In the third episode, Li Fuguang stayed upstairs for a while to deal with Anna.
But he didn't expect that because of this small difference, the earl's father directly sent the butler.
After successfully changing the maid, Li Fuguang took Winnie downstairs.
This time she no longer saw the father and son looking at the parchment. The two seemed to have learned the whole story from the maid, and they both looked at her with a look of relief at this moment.
After completing the ritual as usual, Borui actually showed her an appreciative smile.
"Maya, this is how you look like your mother's daughter."
Even Herbert nodded;
"Indeed, luckily you still have some brains and know how that maid treats you behind the scenes. No matter how you deal with it, the honor of the Esther family cannot be tarnished by outsiders!"
Anna, who was held behind her back by the maid, her eyes widened in disbelief when she heard Herbert's words.
It turns out that Master Herbert knows everything!
He just wanted to train his sister's abilities!
I've been being used at gunpoint all the time without even realizing it!
Li Fuguang also raised his eyes slightly in surprise, her cheap brother actually knew everything.
After Anna was taken down, the hall returned to silence.
Li Fuguang slowly ate the white bread she had eaten twice, but this time, she focused on her father and brother, whom she had paid little attention to the previous two times.
She had always thought that it would take a long time to learn more about these two people, and the cold attitude of these two people made her dare not get close.
But now it seems that even if there are any opinions on weekdays, it is my family members who will take action at critical moments.
She could just use the topic of coming-of-age ceremony to make some conversation.
Li Fuguang stared at Count Borui's movements, and the moment he put down his knife and fork, he also put down his knife and fork.
"Father, today is my adult ceremony. I heard that if I offer my faith to the gods, I will be blessed. Is this true?"
Borui was a little surprised,
"Have you finally given up on your ridiculous ideas and want to fall into the arms of God?"
Although Li Fuguang felt that his choice of words was slightly inappropriate, he nodded and admitted.
Since the way to break the cycle is to gain the favor of God, then go and believe in Him!
Anyway, God doesn’t know what I’m thinking.
Upon hearing his daughter's words, Borui's expression was very complicated, mixed with relief, surprise and some emotions that Li Fuguang couldn't see through.
"Okay, okay! You have really grown up! I will ask the housekeeper to send the prayer book to your room later, and you should try to memorize it before midnight!"
Li Fuguang thanked him sweetly.
Borui's expression became strange again, as if he was looking at someone through her.
After an experience, Li Fuguang quickly understood who he was looking at.
Sure enough, the next second, Borui said with nostalgia: "You and your mother look more and more alike. I still remember your mother's smile as if it was yesterday."
Li Fuguang didn't know what to say. Fortunately, his father didn't want her to say anything and left with the housekeeper.
Li Fuguang greeted Herbert and went upstairs.
There is already a prayer book on the dressing table in the room.
It was a brown-red booklet, thin, and the pages were even edged with gold.
"Winnie, go and bring me some tea, no bread."
Although Winnie wondered why Miss Maya wanted to serve tea after she had just finished breakfast, a good maid would not ask why and would just do as she was told.
Li Fuguang flipped through a few pages. The first few pages were filled with praises, worship, and things that should always be kept in mind. They were no different from foreigners' belief in God.
Until I turned to the last page, the font on this page was no different from the previous page, except that the color was more dark red, as if it was written with blood.
“To obtain God’s gift, you must summon Him to come after offering enough sacrifices.
Um? Kneel at His feet, kiss His insteps, and offer Him your most sincere praise and love..."
The front part is okay, it sounds like a way to summon this god, but what's the ghost behind it? !
Such a pervert, the feet of a relative!
Li Fuguang made a disgusted "Eh" sound.

In the conference room.
Li Jiqing is sorting out the new plots obtained after each comeback.
Deng Lin opened the door and walked in.
Li Jiqing quickly opened his seat for him.
"What's going on now?"
Deng Lin's voice was very tired.
Li Jiqing's eyes were full of worry. Mr. Deng's illness was getting worse.
"Mr. Deng, Li Fuguang has been through the third game now, and has obtained information related to the gods. I think he will be able to pass the game soon.
Issa, like most of the Chosen Ones, is still in the first week, and our country is the fastest progressing. "
Hearing this, Deng Lin smiled sincerely even though his body was in pain.
He couldn't imagine that his condition would develop so quickly, but at least he could still survive for a month, and he should be able to see the day when Li Fuguang kicked Thriller Games out.
★
After roughly flipping through the booklet, Li Fuguang focused on the prayers and began to recite them in a low voice.
"Miss Maya? I brought black tea and matcha cake, which are your usual flavors. They were just made in the kitchen."
Winnie came to Li Fuguang holding the tea shop.
Li Fuguang dropped the brochure and took the cake with a surprised look on his face.
This is much more delicious than that dry bread.
After eating and drinking, Li Fuguang was just about to tell Winnie to clean up when he caught a glimpse of Winnie holding her booklet and looking at it carefully.
"Winnie?"
Winnie was like a frightened mouse, her eyes widened in fear.
"What are you doing? Isn't this common in the manor?"
Li Fuguang was a little curious. Logically speaking, everyone in the manor should have a copy of this kind of prayer book, but it seemed like Winnie had never seen it before.
Winnie sheepishly put the pamphlet back on the table.
"Miss Maya, we maids are not qualified to read the prayer book. My prayers were all taught by the housekeeper. I just looked at it out of curiosity."
"Oh, do you understand? Is there any difference?"
Winnie blushed slightly,
"Miss Maya, I, I can't read, I just watched it for fun."
Li Fuguang was stunned. Indeed, in this era, except for nobles, almost no women had the opportunity to be literate.
"It's okay, I'll read it to you."
Li Fuguang felt more sympathy in his heart and read the contents of the prayer book to Winnie, which was also a refresher.
Winnie was a little scared at first, but as time went on, she became more and more immersed in it.
Unknowingly, Li Fuguang read the last page.
She paused and continued reading,
"To obtain God's gift..."
"Um?"
Winnie made an obvious sound of confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"Butler, I've never been taught this."
Winnie repeated the paragraph "obtaining the gift of the gods" that Li Fuguang had just read.
Li Fuguang was suspicious and read the entire page to Winnie.
Winnie was confused after hearing this.
“Miss Maya, the housekeeper never taught us this.
Moreover, we never kiss the back of our feet or anything like that. This sounds more like a cult. Could it be that we got it by mistake? "
Speaking of the latter part, Winnie almost lowered her voice, as if the topic of "cult" was very sensitive here.
