Looking at everyone's suspicious eyes, Matthew had to bow his head to reality, closed his eyes and slowly knelt down.

He summoned the air element to support his knees.

It’s okay to bend your knees, but there’s no way to kneel down.This is Matthew's last bit of stubbornness.

The holy water showered his head, and Matthew's eyes filled with excitement, and he almost howled loudly in pain.

Every muscle in his body was trembling, and his soul was constantly being torn apart.

Ooooh, it hurts so damn much, ahhhh!

Seeing Matthew's excited tears streaming down his face, Deanna let out a sigh of relief.

Not bad, this guy actually still retains his faith in the Holy Light, and he can still be saved.

Only Matthew knew that he was hopeless.

Only those with negative constitutions such as darkness and chaos can be harmed by divine power.

He had to accept a cruel reality.

He might, might, probably really be the Demon King.

Oh, it hurts, it hurts!

Goddess, I just didn’t kneel down to you. Why don’t you be so cruel?

The shadow of the Lord of Holy Light gradually disappeared in the air. Before disappearing, she looked back at Matthew.

There was no human joy or anger in her eyes, only a hint of meaning.

Chapter 017 The Butterfly Effect

The miracle caused by Matthew's delivery of the baby ignited the enthusiasm of the people of Lundebell.

They called this night [Night of Miracles].

They believed that it was the Lord of Light who saved the baby and mother with the help of Matthew.

Matthew, who had been deprived of the fruits of his labor for no reason, had nothing to say. He was observing the mother's recovery and didn't bother to care about it at all.

For these fools who do not understand science, biological and medical knowledge is too profound, so it is better to package themselves as the chosen sons of God.

In his own territory, this is not difficult to do.

Matthew believes that as long as the more than 20 people in the territory believe this, sooner or later it will spread throughout the country.

Although this is feudal superstition, as long as it is used properly, it can still gather people's hearts. Matthew can only comfort himself in this way.

Five days later, the mother recovered well and Matthew allowed her to go home.

In the past five days, the entire earldom had become a busy mess, with the exception of three people.

Diana, Shirley and Histini shared the gift from the Lord of Holy Light. They chose to retreat and meditate, striving to transform this gift into combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Sistine is the most attentive to this. She must strive for a breakthrough, otherwise she will be unable to stop Shirley at all.

Before retreating, she solemnly confessed two things to her successor Surante.

First of all, Shirley is suspicious and needs to be watched closely.Secondly, if Shirley ends her retreat and tries to get closer to the kitchen, wake Sistine immediately.

Surante accepted the commission, but didn't care too much.

In her opinion, this was entirely a problem with Sistini's mentality.

Compared with Sistine, Miss Shirley has higher potential and stronger strength.Her appearance and figure are not inferior at all. It is normal for the owner to prefer Shirley.

You don't need to think about it to know that the head maid is anxious.

Jealousy dominated her behavior and made her words sound irrelevant.

Surant only hopes that Sistini can break through as soon as possible, so that her mentality may be better.

The master definitely doesn't want to see the head maid dominated by jealousy.

Surante kindly sent Sistini to a quiet valley for a retreat, and made a decision silently.

Sistine could only hear half of what she said.

She will keep an eye on anyone who poses a threat to her master, not just Shirley.

Sistine is right, food safety does need attention, and she will make arrangements.

Surante's qualifications are not as good as Histini's, but her mentality has always been very good, and she is rarely disturbed by worldly matters, so her cultivation progress is not too far behind.

Compared to Sistine, Surant prefers to stay in the library in his free time instead of being close to Matthew.

She took her position very seriously. She was a maid and the secretary of the library, not Matthew's wife.

If the master needs her to sleep with him, she will take a bath, dress up, and go to the bedroom in her best condition to be extremely gentle.

If the master doesn't need her, she will stay quietly in the library.

Isn’t it good to read, admire the moon, and be a quiet beautiful girl?

It's a pity that her tranquility was temporarily interrupted.

Now she is also serving as the secretary-general and must serve Matthew closely.

Following Matthew as he put villager Ruth and maternal Martha and their family into the carriage, Surante gently asked them if they had any other needs.

This was originally a polite word, but I didn't expect that Ruth actually made a request.

"Master Matthew, I am uneducated and don't know how to name my child. Please give your child a name."

It is also an honor to be named by the lord.

Matthew would be happy to help, but it's a pity that he himself is a bad namer. He can name his red horse "Red Rabbit", so it goes without saying what level of naming taste Matthew has.

He pretended to think, but turned his eyes to Surant for help.

"You are the secretary-general now, don't just stand there, do something useful."

Matthew said nothing, but the meaning in his eyes was clear.

Naturally, this little thing didn't bother Surante. She gently pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, thought for a few seconds, and came up with a naming idea.

"Master, this child was born bathed in holy light. I think it can be named something related to light."

It's a good idea, but that doesn't mean it's not said.

You might as well find a name from the Kingdom of Light.Uh, wait, the Kingdom of Light?This is so easy to do.

"Ruth, if you wish, this child shall be called Taro."

"Taylor?" This name is very rare in this plane, and Russ is a little confused.

"Taylor is a very strong warrior, and this is also my blessing for the child."

Seeing that her husband was still in a daze, Martha gave him an elbow to wake him up.Why are you still standing there, why don't you quickly thank Master Matthew?

Ruth came back to her senses instantly and expressed her gratitude to Matthew for the name.

Sooner or later, this news will spread throughout the territory, at least in Lundbell no one dares to bully little Taylor.

All in all, this is a good thing!It is much more useful than giving him money and food.

In Matthew's territory, workers are honored, and everyone can support their families through labor. Ruth has the hands and feet. He believes that he can make money based on his own ability, and naturally he is unwilling to accept charity.

The hard-working Lundebel people will never lie down and beg for food.

The night the miracle happened, the news spread throughout the Clare Empire and even spread to surrounding countries.

Miracles are miracles because they can create miracles that are beyond human reach.

If the surrounding countries cannot see the miracle coming, then it is probably a false miracle.

The news spread to the imperial capital, and the bards brought the stories of Matthew, Shirley, and Diana to the imperial capital.

The top officials of the empire and major social groups are very concerned about this matter.

In the northeast corner of the imperial capital, the Sophia Cathedral is a very secret soundproof prayer room.

A bearded man in armor and a priest in red sacrificial attire sat in a secret room, looking at each other.

"Snapped!"

Grand Leader Walder slapped his palm on the table angrily, almost roaring: "Why, why would the miracle of the Lord of Holy Light come to the land ruled by the Heartless Demon King!"

He did not dare to say that the Lord of Holy Light was blind.

But he always felt that something was not right.

Alley, the red-robed priest sitting opposite him, smiled and said:

"Grand Leader Walder, there is no need to be so anxious. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that Matthew has a negative constitution. My eyes can see through everything. I have observed him."

Walder said nothing, of course he trusted Alley's judgment.

He frowned and thought of another possibility.

"You're saying that it's possible that the miracle happened because of Diana and Shirley?"

"There is no Shirley, only Diana." Alley's voice was soft, but his attitude was very firm.

Walder suddenly understood and showed a clear expression.

He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Maybe we need a story."

"A reasonable, wonderful story that can convince everyone." Alley smiled and nodded in approval.

"The protagonist of the story is [Justice] Diana." Walder slapped the table.

Alley was very satisfied with Wald's quick thinking and calmly added: "We don't need to tell the believers the specific details explicitly, but we can hint them to make up their minds."

"You are right, Priest Aili. This story..."

"Leave it to Green, he is good at this." Alley made the final decision.

Huard didn't object, he nodded vigorously.

The night of the miracle.

The entire Clare Empire and several surrounding neighboring countries saw the pillar of holy light reaching into the sky, and also saw the scene of the Lord of Holy Light personally blessing it.

This scene was so shocking that no one dared to deny it.

Everyone has to face a fact.

Matthew is usually described as a frustrated devil, but now a miracle has come to the territory ruled by the devil.

Ironic?How ironic.

The mentality of the believers of the Lord of Holy Light, headed by the [Holy Holy See], [Knights of Walder] and [Angel Legion], exploded on the spot.

They couldn't figure out why the glory of the Lord of Holy Light was bathing in the land abandoned by God?

How do they explain this to believers?

Unlike the anxiety of those at the top, the attitude of grassroots believers is simple.

Since a miracle has come to Lundebel, it means that the Lord of Holy Light recognizes Matthew.

What, you said that was the Lord of Holy Light’s recognition of [Justice] Diana?

It's easy to make up, but it's illogical.If the Lord of Holy Light recognized Diana, why didn't he just send a miracle in the imperial capital?

Yes, why not the imperial capital?

In the palace, Emperor Windsor Boris Himilon, who was sitting on the throne, looked ashen.

The Clare Empire has an elector system, and the emperor must be changed every ten years, with a maximum of one reappointment.

In the past 100 years, only two emperors died during their term of office. The election of the emperor was carried out in advance. There were still three years left because of everyone's endless quarrels, resulting in a chaotic situation without an emperor.

Apart from this, all emperors were descended from the Himilon family.

The Himilon family has two kingships and three dukedoms, and three elector qualifications alone. It may be an exaggeration to say that they are half of the empire, but it is not an exaggeration to say that they are half of the empire.

Everyone supports their re-election.

Barring a miracle, the Himilun family's endless legacy will continue.

But now a miracle happened.

The original land abandoned by God has become a land given by God.
