluetta spread out the only square table in the dungeon with the refilled sandwich.

Surrounded by the square table, Riber saw the maid lady's expression was very strange.

I just can't figure it out, why does Melita act like a hostess in the dungeon?

what!

Riber actually couldn't figure it out either.

Melueta handed the sandwich to Riber graciously, and made black tea for him.

Claire on the side naturally didn't get this kind of treatment.

Facing this scene, Claire was very dissatisfied and glared at Riber again, as if asking what the difference was.Riber, on the other hand, stuffed the sandwich into his mouth innocently.

The taste is actually okay!

At least, it looks like food for people to eat.

"tasty."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ribel and Melueta looked at each other, and Melueta was still a little shy.

Therefore, Claire's side is more like a volcano about to erupt.

...

...

After enjoying the food and black tea, the three of them finally started talking.

No matter how important things are, you must continue talking after drinking tea. This is the demeanor of a nobleman!

Um...

The above is just Riebel's imagination.

In fact, among the three, the main force of communication is Meluetta and Claire.

Because Riber is still in a state of insufficient information just after crossing, he is more of an observer.Then, from time to time, she sipped her tea gracefully and nodded noblely from time to time.

Under Riber's explanation, Melueta finally believed that the maid in front of her was actually trying to rescue her from the dungeon.

So, there is the first key question.

"Why are you helping me?"

Facing this question, Claire finally confessed after struggling for a long time.

"Because... I am your older sister, Meluetta."

After saying this, Claire carefully observed the other two.

She saw Melueita was completely stunned, with a puzzled expression on her face.Riber, on the other hand, was still drinking tea calmly.

Sure enough, he noticed everything...

Claire thought so, but she didn't know that Riber's heart was actually quite shaken.

Ribel thought that there might be some more abstract reasons for the inexplicable help of the maid.

For example, in order to set off the character design of Meluita, the Holy Maiden of Light, in the plot setting, she is inexplicably influenced by Meluita.

Good guy, the reason for the relationship turned out to be so bloody...

If it was in the original world, Riber might still have some doubts about the words of the maid.

But this is the world of GALGAME after all.

The so-called no coincidence makes a book, if there are not all kinds of karma, the game plot may not be established.

"Sister? You, you, what are you talking about?"

On Melueita's side, after she was shocked, she showed a look of disbelief.

"On your arm, there are two petal-shaped birthmarks connected together."

"This... this kind of birthmark proves nothing! Now everyone can see it, and you may only think of it after seeing it."

"Not only your arms, but also your p... there are birthmarks on the lower back. To be precise, those are not birthmarks, but scars. In the past, I always liked to say that your birthmark is not a petal, but a donkey's hoof print. Then, In order to prove that it was not a donkey's hoof print, you went to provoke the little donkey. As a result... you were kicked."

Hearing what the maid said, Riber, who was drinking tea, almost choked.

This act seemed to be a little seriously ill, as expected of Melueita.

As the so-called three years old decides life, the ancients are sincere and do not deceive others...

"This, this, I...I..."

I saw Melueita's face turn red and turn pale, it was obvious that Claire hit the mark.

And the fact that she used her hands to protect the place where the donkey's hoof was scarred was in vain, and Claire's painstaking efforts to use words to modify that part were wasted.

"Y-I still can't explain anything..."

Seeing that Meluetta clearly almost believed the maid lady's words, but she was stubborn because of the prejudice in her heart.Riber, who felt that the stalemate would be a waste of time, shook his head and tried to persuade him.

"Meluetta. Just like when you tried to escape before, you never suspected that I wanted to release you on purpose and then catch you back. As kidnappers, we control everything about you. So, in your own On the premise of being unable to resist, cheating and teasing you will not have any benefit or meaning for us."

Hearing Ribel's words, Melueita changed her previous vigilance and nodded in sympathy.

"Mr. Riber is right!"

"..."

Claire, who was treated differently again, continued to stare at Riber with a big question mark on her head.

"Then... I'll call you sister for the time being. Of course, I don't believe that you are my sister. But I think it's impolite to call you Miss Maid all the time. Just like I am a village girl, but If you are always called a village girl, you will not be happy."

Facing Claire again, Meluetta uttered these inexplicably arrogant words.

Claire, on the other hand, didn't care at all, and her face became softer.

After that, Melueta also talked a little bit about her own childhood.

Her memory begins when she meets her grandpa and grandma who adopted her.

According to the two elders, she seemed to have floated down from the upper reaches of the river one day and was picked up by the two of them.

For a long time, Melueta thought that the words of the second elder were just the kind of words that parents who like to joke often use to tease their children.

It wasn't until a few years ago when the second elder died of illness that she brought up the matter again that she realized that she had really floated down from the river.

Contact Claire's self-report, as well as what she has seen and heard so far.

Riber guessed that Meluetta, who had been stubborn since she was a child, should have escaped from the human-trafficking church on her own, and then fell into the river.

As for the child who barely remembers, how far down the river can he survive?

It can only be said that the Holy Maiden of Light has been favored by the gods since she was a child.

And watching, the maid beside her was listening intently to Meluita's self-report the whole time.Moreover, after learning that Melueta's life so far was generally considered to be happy, she inadvertently showed a slight smile.

Riber is sure.

This person should be a natural sister-in-law.

Volume 23: Chapter [-], Inertia

In the dungeon, Meluetta and Riber continued to get information from Claire.

But if you put it on, the topic turned into fantasy.

The reason was that Melueta asked what would happen if she was brought back to the Church of Scourge.

And Claire's answer was that she would be a sacrifice.

Become a sacrifice to revive the third god of the Scourge Church.

In this world, gods really exist.And, it will also show people their sense of existence.This is also the reason why there are so many church organizations in this continent.

As far as Ribel knew, four different types of churches had emerged.

The Holy Fire Church where Melueita works, the secret organization Church of Scourge, and the Unnamed Church that abducted Sister Claire as a human trafficker.

In addition to these three, it is the Church of All Things that is generally recognized by the entire continent.

The Church of All Things, with believers all over the world, stands side by side with the Adventurer's Guild, and they are the two largest organizations in the world.

This information belongs to the category of common sense, and was previously learned by Ribel from Melueita.

Generally speaking, gods have different personalities, so the way they get along with people is also different.

However, gods with many believers basically have one thing in common, that is, they will bestow "strength" on believers.

The god of the Church of All Things is commonly known as the God of Universal Love.

The power she will give to believers is "level".

The god of the Adventurer's Guild is called the God of Knowledge.

The power she bestows on adventurers is "skills".

Levels and skills.

Hearing these two very familiar words, Riber was a little moved for a moment.Moreover, the levels and skills in this world are almost the same as what he understands.

As the level increases, people's basic abilities will increase.

And as long as you acquire a skill, even if you don't know anything about that skill and have never practiced it before, you can use it proficiently immediately after you learn it.

In fact, Riber couldn't figure out why a GALGAME has a system that sounds complicated.

He can only guess that the "Witch is Wailing" that he didn't have time to play may include a highly playable combat system.

All in all, there are also gods in the Church of Scourge, and there is more than one.

According to rumors, when the Scourge Church was at its peak, there were a total of six gods, but four of them were in a deep sleep state, and the other had just woken up.

It is precisely in order to satisfy the requirements of the gods that the Church of Scourge captures people who are blessed by the gods everywhere.

Here I have to mention again, the so-called "blessing".

Although the gods bestow power, they do not bestow it indiscriminately.

Even the god of fraternity, who has the highest probability of bestowing power, has only about [-] to [-]% chance of giving the power of "levels" to people.

And most of them are mass-production-level powers, and they can only rise to level [-] with all their efforts in a lifetime.

But there are occasional exceptions, and that is the blessing of the gods.

Those who get the blessing will get the full power of the gods. Taking the level as an example, his level limit will no longer be restricted.

Therefore, the blessing of the gods will be called the favor of the gods.
