This was a beautiful man whose appearance was hardly inferior to Adam's, except that unlike Adam's warm and elegant style under the shine of the sun, this man possessed a sinister and dangerous allure with his delicate and effeminate appearance.
"Hey, is this your and Eve's daughter? She has grown so much in the blink of an eye."
As soon as Satan appeared, he directly looked at the girl in the nun's outfit, who was being shielded behind by an old acquaintance, and immediately flashed a creepy uncle's grin.
"I remember this child is called Dorothy, meaning God's gift; it's quite a fine name."& Bible," he praised, his smile, however, looked more mocking than ever, knowing all too well that it was because of the child's birth that his old friend had abandoned the glory and power which were within easy reach and thus exiled himself.'
Oh, the irony of the man who was once closest to the deities being exiled because of "God's gift."
"Although it was I who introduced you to that witch, Eve, I warned you back then, Adam. That witch only has eyes for the mysteries of magic and has no room for anything else. You couldn't handle it, could you? How does it feel to be toyed with and then discarded? "
"Never mind, seeing how downtrodden you are now, I won't mock you anymore. Besides, you've completely broken ties with the Church. From now on, just comfortably be my brother-in-law, as Lilith has been waiting for you all these years.
Satan walked up, enthusiastically clasping Adam's shoulder, and thus spoke.
Ah, that's a lot to process; let me catch my breath first.
Is my familial background still this convoluted? And why does the motif where a woman abandons her husband and child in pursuit of magic feel so familiar?
The Homebody Witch quietly glared at her priest father in front of her, then frowned once again.
Adam, are you secretly taking me away again, and my witch mother is out there looking for me?
Having been deceived once already, Dorothy was now very cautious.
Of course, witches in this era are certainly not the same concept as those in future times; in this era, a witch is a nickname for powerful witches, only a few of the strongest witches are recognized as such.
Dorothy silently recalled her witch True Name, and among the dictionary-thick name, she found the segment "Eve."
And her True Name is basically inherited from her biological mother Euphilia, which means Mother Dragon is somewhat an Eve as well.
I can't help but feel there's something wrong here; why all these coincidences?
The Homebody Witch pondered thoughtfully.
But Adam, clearly annoyed with Satan talking too much, forcibly took this old friend away to talk in the distance, leaving no chance for Dorothy to eavesdrop.
After a while, Satan transformed back into a giant snake and disappeared, and Adam then returned to Dorothy and Denisha to say,
"Everything is arranged, and we'll settle down here."
After the two nodded in agreement, the priest seriously added,
"This place is more dangerous than our previous village, so from now on, you both need to learn some self-defense techniques."
Time swiftly passed, and before long a month had gone by.
On the outskirts of the City of Sin, a quaint church stood, where at this moment, two young girls were practicing in the open ground outside the church.
The girl on the left was wearing a nun's habit with a veil over her face, her curvaceous figure making the loose habit seem somewhat tight, which was rather suggestive.
The girl on the right was dressed as a knight, wearing simple armor and her dazzling blonde hair casually piled up behind her head, combined with her stunning beauty, she exuded a heroic and impressive demeanor.
Both were wielding wooden swords, exchanging blows back and forth. If any clergy were present, they would recognize that the swordsmanship the young girls were practicing was the Church's Paladin secret technique — Cross Slash Evil Sword.
This was indeed what Adam had taught the sisters for self-defense over the past month. Though he was stripped of his title, he hadn't lost his memory. As a former big shot, guiding two naive girls was more than manageable for him.
Probably because they were trained by the same master, even after hundreds of swift bouts, they were still evenly matched, neither able to breach the other's defenses.
After dozens more rounds, Dorothy was getting impatient.
At this point, she could finally understand what others felt when they faced her in the past.
She was after all a Martial God; her martial arts talent was undeniable. The swordsmanship Adam taught her was quickly mastered, while Denisha was somewhat weaker, being just a common village girl, so initially Dorothy was brutal over the Martial God every day.
However, the good times did not last long. Just as Dorothy had rapidly improved under the pressure of Senior Mia before, now Denisha was growing at a terrifying pace under her pressure, to the extent that, a month later, Dorothy could no longer defeat her opponent quickly.
Shit, trained by the same master right? She truly deserves to be a fellow Talent holder.
