C6 Behind the Orphanage

So he had to hide the Spiritual Plant, find a way to leave the orphanage, and then eat it. He had to start a new life. The delusion of all of this sounded so good, and now that he had taken the risk, he was afraid that it would all be for nothing. The Spiritual Plant had become the Yama's order instead.

Morna Garland looked at the Spiritual Plant in Kai's hand and thought that he had already taken care of it. She didn't know what else he was planning in his heart.

Not long after Kai entered, another person followed closely behind him. This person was not unfamiliar to Morna Garland. It was Cole, who had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. Even in the deep night, Morna Garland's eyes were clear.

Morna Garland did not plan to do anything. Instead, she waited outside, wondering if the two of them would meet.

Coincidentally, Kai and Cole had just finished their business and met. At that time, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive and the surroundings seemed to have turned cold.

Kai pretended as if he didn't know anything. He looked at the stars in the sky and said, "Today's night is very beautiful. I can't fall asleep, so I came out for a walk."

Cole had always been very sensitive. Everyone knew that Kai was definitely doing something in secret. He asked him in doubt, "Is that so?"

"Otherwise?" Kai ignored Cole and yawned, "I'm also tired from shopping. Go back and continue sleeping."

It was to escape as soon as possible. If he continued to tangle with Cole here, he might give himself away.

"Alright!" Cole also pretended to return to the dormitory with Kai. Then, he quietly slipped out and walked to the back of the mountain. He wanted to see what Kai was doing.

He and Kai were the same group of people who came to the orphanage. Now, only the two of them were in the same batch in the orphanage. Principal Michael had once whispered to him that he would pick one of the two of them to give magic to take over the orphanage. As long as he performed well, he would definitely be able to gain Michael's trust. It was too difficult to live as an ordinary person. He had to seize this opportunity.

Kai had always been unrestrained and did things that were against the rules. Normally, the two of them seemed to get along very well, but in fact, both of them hated each other so much that they were grinding their teeth. Cole had long wanted to catch him red-handed and teach him a lesson.

Long before Cole entered the fake mountain, Morna Garland had already taken the Spiritual Plant away.

Morna Garland couldn't help but smile when she saw Cole returning empty-handed. How funny it would be if she saw that Kai couldn't find her tomorrow. The thing that was originally given to him returned to her hands in the end. Indeed, there was a cycle of reincarnation in the Heavenly Dao.

"Let's go back," Morna Garland said.

Edward called out to Morna Garland, "I sense the dark attribute magic?"

"Dark attribute? What is it?"

"It is represented by the Devil Clan, which has the property of a powerful destructive force. It is at the opposite end of the spectrum from the light attribute," Edward explained.

Did that mean that there was a Devil Clan in the orphanage? Morna Garland became serious and hid deeper into the darkness. Calming down, her privilege allowed her to sense that it was deeper in the fake mountain.

Morna Garland moved quietly toward where, relying on her level, nothing could detect her.

As expected, there was a tall figure wearing a black robe with two horns on his head. That was the so-called Devil Clan, talking to a person. In front of the Devil Clan, there was Principal Michael.

"Race: Devil Clan

Occupation: Warrior

Level: 17"

Michael held a beating heart in his palm. Then, he sealed it in an iron box.

"This heart is the heart of the Devil Clan. There are many uses for it. For example, devouring it can obtain the power of the Devil Clan, or make some medicine bottles..."

Even if Morna Garland listened to Edward's explanation, she didn't know what Michael would use it for.

"The Demon King needs more children to break through to the third level of power. How are your preparations going?" The Devil Clan asked Michael in a deep and tearing voice.

Michael was very respectful in front of him. "We must have done what the empire ordered us to do. We just need to wait for the Demon King to call us."

"Very good! Hahaha!" The Devil Clan's laughter was terrifying.

Morna Garland felt a chill run down her spine when she heard this. "Michael actually colluded with the Devil Clan, and he even sacrificed so many children!"

This was more terrifying than watching a movie. Hearing it with her own ears might not make people feel fear.

Edward, on the other hand, had a very cold expression on his face. "It's not unusual for the empire and the Devil Clan to form an alliance. I know you want to save these children, but you have to find competent help first. As an assistant, although you can heal them and bring them back to life, it can only be done once a day. The Demon King can kill children thousands of times a day? Your use is insignificant."

Edward was right. Although Morna Garland was emotional, she also knew that some things were impossible. The most important part was to find a way to make Kai a follower and cultivate him.

Devil Clan spread its huge black wings in front of Michael, flapped them once, and then left his sight.

Michael could not contain his joy and left. Morna Garland followed closely behind, trying to figure out why he used the heart.

However, in the end, she only found that Michael put the heart in a secret room and left as if nothing had happened.

Morna Garland snuck into the secret room, and the scene inside was very familiar to her. The blue liquid was like formalin in a hospital container, soaking some strange biological limbs. These things were worthless to Morna Garland. She thought that there were some rare treasures inside.

The devil's heart was also placed in a container, but it was still beating, as if it still had life force.

In order not to alert the others, Morna Garland did nothing but leave the secret room. Then she asked Edward to adjust the level rights so that she could sleep properly. Morna and the children gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, Morna Garland was led by Cole to the dining hall to eat. She saw Kai wolfing down his food as if he hadn't eaten in days.

Why had he been so thin before, when he could eat ten cows a meal? It was a waste for Officer Dexter to have a handsome face on him.

Just as Kai was eating with relish, Cole sat down opposite Kai with Morna Garland. Kai was also stunned when he saw Morna Garland. He rubbed his eyes and widened his eyes. The appearance of the female hooligan clearly appeared in front of him. He realized that his eyes were not blurry due to old age. Otherwise, he would have thought that he had met a ghost.

Logically speaking, when she met those adventurers on the cliff that day, shouldn't there be nothing left of them? Why was she here?

Morna Garland smiled quietly at Kai. Kai choked on his food and drank two mouthfuls of water before running away. He really had seen a ghost.

Because Morna Garland was now a foolish woman, Cole was arranged to be by her side at all times. Before, she did not know why Michael treasured her so much. Now that she thought about it, she might be one of the children used as a sacrifice.

If he wanted to see Kai, he had to find a way to avoid Cole.

"Brother!" Morna Garland pretended to be sweet and said to Cole, "I'm full. I want to go back and sleep."

"Alright! I'll send you back now." Cole felt much better. As long as the silly girl did not run around and cause trouble for her, it was fine.

Morna Garland was disgusted by what she had just said. She couldn't bear such a sweet voice.

Morna Garland, who had returned to the female dormitory, immediately used her privilege to quietly leave. She was searching for Kai in the entire orphanage.

At this moment, Kai was throwing stones around the man-made lake in boredom. He was thinking about how to pass through Devil Forest and leave, but at the same time, he was a little worried that the Spiritual Plant would be discovered and taken away by others.

Morna Garland, who was standing behind Kai, kicked him hard. Kai staggered and fell to the ground. He turned around and saw Morna Garland as if he had seen a ghost. "Are you crazy?! Are you trying to scare me to death?!"

Morna Garland smiled and joked, "You didn't die after falling off the cliff, how could I die before you? By the way, I said that I would let you live a better life. Have you thought about it? "

"What? Are you crazy?!" Kai got up and ignored this female hooligan. She was so close to Cole, so she was clearly on the same side, "I'm warning you! Don't come with Cole to mess with me! Otherwise, I won't let you off!"

Kai's eyes widened. For a moment, he looked just like Officer Dexter when he was angry. He remembered when he was at the front line, Morna Garland had mocked him for not having a partner in his thirties, just like how he wanted to kill her.

"All right, I'll wait for you!" Morna Garland put down her pride. Would she be afraid of him?

Cole had been thinking about one thing all this time. He sized up Morna Garland and said curiously, "But I realized that you're not a fool. What exactly did you come to this damn place for?"

"You said I was after you! Can you do it?" Morna Garland said to Kai in a playful tone.

Kai was originally a pure young man. After being teased like this, his hair stood on end. "Female hooligan, don't you feel ashamed?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Just like that, Kai left while cursing.

Looking at Kai's back as he left, his expression tonight would definitely be very funny.

"I say, Miss Morna Garland, will your appearance lower the favorability in his heart? You don't have a good impression in her heart to begin with!" Edward reminded her, his heart full of worry.

"What? Do you want a favorability rating for a contractual follower? Don't make fun of me, okay?" Morna Garland said, amused.

"That's right! Only with a certain level of favorability can you contract a follower. Let me show you his favorability towards you."

Edward opened a panel. On it were a few big words - "Favorability -50."

"What! Don't tell me this is a love system?" Morna Garland was shocked.
